AN: Sorry it took so long to update.on vacation and I've been busy.
*winks* Anyways thanks for the reviews.here's the next part!
J.R. walked into Chandler estate with Darian in his arms. He took her over and laid her her soaked form on the couch.
"Winifred!" He called.
The faithful maid quickly came in the room. "Oh my god!"
"Can you get me some dry clothes and the first aid kit?"
"Right away."
J.R. sat on the edge of the couch next to this ill fallen girl. "Darian, wake up," He gently patted her cheek.
"J.R.?"
He looked up and saw Babe standing by the stairs.
"Good, Babe you can help me. I need you to get me a blanket."
"Who's this?" She asked crossing her arms over her chest.
"A friend of mine," J.R. lied. "She's got into some trouble so I brought her back here."
Babe stood there.
"Would you please get me a blanket?"
She rolled her eyes and walked up the stairs just as Winifred came back with the clothes and first aid kit.
"Thanks Winifred." J.R. took out the gauze and some saline. He saturated the bandages with the water and gently pressed it against her forehead.
"Would you like me to call an ambulance Mr. Chandler?"
"No Winifred, I'll take care of everything thank you."
Darian began to stir as Babe came down stairs. Winifred, realizing that she wasn't needed at the moment, left the room.
"Here's the blanket you wanted."
"Thanks," He took it from his wife and wrapped it around Darian.
Darian's eyes fluttered and finally opened.
"Welcome back," J.R. said with a soft smile.
At first Darian's heart was racing. She had no idea where she was or who these people were. It took a minute but she finally recognized J.R.
"Where am I?"
"You're at Chandler Estate, my home."
Darian started to sit up, but J.R. pushed her back down. "Take it easy. You've got a fever. You need to rest."
She shook her head. "No, I need to get out of here."
"Who's stoppin' ya?" Babe asked. She never met the girl, but she didn't like her. With all the friction in her and J.R.'s marriage she didn't need another woman coming in to mess things up.
Darian glared at her. "And you are?"
"Babe," She replied with hostility. "J.R.'s wife."
"Aren't you special," She stated sarcastically.
Darian pushed J.R. away from her and sat up.
"Excuse me?" Babe questioned angrily. "And you the hell are you?"
"Babe!" J.R. yelled. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Don't worry Barbie; I'll be out of your way in a minute." Darian stood up on shaky knees, that weren't too strong yet.
"Darian you need to rest. If you go out there you're going to wind up passed out on the streets somewhere and who knows what could happen to you?"
"Nothing worse than what's already happened I'm sure." She staggered about three steps when her knees buckled.
"Whoa!" J.R. called out as he caught her. "That's it you're going to the hospital." He lowered her back to the couch.
"No," She huffed. "I can't."
"Why not?" Babe asked rudely. "Cops after you or something?"
"That's enough," Suddenly J.R. felt like he was scolding a child. "Look get on the phone and called David Hayward."
"You're not going to take her to the hospital?"
"No, go call him!"
She threw up her hands in frustration. "Fine, whatever." She walked out of the room.
"Sorry about that," J.R. said sitting next to Darian. "Babe can be ruthless sometimes."
"Who's David Hayward?" Darian asked ignoring J.R.'s speech about Babe.
"David is a doctor."
Her jaw dropped. "I am so out of here!" She started to get up, but J.R. grabbed her arm and pulled her back down. It wasn't very hard considering how weak she was.
"Relax, he doesn't work at the hospital and he won't go to the cops."
"How can you be so sure?"
He smirked. "I've known David for a long time. Trust me, everything will be fine."
Darian stared at him skeptically. It had been so long since she trusted anyone. Now, this total stranger was asking her to do so? If it was her choice she'd leave, but she was too weak. The only other option was to deal with this David guy.
Babe came back in the room. "David's on his way. Anything else I can do?"
"Go back to your Barbie dream house," Darian said.
"As opposed to your homeless shelter?"
Darian went to stand and J.R. once again grabbed her.
"Will you both stop it? Darian you're in no condition to be fighting and Babe." He sighed. "I thought you'd have more compassion considering the state I found you in when we first met."
Babe knew if she stayed on this track that J.R. would get mad at her. She didn't need that right now. She sleekly walked around the couch and sat on the other side of him. "I'm sorry, it's just with everything that's going on with Jamie right now I'm a little on edge."
"Just calm down all right?"
Babe looked past J.R. and smiled ever so sweetly at Darian. "Sorry about that, but my hormones are raging. See I'm pregnant."
"Congratulations," Darian replied without feeling.
Before Babe could respond the doorbell rang. "I'll get that." She walked to the door and a moment later returned with David.
"David thank god you're here," J.R. said getting up and shaking his hand.
"What's going on?" He asked glancing over at Darian.
"I found her on the beach. She's running a fever and is a little banged up."
"Uh huh and why doesn't she want to go to the hospital?"
Darian put a hand to her head. "Why don't you two stop acting like I'm not in the room?"
"If this is a hassle just say so I'll leave."
David walked over and sat next to her. "What's your name?"
"Darian."
"You're pretty banged up. What happened?"
He took out a light pen and checked her pupils.
"What do you care?"
"Don't worry about that Doc; just tell them I'm square to leave."
David started inspecting the wound on her head. "I'd love to do that Darian, but you've got a concussion. Leaving now would only put you at risk for more and worse injuries."
She pushed away from David. "I'm fine." Darian stood up and twirled around for emphasis. "See? I'm fine."
They all watched as her face went ghost white. Darian felt her head swimming and then the world went black. The last thing she remembered was someone catching her as she fell.

"Are you sure she's your daughter?" Joe asked.
He and Tad were sitting in his office. Tad had gone over the events of the last few hours, and his history with Rose. Joe was surprised to say the least, but then again this was Tad "The Cad" Martin they were talking about.
"No, I'm not, but it is a possibility," Tad replied. "If I could find her I'd do a DNA test, but she ran off. She was so upset. She's got it stuck in her mind that I abandoned her mother."
"Did you?"
"WHAT, NO! Rose sent me home. I.well at the time I didn't want to come back. It was her idea."
Joe nodded. "I see."
"Dad, I.."
"You don't have to explain it to me, but if you want my honest opinion I think you'd better go after her."
"I don't know where to look."
"Tad, I'm surprised at you. You're a private detective. Do what you do best."
Tad smiled. "Thanks dad." He stood up and started for the door. "I gotta go."
