Terrified

AU. After Sammy and Dylan are caught in a car crash, Kelly rushes to their side. Set up in 2018

Rest in peace the beautiful soul that was Luke Perry.

I just realized Dylan's brother was named Jack so I changed the name of their second son to Evan, and yeah I know Andrea's daughter's name is Hannah but there's a special reason for the name, so that one is staying the same :)

I own nothing.

Pregnant? Kelly had thought of it because of her scare during summer but never did she imagine it would happen, sure her and Dylan were still pretty active when it came to their intimacy, but with 3 kids, it just got harder and harder to find the time to be alone, even though that never seemed to stop her husband. Kelly was still amazed on how he could still be attracted to her like he was when he was 17, specially after three kids, he could drive her crazy but she still loved him the same she had back then too.

"Okay so what are our options?" Steve asked breaking the tense silence that had engulfed the room. "What can we do to help?"

"Well, Dylan is still on the top of the list transplant wise." Dr. Bean said. "Does he have, maybe siblings who could be donors?"

"Uh, yeah, he has a sister, right? Erica?" Steve said to Kelly.

"Maybe if we talk to her and explain what's going on? I mean Dylan took her care of her when she was little, you guys still keep in touch, don't you?" David said.

"Okay, have you been in contact with her since the accident Mrs. Mckay? Maybe you wish us to contact her?" Dr. Bean asked.

"Kelly, please call me Kelly." She begged, barely able to process so much information at once.

"Kel, we want to help you, please tell us how we can." Donna added in. Kelly just turned to look at Dylan whose eyes were still closed. Erica was a tricky subject for Kelly, even though she had been around now that she was an adult as much as she could but it hadn't been an easy relationship to fix, Erica was not an easy person much like her older brother, and yes, Kelly had thought of her, she had called her, she hadn't gotten back to her though. Kelly prayed she would.

"Alright, well Erica is our best bet right now, right?"

Kelly bit her lip as the doctor was called away but assured them he'd be back to check on Dylan again soon. "What is it Kelly?" Donna asked, knowing her friend well enough to sense there was something more.

"You might want to sit for this." She told them, and then she revealed something that up until that day, only her and Dylan knew about.

"Wait, hold on, Dylan has brothers?"

"Yeah, after Jack went into hiding, he married this woman, I only saw one of the kids who was about four back then but Dylan, he said Jack had written to him again years ago."

"So you don't know anything about them?"

"No, Dylan, after he found out Jack was alive and had another family, he didn't want that to haunt him anymore. I just know know one of his sons is named Jack."

"So that's why you haven't named one of your kid's after him?" Donna and Janet stared at Steve, fighting the urge to roll their eyes. "Oh yeah, sorry, okay so does Erica know?"

"No, and it's staying that way you guys, please don't say anything, nobody's supposed to know."

"We won't say a word, right boys?" Janet eyed David and Steve and so did Donna.

"Why are you looking at us?" David mused. "Of course we won't."

"But there's still the question of what we are going to do to help." Steve added in. "I mean it's Dylan, if Jack is still alive and there are siblings out there, shouldn't we go and look for them?" He glanced down at his phone as it buzzed. "It's Madeline. Maddie, honey, what's up? You are where?" Janet instantly glanced at her husband, "Hold on. I'll come meet you."

"You didn't think I was going to find out?" Maddie said as soon as she made it outside Dylan's room where her parents and aunts and uncles were. "Why didn't you tell me it was this bad?"

"Maddie…"

"I want to take the test, Uncle Dylan is my Godfather and I'm 18, so I can help him, right?"

"Honey…"

"No aunt Kelly, come on, it's my decision to make and you and Uncle Dylan are always there for me, I want to do this, okay?"

"Sweetie, you might not even be a match."

"Right, but you said might, so I could be."

Kelly had had to sit down and take a break. She was now texting Silver who was babysitting the kids at Donna's with Felice Martin. "So now you know, don't you?" Sandy said as Kelly looked up. "I had a feeling what all that dizziness might be but I didn't want to meddle, congratulations Mrs. Mckay."

"Thank you." Kelly said with a soft smile. "Hey what happened to Kelly, not even my mother in law was ever called Mrs. Mckay."

"I'm sorry, bad habit," The younger woman said. "Kelly, I was wondering if you'd like me to run a scan for you?"

Kelly's heart sank. It felt like Sammy all over again, being alone doing this, Dylan not knowing, not being there. "If you want."

Kelly nodded, glancing at Dylan, whose cuts and bruises were beginning to fade. "Can it be right here? With him in the room?"

"Of course, do you want anyone else with you?"

She'd asked for Donna, they have been together through everything in the last 20 years more than most of their friends from West Beverly, she was almost certainly her sister and she didn't want to do it alone.

"Well, you are about 8 weeks along Kelly." Sandy said, she confessed she was taking classes to move to the OBGYN wing soon. Kelly smiled to herself.

"What?" Donna raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"I told Dylan I thought I might be pregnant back in June and you know we were talking about how it could still happen and I guess it did, on that same two weeks we were in Hawaii. " Kelly could feel tears begining to stream down her face.


"What are you thinking about Kel?" Dylan asked as he touched her face softly, they were laying in bed, in the middle of their first week in Hawaii, kids free and it felt like they were the only people in the world.

"How happy I am right now." Kelly confessed. "How our lives turned out to be like this after all we went trough."

She had turned to face him now as he kissed her deeply.

"I don't know why I was stupid enough as to break up with you the first time. I was an ass, wasn't I? Even after Sammy, I still acted like a stupid kid."

"We didn't know better Dylan." Kelly said after a moment. "That was what we were taught, how we grew up, Mel, Jackie, Iris, Jack, My Dad."

"I always thought I'd break the pattern."

"Well, we've been married for longer than most of them."

"But It hasn't been easy, has it?"

"Nope, but...Remember back in senior year when you told me we were soulmates? And then you dedicated your book to me?"

"Yeah?"

"I didn't get it then, but I do now. Why always kept going back to you even though I was with other people."

"Why is that, Kel?" He grinned, his eyes shining in adoration.

"Because, back then, I sort of gave you my heart, a piece of my soul and I never really got it back." Kelly admitted. Dylan smiled, pulling her closer to him.

"The feeling is mutual, trust me." He said, his lips on hers as he kissed her deeply.


"Everything seems normal. I'm still going to ask someone from OB to come and run a further test for you but, so far so good. Congratulations."

"Thank you." Kelly said as she tried to push her memories away as she turned to Dylan once more squeezing his hand. Donna told her she was going to go find the boys and she was left alone with her husband. "It's funny how life turns out, huh? Well, not even funny, I think it just has a wicked sense of humor and you are not getting out of it Dylan Mckay, I need you, we need you."

"Are you really going to do this without telling Kelly about it?" David told Steve as they sat in the hospital cafeteria.

"Who else, I mean It'd be really strange that either of them were a match but I'm running out of ideas."

"Madeleine might be..." David said.

"And if she's not?"

"I still think you should tell Kelly about it man, she doesn't need any more surprises in her life, with the baby and all."

"Well, someone has to do something." Steve said.

"Please tell me you two aren't trying to go find Dylan's brothers." Donna's voice came from behind them.

"Nope, we wouldn't know where to start but… " Steve began as she sat down at the table. "I might have a second to best idea."

"Brandon and Brenda? Really Steve?" Donna huffed. "They are like miles away, with families of their own and with all the history between them..."

"Yeah, but Kelly still keeps in touch with them and either of them could be a match." Steve said. "It would be awkward, yes, but what is that going to matter if they can help Dylan?"

"I don't know man, that's stirring a lot of dirt under the carpet." David said. "Specially for Kelly."


Everyone always told Kelly that Sammy was just like Dylan but she mostly saw herself in her son, Evan and Hannah reminded her more of her husband, but he was still a lot like his father, always trying to protect her.

"So, you are going to have to come in a week or so to have the stitches removed Sammy, but it looks like it's healing nicely." Dr. Bean said to the boy as Kelly and Donna stood beside him. "How are you feeling? Any dizziness?"

"No, not really." Sammy said with a shrug."I feel fine."

"Okay, good but if anything changes, you have my number and so does your Mom, call me anytime, alright?" Sammy nodded thanking him as the doctor left.

"Are you sure you feel okay honey?" Kelly asked as she helped Sammy with his jacket.

"Yeah, how is Dad?"

"Mostly the same." Sammy nodded. "But Dr. Bean is optimistic. How are things with Hannah and Evan?"

"They are okay, keep asking when you and Dad are going to be back home."

"I wish I had an answer." Kelly sighed. "Are you ready for school tomorrow? You know you don't have to go until you feel better, right?"

"I think I'd rather go, focus on other things you know?" Sammy admitted. "It will be fine."

"If you are sure baby."

"I am." Sammy said with a weak smile. Kelly took a deep breath as she nodded. "What is it Mom?"

"Come here and sit with me for a sec." Kelly said patting the bed and sitting on it. "Do you remember when we didn't live with Dad when you were little and you kept asking me about it?"

Sammy nodded. "And then you two were inseparable when we got back together and we knew we'd made the right decision, it wasn't going to be easy but it would be worth it because we would finally be a family." There was a silence that settled between the two of them. "Sammy honey, did, did something happen that day in the car or during the day with you and Dad?"

Sammy froze. "You can tell me honey, I know you, I know you are not just like this because of the accident."

"What if he doesn't wake up?" Sam said much to Kelly's surprise. "If he doesn't…"

"What baby?"

"We were arguing when it happened Mom, it wasn't a big blow out fight but I was mad and... I might not even be able to tell him that I'm sorry I caused it and I'm to blame for everything."


Here's the next one guys, what did you think, let's hope Dylan wakes up soon!
