Nathan let go of Lucas and got himself together. There are things that needed to be taken care of and he needed to pull it together. There was a knock on the door and Brooke, Peyton and Jake all came in.

"Hey buddy how are you doing?" Jake asked patting him on the shoulder.

"I am dong ok all of this waiting is out of control though" he said agitated.

"How is Haley?" Brooke asked biting at the bit. She needed to know how her best friend was.

"Well she made it out of surgery, but she is still unconscious but they repaired all the internal bleeding she had. She is still hooked up to the ventilator to help her breathe. The doctor will let us know when we can go and see her she is just getting out of surgery now" he explained to everyone. Brooke and Peyton breathed a sigh of relief that she at least made it out of surgery ok.

"How is the baby?" Jake asked

"Well the babies are fine. It looks as though we are having twins. Can you believe it! Just when I think I have heard it all." Nathan said trying to get all his thoughts in order.

"Wow Nate twins" Brooke squealed. She couldn't believe that Nathan and Haley were going to be parents, and no less have twins. She was so jealous; the thought of it had her thinking for like a half a second and then she snapped back to reality. She was only 17 no babies for her.

"Wow twins I can't imagine, Jenny is enough for me" he laughed. Peyton nodded her head in agreement, Jenny was a handful. They all sat around Nathans bed just wanting to be told that they could go in and see Haley. Brooke was so scared for her; Haley had become a sister to her. They lived together all year and she was so happy that she and Nathan had finally started to mend their marriage. Haley had made mistakes over the last year but she deserved Nathan and now her kids, she had to be ok. She thought back to the first week that they were living together.

Haley was still unpacking her things, after she realized that her split from Nathan was very real, she opened the closet to put her clothes away and it was completely filled with all of my clothes.

"Brooke you cant be serious" Haley yelled through the apartment. Brooke was asleep on the couch and jumped up when she heard Haley yelling through the apartment. "I have no where to put my clothes, you have taken up the entire closet."

"Haley, you waited this long to unpack so I took upon myself to occupy the space, now that you have finally decided you can't expect me to just undo all the work I have already done" Brooke said skipping away. Next thing you knew Brooke heard a huge crash, she turned around and flew back into the bedroom Haley was on the floor and the entire closet full on clothes was on top of her. Brooke couldn't contain herself she burst out laughing.

"What happened?" she said falling to the floor because she was hysterical laughing.

"What happened was I moved a hanger to get a box and the entire closet came toppling down on to me." Haley said annoyed but laughing she threw a pillow at Brookes head.

"OH No you didn't" Brooke took a pillow and threw it back at Haley. They erupted into a huge pillow fight and were laughing so hard. At the end of the night both there clothes were everywhere and they were lying on the couches with pints of Ben and Jerry's ice cream.

"Earth to Brooke" Lucas was calling her name, which brought Brooke out of her thoughts. "You ok over there?" Peyton asked.

"Yah I was just thinking that's all. I am also exhausted" Brooke stated. It had been 24 hours since everything had happened and nobody had gotten any sleep. Rachel, Skills, Bevin, and Mouth were all still at the police station talking to the detectives. They were all dreading doing that, and poor Haley god knows what she went through.

"You guys don't have to stay; you should do home and get some sleep. Everyone has had a long 24 hours and god knows when we will be able to see her"

"Nate we don't want to leave you alone" Peyton said

"Yah and I want to see Haley" Brooke said

"Guys I will be fine and as soon as the doctor comes and tells me its ok for us to see her I will call you …I promise." he said making the scouts honor hand signal.

"Ok but call us as soon as you hear anything or need us ok we will be back in a few hours" Peyton said and walked out with Jake. Brooke walked over and gave Nathan a kiss on the cheek. She turned to walk out with Lucas but he gave her a hug.

"I am going to stay with Nathan I don't want him to be alone, and we have arrangements we need to make with Deb for Dan." Brooke nodded

"Its ok Luke, stay with your brother Ill be back in a little while, call me if Haley wakes up. Ill brings you some coffee and food when I come back ok. I love you!" Brooke said giving him a kiss and walking out the door.

"You didn't have to stay Luke, I know it's been a long day and you're probably exhausted." Nathan said feeling bad that his brother was stuck staying there with him.

"You and Hales are my family now Nate there is nowhere else I want to be. You shouldn't be here by yourself. We need to figure out what your mom wants to do for Dan also. I know that it is hard to think about right now but it is something that we need to figure out." Lucas explained knowing that this was a hard topic for Nathan especially right now while Haley was still a mess.

"I know I am assuming I will be discharged tomorrow or the next day, depending on what is going on with Haley we should make arrangements as soon as possible. We should have Uncle Keith call grandma and grandpa. We need to let them know about everything that has happened. Also, we are going to need to hold a press conference and address the whole situation because he is the mayor." Nathan was trying to think clearly, there was so much that needed to done. Lucas nodded writing all of this stuff down. Nathan yawned.

"Ok there is not much we can do tonight so we should try and get some sleep while we wait, it is 2:20am and I am beat." Nathan knew he needed to sleep, so while he waited he should get some sleep he couldn't even think anymore. He tossed Lucas a pillow as he lay down in the empty bed next to him. Within seconds both of them were asleep.

Peyton, Brooke, and Jake all walked into Brooke and Haley's apartment. Everything was left exactly how it was this morning that morning when they ran out of the apartment late. She couldn't get over the day they all just head…it was unreal. Jake crashed on the couch, and Brooke and Peyton went into the bedroom and dropped down on the beds. Peyton laughed.

"What is funny P. Sawyer?" Brooke asked smirking at the way that Peyton laughed. She picked up this stuffed animal in her hand. She held it up for Brooke to see.

"Haley still sleeps with a teddy bear?" Peyton asked chuckling. Brooke started laughing also. She always laughed at Haley sometimes with her little habits.

"It's actually a really funny story. Nathan gave that to Haley one night when he was going away for a basketball game. It was when they were just married; the weather had been really bad for a couple of days. It was thunder storming and Haley is scared to death of thunderstorms. So Nathan bought her that bear to hug onto when she got scared and he wasn't here. She has slept with it every night that they have been apart. She says it was her way of staying close with him. The first time I saw her sleeping with it thought I thought she was crazy." Brooke laughed to herself. Peyton smiled to herself.

"That is typical Haley for you" they both fell silent getting caught up in their own thoughts about everything. Peyton just kept thinking what would make Jimmy Edwards do such a thing. As bad as high school can be, and as mean as people can be it cannot be that bad. He destroyed a whole school and killed one person and nearly hundreds of kids. Peyton slowly drifted off to sleep wanting to get a couple of hours of sleep, the next couple of days were going to be long days…she looked over to ask Brooke something but she was already sleeping.

Jake layed on the couch thanking god that Peyton and everyone was safe. He thanked god that his little girl was safe at home with his parents. Days like today make you realize how grateful you should be for all of the good things in your life. Part of him didn't think that they would make it out of that school. Jimmy was on a one way mission and it was not a good mission. He remembered Jimmy from grade school and he was a good kid. He was always quiet and to himself, but never destructive. Never a killer, and now Nathan and Lucas had to bury their father because of all of his destructive behavior. Poor Haley and Nathan, Haley is fighting for her life and Nathan in hanging on by a thread not to totally lose it. He finds out he is going to be a father, which is the best gift any man can ask for, and he can lose it all. Haley had to be ok, if she wasn't she didn't know what Nathan would do. He wouldn't survive losing Haley, she was the best part of him and if she didn't make it he wouldn't. Jake drifted off to sleep…

Everyone was sleeping in the apartment it was around 7:30 am when the phone in the apartment went off. All three of them ran out into the kitchen. Brooke couldn't find the phone at first and started freaking out, she finally found it.

"Hello" she said into the phone

"Brooke its Karen you guys need to come up to the hospital now" she yelled into the phone.
