You're All I Have
Chapter One
Sun sets on a beautiful day
17:30
She grabbed her ringing cell phone from where it lay on the couch; looking hastily at the caller ID she smiled when she saw the name.
"Hey I'll be there in a minute…I know I'm already ten minutes late, there's just so much traffic everywhere…k I'll cya soon,"
She tossed her cell into her bag as she made her way through her messy house, grabbing her keys she checked her image in the mirror by the front door one last time before she ran out of the front door and climbed into her car.
Susan Robinson was a woman of many talents, one of the youngest lawyers at her firm; she was a hard working, high achieving, feisty young woman who wasn't afraid to reach for what she wanted.
Since moving to California from her family's humble abode in Austin Texas, she was the one in her family that strived for more, wanting to be better than the rest and she had definitely achieved that much.
Pulling out of her driveway of her spacious Sacramento home she rounded the corner and sped quickly along the long winding road, she always loved to drive, the feel of the wind blowing against her face, the feeling of being free, the feeling that she could escape. She smiled to her self, life was good.
She pulled onto the long winding road, she was just above the speed limit but she needed to get there on time, Matt was always going on at her for showing up late and usually she proved him wrong and came early but today when she was finally meeting his parents, she decided to go out with the girls the night before and had unfortunately slept in till four o clock when she had been rudely awoken from her sleep by her shrilling cell phone.
Now an hour later with a healthy glow thanks to her foundation and a stylish pair of Gucci sunglasses she was ready the face the world, and maybe even Matt's parents.
The shrill of her phone once again brought her out of her revere and she quickly looked down at the bag in the seat beside her to find her it vibrating from the phone.
Keeping her eyes on the road she took one hand of the leather steering wheel and awkwardly started to try and unzip her bag in vain hopes of trying to get to the shrilling phone, after many moments she finally gave in to the bag and turned her attention back onto the road, but the constant shrilling kept her at her nerves ends till frustration gave out and she started trying to unzip her bag once more, the zip of the bag gave in to her as she quickly unzipped the bag and dug around for her phone, holding the tiny object triumphantly she flipped in over to answer.
"Hello?" Her voice was met with the endless dial tone.
She groaned in annoyance all her efforts for nothing, throwing her phone back onto the seat she went back to driving but soon enough the shrilling of her cell phone echoed through the car.
Groaning she reached for the phone once more.
"Susan Robinson," She bit out. "Sorry Frank…what the Smithson case? Yeah that's on your desk…who-"
She shrieked as she unknowingly sped over a speed bump, her phone toppled out of her hand.
"Damn," She muttered as she reached out a hand to try and search for it, her boss although a kind and gracious man was not someone Susan would particularly like to keep hanging on the phone.
She hand found nothing but carpet, sighing she diverted her attention away from the road and bent to try and find the phone,
"Where the hell is it?" She kept muttering.
A loud beep suddenly echoed through her ears.
Her head darted up quickly at the sound, she found herself on the run down bridge, which was part of her usual route from home, on the wrong side of the road and a black SUV was coming straight at her.
Her survival instincts took over as her hastily grabbed the steering wheel forcing her wheels to screech loudly as she tried to steer the Cadillac to the other side of the road. Just missing the SUV she swerved and quickly skidded to a halt.
She tried to calm her breathing, thinking of what she had just narrowly avoided, she looked back onto the road and she watched in horror as the black SUV veered off the bridge and almost like the sound of a wave crashing down she heard the SUV toppled into the river below.
"Oh my god!"
Shock struck her for a moment, making her unable to move, suddenly her senses came back to her, tearing her hands away from the death grip she had on the wheel, she jumped of the car and ran across to the verge of the bridge which had crumbled on impact with the SUV.
"Oh my god," Susan stared down into the river where air bubbles surfaced and the ripples from the sudden impact echoed through the water. There was no sight of the car.
All around the scene people halted in their own cars curious and horror struck at the scene before them.
Her feet seemed to take on a life of their own as they sprinted back to the car; she quickly rummaged around the floor of the front seat, the silver object which had been the cause of all this disaster her hands easily found.
Flipping it open she dialled those three important numbers.
"There's been an accident…"
9:30
"Jaydyn Luke Scott!" Haley's voiced echoed through the house,
She moved from room to room waddling along trying to find her long lost son, finally reaching the last of the five bedroom house and still seeing no sign of her four year old son, her eyebrows furrowed in worry and she placed a hand on the small of her back from the aching back pain.
"Jay!" She called out once more but a reply never came, the only sounds were the bubbly voices from the TV.
Waddling down the stairs as fast as she could, she quickly made her way through to the kitchen, tears spilled down her face, her heart hammered in her chest, she couldn't lose her son.
"Jay!" She cried out through sobs, her hormones getting the best of her normally calm self.
Haley quickly grabbed her phone of the island and quickly made her out to the living room.
She flipped her phone and dialling the number from heart she stood there as her sobs got louder waiting for him to pick up.
Laughter echoed through the doorway.
Startled by the voices Haley rushed to the front door, phone still clasped by her ear.
"Hello?" His voice echoed into her ear
"Nathan?" She cried into the phone.
"Honey why are you on the phone to me, I'm right here,"
Haley looked up from the phone to find her husband and her best friend standing at the front door.
Nathan's phone was pressed to his ear, his face a portrayal of confusion and amusement which turned to concern when he saw her tear streaked face.
"Mommy!"
Haley heart constricted at the voice, she looked down to Nathan's side to find her little son looking at her with worry.
"Baby!" Haley rushed to the boy holding him as tight as she could considering her large protruding tummy.
Jaydyn stroked him mom's hair as fresh sobs escaped her.
"Haley? Sweetie what's going on?" Nathan asked sweetly
At the sound of his voice Haley let go of her son, coming face to face with her husband, her sobs were quickly replaced with anger, which emanated off her.
Nathan hastily took a step back.
"You! I cannot believe you! I've been worried sick that some rapist had come and taken my son away, and all this time you had taken him with you?? And you couldn't even leave a note? You couldn't call to let me know?"
"Rapist?"
"Don't talk to me or I swear Nathan Scott you won't know what hit you!"
"Hal-"
"Don't you start with me!"
Haley slowly bent down and awkwardly picked up her son.
"The doctor said you weren't allowed to pick up Jaydyn!" Lucas exclaimed
"I can do whatever the hell I want to, that's what everyone else does in this house and if you want breakfast from here Lucas Scott you better stop telling me what to do!"
Haley waddled back to the kitchen, Jaydyn's confused face bobbed up and down over Haley's shoulder, Lucas and Nathan shrugged both just as mystified by the situation as the young boy.
"Man, she has you whipped!" Lucas exclaimed when Haley's figure could be seen no more.
"Oh yeah cause you were standing up to her!"
"I ain't married to her! I'm just her best friend…on the days I claim her that is"
"Just think only two more weeks and she'll be back to Haley Scott the sweet and lovely woman I was married to."
"Man you know she would kick your ass if she ever heard that!"
"Yeah tell me about it, and the scary part is the fact she could actually kick my ass!"
Lucas laughed.
"Headline news Nathan Scott Shooting Guard of the LA Lakers has been squashed to death by his eight and half month pregnant wife,"
They both laughed as Lucas made their way to the kitchen and Nathan went for his shower.
"I can't believe he would do that! I mean how am I supposed to know that he's taking Jay with you guys? Luke you could have left a note!"
"Haley I don't even live here!"
"So!"
Lucas sighed it was pointless trying to fight back with Haley and a pregnant Haley at that!
Twenty minutes had gone by when a showered Nathan dressed impeccably in a black Armani suit appeared at the doorway.
Silently he motioned to Luke.
"She still crazy?" He mouthed; Lucas meanwhile just shook his head before he started playing with his little nephew.
"Come here my little baby! Mommy loves you so much, now come let's make you some pancakes," Haley exclaimed seeing her husband staring at her from the doorway, but before she could pick up her son Lucas scooped up the little boy.
"Hales, how many times! You're not allowed to pick Jay up!" Lucas warned
Haley heaved a great sigh, "Luke-"
"No don't Luke me! Now Jayman and I here are going to the living room, you guys have issues!"
Little Jaydyn giggled in Lucas' arms as he plopped the little boy on his shoulder before they walked out.
Haley unable to divert her attention elsewhere turned back to stirring the thick mixture.
A pair of strong muscular arms wrapped around her shoulders and soft kisses peppered her neck.
"Nathan…" Haley moaned traces of anger still evident.
"Baby, I'm sorry he woke up early and wanted to come with me,"
"Then why couldn't you just leave me a note then, anything Nathan?"
"I just forgot, I'm sorry, I know why you'd be upset,"
Haley sighed, giving into his charming ways.
"Just remember next time okay?"
"Okay baby, now how's my other little baby doing?" Nathan crouched down in front of his wife and placed his head gently on her protruding stomach.
"Hey boo," Nathan cooed as he lightly kissed her belly circling his arms around as much as he could around her waist.
"Nathan we have to stop calling the baby boo!" Haley smiled.
"What's wrong with boo? Our own son picked out the special name,"
"After watching Monsters Inc!"
"So! It's a cool name," Nathan turned his attention back to Haley's tummy, "don't listen to you mommy you're my baby boo!"
Placing another kiss Nathan straightened up and brought his hand to gently cup Haley's face,
"I love you," He whispered softly,
"I love you too baby,"
Nathan brought his lips to his wife's massaging her soft luscious lips against his own, after a moment or so Nathan traced the shape of her lips with his tongue, asking for entrance, Haley replied opening her mouth caressing his tongue with her own, at long last they pulled away silly smiles playing across they're faces as they gasped for air.
"I have to go; Joe called about some last minute interview with some magazine and then I got practise till six"
"Wait, but what about Brooke? She's coming in from New York today"
"Well Luke could take you and Jay,"
"Luke? Try mentioning the idea to him; see how physco he'll go!"
Nathan laughed, "Hey even if he doesn't want to see the girl he screwed over and hasn't seen in four years, you! Haley James Scott can make him go, just use some of those pregnant PMS powers of yours,"
"Hmm…maybe I will," Haley said with a smirk.
"That's my girl," Nathan kissed her on the cheek before he headed out of the kitchen, "I'll see you tonight Hales,"
"Wait! Don't you want to eat?"
"I'll pick something up! I'm already late,"
Haley waddled out of the kitchen, a smirk playing on her face.
"Oh Lucas!"
17:00
"I can't believe you've actually managed to drag me to the airport to pick up Brooke!"
"Oh come on Luke it's been four years!"
"Four years too soon! If you don't remember the last time, when I cheated on her with Peyton and she slapped me across the face and told me to go to hell before she ran away to New York,"
"Well you did kind of deserve it,"
Lucas shot her a glare,
"And I thought I was the PMSing pregnant woman!" Haley chuckled.
Lucas turned his attention back to scan the arrivals gate, Haley quickly turned back in her to check on Jaydyn who was curled up asleep in the pushchair.
"Why is she coming anyway?"
"You know why she's here, she's wanted to come down in time for the birth, she was never there for Jaydyn's,"
"So let me get this straight, she skipped out on the nine months of holding your hair while you threw up, getting used to your disgusting cravings and you crazy, crazy mood swings and gets to go straight to the baby bit?"
"Excuse me?"
"I meant she missed the lovely nine months you had with that amazing pregnancy glow, the scans, and the wonderful shopping and only gets the baby bit?"
"Thank you, best nine months of my life," Haley said with a fake smile.
"Tutormom!" a shrill voice shrieked from in front of them,
Lucas and Haley both turned to take in the site of Brooke Davis in all her glamour hurling herself towards them, clad in a black mini skirt with a maroon blouse and black pumps, she practically squealed as she ran up to Haley and wrapped her slender arms around her.
"Oh my god you're like the size of a whale!" Brooke shrieked as she finally released Haley from her death grip.
"Excuse me?"
Lucas snorted nearby.
Brooke jerked her head towards the direction of the familiar noise, noticing Lucas for the first time.
"What the hell do you think your doing here?!" Lucas' eyes mirrored her look of horror; she turned back to Haley pointing an accusatory finger. "You brought HIM here!"
Haley quickly stepped back in shock.
"I…uh…well…Brooke honey,"
"I cannot believe you just called her honey! She called you a whale for God's sake!" Lucas interrupted, "When I call you that, you always kick my ass!"
"I did not call her a whale! I can't believe your calling her a whale!"
"You called her a whale first!"
"Well at least pregnant women don't kick my ass!"
"Oh god, come baby lets go get something to drink for mamma, maybe a shot of whisky, I mean coffee," Haley muttered as she slowly pushed Jaydyn, who had woken up from the noise and was staring curiously at his uncle and the funny woman, towards the mini Starbucks.
"Mommy you gone pee pee!" Jaydyn exclaimed loudly.
Brooke and Lucas turned to face Haley at the peculiar revelation, her back was to the couple as she ordered from the counter, Jaydyn pointed and laughed at the wet puddle by his mother's feet.
"What the…?" Brooke muttered dumbstruck at the sight, Lucas stood there his jaw wide open.
"Oh my god!" They both said in unison.
"Haley! Your water just broke!" Lucas screamed as he and Brooke raced towards her.
People all around them gazed in horror at Haley.
"Ya think?!" Haley muttered sarcastically,
"What're you doing here then?!" Brooke practically yelled.
"Just thought I'd get a chocolate chip cookie while I'm here, plus its fine the contractions haven't started yet,"
"Haley come on we're going,"
Brooke grabbed her arm forcefully dragging her away from the counter and towards the exit. Lucas quickly wheeled the pushchair ahead of them with Jaydyn joyfully cheering on the antics from his seat.
"Oh no, please just one cookie, come on Brooke this is totally mean! I'm the pregnant woman! Leave me alone! Lucas wait till I get my hands on you, how dare you take me away from my cookie!"
17:20
"I want my damn cookie!" Haley screamed in the middle of her contractions.
Lucas patted her gently on her back with one hand, while he held Jaydyn in the other.
Haley turned to face him and gave him an evil glare.
"Mommy's not happy is she?" Lucas whispered to his nephew.
"Can we have a doctor here!? My friend's water just broke!" Brooke yelled as they waddled through the double doors of the hospital entrance.
Two nurses rushed to their side placing her in a wheelchair, they quickly took her away in the direction of the maternity ward.
Brooke and Lucas with Jaydyn in his arms followed close by.
Moments later Haley lay on the bed surrounded by four other mothers to be, all panting and breathing hard.
"That was quick, you're ten centimetres dilated." The nurse informed with a bright smile.
"Whoa what happened to Braxton Hicks and all that crap?!" Haley asked in alarm
"You telling me she's having the baby now?!" Brooke squealed.
"She's meant to be due in two weeks!" Lucas exclaimed
"Well it looks like you'll baby will be coming in no time! Let me just go find the doctor quickly!"
"Argh!" Haley screamed as another painful contraction hit her.
"Hello my name's Doc-"
"Get this baby out of me!" Haley screamed as another wave of pain hir.
"Okay we'll just be taking you into the delivery room now,"
"Push Haley, just one more time,"
"I don't wanna push!" Haley screeched out, her hair clung to her head in sweat and she sat there panting, trying to breathe
"Come on breathe in and breathe out!" Brooke stuttered wincing in pain at the death grip her hand was being subjected to.
"Don't tell me how to breathe!"
"Can I tell you to stop breaking my hand?" Brooke muttered under her breath
"Where's Luke gone?!"
"He's phoning Nathan and he's looking after Jay,"
"I want my husband!" Haley cried
"One more push now Haley!" The doctor calmed said.
Haley heaved, and pushed as hard she could, clamping tightly to Brooke's hand.
A wail echoed through the delivery room.
"Congratulations Haley, It's a girl," The doctor proclaimed.
Tears of joy sprung to her eyes as she gazed at the tiny baby, Brooke pulled her in hugging her from the side, tears spring from her eyes also.
18:30
Haley lay dozing on the bed, Lucas and Brooke, with Jaydyn asleep on her lap, sat either side watching silently, while baby boo lay in the little cot nearby.
"Why hasn't Nathan come yet?" Brooke whispered breaking the blissful silence.
Lucas stared at her a moment, wondering if she really was having a civilised conversation with him or if it was just the figment of his imagination.
"Lucas!"
"I dunno, I called him when she was in labour, he said he was on his way, but it's been ages and Nate wouldn't miss out on this," He finally muttered.
"Have you tried calling him again?"
"I call him a about ten minutes ago but he ain't picking up, it's saying the cell is turned off,"
"He must be out of service or something,"
"Yeah maybe,"
Silence resumed the room.
Brooke smoothed down sleeping Jaydyn's head a small smile on her face.
"He's such an angel," She whispered
"Yeah I know, baby boo's an angel too," Lucas whispered back with a smile.
They both sat there staring into each others eyes, not wanting to pass away the special moment.
"Mr. Scott?"
Lucas and Brooke jerked their heads towards the door.
Two tall, well built men stood there dressed in cop's uniforms.
"I'm Detective DeCruz and this is Detective Williams, may we speak to you outside Sir?"
Lucas stood there momentarily in shock, but then giving Brooke a look of utter confusion he stepped outside with the Detectives.
Brooke's heart thumped in her chest and her mind buzzed wondering of all the possible explanations.
After a few minutes Lucas entered back into, his face was pale.
Brooke opened her mouth to question him but he cut her short.
"There's been an accident…"
