This story is continuing Haley and Nathan's journey with them and their baby as well as Quinn, Clay, Brooke, and Julian. Enjoy

Nathan woke up to the phone ringing. The phone ringing at four in the morning couldn't be good news. The last time he got a call like that was when Q died. He turned on the light and reached for the phone. Haley was laying next to him, slowly waking up.

Flashback

"I'm pregnant." Haley beamed. Nathan couldn't believe it.

"Oh my god." Nathan smiled and pulled Haley's head in for a kiss. They leaned down on the bed and kissed next to the fireplace.

Flashback over.

"Who is that Nathan?" Haley sat up and rubbed her eyes. She only had the sheets pulled around her.

Nathan hung up the phone and looked at Haley, with an indescribably sad look.

Haley and Nathan stormed into the hospital. Haley was wearing a grey bobcats sweatshirt and sweats and Nathan wore jeans and a white t-shirt. They were in a busy hallway that was a make-shift waiting room that had a few chairs off to the side. Haley stormed up to Brooke as soon as she saw her, and Brooke grabbed her hands, holding her close.

"Haley-" Brooke was cut off.

"How is she? Is she okay?" Haley was starting to cry and was very anxious.

"Hales you should calm down, just sit down." Brooke put her hand on Haley's shoulder. Haley backed up and shook Brooke off.

"No I don't need to calm down I need someone to tell me where the hell my sister is!" Haley practically screamed. Tears were streaming down her face. You could tell she was about to break down. Nathan came in front of her and took her shoulders. She collapsed in his arms.

"Nathan, I.." She couldn't say anything.

"Shhh." Nathan tried to soothe her. He held her in the hug still. He looked up at Brooke with a concerned look. He knew this couldn't be good for Haley's depression. It had only been weeks ago that she tried to drown herself in the pool.

"Family of Clay Evans?" A doctor walked into the waiting area looking down at a clipboard.

"How is he?" Nathan said as he released Haley and walked up to the doctor.

"Clay is going to be okay. He sustained a gunshot wound to the right shoulder. We were able to remove the bullet and he is sleeping now. He'll probably need some physical therapy, but he should make a full recovery." The doctor gave a slight smile to Nathan and looked over to Brooke. Julian was standing behind Brooke, holding her shoulders. Haley stepped forward.

"And Quinn? Quinn James?" she wiped her tears off her face and looked up at the doctor.

"I'm afraid Quinn sustained some more serious injuries. She sustained a major gun shot wound. Quinn has fallen into a coma. There's no telling how serious it may be. It could be days, weeks…" The doctor stopped progressing with the times in sensitivity. Haley looked up at Nathan, devastated.

Haley sat next to Quinn in the hospital room. She had a bandage around her head and had monitors hooked up to her everywhere. Haley sat with a chair pulled up close to Quinn's bed. She held Quinn's hand in hers.

"Quinn, I need you to be okay. I need you to do that for me." Haley let the tears fall down her face. She touched her face to Quinn's hand. She sniffled and looked back up at her. "This can't be right Quinney. Y'know, Nathan and I are pregnant." Haley smiled quickly then it faded quickly. "But…I can't understand why the world is like this. Mom's dead and you could die. And brooke can't even have kids and Peyton nearly lost hers. So I guess I just don't understand how all of this terrible stuff can happen. How people just die and then their gone. How in a second you could be taken from me. But then I find out I'm pregnant and it all seems okay. So I guess I just don't get it. I'm confused Quinney. How can it be like this? H-ow can we b-e like this? Haley said inbetween sobs. She put her head down on the bed crying.

(2 weeks later)

Knock Knock. Brooke heard a knock at the door and opened it. It was Nathan and Jamie. Nathan looked tired and sad. Jamie looked sad but at least well rested.

"Hey cutie what's going on?" Brooke said softly as Jamie walked in.

"Hey aunt Brooke." Jamie said sadly. He walked in further and sat on the couch. Brooke and Nathan still stood at the door.

"Hey buddy." Brooke looked up at Nathan. "How are you? How's Haley?" Brooke said slowly.

"I'm doing okay, I guess. Haley? She's not so good Brooke. I can't get through to her. It's like she doesn't hear me anymore. She's acting like…" Nathan looked at Brooke with a sad expression. Brooke nodded in understanding. "But if she's not going to take care of herself for her or me or Jamie, I'm praying she'll do it for the baby." Brooke opened her mouth and uttered a small inaudible sound. "Yeah, we're pregnant." Nathan scratched the back of his head uncomfortably. "I just have the feeling that the only reason she might not try to hurt herself is because of this baby. And that scares me." He said, shrugging. He looked at Brooke who looked surprised and devastated at the same time.

"Oh Brooke I'm sorry I know how much you—'' Nathan was about to apologize when Brooke pulled him in for a hug.

"You're okay. She's going to be fine." Brooke said softly as they stood in the doorway hugging. She pulled away slowly. "Okay. Okay, I've got Jamie, don't worry. Go take care of your wife. I'll be here." Brooke smiled and Nathan gave a smile back and a little wave as he turned and walked away. Brooke closed the door and turned and looked at Jamie and smiled sympathetically.

Nathan walked into Quinn's hospital room and walked up behind Haley who was sitting next to Quinn. She was sitting with her legs up on the chair, hugging them. She was staring blankly at Quinn. She was still wearing Nathan's bobcat's sweatshirts, but she was wearing different pants. She had her hair up in a messy bun, and looked like she hadn't showered in a long while. She looked exhausted, with huge circles under her eyes. Nathan crouched next to Haley, resting his head on the arm of the chair.

"Hales," Nathan started to try to say something. He didn't know what to say. He rubbed her arm and tried to get her to look at him. "Hales you've got to go home and get some rest." Nathan looked into her eyes, but she was still staring blankly.

Haley wiped her eyes. "No, I can't. I need to be here if…when she wakes up." She finally looked at Nathan. Seeing her like this broke his heart.

"Haley you can't do this to yourself. Quinn would want you to take care of yourself, and take care of Jamie. And this baby Haley." Haley's head jerked up when he said this and she was suddenly paying attention. "Hales if you aren't going to take care of you for you, do it for the baby. Do it for me and Jamie. Quinn is going to be okay. I promise." Nathan put his hand on her arm. She was finally really looking at him. Then Clay walked in. His arm was in a sling but he still looked pretty put together. He first looked at Quinn with a devastated look. He then turned to Haley and Nathan.

"Haley, he's right. You should go home, get something to eat, take a shower, see Jamie. I'll be here with her. If she wakes up I'll call you." Haley hesitated, not sure of what to do. "I promise Haley. Now go home." Clay nodded and walked over to sit down next to Quinn.

"Yeah, okay, I should go home for a while." Haley said, getting up. Nathan grabbed her bag and put his hand behind her waist as they walked out.

Clay sat in silence, holding Quinn's hand. Suddenly her monitor goes to a flat line. Clay stood up immediately and hovered over Quinn.

"Somebody help! Somebody help her! Please!" Clay shouted frantically, shaking the sides of the bed as doctors and nurses walked in. A couple men were pushing him out so the doctors could work. He was outside of the room now, looking through a window.

"Quinn!" He screamed as he banged on the window.

Haley walked downstairs and walked over to Nathan who was in the kitchen. She was wearing a white robe, and her hair was wet but had been brushed out. "That felt good." Haley said, smiling a little. She sat down on one of the counter stools. Nathan finished pouring a cup of coffee for Haley and him. He walked over to her and sat next to her. He handed her the coffee.

"I'm glad you came home." He smiled at her, trying to look in her eyes. She smiled a little to please him, glancing up at him quickly, but then looking away.

"Yeah." She took a sip of her coffee. She looked up at Nathan. He entagled his hand with hers on top of the counter. He squeezed it tightly and rubbed his thumb on her hand.

Haley sighed. " I love you." She looked up at him.

"I love you too baby." Nathan put his other hand behind her head and rubbed it. Then the phone rang. Nathan popped up to answer it. Haley's head snapped up and stared at Nathan as he answered it. "Yes, okay, I'll tell her. Thank you." Nathan hung up the phone.

"What? What is it?" Haley questioned him, getting up from her seat.

"It's your sister. She's awake." Nathan stared at Haley and she stared back, shocked, standing 5 feet apart in the kitchen.
