Feedback: stingrayfan@hotmail.com

Carly calls 911 as Jason tends to Brenda. He takes off his shirt and puts pressure where the bullet went in. He cradles her head in his lap and waits for the ambulance to get there.

"They are on their way" Carly tells Jason. Sonny comes up behind his wife and wraps his arms around her. She turns to look at him. "Are you alright?" he asks.

"I'm fine Sonny, its Brenda we should worry about, she risked her life to save mine. " she frowns and looks down at Brenda who is still not responding to Jason.

"Brenda....answer me...." Jason still holding the shirt on the wound when the ambulance comes in. They push Jason away and start working on Brenda. Carly comes over to Jason and puts her arm around him. "She's going to be alright Jason" Jason looks at her stunned that she realized his feelings for her. He lets her comfort him as the paramedics work on her. They pick Brenda up and put her on the stretcher. Brenda begins to stir.

"Jas...Jason..." Jason goes over to her.

"I'm here" he smiles at her

"Don't leave me...." the paramedics start to wheel her to the ambulance and Jason follows.

"I won't" Jason says and looks back at Sonny and Carly.

"We'll be right behind you, I want to take Carly in to get her checked out." Sonny nods and Jason leaves with Brenda.

"Sonny..I'm alright, I would rather go home." Sonny puts his arms around her.

"I want you to go to the hospital to get checked out, I want to make sure your alright." Sonny puts one arm around her waist and heads out the door.

"Ok Ok, you win but then we go home and go to bed and never get out." she smiles up at her husband, thanking god that he got there and they are ok.

"It's a deal." Sonny kisses her and they head outside. Sonny's men have a limo outside waiting to take them to the hospital. Sonny helps Carly in and then gets in himself. He sits right next to Carly and pulls him to her. She snuggles against him, finally glad to be back in her husbands arms. He tights his arms around her. She lays her head on his shoulder. Before she even closes her eyes she's asleep.

"I love you Caroline" Sonny says as he kisses a sleeping Carly, then lays his head back.

At the hospital:

Jason is pacing outside Brenda's room. The doctors gives the orders to the nurse and comes out to talk to Jason.

"How is she?" Jason asks.

"Your wife is fine. We removed the bullet, she's in a lot of pain but we gave her some medicine for that also. We will keep her here overnight for observation and then she can go home in the morning."

"Thank you" Jason shakes the doctors hand.

"She's asking for you, go on in and see her." the doctor tells Jason and he walks away. Jason walks into the room and looks at his wife. He still can't believe she jumped in front of a bullet to save someone she doesn't even like. He feels a new admiration and a fierce protectiveness like he's never felt before.

"Hey....." Brenda looks up and sees Jason. She smiles brightly at the sight of him.

"Hey yourself....." she smiles. Jason walks over and sits on the stool next to the bed. "Jason, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for, you got shot." he says

"You didn't leave me." She lifts his hand and puts it to her face. "Jason....I...I'm starting to care more about you than I ever thought I would and I don't know where that is going to lead us." He looks at her and sees the tears in her eyes that she is trying to keep in.

"Shhh, it's going to be alright...I care about you to." He leans in an starts to kiss her when a knock at the door interrupts them.

"Dont' let us interrupt" Carly says with a smile. She walks over to Jason and hugs him then turns to Brenda "Brenda I dont know where to begin.........Thank You"

"Your welcome Carly....." They both just look at each other, trying to figure out what to say.

"I know we probably won't ever be best friends but we could atleast try to be friends." Carly reaches her hand out "Truce?"

"Truce" Brenda says and takes Carly's hand. Jason and Sonny just look on with stunned silence. They never in their wildest dreams imagined this could have happened.

"Carly, what did the doctor say?" Jason asked as he took his place back on the stool next to his wife.

"He says I'm fine" rolling her eyes she looks over at Sonny "But Mr. Control Freak here had to make sure" he laughs when she nods her head his way.

"Yeah, well,.... ya know.........." he looks over at Brenda and Jason and realizes they would probably like to be alone together as much as Sonny would like to take his wife home. "Come on Carly, lets leave these two to themselves." Carly puts her arm around her husband and they head out the room.

"We'll see you guys tomorrow" Jason says as he turns back to his wife.

"Now where were we." She asks and Jason bends back down for another kiss.

Limo:

Sonny and Carly climb in and snuggle up to each other, both thinking what they want to do when they get home.

That's it for Chapter 10. How do you like it?
