Nurses Ball 2015:
5/5/2015
Hayden is outed as a fraud by Carly. Ric is the one who hired her. Ric wanted Elizabeth for himself. Elizabeth slaps Ric. She tells Nikolas she can finally be with Jake since he's not married. Nikolas confesses that Jake is Jason Morgan. Elizabeth nearly tells everyone but keeps quiet.
Elizabeth is reeling from shock at what Nikolas told her. He said Helena was to blame. "Jake, aka Jason," and Elizabeth returned home. What if Elizabeth told Jason the truth.?
Jason follows Elizabeth inside. He pulls her into a kiss. "Elizabeth, I owe Carly a huge thank you. I've wanted to be with you before Ric brought Hayden to Port Charles. Elizabeth wipes tears from her face. "Elizabeth, what's wrong? I thought you would be happy Hayden is gone."
Elizabeth sniffs, "I am; however, Nikolas told me some news that would change your life."
"Can it wait until tomorrow?"
Elizbeth smiles sadly and says, "I wish it could wait. Nikolas told me he knows your true identity. He said Helena told him. Even if you don't remember, there is a way to verify. Are you ready for the truth?"
"Who does Nikolas think I am?"
"Jason Morgan."
"What? No, that's impossible."
"I felt a connection to you. I was falling in love with Jake Doe, but if you are Jason, you are still married to Sam and a father to Danny."
"Fuck! Are you sure Helena was telling the truth?"
"If you were to strip to your boxers, I can check areas where you have scars from bullets. You've been shot several times, but I treated three wounds and witnessed others." Jason strips, and Elizabeth checks his side from where he was shot in 1999. She draws a sharp breath. He has a scar on his shoulder from 2005. She looks at his legs, and there is a scar from when he was shot in 2007 and one from his thigh when Ewen Kenan shot him in 2012. Elizabeth cries. She puts her hand to her mouth. "Oh, My God!"
"Jake" pulls over his shirt and holds Elizabeth. He has no memories of Jason, but Elizabeth is obviously upset. He's heard a lot about Jason and seen pictures. "I'm Jason Morgan?"
Elizabeth sobs, "Yes. I'm happy you are alive, but…"
"But I'm married?"
"Yes, and it's not to me. And you are not the cheating type."
"Elizabeth, are you sure?"
"Yes, Nikolas told me Helena told him, and she's the one who ordered the chip in your brain. I've seen your scars; you are the same height, build, hair, and eye color. Also, you have the same blood type. Helena may have altered your DNA, or they never checked it."
Jason pulls Elizabeth to him and lets her cry. "I don't feel married, and I don't remember Sam. I like her kid; I guess he's my kid, too, but I don't feel anything toward her. Isn't she with that surgeon who operated on me?"
"Patrick, yes, but you also have a close bond with Carly, like the old Jason."
"But Sonny Corothinos hates me. He sent someone to kill me."
"Sonny doesn't like it when he is not in control or feels threatened. I'm sorry, but you've killed too. When you tell him who you are, he will welcome you back with open arms and insist you become his enforcer again."
"But I don't want that. I don't know everything he's done, but how he's treated me has been combative. How many have I killed?"
"Jason, You are in information overload. I will keep this secret if you are not ready to tell people. I'll give you online access to anything and everything about Jason Morgan and even the history of Sonny. I can tell you everything about your sister, Emily. She was my best friend. Tonight, you should sleep on it. Tomorrow, find your answers. I can ask Nikolas to come over and tell you what he knows.
"How many?"
Elizabeth drops her head and softly says, "I don't know. You've been with Sonny for at least two years before we met. You've never been convicted but have been charged several times. The times I'm aware of were in self-defense or the defense of others. You saved me many times."
Jason kisses Elizabeth; she pulls away. "Elizabeth…"
"Jason, please don't do this. You don't know how badly I want this, but I promised myself I wouldn't do this again. I've kept things from you in the past and lied to others. I want this and you, but I want it when you remember who you are and choose who you want."
Jason holds her and kisses her forehead. "You are right. I need to know more about who I am. If you point me to the links and if you have hard copies, I want to see them. I want to know about Emily."
Elizabeth sighs. "Of course." She hands him her laptop and writes a list of places to check. "I'll get you pictures and articles tomorrow. Jason, umm, Jake, I am so very sorry you had to find out this way."
5/6-5/25/2015
("Jake" and Jason will be used interchangeably depending on his interaction. By the end of the year, everyone will know he is Jason and will be referred that way). Parts of the story are altered and changed for s/l reasons.
Jason starts the coffee after studying his file all night. Elizabeth walks downstairs. "How long have you been up?"
"All night. I haven't slept. I've been reading a lot about me."
"Any bells rung?"
"Not yet. I would like you to tell me about Emily."
Elizabeth smiles, hands him a scrapbook, and pours herself a cup. This is everything you would want to know about Emily, and hopefully, you'll learn more about me. My childhood and Emily's childhood are in there. Lucky and Nikolas are also in the scrapbook."
"Thank you; I would love to know more about my sister."
"I'll answer what I can, and Nikolas will be here tomorrow. You can ask him all the questions you want."
Elizabeth hears a horn honk, and Cam and Aiden run into the house from spending the night at Grams after the Nurse's Ball.
Cam asks Jake, "What happened to Hayden? Are you staying here now?"
Jake says, "Carly Corthinos Jacks proved Hayden was not my wife. She was a fraud. Do you know what fraud means means?
Elizabeth says, "It means she was lying. Ric paid her to pretend to be his wife because he wanted me back."
Cam and Aiden hug their mother. "We are sorry mommy. We are sorry Ric hurt you and Jake."
Jake says, "I'm sorry too, buddy."
"Jake" gets a job working for ELQ.
Nikolas answers Jason's questions.
After a week of research and interviews with Elizabeth and Nikolas, sly questions to the Quartermaines and Carly, Jason slowly remembers events from his life.
Michael tells Jake that Nikolas Cassidine is after ELQ. Jason confronts Nikolas and says, "I won't allow you to go after the Quartermaines like that."
"You haven't wanted anything to do with your family in decades. Why do you care about a company that doesn't care about you?"
"Emily would be ashamed of what you are doing. It turns out the Quartermaines don't care that I have no memories. They aren't forcing Jake to be anything. Maybe now that the Old Man is gone, things will be different. You aren't taking ELQ."
"I can always tell them you are Jason. How will your friends and family feel about your lying?"
"Three words, 'friends and family'. You aren't either. I've known for a week. You have known for months and allowed Helena to wreak havoc. Friends and family are more likely to forgive."
"What about Sam? She's my family and your wife. How do you think she will feel?"
"Yes, Sam will be hurt, but that is more on you. I may have most of my memories back, but my feelings for Sam haven't returned. I don't want the truth out yet, but I'm prepared to let that happen if you continue your pursuit of ELQ."
Nikolas raises his hands in defeat. "You win. Shades of the true Jason Morgan are rearing their ugly head." Nikolas drops his attempt to take over ELQ.
May 30-July 1/2015
Hayden finds Jake and tells him she knows who he is. "I found out that bitch Elizabeth and her ex-brother-in-law have been lying to you. I know your real identity."
"I know who I am, and I don't appreciate you calling Elizabeth names."
"Don't be fooled by the sweet nurse act. I may have pretended to be your wife, but she takes lying to a whole new level. You are Jason Morgan, and she's known for weeks."
Jason has an impassive face. "And? What do you plan to do about it?"
"I could tell the Quartermaines, Jason's best friend Carly, or your wife unless you want to pay me to leave town."
"Hayden, I don't know who I am; I don't have any money."
"Then, your wife it is."
"I think it's a bad idea."
"Are you threatening me?"
"No, you are a nuisance I wish I never met, but I'm not going to risk going to prison over getting rid of you. Tell Sam, don't tell Sam, I won't be a party to blackmail."
That evening, Jason tells Elizabeth that Hayden threatened to tell Sam. Elizabeth sighs, "We knew this day would come. Do you remember Sam?"
"Not everything. I remember how I felt when I found out about Jake and what she did, not once but twice. I don't understand how I could love someone who did those things."
"It took me a long time to forgive her myself. I lost myself after you chose Sam, and when Jake died, I took it out on you. You chose Sam. I made poor choices and did things I'm not proud of before we thought you died. I won't do that again, and I won't beg."
"Elizabeth, I know what I want. Perhaps I should begin telling people before Hayden does."
"You will need to tell Sam before you tell Carly. She deserves that much."
Jason kisses Elizabeth. "I'll see Sam tomorrow. Wait for me."
"Always."
Jason meets Sam at Xtreme Motors. Jake had been working for Kyle Sloane undercover to take down Jullian Jerome. When Elizabeth told him he was Jason, he told Sloane last week that he couldn't work undercover and inform on Jullian. Jake finds Sam at the repair shop. Jake is about to tell Sam he is Jason when Hayden storms in. Hayden is surprised he is there. Hayden says, "I know Jake's true identity."
Sam says, "You have the nerve to enter my father's business and approach a man you claimed was your husband. Why would he believe anything you say?"
"I'd say that Ja…" A shot rings out, and Hayden is hit in the head. Sam tends to Hayden while Jake calls 911. Sam and Jake ride in the ambulance with Hayden. Patrick and Elizabeth wait for its arrival. Elizabeth catches Jason's eye as they wheel Hayden into surgery. He shakes his head no. Elizabeth exits the OR under Patrick's orders. Patrick is concerned if something were to go wrong in surgery, Elizabeth might be blamed after the way Hayden disrupted Jake and her life. Elizabeth checks on patients while Jake waits with Sam.
Meanwhile, Carlos Rivera exits his hiding place after shooting Hayden. He drives to his meeting place, where a man in the shadows asks, "Is it done? Is Jake Doe dead?"
"I tried taking the shot, but a woman got in the way."
Jullian Jerome throws Carlos against the wall. Did you shoot my daughter?"
"It was a brunette; she's petite and has light brown hair."
Jullian breathes a sigh of relief. Carlos could have shot his daughter. "Who else was there? Couldn't you have gotten another shot to kill Jake?"
Another woman was there, petite, with dark brown/black hair. Everyone dropped to the floor after I shot the light brown-haired chick."
"You moron! First, you could have killed my daughter, and second, you shot an innocent woman. Jullian shoots and kills Carlos. He gets one of his guards to dispose of the body.
Patrick exits with the news that Hayden didn't survive the surgery. Jason holds off telling Sam the truth.
7/6-30/2015
Lucky tells Luke and Laura that Jake is alive. Helena faked his death and has him on Cassidine Island. The trio flies to Greece and rescues Elizabeth's son. Lucky brings Jake home to Elizabeth. Lucky rings the bell, and Elizabeth opens the door. "Lucky, when did you get to Port Charles? Does Nikolas know you are here?"
"No, Mom, Dad, and I came straight from the airport. I didn't want to say anything until we knew for certain."
"What is it?"
Laura brings Jake from the shadows. Elizabeth exclaims, "Oh my god!" She kneels and holds her son. "Lucky, how is this possible?"
Jason is in the kitchen with Cam and Aiden when he hears Elizabeth. He says, "Elizabeth, who is at the door?" He walks toward the door, "Oh my god!"
Cam and Aiden come from the kitchen, and Cam yells, "Jakey! Jakey, you came back from heaven!"
Aiden calls, "Daddy!" Lucky scoops Aiden in his arms. Cam hugs and holds his little brother. "Dad, Jakey has the same name as mom's new friend, "Jake."
Lucky says, "Hi, I'm Lucky Spencer, Elizabeth's ex-husband. Your name is Jake?"
Jason clears his throat. "Yes, I don't know my last name. I have memory problems. It's nice to meet you."
Laura says, "Elizabeth, it's good to see you. I'll let Lucky explain." Elizabeth hugs her goodbye.
Lucky says, "Could I speak privately, Elizabeth?"
Jake says, "I can take the boys upstairs."
Elizabeth doesn't want to let go of Jake, but she needs answers. She kisses her son and whispers to Jason, "Make sure he is okay. I'll get answers from Lucky."
Jason hears the front door close and walks downstairs. "The boys are in their rooms. How is our eight-year-old son alive?"
Elizabeth explains that Helena kidnapped Jake and faked his death. "He's been on Cassidine Island in Greece. I swear to god that if Helena did anything to Jake what she did to Lucky in 1999/2000, I'll kill her myself."
"You should get Jake checked out. Elizabeth, I checked. Jake has both his kidneys."
"Whose kidneys did Joss get?"
"I don't know, but I'm going to find out.
"Jason, I want to focus on Jake. I must take him to GH tomorrow and ask Patrick to examine him. I also want him to get therapy and check for brainwashing. Helena fucked with Lucky for over a year. I want to ensure she didn't do that with Jake."
Jason pulls Elizabeth into a kiss. "Elizabeth, I was planning on telling Sam tomorrow, but the focus needs to be on Jake. I don't want to disrupt his return. I think Carly should know Joss got someone else's kidneys, and I want to tell her Jake is alive before she hears it from others."
"I think Carly deserves to know. When do you want to tell Sam and everyone else?"
"Next week. I don't want to postpone it any longer. You said you didn't want to beg and wanted to wait, but my feelings haven't changed. Sam is with Patrick and, oh no!"
"Oh no, what?"
"Elizabeth, I just got a memory flash. Robin helped me escape. We were traveling to Port Charles before my accident. She never made it back."
"Patrick told me they divorced because she had PTSD or something and wouldn't return. If she was grabbed again, it means it was against her will. There is no way Robin would be willing to stay away from her family. Jason, you need to tell Sam, and if you'd like, I'll tell Patrick. Robin is out there; if she is being threatened, she must come home."
Elizabeth calls Patrick and tells him about Jake. Patrick tells her to bring Jake to GH in the morning. Jason calls Sam and asks her to meet him at GH in the morning. Jason takes Sam to a conference room and tells her everything. He says he was going to tell her two weeks ago, but Hayden was shot and killed. "Jake returned, and I was going to wait until the news died down about him, but we think something happened to Robin, and she may be kept against her will. Elizabeth is telling Patrick now."
Crying, Sam says, "How long did Elizabeth know before she told you, and why didn't you say something earlier?"
"Elizabeth found out after the Nurse's Ball, and she told me later that night. She didn't keep it from me. I didn't remember who I was for weeks and didn't want anyone to know until I remembered. I spent hours online reading articles, and Elizabeth provided me with information on Emily. I remember almost everything, Sam. You deserve to know, but my feelings are for Elizabeth, not you."
"How did she sway you? What did she do to convince you to lie to me again this time? How long did it take before she got you into bed?"
"Elizabeth didn't make me do anything. I couldn't remember. Part of me didn't want to remember. I hated reading all the things written about me and reading about my court trials. I wasn't ready to tell anyone. Elizabeth said when I was ready, you should be the first person I tell. Nothing has happened; I haven't slept with her yet. Elizabeth wanted me to resolve my feelings for you first. I want to meet Danny again. We can review the legalities later, but I need to see Jake's results."
Patrick examines Jake. Jake has a toy motorcycle to play with, and Patrick takes Elizabeth outside the room. He doesn't understand how he and Robin might have operated on another kid. Elizabeth says, "Helena and Faison did it to Lucky, Faison and Jerry did it to Robin, and now Helena has done it to Jake and Jason. All their deaths were faked."
"Jason?"
"Yes, Jake Doe is Jason Morgan. Faison 'shot' Jason, and everyone thought he was dead. Victor Cassidine forced Robin to revive his family in exchange for Jason. Jason and Robin escaped, and Jason was hit by a car and ended up with plastic surgery. His memories slowly returned, and he wasn't ready to tell anyone until Lucky brought Jake home from Helena. Jason got a memory flash of Robin last night. Patrick, I don't think Robin left you for the reasons she stated. I think she is being held against her will."
Patrick is angry, "How long have you known about Jason?"
"Since the Nurse's Ball. I told Jason the same night. He wasn't ready to tell anyone until he started to remember. We didn't know what Robin did. I thought she left you. After Jason's memory flash, I don't believe she willingly left you."
Patrick slumps to a seat. "Emma has been wanting to see Robin. They Skype weekly. Do you think Victor and Helena still have her?"
I don't know about Victor, but Lucky said he saw Helena with Jake before they rescued him. She didn't mention Robin. The last time Robin was gone, who had her?"
"Jerry and Faison. Do you think Jerry is involved?"
"He is obsessed with her and has manipulated her in the past. My god, Patrick, he shot her. Robin helped develop an antidote for Nikolas. Jerry faked her death and forced her to cure his pollinium poisoning. It's not a stretch to think he's using her for something else."
Jason has been listening to the conversation and walks over. "Patrick, I told Sam. She may need your support, but I will help you find Robin if you want. I'm sorry, but I didn't remember until last night."
Patrick is still in shock, "Elizabeth thinks Jerry is involved. I don't want Emma to know until I have proof. I must call Robert and Anna."
Jason asks, "I missed hearing about Jake. How is he?"
"Physically, he's fine. He appears happy and well-adjusted. Elizabeth wants Jake to see Kevin Collins."
Elizabeth says, "I'm hoping Jake is fine, but Helena had him for four years. I want every test possible, including a brain scan for certain chip implants."
Jason says, "Thank you. I have a few other people to tell, but I want to help with Robin."
Patrick makes a few calls and goes to find Sam.
Elizabeth schedules an appointment with Kevin, and they return home. Jason tells Elizabeth about his visit with Sam and says he's ready to move forward. Laura is with Cameron and Aiden. Elizabeth sends the boys upstairs. Jason and Elizabeth confess to Laura that Jason is Jake Doe.
Laura says, "Nikolas told Luke, Lucky, and me this morning. Lucky left town two hours ago."
Elizabeth says, "I'm sorry, Laura; I should have told you about Jason."
"You don't need to apologize. My son does. Nikolas knows what he did was wrong. He knew better than to trust Helena. If Nikolas had spoken up earlier, Jason's chip may have been removed, and we could have gotten Jake back months ago. Jake may not be my grandson by blood, but I consider him part of my family."
Elizabeth says, "Laura, my children think of you as Grandma. Monica soon will, too." Laura leaves.
Jason says, "I'm going to tell Carly. I want her to know about Joss, and we will track down where that kidney came from. She will be thrilled to know I am Jason."
"But not so thrilled about me."
Jason laughs, "No, probably not. I would love to tell the boys about me tonight. We can have a private celebration after they are in bed. Sam knows my choice. No more waiting." Jason kisses Elizabeth and promises to be home soon.
Jake tells Carly about Jake, and it wasn't Jake's kidneys that saved Joss. Carly is happy that Jason and Elizabeth's son is alive but sad that Jason died thinking Luke killed his son." '
Jason says, "Carly, I remember who I am. Not only did Jason's son return from the dead, but so did I. "I'm Jason."
"What?"
Jason summarizes what happened to him and how Robin tried saving him but is probably back with her captors. "Helena held me, and I escaped. Helena had my son for four years. I hope the same thing didn't happen what happened with me."
Carly says, "When did you find out?"
"After the Nurse's Ball, but I decided to wait. I would have waited another two weeks, but Jake came back. I wanted you to know about the kidney, and Elizabeth and I wanted to tell Patrick about Robin."
"I thought I was helping Jake and Elizabeth, not Jason and Elizabeth. You should be with Sam. Patrick will choose Robin, and you will choose Sam."
"Carly, you never cease to amaze me. I stopped listening to you long before I died and returned. I've already chosen Elizabeth. If you change your feelings about Elizabeth, I'll reconsider our friendship." Jason leaves.
Jason picks up dinner from the Italian restaurant Beradino's. He calls Monica to arrange a meeting in the morning. Jason and Elizabeth tell Cameron, Jake, and Aiden that he is Jason Morgan and Jake's biological father. The boys embrace him. After dessert and helping the boys get ready for bed, Jason helps with the dishes. "Sam knows, Carly knows, tomorrow Monica and Sonny will know. "I think we've waited long enough." Jason kisses her neck and ears and turns Elizabeth to face him. He kisses her, and his tongue searches hers. Elizabeth holds out her hand, and he follows her to bed. Elizabeth unbuttons his shirt, and Jason unzips her dress.
Elizabeth has her head on Jason's chest. "Would you like to move your things into our room?"
"Yes, I would."
Jason and Elizabeth take Jake to the Quartermaines, and Jason tells Monica he is Jason and Jake is alive. Elizabeth apologizes for not being open to letting Monica know about Jake, but she wants to make amends. She wants Monica to know her grandson. Monica is happy Jason is alive and thankful to know Jake. Jason drives to ELQ and tells Michael the truth that he is Jason. Michael asks Jason to stay on with ELQ if he wants. Jason says he will think about it.
Jason meets Sonny at Pozzulo's. He reveals that he remembers who he is. "Sonny, I remember who I am. I am Jason. Faison faked my death, and Helena implanted a chip in my brain and put me in a cryogenic state. Victor Cassidine forced Robin to revive his other relatives, also in a cryogenic state. Eventually, I was brought out of cryogenics. Robin and I escaped and made our way here. I was hit by a car and turned into this handsome face. Robin was probably recaptured, and if Patrick asks, I'll help get her back."
Sonny is happy that Jake Doe is Jason and wants to discuss having him work for him again. Jason says, "Michael wants me to continue working for ELQ. Much of what I'm doing isn't that much different business-wise, minus the killing. Sonny, you tried to have me killed because you didn't like my friendship with Carly and because I was a threat to your business. You hated me as Jake Doe but will embrace me as Jason Morgan. I'm the same person I was six months ago, only now I have my memories back. I can't trust you and don't like what you do for a living."
"Is this because of Elizabeth? She can't live in your world. She doesn't belong."
"Sonny, I didn't want to be a part of your world before I knew who I was, and I still don't. Elizabeth is who I want to be with. If you force me to choose, you won't like it." Jason leaves.
