Part Two
Belle sat on the couch in the waiting room fidgeting. In front of her, Hope and Bo paced, wondering what was taking so long.
"Stop, you're making me nervous," Belle told them.
"Why haven't we heard anything?"
"We've only been here for 15 minutes, Hope," Belle softly reminded her.
"I thought we would have at least heard about JT by now," Hope said. "What if he's worse off then I thought? And what about Shawn?"
"Calm down, Fancy Face," Bo assured her. "Our sons are both strong. They won't give up without a good fight."
John and Marlena ran in right as Bo said that. John looked slightly jealous for a minute, knowing that JT was in fact his son. Marlena nudged him with her elbow and he realized that he was being a mite selfish.
"Bo, Hope!" Marlena exclaimed as she ran up to them. John rushed to his daughter, who was quick to jump up and brace her arms around her neck. "How are they?" Marlena asked.
"No word yet," Hope replied. She sighed with frustration. Bo rubbed her back as a gesture of understanding. She gave him a weak smile.
"Mr. and Mrs. Brady?" a doctor's voice came from behind. They turned, and saw it was Craig Wesley. "I have news regarding your son."
Belle and John joined Bo, Hope, and Marlena in front of Craig.
"Which son?" Bo asked.
"JT. Why, is Shawn here too?"
"Yes, he got here about five or ten minutes after JT did."
"Oh, well I'm sorry to hear that. Anyway, we treated him for smoke inhalation. He's one lucky kid, the most of what was wrong with him was being frightened."
Hope, Bo, and John all breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Belle noticed her father doing so, but she didn't give it much thought.
"Can we see him?"
"Of course. We're getting ready to release him."
"You're sure that smoke inhalation at his young age won't cause any permanent damage?"
"No, it won't. I would thank the firemen for saving him when they did, he is one lucky little guy." With that Craig walked away.
"Shawn saved him," Hope whispered through her tears. Bo nodded, tears forming in his eyes too.
"Well, come on, Fancy Face, let's go see our son," Bo said, pushing away the tears. Hope nodded and John looked on jealously. Bo turned to Marlena. "Will you let us know if word comes about Shawn?"
"Of course."
At that exact moment Lexie walked out. "Actually," she said to Bo and Hope.
"I have news about him right now."
Hope and Bo immediately turned around and approached Lexie. "Well?" Bo asked, not wanting to wait any longer.
"He took a nasty hit to the head, and we also treated him for smoke inhalation. The worst of his injuries is his left arm, which is burned to the second degree. It should recover nicely. I'm slightly worried about his head injury, we'll have to wait until the test results are in, but I don't think it is too serious. In fact, I think that once he wakes up, he'll be fine."
"Perfectly fine?" Hope smiled.
"Well, with one hell of a headache, but that'll go away in a couple of days.
I haven't gotten the results yet, so that's not confirmed. I'll let you know as soon as they're in."
"Oh, that's great! Thank you!"
"Now, the real question. Who do we go see first?" Bo asked with a huge smile on his face.
"Well, Shawn's still unconscious. Let's go see JT and calm him down."
Belle prayed a prayer of thanks as she sat down. "Now, Lord, be with ME as I work up the nerve to tell Shawn."
"Tell Shawn what, dear?" Marlena asked.
"Oh, nothing," Belle stammered. Marlena just smiled. She knew.
