After hugging Dylan, Cindy sat back down, "I tried to calling Iris, but couldn't get hold of her, so I left a message".
Dylan nodded, "l, I want to ask you something and I hope you will both agree". He says sitting back down with them.
They look at him questioningly.
"Could we keep the news of the pregnancy from the gang for now". Looking down at the floor and back at them, "I think brenda should know, before they do". Looking hesitantly at them unsure of their response.
Jim looked form Dylan to his wife, "I agree with him, she should know first. What do you say?"
"I agree", Cindy said.
"Thanks, thank you both", he says relived. Dylan gets up to see her and squeezers Jim's shoulder. "Thank you both for letting me see her, before they take her into surgery".
"It's ok", Jim said, "we'll be in the waiting room. Tell her we love her".
Cindy gave him a wry smile, "She's my baby girl, and if anyone's voice can pull her through this, it will be yours".
Dylan nods at the two of them, before gingerly walking out the door.
"We better go back to the waiting room, Brandon should be here soon" Jim said standing up, and offering his hand to his wife.

Dylan's in complete shock finding out he's going to be a dad and the severity of Brenda's injuries. He doesn't know what to think or say. He knows it's dangerous for their child and for Brenda to have these operations, it's equally dangerous to both of them if she doesn't. He was surprised they included him in the decisions they made. He watched as they wheeled her through the doors of the operating theatre, he spoke to her, begged her to fight, and held her hand all the way up in the lift. Seeing her surrounded by wires, tubes and machines monitoring her and their child had almost broke him, only knowing they pd need him kept him standing. No longer able to see her, he looked up and begged them to save her, save them both. He turned and gingerly went back to lift, hitting the button, he held onto the wall to keep him up. He took some steadying breathes while he waited, for it to take him down to the waiting area to find her parents.

Brandon arrives being held up and dragged through the door by Steve, who sits him into a chair, taking deep breaths from half carrying him Steve asks "Any news"?
"She's been taken up to surgery". Jim said looking back up at Steve.
Brandon looked at his father, "We got here as quick as we could", Breathing deep, wincing and holding his side, "couldn't they have waited so I could see her"? He asks clearly emotional.
"They couldn't son, they had to rush her to theatre. After she was stabilised, we only saw her at a glance ourselves". Looking at Dylan, to tell him not to elaborate that he had. Dylan gives him a barely perceived nod.
Andrea and David rush in, with David handing Brandon his car keys.
"Is she ok, is there any news", Andrea asks out of breathe from running from the car park. Clearly distressed, shocked and concerned for her friend she looks at the Walsh parents.
"They've mostly been able to stabilise her, they are operating on her leg currently, and keeping an eye on her liver tear, and the bleed on the brain. It's to early to tell, on whether they will need treating as well, but they were concerned if they didn't operate on leg now, she could loose it.
Donna, came in hearing what Jim said, "I stopped down stairs, and called my dad, he's on his way up, to help explain the medical terminology".
"Thank you Donna", Cindy said, looking towards her, and wondering what she new about Kelly and Dylan, if she was truly her daughters friend.
