Hailey walked through the halls of the hospital and millions of memories came rushing back to her. So many times where she had to come and found her older sister drunk and hurt or she had been picked up by Kirsten after a night of wild partying. She remembered one time coming here and finding that Kirsten and been knocked out at a party and Jimmy had carried his girlfriend all the way to the ER for treatment. Jimmy was too drunk to drive so he had called Hailey in hopes of a ride home. But an even more vivid memory was of when Hailey had been hit by a car and she was not allowed to leave the hospital unless someone came to pick her up. And she knew that if she phoned her parents they would ask what she had been doing. And "I was piss drunk" was not something she was going to tell her very strict but blind parents. So she phoned her sister. And not only picked her up but nursed her little sister back to health.

But now she was a grown up. She had a very good job, lots of money and she was very successful as a fashion designer... and her sister that had supported her in her time of need so she phoned her boss at work and told him that she would be taking an extended period of time off and she boarded the earliest flight possible.

Hailey was now standing behind a huge white door marked with a sign that said, "Waiting Room for Emergency Room". She looked through the small window and saw that Sandy, Ryan and her father were fast asleep in huge chairs. She then saw a redhead girl holding her father's hand. A new wife? She had to admit, she wouldn't know. She hadn't talked to anybody in California since she had left. She had really been too busy, trying to get her fashion line off the ground. She quietly pushed the door open and cringed as the red head girl opened her eyes.

"Who are you?" Hailey quietly demanded. She was never a subtle person.

"Lindsay... and you are?"

"Hailey Nichol. Why are you holding my father's hand? Aren't you a little young to be gold digging?" Lindsay looked shocked at Hailey's rude greeting.

"Uh... I'm holding his hand because his daughter is bordering on death... And I'm not a gold digger. Caleb is my dad." It was Hailey's turn to be shocked.

"What? What are you talking about? This man is my father!" Lindsay looked at Hailey for a minute and then smiled.

"Oh! Hailey! Oh my God, it's so great to finally meet you!" Caleb woke up at the sound of Lindsay's excited voice. It took him a few minutes to register who was talking but then he saw Hailey and he groaned.

"Oh shit." He whispered.

"Damn straight "oh shit"! You totally owe me an explanation dad. Who is this girl and why is she saying that she's my sister?" Hailey demanded. Caleb stood. He was going to have to go through this whole ordeal again.

"This is your sister Lindsay." He muttered. Hailey's eyes grew huge and he nodded, "I'm sorry you had to find out like this baby... but I only found out myself a little while ago."

"And no one felt the need to tell me I have another sister!" Hailey shrieked, which caused Ryan and Sandy to wake up.

"We tried but no one could get a hold of you darling. Your phone number had changed."

"I left a message with Seth about my new number!" Hailey cried. All five persons looked at each other and sighed. No wonder no one had found out about it. Seth generally didn't pass on messages that he took down. Hailey sighed and looked at Sandy and Ryan before another light bulb turned on in her head. "Wait a minute..." She whispered, "I would have noticed if mom was pregnant again..." Hailey looked fearfully at Caleb, "Dad?"

"It was a mistake Hailey... I promise..." Hailey started to move away from her father, "But I wouldn't take it back." Everyone stopped and looked at Caleb, "I wouldn't take it back because it gave me a wonderful and beautiful daughter that has so much potential." Caleb looked at Lindsay who looked shocked. As did everyone else.

"You know what? Fine, I have another sister. That just means that you're exactly the man I thought you were." Hailey pouted and slumped down into a chair beside Ryan.

"You know what Hailey? You have no right to do this. Your sister and nephew may die and you're just worried about your father. He apologized, he regrets that he cheated on the love of his life, but you can't make this about your own drama when you need to be focused on Kirsten and Seth. So please, forget about it. Lindsay is your sister. She's a wonderful girl and I highly recommend getting to know her." Everyone stared at Ryan in shock.

"I think that's the most I've ever heard you speak Ryan..." Hailey smiled at her adopted nephew and then smiled at Lindsay, "I'm sorry I was so rude to you... I'm just my father's daughter." Lindsay smiled and nodded.

"Apology accepted."
