"Do we have to go back?" Dani asks.

"Not unless you want to. We can stay here as long as you want to. Do you mind if I text Amy and just let her know you're okay?"

"Okay."

Ty sits down in the snow and crosses his legs gently taking Dani and moving her into his lap. He sends Amy the text message then puts his phone away after making sure Dani is off of the snow and semi-warm.

"Can I ask you something?" Ty asked.

"You can ask whatever you want. I just might not answer."

"Fair enough. Your relationship with Georgie, are you two close?"

Dani shrugs, "We used to be super close, like best friends. Then our parents died and when we went into foster care we were split up. From what I've seen of her recently she is different, she has changed from the girl I used to know. I'm not sure I like this new Georgie."

"Thank you for telling me. You don't have to go near her if you don't want to."

"Thank you. I just, I like being with you and Amy."

"That's perfectly fine. You can stay with us as long as you want."

Dani nods and snuggles into his chest. Ty rests his head on her's and smiles, gently hugging her close.

As the cold wind picks up, Ty and Dani both get up and head back to the house. Part way through, Ty picks Dani up and carries her.

Arriving to the house, Amy immediately takes them to the living room to get warm. Getting a change of clothes for Dani, Amy lays them on the bed before turning to see Georgie.

"What happened to my sister? Why is she scared of everyone, myself included?" Georgie asks.

"I don't know, Georgie. She was abused in her last home. That's all I know."

"What?" Georgie gasps hearing the word 'abused'.

"What did I say?" Amy questions wanting to hear Georgie's answer.

"My little sister was abused?"

"Yes."

"WHAT THE HELL!" Georgie screams before running out. Following her quickly, Amy finds Georgie standing in front of Dani and Ty. Georgie is questioning Dani about her past which makes Dani uncomfortable and scared.

"Georgie." Amy uses the warning tone on the young girl, "Leave Dani alone."

"You can't keep me away from my sister. She will never be your family, Amy." Georgie glares.

"Georgie, I care about Dani. Can't you see that you are scaring her? And making her uncomfortable?"

"Back off, Amy." Georgie growls making Dani flinch, "Dani is my sister. She is my responsibility."

"Whatever you say, Georgie. But just know this; I will always be in her life, as long as she lets me."

"Dani, let's go to bed." Georgie orders turning to Dani who shakes her head.

"No. I don't like the person you turned into, Georgie." Dani admits, "My real sister would have never gotten angry to the point of disrespecting someone."

"I'm still your sister, Dani." Georgie snaps.

"Georgie." Ty warns gently taking Dani into his arms.

"I don't care. You aren't the real sister I knew and loved." Dani speaks before getting slapped in the face. Looking up with tears in her eyes, Dani spots Lou.

"Don't you dare talk that way about my daughter!" Lou growls holding her crying daughter.

"LOU!" Amy shouts making her way over quickly, putting herself as the barrier between Lou and Dani, "How dare you hurt her!"

"She hurt my daughter, Amy." Lou states furiously.

"And you hurt mine." Amy narrows her eyes.

"She's not your daughter, Amy. She's just a little girl who is staying here."

"Mom!" Georgie gasps, "That's my sister!"

"Not a good one."

"True, but I might not be the good one to her." Georgie points out.

"She had no right to say that to you, Georgie."

"Lou, get out." Amy glares at her sister.

"I live here, Amy." Lou snaps rounding on her younger sister. Looking at Dani, she's hidden in Ty's arms.

"I don't care. I'll tell dad and Grandpa what you have done. Hitting a little girl, who is part of my family."

"She's not yours, Amy." Georgie growls, "She's my family."

"You're jealous? Jealous of the relationship I have with, Dani?"

"You have nothing compared to me and Dani."

"Amy is family to me, Georgie." Dani steps in peeking out from Ty's chest.

"Amy is a bitch, Dani. She's stuck up."

"Stop being a jerk, Georgie." Dani narrows her eyes. Angry, Dani pulls away from Ty to cross her arms blocking Georgie and Amy from each other, "Now say sorry."

"No."

"You seriously have changed. You aren't my sister." Turning to leave, Georgie grabs Dani's arm to stop her. Dani flinches.

"I'm still your sister, Dani."

"No, you're not." Pulling away, Dani storms to Amy's room.

Once there, Dani changes into the clothes Amy has laid out for her. Hearing the bedroom door open, Dani looks to see Georgie.

"You were abused." Georgie hisses, Dani could hear Amy, Lou and Ty arguing, leaving Dani with Georgie, "What the hell happened, Dani?"

Looking away, not answering, Dani climbs onto Amy's bed.

"The silent treatment? Really? Dani, I'm your sister."

"Go away." Dani snaps.

"This is my room as much as it's Amy's." Georgie points out walking to the other bed in the bedroom. Changing, Dani looks away and lies down. Looking at the door, Dani is lost in memories before feeling someone touch her arm. Flinching before looking, it's Georgie, "Let me see."

"See what?"

"The abuse marks." Georgie states like it's obvious.

"No." Turning away again, Georgie pulls Dani's shirt up but Dani moves away. Seeing the scars and burns, Georgie sees red, "Leave me alone."

"I'm not the one who changed." Georgie whispers sitting down on the bed, "You have."

"Liar."

"I grew up, Dani."

"Into a jerk." Dani comments narrowing her eyes.

"Whatever. You're a lost cause. You fight everything I say! What is the freaking problem you have with me, Dani?!" Georgie shouts making tears and anger appear in Dani's eyes.

"YOU NEVER CAME BACK!" Dani screams before climbing off the bed. Leaving the room, Dani starts to cry. Bumping into someone on her way out of the house, Dani was running. Looking up it is Jack.

"You aren't running away again. Get inside." Jack orders making Dani flinch. Feeling Jack grab her arm, he drags her inside even with her struggling, "Go to Amy or Ty." Dani shakes her head as tears fall making her gasp for air as she chokes, "Amy! Ty!"

Gasping for air, Dani feels dizzy. Collapsing onto the floor, Dani lays there. Hearing running feet, Amy and Ty appear. Immediately jumping into action, Amy scoops Dani up off the floor and holds her to her.

"Breathe in and out. Take long breaths." Amy whispers in Dani's ear. Feeling Dani latch onto her as they sit on the ground, Amy ignores the melting snow from Jack's boots, which are soaking her pants. Dani is the only person and thing that matters. Setting her legs in a 'v' shape, Dani is in the middle of them.

Feeling Dani clench her pant legs, Dani's eyes are closed as she struggles to get air in her lungs. More tears fall from her closed eyes. Stroking Dani's hair, Amy whispers in Dani's ear little orders to get her breathing back to normal.

"We have to take her to the hospital." Ty speaks softly hurrying to pull on his boots as Dani has even more trouble breathing.

"Get the truck started." Amy agrees as Lou glares at Dani but helps Amy into her boots without moving Dani too much. When Ty returns, he picks Dani up talking to her gently so she lets Amy go. Feeling Dani lean into him as Amy grabs Dani's coat and boots before accepting the blanket from Lou.

Sprinting out of the house, Amy is just able to open the door and have one leg in before Ty speeds down the driveway. Closing the door halfway down the driveway, Amy buckles up.

"How is she?" Amy asks looking to Dani who is leaning against Ty. Her eyes are closed but she's breathing, "Dani, can you open your eyes?" Amy questions Dani. Earning her a groan, Dani barely opens her eyes before they close, "Sweetie, lean against me."

Helping Dani to move, Dani's head is too heavy for her. Dani passes out.

"Hurry, Ty." Amy begs as Dani's breathing gets shallower and shallower.

"Call the hospital." Ty orders stepping on the pedal so they speed up.

Doing so, Amy is starting to panic. Ending the call, Dani stops breathing.

"TY!" Amy screams as Ty quickly and carefully stops the trunk and pulls over. Unbuckling Dani and himself, Ty shifts Dani so she is lying down with her head in Amy's lap.

"Call for an ambulance." Ty orders once more. Doing so, Amy watches in horror as Ty begins CPR. Feeling for a pulse, Ty sighs in relief, its beating. Breathing into Dani's mouth, they hear an ambulance and the sirens.

Soon, Ty gets Dani breathing again, but she is still out.

"Dani, can you hear me?" Ty asks stroking Dani's cheek as Amy covers her mouth. Crying, Amy bites back a sob. Hearing nothing, besides her shallow breaths, Ty frowns as tears build in his eyes.

Suddenly, screeching of tires is heard. Looking up paramedics has arrived. Hurrying over to the truck and blocking off the road, both ways, two of the paramedics with a stretcher run over.

"How is she?" The woman asks Ty worried.

"Barely breathing." Ty answers climbing out for the woman to check his daughter over. Once they start to leave with Dani, Ty lets his tears fall. Dani is on an oxygen mask and strapped down on the stretcher with the heart monitor. Dani's heart is strong but her breathing, is a different story. Watching them speed away, Ty buckles up before slowly making his way out of the marked off area.

Picking up the speed, Ty and Amy arrive to the hospital. Parking the car in the parking lot and getting a pass to pay at the machine, Amy hurries out of the truck before running to the emergency doors.

Not hearing what is being said, Ty is honestly terrified. It's like he is numb.

"Ty?" Ty hears Amy's voice, "Ty."

Looking at his fiancée, Ty sighs seeing her sitting down with tears falling. Joining her, Amy explains that Dani is in and the doctor is with her.

"How do you do it?" Ty asks Amy softly; his voice is trembling, "Being so strong and thinking semi-clearly."

"Trust me, Ty, I'm terrified. But we need to be strong for Dani." Amy admits.

Not knowing how long they are there for, it feels like a lifetime, before the doctor comes out.

"Amy, Ty." The doctor calls seeing that they are the only ones there so close to the door. Plus it helps that the doctor knows who they are. It is a small area so people know each other.

"How is she?" Amy asks hurrying over.

"She's sleeping, but we had to sedate her." The doctor, Meredith, frowns.

"Why?" Ty wonders.

"She was hitting and struggling against us. She's scared."

"Obviously." Ty comments, "When can we see her?"

"We are unsure what is wrong with her lungs and what caused her to stop breathing." Meredith ignores Ty, "We will run a few tests to see if it's something serious."

"'If it's something serious'? She freaking stopped breathing!" Ty freaks, "I want to see my daughter!"

"Ty, take a few deep breaths." Amy orders gently. Shooting Amy a glare, Ty does what he is told, "I'm sorry about that."

"That's fine. I'll take you both to her." Doing so, Ty and Amy are looking through the window to observe Dani. Meredith left ten minutes ago to do some rounds.

"Ready?" Amy asks.

"What if I let her down?" Ty whispers, "What if she hates me?"

"She won't. Just wait and see for yourself when she wakes up." Nodding, Ty takes a few deep breaths before opening the hospital room's door. Letting Amy in first, Ty closes the door slowly behind him. Walking over to Dani, Ty sits at the end of the bed. Taking Dani's tiny hand in his, Ty kisses the back of it.

"I'm here, Dani. I won't leave you here alone." Ty promises as Amy strokes Dani's hair. Not knowing how long they sit in silence, they listen to Dani's breaths and how her chest rises and falls in rhythm.

As Dr. Meredith returns she and Dani's nurse take Dani to run a few tests. Meredith told Ty and Amy about the tests but Ty just hopes that Dani wakes and is okay.

Sitting down next to Amy on the floor, Ty wraps his arms around his knees in worry.

"She will pull through." Amy whispers.

"I hope so." Ty agrees.
