Okay I have no idea where this came from. But this is what happens when I get stuck in a car for hours on end. This is going to be short (about five parts) and is mostly finished so updates should be constant. This takes place some time after the new year. Nikolas and Elizabeth spent part of that night together. Hopefully everything will be explained as I go. If not feel free to ask questions.

Accidental Truths
Chapter One
Steven Webber stared helplessly at the paper in front of him. He could not believe this was happening. Liz, his baby sister, was fighting for her life. The car accident -- at least that is what he hoped it was-- had shocked him. When he returned to Port Charles Steven could tell Liz was drowning. He had hoped that she would confide in him. And she had to a point.
After her mistake at General Hospital Elizabeth admitted that she was cheating on Lucky. Not only was she cheating but Elizabeth was cheating with Nikolas, Lucky's brother. Initially Steven had been shocked not about the cheating. Frankly, he never truly forgave Lucky for hurting his baby sister. No what shocked him was Nikolas. As far as he knew, the two friends had never crossed this line before.
Elizabeth was torn up with guilt and confusion. Unfortunately for her Steven was not much help. All he could was urge Elizabeth to tell the truth. It had not helped much. Even Rebecca Shaw leaving town had not taken the pressure off. And now this. Neither the accident nor the note surprised him. It was their possible connection that had concerned.
"Are you going to sign the consent forms or not?" Patrick snapped impatiently. He and Steven Webber had clashed since the moment they met. The feeling was only magnified by the current situation.
Without looking up Steven hurriedly signed the form and handed back to Patrick. He was not in the mood to fight with the hotheaded surgeon. While he did not like the idea of Elizabeth needing surgery, at least Patrick was the best. "Here."
Looking at the other man Patrick struggled to remember that Steven was Elizabeth's brother. "Look I know we don't get along but Elizabeth is my friend. I will do everything..."
"I'm counting on it." Steven interrupted not wanting Patrick to focus on anything but Elizabeth.

"Spencer get your ass in here." Mac shouted from his office doorway. He almost couldn't believe what Lucky was doing this time. Almost. The boy was more like his old man than Lucky would ever willing admit to.
Lucky encountered the office cautiously and closed the door. He had a good idea why Mac had summoned him into the office. "You wanted something Mac?"
"Tell me I didn't just see you and Dante talking?" the older man asked even though he knew the answer. He should have kept Lucky off the force when he
"It's not a big deal."
"Are you trying to get him killed?" he demanded to know trying in vain to control his temper. The last thing Mac wanted or needed was to blow Dante's cover.
"It's not like that." Lucky said pleading his case. He had just stumbled across a major case and there was no way he was giving it up. "We were trying to figure out this case."
"At the risk of blowing his cover! I don't care what you two think you r doing I want these meetings stopped." Lucky started to protest but the phone rang. "Hello? What? When? How serious? Thank you," Mac said quietly hanging up the phone. "Lucky I don't know how to say this but it's Elizabeth. She was in a car accident."
"What? Is she okay?" he asked the case immediately forgotten.
"All I know is that she's still unconscious. The EMTs brought her to GH."
"What about the boys?" he asked forcing himself to remain seated.
"It doesn't appear that they were in the car," Mac told the younger man knowing he would take some comfort in the fact. The one good think he could say about Lucky was that the guy was a good father.
"Good. Whose working the scene?"
"Harper. And don't you think about interfering either."
Lucky held up his hands in mock surrender. "I wouldn't dream of it," he promised although they both knew he didn't mean it.
"I meant it. If you even think about touching this case I'll have your badge permanently."
"Got it Commissioner. May I go now? Elizabeth needs me."
"Fine" he consented but stopped Lucky before he could leave. "but we're not through talking."
"I understand." Lucky promised as he rushed from the room. Date and Franco were the furthest things from hid mind.

"Crap." Robin mumbled aloud to an empty lab. She was double-checking Elizabeth's blood work herself. She knew Steven would want to hold off on surgery as long as possible. However, that was no longer an option.
By the time Robin reached Elizabeth's room, it was nearly full. It was always like this one of the staff was brought in. At least she didn't have to hunt down her husband. "We need to talk," she said dragging Patrick out into the hall. "I have the tests results."
"I take it they aren't good," he asked already knowing the answer. It was one of the many reasons he and Robin worked so well together.
"Depends on your point of view. Here."
He quickly looked over the results unable to suppress a sigh. "You know this is the last thing we need."
"Do you think she's stable enough for survey?"
"She has to be. I can't stay let her stay on those drugs."
Robin nodded in agreement. She knew what her husband's decision would be as soon as she saw the labs. "I'll talk to Steven while you get her prepped."
