Haley was pacing the hallway. It had been a while since the doctors took Nathan and Keith was still in surgery. "Mrs. Scott," a voice said from behind her startling her. She turned around to face the doctor that had tended to Nathan. Lucas and Brooke joined Haley at each side. "We did some x-rays and a CAT scan and ran some tests on your husband. He has three broken ribs, a small fracture on his cheek bone, which is probably the cause of the eye swelling, and he has a pretty severe concussion and eight stitches to close the gash on his head. He was pretty banged up. The good news is the CAT scan didn't show any signs of damage or swelling." Haley sighed. "I'm not sure how he made it up here; with the police looking for him they had security on alert. The only thing I can think of is that they thought he was coming in for treatment and probably didn't recognize him they way he looked. Now due to the severity of his concussion and his other injuries it might be a while before he wakes up."

"How long," Haley asked concerned.

"I can't say. It could be a few hours, days, or longer and when he does wake he may be in and out a bit. He's been through a lot, real determined to get back to you and your boy I imagine if he just walked in like this. He'll wake up when he's ready. I'd like to monitor him until then and maybe after. I understand your situation and with your husbands injuries not being life threatening I've made arrangements for him to be monitored down here on the other end of the pediatric ward so he can share a room with your son."

"Oh thank you," Haley said hugging the doctor. She looked at Lucas.

"Go ahead," he said, "we'll come get you when they let us know Keith's out."

She nodded and followed the doctor down the hall. He showed her to the room then dismissed himself. Haley walked in slowly. Nathan was unconscious and looked swollen and tired. The blood had been cleaned and his wound bandaged.

Instinctively Haley took the seat next to him and took his hand, "hey baby," she said. "Open your eyes and tell me what happened," she said stroking his hair. "I needed you," she said standing up and climbing onto the bed she put his arm around her and her hand on his chest careful not to touch his ribs. She rested her head on his shoulder, "I'm glad your back but wake up I need you." She lay with him a while eventually falling asleep herself.

Haley felt someone shaking her she got excited and looked to see if Nathan was awake, he wasn't. She realized the shaking had come from her backside and rolled over too see Lucas. "Hey," he said, "Keith's in recovery. The doctor said you can go sit with him until he wakes up then they'll move him here. The nurse will take you and I will wait here."

Tim's portion of the surgery was shorter than Keith's and he had woken and was taken to his room. "I'm so proud of you," Brooke said to a groggy Tim.

"Thanks," he smiled, "so how is the little guy?"

"I don't know. When I left Lucas he was still in surgery," she said. "But something big did happen, Nathan came back."

"Really? What happened? Where was he," Tim asked.

"I don't know really. He wandered into the hospital all bruised and bloody and passed out before he could say anything so I don't know what happened; just that he's back and unconscious and banged up."

"Wow," he said. Then they sat there silent for a moment, "I'm tired I think I'm going to go back to sleep."

"Ok," Brooke said then kissed him, "I'll figure out what's going on."

She left the room and went to look for Haley and Lucas. When she got to the waiting room where she left Lucas no one was there. She remembered the doctor saying something about Nathan and Keith sharing a room. She went to the nurse's station and asked for the room. The nurse pointed her in the right direction. She approached the room and entered. Lucas was sitting next to an unconscious Nathan. He was reading the sports page aloud.

"You think he can hear you," she asked.

"Hey," Lucas said, "it can't hurt right? So how is Tim?"

"Good, he's sleeping. How's he," she asked nodding at Nathan.

"Still not awake," Lucas answered.

"So any idea where he was or what happened," Brooke asked.

"No and we probably won't know until he wakes up and that's if he can remember."

There was a knock on the door and a police officer entered, "good day."

"Officer," Lucas said, "can I help you?"

"I need to speak with him actually," the officer said.

"Well as you can see he's unconscious and the doctors aren't sure when he'll wake up," Lucas said annoyed that the officer didn't get this information from the nurse. "May I ask why you need to speak with him?" He had been the one to involve the police but he thought it a little harsh of the officer to barge in demanding to speak with Nathan knowing what their family was going through.

"Well as you know we were looking for him. Well this morning we received a call about suspicious activity at an abandoned warehouse on the docks. When we arrived we found one man trying to flee and another man unconscious inside. We believe it was a kidnapping gone wrong and would like to compare DNA from the site to your brothers and question him. We believe this could explain his whereabouts."

"Alright then speak with the nurse about the DNA; if it's a matter of consent I will have his wife contact you. As soon as he is awake we will let you know so you can speak with him," Lucas said.

"Thank you and sorry about the intrusion, as soon as he is awake call us," the officer said.

Brooke looked at Lucas after the officer left, "what the…"

"Bear maybe," he said shrugging, "I can't think of anyone else who would kidnap him but then again his is Nathan and Haley is Haley so who knows."

"So Keith's in recovery I assume," Brooke said changing the subject. "I mean that's where Haley is right?"

"Yeah," Lucas answered.

Just then Haley walked in followed by a nurse rolling Keith in. The nurse set Keith up on his side of the room while Haley checked in on Nathan, "how is he?"

"Still out," Lucas answered.

"How's Tim," Haley asked Brooke.

"He's good, tired, but good," Brooke answered.

"Tell him I'll be up to visit as soon as things calm down here."

"Don't worry about it," Brooke said, "besides tomorrow he'll probably make me wheel him down here."

They laughed and Haley went over and picked up Keith. "Hey buddy," Brooke said. "I should go. I'll check in later."

"Ok," Haley said as Keith put his head on her shoulder. Brooke waved to Lucas he waved back as she left.

"Should you be holding him," Lucas asked concerned.

"Yeah they said it was ok as long as I was careful and it didn't happen too often in the next few days," Haley answered. She sat next to Nathan while still holding Keith, "Lucas can you give us a moment?"

"Yeah sure. Hales I have something to tell you after," Lucas said.

"Well that sounds important," she said.

"No it can wait," he said.
