A/N: Part of this chapter is song fic.
Sonny ran into the hospital, Mikey and Morgan were already there with Jason. Durant rushed in shortly afterwards.
"Daddy, daddy!" Mikey ran into Sonny's arms "we heard a lot of noise and yelling so I locked the door and hid with Morgan in the closet." His eyes were welling up.
"It's ok, you did well" Sonny said, kneeling down to Mikey's height, he kissed the top of his head and hugged him tightly.
"Is, is Emily going to be ok?" Mikey asked, afraid of the answer.
"Um, I, uh, I don't know" Sonny sighed; he hugged Mikey one more time and walked over to Jason who was sitting in the waiting room.
"How is she?"
"I'm waiting for Dr. Drake to come out of the OR and tell me" Jason replied, playing with his fingers nervously.
"I'm, I'm sorry" Sonny sat down next to him "she doesn't deserve this, she was just trying to help, I shouldn't have left her alone"
"She wasn't alone" Jason ran his hands through his hair "I just, she's my sister Sonny, she's one of the few people I could actually trust and now she could be gone" his eyes started to get watery. Patrick Drake walked into the waiting room. "How is she?" Jason asked, standing up.
"She shouldn't be alive right now" he started "but she is. It's a miracle how good she's doing; with the injury in her back she should be paralyzed."
"Is she going to be ok?" Jason asked
"Yes she will, I expect her to make a full recovery, she'll just need to stay in bed for a few days. She's sleeping now but you can go see her whenever you'd like." he shook Jason's hand and walked away.
Jason turned to face Sonny then hugged him as he cried tears of joy. "She's gonna be ok, she's gonna be ok!" he smiled.
Durant breathed a sigh of relief and walked outside to get fresh air when a group of reporters bombarded him with questions
"What happened at the Corinthos' residence? Is it true Mr. Corinthos' bodyguard is in fact The Slasher? What is Ms. Quartermaine's condition?"
"No comment" Durant turned around and went back into the hospital.
Here it comes it's all blowing in tonight
I woke up this morning to a blood red sky
He needed to be alone; the pressure of finding the killer was beginning to get to him. He found a supply closet and walked inside.
"Not even the cleaning supplies can get some peace and quiet" a voice in the closet said.
"Oh um, I didn't know anyone was in here" Durant went to turn around.
"No, no stay here, I need to talk to you anyway"
"Ok Bobbie" he sat down next to her.
They're burning on the bridge turning off the lights
We're on the run I can see it in your eyes
Monica, Alan and the rest of the Quartermaines ran into the hospital. "Is she ok?" "What happened?" "I should've known it would come to this"
Jason stared at them, tears in their eyes "She's going to be ok" he said with a smile.
"Oh thank God!" Monica said as she hugged Jason.
If nothing is safe then I don't understand
You call me your boy but I'm trying to be the man
Alan wiped the tears off of his cheeks and hugged his sister, Tracy. She gave a look of displeasure, hiding the fact that deep down she was happy Emily was still alive.
One more day and it's all slipping with the sand
You touch my lips and grab the back of my hand
The back of my hand
Sonny went into a lonely corner 'what was the killer's motive? A lover scorned? Someone playing a mind game with him?' Sonny rested his head against the wall and closed his eyes tightly wanting to escape the reality of what was happening.
Guess we both know we're in over our heads
We got nowhere to go and no home that's left
"She's gone, the daughter I worked so hard to have a relationship with is just…gone" tears started to roll down Bobbie's face. Durant looked at her with compassionate eyes. "I don't even know what to feel" she continued "should I be sad she's gone? Should I be angry at whoever killed her? Should I be relieved that she finally doesn't have to deal with Sonny and all the other trouble she had?"
The water is rising on a river turning red
It all might be ok or we might be dead
Durant placed a hand on her shoulder "you shouldn't be working, you should be-"
"Be what?" she interrupted him "planning a funeral? I haven't even had the time to stop and think about that, her body's been lying in the morgue for three days. I haven't even been able to think about a funeral because burying her would mean letting her go. I'm working non-stop because it's the only way to get my mind off of her death, until I saw Emily and I…" she began to sob uncontrollably "I can't even remember the last time I saw her, the last thing I said to her!" She buried her face in Durant's shoulder.
If everything we've got is slipping away
I meant what I said when I said until my dying day
I'm holding on to you, holding on to me
Ric held his coffee cup in his hands, his mind had been all over the place ever since his one night stand with Reese was made public, and now she was dead, along with his ex-wife and the mother of his child. He took another sip of his coffee. He was going to find Max; he was going to make him pay for everything he'd done. Then he remembered Max had been with Emily when Alexis was murdered, so there had to be another killer. He gripped the coffee cup tighter; he needed to find the killers, for him, for Alexis, for Kristina and Christopher, for everyone.
Maybe it's all gone black but you're all I see
You're all I see
"I'm sorry" Bobbie said through the tears "I'm sorry you never really got a chance with Carly. She was a good person, despite what everyone says…she didn't deserve this…" she continued to cry into Durant's shoulder.
The walls are shaking, I hear them sound the alarm
Glass is breaking so don't let go of my arm
"I had my chance, and I blew it" Durant put his arms around Bobbie.
"You know she called me that night? She called me and asked if I wanted to get a cup of hot chocolate, I was working…I should've gone with her… I could've…"
"Don't, Bobbie, don't blame yourself" Durant looked into Bobbies tear soaked eyes.
Grab your bags and a picture of where we met
All that we'll leave behind and all that's left
Jason walked into Emily's room and sat down in a chair next to her bed. She was asleep and had scratches all over her face. Jason could barely look at her without crying and wanting Max to pay for what he did to his little sister. He grabbed her hand and held it tightly, he vowed to be a better more caring brother to her from now on, she needed him and he would be there for her.
If everything we've got is blowing away
We've got a rock and a rock till our dying day
Emily opened her eyes and saw Jason. Jason smiled, relieved his sister was finally awake, and Emily gave a faint smile back. She noticed the tears in Jason's eyes "don't worry Jason, I'm gonna be fine" she said with a smile
I'm holding on to you, holding on to me
Maybe it's all we got but it's all I need
You're all I need
"I guess you don't know what you've got, how much someone means to you, until a time like this…until they're gone" Bobbie said.
And if all we've got is what no one can break
I know I love you if that's all we can take
Durant wiped away the tears from her cheek and looked into her eyes. She stared into his.
The tears are coming down
They're mixing with the rain
Durant moved his face closer to Bobbie's and she did the same. He kissed her softly on the lips.
I know I love you, if that's all we can take
Durant's beeper went off and he moved his lips away from hers "I, uh, I have to go" he got up and left the closet.
Bobbie put her head back against a shelf and wiped her face. "Bye."
A/N: I thought this story needed an emotional chapter that showed the impact of the murders and I always wanted GH to have a Bobbie/Durant relationship so I thought this would be a perfect chance for them to finally talk. The song I used is 'All I Need' by Mat Kearney. I will get back to the murders by the next chapter, and I promise at least one death, so keep reading! Please review!
