Okay… so I had this on my mind for like two weeks and I just came around to write it. I've been extremely disappointed with the amount of Naley pregnancy stuff we've been getting on the show and this came to my mind and I just wanted to write a one-shot that was kind of just cute. I want to give a special thanks to all my girlies at the Joy thread on the CW boards! Without you girlies I wouldn't have thought of this! You guys rock! So here it goes… my first one-shot… it's not that amazing but I'm proud of it.
Couldn't Be Happier
I looked at the teacher writing on the board and couldn't help but gaze off. How can I sit in a class and be able to concentrate when I have so many questions?
I was well into my pregnancy and I was scared. Yes, me, Haley James, was scared. How were Nathan and I going to get through college with a baby? Would I be a good mother? Will this baby be healthy?
The looks I would get when I walked in the hallways weren't reassuring either. Just a little over a year ago I was all about waiting until marriage to give up my virginity. I didn't know that I would get married so young. But I got lucky and fell in love. That, I guess, was why I got those looks in the hallways. I was pregnant. It was something no one would expect of me to do. I couldn't help but worry.
The day my baby bump was truly visible I remember the looks I got at school; not only the students but my teachers too. That day I went home and cried my eyes out. I didn't want to be pregnant. I was too young, we were too young. Nathan came home and saw me crying and he just held me in his arms and told me everything was going to be fine and that he would always be there for me. Only he could make me feel better after a horrible day.
Of course I had the support of my friends. My best friend Lucas who was now really excited about being an uncle; always checking up on me. My Brooke who was already making designer clothes for my unborn son. She always would make me laugh and I loved her for it. Peyton and I of course went our separate ways for a while but she became really supportive when she heard I was pregnant. I remember the day she came into the apartment with her iPod and earphones and put it on my tummy. "Now this is the music he should be listening to," when she said that I started to laugh.
It is also very helpful that Karen is pregnant. She was like my second mother. And now we talk to each other about raising our kids. We just sit there and talk. We like to see if the other is okay. "You feeling okay, kiddo?" She'd ask me. And I would reply, "Fine, and you?" Of course to anyone it would seem that we're just two friends talking about how we are but of course we know we're really asking about our pregnancies.
How Nathan puts up with me I have no idea. Especially with my mood swings that I started to have a few months ago. He once got me the wrong kind of ice-cream and I started to freak out. By now he's used to it and just tries to calm me down.
I looked back to our teacher and tried to concentrate. It was then that I felt something. I put my hand on the side of my tummy and smiled. My baby had just kicked.
Nathan, who was sitting next to me, looked at my gesture and smiled. I looked to him, my hand still on my belly, and smiled. We were going to have a son. A baby boy that we will love very much; and we couldn't be happier.
A/N:D so that was it… pretty short I know but that's what I've got! Like I said, we don't get anything that has to do really with the pregnancy so yeah. I hope you guys enjoyed it and hopefully you will leave me a comment with your thoughts!
