"Nathan, I didn't sleep with Chris…I promise" Haley said as they sat on the benches at the Rivercourt.

"Haley, I thought I trusted you and I want to believe you didn't, but I don't know…I saw what I saw"

"Nate its not like I was naked…and he was fully clothed with SHOES on…why would he do that if we had slept together? Nathan I love you…I couldn't ever be with anyone other than you…it wouldn't even come close to how it feels when I'm with you"

"Haley I love you and I believe you…I just…I'm scared. Scared that we're not gonna work out. Scared that we're gonna end up divorced"

"Nathan why would we end up divorced? Are you planning to divorce me because I'm definitely not gonna divorce you" Haley said softly, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"No, I'm just afraid that THINGS will get in the way"

"What things?"

"All of them! The fact that you left with Chris, my father, our young age. There are a lot of things getting in the way Haley, and I'm not saying we're not strong enough to overcome them, but they're going to weaken us and that's the last thing I want"

"Nathan" Haley sighed. "Whenever I think about all those things that are gonna be obstacles, the one thing that stays in my mind is the day we got married. The way you looked. The way you spoke. The way we said 'I love you' and promised ourselves, forever, to each other. And that's a promise I refuse to break"

"Ok…so…let's talk"

"Let's talk"

Meanwhile…

Brooke sat impatiently with Lucas in the waiting lounge of the hospital, tapping her foot.

"Is she gonna be ok? Is the baby gonna be ok?" Brooke asked the doctor as he came out.

"The baby will be fine…Rachel, not so much" the doctor said honestly. "We're going to keep her on a respirator until she gives birth, but maybe she'll wake up before that. I understand you are her friends, but we need a family member, like a mother or a father, to make some decisions"

"Ok…um…well her parents aren't exactly here, but I'll try to get in contact…doctor, what's wrong with her?"

"She took a lot of strong sleeping pills…and she put herself in a severe coma. Her brain isn't giving anything but faint signals. She can't breathe by herself and right now she's on a respirator because the baby needs oxygen"

"Is there a chance for her to survive?" Brooke asked with her voice breaking. She couldn't believe she was so worried about RACHEL, who destroyed her and Lucas's relationship, made her miserable for a good 3 months, and who was such a slut she slept with a 40 year old man and was now pregnant.

"Do you want me to be straight with you, Miss Davis?" the doctor asked solemnly.

"Yes"

"It's all up to God. There's a minimal chance she's gonna wake up. Right now, we want to save the developing fetus. She's ready to give birth at the earliest at the end of May. She's 6 and a half months pregnant almost to date…we can sustain her long enough to save the baby"

"Oh god" Brooke said. "I'm gonna call Nathan and Haley"

"Ok…can I see her?" Lucas asked.

"Of course"

At the Rivercourt…

"Oh my gosh" Haley said. "We'll be right there"

"What?" Nathan asked Haley.

"Rachel ate a bunch of pills and she's in a coma now and they're keeping her alive until she can have the baby and then…they don't know…we have to go right away"

"Definitely" Nathan said, getting up and following Haley to his car.

Haley and Nathan rushed to the hospital as fast as they could. They burst through the lounge door to find Brooke standing there, looking helpless and worried.

"Brooke, sweetie…what's going on?"

"Rachel's basically…dead. She's on a respirator. They're keeping her alive until the baby is born"

"Brooke…"

"They don't think she's gonna wake up" Brooke said, a tear slipping down her cheek. "Why am I so worried for her?"

"I'm worried too" Haley said, hugging Brooke. "Can we see her?"

"Miss Davis first, please" the nurse instructed.

"Rachel…" Brooke said when she walked in. The girl who once had a smirk on her face 24/7 look calm and peaceful as her eyes fluttered up and down as her chest rose and fell with the help of the respirator. Brooke's heart jumped every time she thought she saw Rachel's eyes open a tiny bit. "Rachel…what did you do?"

"Brooke, babe, you ok?" Lucas asked as he came in.

"Why, Lucas? Why did she wanna kill herself?" Brooke asked, her voice wavering.

"Brooke, I can't honestly answer that"

"What are we going to do?"

"I don't know, Brooke, I don't know"
