Chapter Three: What am I going to do?

Two hours have gone by since the police told Haley and Brooke about what happened to Heather. And surprised the two, with new information about Heather having a daughter and the girl's birth certificate had Lucas down as the father. The officers also told the two that Hannah had no other family besides Luke that could take her, and that she was in temporary custody of a social worker, Rory Funk, from the New York City Social Services Office, and since Luke never knew about the girl, a blood test would have to be done so that they can prove Lucas Scott is the father.

Brooke of course, had no objections about a blood test being done on Hannah and Luke, saying "If we are going to take this girl into our home, she better be Lucas's or she's not coming." She spat to Haley. Brooke by this time was so upset that she could barley get out the words when she called the airlines to make arrangements to fly from Los Angles to Orlando to meet Lucas and Nathan, then to fly from Orlando to New York City. "God Damn itâ€this is going to be a hell of a long flight... Haley, call Peyton to watch the girls because there no way in hell that I'm flying by my self, you're coming with me." Haley knew better than to protest, so she picked up her cell phone and called Peyton's number.

After Haley called Peyton, she called Luke to tell him in the most gentle way what was going on.

By the time Brooke, Lucas, Haley, and Nathan got to New York City it was five in the morning. And six o'clock by the time they arrived at the hospital. (Lets add no sleep, two pregnant hormonal woman, and two very worn out/ cranky/ confused brothers, that equals too, doctors worst nightmare...right?)

The four of them walked up to the first floor receptionist. "Hello, I'm sorry, visiting hour aren't until seven."

Brooke getting really irritated, walked up to her and yelled "Look lady, I really don't want to be here, but we are here to see Heather Scott, so unless you want to loose an eye tell us what room she's in." Nathan quickly crabbed Brooke and pulled her back from the desk. "Ohm, sorry about that, pregnant woman you know... hormonal, Ohm, we just few along way to get here, and we really need to check on Heather Scott...she was in a car accident on Thursday." Nathan said as nicely as he could, getting glared at by his wife and sister-in-law for the statement.

The receptionist look at her computer then started typing "What was the name, again?"

"Heather Scott." Nathan answered

"Ohm, yes we have a Scott in the ISU, but you have to be family to see her."

"We are." Nathan answered.

The receptionist pulled out some name tags from her desk "Since you're here before visiting hours you will have to wear these, can I please get your names."

"Nathan Scott...Haley Scott...Lucas Scott...and Brooke Scott." Nathan answered giving the woman time to right each name down.

"Okay, she's on the third floor in ICU unit five" she said handing them the name tags.

"Thank you and sorry about a sister-in-law." Nathan said, getting another glared from Brooke.

Up in the ISU. Nathan, Haley, and Brooke where in the waited room while Luke talked to Heather's doctor. Thirty minutes later Luke walked into the room. The Three stood up. Luke took a deep breath "The doctor told me that Heather received ten broken bones, and a serious blow to the head, which has left her in a coma and a lot of brain damage, he doesn't believe that she will ever wake up. He also told me the only reason that she alive now is because the have her on life support." He took another deep breath then continued "He told we that I need to make a decision on weather or not to take her off it." Luke broke down then and there, falling to his knees and burying his face in his hands. Brooke knelt beside him and placed her arms around him and pulled him towards her as much as she could with out swashing her pregnant belly. "What am I going to do?" Luke cried. "Shh, baby, Shh, it will be okay, we'll figure it out." Brooke said tring her best to comfort her husband. Nathan and Haley both did as Brooke did and knelt down beside Luke and held him.
