Brooke entered the girls locker room and headed to her locker to retrieve her CD with the squads routine music on it, when she spotted Haley curled up in a ball on the floor crying and holding her abdomen. "Haley?" Brooke said as she rushed to her friend on the floor. "Haley what's wrong?" Brooke asked but received nothing but a painful wail from her friend. "Hold on Hales I'm going to get help."

Brooke stood up and pulled out her cell phone dialing 911 as she ran out to the gym to get Coach Whitey and the others.

"Coach!" Brooke yelled as she held the phone to her ear.

"Miss Davis what's wrong?" Coach Whitey asked as he rushed to the girl who was in tears. "It's Haley…"

At the sound of Haley's name Nathan and Lucas rushed to the girls locker room followed by Peyton, Jake, Skillz, Whitey and Brooke.

"Yes I need an ambulance here at Tree Hill High. My friend she's in a lot of pain, she's pregnant and she…" Brooke cried, she stopped talking when the operator asked her some questions.

"Haley!" Nathan yelled in fear as he threw himself besides his girlfriend on the floor, scooping up her head and placing it on his lap.

"Nathan?"

"Shh baby it's me. Everything is going to be okay." He told her as he moved her hair from her face.

"It hurts…" she cried.

"I know, let me see." He said pulling her hand from her stomach.

There was a collective gasp as everyone saw the wound on her stomach, blood flowing from it.

"Oh god!" Brooke gasped. "Please hurry." She yelled into the telephone before hanging up.

"Lucas get the first aid kit." Whitey hollered. He leaned down to get a better look at Haley's wound. "Miss. James, can you stand?" The old man asked.

Haley only shook her head.

"Nathan, carry her over to the table in the trainers office." He instructed.

Nathan scooped Haley up and carried her to the medical bed carefully lying her down just as Lucas was rushing around the room looking for the medical kit.

"Haley, I'm going to need you to remove your hands so I can see the wound. We need to stop the bleeding." He gently told the girl.

Haley nodded and moved her hands to the side letting Coach Whitey examine the area.

"Coming through!" The EMT's yelled as they tried to make their way through the students and into the trainers office, stretcher in hand.

"What do we have here?" One of the men asked Coach Whitey.

"She's about six months pregnant um…and I don't know what happened." Nathan said to the EMT.

"Does anyone know what happened here?" He asked looking around at the group of people assembled in the office. Everyone just shook their heads.

The other EMT was busy working on stopping the bleeding from Haley's wound.

"Miss can you tell us what happened?"

Haley's eyes closed slowly. "Tired." She whispered.

"She's lost too much blood we've got to get her to the hospital." The EMT told his partner as he finished taping a bandage to her stomach.
The two men picked up Haley and placed her on the stretcher. "We're taking her to St. Mathews." One of the men said as they headed out to their ambulance.

"I'm going with you." Nathan said following him out.

"Family only."

"It's my child." He told them.

The EMT only nodded as Nathan followed.

"We'll follow." Lucas called to his brother as he watched his best friend get carried off to the hospital.

Whitey looked to Lucas and nodded his head, "Go on." He said to the boy and his friends. "Be careful, I'll be there in a little while." He told them as he went to see the rest of his team and the cheerleaders who were still in the gym.

"I'm going to send the girls home too. You go with Luke. Jake and I will meet you at the hospital." Peyton told Brooke as they headed out of the trainers office and back into the gym. "Don't forget to call Karen." She called after her friend who was rushing out of the gym with her boyfriend.

Nathan paced the hospital waiting room nervously. It'd been two hours since Haley had been brought in and they had yet to tell him what was going on.

Lucas stood in a corner of the waiting room not moving, not saying anything. With his arms folded across his chest he stood silently staring off into space, his mind on his best friend.

Brooke and Peyton sat on two plastic chairs holding each other, each silently crying for their friend who was somewhere behind those emergency room doors.

Karen sat in one of the chairs her hands in front of her face, palm against palm as though she were praying. Keith stood over her silently watching, waiting for someone to crack and breakdown.

Jake, Skillz, Bevin, Mouth, Junk, Fergie, and Jimmy all sat around the room, each wearing an expression of extreme worry.

Whitey stood in a corner, hat in hands staring down at the floor as though in silent prayer.

"Who's here for Miss. James'?" A young Hispanic man in scrubs asked as he entered the waiting room holding a clipboard.

"We all are." Keith said as he moved closer to the doctor.

Nathan, Karen and Lucas joining him at his side. The others stood where they were but were paying close attention.

"Are you family?" the man asked.

"Her parents are out of state, she's been staying with me since June." Karen answered. "Doctor is she alright?"

The man nodded. "Miss. James' will be fine. From what we gathered she was attacked. A man entered the girls locker room and confronted her about her child. Things got ugly and he stabbed her, with the intentions of riding her of the child." He explained as he read the police report.

"What about…?" Nathan asked unable to finish the sentence.

He doctor sighed. "She lost the baby. We tried to…the knife pierced the baby in the chest and his lung collapsed. There was nothing we could do. He was already dead when she got to us."

Karen turned to Keith, who wrapped his arms around her shoulders as she dug her head into his chest. "Doctor will Haley be okay?" Keith asked.

"She'll be okay. We cleaned out the wound and patched her up, she'll be a little sore for a few days but she'll be fine."

"When can we see her?" Nathan asked, speaking for the first time since the doctor entered the waiting room.

"In a couple of minutes. We're moving her from emergency to a room on the second floor away from the nursery. We want her to stay over night for observation. We'll release her tomorrow afternoon after she meets with a grief specialist." The doctor looked down at the clipboard. "Now are Nathan and Lucas Scott here" the doctor asked as he looked around the waiting room.

"Yes that's us." The boys said.

"Okay well then you two can follow me. Miss. James requested to see you two first. The rest will have to wait till tomorrow when she's released from the hospital." He informed the others. "She needs her rest." He stated.

"Yes doctor we understand. Thank you." Keith said as he watched the boys follow the doctor to Haley's room.

Keith turned to the others in the room. "Well you all heard the man. Haley is going to be fine and she'll be home by tomorrow afternoon."

"You all are welcomed to stop by tomorrow night for dinner so you can all see Haley. Until then you can all go home, get some rest, Haley's going to need all of us these next few days." Karen told them.
