Chapter Eight: Nothing Left to Lose
Nathan looked at the doctor, as he opened his folder.
"Please tell us," Haley pleaded, tears falling.
"As far as we can tell, until we are able to get you an ultrasound, your baby seems to be well, alive," the doctor said.
"But you can't be for sure can you?" Nathan said, his eyes welling up.
"Not totally, not until your doctor gets here to give you an ultrasound," the doctor said.
Nathan had kept his cool as long as possible.
"You mean to tell me, that you come in here, and tell us you have news about our son," he paused long enough to catch his breath, "And all that you can tell us is that he seems to be alive?" Nathan yelled.
"Yeah, I'm truely sorry, I don't have anything else to share with you at the moment," the doctor.
Nathan sneered at him, "GET THE HELL OUT, NOW!" He yelled at the top of his lungs.
The doctor being scared ran out of the room.
"Nate, you gotta keep your cool man," Lucas said.
Nathan turned back toward Haley and saw that she was in tears.
"Oh, baby, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell," Nathan said, which brought him to tears.
"I just wanna know if my baby is still alive," Haley said.
"I know baby, I know," Nathan said, holding her hand to his chest.

They sat there for ten more minutes while Nathan tried to calm Haley down.
"Hales, honey, I gotta get Luke back to his room," Nathan said.
"Okay, I'll be fine," Haley said, sniffling away her on coming tears.
"I'll be back, I swear," Nathan said, before kissing her on the head.
Nathan grabbed the back of Luke's wheel chair.
"Dude, your totally cool now right?" Lucas asked, waiting till they were outside of Haley's room.
"Yeah, why?" Nathan asked.
"Because, I've almost died already, I don't feel like reliving the same experience," Lucas said.
Nathan smacked him in the back of the head.
"Shut up dude," Nathan said.
"I swear, if you scare me at all, I will tell my mommy," Lucas said.
"What are you two, you gonna tell your mommy on me," Nathan said, with a smile on his face.
"No, but I got you to smile though didn't I," Lucas said.
"Yeah, I guess you truely do have a gift Luke," Nathan said.
Please R&R...and I am sorry for any spelling mistakes...I've never really ever been much of a speller.
