After lounging in Chloe's tent for quite a while, Brady and Chloe decided to make their way to the hospital to see Belle. She was in a hospital bed surrounded by members of the hospital staff asking her questions about her journey. She shook her head and cooly said that she wouldn't speak of it yet. Shawn frowned and tried to get them to go about their business.

"She needs her rest, aren't you guys supposed to know that?" he said, irritably. He was being extremely protective of her, but Chloe didn't know why.

"Well, some of us, Shawn Douglas Brady, haven't been able to rest at all with worry. So I'll ask her what I want." Chloe said laughing. She ran up to him and gave him a huge hug. "And now, to yell at you. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?"

"Well, you said that you missed Brady..." Belle said, finally smiling.

"Cut the crap, I know you didn't go find Brady for me. I was worried sick. Are you okay? Really okay, because this is me we're talking about. You can tell me if you aren't."

"I'm just tired. And hungry. I've got a broken arm and a cracked rib. Lucky, but just not lucky enough. Another rib and they might have sent me home." Chloe laughed, but she wished that they would have. Belle shouldn't be in a place like this. Belle should be at home married with a nice job at a hospital delivering babies. Hell, she should be having babies. War wasn't a place for people like her and brady. It wasn't a place for anyone she knew. Greta came over to see Belle.

"I need to speak with you Belle. They sent a telegraph to your family telling them you were shot down and presumed missing in action. I can let you call your family to let them know that you are fine."

"Thank you, Greta. That's very kind."

"Chloe, you may have the rest of the day off. Enjoy it. I know how hard you've been working the past few days and I appreciate it. It must have been very hard for you."

"You have no idea." She smiled as the older woman walked away. Belle yawned. "You should sleep more."

"I would if I wasn't so hungry. Even food from the mess tent sounds good today."

"You must be hungry. No one craves a mushy tuna fish sandwich."

"I need a coke too. God, I swear that's all I could think about in the jungle."

"Tell you what, you go to sleep and we'll go to the mess tent and bring you something back. And I'm not taking no for an answer. We're taking Shawn with us."

"I want to talk to Brady for a minute, Chloe, please?" Shawn looked from Brady to Belle, hurt at her words. She smiled a reassuring smile at Shawn.

"I think that's a fine idea. Shawn and I will be waiting just outside for you, handsome." Shawn looked worried as Chloe led him away from his Belle.

"Chloe, I missed you."

"Shawn, I missed you too. So, what's going on with you and Belle? You seem awfully protective of her."

"Chloe, you are going to think I'm crazy, but I'm in love with her. I am head over heels for her. From the moment I layed eyes on her, covered in mud, humming a little tune and limping right along, I have fell inexplicably drawn to her."

"Shawn Brady, I do not think you're crazy. You, Brady and I have been friends for a while now. You've been Brady's best friend since you were both in diapers. If you say you're in love with her, than I believe you."

"She doesn't feel the same, she's probably telling Brady right now she loves him."

"I have no doubt that she loves Brady, but it isn't what you're thinking."

"What do you mean, Chloe?"

"It's not my place to tell you, Shawn. You'll have to ask her yourself. But she's not in love with Brady, that I can promise you. Not with the way she looks at you."

Meanwhile

"So, Brady, I suppose you wonder why I asked to talk to you."

"I'm a little curious yes." Brady was afraid to divulge that his girlfriend couldn't keep a secret. He decided to let her tell him.

"There's really no way to put this. I'm just going to be blunt, I guess. I'm.... well, you're.... we're..... you are my brother Brady. Your father is my father. My mother is Marlena."

"You're my sister? I have a sister? I've always wanted a sister."

"You have?"

"Of course, I grew up with no brothers or sisters. Just me and shawn."

"You grew up with Shawn. Does he have a girlfriend back home?"

"Does my baby sister have a crush?"

"Brady! You dont' have to tease me just because you found out that I'm your sister."

"No, I would have teased you anyway. Nope, Shawn doesn't have a girlfriend. He's in love with someone though."

"He is? Is it Chloe?"

"No, Chloe is my girlfriend, Shawn would never do that. It's you."

"Did he tell you that?"

"He didn't have to." Just then, Greta showed up with a wheelchair to take Belle to phone her mother. Brady smiled and hugged her. "I love you, Belle"

"I love you too, Brady."
