Thank you to everyone who has read this fic. And a special thank to those of you who reviewed. Enjoy!

Chapter Two

Lucky Spencer's body hit the pavement with a loud thud. Moments Manny Ruiz's body followed. Within minutes half the PCPD was on the hospital roof. The medical staff quickly followed. Jason was immediately rushed in to surgery.

Soon after Carly and Sonny rushed into the waiting room demanding answers. Between them and Sam, Epiphany was pushed well past her limit. "I told you people already Mr. Morgan is still in surgery. The man is lucky to be alive. Now stop harassing me and my staff or get out." Epiphany snapped with her hands on her hips as she glared at the trio.

"You can't talk to me like that. Do you know who I am?" Carly yelled as she stuck her nose up in the air.

"I don't care who you think you are. You're interfering with my staff doing their job. Now shut up or leave." Epiphany replied uncaring.

"Fine." Carly snapped and then stomped away.

"Thank you, Nurse Johnson." Sonny said softly and then walked over to the waiting area and sat down. He quickly buried his face in his hands and sighed loudly.

Elizabeth watched the display from behind the nurses' desk with disgust. She never understood Carly and she probably never would. She sighed softly and turned back to the charts. "You should go home and be with your boy." Epiphany advised her firmly.

"I know. I just... if I stop long enough to think I don't know what will happen. It will all be real then." Elizabeth tried to explain as she felt her eyes fill up with tears.

"It is real." Epiphany reminded her gently.

"I know." Elizabeth whispered. "I know."

"At least take a break." Epiphany said firmly.

"Ephi..." Elizabeth started to argue.

"That's an order." Epiphany snapped.

Elizabeth sat in the on call room. She hated that Epiphany made her take a break. She didn't want to stop. If she did she might just fall apart. Last time Lucky died she nearly died too. This time though she had Cameron and he needed her.

"Elizabeth are you okay?" Bobbie Spencer asked softly as she walked into the room and put her arm around Elizabeth's shoulders.

"I don't think it's hit me yet." Elizabeth admitted in a low voice.

"If you need anything..." Bobbie offered gently.

"Thanks, Bobbie but I think only one thi… person can help me." Elizabeth whispered.

"Who's that sweetie?" Bobbie asked gently as she leaned in close to the young woman.

"Jason." Elizabeth whispered almost silently as her body begin to tremble and her tears pored. "I need Jason."

Jason woke up disoriented. It took a moment for him to realize where he was and what had happened. "Elizabeth." he whispered closing his eyes tightly. He wondered how she was handling her loss. He remembered the night he saved her at Jake's. Hopefully she wouldn't be tempted to destroy herself like that this time. He vowed to make sure that Elizabeth didn't break down completely.

Just then the door opened. Jason started to yell until he saw Elizabeth walk in the door.

"Hey how are you?" she asked softly, feeling better just seeing him.

"The doctor said the bullet damaged some nerves in my arm. They don't know how badly but um... I'm just waiting for the test results." Jason explained watching her closely.

"Well it can't be that serious. Look how well you're moving your hand." Elizabeth said softly, trying to make him feel better.

"It's weaker. I have to be able to recover use of it." Jason replied knowing that she was trying to avoid talking about Lucky.

"Jason it could have been a lot worse. You almost died. Why are so concerned about your hand? Oh, that's the hand you shoot with." Elizabeth realized suddenly.

"Actually I shoot with both hands." Jason said with a small grin. That was his Elizabeth, worried about him when she had just lost her husband. 'His Elizabeth? Now, where the hell did that come from?' he suddenly thought.

"Right. Of course you do. No one was around so I told Epiphany I'd hold on to your stuff for you." Elizabeth explained as laid his belongings on top of the table by the bed.

"Thanks. You want to talk about it?" Jason said as he reached out and took her hand in his.

"About what?" Elizabeth asked as her eyes filled up with tears.

"I know about Lucky." Jason admitted as she finally raised her eyes up to his.

"I have your test results." Patrick said as he pushed open the door and walked inside.
