A/N: Thanks for reading!

Zipping through the streets of Port Charles Alexis hoped that no cop was hiding out in the bushes. She could see the headline now, "DA pulled over for speeding to ex-mobsters bedside". Oh the irony of it all…for someone who devoted their life to upholding the law, she had a certain knack for being drawn to those who were committed to breaking them. She had never expected Sonny to become what he was to her…or with Jason. He had come into her life when she needed him the most…being a part of the cement that stuck everything together…and slowly he had crept into her heart filling up the empty spaces left by the people who had been taken from her already. Now he was lying in a hospital bed and the fear of what she was feeling was overshadowed by the fear of never seeing his face again.

OoO

His eyelids felt heavy, his body throbbed with pain. Vaguely he could hear the whispers in the background and despite the pounding behind his eyes he tried to focus on the noises until the words started to form out of babbles.

"Valkyrie, the Jackal urges you to rethink your orders for him. When Stone Cold wake up you can discuss it with him"

"Spinelli, I am going to go easy on you because I know how loyal you are to Jason…but he is my best friend, and he is lying there because of that stupid thing…so this needs to be done!"

He could hear him let out a defeated sigh and he attempted to wet his parched lips and try to speak. All that came out was a semi strangled moan.

As soon as his eyes flickered open she was hovering over him, "You're okay" she said happily before continuing, "Don't you ever do that again Jason Morgan, do you know how scared I was?" she questioned.

When the next attempt to speak elicited the same response she grabbed the cup of water next to his bed, "Take a drink" she told him putting the straw to his lips, "Spinelli, go get a doctor" she ordered.

The water slid down his throat, wetting his lips when he stopped she pulled the cup away, "Better?" she asked.

Looking at her, "What are you trying to make Spinelli do?" he asked.

A familiar look flashed across her face and it told him that she was thinking a way to cover whatever it is she was really doing.

Turning his attention to across the room he looked at the young man who had walked in with Patrick Drake, "Spinelli?" he questioned.

"The Jackal um…is very happy that Stone Cold Sir is awake and well…he and the Valkyrie were…"

Carly sighed, "I was having Spinelli put your motorcycle up on eBay" she admitted

"What?"

Scowling Carly looked at him, "What? You could have died! Do you know how bad your injuries could have been Jason…we could have lost you, what would I have done then?" she said getting teary, "What were you doing out so late and going so fast anyway?"

Alexis

He had been trying to get her out of his head…trying to will his mind out of thinking about her…worrying about her…caring.

Instead of saying that he looked up at her, "Carly"

Touching his face she sighed, "Fine, but if you ever scare me again like that, I am going to kill you myself" she said before kissing his cheek.

Patrick stood there awkwardly and Carly smiled at him, "You're turn" she teased tears still in her eyes.

It made him feel bad for worrying her…he hated doing that; letting people down…but it seemed as if he had grown accustomed to it now.

OoO

She made it to the hospital in record time…and then sat in her car thinking about how ridiculous she felt, but all she could do was picture him lying in a hospital bed and it was enough to make her want to crawl out of her own skin. Even if she didn't want to admit it…Jason meant something to her.

After chewing on her lip and arguing the points in her head she got out of the car…logical or not she wouldn't be able to focus on anything until she made sure he was going to be okay…she wouldn't even let herself think anything else.

OoO

When Patrick finished his exam he watched Spinelli shuffle around a bit, "Stone Cold, Sir"

"I'm okay Spinelli" he told him.

The younger man nodded, "I should call the Maximista and tell her the joyous news" he said smiling.

Walking out he heard Spinelli exclaim, "Goddess Mother!"

OoO

All she had planned to do was peak in, ask a nurse how he was, and then go home…and then Spinelli almost ran into her and she couldn't think of an excuse not to go in and face those crystal blue eyes.

"Jason" she greeted.

Spinelli excused himself and she was at a lose for words and staring at her with that bandage on his forehead was unnerving more then imagining herself naked in front of a jury of her peers.

"What are you doing here?"

It was a question she couldn't even really begin to answer…so instead she walked up towards the bed, "I heard about the accident and I wanted to make sure you were okay…so now that I see you are, I will just be going"

There were so many words written in between the lines but instead of speaking them she grazed her hand against his and he grabbed hold of her fingers between his.

"Alexis"

Blowing a piece of bang out face she looked at him, "What? What do you want me to say, that when I heard you were hurt it scared me? All I could think of was that I didn't want to lose you too…because you are important to me Jason, you matter to me" she said her voice caught in her throat.

There was a gasp at the door and Carly stood there with her hand over her mouth, "Um"

Pulling her hand out of his Alexis looked from the blond in the doorway to the one in the bed, "I should go" she said before pushing past Carly on her way out.

Arching her eyebrow at him Carly wandered towards the bed, "What in the hell was that? You and Alexis, please Jason, tell me that somehow I inhaled something in the air and totally imagined all that?"

"Carly" he started.

Her face contorted, "Oh my God, it's not one sided, you've got a thing for Alexis Davis"
