Chloe slowly opened her eyes, the bright light hurt them and she squinted. Her throat felt like it'd been attacked with sandpaper and she searched for the call button to see what exactly had happened.

"Chloe." a sleepy voice said making her jump, "Thank God you're okay." she turned her squinty eyes to where the voice was coming from.

"Lucas." she sighed.

He got up and dimmed the lights and then hit the call button, "how are you feeling?"

"I've been better." she smiled, "thanks for dimming the lights." she laid back relaxed.

"What were you doing out on the docks so late? Lucky for you Phillip left something at the docks earlier."

"Phillip?" she asked surprised.

"Yeah, he jumped in and saved you."

"Chloe." Daniel came in. He was trying to suppress the worry in his always intense eyes.

"Dr. Jonas." Chloe said formally. She didn't want him to mistake anything she said. What was between them was over. She hadn't understood until that second why she had sex with him until that second. He looked somewhat like Philip, enough to remind her of him anyway. It wasn't Daniel she had responded to so feverishly to, it was the subconscious thought of Philip. She'd wanted Philip to feel those feelings for her again, to say such passionate and intense things too…like it used to be. High School felt like eons ago.

"You had us worried." he came in and checked her chart.

"Sorry. I went for a walk and tripped, the last thing I remember was hitting my head on the dock." Chloe crafted.

"Does it hurt?" he asked concerned.

"Everything hurts." she shrugged, "But I've had worse."

"This should help." he injected something into her IV. "Can I talk to Chloe alone for a moment?" he asked Lucas.

Lucas looked at Chloe to make sure she was okay with it, poor clueless Lucas. He had no idea Daniel was in love with her, not that it was his business anymore, but still. Chloe nodded and Lucas got up, "I'll be right back." he promised and squeezed her hand before leaving.

Daniel closed the door behind him. "Chloe…" he sat at the end of the bed, "You're pregnant."

She looked at her hands and nodded, "I know."

"Do you…Is it…"

She looked up, "It isn't yours."

He looked down disappointment in his eyes. "Are you sure?"

"I went to Lexi a couple days ago. I'm almost 9 weeks, it would be impossible to be yours."

He nodded, "Well congratulations. To you and Lucas both."

"What ever you gave me is kicking in." she changed the subject.

"Let me know once it wears off." he got up, "If you need anything at all let me know."

There was a knock at the door, "Lucas is back." she said relieved that the conversation would be put to rest…for now anyway.

"It's okay, you can come in now." Daniel called.

To Chloe's intense surprise Philip came in, "Dr. Jonas, Lexi said she needed to see you."

"I'll check on you in a few hours." he told Chloe and left.

The heart monitor sped up when Philip walked over and she prayed he didn't notice. "Philip. What are you doing here?"

"You never get tired of that question do you?" he said stiffly.

"Takes a big man to insult someone who can't even get up." she said sarcastically.

"You're the one who tired to kill herself." he said angrily.

"What? No, I tripped and hit my head and I must've--"

"Cut it out Chloe." he snapped.

"Were you spying on me?" she asked shocked.

"Why." he demanded, "You've made some stupid choices but I never thought you'd try and kill yourself."

"Look who's talking." she snapped back.

"I had a good reason and at least I did it trying to protect our country."

"You didn't do it to protect our country." she laughed, "Maybe I had a reason too and you don't know about it."

"I lost my wife and found out my daughter wasn't even mine, I can't think of a better reason than that."

"You think you know everything." she glared at him, "You don't know a damn thing."

"Let me guess you slept with Dr. Daniel Jonas and Lucas found out and you two broke up? Don't look so surprised I could tell the minute he laid eyes on you in the E.R. that he was in love with you. How'd my dear brother found out?"

"He doesn't know." she lowered her voice, "Daniel was a mistake and I can't hurt Lucas--" she almost said like I hurt you but changed her mind, "like that."

"I'm sick of everyone so concerned with not hurting Lucas." he said annoyed, "What is that I do so wrong?"

"Nothing." she said softly without thinking.

"Why then Chloe?" he demanded, "Why does everyone leave me."

"Your temper for one thing." she said, "I mean look at you." she pointed to his hands that were so tightly clenched in a fist that his knuckles were white, "What are you going to hit? Can you see how that might bother someone."

He relaxed his hands and sunk into the chair next to the bed. "I was different when I was married to Belle." he sighed and a sharp pain pierced her at the mention of his happy marriage to her long ago best friend. "When I would hold Claire in my arms," he smiled at the name, "my anger, my jealousy, it all just disappeared. I felt like I'd finally done something right. She was proof to me that I was a good person, she was a part of me and she was perfect…or so I thought. Should've known she wasn't mine."

"Philip you are a good person." Chloe said like she was talking to a frightened animal. He was talking to her like they used to. He'd always been so paranoid of showing emotion. Like an animal he could turn and attack her at any moment so she tried not to push him.

"What medication are you on?"

"No you are." she smiled, "You saved the life of a person you hate."

"Well I couldn't just leave you there" he laughed.

She felt prickling behind her eyes at the sound of his laugh, she missed how easy it used to be to talk to each other. They once told each other everything, they kept secrets together and now she was keeping one from him.

On one hand she felt guilty but on the other hand she didn't think she could handle the feeling she'd feel if she told him. It had to be this way, she'd have to come up with another plan, one he'd believe.

"Hey you okay in there?" Philip asked.

"Hm?" she blinked back the tears.

"You were just kinda spacing out."

"Oh." she cleared her throat and smiled, "Drugs and a head wound tend to make one somewhat spacey."

"Am I interrupting?" Lucas knocked on the open door.

"No." she smiled relieved and a little sad at the same time.

"Of coarse not Lucas." Philip got up, "You never do anything wrong."

"Sorry boys but visitor time is over." Lexi came in.

"Good. I was just leaving." Philip said, his hard tone returning.

"I'm glad you're okay." Lucas kissed her forehead and waved as he left.
