Chapter 1
They had fallen in love with each other in a few weeks, everything went so fast. They were living together after 6 months. And now after two years here she was, leaning against their Jacuzzi tub crying her eyes out. She knew he wanted kids but now she didn't know how to tell him that not only was she pregnant but that it wasn't his baby. She knew it and when she'd tell him, he'd know it too. It was no secret that they hadn't had sex in the past three months.
"Haley, honey.. Are you coming to bed?" She heard him call from the other side of the door. "Yes, I'll be right there" She answered as she stood up, looking at the test in her hand again before throwing it in the garbage. As she looked in the mirror she noticed her red puffy eyes and washed her face with cold water. "There, better.." She sighed quietly to herself before applying lotion on her face.
She went out of the bathroom into their master bedroom and slid in to her side of the bed. She felt Brian's arm wrap around her and let once again another tear fall before falling to sleep.
She woke up in their king sized bed alone like she always did except when Brian had a day off, which was very rare. She went in to the bathroom, went into the shower and let the warm water soak her body.
After her shower she wrapped herself in a light green silk robe from Victoria's Secret and started applying make up to her face. She went into her walk-in closet and decided on a black penskirt and a white blouse to tuck in and a pair of black high heels and went to work.
She walked into the building holding a mocha frappuccino in her hand, which she got at Starbucks right across the street. She decided to take the elevator since her heels were practically bleeding. When she got up to her floor she walked right past her office and headed towards his.
"Hi Sophie, is Mr Scott available?" She asked the receptionist. "Good morning Ms James, let me check" She answered while pressing a button. "Mr Scott, Ms James is here to see you. Is it a good time?" He answered after a few seconds. "Yes Ms Carlson, send her in".
She walked into his office and went right to his desk where he sat and placed herself in one of the two chairs in front of it.
"Well, this is different.. usually you hop on right here on my desk." He said with a smirk while patting on his desk.
She didn't say anything at first, just kept looking at him, he was still smirking and after a few seconds the words just fell out of her mouth. "I'm pregnant." His smirk fell and he just kept staring at her. "And it's yours.. but you got that" She said with a hint of sarcasm. He ran his hand through his hair and then over his face.
"Wow.. um, are you sure?" Still shocked by her confession. "Yes, or.. I'm late and I've been feeling sick pretty much every morning and last night I took a test and it was positive. I have a doctors appointment today at noon." She answered, looking out the window.
"I'll go with you" She turned her head towards him and managed a smile. "Thank you.. um, well, I better get to work. I have an article to finish. He nodded to her and when she got to the door he called out her name. "Haley" She turned around slowly. "It's gonna be ok." She nodded and then stepped outside his office leaning against the door before she continued to her own office.
She was sitting in her office, just finishing her article when Nathan stepped in. "Hi, um.. Are you ready to go?" He asked making sure no one heard and she forced a smile "Yea, I'm just finishing." She got up from her chair and slid on her coat, clinging it to her body, grabbed her purse and wrapped a scarf around her neck.
They were both sitting in the doctors office waiting for dr. Stevens to return with the results. "If you are pregnant.. I want you to know that I am here for you." He said looking at her. "How are you gonna be there for me when you ha.." She stopped her sentence as the doctor came in.
Dr Stevens sat down at the desk and smiled. "Well, I have the results right here." They both gave her a look, motioning for her to go on. "..And, it seems that you are indeed pregnant. Congratulations"
