Chapter 4


Its been an hour since Peyton was rushed into surgery. Lucas was becoming restless. He

twisted his wedding band gently praying that everything would be ok.

"Mr. Scott?", the doctor said as he came out of the OR.

"Yes"

"You have a son."

"Is he...is he ok? Can I see him."

"Now is not a good time. We barely got him out in time. He wasn't breathing."

"Is he ok?"

"We were able to resuscitate him, but his heart beat is very weak and he can't breathe on his own. These next few hours are going to be

critical for him. I'm so sorry to say this but I can't guarentee he will make it to the morning. The nurses are taking care of him now, in the Nicu "

"There has to be something you can do."

"We are going to do everything in our power to save your baby. He's a fighter. He was in a lot of distress in the womb.

Most babies wouldn't have made it."

"What about Peyton is she ok?", Brooke added.

"She hemeraged badly but she's young and she's strong. She should stabilize within the next few hours."

"Does she know about the baby?", Lucas asked.

"Umm, she unconscious right now."

"Can I sit with her?"

"I think that would be a great idea"

Lucas followed the doctor into the room. He felt like his heart was going to explode out of his chest. His baby might not make it through the

night. Peyton was unconscious. His world was falling apart and there was nothing he could do to stop it. He kept thinking that he shouldn't have

stopped at the Cafe for that cup of coffee, he would have been at the club sooner and none of this would of happened.

"Hey baby.", he whispered to her as he approached her bed. "We have a son.", a tear slowly fell down his cheek.

"I haven't seen him yet but I know he is beautiful just like you. He's with the doctors right now. There were...there were 'a few

complications. Everything's going to be ok though. You need to wake up for me. You can't die. I need you Peyton, our baby needs

you. He needs his mother"


Meanwhile...

"I can't believe this is happening.", Brooke said.

As the elevator doors opened Lindsey could see Haley & Brooke crying down the hall. With flowers in her hands

she slowly approached them.

"Hi", she said.

"Lindsey, what are you doing here?", Haley asked.

"How is she? How is the baby?"


All of a sudden the machines that Peyton was hooked up to started beeping out of control.

"Peyton don't do this. Peyton!", Lucas said and then ran out of the room searching for help.

"Peyton needs help. Something's wrong.", Lucas said to the doctor and then was once again rushed out of the room.

"I want to stay with her!"

"Let us just do out job Mr. Scott. Please wait outside", a nurse said


"Lindsey you shouldn't be here.", Brooke said.

"Where is Lucas?", Lindsey asked.

"I'm right here", Lucas said as he approached them with his tear stained cheeks.

"Lucas I'm so sorry."

"You're sorry? My baby is dying and so his Peyton!", he said with anger in his voice.

"What? The doctor said she would stabilize.?", Nathan asked

"Her heart rate just dropped."

"Lucas...", Lindsey said "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to upset her."

"I heard you yelling and her screaming for help because there was something wrong with our baby

! If you didn't want to upset her you would have never gone to see her! This is your fault!"

"I'm sorry.", Lindsey said as she began to cry

"Stop fighting guys!", Nathan said. "It doesn't matter who's fault it is! It doesn't matter what happened! It doesn't matter

who's guilty. What is comes down to is that Peyton and the baby are fighting for their lives and they need us!"

"Lindsey, you should leave", Haley said. "C'mon, I'll walk you out"

As Lindsey and Haley were walking away Dr. Winters came out of the OR again.

"Peyton is stabilized. We're moving Peyton to a room up in ICU"

"How long is she going to be unconscious?" Lucas asked.

"There is no way we can predict that. She almost died. She could be awake in two hours but it could be two days."

Ok, I am not a doctor so please excuse me if some things don't make sense. Thanks for reading!
