CHAPTER 12
Daisy helped Scott walk towards the dorm.
Sc : You know something Daisy ?
D : Yeah. I know everything.
Sc : How could Shelby have told you. I thought she wasn't ready for that and…
D : It's a long story and she'll explain it to you but lets just say I found her pregnancy test so she couldn't lie anymore and she told me everything.
Sc : You didn't tell anybody ?
D : Scott who do you think I am ? Of course I didn't tell any one about this. Shelby's not ready to speak yet and I respect that.
They arrived in front of the dorm and Daisy let Scott go in alone. Shelby didn't even hear the door open because she was sleepy and still crying. Scott went next to her and sat on a close bed.
Sc : Shelby.
S : Please go away, I just would like to be alone for a while.
Sc : Shelby it's me Scott.
Shelby took her head out of the pillow and turned to Scott. She then made a small smile but he could see she'd been crying. He wiped her tears away.
S : Oh Scott it's you !
Sc : Yep it's me. Are you feeling better ?
S : Yeah.
Sc : Why are you crying ?
S : It's too much for me to handle Scott, it's too hard !
Sc : Don't worry I'm here.
S : What are we gonna do now ? I mean with the baby, and here in Mt Horizon !
Sc : First we have to decide about the baby and second we have to tell Peter and Sophie plus the others.
S : What do you mean deciding about the baby ?
Sc : Well I mean if we'll keep it or not.
S (angrily) : You're not trying to say you don't want us to have this baby, are you ?
Sc : Calm down Shelby !
S : How can I calm down ? You just said you'd like me to have an abortion.
Sc : Shelby that's not what I said. You misunderstood. Of course I'd like to have this baby, with you ! But I didn't know if you wanted the same thing.
S : Oh, okay. I'm sorry I didn't want to yell on you. Of course I want this baby.
They exchanged a tender look and Scott kissed her.
S : I love you so much Scott.
Sc : And I love you too !
She kissed him back. This kiss was more passionate this time. Both were relieved. Then Shelby stopped kissing and thought about telling him about Daisy finding the pregnancy test and the thought of someone else having found it either.
Sc : What is it Shelby ? Why did you stop ?
S : Um…
Scott noticed the fear on her face and he wanted to reassure her.
Sc : Look if it's about Daisy knowing for us I know.
S : How… why… ?
Sc : She helped me come here and she told me.
S : Okay. Wait, why did she have to help you walk here ?
Scott showed her his legs.
S : Oh my God, what happened to you ?
Sc : I fell in a hole.
S : Are you ok ?
Sc : Yeah, that's just bruises and scars but nothing serious.
He didn't want to scary her by telling him he was unconscious for a moment, why had he run away… So he just told her about the hole and that's it. He didn't want to explain anything else. She still looked scared and this time he didn't know why.
S : Um, ok… um… what did Daisy tell you.
Sc : Only that she had found your pregnancy test and when she told you you couldn't lie anymore.
S : Yeah that's true. But there's something else.
It was now Scott's turn to be scared. Shelby could read fear on his face.
Sc : What else ? Tell me now !
S : She didn't find it at the place I had left it so someone must have found it also but we don't know who.
Sc : Oh my God.
S : I know. But we'll find out.
Sc : Did you notice Peter or Sophie or anyone else acting weirdly ?
S : No. You ?
Sc: Neither. Then who could it be ?
S : I really have no idea.
At that time Peter and Sophie were in the lodge talking about Shelby and Scott. They both explained how it happened in the woods and here with Shelby. While they were talking the phone began ringing. Peter took the call.
