Sometime Later
Haley bursted through the doors of the hospital with Chris Keller by her side she rushed towards the front desk and looked up at the receptionist.
"Jamie Scott. I need his room number right away." Haley said.
The receptionist tyed in her computer and looked back at Haley minutes later.
"What is you're relationship to the patient.?" She asked.
Haley's eyes went wide. This was the same receptionist she encountered the last time she was here.
"I'm his mother.!" Haley exclaimed louder then expected.
"He's in room 689." The receptionist said.
"Ms. James i have an update on you're son. If you and his father would follow me into a private room." She said.
Haley nodded her head in agreement and followed the doctor's lead across the hall. Nathan walking behind her.

Once everyone was in the room. The doctor turned and focused her gaze on them.
"We did a battery of tests before you arrived and while Mr. Scott remained in the waiting area. Jamie's cancer has progressed even further. It has gotten to the point where Jamie needs to remain in the hospital. We will give him medication to ease any pain he may experience going forward but i'm sorry to say. He's reached the end stages of this battle. How and when his life will end is on Jamie's terms. He's stable and awake. You can see him now if you like." She said. Looking to the pair of parents. As she left the room.
Haley took a deep breath. "It's happening too fast. No! my baby!" She yelled. The emotion thick in her voice.
Nathan wrapped his arms around her. As instinct soon took over.
Haley 's sobs became louder as she clung tightly to her. Her body going limp in his arms.

Chris clutched the results of the DNA he had done in his hands. The proof of his no strings attached secret relationship with Renee had resulted in an outcome he didn't picture at all.
He was a father to twins. Not just anyone. Mathew and Marcia the children Nathan was raising on his own.
