Chapter 6- Bad news"Lucas!" Nathan yelled as he saw his confused blonde hair brother.
"Nathan, what the hell is going on?" Lucas studied his younger brothers face. His face was red, and you could see the trails of the tears that he had been crying lately.
"Luke, I don't know. The doctors don't know. All the will tell me is that she's in surgery, they asked me all these questions."
"Nate, what kindda questions?"
"The-they wanted to know if I would rather save the baby then her if it came to it." Nathan saw the eagering look in his brother's eyes. "Man of course I said save Haley. They also asked me to-to-to…" Nathan couldn't finish his sentence his just took a small business card out of his pocket and handed it to Luke.
Luke held the card upside-down, afraid to flip it over. He was afraid to see what had apparently scared the shit out of his brother. Luke drew the deepest breath of his life and flipped the card over, and his eyes scanned only the first line.
As his eyes read the words Lucas entered Nathan's new found world. He felt numb, and didn't notice that the card had fluttered out of his hand and landed face up on the ground.
'Haley's fine. She's strong. She'll live. Don't worry Lucas, please don't. Don't show Nathan that you're scared too.' Lucas thought. Then he saw the card bent down and picked it up. The card read:
Do you wish to be an organ donor if somehow you die before your time? If so please fill out the information below?
Lucas got a pen from the receptionist and began to fill out the card. He knew it would be what Haley would want. After he finished the card he hand both it and the pen back to the receptionist and looked for Nathan.
"Bro, did you call anyone? You know beside me?"
"No."
"Maybe you should call Brooke, her and Hales were pretty close. Or maybe Peyton?"
"Are."
"What?"
"Hales and Brooke and Peyton are close. She's not dead, she's alive Luke. She has to be." Nathan uttered the last part under his breath.
The Scott brothers went and sat down, Haley had been emitted to the ER at 1:30, and she went into surgery at 1:40. It was now 6 o'clock.
"Nathan gimme your phone."
"Why?" He answered, his face still motionless.
"Just hand me it."
Okay," Nathan said emotionlessly and handed the cell to Luke.
___ On the phone.
"Brooke?" Luke asked into the receiver.
"Yea? Who's this?"
"It's Luke, listen can you come to the hospital?"
"Sure but why?" Brooke's heartbeat began to speed up.
"Haley…" That's all he needed to say.
"Be right there." Brook e hung up and call a couple people: Peyton, Karen, Keith, Jake and Tim. The message was the same to all of them:
"Hey, it's Brooke, listen it's important. Haley is in the hospital, in the ER. Get down there as soon as possible." Then she would hang up and call the next person.

About 20 minutes later the whole gang had showed up, Karen and Keith still clueless to the baby. Then he came out.
A doctor in white scrubs appeared from the ER wing.
"I need to talk to two people here. She's alive and has been mumbling your names." Everyone looked up, hoping that Haley had wanted to see him or her.
"Well who?"
"Nathan and Lucas." The two brothers stood and followed the doctor back to recovery. There she was the sedative had just began to work. There laid a fragile, pale Haley. She had I.V.s in her arm, and a breathing tube. She was also on a heart monitor.
" Boys, there is some good news and bad news." The boys' eyes remanded forced on Haley, yet they acknowledged the doctor.
"Your friend here," both boys cut him off.
"Sister," said Lucas.
"Fiancé," said Nathan. Lucas looked at him, and saw the little box that he had been gripping for comfort since he had arrived.
"Okay, the good news is the baby is perfectly fine, I say the due date is in two weeks, about August 29." He said with a reassuring smile.
"So what wrong with her?" Nathan asked.
"Beg pardon?" the doctor taken aback from his eagerness to know.
"You said that there was good news and bad."
"You did say that," Lucas chimed in.
The doctor's face was solemn. 'This has to be very bad.' Nathan thought judging from Doctor Podem's eyes.
"Haley has contracted a rare form of uterus cancer. If she doesn't have the baby she could die. If she has the baby she could become infertile. There is no other way around it."
"So she just needs to have the baby and she can't have anymore?" The doctor nodded. "But she won't die right?"
The doctor's dark brown eyes warned Nathan that the answer wouldn't be to his liking.
"Mr. Scott, I will not sugarcoat this problem. If any more stress is put on her and the baby both of them will die. The baby will not be able to be born naturally, and a C-section could kill her. On the other hand if she would just have the baby there is a 70% chance that she will become sterile, and a 50% that she will die."
Nathan's heart sunk. 'Even if both Haley and the baby lived, they wouldn't be able to have any more children. If the both died Nathan would become a lost soul. If only there was another way.'
Something else was troubling Nathan. "Doctor?"
"The wrinkled man looked up from his papers. "Yes?"
"I need to ask favor, actually I need to ask two."
"If it will help ease the burdens of the situation then by all means shoot."
"Around when did she conceive the baby?"
"Well that is odd but I would say some time around New Years, but why do you ask?" Both the Doctor and Lucas seemed to be confused about where Nathan was going with this.
Then Nathan spoke up. "I wasn't sleeping with her that long ago." Nathan searched through his head. He was almost afraid to ask his second favor.
"I want a paternity test." His words echoed through the room. His monotone voice held an unknown tone; the tone was one of seriousness and regret.
