Chapter Nine
The helicopter arrived at the hospital right as Jake hung up the phone. They rushed into the hospital as fast as they could and were immediately met by emergency physicians, a trauma team, and surgeons. Within ten minutes of accessing all Aiden's injuries and the seriousness of his condition, they had him up to radiology.
"Doctor Colin's he's got some bleeding in the brain." The radiologist said to the doctor as he looked closely at Aiden's CT scan.
"Okay people let's get him out of there and into emergency surgery! We need to fix the bleeding in his brain before we loose him." Doctor Colin's said to the nurses around her as she rushed into the room. Within minutes they had Aiden up to the surgical floor and into an operating room.
Fifteen minutes later the ambulance raced up the emergency entrance area. The paramedics rushed Ethan into the emergency room where a trauma team was waiting, then pushed Nathan into the waiting area. Like Aiden the doctor immediately rushed Ethan to the radiology ward after they had checked him over and assessed all of his injuries.
"He's brain scans look normal, but his leg is in terrible shape if you want to save that leg he's going to need surgery ASAP." The radiologist said as he and Ethan's doctor looked at the scans.
"The OR is ready for him." A nurse opened the closed door and said to Ethan's doctor.
"Okay let's go." The doctor barked as the nurses slid up the side bed railing and began to push Ethan's bed out of the pediatric room and into the hallway
Lucas, Jake, Dakota finally arrived in the hospital parking lot about fifteen minutes later and immediately rushed into the front hospital doors.
"NATHAN!" Lucas yelled when he saw his brother sitting in the waiting room holding his head with his hands.
"Lucas?" Nathan, who had gone into a slight daze, asked a little confused then he looked up and saw his brother coming towards him.
"Have you heard anything?" Jake asked as he situated his squirming son in his arms.
Nathan told them that he didn't know anything yet, only that both boys were going threw surgery as they spoke.
About forty-five minutes later the Haley and Brooke rushed into the waiting room, tears running down their faces and their daughters in their arms. They immediately pulled their husbands into a hug, who also began to cry. Jake then saw Peyton come threw the door, he rushed over to her side and pulled her into a hug, she hugged him back then took Dakota from him and began to cry, so thankful that he hadn't been hurt, even though she was extremely worried about Aiden and Ethan. Then Jake hugged Jenny who was really clueless about what was going on and where they were.
"What happened?" Haley asked Nathan as she broke apart from their hug, and as he took Madisyn from Haley.
The women all sat down in chairs then the men explained to them what exactly happened. By the time they had finished, the girls were pissed off and not exactly in the best of moods and speaking terms with their husbands. Haley who was sitting across from Nathan kept looking up and giving him, Lucas, and Jake this look that none of them had ever seen before, and they didn't like it, while she gently ran her fingers threw Madisyn's hair as the toddler slept. Brooke, who was sitting next to Haley, was either crying, looking at Lucas and shaking her head, or gently rocking Kayna. Peyton on the other hand was the only one actually sitting by her husband, she was snuggled up against Jake and Dakota was asleep in their laps, while Jenny was curled up in the chair next to Jake, with her head in Jake's lap.
Both Haley and Brooke looked up at their husbands at the same time and saw the dazed and worrisome look in both their eyes. Both men's cheeks had a tent of red shinning threw and were wet from the silent tears that had been dripping down their faces and onto their pants. Both women immediately realized how much of a toll this whole situation was taking on their husbands and how much it was actually effecting them, knowing that their sons were somewhere in the hospital getting who knows that done to them and it could have all been prevented if they had just paid enough attention to them. Seeing all this happen in front of their eyes broke their hearts. Brooke looked at Lucas, who was in a total daze and hadn't moved and only blinked a couple of times in the past minute or two, just seeing him like this totally shot another emotion threw her mind and body. Seeing him like this devastated her, she walked over to the seat next to her husband and slowly sat down to see if Lucas would acknowledge her, but he didn't his eyes didn't even move from the spot that he had been staring at. Brooke's eyes began to tear up; she put her hand on Lucas' shoulder, but even this didn't make him look up or move his eyes from the ground.
"Luke please look at me please!"
