So, everyone, hello. Short note before you begin: some of you might remember a story of mine from maybe a year or two ago called Experincing It Together. And how this is the sequel I had this posted but I took it down and basically revamped it. It's basically similar but has had quite a few changes. And I hope you all enjoy this story, there is no actual need to go back and read the first one, just keep in mind the impossible is possible. Takes place not too long before graduation.
Nathan Scott numbly shut the door behind him and slid down the door to sit his mind too busy racing to walk at the same time.
He looked at her carefully, "Are you sure?"
She bit her lip, nodding.
"But, Haley..."
"Don't worry I won't get pregant."
Now look at me, Nathan thought his eyes daring for a second to go to his stomach. How was this possible? How was he going to tell Haley?
How was he going to do this?
As if on cue the phone began to ring and Nathan's eyes darted to it sitting there on the other side of the room. He panicked and he got up to walk to quickly back to his bedroom. From there he could hear the answer machince begin to pick up.
"Hey you've reached Nathan..."
"And sometimes Haley."
"Yeah...so, leave a message and I...or we will get back to you."
Beep.
"Hey, boyfriend, oh no I'm starting to sound like Brooke. Anyways, I couldn't find you anywhere, but um, Jake went into labor during History...I thought you might want to come with me to help Peyton then go wait at the hospital. I figure you're probably hearing this...so I'll be there in twenty minutes, okay? I love you. See you soon."
What am I gonna tell her? I can't...I won't...
Maybe it was the shock, actually it was the shock, it is not often a guy like Nathan can be told he's pregnant and he doesn't try to do something stupid, but at the moment he felt it was his only option. He dug inside his closet and found one his basketball bags and a piece of luggage he had used in moving into the apartment. He dumped as much of his stuff he could manage into the bags and hurriedly unstashed the money he made from work and had never put into the bank for fear of Dan. Throwing his stuff into the truck he had traded Keith for, he pulledout of the apartment complex before Haley could arrive.
Now what?
He hit the highway and just pointed the car northwest to see where he landed, just wanting to disappear.
Sorry, Hales...my Haley...I love you. You should always know that.
The thoughts of that day seven months ago kept replaying in Nathan's mind as new wave of pain surged through his body.
"You're doing just fine Nathan...that epidural should be kicking in any time now."
The numbness kicked in and shortly he felt a relief from his abdomen.
"We have a baby girl number one, Mr. Scott."
A small wail filled the room but was cut off by the sound of the wail of a second baby girl.
"Okay, Nathan, one more to go...here we are...it's a baby boy."
Nathan rested his head against the pillow. Seven months ago he had made his escape. He couldn't imagine how Haley or anyone else would take it, especially after the hard time he gave Jake, so he had high tailed it off to where he could do it on his own. He had found a doctor nearby the college he had been accepted to that dealt with these special crcumstances. he'd also negotiated with the college to let him stay delay his scholarship for a year. The coach had surprisingly understood, and Nathan had been grateful for his luck. Unfortunately the coach had been friends with Nathan's grandfather, so world had let slip. Royal had surprised Nathan by not letting down his grandson the way he felt he had made mistakes with his sons. He had a job, he a college scholarship, a grandfather who sent cash, a small apartment, and now triplets. All of this at eighteen. How?
Forty minutes later Nathan found himmself alone for the first time with his children. A nurse peeped her head in, "Let us know when you're ready to sleep so we can take them to nursery and when you have the names as well."
Nathan just stared at the three.
"Wow, how in the world are we going to do this?" He asked knowing he probably would never get an answer. "Just so you know, it's my fault your mom is not here. She's an amazing person. Maybe we'll see her again." He sighed. "Okay, so names...I picked up this book, and there's some pretty cool names. I'm sorry if you guys hate me later on. I don't really know what I'm dong here."
He looked at the oldest of the girls, "Brielle...Brielle Olivia Scott..." He smiled proud of himmself, glad there wasn't some sore of cry in protest before moving on the his middle girl, he had found a name in the book when he first found it that he had been quiete attached to..."Gracyn Elizabeth Scott...and for daddy's little boy Halen...Halen Lucas Scott, you have a very special name. You know what, you guys? I'm going to promise you that I'm going to try for you. I'm going to try."
Until next time, this is me...signing out.
