Haley stopped at Kelly's to spend some time with Natey and to update everybody about Nathan's condition.

Nathan was still in intensive care and the visitation rights were limited She and Lucas were the only one's getting in the room.

Haley updated them on the situation and took Natey for a walk. She wanted and needed to spend some quality time with her son.

"So Honey…" Said Haley sitting down on a bench in the park near Kelly's house. "How are you? Do you like spending with Auntie Kelly, Auntie Karen, Uncle Keith, and Lily?"

Natey looked up straight into Haley's eyes. "Is daddy going to be okay?" He asked in a small sad voice. "I heard on TV that someone hurt him."

"Well…yeah honey." Haley told him softly running her hands into his hair.

"Why did he hurt daddy?" Asked Natey his eyes full of innocence.

Haley hugged him tight. How could she respond to that question when she didn't even know the answer herself?

"I…I don't know sweetie. You know sometimes people do things that we can't explain. They…" She sighed. "They are just bad people."

Natey's eyes were full of incomprehension but he didn't ask more. "Can I go see him at the hospital?"

Nathan was in intensive care and Haley knew that children were not allowed there, even if they were allowed Haley wouldn't let Natey come close to his room. Seeing Nathan attached to all these machines would scare him to death. Hell she was an adult and she was scared to death seeing him like that!

"I…No honey you can't see daddy yet." Said Haley nicely. "You know the hospital has it's owns rule and well Daddy's not well yet, but he will be soon. "Added Haley kneeling down to look into her son's eyes.

"He is?" Asked Natey his tiny voice full of hope.

"Of course!" Said Haley trying to sound sincere. They all needed hope right now and even if she swore to never lie to her son; right now denial was the best she could offer.

Natey pouted. "I want to see him." He said sadly.

"I know you do." Said Haley taking his hand and walking around the park. How unfair! She thought with anger and pain mixed together. He just got to know his dad and now someone tries to take his dad from him again!

Haley sighed with despair.

Natey squeezed Haley's hand. "It's going to be okay mama…you said daddy's going to be fine and I know it's true. Be happy mama". He said nicely.

Haley's eyes filled up with tears. What a brave child! She thought. She stopped and kneeled again. "I'm so blessed to have you as a son. I love you." Said Haley her voice broken with emotion but using all her inner strength not to cry.

"I love you too mama," said Natey hugging her tight.

Lucas was right, spending some time with Natey was a necessity. He was the only one easing the pain she felt inside.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucas looked at the clock on the room. It was already 7 pm and Haley wasn't back yet. He was starting to get worried.

"Sorry…I'm late," said Haley breathlessly walking into the room.

"Nah don't worry." Said Lucas smiling and hugging her tight. "How's Natey doing?" He asked with concern.

"What can I say Luke? He's so brave!" She said walking to Nathan and gently rubbing his hand. "He's just like his dad you know." She added looking at Nathan with a sad smile. "Each time I was next to him I believe that everything was going to be okay." She added bending down kissing his lips.

"Are you going to be all right Hales?" Asked Lucas worried. "I mean…I don't mind staying a bit with you." He added smiling at her.

"No…" She said shaking her head vigorously. "I…I need to talk to my husband." She added sitting down.

"Okay…Well…I'm just going to go to the cafeteria for a while but I'll be back okay?" Said Lucas stubbornly. "Do you want anything? Coffee? "

"No coffee, but I wouldn't mind a hot chocolate." Added Haley keeping her eyes on Nathan.

It was like a part of her had the irrational belief that keeping her eyes on him would help him to wake up in some way.

"You're pathetic," she said in a whisper.

Lucas left the room in order to give them some intimacy.

Haley sighed and ran her hands through her hair. Things were changing too fast, her world… the one she was trying to reconstruct was falling apart and she had no way to stop it. She felt so powerless and she needed Nathan to tell her that everything would be okay but he was there asleep and apparently in no hurry to be back in the world.

"Hey baby, we miss you here." Said Haley her voice broken by emotion. "I know I'm repeating myself but I…I just can't live without you Nathan!" Added Haley choking back sobs. "You think I did for the last five years but I didn't. I barely survived but I knew you were living your dream and it helped me to go through the day." She took his hand. "But I won't face the future knowing you're not with me. I need you Nathan…Natey needs you and…and our baby needs you too." Added Haley putting his hands on her belly. "You missed out on Natey's birth but we've got a second chance to set things right. I just need you to come back to us." She added sobbing now.

She looked at the monitor and then back at him. She just wanted his eyelids to move but nothing happened.

Haley sat again and buried her face in her hands to cry.

"I don't want to raise your kids without you. You're an extraordinary man Nathan Scott. I…I forgot that for a while but I will never leave you again. You and me it's always and forever. You just need to fight a little harder. Come back to me. Everything will be fine." Added Haley in a pleading tone.

Lucas just got out of the elevator with Haley's hot chocolate. He didn't like the idea of her staying every night there, trying to sleep in a terrible uncomfortable hospital chair.

He sighed; she was way too stubborn to listen to him.

"Hello Son..." Said Dan behind him.

Lucas froze and turned around. "Dan Scott..." Said Lucas not believing his father was standing in front of him.

"Well...What are you up too?" Asked Dan nonchalantly.

"I'm praying to repair everything you've broken." Said Lucas with defiance in his eyes.

"Everything?" Asked Dan cockily. "Well maybe you should start with your mother's heart." He added with a smile.

"I..." Lucas sighed. "I don't have time to deal with you right now... My family needs me."

"How's Nathan doing?" Asked Dan.

Lucas looked at Dan and smiled. "Watch the news like everyone else." Added Lucas happy to torture Dan a little.
