Nathan was standing by Brooke's side squeezing her hand as he stared into her eyes. It was his job to keep Brooke calm and he was doing pretty good despite screaming inside. He had never been so nervous before in his life. The constant beeping and rushed talking between the doctors told him that something was wrong. What, he wasn't sure, but there was definitely something wrong. Not wanting to focus on the negative aspect of what was going Nathan shook his head. There was no way he could keep Brooke calm if he started to psych himself out.

"Brooke, how are you doing sweetie?" Dr. Scott asked a minute later.

"Ok," Brooke answered.

"How about you Nathan?"

"Good, looking forward to seeing my children," Nathan said as he smiled at Brooke.

Dr. Scott opened her mouth to answer Nathan but was cut off by the heart monitor beeping. She glanced up and snapped back into action. One of the twins' heart rates was dropping steadily and if they didn't hurry up all three lives could be in jeopardy.

Meanwhile in the Miami Airport Lucas, Haley, Karen and Jason had all arrived at the same time and were making arrangements to rent a car for a few days. Lucas was standing at the counter talking to the employee but was getting nowhere. Finally he screamed and asked Karen to talk to man before he put the guy's head through the wall. Karen nodded and made her way to the counter.

"Hales what if something's wrong?" Lucas asked softly staring at the floor.

"Luke come on. We have to be positive. Brooke and Nathan don't need anymore worries than I'm sure they've got going. Hang in there buddy. It'll be ok," Haley said as she sat in the chair next to him and wrapped an arm around his shoulders.

"Haley what's labor?" Jason asked sweetly.

"Uh bud, why don't you ask Mommy about that," Lucas interjected. He didn't think his best friend should be explaining this to his four year old brother.

"But why can't I ask Haley?"

"Jason. Please."

Jason stuck his tongue out at Lucas and ran over to Karen. She had just been handed the keys to their rental car and was signing the papers when Jason crashed into her legs.

"Jason what are you doing?" Karen laughed as she looked down at her little boy.

"Luke telled me to ask you what labor is," Jason answered.

"Oh boy."

Karen grabbed Jason's hand and they walked back over to Lucas and Haley.

"Come on, let's get to the hospital," Karen said as she flashed her son and his best friend a smile.

Lucas and Haley rose to their feet and Lucas took Haley's hand in his. She looked down at their hands and back up at Lucas before flashing him a smile. It felt good to have her best friend back. Karen had picked Jason up and carried him out to their car for the week—a candy apple red Ford Mustang Convertible.

"Nice," Lucas said as he let out a low whistle.

"You're not driving it Lucas. I want my son to live past his 5th birthday," Karen said when she saw the glint in Lucas' eye.

"Ooh, burn," Haley laughed as she shoved Lucas.

"Watch it Hales," Lucas shot back.

"Don't you threaten me Lucas."

They were about to take off running through the parking lot when Karen whistled at them. The two of them stopped dead in their tracks to look at her.

"Let's go. The longer you mess around the longer it's gonna take to get to the hospital. And I'm sure your brother will be glad to see you," Karen said as the climbed into the Mustang. Karen and Haley in the front and Jason and Lucas in the back.

"How come I got stuck in the back?" Lucas whined.

"Geez you whine more than Jace does," Haley said as she grinned at Lucas in the mirror.

Lucas didn't respond to that. Instead he crossed his arms and slouched against the seat.

"Almost there Brooke. A few more minutes. This little guy seems to be unwilling to greet the world," Dr. Scott said to Brooke.

"Dr. Scott, we're losing her," Dr. Coughlin said as Brooke's heart monitor made a strange sound.

Nathan's head jerked up in the Dr. Coughlin's direction. He wasn't completely sure but Nathan thought he heard the guy say they were losing his wife. That couldn't happen. Not now, not ever. His breathing was irratic as he tried to keep himself calm but he was failing miserably. He wanted to yell at the doctors and tell them they had to save Brooke and his sons but he didn't have the voice.

"Brooke, hang on, baby," he choked out.

Finally Brooke's heart rate returned to normal. Nathan let out a sigh of relief and leaned over to kiss Brooke's forehead. It had only been about two minutes but to Nathan it seemed like eternity. He was staring into Brooke's eyes just thinking when the sound of a baby's cry shook him. Turning his head he saw Dr. Scott handing Dr. Coughlin his first born son.

"Name?" Dr. Coughlin asked looking at Nathan and Brooke.

"James Eugene Scott," they said.

Dr. Coughlin nodded as he wrote the name down. A couple of nurses had already come in to take the baby for his bath and to be weighed and measured.

Another 20 minutes had gone by and Nathan Davis Scott was brought into the world. The nurse whisked him away quickly because, unlike his brother, he didn't come out crying. In fact, Nathan came out in complete silence and stillness. Dr. Scott saw the look on Nathan's face and tried to reassure him that the baby was going to be fine. But he didn't pay attention, he was focused on Brooke and his sons.

"What's going on? Why can't I see my babies?" Brooke cried when they had closed the incision on her stomach and cleaned up everything.

"Baby, it's ok. Nathan and Jamie are gonna be fine. They just need to get cleaned up," Nathan explained.

Dr. Scott looked at Nathan pointedly and he immediately looked at the floor. He knew what he had said wasn't entirely true. It wasn't that she didn't deserve to know, Nathan thought that the whole truth would be too much for her right now. Thankfully he was saved when a nurse walked back into the room carrying Jamie. She placed him in Brooke's arms and left the room.

"Hi, little guy, I'm your mommy," she whispered as she ran a hand over his small cheeks.

Nathan watched Brooke with Jamie and he felt tears prick the back of his eyes. This was really real. His life would never be the same again and that excited him so much.

"Hey, Jamie, I'm your daddy," he said as he crouched down next to the bed and stroked the top of his son's little head.

"He looks just like you," Brooke smiled at Nathan.

"Poor kid." Nathan laughed lightly.

"No. His daddy happens to be quite handsome. So that's a good thing."

Nathan smiled as he leaned in to kiss Brooke and then he placed a soft kiss on Jamie's head.

"Baby where is Nathan?" Brooke asked after a while.

"Uh, they had to take him to the NICU," Nathan replied while he stared at his shoes.

"What? Why? Nate what's wrong with my baby?"

"Brooke, he wasn't breathing when he came out. They took him down there for precautions. As soon as he starts breathing on his own they'll bring you down to see him," Dr. Scott explained.

"Oh my gosh. Is he going to live?"

"I have no doubts. He's in very good hands here."

Brooke bit her lip as she looked at her husband. She didn't like that she couldn't see both her boys already. Just as she was about to open her mouth to speak she felt a tear trickle down her cheek and a sob caught in her throat. Nathan saw the tears and sat next to her and held her hand. He made circles with his thumb over her hand hoping to soothe her.

"This isn't fair," Brooke kept saying.

"I know babe. I agree but just think about it. He's got Davis and Scott blood running through that little body, not too mention he's got both names. There's no way he'll give up without a fight. He's gonna make it through this. Just have a little faith," Nathan answered her.

"I know but I'm just scared Nate."

"Hey, I am too but we have to stay strong. For Nathan and Jamie. I said it once and I'll say it again. We are a team. And now, it's not just you and I. It's you and I and Jamie and Nathan. There's nothing that could break up this team."

Brooke nodded. She knew Nathan was right but it didn't scare her any less that her son was less than five minutes old and already being whisked away from her. It made her want to fall apart but she couldn't. Not if she was gonna stay strong for her sons and her husband.

Karen, Lucas and Haley burst into the doors of South Shore Hospital with Jason being pulled from behind Lucas. They were all in a rush to find out how Brooke was doing.

"Excuse me," Lucas said breathlessly, "I was wondering if you could tell me where Brooke Scott is?"

"Are you a relative?" the lady asked.

"Brother in law."

The lady nodded as she typed something into her computer. It took a minute to find Brooke in the system but she was there. Turning to Lucas she smiled before she spoke, "She's in the maternity ward on the third floor. Room 623."

"Thanks."

Lucas turned away from the desk toward Karen, Haley and Jason motioning for them to follow him to the elevator. He wanted to get to Brooke and Nathan as fast as possible. Knowing they were in the same building wasn't good enough for him. As soon as the elevator stopped on the third floor Lucas was ready to burst through the doors. Haley and Karen practically had to sprint just to keep up with him.

"Excuse me, can you tell me how Brooke Scott is doing?" Lucas asked when he got to the nurses' station.

"Family?" the woman asked.

"Yes, I'm her brother in law." Lucas knew that they had to ask but he was getting tired of it. It made waiting for the answer that much longer and patience wasn't something he could muster when it came to the well being of his family. No matter how hard he tried it never seemed to work.

"Ok well it says here that they are taking her back to her room. 623."

"Thank you."

And just as they had before, the three adults and Jason rushed off to see Brooke and Nathan. The gravity of the situation hadn't hit Lucas yet. But he knew it would once he saw Brooke and Nathan and his nephews. A minute later he was standing in front of the door to Brooke's room and suddenly he couldn't gather up the courage to knock on the door. Haley grinned at Lucas' nerves and shoved him out of the way to knock on the door herself.

Nathan was sitting in the chair next to Brooke's bed when they heard a knock on the door. He looked at her and smiled because he was pretty sure he knew who it was and he hadn't told her that anyone was coming Miami to see them.

"Hales, hey what are you doing?" Nathan said as he opened the door.

"Please, like you don't know," Haley replied as she rolled her eyes.

"Of course I know."

"Brooke!" Haley walked around Nathan and plopped down in his now vacant chair next to Brooke.

"Hales what are you doing here?" Brooke asked with a surprised expression.

"Your crazy brother in law called me and told me we had to get to Miami. Is everything ok with you?"

"Ya I'm fine."

"And the twins?"

"They'll be fine."

"What do you mean? What's wrong?"

Haley could feel panic setting in. It was like Lucas and Colin's birth all over again.

"Well Jamie is fine but Nathan wasn't breathing when he came out so they took him to NICU. I still haven't seen him but a nurse or someone is supposed to be stopping by later to tell us how he's doing."

Everybody talked for a little while until the nurse came in with an update and she was also carrying Jamie who had just been bathed.

"Oh gosh, Brooke, he's adorable," Haley and Karen both said.

Brooke just nodded as she held her son in her arms. Jason was sitting in the corner watching tv and Lucas was propped up against the wall near the door. He looked a little uncomfortable and no one could understand why.

"Luke what's up dude?" Nathan asked his brother.

"Nothing," Lucas answered quickly.

"Come meet your nephew," Brooke said.

Lucas stood up straight and walked over to the bed. His eyes lit up when he saw the little boy in Brooke's arms. He bared an uncanny resemblance to Nathan. And there was definitely a resemblance to Brooke as well.

"Uncle Lucas this is your nephew James Eugene Scott. But we're gonna call him Jamie."

"Can I?" Lucas asked reaching toward the baby.

"Of course."

Lucas carefully took Jamie into his arms and looked down at the boy with a smile. Brooke and Nathan watched as Lucas seemed to be completely enamored with his nephew. Almost as much as they were enamored with their son.

About an hour later the doctor came in and kicked everyone but Nathan out saying under the pretense that Brooke needed to get some rest and she couldn't do so with a room full of people. Lucas tried to protest but Brooke assured him that it would be ok and he could come back later on. Reluctantly Lucas nodded as he picked Jason up from the chair where he had fallen asleep and followed Haley and Karen out of the room. Instead of wandering around aimlessly they decided to get something to eat at a restaurant because none of them like hospital food.

Two weeks had gone by and Brooke had already been released from the hospital but Nathan was still there. Brooke and Nathan went in everyday to see him for a few hours. While they were there they would hold him, feed him and bathe him. It was becoming increasingly difficult for Brooke to leave her son in the hospital and she told Nathan. He understood but there wasn't anything either of them could do for the time being.

"Nathan it's not fair. We should be able to have both of our sons with us. We shouldn't have to go to the hospital to see Nathan. I don't like it," Brooke said as they were sitting on the bed in the hotel. She had Jamie in her arms and he was sound asleep.

"I know it's not fair. But they have to keep Nathan for a couple more days. Just to make sure he can get through the night on his own without any machines to help him with his breathing and everything. It'll be ok. No matter where he is, this family is still a team," Nathan answered as he leaned over to kiss her on the lips and then he bent down to kiss Jamie on his head.

Brooke nodded. She knew that everything would be fine in a couple days. It was the waiting that was killing her. Patience wasn't something Brooke possessed especially when it concerned her family. Luckily for her Nathan was being understanding so it was a little easier to deal with.

"Hey is Luke still around or did he have to leave?" Brooke asked a little while later.

"He left. But he did come say good-bye. You were sleeping but I didn't want to wake you up. He told me to have you call him when you got up," Nathan answered.

"Ok. What about Karen, Hales and Jason? Are they still here?"

"Ya they said they can stay for as long as you want them to."

"What about my dad? Did he say whether he's coming down here or not?"

"I don't think he's called you back yet."

"You did talk to him right?"

"Well I talked to Alexis but she promised to give him the message."

"Shit! Nate, I believe you but Alexis is a liar. She won't tell Daddy you called. Did you tell her why you were calling?"

"Of course I did."

Brooke nodded as she reached for her phone. She was gonna call her dad at his office. Alexis couldn't interfere there. At least Brooke hoped she couldn't.

"James Davis, how can I help you?" Brooke heard her dad's voice.

"Hey Daddy it's Brooke," she said.

"Hey baby."

"Did Alexis tell you Nathan called the other day?"

"No she didn't. When did Nathan call?"

"Tuesday I think."

"Oh, no. I'm sorry she didn't tell me. Is everything all right?"

"Ya, everything's fine. We were just wondering if you were coming to Miami to see the boys or if you wanted to wait until we go back to Jersey."

"I would love to come to Miami but unfortunately I'm swamped. I'll have to wait and go to Jersey to see them. And of course I wanna see you too."

"Daddy I need to ask you something."

"Ok, what is it?"

"Does Alexis hate me?"

"What? Brookie why would you think that?"

"I don't know. It just seems like she has it out for me or something."

"I don't think she feels that way but I can certainly talk to her if you want me to."

"Thanks Dad."

"You're welcome."

"Daddy I have to go. Nathan and I are going out for a little while."

"Ok, be careful. I love you."

"I love you too."

Brooke closed her phone and grinned at Nathan. He looked over and smiled at the expression on his wife's face. She looked like she was planning something in her head.

"What are you thinking about?" Nathan asked her.

"How bad I need you," Brooke answered truthfully.

Nathan smirked at her as he leaned in and their lips crashed into each other in a desperate kiss. They could feel the heat between their bodies. It was obvious what they wanted and they weren't stopping til they got what they wanted. Pure pleasure. After all they were still on their honeymoon, even if they were paying for it now. A honeymoon was a honeymoon and now was the time to go crazy.

"Nathan," Brooke whimpered.

"Shh," he said as he placed a finger over her lips.

They began shedding their clothes with reckless passion. As soon as they were both undressed they spent the rest of the night in bed.

"That was the best sex I've ever had," Brooke said.

"Absolutely," Nathan agreed.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

They closed their eyes and drifted into a peaceful sleep until Jamie decided he was hungry and wanted to be fed.

Sorry that took so long. First I had a hard time writing it and then the site wasn't cooperating! Hopefully it'll pick up again. You know what to do!
