Morgan sat worried in his mother's hospital room. His head in his hands, he still couldn't block out the reality. His mother had just been shot. She was laying unconscious in a hospital bed right there next to him.

He had gotten the call from his brother. He couldn't believe Michael at first, not wanting to. But once it sunk in the denial became worry. He didn't know details and that scared him as well, making his fear worse. She could have been dead by the time he got there for all he knew.

He figured that Sonny would be there. Him and Carly had started things up again so the chances were good. He had no clue that Ava would have been there. Ava and Carly couldn't stand each other, and now she's the one who was with her when it happened. He was surprised but glad she didn't leave her to die.

Maybe Ava did it for him, he thinks but then thinks again. Ava had chosen Sonny over him so maybe she did it for him. Maybe even if she claims she doesn't like Sonny in that way she does and he was worried vise versa as well. Things were great with his mom and dad but so were things with him and Sonny when he screwed Morgan's girlfriend.

All this thinking made him wonder what they were doing right now. He lifts his head up and pans the room. Morgan doesn't see either of the two, just Kiki and Morgan on the other side of the room and Carly laying in front of him.

He figured if neither were here they were together. This made Morgan more uneasy than he was before. He felt like he had to find them or his head would explode with all the unanswered questions.

He get's up slowly although he wants to find them quickly. He makes his way to the door when Kiki spots him making a leave.

"Morgan!" She calls to get his attention. Michael looks up and notices Morgan is standing by the door as Morgan turns to face the couple. "Where are you going?"

Morgan knows they are confused as Carly was just shot but they couldn't understand how he felt when it came to Ava, and or Sonny right now. Them being together, alone, just wasn't okay even if it was harmless.

"I'm just gonna walk around the hospital, I need some time." Morgan lied hoping that would be a good enough excuse for the two. When they both nod he takes his exit and heads down the hall searching for his ex lover and horrible father.

He was scared that he'd find them and he wouldn't like what he would see but he felt the need to even if it hurt him. Yes Ava still hurt him, even if he was mad at her, disgusted with her and her filthy choice of sex in the Quartermaine crypt with Sonny.

He figured he would check back where they must have left them, at the elevators, a weird place to stand for a long time but he figured he'd check. Low and behold they were both there, still.

It was fairly innocent, they were just standing by each other talking. But his hand was on her shoulder and Morgan likes to assume things and take them too far.

"Uh, hello!" Morgan called out at them walking up to them noticing Morgan had came back. They couldn't tell if he was pissed or not but chances were he'd have a reason to be, even if it was an unreasonable one.

"Morgan? I thought you were with Carly." Sonny said to his youngest son who had ventured out of the room for some reason.

"Is it Carly? Is-She's still okay right?" Ava said worried thinking Morgan had come to tell them something, but she didn't know why Morgan would come at all. She figured the last thing he would want is to even look at her.

"She's fine, but how would you two know that? You've been out here the whole time when mom's just been shot!" Morgan argued trying to call them out on their absence and alleged lack of concern.

"We know that Morgan, for god sakes Ava was there, she was-" Sonny stopped himself from telling the already angered Morgan with the truth of his mother's shooting. He still wanted to know more himself about the Luke aspect and such and telling Morgan right now wasn't good for him or Ava or the baby.

Ava takes a deep breath remembering she was there. Right there, in the path of the bullet before she was pushed out of the way. She still cannot believe that Carly did it, from the second it happened she couldn't. Also because Sonny didn't go on to say she had been the one with the target on her, not his beloved mother.

"Yeah and she didn't do anything to stop it." Morgan said crossing his arms. At this point he just wanted an argument and a chance to blame Ava. Honestly she had done everything she could have and he was thankful, but he wouldn't tell her that.

"Morgan!" Sonny projected at his son. "Ava is at no fault for your mother getting shot, I know you're mad at her but this is ridiculous, she saved your mother, if she hadn't called she could have died!"

"Well I'm surprised Ava didn't leave her there to die, that way you could have another reason to hook up, at mom's funeral, only this time there'd be no crypt, but whores like you can do it anywhere, right?" Morgan said bringing his anger back to that one night.

Ava just looked at him with her mouth open in shock and disgust that he would say that to her. She did absolutely everything she could to not cry but, it was getting very hard to not. She felt like this was a sign he really wouldn't want this kid and that hurt her a lot.

"Morgan!" Sonny said again louder and more angry at him. Sonny knew Morgan wasn't over this but he had no reason to blame Ava for this especially not knowing it was meant for her.

Morgan and Sonny just stood there for a while just glaring at each other as Ava started to feel sick. She had been getting sick later in the day than morning even though it's called 'morning sickness'. Now was the usual time it happened and it happened to be an awful time.

"Oh god." Ava moaned. "I'm gonna be sick." She ran off leaving the two men behind watching her go.

Sonny figured it was from the pregnancy and not anything to do with Morgan being so awful to her, but that didn't mean it was going to slide.

"What is going on with you Morgan!?" Sonny scolded Morgan, trying to make him realize how big of an ass he was being.

"No, I wanna know what's going! With Mom, the shooting, answers I want them, I deserve them!" Morgan yelled back standing up for himself.

Sonny took a deep sigh and looked at Morgan and just said, "Okay." Ava was gone, and maybe he would be able to cool down by the time she would be back, answers needed to be answered and with the only other three people who have them vomiting, unconscious, and on the run. He was left to tell the horrible story.
