Chapter 9
3 Days Later
"Hey Sawyer. The kids are swimming again. It's just you, me and a sleeping Jamie."
"I miss them. He went to the bank Nathan he just went to the bank and he never came back. I never thought a trip to the bank could change your life but it did mine. I lost my husband and my son."
Nathan reached out and held her. He knew her mind was back to that day.
Flashback
"Good job Ellie you did so well your daddy will be proud." Peyton praised her two year old daughter for making a basket in the hoop.
"Daddyy and Dilly?"
"Yes baby girl I think your twin brother will be proud too. He, Daddy and Lily will be home really soon then we're going to eat at Grandmas."
"Murry Cristmas"
"Yes Merry Christmas." Peyton smiled Ellie.
Ellie was her miracle when the twins were born Dylan Nathan Scott had been perfect but they quickly discovered that the umbilical cord was wrapped around the other babies throat, that baby was Ellie. The doctors had said she would never walk or talk but now at two years old she was almost a normal two year old and had far exceeded the doctor's expectations. Something both Lucas and Peyton we're thankful for everyday.
Just then there was a knock at the door. Peyton rose to answer unsure who would be coming by at the moment.
"Hello officer can I help you."
"Are you Mrs. Lucas Scott?"
"Yes Sir I am. What happened?"
"Mrs. Scott I'm Detective Morris there was a robbery at Bank of Tree Hill."
"OH NO. Dylan, Lucas. My son, husband, are they ok?"
"Mrs. Scott I'm sorry but they were both injured and have been taken to One Tree Hill Hospital. I am sorry that's all I know if you come with me I will take you to them."
"Please. Yes please. I just let me get my daughter."
"Of course."
Peyton was numb a robbery what happened. She scooped up her daughter and in 15 minutes she was at the hospital. Karen and Andy were already there. Andy immediately took Ellie from her arms and walked away with her.
"Karen what is going on?"
"Peyton. While Lucas was in the bank with Dylan and Lily there was a robbery. The robber had a gun."
"No oh please no."
"Peyton. Dylan's been shot."
"No your wrong. Your wrong." Karen held strongly to her daughter in-laws shoulders.
"Peyton he's in surgery. They don't think he's going to make it."
"No no where's my baby? I need to see my baby."
"Peyton."
"NOOOOoooooooo he's only two. He's only two. I need to see him I need to hold him to let him know that everything is going to be ok. He needs his mother." Peyton said as she fell on the floor in tears.
"Peyton." Karen said holding onto her once more. "Peyton you can't."
"Lucas I need Lucas where my husband. I need my family."
"Peyton, Lucas was injured too. You can see him as soon as he wakes up."
"No. My family oh please no. Lucas I need you." it was all she said before she passed out.
A little while later she woke up with a start and in a hospital bed. Karen was by her side in an instant and Brooke on the other.
"Hey how are you?" Brooke asked her.
"Please tell me it was a bad dream. Please Brooke."
"Peyton, I 'm sorry."
"Brooke . How are they?"
"I'm sorry Peyton. I'm so sorry but Dylan he didn't make it he was too young. His little body just couldn't survive a gunshot wound."
End of Flashback.
"I miss them Nathan. I miss them both. My baby he was so young. He was too young to die. He needed his mother and I wasn't there to hold him. I wasn't there to tell him I love and that everything was going to be ok." Peyton hung her head.
"He took his last breaths alone. Oh my baby, I miss my little boy and miss my husband I need them. Nathan I need them."
Peyton broke down she had never dealt with loosing Dylan. She was always busy taking care of Ellie and dealing with Lucas. Nathan just held her praying that everything was going to be ok.
He held Peyton until she fell asleep from crying then he carried her to her bed. He got his iphone and made a few swift clicks then he checked on Jamie wrote a note and left. He had someone to see and it was time he talked some sense into him anyway he could.
