"Nathan?" asked the doctor.

"What's going on? How's Haley?" Nathan asked worriedly.

"Well she's being prepped for surgery, she has multiple fractures to the legs, some head trauma, also a possible collapsed lung, broken ribs and a good deal of internal bleeding!" announced the doctor very sadly.

"What about the baby," Nathan asked very frighteningly.

"With this kind of severe trauma, were going to do everything that we can, but right now our priority is saving your wife." said the doctor walking away.


Nathan walks away as if he was about to cry as a familiar voice yelled for him….

"NATHAN! What is going on what happened to Haley, she was fine when she left Karens café, is it the baby?" Brooke said very scared and worriedly.

Nathan looked down at the ground still as if about to cry, nerves ran though him like a train goes through a tunnel. Different emotions ran through him he didn't know what to say at that moment.

"She's…..She's…. going into surgery!" Nathan said as a tear began to form and run down his face.

"OMG!" Brooke said in shock.

Nathan began to cry as if the love of his life is about to die, he had lost all hope for his unborn son to be alive and his beloved wife.

"And it's all my fault!" Nathan said sadly.

"Oh Nathan it's not your fault none of this is, it was an accident you can't blame yourself for this!" Brooke said, trying to calm Nathan down.

"But I am, seriously this was all my fault, the only one that knew the truth is lying in a bed in the next room!" Nathan said very angrily referring to Lucas.

"What are you talking about?" Brooke asked.

"The reason Haley was hit by the car, was because I had to take a loan from these guys….. I couldn't pay them back so they told me to lose the state championship; that's partly why I played so crappy in the first half…. Well then Haley told me we were havingA son I felt joy and excitement and I wanted to make her happy so I played great and we won…." Nathan said in disbursement.

"So what does winning have to do with Haley getting hit?" Brooke said.

"Well that guy daunte he threatened me and said if we didn't lose that he would do something, but I thought he'd do something to me I never thought about Haley, and now she is in surgery and I don't know if my son or my wife will live……." Nathan said as he broke down into tears.

"OMG NATHAN! Why didn't you tell Haley she deserved to know?" Brooke said shockingly.

"I KNOW! Don't you think that I know that!! I was about to tell her when the car came, I didn't see it cause my back was to it, Haley yelled , " NATHAN LOOK OUT!" she pushed me out of the way, I didn't even know what was happening," Nathan said still angry.

"Its going to be ok Nathan I promise no matter what Haley is going to live and you will have a beautiful son! I am here for you Nathan I always have been and I still believe like I said at your wedding, "A love like this will not alter," Brooke said trying to encourage Nate.

"How can you be sure, and even if she does live I won't be able to look at her, I will feel to guilty and once I tell her the reason why she was hit by that psycho she's going to hate me!! I just know it…" Nathan said.

"I just know we'll get through it together, were all here for you Nathan we love you guys!" Brooke said.


A couple of hours of past now, and Peyton and Karen and Brooke had been by to say how sorry they were and visiting Lucas at the same time. Nathan spent hours in the waiting room just thinking contemplating on whether or not his unborn child and wife would still live. He was scared to death to what the future had in store for him.

"Nathan?" the doctor said.

"Yes?" Nathan said you could tell he was very nervous.

"Your wife is out of surgery…. You can come and see her now," the doctor said.

"Thank you," Nathan said.


Nathan walked into the room; it's as if silence hit the earth, because he couldn't hear anyone not even himself thinking. Maybe for that second of him walking into the room were his wife lay the world had stopped, Nathan's heart was beating faster and slower at the same time which he thought had to mean something.

"Nathan?" Haley said in a sort of trance state.

"Haley? OMG!" Nathan said shockingly

Nathan in that one second saw his future saw him and Haley with their child; it was almost like an alternate life. They all looked so happy, Nathan and Haley the way they used to be; it was great Nathan felt like he was in heaven or at least on top of the world.

"What happened?" Haley said all dazed and confused.
