When Jason got the call that Elizabeth was being held at the PCPD; he didn't know what to think when it came to her anymore really. Still she was the mother of his kids who he loved more than words could say. For his kids Jason went down to the station to find out what was going on for their sake alone. Entering the station, it was Dante who approached him.
"Sorry about this... Hayden is saying Nikolas had her shot because she was going to tell you the truth... That you're Jason Morgan. She is also saying that Elizabeth knew about it all this time," Dante whispered almost.
"Patrick has DNA proof I'm Jason Morgan, and Elizabeth lied to me for about three years," Jason answered his unspoken question.
"Man, I'm sorry... Probably shouldn't ask this, but do you want to see her," Dante asked eyeing the man before him.
Jason took a minute thinking it over before nodding slightly. With that Dante led him to the interrogation room opening the door.
"Jakeson!" Elizabeth lit up; shackled to the table as her husband came in the room.
"My name is Jason not Jakeson," Jason told her as Dante closed the door.
She shook her head in defiance of what she heard.
"You don't remember that life. You know me and our kids. Our family needs you," Elizabeth pleaded with him.
"Why are you here?" Jason asked ignoring her plea.
"Hayden told them that I knew what Nikolas did," Elizabeth answered him.
"Did you?"
He wondered if it would really surprise him if she had known. Her eyes never looked his way like she was trying to form an answer.
"Answer me!" Jason demanded forcefully.
"Yes, months later, after," Elizabeth finally answered him.
Sighing Jason didn't know what to do now...
"If they can prove... You're going to jail," Jason tried to control his anger.
"Ask Sonny to," Elizabeth started to say.
"I barely speak to him! You kept the person he looked to as a brother from him. Do you really think Sonny will lift a finger to help you?" Jason turned away from Elizabeth.
"The kids need me and we both need you. You'll forgive me; I know you will," Elizabeth started to get choked up.
Slowly turning to face her Jason looked at the show she was putting on.
"There is no us. Our marriage is invalid because I'm married to Sam," Jason said not mincing his words
"Don't say that," Elizabeth begged him.
"There are five kids whose lives; you turned upside down! Do you even care? Maybe you can live a lie but I can't. Cam is so upset," Jason sighed at the end.
"You told Cam?" Elizabeth questioned Jason.
"Lying is your MO not mine. Plus I wanted him to hear the truth from me," Jason told her.
"We'll talk him through this when I'm out. It'll be alright," Elizabeth replied delusional.
"There is no us," Jason shook his head before turning to leave.
"Don't leave me! You love me! This is wrong," Elizabeth shouted as he walked out on her.
Dante started to approach him again, but Jason shook his head not ready to talk yet. Now he had to tell the kids the truth to the best of his ability.

Back at his suite Jason waited for Carly to get back with the kids. More than anything he wanted Sam here when he told Danny what was going on. He thought about not telling Danny until Sam got back, but he knew that he couldn't chance him finding out some other way. When he heard the elevators open; Jason watched all his kids pile off with Sam trailing behind with Bailey on her hip.
"Mommy is back!" Danny smiled ear to ear as he ran up to Jason.
"I see that," Jason scooped up his son.
"Carly said you needed backup. That it was all true," Sam told him being supportive.
"Alright, we need to talk guys," Jason said as they all gathered around the couch.
"When are we going home?" Aiden asked eyeing his dad.
"Well I need to tell you something, and we'll talk about that later, okay," Jason reason with his son; as he pulled out the test handing it to Sam.
"Okay," Aiden agreed with him.
Slowly taking a deep breath Jason eyed Sam for a moment.
"I found out who I was before I got hurt," Jason started out slowly.
"Who?" Jake asked bluntly.
"My name is Jason Morgan," Jason told them.
"That's my daddy's name," Danny tugged on Jason's shirt.
"Remember how I told you Jakeson got hurt really bad and couldn't remember," Sam asked her son.
"Yeah," Danny nodded his head.
"Since he was hurt so bad; we didn't know that he was your daddy," Sam explained to him.
"So he didn't go to heaven," Danny asked eyeing his mom.
"No, he's right here," Sam smiled at her baby boy.
"We're brothers and sister," Danny asked looking to his dad.
"That's right," Jason agreed with him.
"I'm glad," Aiden smiled ear to ear.
"Jake," Jason questioned as he saw his son's wheels turning.
"You're divorcing mom... She knew? Didn't she? It's why were not at the house," Jake asked him directly.
"It's my fault," Danny asked before Jason could speak up.
"None of this is any of your guys fault. Everything is complicated right now because of that I need my own place for us. Mommy is going to stay at her house, and I'll find me a new house to stay in. This is something I'll explain a lot over time, but some of it will have to wait until you're older," Jason tried to calm Jake and Danny down.
"Will I have a room," Danny asked his dad.
"You might share a room with Aiden," Jason mused aloud.
"Cool!" Danny grinned ear to ear.
"We'll get you some stuff to keep at your dad's, so you'll always have clothes and toys when you go," Sam smiled at Danny.
"I still get to go to Danny's, don't I?" Aiden asked because he loved going to Danny's.
"Sure, you do," Sam laughed lightly.
"You know Dr Q. who is Danny's grandma?" Jason asked Aiden.
"Yeah, she's really nice," Aiden nodded his head.
"Well she's my mommy and your grandma too," Jason told Aiden.
"Cool! A new brother and grandma in the same day," Aiden replied excited.
"Come on, time for us all to get ready for supper," Cam spoke up as he got Bailey, and ushered the other kids out of the room.

Jason sat there with Sam next to him on the couch now. This woman at one time was his wife and his life. Over the years he had heard of the great love that Jason and Sam had, but he had never thought he would have that kind of love in his life. Yet now he knew that he had once had the love that stories were made of. He had seen Sam struggle to make a life for her and Danny after her break up with Patrick.
"This is awkward," Sam spoke up first.
"Yeah, it is..." Jason agreed with her.
"Let's take this one step at a time. We're friends and Danny's parents first," Sam said; as she knew life had taken them in different directions.
Slowly taking a breath Jason nodded in agreement with her.
"Friends,"
Jason held out his hand for hers.
"Best friends," Sam agreed with him as she took his hand.
"First, I need to find a place for me and the kids," Jason sighed as he figured a stable environment would go far with a judge.
"What about the place next door to me? At least until you find a house you like," Sam suggested knowing there was enough room.
"Doesn't that belong to Sonny?" Jason questioned her.
"Actually Sonny put it in trust for Danny along with a trust fund. He wanted Danny to be okay no matter what, and know that he had a home to come back to. It's got three bedrooms upstairs, and one bedroom downstairs. One of the bedrooms upstairs has a den connected to it, so you could use it as a nursery for Bailey. Cam is old enough to stay in the downstairs bedroom. Danny and Aiden can share a room. That will leave Jake with his own room. Plus I'm next door which is a built in support system. The kids can really bond and spend a lot of time together," Sam laid it out for him.
What she was say made plenty of sense to him... Still he wasn't sure about asking Sonny for anything.
"I don't know," Jason replied a little reluctant.
"I'm the only one you have to deal with. I'm over Danny's trust until he turns twenty-five years old," Sam pulled out her keys and took the key off her key ring.
"Let me at least pay rent," Jason said wanting to pay his way.
"I'm putting it into a fund for the kids college then cause I don't need the money," Sam told him honestly.
"As long as you take it," Jason shrugged a little.
"You can move in tomorrow. Morgan's old crib is still in there, so you can use it for Bailey. I'll order some Chinese for supper, and then you are going to see my mother," Sam told him as he took the key.
"I'll get Cam to watch Aiden, Jake, and Bailey for me. You've got to be ready to get home with Danny," Jason said as he let go of Sam.
"If you're sure... I'd be happy to take Aiden and Jake with me. Plus my trip was really boring," Sam told him honestly.
"Please!" Aiden came in the room followed by Danny and Jake.

In the end Jason agreed to let Sam take the younger boys, and Carly ended up with Bailey while Cam went to Emma's to hang out. Sam had set him up with an appointment with Alexis like she had promised. When he got to Alexis's home which Julian had built her as a wedding gift; he was met by Alexis who opened the door letting him into her home. Entering the house Jason saw photos of Danny and Sam scattered about.
"Please have a seat," Alexis closed the door.
"Thanks for meeting me... I know it's late," Jason apologized to her.
"Sam said it was really important," Alexis shook her head as Jason took a seat on the couch.
"Yeah, you could say that. I guess I should show you this first," Jason pulled out the test handing it to Alexis.
Jason watched as Alexis opened the paper reading it carefully. He could see the shock as she realized who he was.
"Wow," Alexis whispered slightly.
"There's more... Elizabeth has known for years," Jason told her.
"I'm sure I can get your marriage to Elizabeth annulled if you want," Alexis told him.
"I want custody of my kids with her," Jason told her honestly.
"Jake... Jason," Alexis corrected herself.
"Look, right now she is in lockup for being an accessory to attempted murder of Hayden Barnes. She risked everything to protect Nikolas and herself for years. She had me adopt my own child. Now I'm questioning everything in the last three years. How can I trust her to be a partner in raising my children if I don't trust her. More than likely if she stays out of jail she could get visitation. Still I need to protect them. Cameron is very upset that his family is falling apart. I'm trying to get him to think this through cause he might want a relationship with her later on. I want my kids to have their mom, but I still want them to be safe and healthy first," Jason speaking open and honestly.
"Alright, you need to get a home asap... A judge is less likely to take children from an environment where they are thriving," Alexis relented as she saw Jason was doing his best for his kids.
"Sam is going to rent me the penthouse next to her until I find a house I like in the future. I'm insisting on paying rent. We move in tomorrow," Jason replied calmly.
"Make sure Elizabeth is kept informed of every move you make with the kids; as where they are living. I'll file for you to be declared alive... Then file for temporary custody; which I should get with her in being held by the PCPD. She might get visitation if released on bail," Alexis explained things to Jason.
"As long as my kids are okay; I'll do what I have to do," Jason replied as he'd do anything for his kids.
"Getting custody will be an uphill battle... I won't lie to you. Your past will be brought up, and you need to be prepared for it. This will get dirty," Alexis warned him softly.
"I hear you," Jason replied with a sigh.
