*****
All of the Cliffhangers were sitting in the lodge waiting on Peter and Sophie to arrive for group. Suddenly the door burst open and in walked Peter with a HUGE smile on his face.
"Well look who's added to their bag of sunshine." Shelby remarked, sarcasticaly.
"Yes, your right Shelby I just got off the phone with Sophie, who went for a physical today and got some miraculous news!" Peter answered in a giddy voice.
"Ohhh thats great, Peter. What did she say?" Juliette said excited for Peter.
"Well.... it may come as a shock to some of you..." He started eyeing Shelby and Daisy. "... but Sophie learned that she is by some miracle... pregnant!" Peter blurted out.
"Oh, thats cool man. Do they know if its a boy or a girl yet?" Auggie asked.
"Yes. She has been bearing child for about 4 months and we didn't know it yet. They said it would be a boy. And since today is special, we are gonna have a special group! The topic is baby names.
"Well, Peter if it were for any other dude I wouldn't go along with this but since your my friend and counceler I will." Scott said.
"Me too." Shelby agreed with Scott.
"Ok well I'm gonna go around the circle and ask each of you, your favorite names. I'll start with Scott."
"Well I have always liked the name Shelby." He said looking at Shelby. "But I will say Madison. I like that name. It can be a boys or a girls name. If the doctors are wrong about the gender you can still use it." Scott said.
"Very good Scott. Shelby?"
"Well.... since were are trying to make each other blush I say Scott." She smiled at Scott and he blushed. "SUCESS. Anyway, I think that Dale is a good name. It's like my best friends brothers name was." She said trailing off into her thoughts. She had had a realy good friend on the streets until she had to go OD on herself. 'Damn you, Patty' Shelby thought.
"Ok, Juliette?"
"Um... I like the name Jacob or Benjamin Either are good!" She said in her usual perky tone.
"I like those too, Jules" Auggie said.
"I'd go for Jason, or maybe Jeffery. I have alwase liked the name Xavier. It was the name of my only friend at home. He was a awsome guy alwase rocking and stuff. Last I heard he was at JuV for some theft issue." Daisy said remembering.
"Those are cool, Daisy." Peter said.
"I like Jorge or Juan... but those are Mexican names you'd probaly want some names like Jamie and Matthew." Auggie said.
"I actualy do like Matthew, Auggie! Thanks" Peter said.
"No problemo, muchacho" Auggie said and smiled.
All of a sudden Peter and the Cliffhangers heard a phone ringing from Peters office.
"Oh, sorry guys that might be Sophie. She's had the weirdest cravings for food lately." He said then ran off to his office.
"So who wants to bet what kind of food Sophie wants?" Scott joked.
"I call Ice Cream!" Shelby exclaimed.
"I call ketchup. My mom said that when she was pregnant with me that she had cravings for ketchup." Auggie said.
"Jellybeans. My dad told me that he had to go out for Jelly beans almost everynight cause my mom would crave them to the point were she couldn't sleep, when she was pregnant with Shannon." Kat said. Then she thought about Shannon. 'How I miss her. But its not my fault' She mentaly reasured herself.
Just as Ezra was about to Comment Peter came rushing through the door with an EXTREAME look of sadness and confusion.
"Wow, Peter. Did she want you to buy the world? It can't be that bad." Daisy said sarcasticaly. No one had seen him this mad. When he was in a good mood he couldn't be mad. You should have seen him at his and Sophie's wedding after the MORP! Scott and a Trailblazer got into a BIG fight when the guy said something to Shelby and Peter just shrugged it off with only a slap on the hand.
"Um.. Sophie did call but when I got off the phone with her someone else called. It was the police. There's been an accident. Shelby I'm sorry to say this but your mother and sister were in a deadly car accident." Peter said.
"WHERE'S JESS! IS SHE OKAY!" Shelby exclaimed, tears filling her eyes.
"Jess is fine. She came out without a scratch because she was wearing her seatbelt. Your mother however, was killed in an instant."
Shelby stood there letting the tears flow profusely from her eyes. She was swaying from side to side and just fell on the groud. Sweet blackness occured as she passed out.
"PETER!" Scott screamed. All of the Cliffhangers helped get Shelby to the infirmary and she was layed on a bed to rest.

2 hours later Shelby woke up.
"Ahh... It was all a dream!" She said as she remembered what had happened.
"Hey, Shell your awake." Peter said.
"Yeah, I had this awful nightmare. My mom died in a ca-" Shelby stopped and started into Peter's eyes. She met the fear and pain in them and it scared her.
"It wasn't a dream was it, Peter?" Shelby simply asked.
"No, I'm sorry it wasn't. But I do have some good news. Your sister is here to see you. She got here about 10 minutes ago." Suddenly as if on cue a little blonde girl came running into the room. She clinged to Shelby and started bawling her eyes out. This caused Shelby to cry too. Peter saw that they were both in pain and needed to be alone. Suddenly it struck him... he had some calls to make.
*****
"Are you absolutely SURE you have to do that Mrs. Reynolds. You can release them both into my custody and let them both stay here until their 18!" Peter pleaded.
"I'm sorry, Mr Scarbrow but It's the law and I am in no place to break it. We have to send them to the home. There's no way around it, Sorry." Mrs. Reynolds exclaimed.
"Well, Shelby needs help. She has had an amazingly hard life as just a child. She has been through so much. Do you think that if I set up a scholarship fund for her that the family would let her stay?" Peter asked.
"The family is rich. If they want to send Shelby or Jess to the facility then they will, no scholarship needed. I doubt they will though." The lady said. Peter sighed. He had no other options.
"Okay, well, thank you for your help. Bye" Peter said the last part harsly as he slammed the phone down on the reciever. He picked it back up again and called Sophie.
"Hello?" Sophie asked.
"Hey, babe its me." Peter said solumly.
"Whats wrong, mountain man? How did Shelby take the bad news?" She asked.
"Not to well. Well actualy it was a normal reaction when she passed out but she is fine now. I called some people and they said that Shelby had no other family anywhere. Walt and her mother was it. Now we cant very well send her to Walt now can we? So she and her sister are being sent to a foster home. The foster parents are pretty well off finacialy and dont plan on sending Shelby OR Jess back to Horizon. I still haven't broken the news to her yet. I don't know how to." Peter finished. Finaly realising that he had taken like 2 breaths between his whole explaination.
"Oh... I wish I could be there to help you hun, but I cant. Doctors orders. He said it was different with me and that I have to stay in bed until he can do a full check up on the baby." Sophie explained.
"Well how do I tell her?" Peter asked franticaly.
"The truth hun... the truth always works. I have to go now.... oh and when you get a chance.... bring me some Jelly Beans!" Sophie said.
"Ok, Soph. I love you."
"I love you too, mountain man." Sophie said.
"Bye."
"Bye" Peter hung up the phone and truged out into the lodge to break the news to Shelby and Jess.
"Hey guys!" Peter said with a fake smile plastered onto his face.
"Hey Peter." Shelby said quietly.
"Well I have some news for you two." Peter said
"Oh, Not more news!!!" Shelby exclaimed.
"What is it?" Jess asked maturely.
"Well I hate to tell you this but you will both be taken out of Horizon and put into a foster home." Peter said.
"Will they let us come back?!?!?!" Shelby asked franticaly. She was scared and she would have admitted it if it would have helped her stay at Horizon.
"Um... I doubt it hon. They are coming to pick you two up tomorrow.... so you need to say goodbye tonight." Peter said and walked away.
Shelby looked at Scott who was starting at her. Both their eyes locked and Shelby pleaded for him to help her. Scott's eyes shot confusion back at Shelby and she motioned for him to go to the docks. They both scrambled outside as Jess sat there alone. She then decided that she wanted to tell some people goodbye.

"Well I'm going to get to the point. Since my mom died and I don't have any relatives I am being placed in a foster home. Both me and Jess. Peter told me that they would not be bringing me back to Horizon. If I hadn't have hurt you so bad by not saying goodbye last time I wouldn't be saying it this time cause its so hard." Shelby stated almost breaking down.
Scott threw both his arms around Shelby and took her in for a hug. Scott felt her body collapse in his grasps and she started crying.
"Scott I don't know why they don't just let me stay here! I realy dont want to leave without you!" Shelby said through tears. She pushed away from Scott and wiped her tears away. "I wouldn't ask this if I didn't have any doubts but do you think that a long distance relationship would work." Shelby asked pleading for the answer to be yes.
Scott shook his head.
"I don't know but we can sure try right. There's absolutely no harm in that!" He said as they both broke down and cryed into each others arms.
