Shelby walked into her cabin and before she even reached the bathroom, started to take off her wet, dirty clothes. She went strait to the bathroom and turned on the shower, making the water as hot as possible.

After she took all of her clothes off, she stepped into the shower and let the hot water beat on her back. A sigh left her lips. It felt so good to be warm. She ran her hands through her hair, getting it wet and watched as all the dirt came out of it.

She grabbed her body wash and put some on her loofa sponge. The sent of lilacs filled the air and she breathed it in. She loved the sent. She scrubbed her body clean. She grabbed her shampoo and poured some in her hand. Once again the sent filled the air, stronger this time, and she washed her hair. She then conditioned her hair.

After she was done she just stood in the shower letting the water hit her back. She closed her eyes and rolled her neck, hoping it would relief some of the tension but it did nothing. She stood in the shower wondering what she was going to say to Scott. He was her rescuer, yet again. She couldn't just say nothing.

Another sigh left her mouth as she turned off the water. She grabbed a bog, fluffy white towel and dried herself off slightly. She wrapped the towel around her slim body and walked out of the shower. She turned to look in the mirror and combed out her hair.

Shelby left the bathroom, into the main room, and searched for something the wear.

Scott was just getting out of the shower. He wrapped the towel loosely around his waste and walked into his room, looking for something to wear. He grabbed a pair of jeans and threw them on his bed. He put on a pair of boxers and discarded the towel then put on the jeans. He still didn't have a shirt on.

He looked at his reflection in the mirror and sighed. He had strange feeling in his gut; a feeling of guilt. He kept blaming himself for Shelby running, he thought it was his fault. It wasn't but he couldn't bring himself to believe that.

He thought about what she might say or do to him when they next saw each other. He was the one who found her, again. Would she thank him? Would she yell at him for he was the reason she ran? What would happen?

Scott rubbed his eyes and shook his head. Stop worrying so damn much! Scott scolded himself mentally and went back to looking for a shirt.

Shelby looked at herself in the mirror again. She was now wearing a pair of beige tie string pants and a black v-neck T-shirt. Her blonde hair was still wet and hanging down to the middle of her back. She had no make-up on and just looked completely natural. It was nothing fancy but Shelby didn't care about being cute right now; she just wanted to be comfortable.

She thought back to what Sophie had said to her after she left her cabin.

"When you're done, go to Scott's cabin, get him and then come back to the lodge,"

Shelby was really dreading to the getting Scott part but tried to pretend other wise.

She put on a pair of black Nikes and grabbed a black coat that she brought with her. She was physically ready to go over to Scott's cabin, grab him and go back to the lodge but emotionally, she was a wreck. She had no idea what to say or do when she saw Scott.

She grabbed her portable DVD player and the "Alice in Wonderland" DVD and put them both in the black traveling pack. She took one last glance in the mirror and then left her cabin.

She ran to Scott's in the still pouring rain and knocked quickly on the door. He opened the door still wearing no shirt and Shelby suddenly couldn't talk. He motioned her to come in and she did but she still couldn't bring her voice to come.

She watched as Scott moved around the room. She could see his abs and every other muscle in his move as he moved. She swallowed hard and forced herself to try and stay calm but the sight of him made her go weak in the knees. Seeing him fully clothed was hard enough for her. She felt that seeing him in only his jeans was practically torture.

Shelby scolded herself mentally. She ordered her eyes to look away but it did no good; her blue eyes still watched him as he moved.

"Sorry about this. I'll only be a minute longer," Scott said and snapped Shelby out of her trance.

"No, it's okay. Take as long as you need," Shelby responded.

She leaned against the wall as she continued to watch him walk around the room. He grabbed a white, male style wife beater and pulled it on over his head. Damn! Shelby swore silently and then bit her lip. What was she thinking?

Scott sat down on the bed and put on his shoes and socks. She stood up again and grabbed his coat. He turned to Shelby.

"Okay. I'm good," Scott said.

"Yes, you definitely are," Shelby said before she could stop herself.

"What?"

"Uh..nothing," Shelby said trying to safe herself some embarrassment. "Let's go,"

Before Scott could say another thing, she turned and walked out of the door into the cold rain again. Scott followed her, while putting his coat on. They both rushed to get to the lodge.

Once there, they walked in and took off their coats. Shelby quickly walked away from Scott before she did something or said another thing to him. She walked over to Daisy and she picked up that Shelby was rigid about something.

"What happened?" Daisy asked.

"Scott's a bastard," Shelby responded.

"No, he's not, We've met his father," Daisy responded, teasing.

"Very funny,"

"What happened?"

"He let me in his cabin when he didn't have a shirt on!"

"And the problem with that it?"

"I almost lost it," Shelby said and ran her hands through her hair. "He was so..." She drifted off, picturing him again then snapped back to reality. "And I think he did it on purpose."

"Why would he do that?" Daisy asked.

"To show me what I can't have. Well, can have but won't take,"

"And why won't you take it?"

"Well now my excuse is that he's taken,"

"And what was your excuse before?"

Shelby bit her bottom lip, glancing over to Scott quickly.

"I'm not sure," She said.

"You didn't have one. Now why won't you just screw and get it over with?" Daisy asked with a grin.

"Daisy!" Shelby lightly smacked her. "He has a girlfriend,"

"So what? There's enough sexual tension between you two to cut with a knife. Besides you need to get back in the saddle,"

"Okay. Subject change! How's Jena?"

"Still asleep,"

"Okay. Well I'm going to go check on her. You stay here and talk to someone else about getting back in the saddle," She said, walking away grinning.

Shelby walked over by Jena and as if on cue, Jena woke up.

"Mommy!" She said loudly and threw herself into Shelby's arms. "Mommy there was a bad storm and you weren't here and I wanted you to be here. Where were you?"

"Sweety, it's okay. I'm here now," Shelby responded trying to relax her.

There was a crash of thunder and Jena's hold on Shelby grew stronger.

"It's okay, sweety," Shelby said. "Here, you wanna watch Alice?"

Jena nodded and started to let go of Shelby.

Shelby grabbed the portable DVD player and put in "Alice in Wonderland." She started to play the movie and Jena started to watch it and relax.

Just when Jena was relaxed the power went out and she tensed again.

"Mommy!" She called.

"It's okay, baby. I'm right here," Shelby said reassuringly to Jena.

"Is she okay?" Scott asked from behind Shelby.

Shelby turned around and looking at Scott. She nodded for she didn't trust herself not to say something very bad.

"Peter needs to see all of us," Scott said and walked away quickly.

Shelby blinked a couple of times and thought about how strange Scott just was right there. She shook her head and forgot about it.

"Sweety, why don't you stay here and watch Alice? I'll be right back. Okay?" Shelby asked Jena.

Jena let go of Shelby reluctantly and nodded. She turned and started to watch the movie again.

Shelby stood up and walked over by Peter who was standing there with all the other old Cliffhangers.

"Good. Now that all of our visitors are here, I can tell you guys the bad news," Peter said. "The storm grew worse as you guys can tell with the power outage. There's no power anywhere in Agnus and trees are down all over the place. From what I've been told your leaving will have to be postponed until at least Wednesday."

"Wednesday!" Juliet asked, shocked.

"Ya know some of us have jobs, Peter," Ezra said.

"Important jobs," Scott said.

"And deadlines," Shelby added.

"I know. And I'm sorry. But there's no way you guys will be able to get out of here until at least then," Peter responded. "Even if the storm stops right now, it will still be a couple of days for the roads to be cleared. I'm sorry,"

Peter walked over to go helped a couple of sun dogs get situated.

"Okay. I'm fired," Shelby said and leaned on the wall.

"Your boss really that strict?" Auggie asked.

"Yeah. If I miss this deadline, I'm screwed. Unless I do some serious groveling,"

"At least I can just shut down the restaurant. I mean, I'm also the manager," Juliet said.

"Lucky for you. The captain's gonna kill me. He didn't even wanna give me this weekend off," Scott said.

There were many sighs and then everyone went their separate ways. Shelby went back over by Jena and watched the movie with her. Scott followed behind Shelby and leaned against a wall behind her and Jean. He watched them as they watched the movie.

Shelby turned around and realized Scott was there and smiled. She didn't know how long he had been there or why he was even there but she couldn't keep the smile off her face.

"How long have you been standing there?" Shelby asked.

"Just as long as you've been sitting there so about half an hour," Scott responded with a smile.

Shelby stood up and walked to stand next to Scott.

"So, I take it she likes this movie?" Scott asked.

"Yeah. This is her child hood movie," Shelby responded.

Jean started to say her vowels with the caterpillar and Shelby chuckled.

"I swear, thanks to this movie, she knows her vowels better than the names of family members," Shelby commented.

"Well that doesn't seem to hard considering that she doesn't know half of them," Scott said referring to how she hasn't met his side of the family.

Shelby nodded.

"Right. Ya know, I really am sorry about that," She said.

"I know you are. I just don't understand why you did it. Shelby, you had nothing to be scared of back then,"

"I know that...now,"

Shelby sighed and the two were silent for a few minutes as they watched Jena, their daughter, together. Shelby shook her head as she thought of how odd that sounded to her in her head.

Our daughter? Shelby questioned herself.

She looked up at Scott and saw him watching Jena. She thought back to when Scott found her in the woods and how he had kissed her forehead. She smiled and looked down at the thought of it.

"Thanks," Shelby said softly.

Scott took his eyes off of Jena and they were cast to Shelby.

"For what?" He asked.

"Finding me," Shelby responded and looked up at him.

"Oh. Well it was my fault you ran in the first place so-"

"No, it wasn't. It was never your fault, Scott. It was mine. I was the one running from their problems."

"And I was your problem,"

"Scott!" Shelby said sternly.

Scott knew that tone of voice. He wasn't even going to try arguing with her anymore. She'd made up her mind and once that happens, there's no changing it.

"Well...you're welcome," Scott said, showing that he gave up the argument.

Shelby smiled and looked down.

Shelby and Scott were both leaning against the wall toward each other. They kept glancing at each other at different times and then their eyes met. They stared into each other's gazes and neither of them could keep that look out of their eyes; a look of pure love and pure need.

Shelby turned away slowly and walked away. She couldn't handle it. She knew that if she saw another look like that from him that she would give in; she'd give in to the very thing that she had wanted for so long: him.

Scott watched as she walked away and swore silently under his breath.

"Oh, I'm so going to kill that girl!" Daisy said having been observing the whole time.

"Tell me about it. If they don't screw soon, someone is going to choke on the sexual tension," A female student said from next to Daisy.

"How old are you?" Daisy asked, wondering if it was okay to talk about this to the girl.

"17," she responded.

"Okay. You're old enough," Daisy said and nodded. "But you see what I mean about the sexual tension! And she won't act on it,"

"Why not? That guy is so hott!"

"Can't argue that," Juliet said and walked over to get involved on the conversation.

"Hey, you're married!" Daisy scolded her.

"So? I still dated him," Juliet responded.

"True."

"Wait. you dated that guy?" The student asked.

"Yeah. Back when we were still students here. What's you name?"

"Holly," The student said.

"Hi. I'm Juliet,"

"I know. Peter introduced all of you guys when you first showed up,"

"Oh, yeah. That's right. Anyways, yeah I dated him. Then he got involved with that girl, Shelby. They had such a sweet relationship. They were, like, the perfect high school sweet hearts,"

"Well, what happened to 'em?" Holly asked.

"She got pregnant after we all graduated and she left him," Juliet said.

"The kid wasn't his?"

"No, Jena is Scott's kid. Shelby just doesn't deal with problems well. She tends to run away from them," Daisy said.

"And now he knows that Jena is his," Juliet said. "I swear, I don't understand why they don't just get back together."

"You met the reason why they don't 'just get back together',"

"You mean Anita?"

"Who's Anita?" Holly asked.

"Scott's girlfriend," Juliet answered.

"Oh. She's just a small technicality. If Scott loves Shelby and she finally give in to her sexual urges then they'll still hook up,"

The girls heard someone clear their throat loudly behind them and turned around. They were all looking at Peter who had his eye brows raised at them.

"I didn't do anything," Holly said quickly.

"I wasn't blaming you of anything," Peter said and looked at Daisy and Juliet. "You two on the other hand should know better than to talk about other people's sexual tension, as you call it, to one of my students,"

"Well, she noticed..."Juliet said, trying to sound innocent.

"Nice try. Why don't you two just stay out of Scott and Shelby's relationship? Maybe they don't want to get back together,"

"Are you kidding me? Peter, they're so hot for each other!" Holly said and then off of a look from Peter continued, "Okay. I'm shutting up now. You two are on your own,"

Holly walked away.

"You know she's right, Peter," Daisy said.

"I don't care. It's their lives," Peter said.

Peter walked away and left Juliet and Daisy looking at each other. Before either of them could restrain themselves, they burst into laughter as they thought of the conversation they just had with Peter of all people.

Once they calmed down they looked at each other with serious looks on their faces.

"Maybe we can help them get together," Juliet offered.

Daisy looked at her, curious about her idea.

"What did you have in mind?" Daisy asked.

Juliet grinned.

Shelby rushed into the kitchen poured herself a cup of water. It was still completely dark in there safe for one small light at the opposite end of the large room. She took a drink of her water and felt better right away.

She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. She wanted that breath to calm her down and help get her mind off of other, more naughty things but she couldn't.

Shelby walked quickly out of the kitchen. She continued to walk fast, barely looking at anyone she past and ran right into Scott. They made eye contact for a moment and Scott smiled. He started to turn away but Shelby grabbed his hand and forced him not to.

She held onto his hand and lightly pulled him over to a corner of the room. She put her back against the wall and then lifted one of her hands behind Scott's neck and pulled him down into a kiss. She couldn't help herself. Scott kissed back.

Their mouths together seemed so natural. They opened to each other and Shelby let Scott's tongue slip into hers. Shelby pushed herself off of the wall and turned so it was now Scott's back against the wall. She continued to kiss him fiercely but then suddenly, he pulled away.

"Wait," He said. "Not here. Come on,"

Scott grabbed Shelby's hand and pulled her out of the lodge. They were once again in the rain but they ran quickly to Scott's cabin for it was the closer of the two to the lodge.

Juliet and Daisy watched as Scott and Shelby rushed out of the lodge. Daisy looked at Juliet with a smirk on her face.

"Maybe we won't have to do anything, after all," Daisy said, grinning.
