The next day, Jake woke up when he heard the doorbell ringing. He ran down the stairs and found Sam and Danny at the door. "I am sorry for waking you up but Danny wanted to see his daddy. I told him the good news last night after our talk. I know that you said we will never be a couple but we could still live together as a family for Danny. He deserves to have a mother and father live with him." Jake let them in and wondered what he was going to do about Sam.

Jake hugged his son and realized that Jake might still be alive. If Helena did all of the things that everyone has accused her of then it would not be a stretch for her to have taken their son, Jake away from them. "Sam, I explained to you yesterday that I don't love you. I want to be a father for Danny but that is all. We are not moving in together and we are not going to be some golden couple. I need to figure out some things and then I am going to leave Port Charles for a while. I have some things that need to get done." Sam slapped Jake in the face. She grabbed Danny and left.

Jake went over to see Nikolas. He had a feeling that Nik might know more than he lets on about little Jake. He knocked on the door and Alfred let him in. "I guess you are here because Elizabeth told you the truth. What can I do for you?" Jake wanted to throttle Nik but knew that was not going to get him what he wanted.

"I have a feeling that your grandmother has taken my son, Jake. I need some answers because Elizabeth needs some closure. She has been hurt so much and I know that she thinks of you as a great friend. Let me prove that to her with bringing Jake home." Nik looked at Jake and knew that he never actually saw Jake but believed him to be on Cassadine Island. He knew that he owed it to Elizabeth to help Jake get back her son.

"Okay, I think he might be on my island in Greece. I haven't seen him but I have heard rumors about a young boy living there. Give me an hour and meet me at the airstrip." Jake went back to get a few of his things for the flight. He called Elizabeth hoping to catch her before he left for Greece.

"Hi. I am so glad that we finally connected. I miss you and I know that we can work things out. Can you come here for a few days so we can talk? The boys miss you and you will love the weather here. Right now I am drinking coffee watching the tide come in."

"I am working on a surprise for you and our boys. I have to leave the country for a few days but I will be in California as soon as I do this. I have to check out something that has been bothering me about Helena. Nik is going to help me find some answers. I love you and miss you too. Give the boys a big hug for me and tell them that I have an adventure to go on and if I am right that they are going to have the best surprise ever. I have to meet Nik at the airstrip. I love you Liz. Don't forget that." Elizabeth and Jake said their good byes both with tears in their eyes. This had to work because Jake knew deep down in his heart that their son, Jake was still alive.

Jake made it to the airstrip just about the same time as Nik and Spencer. Spencer had made a friend on the island and he believes that it might be Jake. His great grandmother had told him that he was mistaken but Spencer didn't believe that.

Early the next morning the three of them were getting off the plane and heading to the compound. On the way there, Spencer told them to stop at one of the little homes on the island. Spencer went to the door and knocked on it. A boy just a bit younger than Spencer answered the door. The minute that Nik saw him he knew it was Jake. Jake ran out to see his "Uncle Nik". When Jason saw the little boy he knew it was his son. Jake had seen pictures of himself as Jason and also of young Jake. There was no way to deny the two of them. When Jake looked at "Jason" he thought he recognized him.

"I think that I have seen you before. I have been here for a long time. My parents died so my grandmother adopted me. She tells me stories all the time about my parents. She also told me stories about the soldiers on the island. I think that you were one of them. I saw you one day while they were training you. But I think you looked a bit different. Actually the soldier looked like my mom's friend Jason. Uncle Nik did you find out about me? I tried to get your attention before but my grandmother wouldn't let me talk to you."

"Dad, see I told you that I thought that Jake was here. You didn't believe me." Spencer and little Jake went inside his house. Jason and Nik followed them inside the home.

Just then a little old lady came into the kitchen. She was the one that was watching young Jake for Helena. "You must be the father. I heard that you were hurt and that you had plastic surgery. You must think that I am terrible. I have taken good care of your son. It was only supposed to be for a little while and then Helena changed her plans. I think that was when you were being brought here for conditioning. You won't remember any of it but you were here for some time. Young Jake did not know that you were his father. He only knew you as his mother's friend. I know you need to bring him back home to his mother but I want you to know that I have been good to him and Helena would have killed both of us if I tried to bring him back."

"You are right. My grandmother would do anything to protect her projects but I don't understand why she would take young Jake away from his parents. Lucky is not his father. There was no real reason to hurt Elizabeth." Just then Helena walked in.

"That is where you are wrong, Nikolas. I knew that if I took Jake away from Elizabeth it would break Lucky and Elizabeth up and you could be her husband. You are a difficult person to please. So, you both are taking young Jake back to that twit. Who gets to play hero. Nikolas you should have stayed home. You can't win this way." Nikolas shook his head at his grandmother.

"This should never have been about me. Jake deserves to be with his family. Jason deserved to be with his family. You have done too much damage to my friends and myself. We are leaving and taking Jake with us."

Jake and Spencer came down the stairs with Jake's belongings. The four of them headed for the airstrip. Once they got on the plane and it took off the two grown men were finally able to breathe. They landed once to re-fuel and then headed to California.

"Elizabeth, I am not sure if you are sleeping or just missed this call. Nik and I have a great big surprise for you and our boys. We should be landing in about eight hours which would be around ten in the morning your time. I love you. Can't wait to see you."

The plane landed at the airstrip and they were met by Sarah, Elizabeth and the boys. Nik and Spencer were the first ones to get off the plane. Then young Jake came off the plane and ran straight to his mother and brothers. Jason followed him and kissed his girlfriend. There were tears on all the grown-ups faces. The boys just looked at them like they were all crazy.

"Mom, is that really you? They told me that you were dead. I saw Jason on the island but that was before he got a new face. He was one of the soldiers that Helena was training. I think they had frozen him and then after the freezing they turned him into a machine. Cameron, wow you got so big. Aiden was a baby when I was taken." He looked at how everything had changed so quickly and he finally started to cry. He couldn't believe that someone would tell a child that his parents were dead and take them from their family only to have lied about it.

Sarah went and hugged Nik. "I have missed you. Thank you for bringing my nephew back to my sister. Do you want to come over to my beach house? There is plenty of room for all of us. It is about a mile from here and the two of you are welcome. Spencer, do you want to check out my beach house? I have a game room that you would love to play in with Cam. There is the beach and I also have a swimming pool." They had brought over the jeep and had to make two trips to get everyone back to Sarah's place.

Jason went into the house to call Carly to tell her the good news. She told Jason that she will call Monica and Spinelli up to tell them. Jason then called Diane with the news that Jake was still alive. Diane told him that she would draw up the papers necessary for them and file them with the court. When they got back to Port Charles, the two of them would go before a judge to be declared legally alive again. Elizabeth called Lucky with the news that Jake was still alive. She told them that Helena had him the whole time and Nik helped bring him back.

Diane called a couple hours later with the news that the papers had been sent to the courthouse and that in exactly a month, Jason and young Jake had to go back to Port Charles to see the judge about declaring themselves alive.

Diane had given Jason back his money so he could take care of himself and his family. They all loved California. The homes around where Sarah lived were beautiful. There was a piece of property that was overlooking the ocean where the young couple was thinking about buying. Port Charles was going to be part of their past and their future was going to be there in Malibu.
