A/N...This chapter is really, really short!! SORRY!! It's just that everything follows this one, so I couldn't very well put it in the same chapter!! Hehe!! Please review, and I thank everyone that has read my story up to this point!!!
Chapter 27: The Developments
"Well, Miss Merrick. You are progressing well, much better than we thought you would. Though we were going to hold you a few more days, I think that you can leave tomorrow. Of course, you will have to take it easy, but I am sure that by the care of your attentive friends that you will be just fine." The doctor came into Shelby's room bright and early the next morning to deliver the message. There was no better way to start off the day than with a bit of good news.
The look on Shelby's face could scarcely portray the pure bliss she felt inside. Leaving the hospital meant that she and Scott were finally going to be able to share their news with their friends. Besides, she had been in that hospital bed long enough, and was beginning to show traits like Juliette, as she avoided eating the grotesque food that they put before her.
Scott poked his head through the door just as soon as the doctor left, and smiled as he saw Shelby's face beaming. "What did the doctor want?" he asked.
"This is my last day here. I can go home tomorrow," she replied happily.
"So we can tell them?"
Grinning, Shelby said, "Yes, but tomorrow. Not while we are here. I think I know how." Scott laughed as he saw that certain sparkle in her eye. He loved it when she looked like that, and was glad it was back. "Can you get Daisy for me? I want her to be in on it."
Scott nodded and headed out the door to find Daisy, who was not too far away. As he led her into Shelby's room, she wondered what the big deal was, but knew not to question it.
"Well, well, well. What's going on in here?" Daisy asked as she closed the door and saw the smiles on her friends' faces. "Something's up. Spill it."
"They're letting me go home tomorrow."
"Oh, Shel, that's great! Wait...that means that you two are gonna..." Daisy said, as her voice trailed off.
Shelby started to tell her the plan. "Tomorrow, dinner is at my house okay?" They both nodded and Shelby continued to tell them how the evening would play out and what each of them had to do. They both loved the plan, and hoped that the outcome would turn out as great as they had intended it to. They were going to do some serious fooling.
