By now, Shelby and Jess had been brought in the emergency room after coming off of the helicopter and getting through the two different news cameras there covering the story of the lost sisters that had been running on the news the past 24 hours. They had been checked over, then both placed in the P.I.C.U. Jess had pneumonia and a bronchial infection. She was put on rapid warmed fluids, antibiotics, oxygen, and placed under a warmer sheet due to hypothermia. Shelby was worse off. Along with the two IVs in both arms like Jess, she had 20 stitches put in her head, a cast on her wrist, and under a warmer sheet. (you know, the kind that looks like a flat blow up raft that circulates warmed air through it). Both girls were on heart monitors watching their hearts for any distress. Shelby was also diagnosed comatose, in a Light Coma stage. Her head had some swelling around her brain; they gave her drugs to try to reduce it.
By the time Scott and Sophie got there, they were both in the P.I.C.U. for a short time in a glass sliding door room with the light glowy lights over head. They both looked even paler under them.
"Oh dear God...Shelby?" Scott cried out softly, Niagara Scott tears falling.
"How are they?" he asked Peter, who was seated just across from them, but in between them so he could watch over both of them.
"Jess has pneumonia and a bronchial infection. She's dehydrated and hypothermic. She'll recover. Shelby....she's in a coma. Fractured wrist, brain swelling, hypothermic, and dehydrated. They don't know about her." Peter said in an even voice staring straight at the girls. Sophie covered her mouth in shock, eyes filling with tears. She quickly sank to the chair next to Peter. Scott got REALLY upset then.
"No..N-noo! HOW could they SEND her back there!? LOOK what it did to her!" He cried quietly, tears falling over his cheeks.
"I'm sorry, Scott. I tried!" Peter said, defeated. Scott slowly stepped over to Shelby, making sure not to disturb the heating blanket or any of the many tubes and wires. The monitors beeped rhythmically and the oxygen leading to her nose whirled softly as she very slowly took breaths. He gently took her good hand being careful of the I.V.
"Shelby? It's me Scott. I'm here now. You have to wake up so I can see your beautiful smile. So I now that you're going to be okay. Jess is going to be fine; she's right here next to you. .Shel.no more running. Peter and Sophie are here and they're awfully worried about you. So you have to stop worrying them by waking up, or they might give you shuns. Okay? Please?! Baby, you have to wake up!" Scott said finally falling apart. He sat down right next to her holding her hand. Scott stayed there well into the late night and early morning. Sophie just told the nurses that he was her fiancé so they wouldn't kick him out when visiting hours closed. Peter and Sophie were allowed to stay because they were the guardians at the moment.
Peter finally got Scott away from Shelby's side around 4am in the morning to get something to eat. Sophie stayed with the girls.
"Daisy's coming in a couple of hours with Shelby and Jess's mom. And the police." Peter explained on the way to the cafeteria.
"They can't arrest her! Come on Peter, help her out!" Scott said getting very upset.
"They just want a statement." Peter tried to explain.
"Bull****! They are not going to bother with my Shelby with all that and if they even dare try waking Jessabell up they'll have to arrest ME when I'm through!" Scott said warningly. Peter smiled at that.
"As long as we're both on the same page then." Peter said patting him on the back. Scott looked at Peter surprised then smiled. He knew Peter cared about Shelby like his own daughter.
"A little possessive with the whole 'MY' bit, don't you think?" Peter said with a smile as they got some sandwiches.
"Nope." Scott responded as he grabbed an apple and headed to the pay counter.

The cops never got a chance to come in the girls' room, anyway. Not with Peter and Sophie there. Scott and Daisy were close behind them. Mrs. Merrick was all teared up when she stepped back out with the cops.
"When they wake up, tell them I love them and that I'm so sorry." She said as they watched the cops put her in cuffs and take her away. Daisy and Scott watched in shock.
"What's going on Peter?" Daisy asked confused. Peter looked a little relieved as he pulled them outside the room to explain.
" Apparently she confessed to everything about Walt. She's in trouble for being aware of it and not reporting it or trying to stop it. It's a form of child abuse." Peter explained.
"So, they weren't here to arrest Shelby?" Scott asked in a rush.
"Nope. They just had to report the girls' conditions and were hoping that maybe Jess would be able to speak a few words about what happened. But she'd more or less told me everything when we found them in the woods. Daisy, Auggie, and David are witnesses. That's all they need. Just need to get it all on paper." Peter said with a hopeful smile. Scott sighed thankfully. He went back in and sat by Shelby holding her hand again. They'd taken the heating blankets off the girls by now and just had them under regular blankets now. They just looked like they were sleeping. Well, Jess was anyway. She could wake up whenever she wanted. She just slept because of her exhaustion. Shelby couldn't wake up. No matter how much Scott pleaded to her. He didn't even know if she could hear him.
Just before Scott drifted off to sleep laying his head and arms gently by Shelby's side, holding her hand, he made a promise to her.
"Shelby? I don't know if you hear me but I promise never to leave your side again. I'll fight for you, so you have to fight too. . I love you." He whispered to her, kissing her temple then nestled down next to her, holding her hand.
I love you too, Scott! Don't give up on me! Shelby thought back as she lay there unable to respond. She had been able to hear everything the whole time. She just couldn't respond. She drifted off to sleep once again, from the comfort of having Scott right by her.
