"Family of Peyton Sawyer?" Dr. Andrew Hampton called out. When he saw Nathan he tried to give him an encouraging smile but he didn't pull it off. He was use to seeing all kinds of cases but this case hit him hard and he swallowed at the thought of having to tell Nathan and Peyton's dad what else he had found out while doing the surgery.

Larry walked towards the Doctor and came to a stop at the same time as Nathan and he said "I'm Larry Peyton's father. How is my daughter doing?"

Dr. Hampton swallowed and looked Larry in the eye. "Hi, I'm Doctor Andrew Hampton and I'm the one who operated on your daughter Peyton. I'm going to be honest with you here so if you don't want all these people hearing what I have to say then we need to go talk some place private."

Larry shook his head. "No, it's alright. You can talk in front of all of them. They're all like family and I'd just end up telling them what you had to say so it'd be best for them to hear it from you so that I don't mess anything up."

Dr. Hampton nodded and looked at Nathan and then back at Larry. "As you know Peyton had broken ribs. We thought that she had only four broken ribs but it turned out that she had six broken ribs. One of the ribs punctured a lung and I had to re-inflate it. We lost Peyton five times during the surgery but we were able to revive her each time. She lost a lot of blood and she had to have three units of blood given to her."

Before Dr. Hampton could continue Larry cut in with "What do you mean you lost Peyton five times during surgery?"

Dr. Hampton sighed. "What I mean is that Peyton's heart quit beating five different times during the surgery. On the way to the hospital she crashed and while she was in the Emergency Room before being brought up here for surgery she crashed. Each time that Peyton's heart stopped beating and she stopped breathing we got her revived within a minute. Now as I was saying she had some internal bleeding which I stopped. I do have a question though. Were any of you aware that Peyton was pregnant?"

At soon as Dr. Hampton asked that question he saw from looking at everyone that nobody knew that Peyton was pregnant. He sighed and rubbed a hand over his face because he was afraid of that reaction. He was even more afraid of the reaction he would get after he finished saying what he need too. It was at times like this that he hated being a surgeon or a Doctor for that matter because he hated having to give bad news to those who had an injured loved one. Although in this case it could be considered a bad news, good news sort of thing but he still hated it.

"What do you mean my daughter was pregnant Dr. Hampton?" Larry finally demanded. He couldn't believe that his little girl had been pregnant and that she hadn't told him. Hell he couldn't believe that his little girl had technically died so many times tonight but still lived. At least he was assuming that she was still alive since Doctor Hampton hadn't said other wise.

"I meant exactly that Mr. Sawyer. The Doctor's in the Emergency Room got the rest of her blood test results after she had been in surgery for about an hour. Her blood work showed that she is approximately nine weeks pregnant." Dr. Hampton explained.

Larry's mouth dropped open in shock and then he gasped out "Wait are you saying that Peyton is still pregnant? You just said that she is approximately nine weeks pregnant. Is my daughter going to have a baby or did she lose it?"

Dr. Hampton held his hand up to stop the questions. "If you'll let me finish I'll try to answer any questions I think that you'll have. As I was saying her blood work shows that she's approximately nine weeks pregnant. We got the internal bleeding under control and I sutured the wound in her side from the knife. It looks like from the angle that the guy was trying to stab her stomach and had thought he succeeded but she moved to the side and it got her in the right side. I know that when she was brought in that the EMT's had also thought she was stabbed in the stomach but she wasn't. As soon as the surgery was over I did an Ultra Sound and Peyton's baby is still alive but it's way to early to tell if the baby is going to survive or not. Also Peyton has slipped into a coma which may be for the best so that her body can heal without stress. She has a grade three concussion so we'll be keeping a close eye on her. She's being moved to ICU right now as we speak. I'll bend the rules and you all can see her but I'm telling you now if there is anything or anyone that could end up stressing her I will have you removed from her room and the hospital. My first and main concern is my patient. Now before you see her you need to know that she has a tube coming out of her chest but that is draining any fluid that gets into her lungs since we had to re-inflate her lung. Any other questions?"

Larry nodded and said "How long will my daughter be in a coma for?"

Dr. Hampton shook his head. "I really can't predict that. What I can tell you is that if she doesn't come out of it in the next seventy two hours that her chance of survival will go down. Even if she comes out of it I may have to put her back in a medical induced coma if she becomes to stressed because the stress could harm her or her baby."

Larry nodded again and wiped at the tears that were falling down his face. "Thank you Doctor Hampton. Thank you for saving my baby girl."

Dr. Hampton smiled. "I'm just glad I was able too. I'll be checking on Peyton regularly to make sure that both her and the baby are alright as will an OBGYN."

Larry nodded and said "Thank you."

Dr. Hampton nodded and looked over at Nathan. "Nathan, I know that Peyton is a good friend of yours so I will allow you and her Dad to stay the night with her if you choose to. The rest of you can see her tonight and then during the day tomorrow and the evening but I don't want anyone besides Larry and Nathan to stay over night."

Lucas frowned as he watched the Doctor walk away and then he said "I should be able to stay with her since I'm the father of her baby."

Hearing what Lucas said brought Nathan out of the shock that he was in from hearing everything Dr. Hampton had to say and he rounded on his brother and punched him before anyone even knew what he was thinking as he growled "I think you've done enough Lucas! You need to leave."
