Chapter 6 -
The three boys ran as fast as they could into the emergency room. It was packed, this made Nathan even more worried.
"May I help you?" The lady asked.
"Yeah, it's my son, he has been acting strange lately and now we noticed that his arm is bent in a weird way. I think it might be broken." He was frantic.
"OK, fill out these forms, and the doctor wil see him soon. But I will say that we have a few things that are priority and we need to deal with them sooner."
"Alright." Nathan said unhappily.
They sat down, Ryan still hadn't calmed down, his crying was very annoying to most of the other people were giving him 'why can't he take care of his kid' looks.
"Here Nathan, I'll take him outside while you fill out these things." Lucas said, Nathan nodded.
He wrote down all the things he could with his birth certificate and other things haley had given him.
Lucas came in a little while later. Ryan had finally fallen asleep.
"Lucas, a lot of these things can't be answered. And, now he isn't convered by Haley's insurance unless I can have the number. I don't know what to do. I can't get ahold of her."
"I'll try through school, wherever her files were transfered to, and i'll send her major emails through my phone, don't worry Nathan we will get ahold of her."
Lucas went outside, he tried everything, but he couldn't get ahold of Haley.
They had to sit in the ER for hours, every time they thought they would be soon, a person who was in critical condition would come in.
They were finally in at seven that evening. They had been there alomst twelve hours.
"So what is it Mr. James I presume?" He said to Nathan.
"No my name is Scott, Nathan Scott." He said looking down at Ryan letting him curl his tiny hand around Nathan's finger.
The doctor eyed him in a weird way but then check Ryan's arm.
They had him in x-rays. Afterward he turned to Nathan. "Yes it is broken, do you know how it could have happened?"
"I have no idea unless something happened at daycare." Nathan replied.
"OK."
The doctor put a cast on him then he talked to the nurse, then he asked Nathan to stick around, he was confused, but he stayed just in case Ryan needed to be here.
A police officer arrived half an hour later. The doctor and him talked then he came in to see Nathan who was sitting with a sleeping Ryan.
"Son," The cop said. "I need for you to explain your relation to this child."
"he is my son, why do you want to know?"
"Do you have proof, a birth certificate, or anything?"
"No I don't, his mother never put me on the birth cetificate, then she left the baby at my house a few weeks ago. He is mine I swear."
"Son we don't doubt you, this has happened before, but we do think that there is something wrong in your situation, A few weeks ago a young baby about his age went missing."
"I heard about that, but I don't know anything about that I Promise."
"Son I want to believe you but situations are suspicious. We will need to take your son from you now. We will do a paternity test and if the child comes up as yours, then we will return him to you."
"No! You can't! He's my son." Nathan was furious. The police officer tried to calm him down.
"Son son, don't worry we will have him back to you in a few days."
The next few days were hell for Nathan. He had been arrested and taken to the station when he had refused to let the cops take Ryan away from him. Lucas had to bail him out. The couple who had lost their baby told athorities that Ryan was their baby. Nathan wanted to die, he was losing his baby. No one had come to him to do the paternity test.
One day when he was at home after the family had claimed the baby was theirs the cops came to Nathan's house.
"Nathan Scott, you are under the arrest for the kidnapping of James Carlson. You have the right to remain silent anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney, if you cannot provide one yourself, one will be provided to you."
"what the hell?" Nathan yelled. "That is my son. That family is lieing. No one has come to take a paternity test."
He decided to give up, he couldn't keep yelling it wasn't doing anything for him.
Haley on the other hand didn't know anything about what was going on.
