Hi GUYS! Thank you to everyone who has reviewed on my story. I really helps boost the creative juices. :) Here's an update for you.

Nancy sat in her hospital bed. Her leg was in a cast. When she fell she broke her femur in half. They told her to stay off it for a week. She huffed as she leaned back into her bed. No one had come to tell her how Frank or Joe was. All she knew was that Joe was rushed to surgery and was now in ICU. An hour later a nurse came into the room.

"Ms. Drew?"

"Yes?"

"I'm Fanny." The nurse replied. "I'll be taking care of you for now." She dumped some pills in her gloved hand. "This will help with the pain."

"but, I'm…" Nancy began.

"I've heard it all before, Missy." Fanny said as she held up her hand. "I've broken my leg before. I know how much it hurts."

"Ok." Nancy said with a giggle. As she swallowed the pills she decided to ask Fanny about the boys,

"I'm not sure. I don't work over there."

"Well, one of them is my fiancé."

"I'll see what I can figure out." Fanny said as she left the room. "Just try to rest now, dear."

"Yes, ma'am." Nancy said. She leaned back on the pillows and sighed. Soon sleep claimed her.

The next day Fenton and Laura came to see her.

"How are you feeling?" Laura asked.

"I'm good." Nancy said as she resituated herself. "I've only been here one day and I'm already sick of hospital food."

"I brought you a burger and a fry." Laura said holing up the take out bag.

"You're an angel!" Nancy exclaimed as she took the bag and opened it. She took a bit of the burger. "This is really good."

"I'm glad you like it." Laura looked at Fenton and smiled. Nancy finished her food in silence. "Do you know how Joe and Frank are?"

"Joe and Frank are both in ICU." Fenton said. "No visitors are allowed in there."

"Not even family?" Nancy gasped.

"No. Joe's condition is very critical. If he happens to catch a cold right now it will kill him."

"Oh." Nancy saw tears gleaming in Laura's eyes. "He'll make it. He's a fighter." Laura nodded her head as she wiped the tears away.

"And Frank has requested that we know nothing."

"What?" Nancy stared at Fenton.

"Apparently he doesn't want us to know the extent of his injuries. And since he is alert enough to tell them his wished and is of the age where he can choose…" Fenton let the sentence hang. "The only thing they tell us is that he is fine."

"Frank." Nancy huffed. "You stubborn old mule." Laura laughed through the tears.

"He's just like his father."

"Me?" Fenton said on mock horror. "When have I ever been stubborn."

"Don't get me started, sweet heart." Laura said sweetly. They all shared a laugh. The tension in the room immediately disappearing.

"What happened to Jerald?"

"They're taking him to the big house." Fenton said. "We won't have to worry about him again."

"Good." Nancy said with emphasis. "He deserves everything he gets. He destroyed my wedding!"

"Do you still plan on marrying Frank?" Fenton asked.

"Really?" Laura and Nancy said at the same time. They then began to talk over each other as they began to name reasons why she should marry Frank.

"Ok. Ok." Fenton said holding up his hands in surrender. "You win." He looked from Laura to Nancy. "I'm going to the waiting room." The ladies immediately began talking about the wedding again. Fenton shook his head and left the room.

Fenton and Laura visited Nancy every day. The day finally came when Nancy could get out of bed with crutches and go home. As they were heading out the door a doctor ran up to them.

"I'm Doctor Fox." The man said breathlessly. "We've been trying to call you for about thirty minutes."

"What's wrong?" Fenton asked. "Is it Joe?"

"Yes."

"Is he worst?"

"No." The doctor waved them into the sitting room. "He's greatly improved. He woke up last night and started talking to us."

"That's great!" Laura exclaimed.

"We've moved him out of ICU. Would you like to see him?"

"Yes!" The three people exclaimed. Dr. Fox led them to the elevator. When they got to the seventh floor, led them down a led them down to the end of a hall. He pushed open a door and motioned them inside.

"Hi." Joe mumbled. His face was covered with bruises and scratches.

"Oh, Joe." Laura said as she rushed forward and carefully touched his face.

"It looks worst than it really is."

"Oh, Baby." Laura carefully stroked his face. "What did they do to you?"

"Nothing much." Joe replied with a grin.

"It's good to see you feeling better." Fenton said.

"I am." Joe said with a smile. He winked at Nancy, "It takes more than a little scratch to keep the Hardy Boys down."

"Joe Mark Hardy!" Laura exclaimed. "This is more than a little scratch. And you will listen to the doctor's orders." Nancy an Fenton chuckled as Joe's face turned red;

"I will."

"Good."

"Any word on Frank?" Joe asked. "Did they find him?"

"Yes. They found him." Fenton said. "Actually, Nancy found him and got her leg broke for all her trouble."

"Was he ok?"

"I don't know." Nancy said with a shrug. "I didn't see him. It was too dark."

"He kept Frank in that room. And he kept me drugged." Joe commented

"What was with the up?" Nancy asked

"Up?"

"As they were wheeling you out, you said 'up' twice."

"Oh." Joe said as he resituated himself. "I was telling you to look up for Frank. He told me if I happened to see you to tell you 'up'."

"But why?"

"I don't know. I was too out of it most of the time to make sense of anything."

"Ah, poor Joe." Nancy said with a smile. "We better let you rest so you can get better."

"Ok. See you guys tomorrow." He said as he leaned into the pillows. Laura kissed him good bye then they left the room.

"I'm glad Joe is alright." Nancy said as they headed outside.

"Yes. It is great." Laura said. "Now all we need is info on Frank and my day will be complete."

"I agree." Nancy said.
