"how are you feeling, baby?" Lulu felt his forehead, still hot to the touch.
"I feel really dizzy, cold chills, I've developed a deep cough. I just, I feel really weak." Johnny mumbles, not feeling good at all.
"Oh, my poor baby." Lulu pouted, running her fingers through his hair and Johnny chuckled.
"Your face says you want something. What is it?" Lulu smirked, holding his hand.
"I want you to take care of me." Johnny murmurs and, Lulu softly smiled.
"That's what I'm going to do, I love you." Lulu smirked, kissing his face.
"Hey guys, I have the test results. Johnny has pneumonia...I'll prescribe him something but, the pharmacy won't be open until the morning. I'll put the stitches in you now, and you'll be good to go." Matt smiled, glad that it was only that.
"Thank you, Hunter. I appreciate it." Johnny nods.
"It's my job." Matt shrugged, and put five stitches in the wound.
"Make sure you keep an eye on the wound, change it every six hours. You know, usual stuff. You're free to go." Matt was always glad to help a patient.
"Can you help us? Johnny's still very weak." Lulu asked, with a smile.
"Of course." Matt nods, as they both lift Johnny up and help him into the hallway.
"What's the verdict?" Ethan asked, jumping up from his seat.
"Pneumonia." Lulu answered, as Ethan took over for Matt.
"I'll go and get your prescription in the morning, mate." Ethan says, helping him to the car.
"Thank you guys for helping me so much, it's hard for me to be this weak. This isn't me." Johnny sighs, sitting down in the back.
"No problem, mate." Ethan says, immediately.
"I know it is but, we got you. It's okay to be weak, you're sick Johnny. You're going to let me take care of you until you're better.
Alright?" Lulu sat in the back with Johnny, holding his hand.
"I know." Johnny smiled at her, as Ethan pulled into the parking lot.
"When we get in here, you want to go to the bedroom. Yeah?" Ethan asked.
"Yeah, I think I need sleep." Johnny yawned, leaning his head on Lulu's shoulder.
"Alright, you got it." Ethan says, helping Johnny out of the car and they made their way into the elevator. After getting off, Ethan unlocked the door to the penthouse and they helped Johnny inside and to the bedroom.
"Thank you for helping me tonight, I wouldn't have been able to help him without you." Lulu thanked her brother.
"It's what I do. Goodnight to you two." Ethan heads to his room. Lulu shut the door to Johnny's room, taking her coat off.
"What are you doing?" Johnny asked, with the hint of a smirk.
"I'm taking off my clothes, what does it look like?* Lulu smirked, slowly taking her top off leaning over as she slipped her skirt off giving Johnny a view of her ass.
"What? You know I can't sleep in my clothes.' Lulu innocent shrugged.
"I could look at that ass for the rest of my life." Johnny smirked, checking out her half naked body.
"Do I pass the inspection, Mr. Zacchara?" Lulu poses for him, making Johnny want her even more.
"Is that blowjob still on the table?" Johnny wonders, impressed.
"That entirely plans on how your feeling.' Lulu crawled towards him on the bed.
"I feel about the same as when I went in, maybe a blowjob is just what the doctor ordered." Johnny shrugged, if only he could get the room to stop spinning.
"Are you sure you want me? I mean, I am no supermodel." Lulu had doubts about her looks ever since everything happened with Dante and Brenda. She used to be confident in her looks but, lately she'd been hard on herself.
"Lu, you've always been a supermodel to me it doesn't matter what you wear or how you look. I've never wanted you more than I do right now, I will always want you no matter the circumstance. Now, come here." Johnny sighs, cupping her face.
"Johnny, you don't have to say that to make me feel better. I know that I'm not the same person I was when we were dating. I've gained weight since then, I don't look the same." Lulu wasn't sure what it would take to believe she was beautiful again.
"I'm not, I'm saying it because it's true. Who cares if you've changed? We aren't supposed to stay the same our whole lives. I love you for who you are, I wouldn't change anything about you. To me you are perfect, every bit of you. I don't care how long it takes, I will make you feel beautiful again." Johnny pulls her into his arms, using the last bit of his strength.
"Maybe we'll save this for another night, right now I think we just both need love...and I'm going to take care of you, no matter what." Lulu realized it might not be the best night for sexual activity.
"I do need some love, are you cold? I'm sure I've got a sweater here or something." Johnny runs his hand over her torso.
"Are you cold? I know you said you had cold chills."Lulu was still concerned about him.
"I'm okay, I've got the blanket." Johnny shook his head.
"Is it enough? Let me know if there's anything I can do." Lulu lays her head on his chest.
"Right now, you're all I need. Just to cuddle with you, forget the world exists." Johnny kisses the top of her head.
"I think you were made for me, I really do." Lulu mumbles, as they drifted off to sleep in each other's arms.
Johnny wasn't sure what time it was or if he was even awake but, he glared at Sonny Corinthos as always when he saw the man that was his ex brother in law.
"What do you want?" Johnny snarked at him.
"Are you you're protecting everyone you hold dear? Because I think you're slipping, Zacchara." Sonny darkly chuckled, pulling a body out from behind him pulling her by her matted blonde hair. Wait, Lulu had blonde hair...had Corinthos done something sick and twisted to his own goddaughter?
"You couldn't save your sister, and you can't save the love of your life either. Say hi to your boyfriend, before I spill your guts all over the cement." Sonny smirks jerking her hair so that she was forced to meet Johnny's eyes. Lulu's eyes looked dead inside, blood trickling down the side of her face.
"I guess I had to go sometime, though this is a less cool way to die. Johnny, please don't do anything to yourself. Live for me. Tell my brother I love him...I love you. I always will." Lulu showed no fear but, her voice shook the tiniest bit.
"Don't do this, you've already taken my sister...don't take Lulu away from me. I'll have nothing left without her. I am begging you, I'll do whatever you want, just don't touch her." Johnny's knees nearly buckled from under him.
"Too bad." Sonny clucked his tongue in disapproval before putting a gun to her head, and pulling the trigger. Johnny woke up gasping for air, realizing Lulu wasn't beside him. Had this been real? God, he hoped not.
"Lulu?" He called out, fear evident.
"Hey, I got some more blankets. I'm sorry, I went to my apartment to grab a few things. It looks like I scared you." Lulu winced, coming into the room with a bag, and some blankets.
"You're here." Johnny sighed, letting out the breath he'd been holding.
"Of course I'm here." Lulu glanced at him, was his fever that bad?
"Come here." Johnny motions for her, sitting on the side of the bed feeling woozy. Lulu put her bags and blankets down, slowly walking over to him.
"Careful there tiger, your still sick. I don't want you falling." Lulu eyes him, wondering what was going on.
"Just come here, please." Johnny sighed as Lulu stepped into his arms, he pulled her close to him and rested his head against her stomach... wrapping his arms around her back. Lulu wrapped her arms around his neck, deciding to humor him rather than asking what was wrong.
