Summary: Haley wants a baby. She has one with Nate. It starts off before, but will jump forward 4 years when the baby is 3. It will explain itself as it goes on. I really suck at summaries!

Chapter One

I grew up with Nathan and Lucas Scott. They have been my best friends since I can remember. Anytime I was sad or mad or happy or ecstatic, they were there to be that with me.

When we got to high school it didn't change anything. Lucas had one girlfriend, Brooke, throughout high school who became my best girlfriends. Nate had thousands and thousands of girlfriends. I stopped counting them and trying to remember names when I realized they lasted a week at most.

We all went to college together, attending Duke University. Brooke graduated with a degree in fashion design, Lucas in business, Nathan in law and I majored in early childhood education.

We all stayed in the same town. In fact, Nathan and I decided to share an apartment in the building newlyweds Lucas and Brooke lived in. They married after we finished our senior year and have been married for 3 years now.

We are all 25 years old. I was just starting to realize all the things I had been missing out on in life. I always planned to be married when I was 23 years old, but that obviously didn't happen. I had boyfriends every once in a while, but they never seemed worthy of hanging on to.

"Mallory, sweetie, your mom is here," I said, leading the 5 year old to the door. "Have a good weekend sweetie!"

"Bye Miss Hawey!" she waved and scampered off.

I smiled. Mallory was the sweetest little girl in my class. She was always helping me pass things out or clean up. All the other children were screaming and making messes while she sat in her seat, calm and smiling.

She was the last one to leave, allowing me to leave as well. I picked up my jacket and purse and walked out of the room, locking the door behind me.

"Have a good weekend, Haley!"

I turned to see my colleague and friend Peyton Sawyer. She was the special education teacher. I smiled. "You're going to call me so we can hang out, right?"

She smiled. "Of course, you, Brooke and I should to go shopping or something!"

I nodded. "Sure, just give me a call, okay? See you later!"

"Bye, Haley!"

I made my way to my car. It was strange to no have little children running around me. I was so used to them that I missed them when they weren't around. I sighed and picked up my phone, dialing Nathan's number.

"Hey Hales, what's up?"

I smiled. "Hey, what are you making me for dinner?" I asked.

I heard him laugh. "What am I making you? What are you making me is the real question!"

I rolled my eyes. "Please, I couldn't cook if my life depended on it!"

"Fine, you're not cooking and I'm not cooking. What are we going to eat?"

I was silent for a moment. "Lucas and Brooke's?" we asked at the same time. I laughed and continued. "I just pulled in and I'll see you in a minute."

"Okay, see ya."

I stepped out of my car and walked inside the building. I took the elevator to the 4th floor and walked to my apartment, 439. Nathan was standing at the door with a grin, obviously waiting for me. "What is that grin for?"

"They are going to order chinese food," he said and I smiled.

"Awesome! Are we going to watch a movie as well?" I asked as we went back inside.

"I didn't ask, but I would assume so. It is Friday night after all," he replied.

I walked into my room and began changing, not paying any attention to the fact he was in the room. To be quiet honest I didn't mind. He had seen me naked before! We've been best friends since the womb.

"You have a good day? Sue any bad guys?" I joked.

"No, not today. It was pretty slow today. I only had meetings," he said, taking a spot on my bed. "How was your day? Did you have to take any kids to the nurse to heal a boo-boo?"

I laughed. "No, I didn't. I had one of the best days. I love having all those kids around! I have so much fun!" I exclaimed, fully dressed now. "Okay, let's go to their apartment now. I'm starving!"

"Okay, let's go," he replied and we left.

"Brookie, where are you?" I asked, stepping into the apartment.

"Kitchen!" she exclaimed. I heard some clattering going on and smiled. We interrupted them having sex.

We walked in and it was completely obvious. Her hair was all over the place. Lucas had lip gloss smeared all over his face. It was so funny! "Hey guys. Did we interrupt anything?" I asked with a huge grin.

Nathan couldn't stop his laughter as Brooke and Lucas blushed slightly. "You should've knocked," Lucas muttered and left the room, Nate following after him.

"Sorry, Brooke. We didn't mean to ruin anything," I apologized but she waved me off.

"No, it's okay. We'll just pick up where we left off when you guys go home," she said and I laughed. "How are you, Tutorgirl?"

I smiled at the nickname. "I'm good. Work was fantastic, as usual. How about you? Did you design your bestest best friend any new clothes?" I sat down on a stool.

"I designed some new lingerie if you want to try them out!" she replied with a squeal. "You and Nate could put them to good use."

I rolled my eyes. "Will you stop with the whole me and Nathan thing? We aren't dating, we're never going to date so get over it!" I exclaimed.

"You lost your virginity to him, Hales! That goes further than friendship if you asked me!"

I sighed. "We were 15! I wanted my first time to be with someone I loved and I don't know why Nate lost it to me, but we just did, okay? Why did I ever tell you that? I've regretted it ever since!"

She laughed. "You two keep dancing around each other. It's time you do something about your relationship with him. You obviously love one another-"

"As friends!"

"-but neither one of you will do anything about it! Seriously, Haley, you've got to do something!"

I walked over and put my hands on her shoulders. "Brooke, I love you, but you are trying too hard to get two people together who are just friends! That's all Nate and I are ever going to be. Now, leave our past in the past cause we're only best friends now, okay?" I asked and she nodded. "Good, now let's go eat chinese food! I'm starving!" She laughed and we walked out to sit with the boys.
