A/N: I just watched one of the season 8 episodes (with the car crash) and I couldn't let this idea go
Haley and Nathan almost never worried when their son didn't return home by his bedtime, the kid was exactly like Nathan had been, he liked to party and have fun, but unlike Nathan he was extremely smart, so his parents didn't worry he would get in trouble late at night. This night was different though, it was 2 o'clock in the morning, the night after a Tuesday season closer, and Nathan couldn't shake the feeling that something had happened to Jamie. Jamie was 17, a junior in highschool, and for his birthday his parents had bought him a Range Rover, the absence of the dark car from the drive way worried both parents. Haley, who was pregnant again,made sure their daughter, Lydia, was safe in bed, before coming into the brightly lit living room, she saw her husband pacing up and down the carpet floor and she knew something was wrong.
"Call Chuck." Nathan told his wife as he checked outside once again.
"Chuck? Hey it's ..." She paused and a look of sheer horror crossed her face,
"We'll be there right away...you sure he's okay?" She motioned for Nathan to call Lucas, who was back in town with his family, Lucas was on their doorstep three minutes later.
"What Hales? Where's Jamie?" Nathan begged, his wife had been silent since they had gotten into the car.
"Nate...there was a car crash... Jamie's in the ER with Chuck and Madison."
"Is he ok?"
"I don't know. Chuck said he was." She looked at him with sheer fear, and Nathan leaned over and kissed her on the head,
"Everything's going to be alright Hales." He promised as they swerved into the hospital parking lot. Nathan started sprinting towards the door, Haley running behind him, and when the worried couple came crashing into the ER, Chuck stood up to wave to them.
"Chuck! Where's Jamie?" Nathan said coldly and Chuck nodded towards the room across the hall,
"So just lots of rest and relaxation ok Jamie?" The doctor was talking to their son who was sitting on the table, his entire right arm encased in plaster who was looking worse for wear, Nathan's jaw dropped, it was lucky the season closer had been that night or Jamie would defintley be out of basketball. Jamie looked over at his parents,
"I'm okay Mom. Madison...Madison's not." He bit his lip to keep from crying,
"Where's Madison sweetie?" His mom asked as she watched her almost grown son revert to a five year old boy.
"She's in the ICU, she wasn't responding to the paramedics." He said through his held sobs. Nathan walked over and gave him a hug,
"Let's go see her." He handed him off to Haley and then turned to the doctor.
"So what's the story with his arm?"
"He shattered it pretty badly, I'd give it 6 weeks, then we'll see if it's progressing if it's not, well if it's not, there's a good chance he'll need surgery to restore it to full mobility. Don't worry, he'll be back on the court next season. His girlfriend though, there's something we haven't told him that we don't think would be in the best interest."
"And that is?" Nathan crossed his arms and looked at the doctor worriedly,
"Ms. Madison is about 4 weeks along, she's pregnant, and Jamie, being her boyfriend, well I'd assume he's the father, but it's unclear if she will survive much less the child." Nathan's jaw turned into a circle, leave it to his son to go and get his girlfriend pregnant at 17, and then he laughed to himself, he'd be a hypocrite if he got angry, he and Haley had Jamie when they were seniors.
"Thanks doc." He nodded at him and turned to join his family in the ICU.
"Hey Jamie can I talk to you?" He asked when he walked into the room, and Jamie gulped and nodded, following his father into the hallway, once they got there, Nathan's face turned stone serious,
"Are you sleeping with Madison?" He asked flat out and Jamie's eyes got huge,
"Um... Dad...that's kind of private."
"Answer the damn question."
"Yeah, yeah dad I'm sleeping with my girlfriend, what are you gonna do? Tell me it's wrong? You were married Junior year dad."
"Do you use protection?"
"DAD! My girlfriends in there dying and you're asking me if..." He paused, puzzling it together, "shit...she's not... Is she?"
"Yeah. Jamie, they don't know if either will survive. But I think you deserve to know. Now figure out how to tell your mother."
"My pregnant mother dad. Obviously I'm not the only one with a healthy sex life."
"Your mom and I are married Jamie!" He raised his voice and then took a deep breath, " Sorry. It's just a lot to take in. My son has a shattered arm. And he's a baby daddy. And you should go see Madison while you can." He let the breath go, " I'll deal with your mom." Jamie nodded and ran towards her room, he came in and saw her there, with tubes in and out of her mouth, machines were beeping, her right leg was in a cast almost as thick as the one on his arm, the neck brace that was currently trying to reestablish her breathing ability was tight around her neck, her brown hair was falling down over her face, he walked slowly over towards her sitting down in the seat next to him, propping his arm up on the chair and placing his other hand right on hers, ironically her hand was fanned over her currently flat stomach, he took a deep breath and started to talk,
"Come on Mads. I need you to wake up, we need you to wake up. Chuck feels awful about all of this, he really wants you to be okay. Good news! My arm should be fine by next season, I'm gonna want my girl there, and whatever this little guy is, wake up Madison, I need you both to be okay, I can't lose you like this." He blinked the tears in his eyes out, and kissed her cheek,
Meanwhile, Nathan had walked out to Haley,
"He knocked her up." And Haley's mouth widened,
"He what?"
"Madison's pregnant."
