Lucas and the doctor walked into Nathan's room. Lucas was so nervous about what the doctor would say about Haley and the baby. Nathan looked up from his bed and saw Luke and the doctor.

"What is going on with my wife?" Nathan asked the doctor

"Well your wife is out of surgery, that about all I can give you now. We lost her twice on the table and she needed to be revived. We repaired the internal bleeding she was having. She suffered a severe trauma to her head. She had a small right bleed in the lower part of her brain, which we have repaired and stabilized her for time. She is still not breathing on her own; she had severe damage to her lungs. The next 24 hours is extremely critical.

"What about the baby?" Nathan asked trying to take in everything

"Surprisingly the babies are fine Mr. Scott, your wife protected them" the doctor explained. Nathan eyes grew extremely wide, Lucas mouth dropped he couldn't believe what he just heard.

"Excuse me did you just say babies?" Nathan said trying to see if he understood

"Yes Mr. Scott your wife is pregnant with twins…congratulations. I have to go and check on Haley in post op but you can see her soon. If you have any questions please have me paged, and I will update you on her condition later" Nathan nodded toward the doctor and he left the room. Nathan looked up at Lucas and let out a huge breath.

"She has to be ok Luke; I can't do this without her. She is everything to me, I need her." Nathan had tears streaming down his face he couldn't hold back the tears any longer. Everything that happened today and how he almost lost Haley was too much for him. He needed to let it out now before he saw her, she needed him now and so did their children that she was carrying. Nathan let it all out and he looked up at Lucas and he saw that something was not right with him…he knew that something else was going on but he couldn't put his finger exactly on it.

"Luke what's going on? There is something else wrong what is it?" Nathan asked looking him directly in the eyes.

"Nate you just worry about Haley now is not the time" Luke said turning away knowing now was definitely not the time to tell him about Dan.

"No Lucas tells me now…after everything we have been through today do not sugar coat anything with me. Just tell me" he said annoyed. He hated being treated with kid gloves he just needed to know what was going on. Lucas took a deep breath and turned around I guess it was now or never he thought to himself.

"Nate I have some bad news and I wanted to wait to tell you but I guess now is better. They found Dan Nate but he did make it. He died in the explosion. They found him under all the rubble and he was already gone. I am sorry" Nathan sat there in shock he couldn't believe that his father was dead…it couldn't be true.

"What Dad is dead, Luke this must be some sort of mistake…our father can't be dead. He was right behind us he threw you out of the way remember, you would be dead if it weren't for him." Nathan was trying to make sense of what Lucas just told him. He couldn't believe what he was being told how could this be?

"Are they sure?" Nathan was in shock he couldn't believe that his father was dead. He knew he was not a good person but he had been changing. Lucas sat down next to Nathan; Nathan could tell exactly what Lucas was thinking.

"Luke this is not your fault. Dan would have done anything to save any of us. No matter what had happened with us in the past we are still his kids and you do anything that you have to when their lives are in danger." Lucas wiped away the tears that he could no longer hold back. Dan was turning into a different person and they were finally starting to get close and he saved him but lost his life in the process. How was that for irony?

"I know Nate but if he didn't come for me he would be alive" Luke said torn apart

"And we would be burying you instead Luke. We have each other and we will help one another get through this. We are not like Keith and Dan and will be there for each other, I am going to need my brother with Haley and Dan. What do you say big brother?" Luke looked over to Nathan and grabbed his hand.

"I say I am here for you and we will get through this together little brother" Luke said getting up and hugging Nathan so tight as well as Nathan hugging his brother. What was happening Nathan thought….
