Okay, I know I promised every weekend but I was busy so here it is. It's only Monday so it's not totally late but school sucks and my teachers already hate me! I thought I was a lovable person but I guess not so much anymore. Again, I need suggestion or else I'm ending the story with one more chapter. That's right, ending it; no more updates or sequels. So if you want this story to stay alive give me your ideas and feedback because really I'm losing inspiration.(Hint: reviews inspire me!)

"Nate come on!" Lucas yelled down the hallway chasing Nathan, "Stop man!"

"Why?" Nathan halted, breathing heavily.

"Because she needs you, that's why." Lucas panted next to him. He was never a strong sprinter.

"She needs me?" Nathan laughed and cried at the same time, "Look at what I've done to her. The last thing she needs is me."

"She loves you Nate. She needs you there." Lucas touched his little brother's shoulder, "This wasn't your fault Nate."

"Yes it was Lucas!" Nathan jumped back, "Because I can't handle my dad. Look at what he's done to me."

"Nathan, snap the hell out of it!" Lucas shook him, "It wasn't your fault. Shit happens man but you got to deal. Haley needs you right now. If you really love her go, now. Help her through this."

"How can I help her if I can't even help myself?" Nathan didn't even look like Nathan anymore. He was so angry at the world it was consuming him.

"Help each other. If you're strong for her, she'll be strong for you!" Lucas had never seen Nathan like this before; so broken and hate filled.

"You make it sound so easy Luke, but it's not." Nathan shook his head.

"I'm not saying it is. Me of all people know it's not easy, but just try." Lucas urged Nathan for Haley's sake. No matter how apposed to their relationship he had been, Lucas realized how much they really loved each other. He needed to help them out.

"I can't Lucas. I messed up real bad this time. She's paralyzed for god's sake!" Nathan was furious with himself and Lucas and most of all Dan.

"Suck it up already! Go be with her! She's alive! What more could you want?" Lucas was done with reasoning. Nathan was going back in there with Haley if it killed him.

"I want her to play basketball and take walks on the beach." Nathan's tone softened, "Id that too much to ask?"

"Good people die all the time, always too soon. We still have Hales with us." Lucas sank into a seat, "That more than enough."

"You always just settle Lucas; that's your problem. You never long for more." Nathan sat down nect to Lucas.

"I want to savor what I have because I know it won't last." Lucas rested his headi n his hands, "Plus I've got anything I've ever wanted."

"Way to rub it in." Nathan's mood lightened. He had everything he'd ever wanted too but now it was broken.

"Ready to go back?" Though this brotherly moment was nice, Lucas wanted to go back with Brooke and the kids.

"Do I have a choice?" That was Nathan's final attempt of escape before he was defeated.

"Let's go." Lucas stood up and headed back towards the hospital room. As they got closer they heard laughing and laughing. Lucas and Nathan peaked into the room and saw everyone almost rolling on the floor laughing.

"What's so funny?" Lucas asked and everyone sniffled back their laughter.

"Good question." Haley smiled widely, "I forgot what was so funny. One minute it was quiet and the next we were in stitches."

Haley saying 'stitches' sent them all back into their giggle-fest and everyone knows how giggles are contagious.

"God, I love you guys!" Haley said, gasping for air as she laughed.

"On that note," Lucas said wiping some tears from his eyes, "We're going to get going."

"Alright," Haley wiped her tears too, "Don't have too much fun without me."

"I don't think you'd want to join in with what we're doing." Lucas eyed her teasingly.

"Ew! Lucas!" Haley scrunched her face up, "Way to ruin a moment."

"Yeah and who says you're getting any anyway?" Brooke's face blushed a bit talking about what they did behind closed doors.

"Ooooh!" Jake and Peyton moaned, "Good one!"

"You just remember that later." Lucas scooped up Braden and threw him over his shoulder, "Let's move out troops!"

"Yes sir!" Brooke played along because it seemed to be amusing Braden.

"Yessir!" Braden imitated his mother bouncing up and down on Lucas' shoulders.

"'Night everyone!" They yelled as the left the room and headed down to the car. Once the kids were safely strapped in their respective car seats they drove away.

"So Mr. Scott what did you have in mind for tonight?" Brooke touched his arm seductively.

"Just the usual things we do at night." Lucas shrugged keeping his focus on the road.

"What you snore and take the covers from me?" Brooke crossed her arms across her chest. She acted like she was ten years old and pouting.

"Yes ma'am." Lucas played his Scott smile and it just seemed to warm the car.

"You suck, you know that." Brooke focused out the window trying to pretend to be mad at him but she was finding it very hard.

"I think we're going to head out too." Jake stood waking the snoozing Peyton up, "Someone needs her beauty sleep."

"You're right Jake, you're looking kind of ugly lately." Haley defended her half-asleep friend.

"Ouch." Jake set himself up for that one.

"One point Haley, zero points Jake!" Haley held her hands up in the touchdown signal.

"Real mature Haley." Jake mocked genuine hurt.

"You know I love you Jake." Haley stuck out her bottom lip as if begging for forgiveness.

"Whoa!" Peyton snapped out of her half asleep trance-like state, "He's mine bitch!"

Everyone's eyes were wide from Peyton's sudden outburst. Then they erupted into laughter again but stopped a lot sooner than before.

"Hormones." Peyton said sheepishly turning red.

"At least you've got an excuse for the next, what, five months." Haley shrugged and closed her eyes.

"Looks like I'm not the only one who's tired." Peyton leaned her head on Jake's shoulder as he walked them too the door.

"See you all tomorrow." Jake closed the door behind them.

"Goodnight all." Haley said as she snuggled into her pillow. It had been a long day for her and she wasn't up for anymore excitement.

"'Night Hales." Nathan whispered snuggling into the bed next to hers, "I love you."

"Love you too Nate." Haley whispered back, ""Night sweetie.

"What a day." Jake said lifting a sleeping Jenny from her carseat.

"You're telling me." Peyton hoisted herself out of the car, "You're not the one carrying twins."

"I will be when they're born. If you add Jenny that'll be like carrying really fat triplets." Jake joked as he unlocked the door to his home.

"Fat?" Peyton stopped dead in her tracks, "You think I'm fat?"

"I said the babies plus Jenny would be like fat triplets. Nothing implied you in that statement." Jake knew he had to be careful with what he said. One small mistake could send Peyton on a hormonal rampage.

"If the babies were fat that would mean I ate too much and I would be fat too!" Peyton crossed her arms across her chest. She looked her age for once; only eighteen. She thought after what happened with Brooke and Lucas she'd have been more careful but no she ends up with twins.

"Baby, you're not fat. End of discussion." Jake held the door opened for her as she walked through.

"It's not over 'til the fat lady sings and I haven't sung yet." Peyton said and pounded up to the bathroom.

There you go, another chapter down. Remember no suggestions no more story! I'm horrible aren't I? And anyone who wants to name the twins please let me know...tell me if you want both girls...both boys...or one of each...then give me the names...first come first picked. REVIEW WITH SUGGESTIONS!!
