had sent
someone else to tell them.  If he was her mate, shouldn't that
have been his job?  Shouldn't she be cuddling up on his lap
the way Bailey was on Brady's?  Well, perhaps not exactly that
way since Bailey and Brady were brother and sister, and
she-
    Oh stop it.
    Her parents were dead and she was
thinking about sitting on some overgrown oaf's lap.  God she
was a horrible person.  
    Then again, they'd been
mourning the loss of their parents for a long time, even though
they hadn't known for sure that it was a permanent loss. 
Maybe it wasn't her fault her brain was looking for a
distraction.  Especially since today should have been happy .
    Wherever they were, it
didn't seem like anyone here wanted to experiment on them.  In
fact, they'd all been appalled to find the siblings, and had done
everything they could to welcome them.  Bethany had eaten the
best meal she'd had in years, right before Jordan had shown
up.  Now it tasted like ashes in her mouth, but the gesture
was still appreciated.  Maybe it was just because Mr.
Gives-The-Orders had declared her to be his mate, but everyone
acted like she and her siblings were welcome guests, not the
unexpected surprises that they were.
    Bailey let out another low moan; she
seemed to be taking the news about their parents harder than any of
the rest of them.  Curling into an even tighter ball, she
sounded like she was in pain.
    "Bailey?  Honey, what's wrong?"
Brady asked, suddenly sounding panicked.  He looked up at his
other siblings who were immediately on alert.  "She's
shivering like crazy - Bailey, answer me!"
    Immediately, all three of
them were up from their seats and gathered around Bailey, crouching
and touching her.  Bethany groaned.  "She's burning
up!"
    Bailey's skin was hot to the touch as
she shivered feverishly, and tears sprung into Bethany's
eyes.  Dammit!  Everything had gotten so crazy she'd
actually forgotten that Bethany had been taken away by the doctor
this morning before their rescue.   
    Behind her she could heard
Jordan, barking orders and demanding a doctor, ASAP.  This was
definitely a side she hadn't seen from him before.  On the
trip, he'd been all lazy male, then so very grim and sober when
he'd broken the news about their parents, and now he was acting
very much like Mr. Large-And-In-Charge.
    "They came and took her this morning,"
she told her brothers, tears choking her as she forced the words
out.  "I couldn't stop them.  She's... she's
changing."
    The growls and cursing that followed
that announcement made her cringe with guilt.  Sensing her
upset, Brice caught her up in a hug.  "It's not your fault,
Bethy.  We knew it would happen sometime.  The
bastards."
    "Let me through, let me see her."
 A commanding female's voice had all of them looking up as a
redheaded woman in a white lab coat came towards them.  She
had a stethoscope wrapped around her neck, under her no-nonsense
bun, but the jeans and t-shirt with Beauty and the Beast on it
underneath the lab coat kind of ruined the whole doctor look. 
Brady scowled at her suspiciously, making another low growling
noise, which she ignored.
    "This is Doc," Jordan said, stepping
up behind the redhead, making her look tiny by comparison even
though she was actually fairly tall for a woman even if she was
slender.  Since she was wearing flats, that was her actual
height too, Bethany thought enviously.  "She'll be able to
help Bailey."
    He said it with absolute
confidence, but lab coats didn't exactly inspire friendly thoughts
in any of the Bunsons, nor did the outfit underneath inspire
confidence.  But when Bailey let out a high, shrill cry of
pain, Brady groaned at his helplessness and nodded at his
siblings.  They backed up to allow Doc through.
    Bethany chewed on her nail
as Doc quickly examined Bailey, as much as she could while Bailey
was curled up on Brady's lap.  As Bailey let out another
tortured noise, the redhead's lips tightened and she took out
