Before Sam woke up Jason headed out needing to be alone while they waited for answers about Nelle and who she was. When Jason called Monica told him there was a Bone Marrow drive going on, and Carly had all of her and Sonny's. employees signed up to be tested to be donors. His mom had promised him results as soon as she could get them. In the end he had ended up at a place that held so many memories. It had surprised Jason that Mac had been willing to sell the Floating Rib to him. The first thing Jason had did was change the name back to Jake's. Walking into the currently closed establishment; Jason went strait to the pool table. With a shake to his hand Jason placed his hand on the table; then feeling a hand on his shoulder Jason turn to look. There stood Carly from about twenty years or so ago.

"I failed you and Michael," Jason told her as he took her hand from his shoulder.

"Come on, Jas... Neither of us knew then," Young Carly shook her head as she went and pulled her self up on the pool table to sit down.

"I was suppose to protect you and two babies not one," Jason shook his head.

"Michael was so sick, and you were not told about her. How could of you known? Even Bobbi didn't know, and she was there in the room. I was such a mess I wasn't any help, and I was swimming in all the lies to keep me with my baby," Young Carly reasoned as she patted the space next to her.

Not sure what was going on Jason took a seat up on the pool table.

"I should of done more," Jason sighed feeling like he failed her and Michael both.

"That is bull and you know it. You went above and beyond for me and Michael. When everyone was trying to take my baby from me; you stepped up to do whatever it took to stop them. Plus I didn't make things easier," Young Carly laid her head on Jason's shoulder.

"I'm kind of surprised that she's right under your nose, and you can't see she's your clone at that age," Jason admitted as he kissed the top of Carly's head.

"Maybe I'm too happy to notice right now," Young Carly suggested softly.

"I've never seen you happier right now," Jason agreed with her.

For a while they just sat there just being there together.

"Hey, I saw the lights on when I drove past," came a voice making Jason look towards the doorway, and then look back to see the younger Carly had vanished into thin air.

Across the way stood his best friend all grown up.

"Want to play around, Carly," Jason asked as she took off her jacket placing on a near by table.

"It's your quarter," Carly smirked knowing she'd lose.

"How about I do you one better," Jason asked hopping down and placing a five down instead.

"It's been a long time since we played for quarters," Carly smirked as she pulled out a five placing it down too.

Suddenly Jason's phone rang making him pull out his cell.

With a kiss to the cheek Jason had ran out on his game with Carly to meet Sam and Monica at the hospital. Carly had asked him as he left what was going on, but he couldn't tell her until he knew for himself first. The whole way to GH Jason wondered how things might have been different if he had known. Yet he shook the thought from his mind as he pulled into the GH parking lot, and killed the engine before exiting his car. Quickly Jason made his way to his mother's office finding her and Sam already there.

"Please sit down," Monica requested as Jason closed the door locking behind him to prevent interruptions.

"Alright," Jason agreed as he took a seat along with Sam in front of his mother.

"I don't know how, but Nelle is Carly's daughter and Michael's full sister. Both tests are conclusive," Monica told them as she picked up the papers holding it out to Jason.

Gently taking the paper Jason looked it over again and again. He wasn't surprised and he was at the same time. Now he had to break this to Carly. They had all been through a lot, and now he was going to send their world spinning on it's axes again.

"Is there any ideal how this happened," Jason finally spoke up after a long time.

"I'm looking into seeing if I can find any answers after all this time," Monica told him honestly.

"I have to tell Carly first before we tell Nelle," Jason told Monica and Sam.

"I need to tell Elizabeth just not the details," Sam promised as she reached out taking him by the hand.

"She'll figure it out once it gets out, but I think that will be okay for right now," Jason nodded slightly.

"I'm going to give you two a few minutes alone," Monica went to excuse herself.

"Mom, thank you," Jason said causing Monica to pause at the door.

"I think I'll always get more than you know from that small acknowledgment," Monica whispered almost before leaving her son and Sam alone.

"You just made her day," Sam told Jason softly.

"I'm not sure what I'm about to do to Carly's day. Who knows what's going to happen when Nelle finds out," Jason sighed as he knew that this was a lot for him.

"Find out where Carly is, and go from there with what to do," Sam replied as she knew he was worried.

Pulling out his cell Jason called Carly's number, and waited for her to answer on the other end.

"Calling to apologize for running out on our game," Carly asked jokingly on the other end.

"Where are you?" Jason asked her bluntly.

"At Jake's about to leave, why?" Carly asked him knowing something was up.

"Just wait for me there, promise," Jason asked her.

"I promise I'm staying put," Carly agreed without thinking about it.

"I love you," Jason said as Sam came over and wrapped her arms around him.

"I love you too, Jas," Carly smiled as she spoke before he hung up.

Outside of Elizabeth's Sam knew that this was going to be a lot even with not all the details. She was still reeling from the emotional overload of everything. Walking toward the front door Sam saw the door opening as Elizabeth came out onto the porch to meet her. Sam could see the worry in Elizabeth's eyes; as she came up onto the porch to tell Elizabeth what she found out.

"Well?" Elizabeth asked surprised Sam was already back.

"Let's go inside," Sam requested motioning to the still open door.

"Okay," Elizabeth sighed as they headed inside and she closed the door behind them.

Then they went over to the couch taking a seat by each other.

"You were right," Sam started slowly.

"Right," Elizabeth stammered questioningly.

"Right now, I don't know why the kidnapping wasn't reported, but I know for certain there was a kidnapping at the time you remember. They were fraternal twins, and the parents never knew there were two," Sam reached out taking Elizabeth by the hand.

"Did you find her?" Elizabeth asked about the baby.

"I can't tell you who, but I found her family and her. She'll be reunited with them soon," Sam told Elizabeth softly.

"At the end of the dreams I could hear her asking "Find me," every time," Elizabeth teared up as she felt relief for the first time in a long time.

"We may never know why because all this time has passed. Monica is looking into any info she can find to get answers," Sam explained what she knew.

"I should of spoke up sooner," Elizabeth frowned feeling guilty.

"No baby was reported kidnapped, and it might of still went no where in the end. If the pieces hadn't fell together I would of came up empty handed too," Sam shook her head slightly.

Elizabeth couldn't completely accept what Sam was saying. There was a chance that she could of change everything for this family.

"I'll never know if I could of changed everything," Elizabeth sighed knowing Sam was being too kind.

"I better get going," Sam let go of Elizabeth.

"You've done so much for me, but could I bother you for one last favor. Jake has lunch with a parent today; I'm suppose to go eat with him. Could you go in my place? I need time to sit with this," Elizabeth asked Sam knowing she didn't have the right to ask.

"If you're sure about it?" Sam questioned her as she got up.

"I don't want Jake asking questions right now," Elizabeth shook her head slightly.

"I'd love to have lunch with Jake, thanks," Sam nodded slightly.

With that Elizabeth watched as Sam went to the door. When Sam opened the door Lucky was coming home.

"She's going to need you,"

Lucky looked to Elizabeth who got up, and went closing the space between them.

"You look like you got ran over," Lucky tried to lighten the mood as he wrapped his arms around her.

"Just be here with me for a while," Elizabeth whispered softly as she laid her head against his chest.

Carly knew something was up when Jason asked her to stay put. It felt like she was waiting for something to drop on her head. Then when she looked up to see him come in the room; his eyes told her something was really wrong. She knew Jason better than most people did any day of the week without trying.

"What's wrong," Carly questioned as Jason came taking her by the hand leading her to a booth sitting her down.

"I got something to tell you, and I wish I had more answers to give you," Jason whispered almost.

"Jas, you're scaring me," Carly replied as she looked at him.

"I need to take you back to the night Michael was born," Jason started off slowly.

"You're not going to tell me that Michael isn't mine," Carly questioned him.

"No, he's your son..." Jason shook his head.

"Thank God," Carly sighed relieved.

"Carly, you didn't just have Michael that night. When Michael was born he wasn't alone," Jason explained to Carly.

"What?" Carly eyed Jason confused.

"You gave birth to Michael and his sister. Somehow she was taken from us at birth," Jason replied as he reached out taking Carly by the hand.

"I have a daughter? Where? How?" Carly stammered as her head was spinning.

"Elizabeth was having memories, and Sam investigated from what little she had to go on. I was also investigating who Nelle was at the time. Both came together... I had a DNA test ran on Nelle. She is Michael's full sister; they both have the same parents," Jason told her knowing this was a lot to handle.

"Sonny said you thought she looked just like me, but we both just shook it off not really considering it. She's my daughter... Our daughter," Carly whispered as she spoke in awe.

"I'm sorry I couldn't protect her or you," Jason apologized as he looked to Carly.

"Hey, look here! You did everything you could, and I didn't even know she was missing. Back then I messed up a whole hell of a lot. You were my knight in shining armor, and even you couldn't stop me from a lot of what I did. Nelle's parents who raised her have both past one when she was a small child and one as a teen. We are going to give this girl the family she should have had from the beginning. You and Sam brought her back to me," Carly got up pulled Jason out of the booth wrapping her arms around him.

"Anything you want to tell me?" Jason asked Carly as he had a gut feeling.

"I was going to wait until it was official in a few weeks, but I'm legally adopting Avery as my forever daughter," Carly smiled ear to ear happy to tell him.

"Ava?" Jason questioned her.

"Let's say I took a page out of yours and Sonny's playbook; just had to layout some info for Ava to consider to make the right choice," Carly smirked as she spoke of outwitting her enemy.

"Good for you," Jason said with a smile.

"Let's go home, and tell Nelle the truth," Carly said as she led Jason out of Jake's.
