"Elizabeth, what the hell is wrong with you?" Jake demands harshly. He can't believe that she just said that.

"Sam should have respected Olivia's wishes and kept her mouth shut. It was none of her business. She had no right to say anything to Julian," Liz says looking right at Sam. "It had nothing to do with her."

Sam looks back at Liz and can see that she is not talking about the situation with her little brother anymore. She is referring to when she almost told Lucky about Jake. But Sam was in no mood to roll over and play dead. "So I should have just lied about it?" Sam said putting emphasis on the word lie. "Never said anything to my dad about having a new baby and my brother about having a new sibling? I should have just let Olivia and Ned have their way because their happiness was the only ones that mattered. Is that right, Liz?" Sam asks her in a cold voice.

Jake had a funny feeling that they were no longer talking about Sam and her little brother. Liz is a bit taken aback by what Sam said. "What is going on, you guys?" Jake asks in a confused voice.

"Nothing" says Elizabeth too quickly, "Sam just has a problem with keeping out of other people's business, that's all."

"You know what Elizabeth, I don't know what the hell your problem with me is all of a sudden but I'm going to leave you to explain in to your boyfriend. Jake, like I said if you could please wait for a couple of days to tell my dad you're leaving, I would really appreciate it." Sam turns to him and says.

"Absolutely. No problem." He answers. Liz rolls her eyes as Sam leaves the diner. "I think that you and I need to have a talk." Jake turns to Liz and says.

*Flashback*

"GRANDMOTHER! WHERE ARE YOU?" Nikolas yells as he walks into the house that he is having her held at. He has just flown in from seeing Lila for the first time and he wants some answers. After Silvia told him what she said to Lila about her parents he had to know it all. Helena comes out from one of the back rooms smiling as she sees Nikolas. "Nikolas, my darling! I'm so glad that you have finally come to see me. One gets rather board when there is no one to talk to."

"This isn't a social call, Helena. I've just come from seeing Lila." he tells her. "And you are going to tell me just what the hell happened. Now!" he shouts.

"Oh all right. There is no need to be so dramatic." She said, absently.

"Start from the beginning. How long have you known that Sam is a Cassadine?" "She is not…" "She is too me! Now talk!" he yells.

"From her conception," Helen says calmly. "Your grandfather told me of her as soon as he had Natasha pulled from school. Before he took her away from her he even named her."

"What was her name?" Nikolas asks softly.

"Maarika Neith Natasha Cassaidine." Helena says in a dry tone.

Nikolas smiles softly. That name fit his cousin perfectly. Maarika means rebellious woman and Neith means goddess of war. "Why he did it I'll never know. It's not as if she is a real Cassadine."

"But she is grandmother. Just because she does not come from your DNA does not make her any less Cassadine. It makes her extremely lucky," he smiles at her mockingly.

"Did you know who she was when she came to Port Charles?" he asks her.

"Yes. I had her followed all her life. I wanted to make sure that she never found out who she really was. But when she and Natasha first met they heated each other on first sight. I knew then that if the truth did eventually come out it would not affect the real Cassadine's." she finished.

He shakes his head at her and says "Get on with it."

"OK! When Samantha went in to labor, I was notified immediately. I then made arrangements for the baby to be presumed dead and taken away."

"Who helped you?" Nikolas asks.

"Steven Webber. I paid him handsomely to make sure the parents thought the baby dead and then to hand her over to me." she smiles a cold smile.

"Why?" he demands "Why would you take her away from her parents. You obviously had no plans to raise her as a true Cassadine so why? WHY?" he yells.

"Because Sam took your grandfather away from me!" she yells right back.

"What the hell are you talking about, Helena?" "After she was born, Sam was all he could think and talk about. Maarika this and Maarika that. It was as if she was the most important thing in the world to him. He never talked about me and his sons that way. Even after she was adopted by the McMall's, he kept tabs on her. He had pictures of her that he kept in a lock box I found after he died. She was the only thing in the world that mattered to him." She finishes. "I couldn't stand her!"

"She had no idea how she really was!" he exclaims.

"Oh it didn't matter! She deserved to know pain. So I made sure that she felt unbearable pain." Helena smiles coldly.

"You are one evil bitch, Helena." Nikolas states at her.

"Oh come now Nikolas. You are keeping just as big a secret from Sam as I am. Only know you are keeping them both." She says.

"What makes you think that I won't tell Sam and Sonny the truth, huh? Why should I keep Lila from her parents any longer than you already have?" he asks.

"For the same reason you are keeping Jason from Sam and everybody else he loves. I have the information to put you away for a very long time, my dear. Which means you will be away from your son and family." She finishes.

*End Flashback*

Back at the hospital Patrick is checking on his newly awoken patient. "Well, everything seems to look great." He tells her.

Hayden smiles up at him. "Thank you, Dr. Drake."

"And you have all of your memories? You remember it all?" he asks her.

"Oh I remember everything." She smiles at him.

"That's good. I am glad that I am going to be able to tell Sam and Jake that you are OK. They were really worried about you."

"No!" she exclaimed "If you could not, I would really like to be the one to tell them all." She finishes.

"Well, under doctor/patient confidentiality I am not allowed to say anything without your consent."

"Great!" she smiled. "Oh I can't wait to let everyone know the truth."
