This is the last part I have written so it might be a while before I update. I'll try to get it done asap.
Nathan was pacing up and down the corridor with one thing on his mind. Haley. He had no idea how long he'd been there when Peyton rushed up to Lucas who still looked devastated. "Brooke's going in to surgery," Peyton said in a rush.
"What?" Lucas said in surprise.
"I managed to track Victoria down and she faxed through her signature so Brooke's going in to surgery now," Peyton said. "Unfortunately Brooke's mother is also catching a flight back here which means we'll have to deal with hurricane Victoria in half a day's time." Luke gave her a weak smile, realising that she was trying to lighten the mood. "Luke, you need to eat something," Peyton said. "This isn't healthy and worrying about her isn't going to help her get any better."
"Peyton…"
"I'm just as scared as you are about losing her," Peyton said firmly. "You know that. She's my best friend. Waiting here scared stiff isn't going to help." Lucas closed his eyes and nodded. He followed Peyton to the hospital cafeteria, leaving Nathan worrying about his wife.
Hours later Nathan saw a doctor approaching him. "How is she?" Nathan asked immediately.
"We've managed to stop the internal bleeding," the doctor said. "She's in recovery right now and she should be okay but I'm afraid I have some bad news for you too."
"What?" Nathan said holding his breath.
"It was probably too early for her to even be aware of it, but she was pregnant," the doctor said. "We weren't able to save the baby. She's had a miscarriage". Nathan closed his eyes for a second or two to absorb that horrible information.
"Okay," Nathan said slowly. "But… she… she'll be okay, won't she?" Nathan asked.
"If she wakes up, she'll be fine.
"Is she likely to wake up?" Nathan asked, getting to the question that was terrifying him.
"Probably," the doctor said with a quick glance to the window on the right. "Follow me if you want to see her." Nathan did what the doctor told him to and ended up sitting by Haley's bed. She looked as pale and cold. He put a hand to her cheek gently, feeling the faint heat emanating from her skin. It was reassuring that simple touch. He pulled up a chair and held her hand tightly. He was determined not to let go of it.
