A/N: The doctor in this chapter is Dr. Carter from ER. He's my favorite.
The Basketball Game
"Nathan Scott passes the ball to Lucas Scott. Lucas catches it but a wizard steals it and shoots it. Jake jumps and tries to stop it but it goes in. The wizards now lead 50-40." Mouth said.
"Jake now has the ball. He passes to Tim who passes it to Nathan who passes it to Lucas who shoots and makes it. The game is tied 50-50. "Lucas is looking tired out there. That's unusual for him." Mouth said.
"Nathan has the ball. He dribbles it down the court. He's trapped between two wizards. He passes it to Jake who passes it to Lucas. Lucas catches it." Mouth said as Lucas collapsed holding his chest.
"Luke. You ok?" Nathan asked as he and Jake ran up to him followed by Whitey.
"My chest." Lucas replied as he winced in pain and then lost consciousness. Whitey motioned for the medics to come get him. Andy and Karen ran down the stands and over to Lucas.
"We're taking him to the hospital." One of the medics said as they carried him out. Nathan, Andy and Karen followed him.
At The Hospital
"My name is Dr. Carter. Lucas has had a heart attack. We're going to bring him up to the cardiac catheterization lab to see what we're dealing with. If we need to, we'll have to do an open heart surgery. It's a common surgery. Either way he'll need to stay for a couple of days." Carter said.
"Isn't he too young for a heart attack?" Andy asked.
"People can have heart attacks at any age. We did some tests on him to see why he had a heart attack. We're trying to see what caused it." Carter replied.
"His father had HCM." Karen said.
"If he has it, it will show up on his tests. Has your other son been tested?" Carter asked.
"No. We never thought to test either of them." Andy said.
"We can test him now if you want." Carter said. Both Karen and Andy nodded. Nathan went with a nurse.
"Can we see him?" Andy asked.
"Of Course." Carter said as they went into the room.
"He hasn't woken up yet." Carter said as a nurse handed him a paper.
"His tests are back. Lucas does have HCM." Carter said as Lucas started to wake up.
"Lucas, I'm Dr. Carter. You were brought in because you had a heart attack during a basket ball game. Do you remember that?" Carter asked.
"Sort of. My chest still hurts." Lucas replied.
"I know. We're going to take you up to the operating room because you're going to need surgery on your heart. You don't need to worry. It's a very common operation. After you'll need to stay for a few days." Carter explained.
"I'm not giving up basketball." Lucas said. Both Karen and Andy laughed.
"I take it you love the game." Carter said with a smile.
"It's his life. His brother lives for the game as well." Andy said as a nurse brought Nathan in.
"We'll see what happens. You will be out of the game for the rest of the season. You can still watch the game." Carter informed him. Lucas made a face.
"Lucas, it's not the end of your life. You can play next year." Nathan said as another doctor came in.
"We're going to take you up now." Carter said as they moved him from the room. Nathan, Andy and Karen went with him.
