Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing.

Note: I got a lot of reviews about how chapter 5 isn't there, and I saw that it's like blank. I have a feeling it was cut because the end had Hunter and Kelly getting intimate. I thought I had kept it from being bad, not being very descriptive and ending the chapter just as it began, but I guess someone took offense to it anyway and reported the chapter. Anyway, I'm sorry you guys went to read chapter 5 and saw nothing there, but I'm pretty sure ch. 6 gave you an idea of what went on. Also, sorry for not updating in a while. I'll try to be better about it in the future. Enjoy chapter 7.

Two weeks passed and there was no change in Blake's condition, but there was a change between Hunter and Kelly. The two never spoke to each other. Even when Hunter, Kelly and Tori were all sitting with Blake, the two of them didn't share a word. Occasionally, Kelly would look over at Hunter, but would quickly look away as soon as he noticed her eyes on him. Hunter wished he could take back what transpired between them, do something to remedy the situation, but he was too preoccupied in worrying about his brother. It was getting close to the third week that they all had been at Blake's side, waiting for any change when Kelly started to feel ill.

Kelly sat by the toilet in the bathroom of the room she was sharing with Tori. She panted as she had just finished throwing up for the third time that day. She weakly lifted her hand up and pulled down the lever, flushing the toilet. She tore off some toilet paper from the roll and wiped at her chin and mouth before setting her head down, letting her forehead rest on the cool surface of the porcelain toilet seat. She closed her eyes as she took a few deep breaths. A knock on the door brought her to attention.

"Kelly?" Came Tori's voice from outside. "You okay?" Tori had done her best to tend to her friend these past few days but Kelly knew that it was just putting more stress on the already haggard blonde.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Kelly said softly. She sighed and pulled herself up to her feet. She rinsed her mouth out at the sink before opening the door and walking out of the bathroom. Tori took Kelly's arm and walked her to her bed. Kelly gave Tori a grateful smile and laid down. Tori sat down beside her. She reached down and placed her hand on Kelly's forehead, checking for a fever. Kelly didn't feel warm.

"Have you thought about going to see a doctor?" Tori asked. Kelly sighed.

"It's probably nothing. Just stress or something I ate." Kelly assured her as she rested her head on her pillows. "Don't worry about me."

"Well, I'm sorry, but when I see my friend do an impression of an Olympic racer while heading towards the toilet, I get a little concerned." Tori replied. Kelly sighed and took her friend's hand.

"I'm fine, really." She said. Tori got up and went over to the other side of the room and picked up a shopping bag. She walked back over and pulled out a box of saltines and several cans of ginger ale.

"This should settle your stomach." Tori said.

"Thanks." Kelly said. Tori then went back and brought over the empty wastebasket that had been in the room.

"And this is for……..Well, just in case you can't make it to the bathroom." Tori said. Kelly chuckled.

"Thank you." She said. Tori smiled. She sighed.

"Well, I'm going to go to the hospital, see if anything's happened." She said. "Sure you'll be okay?" She asked. Kelly nodded. "Okay." Tori said. She went to the door.

"Oh, Tori?" Kelly called to her.

"Yeah?"

"Do me a favor, don't tell Hunter about me being under the weather. I think he's got enough to worry about as it is." She said. As if he'd care. She thought bitterly.

"Sure, my lips will be sealed." Tori promised as she left. Kelly sighed and settled into bed and resting on her side, curling up in a fetal position. That's when her eyes fell on the cheap calendar that was on the wall in the corner of the room. Her eyes widened a bit. Is today……….wait…………then………. She quickly scrambled out of bed and searched for the bag that had her things in it. She found it and frantically tore it open. Kelly then searched for her date book and as soon as her fingers touched the smooth fake leather surface of it she quickly pulled it out and opened it. Her eyes scanned the pages

"Oh……." Kelly said, suddenly feeling very faint. Kelly dropped the book onto the floor and sat back, holding her knees up to her chest. "I'm late." She said softly. She pursed her lips and shook her head. "No, no, I'm sure it's just from stress…..From worrying about Blake. This doesn't mean…….." She couldn't even finish the sentence before the tell-tale churning in her stomach began and she quickly ran to the bathroom.

Kelly sat nervously in a seat at a desk the next day. She had gone to see one of the doctor's in the hospital. The doctor had done a blood test and taken a urine sample and now Kelly sat awaiting the results. She clasped and unclasped her hands, awaiting the doctor's arrival. The door opened and in walked in the doctor. She carried with her a beige colored folder.

"Miss Halloway, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting so long." She apologized as she sat down behind her desk.

"It's okay." Kelly replied.

"Well, your test results all came back." She said.

"And? Is there something wrong?" Kelly asked. "I mean, why else would some tests take so long?" Kelly asked, feeling frantic. The doctor went over to the front of the desk and gently took Kelly's hand.

"Miss Halloway, there's no need to get worried, there's nothing wrong." She assured her. Kelly blew out a breath.

"Oh, god. So, I was right? I mean, it was just stress?" Kelly asked. The doctor sighed.

"I thought it could've been stress when you told me about your friend being in a coma, but-"

"But? What but? You just said nothing's wrong." Kelly said, cutting her off.

"Miss Halloway, there is nothing wrong. But your tests did come back positive."

"Positive?" Kelly asked, afraid she already knew what she was positive for.

"Miss Halloway, you're pregnant." The doctor said softly.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Kelly walked out of the office on shaky legs. She was pregnant. She knew exactly whose baby it was seeing as other than Hunter, the last person she had been intimate with was over a year ago. Figures the guy who basically wants nothing to do with me got me pregnant. She thought bitterly as she walked through the hallways of the hospital.

"Kelly?" Came a voice. Kelly looked up and saw Tori.

"Tori…….Hey." Kelly said softly.

"Hey, what are you doing here? I thought you were back at the hotel." Tori said. Kelly looked at her friend. She opened her mouth to tell her exactly where she had just been but couldn't find the words. She closed her mouth and gulped softly.

"I took your advice, you know, saw a doctor." She said. Well, that is sort of the truth…

"Oh. Everything all right?" Tori asked. Automatically, Kelly nodded.

"Oh, yeah, uh, the doctor just said it was a bit of a stomach virus. She said I'll be fine, just got to take some Pepto and all that." Kelly said, praying Tori didn't pick up on the lie. Tori gave her friend a smile.

"Well, that's great. I'm glad you're okay." She said. Kelly forced herself to return the smile.

"Yeah, see, you were all worried for nothing." Kelly said. "So, where are you off to?"

"Oh, just the bathroom. Hunter's with Blake. Why don't you go sit with him?" Tori suggested, figuring Hunter could use company. Kelly nearly blanched. Hunter was the last……and first person she wanted to see at that very moment.

"Sure." Kelly said. Tori walked off to the bathroom and Kelly stood there, trying to compose herself enough to walk into the room. She took a few deep breaths and walked to Blake's room. She opened the door and slid into the room. Hunter looked up at her from his spot at Blake's side but didn't say anything. Kelly sighed and went and sat on a chair on the other side of Blake. The room was silent except for the sounds that were coming from the machines that were hooked up to Blake. Kelly nervously wringed her fingers as she sat there, unsure what to do. Hunter seemed to just forget she was there as his eyes were focused on Blake. Kelly clenched her fists and released as she finally got sick of the silence and decided to say something. Kelly took a deep breath and opened her mouth, ready to say something, but was beaten to breaking the silence by a soft, almost inaudible moan. Kelly blinked and looked over as she saw Blake's head fall to the side as he moaned again. Hunter's eyes grew wide as he grabbed Blake's hand.

"Blake?" He asked, unsure if this was real. Blake's eyes fluttered opened. A low muttered sound came from him as he tried to speak through the mask that covered his nose and mouth. Hunter let out a shuttered sigh as tears came to his eyes. "Oh my god." Kelly blinked.

"I……..I'll go get the doctor." She said as she rose to her feet. She quickly left the room and nearly ran into Tori.

"Kelly, what's wrong?" Tori asked. Kelly forgot about her own news and grabbed Tori by the arms, a smile coming to her face.

"It's Blake, he's awake." She said. Tori let out a short gasp. "I'm going to go get the doctor." Kelly said as she released her friend. Tori quickly ran into the room as Kelly went to locate the doctor. Once Kelly located the doctor and brought him to the room along with some nurses, she and Tori were shooed out of the room.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The doctor and nurses tended to Blake as Hunter stood at the other end of the room. He had refused to leave with Kelly and Tori and just stood there, watching Blake, making sure this was real, making sure that Blake was really all right. After the nurses finished unhooking all the machines that were attached to Blake they left the room, leaving the two Bradley men and the doctor in the room. Hunter went back and resumed his position in the chair beside Blake who was now sitting propped up against pillows.

"Well, Mr. Bradley, welcome back to the world of the consciousness." The doctor said, giving the two brothers a smile. Hunter let out a sigh and held Blake's hand.

"I don't understand." Blake said. "What happened? I mean, the last thing I remember, I was on my bike."

"One of the other racers crashed into you. You were badly injured and you've been in a coma since."

"And how long has that been?" Blake asked, afraid to know.

"Just a few weeks bro." Hunter said, placing a hand on his brother's leg. Blake looked at the hand on his leg and frowned. Why can't I feel that? He wondered. He heard Hunter and the doctor talking but was more focused on his own thoughts. I'm sure it's nothing. Maybe the rest of me just needs to get out of the coma or something.

"So, when can Blake come home?" Hunter asked.

"Well, I want to run some tests, make sure he's all right, but I don't see why he can't be out of here in a week."

"A week?" Hunter asked. He had seen too much of this hospital as it was, he wasn't sure if he could handle another week. The doctor gave Hunter a supportive smile.

"I know, but we have to make sure he's all right." He said. Hunter sighed and nodded. Blake looked at his brother.

"Yeah bro, I mean, what if I've got some brain damage or something, don't you want them to make sure I'm all right?" He asked. Hunter chuckled.

"What, you mean aside the other brain damage you've always had?" Hunter replied. It felt so good to tease his younger brother again. Blake looked at the doctor.

"Doctor, when will I get feeling back in my legs?" He asked. The doctor frowned.

"What?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" Hunter asked.

"My legs……..I can't feel them…….." He looked over at Hunter's hand that was on his leg. "I can't feel that. Isn't that normal?" He asked. The doctor pulled the blanket off of Blake's legs and went to the foot of the bed. He took a small pen out of his coat pocket and bent down. He ran the side of it over the bottom of Blake's feet.

"Can you feel that?" He asked. Blake shook his head. He ran the side of the pen over Blake's feet. "Tell me the minute you feel something." He told him. The doctor ran the pen up to Blake's knees, no reaction. He ran it up the front of Blake's thighs, nothing.

"I can't feel anything." Blake said. The doctor continued up to Blake's hips, nothing, finally, once he reached Blake's stomach, he got a reaction. "I feel that." He said.

"Doctor, what's wrong with him?" Hunter asked.

"I don't want to say anything until we're certain." The doctor said. "I'm going to get some x-rays done on your brother." He said. He left the room to put the order in. Blake looked down at his legs.

"Hunter?" He asked, feeling scared. Hunter squeezed his brother's hand.

"Everything's going to be fine, bro." He told him.
