## Storylines

On March 15, 2016, Anna asks Griffin about his middle name "Fitzhugh". She says that Duke told her it is a Lavery family name. Griffin revealed to Anna that he's Duke's son. He never met his father and didn’t even know his name for most of his life. Griffin was raised by his mother, Margaret Munro, a deeply religious woman. When he asked her about Duke, she would get upset so he stopped asking.

After Margaret died, Griffin received a letter as in which she told him how she met Duke, fell in love with him, and became pregnant with his child but she wasn’t in a serious relationship. Duke moved to Port Charles before she had a chance to tell him she was pregnant. Once he was born, she came to town to tell Duke about his son but it was too late as Duke was in love with Anna. Margaret decided not to say anything.

Anna blames herself for Griffin not knowing his father. But Griffin says Anna and Duke had no idea he existed. Griffin is called to the hospital and Anna reads Margaret's letter to her young son that he accidentally left behind:

*"My darling Griffin, if you are reading this, it means that I have joined our heavenly father in his eternal kingdom. I'm finally at peace. But I'm afraid that you are not. You've always wanted to know who your father was, and now, as I am about to leave this world, it is finally time to tell you. Your father is a man named Duke Lavery. I met him when I was very young, and as young girls tend to do, I fell in love with him. But your father lived a life very different from the one that I envisioned for myself. He was always on the move, looking for the next big thing. Before I could tell him I was pregnant, he was gone. I had no idea where to look for him, and I wasn't sure I wanted to. But when you were born, that changed. You looked just like him with your dark hair and your piercing eyes. I realized that you had a right to know your father. I was finally able to track him down in Port Charles, New York. By then, Duke had fallen in love with another woman -- a woman with dark hair and eyes just as piercing as his. It was clear from the way Duke looked at her that he was madly in love. I knew instantly that I could never come between them, and I didn't want to. So I raised you alone. I hope you don't regret my decision. I don't. That woman may have had Duke's heart, but I had something of him, too. I had you, my beautiful boy -- a constant reminder of your father's quick wit and good soul. I missed your father every day, but having you here with me lessened that pain. I knew as long as I had you, I would never be alone."*

Anna returned the letter to Griffin at the hospital and he said that he hoped it helped her understand his mother. Anna said she saw a woman who loved her son very much. Margaret may not have given him his father but she gave him everything else.

On May 11, Margaret's name is revealed when Anna dreams that she is telling Duke he has a son.
