Chapter 12
June 28, 1997
Blair, Tad and everybody else were in the waiting room. They still had not found a match and Jo had told everyone what happened last night.
"I can't believe she refused to help." Tootie said.
"I know." said Jo. "Isn't that terrible?"
Just then Jordan ran into the waiting room.
"I changed my mind." Jordan said. "I'll do it, if it's not to late."
"It's not too late." Jo said. "I'll show you where to go."
Jo took Jordan to get tested. After they were done, Jo took Jordan back to the waiting room.
"So, what made you change your mind?" Jo asked.
Jordan heard a bell ring and then replied "A friend."

The nurse came in the waiting room and announced that they had found a match. Jordan was whisked away and everybody waited. A few hours later the doctor came out and said he expects Amanda to make a full recovery and that she should be able to go home in a few days.

Blair received a phone call, from Jordan, the day Amanda came home from the hospital.
"I wanted to ask you a favor." Jordan said.
"What?" Blair asked.
"Would it be OK if I took Amanda for a few hours on Saturday?" Jordan asked.
"I don't know she just got out of the hospital. Blair said. "I'll have to see what Tad says."
"I just want to spend some time with her, just once." Jordan said. "To say goodbye."
"I'll talk to Tad about it." Blair said.
"Thanks." Jordan said. "Bye"
"Bye" Blair said and hung up the phone.

Jordan picked up Amanda on Saturday morning.
"I'll bring her back at 4:00." Jordan said. "You don't know what this means to me."
"Where are you planning on taking her?" Blair asked.
"We'll probably go to the park." Jordan said. "Or the zoo."
"OK" Blair said. "Here's the diaper bag, her favorite stuffed animal and blanket are in there."
"Don't worry." Jordan said. "She'll be fine."
