"Alright let's see your incisions," the doctor said entering Tim's room. Brooke stepped back out of the doctor's way while he examined Tim. "Well everything looks good. How would you like to go home today? As long as you promise to take it easy of course."

"Of course he will," Brooke said jumping back to Tim's side. The doctor gave Brooke a sour look.

"I will," Tim said reassuringly to the doctor.

"Alright I'll fill out the proper paperwork and send the nurse in. Be ready," he said leaving the room.

Brooke squealed and grabbed a bag from the closet. "Here put some real clothes on."

Tim dressed and sat back on the bed. A few minutes later there was a knock on the door. "Come in," Tim said.

"Hey there," the nurse said entering the room, "are you ready to leave?"

"Yes mama I am," said Tim.

The nurse pulled the door all the way open and then wheeled in a wheelchair.

"I don't need that," said Tim.

"Ah, hospital policy," said the nurse, "all patients being discharged must be walked out of the hospital."

"Alright then let's go," said Tim getting up and sitting in the chair. The nurse pushed Tim out of the hospital. There was a car waiting and Brooke walked up to it and Tim stood, "thank you," he said and the nurse went back into the hospital. "What are you doing? This isn't our car," he said.

"I know but you want to go back in there right? It got rid of her didn't it," Brooke replied.

"Yeah I guess so," Tim laughed and they headed back into the hospital.

Lucas woke up with his head on Rachel's shoulder. He was still on her couch. "Crap," he said as he jumped up waking Rachel.

"What," she asked rubbing her eyes, "oh."

"Sorry," he said. "I got to get back to the hospital." He left with out another word.

When he got to the hospital he walked into the room to find Haley awake holding an awake Keith. She was talking to Brooke and Tim. Haley noticed Lucas enter the room, "where have you been?"

"Sorry I fell asleep watching a movie with Rachel," he answered. Brooke rolled her eyes and Haley just smirked. "I'm sorry I should have been here," he said.

"No it's fine. I'm a big girl," Haley said.

"I know but you had a rough day yesterday," Lucas said.

"I just needed some sleep and alone time. I'm fine now," Haley said.

"Good. How's he," Lucas said reaching for Keith. "Happy Birthday buddy."

"We're actually going to go," Brooke said.

"Yeah I have to relax, take it easy," Tim said, "but I wanted to visit first before leaving."

"Take it easy then," Lucas said.

"Thanks guys," Haley said and Brooke and Tim left.

After lunch Peyton, Mouth, Skills, Fergie, and Junk showed up. "Oh wow, hey guys," Haley said.

"Yo Hay, Goldie Locks told us it was little guys b-day. Hope you don't mind we came to show love," Skills said.

Haley laughed, "I guess I don't mind."

Peyton walked over to Lucas who was sitting in a chair, he had just put Keith in his crib and everyone had crowded around him and was talking to Haley. "She seems to be in good spirits today," Peyton said to him. "I was a little surprised yesterday with that Becca girl showing up. That really threw her for a loop huh?"

Just then there was a knock at the door and Becca came in. She gave a little wave to Lucas which he returned politely.

"Oh my," Skills said stepping toward her, "God sent me an angel."

"Actually she's Nathan's angel," Haley mumbled under her breath.

"What's that," Mouth asked her.

"Oh nothing," she answered fussing over Keith again but keeping a close watch on Becca.

"I'm Skills baby, 'cuz I got all the right moves both on and off the court," he said sticking out his hand for her to shake.

"That's nice," she said in a snobby tone walking right past him to Nathan's bedside. She sat down and took his hand.

Peyton glanced at Haley, who judging by her body language, was no longer happy, "there goes her good mood," she said to Lucas.

Mouth could feel the tension in the room as well. He came over and joined Peyton and Lucas, "is this the girl friend," he asked Peyton making sure to pause a while between girl and friend.

"Yeah," Peyton answered.

"Maybe we should go," Mouth said signaling to the guys.

"Alright but I'm going to stay," Peyton said. "I think Haley could use the support."

Mouth rounded up the guys," I know we just got here but we didn't want to stay long," Mouth explained to Haley, "we just wanted to wish him a happy birthday." The guys all nodded in agreement with Mouth and hugged Haley goodbye.

"So who was that blonde," Skills asked as they stepped into the elevator.

"Peyton told me about her last night," Mouth answered. "Supposedly she's Nathan's best friend. Haley didn't know about her though."

"That explains why Haley's attitude changed when she got there," Junk said.

"Yeah," Fergie agreed as the elevator reached the ground floor.

"That's rough," Skills said as they left.

Peyton had joined Haley who was fidgeting with Keith but staring fixedly at Becca with Nathan. She tried to get Haley's attention but when she failed she too looked at Nathan and Becca. She seemed a little too comfortable with him sitting there holding his hand and leaning in close to talk to him.

It was so quiet in the room everyone could hear her talking, "so whenever you're ready Nathan, just wake up ok. Today would be good though it's your son's birthday give him that present."

"Ugh," Haley sighed and squinted her eyes in frustration.

Nathan's eyes fluttered. "Nathan you heard me? Nathan wake up," Becca said. His eyes opened. "Oh God," she said and hugged him. He hugged her back and mumbled something.

Haley stormed out of the room sobbing and Peyton followed her.

"Hales," Nathan said after he heard the sobbing. He pushed Becca away and rubbed his eyes then looked at her obviously confused, "Becca?" He looked around for Haley. He was squinting his eyes still adjusting to the light. "Dammit."

Lucas had gotten up and pushed the call button. The nurse came in and saw Nathan awake, "everyone out the doctor is coming to check him out."

"I'm so glad you're awake," Becca said.

"Thanks," Nathan said, "maybe you should go. I'll call you in a couple days."

"She knew he meant it so she just nodded and left.

Nathan looked at Lucas, "I thought she was Haley I even called her Haley. Then I heard her sobbing but it wasn't her. This is bad isn't it?" Lucas just nodded in response. "Get her back in here, convince her," Nathan pleaded sounding desperate as the doctor came in. Lucas nodded and then left the room.
