Chapter 3 (Quartermaine Mansion)

The day after A.J.'s funeral, the next morning Alan wakes up from his bed waking up in the room his father A.J. stayed in with A.J.'s brother Alan's uncle Jason when they were boys before they headed to boarding school. As soon as Alan woke up he knew that he had to get ready to go to G.H. to do this DNA test to find out whether or not he was A.J.'s son as Alan then walks over to the window and when he does he notices something on the window that was never there before.

Alan then notices a photo of his father A.J. with another young man in the photograph and it was definitely clear to Alan that from the photograph that A.J. and this young man he was in the photo with was his father's brother. Alan then all of a sudden grabs the photo and heads downstairs into the living room and as soon as he does he runs into Tracy's son Ned.

Alan then says "I didn't think anyone would be here least of all you!" Ned then says "Alan before you leave and take off to go to the hospital I just thought that I would let you know that if you are A.J.'s son if you do turn out to be A.J.'s son then that means you are entitled to ELQ stock!"

Alan then says "I wasn't aware of that but I wonder what me having ELQ stock has anything to do with anything?" Ned then says "Well according to my grandfather Edward's will Edward being my grandfather he would be your great-grandfather if you do turn out to be A.J.'s son but anyways in my grandfather's will it states that any living grandchild is entitled to 12 percent of ELQ stock while any living great-grandchild is entitled to 6 percent of ELQ stock!"

Alan then says "Okay I still don't see where you're going with this?" Ned then says "It's simple really if you are A.J.'s son and if you have 6 percent of ELQ stock then it would be better for all concerned that you throw in your stock with my mother Tracy!"

Alan then says "Oh I see where this is going...your mother Tracy the woman who was oh so rude to me yesterday wants my ELQ stock for herself because she wants to stay on as CEO is that it?"

Ned then says "Now I know why you are so smart but as for my mother even through that rough exterior she has she really means well but it is just that she is usually like that to everyone including family but underneath it all my mother is as soft and kind-hearted as anyone especially if you are on her good side!"

Skye then comes into the living room and when she does she spots Ned trying to work Alan as she directly puts a stop to it by saying to Alan "Don't listen to him...because it is clear that Ned here doesn't have your best interests at heart!" Alan then says "Oh I figured that much Skye from the way he was trying to work me because my mother Nikki she taught me how to spot a con right from an early age!" Alan then says to Ned "Just for the record the next time you try to work me to your advantage...don't!"

Skye is then smiling in pride at Alan as Ned can't help but feel annoyed at what Skye just pulled as Alan then all of a sudden leaves the Quartermaine Mansion to head to G.H.

(General Hospital)

Alan then all of a sudden gets to G.H. and as soon as he does he walks up to the front desk and when he does he runs into Elizabeth at the front desk as he says "I'm sorry but is this GH?"

Elizabeth then says "Of course it is...it's written all over the building!" Alan then says "Of course but I guess I just wanted to make sure that I was in the right place!"

Elizabeth can't help but stare at this man who bears such a resemblance to A.J. as she says "I'm sorry but I couldn't help but stare...it's just that you remind me so much of someone!" Alan then says "Someone good I hope!" Elizabeth then says "Yes he was...but he was definitely a man who had his flaws that's for sure!" Alan then says "This man you say I remind you of...lemme guess it's A.J. Quartermaine isn't it?"

Elizabeth then says "Guilty as charged...you remind me so much of A.J. that I guess I could see the family resemblance!" Alan then says "I know I get that a lot...or I've been getting it a lot lately ever since I've come into town...that's why I'm here I guess you can say...I'm here to get a DNA test to find out if A.J. was my father!"

This shocks Elizabeth as she didn't even think that A.J. could have another child out there much less have another son as she says "Just how old are you?" Alan then says "27 years old so if A.J. is my father then yes he would have gotten with my mother when he was a teenager!"

Elizabeth then says "Well it begs the question then of just who your mother is?" Alan then says "My mother is Nikki Langton...yes she was one of A.J.'s exes in fact my mother almost married A.J. but she left him at the altar and why? Because my mother was paid off into doing so and my mother shortly left town after that but as soon as she did she found out that she was pregnant with me but she never told A.J. apparently but as for the reasons why...my mother still won't tell me why!"

Just when Elizabeth is about to say something more, Monica shows up and when she does she sees her potential grandson Alan talking to Elizabeth and when she does she says "Alan I see you've met Elizabeth!" Alan then says "Yes I have and it looks like I'm right on time for this DNA test so are we going to get on with it?"

Monica then leads Alan down to the room where he is going to get his DNA test and as soon as he does Brad takes his DNA sample and when he does he then says to Alan "Now that we have your sample...we'll compare it to another sample of that of a family member to see if there is a potential match since we obviously can't use A.J.'s sample since he's dead!"

Brad then says to Monica "Dr. Quartermaine I'll get back to you with the results for this DNA test immediately...if you need a rush on it then I'll have it for you within a few hours!"

Monica then says "Thank you Mr. Cooper and I trust that these DNA test results won't be tampered with or that there won't be any funny business within these labs?"

Brad then says "You have my word Dr. Quartermaine!" Alan then shakes hands with Brad saying "It was nice meeting you!" Brad then says "You too!"

Monica and Alan then leave the lab together and as soon as they do she then says "I'll get back to you with the results Alan and as soon as I do then we'll see just about you staying at the mansion permanently because I just know that in my heart of hearts you are my grandson!"

Alan then says "Well if I do turn out to be your grandson then I would love to know more about my father and oh that reminds me I wanted to ask you about this photo!" Alan pulls out a photo from his back pocket and when he does he shows it to Monica as she says "I remember this photo...exactly when it was taken and in the photo it is of A.J. and my other son Jason!"

Alan then says "Now it all makes sense considering that I found the picture this morning at the house and I figured I would ask you about it!"
