Jamie was confused when he got to the house and found it empty. He'd called his father and then talked to his grandfather before hurrying down to the hospital. He'd gone to the front desk and asked for… his room? It was strange. The nurse at the desk had been confused but thankfully Linda had shown up.

After a quick search Linda found his room and the two headed that way.

When they entered the room Eric, Danny, Pop and his Dad all rushed towards him. They surrounded him and wouldn't stop hugging him until they heard the door open. Suddenly his Dad broke away and moved towards the person that had just walked out.

Once his Dad moved to the side he got to see this mystery person for the first time. The one his entire family mistook for him. How could his family get it so wrong? When he saw the person he understood because if Jamie didn't know any better he'd think he was looking in a mirror.

"Wow" was all Jamie could think to say.

Both men were staring at each other in shock. It was strange, looking at someone who was identical to you. The rest of the family kept looking between Jamie and the other one unsure of what to say.

It was his dad that broke the silence. "Jamie, this is your brother. Jack."

Everyone whipped his or her heads around to face Frank Reagan.

"I don't have a brother named Jack" Jamie said slowly wondering if his father had lost it.

His Dad swallowed and took a calming breath before continuing, "You do Jamie. We just didn't tell you."

"Why wouldn't you tell me about a brother, I'm guessing twin?" Jamie asked annoyed. He couldn't tell if his family was screwing with him or if they were serious.

The other man, the one that looked just liked Jamie, started making his way towards the center of the room, pointedly avoiding all of them. Everyone moved out of his way. His dad was the first one to realize where Jamie's supposed twin was headed and cut the man off at the pass.

"I'm sorry" his dad apologized when seeing… Jack's? face flash in fear at being stopped from leaving, "I'm sorry I just can't let you leave. I can't…"

"We can't loose you again," Pop explained stepping next to Frank.

Both men looked devastated at the fact that they were causing Jack fear but they also looked as though they wanted to hold the man and never let him go.

"Will somebody please tell me what's going on!," Jamie exclaimed. "Is this some sort of sick joke? Why does he look like me? Who the hell is Jack?"

"Tell you what," Erin cut in, "Why don't we all take this to the house where we'll have a bit more privacy?"

Everyone was nodding at that. Jamie knew it was a good idea but he wanted answers.

It seems as though his dad could tell what he was thinking, "Let's just go to the house Jamie, I promise you'll get your answers there. You both will." That last part was directed at the other man, Jack.

Jack shook his head no, it was clear to Jamie that the man just wanted to leave, to get away.

-BLUEBLOODS—

He didn't know what they were all talking about just that he didn't want to stay here and he didn't want to go with them. He wished that the man hadn't stopped him from leaving.

Everyone in the room seemed to be under the mistaken impression that he was someone named Jack. Well everyone but his apparent clone. He guessed this was the one called Jamie; it would make sense.

As they were all discussing going home he tried to slip out the door past the man who didn't let him leave last time. He didn't make it.

The man moved a hand in front of him and he jumped back. Everyone in the room froze and stared at him in shock. Danny, Pop, Jamie, both older women and the man all stared at him in horror and sympathy as well.

"It's alright" the man said calmly holding his hands up in a placating gesture.

He narrowed his eyes at the man. He didn't want to be kept here. He didn't want to be trapped here. He wasn't Jamie or Jack or whoever else they thought he was. Why couldn't they just see that?

"Hey," Pop said, "It's going to be fine. We just want to talk to you someplace a little more private, away from prying eyes."

He vehemently shook his head no. He did not want to go someplace more 'private' with these people. He didn't trust these people. How did he know he'd make it out of whatever 'private' place they were going to?

"I'm confused" one of the small boys piped up.

"Yeah, why does that guy look like Uncle Jamie?" the smallest boy asked.

The man sighed but appeared to be giving in. "OK. Everyone take a seat and I'll explain."

He didn't want to but it was the best option he could think of right now. At least once they'd explained then he could leave. Hopefully.

The man waited until everyone was sitting before he started pacing and talking, right in front of the door.

"When Jamie was born he was a twin." The man started.

"I'm not a twin though" Jamie countered.

"You actually have an identical twin." The man smirked. "The both of you came out holding onto each other, the doctor said he'd never seen anything like it. You two actually had to be pried apart and screamed every second that you were separated until they laid you down next to each other again."

"The two of you were taken down to be cleaned up so that your mother could get some sleep and when they came back a few hours later only Jamie came back" Pop threw in.

"You wouldn't stop crying for weeks" the man said to Jamie, "though your mother didn't either. I turned that hospital apart looking for Jack but I never found him."

"I put the entire NYPD on the cast but nothing came from it. No one knew a thing. It was as though Jack had dropped off the face of the earth." Pop explained.

"It killed us." The man said, "I thought I was going to loose my mind. Every time I looked at Jamie I could see both of my little boys, the one I had and the one I lost. I spent years searching for you Jack but after ten years I… I… had you declared deceased," this was directed at him, "I failed. I failed and you went through unimaginable horrors because of it."

The man had to stop talking because he was crying. He just couldn't believe that a man would cry so openly, or at all. Crying showed weakness. But hey, the man was clearly a cop and so was Pop. Cops were weak; they hid behind a badge and a gun and did whatever they wanted because they had an army on their side.

"So I have a twin brother?" Jamie asked hesitantly.

He rolled his eyes, hadn't the man just said that. Apparently they all thought he was this Jack, the twin. He could understand why they believed this; they looked alike. Still, his name wasn't Jack; it was Connor.
