" I can get you're discharge papers all set up. Johnny, I trust that you're going to make sure she stays off her feet for a couple of days?" Matt scribbles a few notes on his clipboard, before giving Johnny a knowing look.
"Of course." Johnny nodded, which is when Lulu knew that Johnny would insist on waiting hand and foot on her because that's just the kind of man Johnny was.
"Alright take care of yourself Lulu, Classes start up again in January. I'll text you in a few days to see how you're doing, I am recommending at least two weeks away from Crimson and any sort of stress. I am also prescribing you prenatal vitamins to be taken every morning. Love you, buttercup." Matt knew that his friend probably would hate being indisposed but, Lulu was growing another human inside of her.
"Two weeks?" Lulu gaped at him, she would go stir crazy!
"Yeah, only two weeks? Better make it there because today's a Monday." Johnny shrugged, the two men smirking at the other.
"Why not make it four at this rate? Crimson could use a month long break from Lulu." Matt shrugged.
"You two are going to get me fired!" Lulu rolled her eyes, yet unable to keep from chuckling at their banter.
"I've got you covered." Johnny says and he really did,Johnny had enough money to never have to worry about anything.
"You know what? I'm not complaining.
.I've paid my dues. I deserve a break, Maxie and Kate can get along just fine without me. I never get to relax and just be in the moment." Lulu started to think about it, and was coming around to the idea.
"Don't worry about Maxie, I'll take care of Queen Bee. I'm writing you out of work for a month, I'll get you're discharge papers ASAP." Matt smiled before exiting the room, discreetly avoiding Elizabeth Webber.
Carly breathed out a sigh of relief when she saw Jason and Michael come through the doors, every that she'd had ceased in that moment.
"Baby, what's going on? You've been distant with me for awhile. If there's something I've done please tell me, because if you don't give me an answer I'll just come up with one!" Carly walked towards them, immediately noticing the puffiness around her son's eyes.
"Mom, it's not you. I just...I don't feel important to dad. I don't even feel like a son to him. I'm going to call Abby to come get me, because she's the only one I feel like seeing right now. I just can't do this tonight mom, I love you. I do." Michael sighed, giving his mother a quick hug before getting onto the elevator.
"I had to talk Michael out of jumping off that roof tonight, I'm going to have a talk with Sonny. There's no reason Michael should have to feel this way. Michael deserves a father!" Jason went off, not mad at Carly but mad at this whole day.
"I should have asked you to adopt Michael...then my son wouldn't be in pain. This is on me."
As soon as Michael saw the elevator doors close he felt a raging pain in his chest and the tears wouldn't stop, frantically he grabbed his phone and dialed Abby's number.
"Hello?" Her cheery voice picked up on the first ring, for that he was greatful.
"Hey Abby it's me. Can you come to GH and pick me up?" Michael tried to silence his tears as he stumbled out of the building, sinking down onto the bench in front of the hospital.
"Are you okay? Why are you at GH?" Abby immediately picked up on his distress, grabbing her keys and purse, then locking her apartment door.
"My cousin Jake got hit by a car tonight, Lulu passed out in the waiting room...and I tried to comitt suicide on the roof, Jason stopped me. I'm just not doing well and I need you." Michael sniffed, feeling sad and alone.
"I'm on my way, I love you." Came Abby's response as she sped towards the hospital.
"I love you, too." Michael gulped, feeling slightly better at her words. Abby pulled up to the front of the hospital within ten minutes, hopping out of her car to give her boyfriend a hug.
"Thank you for coming..." Michael pulled her into his arms.
"Thank you for calling me, I know how hard this is for you."
"Thank you for being here, I'm a bundle of nerves." Lucky gripped sam's hand in his, while Elizabeth merely scowled at Sam.
"I love Jake too, I hope he's okay." Sam gave him a tight smile.
"You're son is going to be alright, due to Lulu's quick reacting and getting Jake here quickly...his life was saved. We will need to keep Jake for observation tonight and maybe tomorrow but, he's doing great." Patrick Drake approached Lucky, Elizabeth, Nikolas and Sam.
