Everyone is in a stunned silence. They couldn't believe that Hayden was standing there in front of them. "Geeze! You all look like you've seen a ghost. I was in a comma not dead." She joked as she makes her way further into the room. Liz and Nikolas are both in a panic. They cannot believe that Hayden was out of her comma and here to ruin everything. Their only hope was that she did not remember what she knew about Jason. But deep down, they both knew that that was not the case.
"Hayden," Sam says "not that everyone is happy to see you and that you are awake but what is going on? How long have you been out of your comma?" Sam finishes looking between her and Patrick. There was no way that Patrick did not know about this.
"About a week, Mrs. Morgan." Hayden puts emphases on the Mrs. Morgan and looks directly at Liz when she says it. That was when that Liz knew it was all over. As did Nikolas. "But I just got out of the hospital today." Hayden turns her attention back to Sam. Sam looks over at Patrick but before she can say anything Hayden says "Don't be mad at him Sam. I asked him not to say anything and because I am his patient he could not. I really wanted to be the one to tell you that I was awake."
"As glad as we all are, don't you think that you should have picked another time. I mean, Danny's party is hardly the place for this." Jake says as he is still getting over the shock of seeing her.
"Well Jake, Danny's party is the exact perfect place for this. You remember that I had something to tell you and Sam? Well it affects Danny also. And most of the people in this room." She finishes.
"What the hell does Jake's identity have to do with my son?" Sam asks, a little harshly.
"Everything." Hayden answers her.
"Enough." Nikolas says. He can't let her continue to speak. She will ruin everything he has been trying so hard to get. "You are not going to come in here and ruin this party. There are children here for God's sake! Sam, I'll take care of this." Nikolas goes to grab Hayden when she yells "Get your hands off me!"
"Sabrina, can you please take the kids in to another room? I don't want them around this." Sam asks Sabrina. Sabrina gathered the children and left the room as Nikolas and Hayden continued on. "I don't know who the hell you think you are but what makes you think anyone in this room will believe a thing you say, huh? You are a liar, Hayden. You nothing but a conniving con artist who is looking to ruin everyone's life. You need to leave."
"ENOUGH!" Jake shouts. Everyone is taken aback by Jake's outburst. "I want to know what Hayden has to say. Before she was shot he said she knew who I really was and I want to know. I also want to know what Sam has to do with any of it."
"But Jake, she is a liar. You know you aren't going to be able to trust anything she says." Liz pleads with him.
"I would be very careful how you both throw the word liar around." Hayden says to Liz and Nikolas. "Considering what you both have been keeping form these people, you are in no position to call me a liar!"
"Ok what the hell is going on?" Sam demands.
"Hayden tell us what you want to tell us." Jake followed.
No! You can't listen to her!" Liz exclaimed.
"Elizabeth, shut up!" Carly yells at her. "It's Jake's choice and he wants to know. It's not like it affects you anymore any way. He dumped your ass." Carly said smugly.
"But it does affect her. In all the wrong ways. You see Jake, Elizabeth has known who you really are longer than I have. And Nikolas even longer than her." Hayden says.
The room is shocked but Jake just wants to know. "Who am I, Hayden?" he asks her.
"You're Jason Morgan. Sam's husband and Danny's father."
"What?" he is so shocked by what he thought he heard her say that it makes him think he heard her wrong. "You are Sam's husband, Jason Morgan. And Liz and Nikolas knew that you were. You see, after the truth came out at the Nurses Ball, I was wondering around wondering what I should do. Where should I go? Then I heard these voices that were familiar and followed them. It was Elizabeth and Nikolas. Apparently, it was right after Liz had run off the stage. I heard her say that she was not going to tell anyone the truth and she was finally going to have Jason for herself. I honestly don't know why Nikolas has been keeping the secret. I think is has something to do with him wanting to take over ELQ but I'm not sure. But the bottom line is that they did keep it from you. I am sorry that I lied to you about us being married but I swear that I am telling you all the truth." she said.
Jake could see it in her eyes that she was.
"Is this true?" Sam says, looking at both Nikolas and Liz. Liz gives herself away by not looking at Sam.
"You crazy bitch!" Carly yells as she charges for Liz. Sonny catches her and holds her off.
"Oh my God." Sam lets the tears that are in her eyes freely fall. "Why? Why would you do this to me and Danny? We are family, Nikolas!"
Nikolas is at a loss for words. For weeks now he has been worried that the truth would come out but he never prepared himself for Sam's reaction. "Sam, I am sorry but I did what I thought was best. You are happy with Patrick now. Look at the year before he died. He treated you as if you were responsible for your own rape! The night you decide to be a family and bring Danny home, he goes out to "work"? He never put you first and he would never have put Danny first either."
"Don't sit there and act like you didn't do this for your own selfish reasons." Sam spat at him. "You made the decision to keep my husband from me and our son because you knew that you would never get his and Danny's shares to take over ELQ. And you! You are actually so pathetic that you had to lie to get a man in your bed?" She directs herself to Liz.
As she says this no one notices Jake staggering back. He is suddenly hit with a flashback. "I found something with you I never found with anyone else. Home."
Liz glares at Sam. "Your damn right I did! I deserved to be with Jason. I waited forever for him and it is my time! You never deserved him. You are nothing but a con artist tramp who suckered Jason into loving you." Liz was so caught up in yelling at Sam that when she felt a hand grip her arm she realized that she was almost nose to nose with Sam. "Get the hell away from my daughter." Julian snarls. "If this were up to me you and the prince would be leaving this building in body bags. But it's not. So I would be very careful of what you say from here on out."
"Jake!" Sam yells. That is when everyone notices Jake hit the floor. The last thing he hears before passing out is Sam's sweet voice saying his name.
