So I'm sorry I havn't updated in a while... I'm really busy with school and swim team, plus the fact that it is hard for me to write a decent chapter that I like anyways... Then I edit the heck out of it...
I hope you like it and please review...

Well here it is...
At 5 when her shift ended Haley quickly got home to change for dance practice when she saw the one guy she didn't expect to see...
"Bryan," Haley screamed running to him and jumping into his arms.
"Hey Hales," Bryan said hugging her back. "I missed you buddy."
"Me too, me too," Haley said still not letting go. Finally pulling away she got out her house key opening the door so they could go into the large house.
"So where are the parents" he asked once they were sitting at the counter eating sandwiches.
"On some cruise," she replied no emotion in her voice.
"How are you doing?"
"I should probably tell you something." The emotion still void from her voice as tears formed in her eyes.
"You know you can tell me anything… You know that right?"
"You aren't going to like this…" Tears running down her face and Bryan put a comforting hand on her back. "I'm pregnant."
Bryan took a harsh breath in trying to calm himself down, knowing she was hurting and didn't need criticism, not from him not from anyone but he knew it would eventually come from their parents. Right now she just needed him. Now Haley was sobbing as he pulled her into a big hug. "It's okay… it will all be okay."
Haley lifted her head and sniffled, "You promise?"
Bryan put his forehead against hers, "I promise."
"Honey I'm Home!" They heard Brooke's voice bellow through the house a few moments later as the front door closed behind her.
"We're in here!" Haley shouted wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Who is we?" She asked as she entered the kitchen. "Bryan!" Brooke screamed running and jumping into his arms. Brooke had been like another sister to Bryan and Bryan like a brother to Brooke.
"Hey Brooke," Bryan said hugging her back. "How have you been?"
"Good, I'm good," Brooke nodded her head as there was an awkward pause between the three. "So…" Brooke began. "Did Haley tell you about the baby?" She asked and both Bryan and Haley's mouths dropped.
"I did but if I hadn't you would have just blurted it out to him." Haley laughed, Brooke was unbelievable sometimes but all you could do was love her.
"I had to get it out of my system." Brooke defended shrugging her shoulder as she grabbed an apple and bit into it.
"Whatever, just as long as you don't tell anyone else," Haley got up. "I think I'm going to skip dance today… I mean I'm going to miss a lot more in the next couple of months." Haley said a hand on her stomach.
"So who would the father be by the way," Bryan asked still trying to grasp the situation.
Haley looked down, "Nathan." She mumbled. Bryan closed his eyes and took a deep breath in, he and Nathan had been really good friends growing up and it took everything he had not to go and beat him up. When he opened his eyes again he saw tears streaming down Haley's face. "God I hate this," she laughed through her tears. "I'm so God damn emotional!"
"I am not looking forward to the next 9 months," Brooke laughed.
"Neither am I," Haley laughed. "I mean not only do I have to get fat but I have to do it under the watchful eyes of the entire school and town."
"Haley…" Bryan started.
"I'll be fine… the only thing worse then that is telling dad and mom." Haley said rolling her eyes at the mom part.
"How long are they gone anyways?" Bryan asked.
"They told me in a note where they were and it did not contain any way to contact them or how long they would be gone." Haley said with a wave of her hand.
"Ouch… well at least I can stay for a while then," Bryan said which made Haley smile. "So what is going on with the whole Nathan and baby thing…" he stopped once he saw the tears pouring down Haley's face once again. "God I am just going to shut my mouth every time I speak you start to cry kid." He wrapped his arms around her. "I think it is time to go to bed, you have had a long day." He lifted her into his arms carrying her upstairs and put her in bed before making his way down to Brooke.
"Nathan said he needed time," Brooke told him before he could ask. "She told him she was pregnant and all he said to me not even to her was that he needed some time."
"When was this?"
"Yesterday," Brooke replied. "She didn't go to school today… I think it was the first day she has missed since second grade when the when she asked to go to the bathroom the teacher told her that she could hold it for a bit and then she ended up peeing her pants in front of the class. She didn't go to school the next day." They both laughed slightly at the memory. "I mean she even went to school with the flu."
"What did Nathan say about her missing school?"
"He came up to me and asked and I told him she couldn't go and see him there and I walked away, I thought if I told him and was mean he might come over and apologize to her but he didn't. He said he would call and he still hasn't to my knowledge. I just think he had better shape up soon because Haley isn't going to wait for him forever. I know her and I know that once she clears her mind she won't be thinking about herself or Nathan the only thing she will be thinking about is that baby and what she thinks is best for it."
"Yeah and it might not be the best way for her to go about it." Brooke nodded. "I'm going to turn in, you're more then welcome to stay here… of course you know that." They laughed and made their way upstairs.
"Night," Brooke said and Bryan nodded as he went one way to his old room and she went the other to Haley's and climbed into bed next to her.
The next morning Haley woke up to the smell of breakfast cooking downstairs. Haley rushed to the bathroom throwing up before slowly making her way down stairs she rubbed her sleepy puffy eyes.
"About time your up tutor-girl I was beginning to worry, you never get up this late." Brooke said with a laugh as Bryan gave his sister a big hug.
"Morning kid," he said not letting go.
"If you hug me any tighter I'm going to barf all over you." They all laughed and Bryan let her go. "So what's for breakfast?"
"Sausage, eggs, and toast," Brooke smiled.
"Please tell me you aren't making it." Haley laughed as Brooke glared at her.
"You know what at lease I can make toast."
"Hey I can make everything but that!" Haley stuck her tongue out at Brooke who did the same.
"My God you guys are just like kids." Bryan said rolling his eyes. Both girls stuck their tongues out at him and laughed hysterically.
The rest of the morning they spent talking and eating and watching Saturday morning cartoons laughing hysterically trying to avoid anything that had to do with the pregnancy. Bryan left around noon saying he was going to run some errands. While Nathan spent his morning also avoiding thinking about it, he was playing basketball at the rivercourt when he saw Bryan walking up very pissed. Nathan just kept shooting hoops trying to delay the obvious blowout. When the ball bounced off the rim Bryan caught it and passed it to Nathan. Soon they were playing one-on-one and just having fun both forgot about everything they just had fun for a little while. After a while they sat down on the table by the court and just looked around.
"You are really hurting her man," Bryan said after a while. Nathan took a deep breath in and closed his eyes.
"You are hurting her too," Nathan said, and Bryan looked at him questioningly. "You leaving," Nathan clarified. "You abandoned her, your dad and mom don't give her the time of day unless to criticize her, her only family is me, Brooke, Lucas, Peyton and Chase, but we aren't her real family. I know I'm hurting her really bad, I know but I don't want to say anything to hurt her, I just need some time to think about it…" Nathan paused and took a deep breath, "It's my fault." Bryan looked at him. "We didn't really use protection, I mean I was so stupid and I'm pretty sure that she wasn't on birth control, what reason she would have, I mean we weren't really together. I don't really know if she told you." When Bryan shook his head he continued. "Both our parents wouldn't leave us alone about getting together and what a cute couple we would make. So one day we decided to go on a date just to get them off our backs. It just got worse after that so we pretended to date, we pretended to date for almost a year. I would forget it was fake sometimes. We would kiss and stuff in front of our parents and our friends and we would go on fake dates. Then at a party we both were drinking and then a guy started hitting on Haley, I punched him when he wouldn't back off. Haley thanked me and one thing led to another." He paused and got up and started pacing. "God!" He punched the table and his fist started to bleed.
"Nathan it isn't all your fault," Bryan said. "As much as I hate you for getting my baby sister pregnant and walking out on her it is just as much her fault as it is yours. It takes two to make a baby. Now you leaving her alone in this is all your fault." He laughed trying to lighten the mood. Nathan who didn't find it very funny just sat staring at the blood dripping from his knuckles. "You need to be there for her, help her through this."
"I know it's just hard." Nathan said still watching the blood dripping.
"Life is hard Nathan," Bryan shouted at him. "You need to grow up, she is suffering just as much as you are."
"Do you know what having a kid will do to me?" Nathan shouted back. "What about my dreams and goals and my dad, did you ever think about how seriously pissed he will be?"
"What about Haley and her dreams and her goals and what our parents are going to do to her," Bryan took a deep breath and continued a lot calmer. "Think about Haley and what it is going to do to her. Could you really watch Haley have your child and do nothing, let somebody help raise your child? Do you really think you would ever be able to do that? This isn't just some issue that will work its self out, it is going to be a baby you and Haley's baby, so just think about that." With that Bryan walked away.
"Haley he will come around sooner or later." Brooke told Haley.
"I'm not so sure he will…" Haley said looking at her feet. "What will I do if he doesn't?" The look Haley gave her broke Brooke's heart.
"Haley, I will always be there for you."
"That is what everyone says but it isn't true."
"Haley…"
"No, I'm right and you know it, my mom left, my parents don't give a damn, then Bryan and now Nathan, its only a matter of time…"
"Haley don't even say that…" Brooke shouted at her grabbing her face to look at her. "That isn't true and you know it. Nathan will come around, your parents are idiots, your brother loves you, and I will never, ever leave you… okay?" Haley nodded as Brooke hugged her. They sat around watching a movie and eating ice cream until Brooke had to go home. Bryan was still gone so Haley just sat watching T.V. still eating ice cream. As she was watching Gilmore Girls a commercial for a pregnancy test came on, she quickly changed turned the T.V. off still avoiding thinking about the pregnancy. Haley thought that if she didn't think about it, then it wasn't happening. Haley got up off the couch and was about to go to bed when she heard the front door open.
