Live on through: Twice the fun Twice the trouble: Chapter one
Nathan lay down on his stingy hotel room bed, the sheets were gross and crispy and nothing at all like the bedding that his wife provided, compared to this room sleeping at home felt like sleeping on clouds. He couldn't believe that he had let Clay drag him out like this he hated being away from home, he didn't need adventure his kids provided him with enough adventure to last him a life time. It was that time of night, he grabbed his phone and got ready to answer it when his wife called, it was always at nine once the kids were asleep and she had some time to herself, Clay knew the routine and made himself disappear for that half an hour to an hour, tonight he was out getting snacks and whinging about how he missed Quinn. His phone rang and he quickly snapped it up
"Hey beautiful" he said making himself comfortable
"I didn't have any idea that you felt this way about me" the male voice said on the other end of the phone
"Clay" said Nathan said breathing in
"Do you always answer the phone like that? Cause that could get you in trouble"
"Clay what do you want?"
"Salty or sweet?"
"Surprise me" Nathan said hanging up the phone and answering his wives call "Haley?"
"Who else would it be?"
"You have no idea" he said throwing his hand above his head "How are you beautiful?"
"I'm feeling pretty dodgy" she said sitting on her bed supported by pillows but fidgeting as though she was nervous
"That's no good, what's wrong?" he said with a concerning tone in his voice
"Nathan!" she gulped before getting off the bed "I think I'm pregnant"
"WHAT?" he said sitting upright and swinging his legs off the bed "Well are you?"
"I don't know I haven't taken the test yet"
"Why not?" he said failing to hide the excitement in his voice
"Because I'm scared and I wanted you here with me" she said with a quivering tone and he felt instantly guilty
"Well I am here right now babe, go take the test"
"I'm not peeing on a stick while I am on the phone to you, I can't" she sort of nervously giggled
"Okay then hang up, take the test and then call me back. Okay?" he said with a big smile on his face
"Okay" she said hanging up her phone and running off into the bathroom, ripping through cabinets trying to find the test that she knew was in there, she was frantic, it had to be in there somewhere. She leant down on the floor reaching into the bottom cupboard, she grasped a box and knew she had hit the jackpot; she pulled the pink box out and carefully read the instructions.
Nathan walked around his hotel room frantically he just wanted his wife to call and tell him whether it was negative or positive, he needed to know and him waiting made it seem like so much more time so to make it through the time he did what he knew how to, he paced. The phone sat on the bed and began to ring, Nathan literally jumped to it.
"So what is it? Are you pregnant?"
"I don't think so, but my nipples are feeling a little bit sensitive"
"Lucas?"
"Sure is Little brother. Wait is Haley pregnant? Atta Boy"
"I don't know yet! Lucas I have to get off the phone so Haley can call"
"Yeah sure mate, good luck"
"Oh Lucas you have to pretend that you didn't know if Haley is knocked up"
"Goodbye Super Sperm Scott" Lucas said hanging up the phone. Again the phone went off and Nathan jumped for it
"Haley?"
"Who else would it be?" she laughed into the phone
"You have no idea. So what is it? Are we pregnant or not?" he said overly excited
"I don't know yet, it's nearly ready!"
"Okay let's just wait together" he said as they both sat anxiously perched; Nathan on the hotel bed and Haley on the bath tub looking intently on at the pregnancy test in her hand. The silence was killing him he just wanted to know.
"NATHAN!" she screamed into the phone with excitement "I'M PREGNANT" she yelled jumping up and down dancing manically around the bathroom.
"We're Pregnant?" he asked in shock
"IT'S TWO LINES I'M FRIGGEN PREGNANT" she screamed as she continued to dance
"YES" Nathan yelled jumping up onto the bed before jumping down and started dancing in a similar style to his wife on the other end of the phone.
"Oh crap I woke Lydia up, babe I've got to go, I love you my baby daddy" she smiled into the receiver before hanging up and walking towards her daughter's bedroom. Nathan threw his phone is phone onto the bed and continued to dance around he was so oblivious to his surroundings that he didn't notice Clay walking back into the room watching on as Nathan danced around.
"What are you doing?" Clay laughed behind him as Nathan paused and looked off into the distance before turning around and throwing all his clothes into his suitcase "Where are you going? We have basketballers to watch"
"I have to go home Clay, like right now"
Clay hit his own panic button "What's going on?" he asked full of confusion
"I can't tell you"
"Then I can't let you go man" Clay said moving to stand next to his business partner
"Clay, Haley's pregnant. I have to get home right now" he said continuing to pack as Clay laughed and pat him on the back
"Good going Nate, Go home I'll sort out the business here" he said helping throw Nathan's belongings into the suitcase "GET OUT OF HERE" he yelled smacking Nathan's ass, Nathan turned around awkwardly but Clay just shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the doorway, which Nathan ran out of quickly getting into his car. Clay sat down on the double bed with his packet of chips and his chocolate bar smiling up at the roof; he was going to be an uncle again.
Nathan got home two days later, he parked the car really badly and ran into the house, he threw his bag on the floor and ran upstairs to Lydia's room where he could distinctively hear chatter, he ran in expecting to see his wife and daughter but instead found his sister-in law on the floor playing with the little girl. Quinn turned and looked at him "You're sweaty" she said looking at him concerned as the little girl on the floor stood up and walked over to her dad with her arms upwards indicating that she wanted to be lifted up, Nathan did and then kissed her forehead.
"Where is Haley?" he asked desperately
"Haley had a doctor's appointment, she had been trying to call you, and so you're back does that mean Clay is too?" Quinn said as Nathan reached into his pocket flipping his phone over and realising that it must have run out of battery somewhere between when he left the hotel and that exact moment.
"No he still has work to do I just needed to come home. What doctor's appointment?" he asked nervously
"I don't know she wouldn't tell me, but she took Brooke with her, call Julian he might know?" she said as Nathan indicated to his dead phone "Take mine" Quinn said throwing it at him, he caught it put his daughter down and ran back down the stairs as Quinn was left there standing so very confused.
"Julian it's me" Nathan said into the receiver "I was just wondering if you knew where Haley and Brooke went today?" he said listening intently as he hopped into the car "Thanks man I owe you"
Nathan ran into the doctor's office frantically searching for his wife in the waiting room, when he didn't see her he ran up to the front desk and demanded to know where his wife was, the woman behind the desk wouldn't let him in sprouting stuff about confidentiality, Nathan was at the point of yelling when a voice behind him said his name; Nathan turned and there stood a smiling Brooke holding a plastic cup filled with water.
"Brooke, where is she?" he said finally taking a moment to breath before Brooke dragged him up the hallway into a small room where Haley was sitting perched on the end of an examination table, she looked at the door and smiled.
"Nathan!" she said as her face lit up "What are you doing here?"
"I wanted to meet our baby" he said walking over to her and kissing her forehead
"Remember that sometimes those tests aren't completely reliable"
"I have a good feeling about it babe" he said pushing his wife's hair behind her ear
Brooke passed Haley the cup of water and offered to leave but Haley and Nathan both insisted that she might as well stay. Nathan paced around the room babbling about everything and anything
"Nathan does this when he is nervous" Haley said turning to Brooke
"Oh yeah I remember him doing this at Jamie and Lydia's ultrasounds too" Brooke laughed as a doctor walked in and introduced himself to the small group formed in the examination room, The doctor had already taken bloods and confirmed that Haley was in fact pregnant and then he offered to show her the babies which they all quickly accepted.
Haley lifted up her shirt, Nathan held her left hand and Brooke sat next to her with her hand on her knee as the doctor squeezed the cold gel onto her stomach and she shivered, the doctor moved the ultrasound machine across her stomach, she giggled as it tickled her stomach, Just as the doctor pushed harder the room was filled with a distinctive heartbeat and both Haley and Brooke burst into tears.
"We have two very strong heartbeats here" the doctor happily announced to the expecting parents
"Wait two?" Haley said turning to the doctor and the screen with tears running down her cheeks
"You have two little babies in there with very strong heartbeats" The doctor said with a smile
"Oh my god we're having twins" Haley said turning to Nathan as he kissed her forehead "Twenty little baby toes"
"You're making it sound like we are having a mutant baby" Nathan said as Brooke laughed in the corner
"Bags not having the birds and bees talk again" Nathan quickly said
"Neither" Brooke chimed in as Nathan and the doctor laughed
"Isn't having the babies enough? Now I have to have the birds and bees talk"
