Chapter Four

"What! What's amazing?" Kendall pressed Anita for answers.

"The bloods.. they are almost identical!" Anita stared in awe at the test results.

"Great! That's great, right?" Kendall asked.

"Yes, we can use some of your blood." Anita answered. "Kendall, are you sure you arn't related to her?"

"As far as I know, I am not related to her." Kendall answered Anita's question.

"The bloods... they are just so, identical. If you want me to run a DNA test I will.. oh, forget it." Anita motioned Kendall to follow her into the blood room. "By the way you were wrong, her name is not Monica, It's Celine."

Kendall stared wide-eyed at Anita for the longest time.

"What do you mean the truth?" Greenly asked Erica.

"You heard me, it's the truth. You are my daughter now, so, I should start treating you like one." Erica answered.

Greenly studied Erica, trying to figure out if this was one big lie. She could not see any signs that she was lieing. "So does this mean I have to treat you like a mother?" Greenly asked.

"Yes, of course!" Erica smiled and led Greenly to the elevator.

"What?" Anita asked as Kendall stared at her like she had two heads. Anita took the blood drawing machien out and put the needle in Kendall's arm.

"Celine, that must be wrong! She told me her name was Monica!" Kendall winced as Anita began drawing blood.

"No, the records say that her name is Celine, why is that a problem?" Anita switched off the machien when she had enough of Kendall's blood.

"Anita.. will you go ahead with the DNA test?" Kendall asked.

Anita gave Kendall a confused look, but nodded as she left the room with the blood.

Kendall sipped the juice the hospital had given her after the blooddrawing. "Celine could be my sister.." Kendall thought. She could hear footsteps outside of the room and Bianca pushed open the door.

"Kendall, they hooked up the blood. Maria thinks that Monica will be just fine." Bianca smiled.

Kendall smiled faintly, although she was happy about the news. "Bianca, there is something I should tell you."

"What..?" Bianca had a concerned expression on her face as she sat down next to Kendall.

"Her name isn't Monica, it's Celine, and, she could be our sister." Kendall told a wide-eyed Bianca.

"Kendall, are you crazy! She can't be!" Bianca said.

"No, I found papers....papers in our mother's desk. She put a baby up for adoption, and that baby's name was Celine Montgomery."

The women could hear their mother's laughing voice from the hallway. Bianca had an angry expression on her face and left the small room in a hurry, with Kendall close behind.

"What are you trying to pull?" Bianca angrily said to Erica, not even noticing that she had interupted her conversation with Greenly.

"What are you talking about Bianca? I was just getting coffee with Greenly."

"No, you no exactly what I am talking about Mother!" Bianca fumed.

"Maybe I should leave.." Greenly trailed as Bianca shot her a deadly glance.

"I have no idea about what you are talking about Bianca!" Erica told her.

"Oh so you had no idea that the girl who took a bullet for you could be your daughter!?" Kendall said as she moved away from the door frame of the blood drawing room.

There was a long silence that suddenly hung over the fighting women.

"How could that be....I," Erica stopped when she saw the looks her daughters had given her,"I mean, her name is Monica not--"

"Celine, her name is Celine." Bianca interrupted.

"Oh, Oh my.." Erica said as she turned slightly pale in the face.

"Well we'll know for sure tomorrow," Kendall told them, "Anita is running a DNA test."

Suddenly, Maria burst out of the hospital Emergency Room with a glowing smile on her face. "Celine is awake, if you want to see her!" Maria said with a hint of excitement hanging in her voice.

Erica shot a glance towards Kendall. "Thank you, Thank you so much Maria!" Kendall thanked her. She was so happy she could hug Maria, but she didn't. Instead, she whisked into the Emergency Room. Kendall pushed open the door and gentally tapped the door with her fist.

"Celine is it okay If I come in?" Kendall asked softly.

"Sure oh..." Celine replied as she gripped her head. An aching pain had struck, but she still noticed what Kendall had called her.

Kendall entered the hospital room and let the door shut silently behind her. "Yes I know about your name kido." Kendall answered the unasked question.

"You arn't mad that I lied, are you?" Celine asked, her voice slightly weak.

"No, we are just glad you are okay! You gave us all a little scare!" Kendall replied lightly.

Celine replied with a forced smile. Celine's eyes widened largely as she cast a glace at Kendall's soaked shirt. "Kendall, you were hit too!?" Celine said as she quickly sat up, ignoring the head rush it gave her.

"Whoa, Whoa, Lie back down you need your rest." Kendall said in concern as she shot out and helped the poor girl lie back down. "This is..," Kendall stopped, remembering how the dreadful sound of the gunshot made her feel, "This is all your blood."

"I bled that much?" Celine said as she gawked at Kendall's shirt. "Im sorry about that.."

"Sorry?" Kendall asked as she sat on the edge of Celine's blue hospital bed. "You saved my life, and my mother's. We are all so thankful that you had the courage to do something so brave and dareing."

Celine blushed, but somehow it made her face turn a shade whiter than before"Oh it was nothing really, I mean, what would you have done? I had to do something to protect my new fam--friends.." Celine corrected herself quickly.

"Celine, what do you know that I don't?" Kendall asked with a curious expression forming on her face.

"N-Nothing, I just--" Celine was cut off as Erica quickly strode into the room.

"Oh Celine your alright, That's great news!" Erica said brightly as she stood next to where Kendall sat.

Celine nodded as she flashed Erica a weak smile. "I am glad to see you two are okay" Celine told them truthfully.

"I hope you get out of this hospital soon, Kendall and I got to talking." Erica smiled, she knew exactly what Kendall was going to ask Celine.

"And I would like you to stay with me, as long as you like." Kendall finished for her mother.

Celine smiled again, as big and as bright her condition would let her. "Sure, Okay! As long as you don't mind, of course." Celine answered eagerly.

"Mind? We both owe it to you!" Kendall said, excited too. She always wondered like what it would be like to take care of a kid, even if it could be her own sister.

"Okay visiting time is over. My little patient needs her rest!" Maria said as she walked into the room almost soundlessly.

"How long will she be in here?" Erica asked.

"About a day or two, or untill she feels strong enough to go out." Maria answered as she buisied herself as she checked the moniters to see if Celine was doing well.

"Thank you so much Maria." Kendall said as she she smiled at Celine and Maria both and left the room followed by Erica.

"She looks a lot like you, you know." Bianca said to her mother as she peered through the door just as Kendall and Erica came through it. Celine had curly brown locks and brown eyes, just like most of the Kane children.

"I suppose so.." Erica answered, not in a hurry to admit that it could be her daughter.

"Are you kidding! She's the spitting image of you!" Greenly too had glanced at the girl, but admitatly shut up because of the look of daggers that Erica gave her.

"Aunt Kendall!" Miranda seemed to have appeared from nowhere at Kendall's side."What, kid-o?" Kendall answered Miranda.

"Who is that girl? And what is going on? I have been totally left out in the dark about all of this!" Miranda fumed.

Kendall shot a glace towards Bianca and saw her sister shaking her head.

"Well, Miranda.. This girl got shot, and, we are just.. taking care of her for now." Kendall told the half-truth.

Miranda bit her lip, then smiled. "Well I hope she is okay! Im just off to the.. lunch room, for a drink." Miranda said as she trotted off untill she was out of sight, but the hospital door was still in plain sight. "Fine if they don't want to tell me then I'll find out on my own." Miranda thought.

"I think we should all go out for some fresh air!" Miranda could here Erica saying.

Miranda watched the women file out of the waiting room, and out of the outer doors. She quickly slipped out of the hallway she was hiding in and slipped into the Emergency Room where Celine lay. "Hello, are you Celine? I'm Miranda." Miranda asked the pale faced girl.

"Yes , I am Celine.." Celine answered, curiosity hanging in her voice.

"I'm Kendall's neice, and Bianca Montgomery's daughter." Miranda properly introduced herself.

"Montgomery... Oh yeah, I've met Kendall, and Erica, but not your mother." Celine answered.

"Oh." Miranda answered. There was a short silence, only to be broken by Miranda. "How do you know them?" She asked.

"I just met them this morning." Celine answered.

"Miranda!" Miranda whirrled around as she heard her name being called. It was her Aunt Kendall.

"Oh hi Aunty Kendall!" Miranda said brightly, trying to figure out if she was in trouble or not.

"Save it, im not going to punish you this time. Your mother is leaving now and she wants you to go with her." Kendall said to Miranda.

"Well, okay. Bye Celine, get well soon!" Miranda said brightly as she skipped out of the room.

"That kid.. Celine I think I am going to head home too, Will you be alright here by yourself?" Kendall asked.

"Yes I'll be fine." Celine answered and saw Kendall exit the room. She layed her head down on the pillow and fell asleep.

(A/N: I Lost my disk --; So i am very sorry for the long update! I am already typing the next chapter so that one WILL come soon, how do you think about a Miranda/James couple or maybe a Miranda/James/Celine love triangle?)
