They called down Sophie who was upstairs with Jess for the night. Daisy and Peter were at the very close hotel room the hospital provides for long term patient's family members. They used it when it gets too late to attempt to drive back to Horizon even though it wasn't too far away. Sophie came through the door in a rush all wide eyed and almost in tears.
"Hey, Soph." Shelby said whispishly smiling at her with a twinkle in her eyes.
"Oh! Thank You God!" Sophie whispered, the tears of joy finally falling. She went over and hugged Shelby gently for a long moment.
"You came back to us!" Sophie said happily as she tenderly held Shelby's face. She kissed Shelby's forehead, but not too close to her stitches. (Just picture like Ashley Judd's character on Where The Heart Is movie with Natalie Portman).
"Yep. And I want outta here. Oh, and...WHEN did I get engaged? 'Cause I KNOW I was in a coma, but this isn't a real life version of 'While You Where Sleeping'. I'm flattered, really, but..a girl would like to be PRESENT for that moment in her life, don'cha think?" Shelby said, going back to her old self. Scott and Sophie just laughed. Sophie shook her head and tried to explain.
"HE would never leave your side and the hospital wasn't about to let him stay so instead of getting him thrown out of her physically by the nurses and possibly in a jail cell, me and Peter thought it would be okay if we fudged it a little. Who's counting right? I have a feeling it'll happen sooner or later, right?" Sophie explained smiling the whole time. Shelby's eyes just twinkled her heart leaping for Scott. Yep, most definitely sooner probably!
"Um, you'll probably be okay to leave the ICU in a day or two, but you're stuck in the hospital for at least 4 or 5 more days. But you could still surprise us." The doctor said when Shelby just about bit his head off when he walked in. Shelby nodded understanding finally.
"I'm wide awake! How am I gonna go back to sleep now?" Shelby asked once everyone left and got settled.
"Well, what do you feel like doing, Shel?" Sophie asked. Shelby's eyes flashed and she grinned.
"I know what she wants! A big, fat, juicy burger with curly fries and a huge strawberry malt! Am I close?" Scott asked, smiling like a fool in love.
"Perfect! Oh, please, please can I have it! I'm SOO hungry!" Shelby whined hoarsely, sticking out her lower lip.
It was just too pathetic.
"Sure, I'll have Peter and Daisy bring it. They're here tonight." Sophie said, reaching for the phone.
"Peter AND Daisy are here?!" Shelby asked, surprised.
"Yep..Here! You talk to him, I dialed already!" Sophie said getting a mischievous grin on her face. She handed Shelby the phone and waited.
It rang almost 5 times before Peter picked it up and speaking groggily.
"H-Hello?" came his mumbly voice.
"Hey captain! Can you get me a big hamburger with those curly fries and a big strawberry malt? To go would be nice and step on it, I'm STARVING!" Shelby said, trying her hardest to keep a straight voice. It was too much.
"Ohmiga!.. SHELBY!?! You're awake?!" He said, fully awake now, with Daisy glued to his every word since he spoke her name.
"Yeah, and I'm in serious need of nourishment! So, will you get me my food?" Shelby said, only half playing around. Girl was HUNGARY!
"Yeah, we'll be right there! Burger, curly, and strawberry correct?" He went back over quickly.
"Perfect captain, thanks! Say hi to Dais for me K? I know she's probably breathing down your neck right now! Bye!" Shelby said smiling then breaking into giggles when she hung up.
"You're horrible, Shel." Sophie said, smiling the whole time. Peter and Daisy came with her food, which she wolfed down, much to the nurses' dismay. She also called up to her sister's room to talk to her for awhile. All four of them eventually fell asleep in the morning, Shelby the last one as she looked around the room at the wonderful people she now had in her life. She sure wasn't gonna take them for granted anymore. If it weren't for her past, she'd almost say her life was perfect. Yet again, if it weren't for her past, she never would have ended up at Horizon and never would have met Peter and Sophie and the rest of the Cliffhangers.
Or Scott.
She smiled at her 'fiancé' and gently stroked his head that was now resting on her stomach with his hands wrapped around her good arm and waist. She dozed off completely at peace. All she needed now was to see her sister. That would make it all 'perfect'.
