"Hi honey," Elizabeth's voice broke through the silence that Jason was so peacefully enjoying while he sipped his morning coffee. "You're up early. I didn't feel you get out of bed last night." "Yeah, I couldn't sleep, I ended up on the couch," Jason replied glancing up at her. "You didn't want to sleep with me?" Elizabeth said with anger and hurt apparent in her voice.

"Elizabeth I am still technically married. Now that I know I'm married I feel like I am cheating on my wife, even though I don't remember her. I can't tell you how sorry I am that you are caught in the middle of this and things didn't go as planned, but I really need you to just try and understand. Let me figure things out please," Jason pleaded with her.

"I am not going to let Sam take you away from me again. You are finally with the family you were always supposed to be with. I will show you that this is the life you were meant to have." Elizabeth snapped back at him. "I need to head to work. Can you please make sure the boys are ready for school on time? I'll see you tonight for dinner. I love you, Jason."

Jason stared at Elizabeth before saying, "Yeah, me too. See you later."

As he watched the door close behind Elizabeth Jason's instincts were begging him to let them out. He couldn't deny it any longer. Sam was right. Elizabeth was hiding something, and he needed to find out what it was.

Sam couldn't stop pacing. She had been waiting for this moment for almost Danny's entire life; he was finally going to get to meet his dad. Danny was a very resilient kid but Sam wasn't sure exactly how they were going to break the news to Danny that his daddy was actually alive. He was after all only three years old, and although Sam may have been a bit biased the kid was really sharp for his age. Finally after what seemed like hours there was a knock on the penthouse door.

Sam swung open the door and found Jason on the other side smiling at her. "Good morning Sam," Jason said as he reached his arm out towards her. "I got you coffee from Kelly's on my way here." "Thank you," Sam replied as she gratefully accepted the coffee. She had not slept very well at all last night and definitely needed the caffeine.

"What are we going to tell Danny? I have been telling him for three years now that his daddy is in heaven. You know what? It doesn't matter what we tell him. Danny is going to be so happy to finally have his dad back. Danny! Come down here. Someone wants to see you!" Sam yelled up the stairs.

A few seconds later Danny came barreling towards them and ran right into Sam's arms. "Who's here mommy?" Danny looked around and spotted Jason. "Hi Jake!" Danny said excitedly as he ran towards him. Sam cringed when she heard Danny call his father Jake. Danny had hung out with his father quite a few times over the past year, but never as Jason, always as Jake.

"Baby there's something we need to tell you. Can you sit down please?"

Danny sat on the couch with a look of utmost attentiveness on his face. He knew when his mom was being serious. Jason had to stifle a laugh. His son was seriously adorable and Jason already loved him more than anything.

"Remember how I told you Daddy is in heaven?"

"Yes mommy. You said he was there with my baby sister but he was always watching over me."

"That's right baby. Well it turns out mommy made a mistake, and Daddy isn't in heaven after all."

"Where is he then?" Danny asked confused.

"Actually buddy, I'm your daddy. My real name is Jason and I just found out I'm your daddy. How do you feel about that?"

Danny looked at both of his parents for a moment before a big smile spread across his face.

"Cool! Jake is actually my daddy! I have a daddy now like everyone else!" Danny jumped off of the couch and ran straight into his father's open arms. Sam couldn't stop the tears from falling as she finally saw the one thing she had always hoped for. Her son had his father back.

Jason couldn't believe how good it felt to hold Danny in his arms as his own son. There was so much that he had missed out on, and Jason wanted to make sure he wouldn't miss any more time with Danny.

"Daddy, you want to come see my big boy room?!" Danny asked excitedly. Jason felt tears prick his eyes at the word Daddy. It was amazing how a three year old was able to just accept the fact that his dad was here now.

"We just redid his room, he loves it," Sam whispered softly.

"Of course buddy. Lead the way!"

"This way daddy. Come on. I can show you all my cool Iron Man toys!"

"It looks like Danny found a new best friend," Sam smirked at Jason.

"That's perfectly fine with me, I wouldn't have it any other way." Jason replied back with a smile.

"Mommy missed you daddy." Jason stopped playing with the Captain America figure Danny had convinced him to play with and looked over at his son. "She used to cry about you when she talked about you. Sometimes I would get into bed with her at night to make her feel better because she told me I'm just like you! Mommy says I make everything better." With that being said Danny continued to fly Iron Man around his room, making all kinds of super hero noises.

Jason looked at his son and then thought of Sam. He had always known she was a great mother but he hadn't known that the whole time he had been in town she had been being a great mother to his son. It bothered him that Sam was so upset over him, and he vowed to figure out who tore their happy family apart.

A knock at the door caused Jason to reluctantly go downstairs as he heard a voice he knew was hear to cause trouble. "Where is my fiancé? He was supposed to meet me on my break for lunch."

"He's upstairs getting to know the son he didn't know he had Elizabeth. I think that's a little more important than your lunch break."

"But we were supposed to spend time together. Things have been so crazy since the wedding and I wanted Jason to know that I'm not going anywhere and I love him. Instead I find that you have roped him into babysitting your kid for the day so you can go out and do what you want."

"Excuse me Elizabeth, Jason is Danny's father! I think he has a right to know his son! You just got Jake back, how can you be so heartless? What is wrong with you Elizabeth? I thought we were actually making progress in our relationship, but you have just proved that you will never change. Danny and Jake are brothers, and nothing is going to change that. My son will know his father and his brother, whether you like it or not," Sam calmly but fiercely said to Elizabeth.

Jason had heard enough and came down the stairs with Danny in his arms. "Elizabeth what are you doing here? I told you I would see you for dinner later. You knew I was coming over here to get to know my son."

"Jake is your son too Jason. Why don't you spend time with him?"

"Yes Elizabeth we have gone over this. I know Jake is my son, and I have spent every day since he came home getting to know him. I barely know Danny, and I wanted to spend time with him. Why are you turning this into such a big deal?"

"I'm sorry Jason; you're right. I shouldn't have come over here. I'll see you later at home." With one more glance at Sam Elizabeth led herself out into the hallway. Sam slammed the door behind her and turned to look at Jason.

"I know you don't believe me but she is hiding something. She has never liked me, but she has never been this cruel."

Jason considered Sam for a moment before responding. "I think you may be on to something. She was acting really strange last night and this morning, and I want to know why."

"We will get to the bottom of this Jason, I promise."

Jason could see the sincerity in Sam's eyes, and he knew right in that moment that he would do anything to remember.

"I need to put Danny down for his nap, would you like to help?"

"Sure," Jason replied. "I don't want to miss out on any more moments like this."

With that Jason and Sam made their way to their son's room and tucked him in for his nap.

"I love you mommy, I love you daddy."

"I love you too baby, sweet dreams."

"I love you too buddy. I can't wait to play with you again."

"Daddy are going to be my daddy forever?"

"Of course buddy, I promise."

Jason looked down at his sleeping son and smiled. He finally was beginning to make sense of that fact that he was indeed Jason Morgan, and he was ready to reclaim himself as such.
