A/N: Thank you to notenoughlove, Teresa Rountree, trini12180, bjq, WretchedHandsSJS, guest, guest, arcoiris0502, starhine, and starlight guardian for kindly leaving feedback. It's greatly appreciated. I had a good laugh at a lot of your responses regarding how you'd like to see Elizabeth get payback on Sam. It will come. I just hope I did it justice in the chapter.
Title: Rewrite the Stars
Chapter 36
(Spinelli arrives at Jason's penthouse. He has his backpack with him and embraces Jason)
Spinelli: (smiles) "I was humbled to get your call earlier, Stonecold. I'm always happy to be of service."
(Spinelli sees Elizabeth and offers a grin)
Spinelli: "Hello, Elizabeth. It's always a pleasure to see the Maternal One."
(Spinelli immediately shows sadness and briefly looks down, causing Elizabeth to grow concerned)
Liz: "What is it, Spinelli? What's wrong?"
(Spinelli fidgets nervously as he spoke)
Spinelli: "I-I just feel I should apologize for the way Sam was towards you and treated you over the years."
(Elizabeth surprises Spinelli by embracing him before her face turns serious)
Liz: "I want to make something clear, Spinelli. You have NOTHING to apologize for. Sam made her bed, now she can lie in it."
Spinelli: "I honestly thought Sam was a good person. I was truly wrong."
Liz: (grins & shrugs) "We're all human. We all make mistakes."
Jason: (nods) "I'm glad it all worked out. Spinelli, I have a job for you to do."
Spinelli: (happily) "Nothing would give me greater pleasure then to help you and the Maternal One out. I brought my laptop as requested. Just let me know what you need me to do."
(Spinelli takes his laptop out of his backpack, sits down on the couch, and rests his laptop on his lap. After getting the laptop ready to go, he faces Jason and Elizabeth)
Spinelli: "Anytime you're ready, Stonecold."
(Jason walks by Spinelli and Elizabeth sits down next to Spinelli)
Jason: "I want you to go into the General Hospital database and see if what Franco and Sam said was true. That Danny is NOT my biological son."
(Spinelli faces his friend in confusion)
Spinelli: "Was there a DNA test done?"
Jason: "There must've been one done. As not only did Sam confirm it, but Monica had proof, as well. However, after you let me know what you find, I will be having my own DNA test done just to make sure."
Spinelli: (nods) "That is a smart idea."
Liz: (raises her eyebrows) "We'll make sure it's from a private lab because who knows who's trustworthy at GH. We will also be having DNA tests done on all three boys due to what Sam said before and what happened in the past."
(Spinelli can't help but smile as he spoke)
Spinelli: "I'm hoping and praying that all three of your sons will be Jason's. Obviously, we want to make sure Jake is Jason's, too."
Jason: (nods) "We're hoping for that, too."
(Jason and Elizabeth brief Spinelli on why Cameron and Aiden may be Jason's, causing Spinelli to get excited. Afterwards, Spinelli hacks into the GH database and sees the DNA results that Brad Cooper ran for Sam. He could see it, plain as day, that Brad Cooper's name was the technician who ran the test. Spinelli couldn't help but grow a bit sad)
Liz: "Spinelli, do you see the results?"
Spinelli: (sighs sadly) "Unfortunately, I can, Miss Elizabeth."
(Jason and Elizabeth face each other before Jason speaks)
Jason: "Spinelli, what do the results say?"
Spinelli: (sighs) "My apologizes, Stonecold, but I'm also surprised."
Jason: (a bit confused) "How come?"
Spinelli: "According to the test results…according to what I'm-I'm looking at here…my friend, not only are you NOT the biological father, but…Franco Baldwin IS the biological father."
(Elizabeth and Jason look at each other in amazement! How the hell was this possible? Jason asks to sit next to Spinelli)
Jason: "Can I see the results, Spinelli?"
(Spinelli puts the laptop on Jason's thighs and explains the results to him. Jason shakes his head in anger. Now, he knew who else Sam slept with. Jason didn't understand why Sam would sleep with Franco considering his history)
Jason: "It's time to talk to Sam and get to the bottom of things."
Liz: "Jason, that might not be the best idea because what Spinelli did just now was illegal. I would NEVER report Spinelli, but none of us can technically report Sam until you get the DNA test proving you're not the father of Danny." (smirks) "We can give a copy of the recording to Diane to use against Sam in court when it's time."
(Jason smiles and points at his girl)
Jason: "Good job, detective."
(Spinelli high-fives Elizabeth. All three agree that Sam's time will come to face the music)
(Meanwhile, Sam bumps into Delores at Kelly's. Delores notices Jason is not with Sam)
Sam: (spits) "Because of you, Jason broke up with me. So, you can leave me the hell alone."
Delores: (sighs deeply) "Jason did it for your own good. By the way, your parole is almost up. Choose your actions wisely."
(After Delores is out of Kelly's and out of earshot, Sam shakes her head and speaks in a hateful tone)
Sam: "Bitch."
(Franco, who is still living at his dad's, faces Scott as they're sitting on the couch together)
Franco: "I will need a lawyer as Elizabeth is filing for divorce."
Scott: (nods) "I kind of expected that. How do you feel about Elizabeth filing for divorce?"
Franco: "I'm sad about it, but it was inevitable." (sighs sadly) "I guess nothing lasts forever."
Scott: (shrugs) "That's too bad. I liked having her as a daughter-in-law."
