D: I do not own HG; only those who I made up.
A/N: I do not own Danny, he is property of Emer. I do highly recommend you read her fic called 'The Family' to understand who Danny is and how he came to be apart of the Horizon group. Otherwise you'll be REALLY confused on my story about Danny. I borrowed him from Emer, with permission of course. So I highly recommend reading 'The Family', it's really good; that's one of the reasons I went off of it. I loved the fic. On ward with my story, hope you all enjoy, it's my second HG fic, and only my 3rd fic ever, so R&R please! Enjoy!
AA/N: Just to point out, I am not a doctor or have a PHD or MD attached to my name, so some of the medical stuff mentioned is based off of a very vague knowledge and a twin sis who is going through nursing school with some knowledge of some stuff. So don't flame me if some of my medical stuff doesn't quit fit for real, go with it, it makes my story work, and besides it's an AU, so anything is game. Thanx!

"Shelby? Sophie wants to see you in the office. When you 'finish' here, you should go see her. She looked a little worried." Daisy announced to Shelby as she sat on the docks with Scott cuddling. It was just before dinner so they figured the 'ward attendants' would be elsewhere and wouldn't catch them.
"Hmm. I wonder what's up? I don't THINK I've done anything wrong!? She seemed cool with me in class. Gosh, I hate these office thingy's!" Shelby said getting up with a worried face.
"Well, you're 1 for 4 on the 'good' to 'bad' news, so you're on the losing end..sorry, Shel." Scott said jokingly, flashing his grin that always managed to stop her breath.
"Gee, thanks.see ya' at dinner, cowboy." She said kissing him quickly on the cheek then heading off to the office. For a moment, she was hoping Danny was coming with her, but as soon as that thought struck, she knew it had to be bad news if both Merrick twins were called in. Her heart skipped a beat as she WAS joined by her as he also made his way across campus in the direction of the office. They joined together outside the office and immediately she whispered.
"Jess"
Danny clicked the same feeling and instantly took his sister's hand and went into the office. This time only Sophie was there, so Shelby relaxed a little. If it were hugely serious, Peter would be the one to tell her. He was always the 'fatherly' way towards her, even more so then the others and that didn't go unseen by Shelby.
"Hey Soph, what's up? Everything okay?" Shelby started as the twins each took a seat.
"Well, not everything. Nothing life threatening, no one's died, don't worry!" Sophie suddenly said when she saw the look of pure panic came over Shelby and spread to her twin brother.
"Why we both here? Is it our mom..or Jess?" Shelby said, chewing on her lip. The look in Sophie's eyes when Shel mentioned her little sister confirmed it.
"Oh migosh! It's Jess! What's wrong?! Did something happen?!" Shelby gasped out, automatically hitting the panic button again. Jess always did that for her.
"Calm down.she's okay. She just got sick a few days ago..she started getting bad abdominal pains and fainted in school today. Your mom called to tell me she's in the hospital..but she's okay right now. It's not life threatening. They're observing her mostly and running a bunch of tests..but from what the doctors could gather, from her general exam, is that it has something to do with her reproductive system. It's possibly from what happened with your stepfather. Your mother's concerned about you now as well." Sophie explained as best as she could. Shelby nodded, a little bit in shock. Her eyes teared up slightly, as she thought about it all.
"S-she's okay? I-is she in any.pain?" Shelby mumbled quietly.
"No..when your mom called, Jess was sleeping comfortably next to her. The pediatrician there wants to ask you some questions..concerning your health with.." Sophie dragged on, glancing at Danny a little questioningly.
"Oh!..oh, um...so my baby sis is all right at the moment? And you'll keep tabs on her for us?.." Danny said getting the hint and standing up to leave.
"Yes, and of course." Sophie answered for him.
"Then.I'll head to dinner..I think we're having that pasta-y stuff again. See ya' sis." Danny said, softly touching her hand goodbye and walking out the door, shutting it gently.
"I just wanted to include him on the news about Jess...think you're up to answering some touchy questions right now?" Sophie asked gently.
" Y-yeah...please...uh.THINGS haven't been too...normal lately..or for a LONG time now. A-and..I just.was too embarrassed to mention or say anything..it's just..well..when YOU went through all that stuff..I just got even more freaked..I guess I didn't want to believe it really." Shelby said, all in gasps. Sophie nodded with a knowing look as she dialed the hospital where Jess was at.
[10 min. after dinner started.]*********************************
Danny came into the mess hall and with huge eyes and a smile, covered his plate with his fave dish. As he joined the Cliffhangers table, Scott searched behind him for Shelby.
"Hey, bro.where's Shel? She wasn't with you in the office?" he asked, feeling worried for some reason.
"Uh-huh." Danny mumbled around his mouthful of food.
"Was that a yes she was with you or what?" Scott, getting slightly irritated since he couldn't figure out why he was feeling so uneasy.
"Width mhe.imb obice." Danny mumble some more. Suddenly Scott had his plate away from him, glaring at him expectantly.
"Gulp Okay! Our little sister's sick in the hospital, not life threatening; they're just running some tests and observing her. Something to do with.her..female stuff or something. Once I knew she was okay, I scrammed. Not my area, if you haven't noticed. The doctors just wanted to ask Shel some questions about her health.since their both sisters." Danny said feeling all uncomfortable and embarrassed.
"What, wait..is she okay? Is she.like.Sophie?" Daisy spoke suddenly. Of course, Danny had no clue what she was talking about, so he just shrugged, reaching desperately for his food. Scott gave it back to him, patting his shoulder, and taking off.
'Please be okay, babe' Scott thought, rushing to find her. He met her heading out of the office building, a little teary eyed.
"Shel, babe, you okay? Danny said Jess was sick.and..you." he stammered, out of breath.
"Um, she's okay. She had.these pains and fainted. They're doing some tests,.but..since it's her.'girl stuff'...they say it's from, you know, Walt...and so they wanted to ask me s-some questions. 'Cause.I..I've never told..never wanted to believe something was wrong with me...a-and..my sometimes pains..so.they're sending me to a doctor here..t-to check me out. It's not serious..and he's not the biggest GYN doc, 'cause we can't afford that.but it's just some simple tests and procedures...to make sure of some things. I go tomorrow morning." Shelby tried to explain, turning pink sometimes, and sometimes glancing away from him.
"Oh, my poor Shel..c'mere" Scott said, wrapping her up in his arms. She sighed finally just rubbing her face in his chest.
"Wanna eat?.something.please?" he asked when he saw her twist her face up. She nodded and allowed him to pull her to the mess hall. Once seated with her small glass of juice, piece of bread, melon slice, and some pasta; Daisy caught her attention since the whole gang, respectively, stayed quiet.
"You okay, Shel?" Daisy asked, full of concern. Shelby looked up to see the whole Cliffhangers groups eyes looking at her the same way.
"Ah, guys. Chill. I go for some tests in the morning. Then we'll see. Don't know for sure yet." She said, smiling sadly. She couldn't lie to them when they were all looking at her like that by saying she was fine. Even David looked like he had a flicker of concern on his face.
"Jess isn't in any more pain and was sleeping peacefully. My mom said she was more upset about the I.V. and board they had to attach to her wrist." She informed, smiling. She ate everything on her tray since she wouldn't be allowed to eat anything before her 9:00am appointment. Just before she said goodnight to Scott, she looked scared up into his eyes.
"Scott.what if-"but was silenced by his finger.
"No if's.you'll be fine...get some rest. My princess." He said trying to lighten the mood. She nodded and kissed him a long good night kiss.
"Bye my prince." He heard her say as she slipped away back towards the girls dorm. He turned on his heal and headed straight for Peter's office.
He had something to do.
