How far will you go for love? For an obsession?

"Cruel Intentions"

Everyone stood in front of the door, waiting anxiously for one of the nurses or doctors to walk out and tell them the news. Long minutes have passed as Dustin spots Mr. Hanson and Natalie walking side by side together down the hallway. He eyes the two suspiciously until they made a turn where they were no longer seen in the distance. Dustin shrugs it off as he approaches Mrs. Hanson nearby, crying silently in a corner.

Meanwhile...

"Mr. Hanson, what are you doing?" Natalie hisses to him as they came to a complete stop in a deserted area. She looks around to make sure the coast was clear. "You don't want them to seem all suspicious now, do you? Dustin already suspects something is going on!"

"No. Of course not." He replies in a whisper. "I just want to make sure that you haven't told anyone about Nathan and who the real father is."

"Of course not! I love Hunter and I would do anything to get him back!"

Mr. Hanson rolls his eyes. So desperate, he thought. "Good because I don't want to see my daughter ruining her life with this boy. He has done enough damage than he already has!"

"Mr. Hanson, just out of curiosity..." Natalie looks up at the old man. "Why are you doing this to your daughter again? It is kind of cruel don't you think? I mean, don't get me wrong or anything, I love this idea--it's just well---you're her father after all--shouldn't you be giving her support?"

He sighs. "I'm doing this for her sake. This Hunter guy is bad news. He brainwashed her and made her think that she's in love with him! Not only that, but he betrayed and humiliated my daughter on live television! Now can you come up with another reason?"

Natalie bit her lips. "Well, part if it was my fault you know..." She admits innocently.

"No kidding." He shot her an evil glance. "But that punch made up for it." Natalie glares at him. "I gotta tell yah...my daughter is a feisty one. Never mess with her."

"Well, when it comes to Hunter...no one crosses my path!"

"HEY!" Mr. Hanson pulls her shoulder towards him. "If you try to hurt my girl in any possible way, I'll be the first person you'll see."

Natalie beams coldly at the old man. "Oh please, Mr. Hanson. You're hurting her already...so I guess we're even."

"Mrs. Hanson...are you okay?" Dustin asks worriedly as he situates her on a chair.

"Waldo?" She sniffs while looking up at him. "Is that really you?"

He cracks a smile. "It's Dustin."

"Ah, yes. How can I forget? Dustin, you grew up to be quite a handsome young man."

He blushes in pleased embarrassment. "Well thanks, Mrs. Hanson. You are a lovely woman yourself."

She chuckles. "Yeah right. Look at me. I'm a complete mess."

Dustin sighs deeply. "Don't worry, we all are." He turns around and spots Hunter speaking with Dr. Evans nearby.

"She'll be fine, Bradley. Tori just went through a bit of a shock and passed out."

Hunter breathes in relief. "Wow, thank God. Can I see her?"

"In a bit, but for now we need to run a few tests on her to make sure everything is okay." The young doctor tells him.

He nods. "Alright. Thank you." Hunter turns around and faces the others. "She'll be fine." He smiles to them as they release a sigh of relief. The dirty blonde looks over at his brother with Nathan in his arms. He averts from their gazes and sighs at the thought of losing his son as well. Not that something was wrong with him...but Hunter was beginning to feel as if he isn't the father of little Nathan himself. He was growing up to look much like his brother...

"Bro...you alright?" Blake asks, waving a hand in front of him.

He looks up and forced a smile for his sake. "Yeah, man. I'm just--"

Blake lifts his eyebrows, waiting for him to finish. "Just what?"

Hunter stares at his son once again and smiles. "Well I noticed Nathan seems to be more at home with you."

He chuckles. "Bro, I bet he's tired of seeing so much of his uncle."

"Dude, he can't even see yet."

Blake pursed his lips. "Well you do got a point there. But I bet he misses his old man."

Hunter laughs. "Hey! I'm not that old."

"Ahem."

A voice coughs from behind as the two Bradley brothers turn around and finds a very attractive doctor standing before them. She was a luscious red head with seductive hazel nut eyes. Blake could not take his gaze off her for a second as Hunter snickers silently among himself at the fact that his little brother was so checking her out. "Which one of you is Hunter Bradley?" She asks while putting her glasses on, which made her look much hotter...according to what Blake thought at that very moment.

"Um, I'm Hunter."

The doctor turns to the dirty blonde. "Good evening. My name is Crystal Lynn."

The two shook hands when suddenly Blake shoves Hunter out of the way. "And I'm Blake." She smiles at him and stares down at the child he was holding. "Oh! He's not mine. My brother's actually. And yes, I'm single." Blake adds on as Hunter rolls his eyes from behind. Crystal Lynn felt flattered.

"Well, it was a pleasure to meet you."

Blake winks. "You too."

The doctor turns her gaze back to Hunter. "Anyway, I called your wife, Natalie--"

"She's not my wife." He corrects her sharply.

She nods. "I apologize."

"It's okay. So what about Natalie?"

"Well, I called her a few days ago and for some reason we got cut off the line." Hunter continues to listen. "Anyway, the conversation was concerning your son, Nathan."

He wrinkles his forehead in utter confusion. "What about my son? Is he alright?" He asks worriedly.

Crystal Lynn sighs. "Yes, he's fine. But this has to do with you as well."

Hunter and Blake exchange looks.

"We need to talk privately. I scheduled an appointment to discuss this serious issue with you and Ms. Natalie Jordan, but she hasn't contacted the hospital nor myself. It is important we get this out of the way."

Blake lifts a brow while leaning towards Hunter. "Sounds serious, bro."

He sighs. "Well, doc...I don't hide anything from my little brother, so you if you don't mind...I would like it if he'd come with us to accompany my son."

Crystal Lynn nods. "Very well. Follow me."

Blake turns to Hunter and smiles widely at him. "Thanks, bro. I owe you one."

He chuckles. "Oh yeah. BIG time."

"What the..."

Natalie beams coldy at their direction, wondering where they were taking Nathan--alongside Hunter and Blake. She could feel her temper rising in anger as she excuses herself from Mr. Hanson and begins stammering towards them.

"Um excuse me?" Natalie stood in front of them with her hands on her hips. "May I ask what the hell are you doing with my son?"

Hunter and Blake exchange looks due to the model's awkward and rude behavior. "You must be Natalie." The red head spoke up first. "I'm Crystal Lynn. I was the one that called you about--"

"Ah, yes. How can I forget? My phone line must've went off."

She nods. "Well yes. About our discussion--"

"Listen." Natalie interrupts her. "May I speak with you alone?"

"Sure. Excuse me, gentlemen." Crystal Lynn leads her to an office nearby. The two ladies walked in and shut the door behind. "So what--"

Natalie stares at her for brief moment as she takes her by the collar and pushes her against the wall. The doctor looks at her in terror as she raises her hands up defensively. "Listen, bitch! You listen...and you listen up good! Do not tell anyone that Hunter isn't the father of my son."

She gasps in disbelief. "What? You know about it?"

"Shhh! Yes!" Natalie hisses. "Now...if you mention a word about it, I'll make sure you walk out of this hospital jobless!"

The doctor glares evilly at her. "So then who's the father?"

"Shut up! Why the hell should I know?!"

Crystal Lynn releases herself from Natalie's grip and fixes her collar. "Why are you doing this?"

The model rolls her eyes. "Do you have to ask so many questions?"

"Well, since you're filling me in with information...I think I have the right to know." She folds her arms and looks at her.

Natalie groans. "Nathan is the only key to our relationship. But unfortunately, Hunter is still madly in love with Tori." She states in disgust. "But that my friend will soon be over because the precious blonde is dying towards her grave. And when they bury her 6 feet under...Hunter would have no choice, but to move on...with me."

The doctor nods her head in dismay. "You are sick!"

Natalie shot a glance at her. "Like I said! If you say anything..."

"Look here..." Crystal Lynn goes ahead and interrupts. "I'm a doctor and whether you file a complaint about me or not...you'll have no reasonable evidence to back it up with. What are you going to say huh? This woman violated my secret?"

Natalie giggles evilly. "You have no idea who I am, do you? I'm Natalie Jordan for crying out loud! I am worth a lot of money and I could get the best lawyers out there!"

"Oh please. What YOU are doing is very wrong! Not only are you using your child to get what you want...but you're hurting the real father here, especially Hunter."

Natalie looks down.

"Think about how he would feel once he knows the truth."

"Which is why he won't find out!" She yells in frustration."

Crystal Lynn sighs. "I don't believe this."

"Well believe it, and I mean what I say."

"About what? Threatening me to lose my job?" She laughs. "Face it, sister...I'm not about to lose my job over this dilemma of yours. I'm gonna do what's right and you can't do anything about it." The doctor turns around and heads out for the door.

Natalie wasn't going to give this one up as she sneakily takes something out from her purse.

"Well, it's a shame you feel that way."

Crystal Lynn wrinkles her forehead. "What does that supposed to mean?" She asks while turing around in slow motion. The doctor looks down and gasps. "Oh my God..."

"That's right." Natalie plasters a malice grin as she points a gun towards her. "We could do this the easier way...or the harder way. It's your choice."

The doctor shuts her eyes and gulps nervously. She had no idea what she just put herself into. No idea.
