A/N: Hey I am SOOOOOOO sorry it has taken me so long to update this story. My computer got hit with a ton of different viruses and I've been gone for three weeks to visit my sister in Kodiak, Alaska. So I've haven't really had any time. But don't worry I'll have this story done before September :) Then I'll begin to type up part two, "Just Another Day in Paradise".

Chapter 11: Confessions

Adam was trying to find out any information on the two girls and was filling out some paper work. Brennan was pacing around the waiting area, with coffee that was getting cold. Jesse was settled in the fairest corner, of the waiting room, quite as ever.

After all the paper was filled out Adam walked over to Brennan, "So how is he?"

"Still the same. He's been like this ever since he got into the car."

"How are you doing?"

"Been better. This past couple of days have been so fun, you know? But now its a total nightmare."

"Yes I know. I hope they'll be ok."

After a long three hours of a stressful wait a doctor, around his late fifties, came walking up to Adam. They were old friends who went back many years. Once Jesse saw the doctor he came running up to him.

"How are they?" he said with so much concern.

"Both of them will be fine."

"Thank god." Brennan said exhaling

"Can we see them?"

"Yes you can, but they might be asleep still. They are in room 201." Jesse doubled timed his slow walk, to a fast pace, with Brennan right on his heals.

The doctor looked at Adam with a bit of confusion. "They have been very worried about them." Adam said.

"How about you Adam? How are you holding up?"

"I'll be much better when I see them and after I look over their reports."

"Well lets go see them." The two old friends started to walk to the room where the two wounded women lay.

Once they got there, Shalimar was sitting up and Brennan sat by the bed. But across the room, settled in a chair, was Jesse waiting for the one he love to wake from the sleep that had a strong hold on her. He held her hand that was unharmed, and he was moving the few strains of hair that fallen in her face. When Adam walked in, his eyes met with Jesse's, and his heart broke into pieces. Jesse's eyes was filled with so much fear and sadness, something Adam had never seen in his eyes before. Adam walked over to Brennan and Shalimar.

"Hey how are you doing?" Adam asked

"Like I've been hit by a car." She said with a little smile, "Trying to look on the bright side. I'm glad that we didn't die."

"Well nothing is broken or serious damage. But you do have a few burses and sore muscles. So you'll have to take it easy." The Doctor informed.

"How is Emma." Brennan asked.

"Her right arm and leg are broken, some bruised ribs, and a small concision. But she is very lucky. Many people who've been in an accented like that, aren't that lucky."

"How long until we are able to leave?" Shal asked.

"A few weeks for you and depending how Emma holds up about the same. I'll leave you guys alone." The doctor said leaving the room, and shutting the door behind him.

"Shalimar what happened?" Adam asked as he took a set.

"Well I was talking to Emma, about what she was thinking. After a little bit of convincing, she told me. I couldn't believe her, and I guess I turned and faced her for a moment to make sure I heard what I thought I heard. Then Emma screams, "Shal watch out" I look back at the road to see a big rig heading my way. So natural I swerve to avoid a collision only to hit another car."

"Shal what did Emma say that made you look at her?" Since took over her. She didn't look at the two men, instead she looked a pone Jesse.

Keeping her eyes a pone Jesse she said, "Emma said she was thinking about Jesse."

"What?" Jesse said very quietly as he turned his head to face Shalimar.

"She was thinking of you Jess. She was thinking about you when we hit the car." Jesse was in disbelieve. Even when she could have died, she was thinking about the man who was a jerk to her this very morning.

"Jesse, she loves you."

He turned his head back to the woman who loved him. Many things raced through his head. Like what if she never wakes up and then he could never tell her how he feels about her. Or if she dose wake up, should he tell her right then and there that he loves her or should he wait until she comes back home. He wasn't sure. What if Shal was wrong? What if she didn't like him? What if she was just thinking how big of a jerk he was? All these 'What if' or 'Should I' was driving him mad.

Shalimar saw the confusion in his eyes. Turning to Brennan she gave him a look, a look Brennan knew. She wanted to talk to Jesse alone. Brennan walked over to Adam and motioned to the door with a little head nod. Getting up, the two men headed out the door, leaving only Shalimar, Jesse and the sleeping Emma.

"Jesse...are you ok? Jesse talk to me, please."

"Shal are you sure she likes me?"

"Jesse she doesn't like you, she loves you."

"How do you know? You said it your self, she was only thinking about me. I think about you, Brennan and Adam, but it doesn't mean I love you."

"Jesse no girl thinks about a guy that much if she doesn't love him, Trust me."

"Ok." Jesse said turning his attention back to Emma.

After thinking for a bit, Jesse slowly got up. He headed to the door, but before he opened it, he walked over to Shalimar and kissed her on the cheek.

"Thank you." He said in a whisper. Then he left the room. Shutting the door behind him. "Brennan can I have my keys?"

"Sure." Reaching into his pocket, he grabbed the keys and gave them to Jesse. "Where are you going?"

"I just need to get something." With that Jesse left the hospital.
