Before Lucas could actually look at Brooke and answer her question, the doctor came in to give them the news on Ethan and how he was doing.

"He got threw the surgery fine. He's got a painful recovery ahead of him, but he's going to be fine. But we're going to keep him in the PICU for a couple of days just to see that everything goes okay."

Relief rushed over everyone. One down and one more to go, then they'll finally be able to relax.

"Thank god…"Nathan whispered, "Can we please see him?"

"Sure follow me, but only two of you can see him at a time and only one parent can spend the night with him."

Nathan and Haley got up out of their chairs and Haley handed a still sleeping Madisyn to Peyton, and then followed her husband and the doctor through the entrance to the main part of the hospital.

Brooke looked up at Lucas, who was staring at the now closed hospital door.

"Luke?" He looked up at his as she wrapped her arm around his. "He's going to be just fine." She said in a soothing voice.

Lucas looked up and softly smiled, even though she could see the disbelief in his eyes.

Nathan walked cautiously into the room that his son was in, terrified of what might be in front of him and what he was going to see.

"He's going to be out of it for a couple more hours, but feel free to stay and just watch him sleep for as long as you want. Kids this young usually recover and wake up faster when there's someone that they know around them." Nathan heard the doctor say to Haley and himself, even though he wasn't actually in the room quite yet.

"I'll leave you two alone just page the nurse if you need anything and they'll page me." He said as he shook Haley's hand.

"Thank you so much for everything doctor." Haley replied to the doctor.

"You're welcome Mrs. Scott. You've got a strong little boy on your hands. A real fighter." he replied then walked down the hall probably to see his next patient.

Haley turned around and realized that Nathan hadn't actually walked into the room yet.

"Nathan?" she asked as she walked out of the room.

Nathan looked up at his wife with tears slowly running down his face. Haley then realized how difficult this must be for her husband, since it was partly his fault that Aiden and Ethan were in this situation to begin with.

"Come on your son needs his Daddy." Haley whispered in a very calming manner, as she took Nathan's hand into her own and guided Nathan into the room.

Seeing Ethan wasn't really as hard as Nathan had thought. His son did have cuts, bruises, and scratches all over him, but he was still Ethan, no matter how many machines he was hooked up to and other equipment that was attached to him. Nathan was expecting to see a little boy that looked nothing like his son to be in front of him, and he was so thrilled to see that that wasn't the case at all.

Brooke, Lucas, Peyton, and Jake were still waiting to hear any news on Aiden. Karen had came up to the hospital and had taken all the other kids over to her house, so that the grownups would have one less thing to worry about, which they were all very grateful for.

Lucas had known from the beginning that Aiden's condition was worse than his cousins, but he couldn't help but wonder what in the world was taking the doctors so long. Brooke could tell that Lucas was getting a little anxious, but she totally understood where he was coming from, because she was feeling the exact same way herself.

"I'm going to go and get something to drink. Do either one of you want something?" Jake asked Brooke and Lucas as he got up out of his chair.

"No, I'm fine thanks." Brooke replied.

"Same here." Lucas added.

"Okay I'll be back in a minute."

"I'm coming with you. I need to walk around." Peyton said as she slowly got her pregnant body out of the chair.

This left both Brooke and Lucas alone in the waiting room.

"Okay that's it where in the world is that stupid doctor?" Brooke demanded. Her patience had just ran out and she wanted answers and she wanted them right this instance.

Lucas looked up at his wife who was now on her feet.

"Brooke calm down they'll be in here as soon as possible." Lucas replied pulling her arm down towards the seat.

"Fine!" Brooke snapped getting even more upset.

With this whole situation going on either Brooke or Lucas noticed the man with a white lab coat on standing in the now opened door looking straight at them.
