Summary: Takes place sixteen years ago when Haley left for the tour. But returned 2 weeks later with news that would change the course of both hers and Nathan's lives…or so she thought.
Chapter1: The truth to be revealed
It was a cloudy, dreary night, a kind of night where all you could feels is depressed. That's exactly how Nathan Scott was feeling. Just two weeks ago his wife Haley left him for this tour that Chris Keller encouraged her to go on. All he's been doing since then is getting drunk, and skipping school. He didn't understand what possessed her to go with Chris Keller on this tour. She was a great musician. He knew that much but she was doing fine here. She is only 16 years old; she had no business being on that tour. She belonged with Nathan. In Tree Hill. The place she always knew and the place that had one of the most important things in her life… maybe the most important thing…Nathan. Well Nathan knew that. But he didn't know anything anymore.
It had been just two hours since she said good-bye to Michelle and Chris. Well those good-byes were in letters but they were still said. Haley was headed back to Tree Hill to Nathan, who she was sure was going to welcome her back in open arm. After hearing how Lucas said he was suffering she knew he would so happy with her return. The only thing that could stand in the way of this perfect reunion with her husband was the thing she had to tell him…which was he reason for returning to Tree Hill so soon. When Haley exited the bus in Tree Hill she was anxious to see Nathan. The look on his face. Wishing for forgiveness. She went over this in her head a million times. The joy and happiness she would bring back into his life. When Haley arrived at the apartment she lost the confidence and walked away. She went to the one place she knew she would feel safe and be supported. She went to her Lucas' house, where she knew she would be welcomed. When she arrived at his house she ran up the stairs to the door that lead to his bedroom, she taped on the door lightly. Lucas quickly opened the door and looked completely shocked at the sight of his best friend with a very scared look on her face.
"Haley. Oh my god. What are you doing here? Does Nathan know your home? Did you go see him?" Lucas bombarded her with all these questions.
By the look on her face he knew the answer to each of his questions that he just asked. Haley stood there silently.
"Haley, come on in. What's wrong? He asked concerned.
"I came home to see Nathan. But I got to the apartment and was too scared. More like terrified. After the way you described how he was doing I had second thoughts of if he would be happy to see me or not" she stated.
"Of course he would be happy to see you. He's doing terrible. He's been drunk and suspended. You're the one thing that he needs to see right now." Lucas said.
"Yeah. It's just that I need to tell him something. And I don't how he's going to react. I'm scared he'll be too angry and mad to forgive me and help me." she said quickly.
"What do you have to tell him? I'm sure he'll be fine with it. And he will forgive you. Trust me. Are you okay? Haley! What is it? Why did you come back anyway? Last week you sounded like that was the last thing on your mind. What happened? He asked worried.
"That was all before I found out." She said softly.
"Found out what?" he asked curiously. Worried about his brother.
"Um… I'm…I'm. she just couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Your what, Hales? You can tell me. It's okay. I'm here for you." he said very concerned.
"I know. Thanks. Okay I'll say it. I left the tour because I found out…I'm…pregnant. And scared. And I can't face Nathan. There's no way. Not after what I did." She said quickly, yet quietly.
"Wow, Hales. Are you sure? Absolutely positive? He asked
"Yeah I took a test back in New York. What am I supposed to do Luke?" she asked. Hoping for a supportive answer from him.
"Okay, first of all I'm going to go out and get you another pregnancy test just to be sure. Then I'm going to let you stay here and I'll take you to the doctor tomorrow then you can tell Nathan whatever the result is. Okay?" He quickly stated.
"Okay. Thanks Luke. Sounds like you know exactly what to do." she said
"Yeah. I'll be back in a few minutes. No one's home so don't worry okay?" he said and left the room.
Lucas return 20 minutes later with a brown paper bag in his hand and walked through his door to see it empty.
"Hales. Haley. I'm back" he screamed.
Then he saw he come out of the bathroom, slowly.
"You okay, Haley." He asked worried.
"Yeah just a little sick. Thanks. She grabbed the brown bag and went back into the bathroom and came out 5 minutes later. She showed Luke the test. It was positive…again. What am I gonna do? How am I gonna tell Nathan? You need to help me Luke.
"First, you need a good night sleep then we can deal with this first thing in the morning. Go to the doctor. I called them. You have an appointment at 10:00 am. And then we'll deal with Nathan. Just go to sleep, okay." He said and left the room giving his friend the space she needs.
It was 8:30am when Haley woke up. She looked over at the clock and got up. She decided to go and take a shower. When she was finished getting ready, it was 9:15am she had 45 minutes before she had to be at this doctor's appointment. She walked out of Luke's bedroom and walked into the kitchen where he was eating some toast and reading the sports page of the newspaper. Just like Nathan she thought.
"Hey. How you doing? Want some breakfast?" Lucas asked
"No. I'm good thanks. Just some water." she asked
They talked for a half hour when Luke realized the time and suggested the get going. When they arrived at the office, Haley felt so sick and was sure she was pregnant no matter what Lucas was saying. They were waiting there for 10 minutes and then the nurse said "Haley Scott". She got up and smiled slightly at they called her by her married name and then got back to reality. They took some tests and said they would call her in an hour with the results. Her and Lucas went down the street to a small diner until the doctor called her. They called and Haley was scared to death to answer it but knew she had to. She walked out the door to answer it. The doctor said: "Mrs. Scott we are calling with the results of your pregnancy test and you are indeed pregnant. You may call us when you tell your husband to make some appointments. Congratulations! And have a nice day." he stated happily. Lucas exited the diner just as Haley closed her phone.
"So what Happened?" He asked.
"I'm Pregnant." she said quietly.
