Chapter 10-
"NO! SHE CAN'T BE DEAD!!! SHE CAN'T BE!!!" Danielle shrieked from where Jack was holding her back. Danielle pushed Jack away and ran to the body of her sister. "Hannah, stop playing around now…..you can wake up it's not funny anymore…Hannah?" Tears fell down Danielle's face as she held her sister in her arms. "HANNAH!" Danielle screamed as she sobbed.
Janet placed a hand on Danielle's shoulder, "Danielle come on…." Janet began as tears stung her own eyes. Danielle shrugged Janets hand off, "No, she said she wouldn't leave me behind….I have already lost my parents…..and now I lost my sister…" Danielle sobbed as the infirmary staff took Hannah's body from Danielle's arms.
Danielle stood up and looked to everyone with tears streaming down her face, "…Somebody…tell me this is a night mare…that it will end…the deaths." Danielle said as she fell to the floor, the shock setting in.
Janet rushed over to Danielle as the teen began to shake. "danielle, come on honey wake up." Janet said as Danielle stopped shaking and started sobbing again, "I think I'm losing it." Danielle whispered between sobs as she grabbed on to Janet.
Janet stroked Danielle's hair and whispered comforting words to her, "Come on lets get you to a VIP room where you can rest." Janet said as she helped Danielle up.
In the VIP room-
Janet went back to the infirmary and Daniel and Jack sat with Danielle. "You know it's funny," Danielle begun as she sighed, "How one day your whole life becomes a mess….everything you ever knew is gone." Danielle said as she sighed…her teen spirit seemed to have died with her sister.
Daniel walked over to Danielle and put an arm around her shoulders, "It's going to be ok…not right away….but time heals all…remember that." Daniel said as Danielle looked up. "I know…..but it still doesn't change the fact that my sister is dead…the only person I had left…now she's gone." Danielle said as Jack sighed, "But you still have us…I know we are not the people that you grew up knowing, but really we kinda are…you know?" Jack asked as Danielle nodded, "I guess so." Danielle said as she sighed.
"I just feel so…gone." Danielle said. "It's normal to feel that way." Daniel said as Danielle nodded, "I guess…I'm gonna get some rest…" Danielle said as she laid down and closed her eyes.
Jack and Daniel left Danielle alone to sleep.
Out in the hall-
"Hey Jack, I've gotta talk to Hammond about something ok?" Daniel said as Jack nodded, "Alright, chat with ya later." Jack said as Daniel took off down the hall.
At Hammond's office-
Daniel knocked on the door lightly, "Come in." Came the reply. Daniel walked in, "Um, I want to adopt Danielle…." Daniel said as Hammond looked up with a smile on his face, "Dr. Fraiser has already approached me on this subject, perhaps you two can come up with something." Hammond said as Daniel blushed. "Ok." Daniel said as he left. He had some talking to do with Janet.
