The doctor came out again and shook Chris's hand. Scott made sure that he stayed close to Chris after what happened he wanted needed to hear what the news was.

Rachel and Virgil made their way up to Chris and the doctor too. Doctor saw this and waited till everybody had come and then he looked at them all.

"I won't lie to you it was very difficult in there." The doctor paused, "But she is fine she just needs some rest." The doctor said and looked at all the thankful faces.

Chris pulled Dr. Thornton into a tight hug to thank him. Rachel cried with happy tears and then asked the one question that everybody had been dieing to ask, "Can we see her?"

"She isn't awake right now you do understand. But once we finish up you will be able to see her. I'll send a nurse when Kelly is ready." The doctor grinned and then said, "I'll talk to folks later." He turned and wrote on a clip board he was holding and was soon gone. A big sigh of relief went out as everybody thank the lord that Kelly was ok.

Chris smiled at Scott and then whispered into his ear, "Go get a ring."

Scott pat Chris on the shoulder and thanked him and ran off. Virgil walked over to Chris and asked, "Where is he going?"

"you will find out soon enough." Chris said and chuckled.

Virgil just raised an eyebrow and turned back to Rachel. Rachel looked at them and before they knew what was happening their lips were together and both were holding the other. Rachel pulled away and made to dash away but Virgil caught her elbow and pulled her in tight again. Rachel soon gave up the fight and pulled away again and looked up into Virgil's eyes she smiled and he chuckled and he then wrapped his arm around her waist.

Chris laughed inside and then turned around when a light touch came to his shoulder. A chubby little nurse smiled up at him.

"Are you Kelly's family?" She asked.

"Yes we are." Chris said the smile on the nurse became bigger.

"Dr. Thornton told me that Kelly is awake and you can come see her." The nurse said and then added sternly. "Only one at a time."

"Of course." Everyone agreed and then turned to follow her.

Virgil stopped and looked around. Rachel stopped with him.

"Virgil what's wrong?"

"Scott's not here." Virgil frowned.

"I have a feeling that whatever he is getting will change Kelly's life forever." Rachel said staring at Virgil. Still she had a dreamy look on her face.

Virgil looked back at her with a confused look on his face. The only response he got was a soft giggle.

"Virgil." Rachel said her gaze dropping again.

"What's wrong?" Virgil said alarms going off in his mind.

"I don't ever want to leave you again." Rachel then added , "I'm sorry for hurting you."

"Don't be we will live happily ever after." Still Rachel's face hung.

"Rachel you'll come with me when we leave and we can live on the island awhile." Virgil said and nudged her.

"Now come on let's go see your sister."

"Right." Rachel said.

Virgil smiled inside he finally got Rachel back. And when the time was right he would make her his wife. He couldn't wait either.

Scott ran into the first jewelers he found and bought the first engagement ring he saw. He then raced back to the hospital. The same chubby nurse who had led the other three to Kelly's room lead Scott. Scott's cheeks where damp and he still couldn't believe he was going to do this. The smile however was plain on his face as he walked through that door and dropped to his knee in front of Kelly.
