I don't own One tree Hill.
Haley looked around the spare bedroom at Karen's, Karen had agreed to let her move into the spare room until she could save up some more money and move into her own apartment again. After Nathan left she hadn't had enough money to stay where they had been living. Now the bed was made her clothes where in the closet and she felt at home.
"Hey Haley you all unpacked."
She turned to look at Lucas "Yeah I can't thank you and your mom enough for letting me live here."
"Haley you know what I told you you're not on your own we're all here for you." With those words a knock sounded on the front door and then they heard Brooke's voice.
"Anyone home?"
"In here tigger." Haley called out.
"Hey," Brooke came bouncing into the room I have good news for you."
"What?"
I have a lawyer who's willing to take you on for free he's my dad's golf partner."
"Oh thank you so much Brookie." Haley hugged her tightly.
"Can't breathe tutor mom," Brooke gasped out.
"Well we have a lawyer down when is your first ultrasound?" Lucas asked.
"Tomorrow" Haley twisted the fabric of her shirt around in her hand. "Will you two come with me."
"Of course I'll come," Luke said at once and Brooke nodded her head in agreement.
"but right now I have a date with Chase so I have to go." Brooke waved leaving the house.
"How are you dealing with the whole Brooke Chase thing?" Haley asked sitting on the bed.
He shrugged "She'll always be my friend but we were never meant to make it as a couple.
"I'm sorry Luke." Haley sighed placing her hand on her best friends shoulder.
"Hey I'll live and I have more important things in my life like you my mom and two mini Scotts." He poked her in the side causing her to giggle.
"Who said I was going to give the baby the last name Scott. I'm a James again?"
"What your going to give the baby the last name James."
"I'm really not sure I need to think about it." Luke nodded his head.
"Whatever you decide is ok with me Hals."
Haley smiled at her best friend her rock and wondered how Karen had made the choice she did how Lucas became a Scott and not a Roe.
The next day Haley waited nervously at the doctor's office waiting for her first ultrasound "Haley James." The nurse called out Haley stood up and started towards her Lucas and Brooke behind her. The nurse took her weight and vitals. "Ok the doctor will be in a moment. "
"Thank you." Haley smiled at the nurse.
The doctor came in soon after "Hello Miss James all your labs look good lets see how far along you are." Haley lay back and lifted her shirt she held Lucas's hand on one side and Brooke's on the other as she felt the cool jelly on her stomach and felt the probe on her belly the doctor looked at the screen and smiled." It looks like your about 10 weeks pregnant. Your due date is around May 18"
"Hey Maybe you'll have a graduation baby Brooke joked.
"Oh great," Haley laughed.
"Well it would be fitting if your baby was born at a school function I mean you are called tutor girl." Lucas joked. Haley stuck her tongue out at him.
"And this women will be a mother mature Haley bob." Brooke teased. The doctor chuckled and took some pictures for Haley then they took down all the medical information after the appointment Haley couldn't stop looking at the pictures in her hand her tiny baby. Her eyes misted over. And Lucas squeezed her hand. "It's amazing isn't it I saw my mom's the other day."
"Yeah its amazing." She gave him a watery smile as Brooke handed her a tissue.
"No tears tutor girl." She grinned she watched how tender and understanding Lucas was with Haley and she knew at that moment what she'd always know in the back of her mind that Haley James had chosen the wrong Scott Brother the first time around.
Brooke broke off from the group to go home and Lucas and Haley walked together Haley held out a picture out to Lucas. "Here Luke A picture for you." He took it and smiled at her thanks Haley" Lucas went to the river court tucking the picture of his new niece or nephew into his coat. Haley went to find Karen at the Café.
"Hey how was the appointment." Haley smiled and handed Karen a picture. "Its amazing isn't it." The older women asked putting her own hand over her stomach.
"Yes it is." Haley agreed "Can I talk to you for a moment Karen."
"Of course Haley dear what's on your mind?"
"How did you decide to give Lucas the Scott name."
Karen smiled weakly. "It was Keith I watched him hold Lucas in that hospital and I had to give him the name Scott for Keith."
Haley knew what she had to do she would name the baby Scott not for Nathan but for Lucas her own Scott just as Karen had Keith she had Lucas she looked into the eyes of the older women and wondered where her road would take her. Would it be similar to Karen Roe's or completely different.
