Chapter 13: Jealous much?

General Hospital:

"What?" Lulu strained to look at the monitor when back at Dr. Lee. "Can that be true?"

"That could be a possibility," Dr. Lee said. "When was the last time you two had relations?"

"A few days before she was taken," Johnny answered, smiling the memory.

"How many? Two? Three? You need to think, Johnny because it is important."

"Two days, why?"

"If it were two days and if she was injected with the drug on the plane ride….semen can live in the body a few days after," Dr. Lee explained.

"So I am the father of one of the babies."

"We need to have an amniocentesis to be sure. Johnny I need a sample of your DNA, your hair should be fine. So we can be sure about the paternity about baby number one. We need to have a sample of… a family member to test the other baby."

"I'll get something from Nikolas," Johnny stated. "When can the test be performed?"

"Lulu is not that far along to have one. She needs to have it between the fifteenth and the eighteenth week. You have a little of a week left until I can perform the test. Don't worry Lulu there is a less than one-percent risk to the fetuses."

"Okay, we'll have a week. By then hopefully we can have something to test the other baby with," Lulu said.

Dr. Lee reached for tissues to clean Lulu's stomach. Johnny took the tissues and wiped Lulu's stomach. She was touched by his kindness. "We'll make an appointment to see you in a week then."

"Okay. Lulu, change and I'll have a nurse waiting outside to make your appointment. Let's give her some time to change and we'll be right outside."

Johnny didn't want to leave Lulu's side for a second. Changing back into her street clothes shouldn't take that long. He relented and went out in the hall with Dr. Lee. As he did, he saw Matt Hunter at the nurse's station. Jealously ate away at him, he had to know why Matt was here.

"Hunter," Johnny greeted. "Why are you here?"

"I work at GH. Why wouldn't I be here?"

Johnny pointed to the door behind. "It's not a coincidence that Lulu is behind that door, is it?"

Matt acted like he was surprised. "Lulu Spencer is in there? Good to know."

"I want you to stay away from her," Johnny growled.

"Just because you are a hired gun to keep her safe doesn't mean she wants to rekindle anything with you," Matt shot back.

Johnny grabbed Matt by the lapels of his white lab coat. "I want you to stay away from her. I don't care if you are one of her doctors or not. Find somebody else to take your place on her case. In fact I want you to get out of the way when you see her. Cross the street if you have to. "

"Shouldn't that be Lulu's decision, not yours?" Matt retorted.

"It's a good thing that we are in the hospital then."

"Johnny! What the hell?"

Lulu exited her room. "Let go of Matt!"

Jonny released him, Matt stumbled to the floor. To his dismay Lulu went over to Matt to make sure he was unharmed. "What happened? Are you okay?" she asked, helping him to his feet.

"He's fine," Johnny answered."I didn't touch him."

"I didn't ask you, I asked Matt." Lulu turned to Matt. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Your hired muscle got a little overprotective seeing me out here."

"Why? You work here, your one of my doctors."

"Try explaining that to him." Matt pointed to Johnny.

"Get the car. I'll be here," Lulu said.

"Tyler has the car. I'll call him. We'll go downstairs to meet him."

"Get the car," Lulu repeated. "Or I am going to walk home; Sonny is really going to love that."

"Lulu, I'm not going to leave you here alone."

"I'm not alone. I'm with Matt. And I still need to make the appointment with Dr. Lee. I'll be fine."

"Lulu," Johnny tried again.

"Okay, fine have it your way." Lulu headed to the stairs.

"Okay, okay. You win. I'll get the car. Matt, stay with her. If anything happens to her while I'm gone…"

"Got it."

Lulu watched as Johnny took the stairs down to the ground floor. "So you told him what happened, I take it." Matt said.

"I had to. Sonny has him living with me at his old penthouse. He was bound to find out sooner than later."

Matt laughed. "Sounds like something Sonny would do."

Matt lead Lulu over to a small bank of chairs and sat down. "So tell me, what happened in the room?"

"Apparently, there is a possibility of Johnny being the father of one of the babies. We won't know for sure until I have an amniocentesis. I have to get some of my brother's DNA to test the other baby."

"Wow."

"Exactly, wow." Lulu leaned back in the chair. "Are you going to tell me what the heck I walked in on? I doubt I'll get a straight answer from Johnny."

"He's jealous."

"Of what? We are just friends."

"He thinks otherwise."

"I've what been back the total of three days? I spent the night in the hospital; the other two were with my new roomie in the next room. When was it that we were supposed to hook up?"

Matt laughed. "Well, if you put it that way, he's being paranoid."

Dr. Lee approached them. "Lulu, I made you an appointment a week from today at one in the afternoon." She handed Lulu a card with the appointment time written on it. "I'll see you then."

"Thanks."

Dr. Lee walked away.

"He still cares about you, you know that right?" Matt stated. "That show he put on should show you how much. He wants to make up for what he did to you."

"You never told me why you were on this floor."

"I'm a-"

"Neurosurgeon. This is the OB/GYN floor. Unless you changed you specialty you came here to see me."

"I saw you and Johnny sneak through the back. I wanted to make sure you were alright."

"Thank you, Matt. For the only one that is not treating me like I'm made from glass, something that is easily broken."

Somewhere in the World:

Faison handed Helena a small electronic devise. "What is the hell is this, Faison?"

"It's a little something that I came up with to help us find Lesley Lu and get back what we worked for so hard for."

Helena turned it on. On the small screen a bright red light blinked. "Oh, this is excellent."

"I thought you'd say that."

Penthouse:

Lulu walked into the penthouse, almost closing the door in Johnny's face. He caught it following her inside.

"Lu, I understand that you are upset-."

"Upset? Matt was just a concerned friend! There was no need for you to try to beat him up for being there!" Lulu sat on the sofa.

"Trust me; he is more than a concerned friend thing going."

Lulu laughed. "Yea, right."

"Lu." He sat on the coffee table directly across from her so she had no choice but look at him. "I didn't work so hard into trying to get you back just to lose you to another guy."

Outside the Penthouse:

Tyler reached for his phone, making sure he was alone before he dialed. "It's me. No. I can't. She hasn't been alone for a second since she been back. It's going to take some more time."
