Chapter Four: Awake
Nathan walked the short corridor to Lucas's room. He knew Luke would be excited to know that Haley was going to not only pull through, but that she is more than likely going to wake up. He got to Lucas's room, and looked in through the small window on the door. Luke was staring out the window, no doubt worrying for his best friend. Nathan opened the door, and walked in.
"Hey, Nate, any news?" Lucas asked.
"Actually, yeah there is," Nathan said.
"Is it good or bad, because frankly I don't think I can handle any bad news right now," Lucas said trying to stiffle a tear that had formed in the corner of his eye.
"It's good news, Luke," Nathan said, as he saw a glimmer of hope show up in his brother's eyes.
"Well, don't leave me hanging man," Lucas said.
"She is going to be fine, in fact the nurse seems to think she'll wake up soon," Nathan said.
"Aw, man thats beyond awesome," Lucas said as he reached out to hug his brother.
"Yeah, it is, but look I gotta get back to her room, I wanna be there when she wakes up," Nathan said.
"Yeah, I understand man, just keep me up to date," Lucas said.
"Oh, you know I will man," Nathan said.
He hugged his brother one more time before walking out of his room. He turned right and headed toward ICU, which would lead him to his wife's room. For the first time, he was excited to get there. He reached her door, before he knew it. He walked in and saw that a nurse was standing near her.
"Whats going on?" Nathan asked.
"Oh, I'm just checking on her," Nurse Adams explained.
"But Nurse Robinson, just checked on her," Nathan said, in a worried voice.
"Yes, I know, but Nurse Robinson is gone to lunch, and I was told as soon as your wife woke up to check on her," Nurse Adams said.
"When she woke up?" Nathan asked in a confused tone.
"Nathan," Haley was barely able to squeak out.
Nathan walked around the side of the bed, to see that in fact, his wife, had indeed opened her eyes. Nathan just let the tears come freely, he was to tired to fight them off again, besides this he felt, was a reason to cry.
"Please don't cry," Haley said, grabbing hold of her husband's hand.
"Oh, baby, I'm so happy your awake," Nathan said, as he leaned in and kiss her cheek gently.
"What about the baby?" she asked, looking into his eyes.
