Author's Note: I do NOT own Royal Pains. I am just a fan. I also do not have a medical background, plus I really do not know much about venomous spiders, or if there are even any in the Hamptons...but, this IS fiction after all.

BTW, this is my first fanfic story so I'd appreciate reviews. If you'd rather not, I hope you enjoy it anyway.

Summary: The Lawson brothers are still in disagreement over Dr. Emily Peck. When Evan is bitten by a venomous spider, Hank cannot, or does not want to be reached. Evan whump. Set at the end of season 2.

"I'll see you in five then," Dr. Hank Lawson almost whispered to his phone, a smile on his face. As he turned around, Evan eyed him suspiciously and said "Going out with the enemy again, Henry?"

"It's pronounced E-MUH-LEE", Hank said, annoyance clearly evident in his voice. "Look Ev, I don't butt into your business with Paige so I wish you wouldn't butt into mine with Emily. She is not what you think she is. She is smart, funny and actually a good doctor. I think she is good for me, and for HankMed."

Evan was about to say something but Hank glared at him so he just kept quiet. What made matters worse was that Divya had actually endorsed Emily to take over her spot on the team. She did not say a word but gave Evan a smug look that made him shut up even more.

She gathered her things and wished all a happy weekend as she readied for a relaxing day at the spa. Hank grabbed his cellphone and said "Just call if there is an emergency. Otherwise, I'll be busy." Still not happy with Evan, he got up and left.

Evan sighed and sent a text to Paige, hoping he could pass the time with her. He hadn't seen her since their dinner and was wondering why she had not called or texted. As he waited for a response, he walked to the patio to bask in the sun. He was tinkering with some of the flowering plants when he felt a sting on his arm.

He saw a huge, hairy spider slowly crawl away as he grabbed his arm. He was alarmed by the incredible pain he felt on the bite site and fearing that the spider might be poisonous, he grabbed a nearby glass and put it on top of the spider.

He immediately got out a hanky and tied it above the bite site, then pulled out his phone to call Hank.

Hank frowned as he looked at the caller ID on his phone.

"Yeah Ev, did a patient call?"

Evan was in such pain that he could hardly get out the words. "uh, no but…"

Hank was a little concerned at the way Evan sounded but he figured that Evan was just trying to get him out of his date with Emily.

"Listen Ev, I had a tough week with the whole Dad and Boris fiasco. I think I am entitled to some R & R, don't you? "

Evan was in too much pain to even mutter a response and came out with a feeble "Sorry Hank but…"

"No buts, just please…please do not call again unless it's a matter of life or death!" And he promptly hung up.

Evan winced at Hank's words and considered what he said. Life or death. It was just a spider, after all. Even if it was big and looked kind of scary, he figured that maybe the bite was not too serious. It did hurt like hell though.

He tried to get up but a sudden bout of dizziness overcame him. He collapsed onto the ground, still grasping his arm which was quickly starting to burn. He started dialing again, trying Divya this time.

As Hank hung up the phone, he had a disgusted look on his face.

"What was that about?" Emily asked, as she caressed Hanks cheek.

"Oh, nothing. Evan is just sourgraping over our having fun while he is at home alone."

"He doesn't like me much, does he?"

Hank grabbed Emily by the waist and drew her near. He blew into her ear and said "Nah, he's just jealous that I get to hug a pretty li'l thing like you."

They started to kiss when Hank's phone rang again. Hank didn't even bother to look at the caller ID and yelled into the phone "Evan, I told you, unless it's…"

"So he's pestered you too." It was Divya. She went on to say that Evan had called her and that she blew him off saying it was her day off and she had no plans of scheming with him against Emily.

"Aha! So he WAS planning on doing that! What exactly did he say?" Hank asked, furious.

"Well, he didn't really say anything because as soon as I heard his voice, I immediately gave him a piece of my mind, ruining my spa day like that." Divya said.

Hank thanked her and apologized for his brother's disturbance.

Having been unsuccessful with Divya too, Evan didn't know what else to do. He was rapidly becoming weaker and was still on the ground on the patio. He looked at the spider in the glass and started talking to it.

"You're not poisonous, are you? How could such a tiny, ugly creature bring about so much pain, you little…" Suddenly, Evan let out a gasp and clutched his stomach in agony.

"What the…", he thought as he rolled from side to side. It was like blades were going through his insides. He could not understand it. He had been bitten on the arm. Why was his stomach burning? He was in such anguish that he just had to call Hank again. He knew Hank would come to the rescue if he found out that he was suffering. Thank God Hank was on speed dial.

When Hank's phone rang again, he was in the kitchen getting drinks for himself and Emily. Emily saw that it was Evan and answered it. She didn't really give him a chance to say anything though and just said curtly, "Hi Evan. It's Emily. Hank is not available at the moment, and won't be for awhile so I suggest you stop bothering us now and just wait for him to go home…tomorrow." With that, she hung up with a smirk.

Hank came in with two ice cold drinks and said, "He finally got tired of calling?" Emily just smiled and pulled Hank towards her as they got down on the couch.

Evan writhed in pain, beads of sweat on his forehead. He could not even hang on to his phone any longer.

"Hank, where are you when I need you?"

That's it...my first chapter of my first fanfic. Please...if you can...R & R.
