The drive home proved to be impossible through Haley's tears. She pulled over to the side of the road and cried. She cried until she couldn't anymore. She could not believe that Nathan reacted that way, she was carrying his child. He couldn't just forsake it. At this point Haley didn't care if she ever saw to heard from him again. After crying out all her tears, she drove the rest of the way to her house.
Nathan dejectedly went and sat down next to Tim. He couldn't believe he had reacted that way, he replayed the entire confrontation in his head and realized he had been wrong.
"So what did Haley want then?" Tim asked.
"Nothing." Nathan replied not wanting to talk about it. Even Tim could sense the subject was closed, and he didn't mention it again for the rest of the lunch period. As if on autopilot when the bell rang Nathan gathered his bag and walked to class. He didn't greet anyone, he didn't talk to anyone, he just walked. His head was filled with images of Haley's face, when he told her to get an abortion. He had never seen someone so hurt, so angry in his life. It hurt him to see her like that, and he needed to make things right. He started formulating a plan in his head.
Brooke and Lucas got back to the school just in time. Brooke had taken Lucas to her house, so he could officially meet Faith. Knowing what he now knew, he loved Faith and Brooke more than he ever knew he could love another person more. There was something about finding out that you're a father, that made your heart swell with pride, joy, love and every other good emotion there was. Yes, the baby thing shocked Lucas at first, but now after only a little while he was embracing it. He promised his little girl that he would be the best father in the world. She would never want for anything. Lucas held Brooke's hand, while walking to class. He was positive life couldn't get any better than this. They walked past a very dejected looking Nathan. Lucas was curious to he put a hand on his arm urging him to stop.
"Hey man, whats wrong?" Lucas asked cautiously.
"Nothing. I just got some things going on." he replied.
"Oh. Yeah me too. I just found out that I'm a father. So whatever it is, cant be as big as that." Lucas consoled his younger brother.
"How's this. I just found out that the girl I'm in love with is pregnant with my child. And I told her to go get an abortion because we weren't ready to be parents. I had to watch her walk away in tears, and I regret every word of what I said to her. And I cant fix it, because she isn't here. How's that?" Nathan told Lucas.
"You do know that you can fix this right? Just go to her house, and take everything back. "I'm sorry" are two very magical words. You should try using them." Lucas told Nathan before reaching for Brooke's hand and starting to walk away.
"Hey Lucas! Can you tell Mr. Lane that I'm not going to be in Math? Tell him I'm sick and I went home because I have some serious apologizing to do." he called after Lucas. Lucas nodded his agreement and continued walking down the hall. Brooke and Lucas made plans to stay at her house with Faith for the evening so Lucas could spend some more time getting to know his daughter
Meanwhile, Nathan was driving to Haley's house, planning what he was going to say to Haley when she opened that door. Nathan didn't have too much time to practice because in no time he pulled up in front of her house. The house she shared with Chris. He took a deep breath and stepped out of the car. He walked up her walkway and rang the doorbell. When she opened the door, her smile completely disappeared.
"Nathan, what are you doing here?" she asked coldly.
"I came to apologize. Whatever you want to do about this baby, I will be here with you every step of the way. Haley I was wrong to tell you to abort the baby. The more I thought about it, the more I agreed with you. This child is part of me. I created it. I don't want to destroy something I created. I love you Haley James, and I want to raise our child together." he said emotionally.
Haley couldn't speak, he had just said all the things, she wanted him to say. She was completely speechless, which was rare for her. So instead of saying something, she just threw her arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. When they parted, she invited Nathan into the house. They discussed how they were going to tell Chris. She didn't want to hurt him, there was a part of her that still loved him, but it was nothing compared to the feelings she had for Nathan. They hadn't thought of anything before she heard the front door open, then close.
"Haley? Are you home?" Chris called from the door.
"Um, yeah I'm in the living room." she called back, suddenly nervous.
Chris walked into the living room, and saw Nathan sitting on the couch next to Haley.
"What's he doing here, Haley?" Chris asked.
"Um…" Haley said trying to think of an excuse she could use temporarily.
"I just came by to check on Haley since she's wasn't in class this afternoon." Nathan said smoothly.
"Oh, okay" Chris said seemingly satisfied with this answer.
"Actually that's not true" Haley said, she was tired of lying to Chris. It was time he knew everything.
"What do you mean Hales?" Chris asked suspiciously. Nathan just looked at Haley, and she nodded.
"Nathan, isn't here because he wanted to see if I was okay. He is here because we have been seeing each other since just after we moved here. And Chris I'm really sorry that you have to hear about this here. But I'm in love with Nathan, and I'm carrying his baby." she told him with tears in her eyes.
"I knew it. I just knew there was something up between you two. I had it confirmed when I saw you two kiss in the parking lot a few weeks back. But I knew something was happening that night you went to the party at Nathan's without me. And now to find out you're pregnant, that is just icing on the cake." Chris ranted.
"Chris I'm sorry. I wish I could have told you sooner. But I just found out about the pregnancy today. I'm so sorry." she said the tears falling freely now.
"Haley, I cant do this now. I think you need to leave, I cant live here with someone who not only doesn't love me, but isn't faithful to me. You need to leave. I'm sorry." he said laying his face in his hands. Nathan stood up and reached for Haley's hand, and took it softly. "You can stay with me, Haley. That isn't a problem. I'll meet you in the car, just go grab some things." Nathan said before walking out of the house. Haley stood there for a moment, knowing that officially here life wasn't going to be the same. She looked at Chris, sitting with his head in his hands, and instantly felt guilty. But she couldn't turn back now, so Haley quickly walked to what had once been their bedroom and packed a bag. Then quickly left the house, and Chris behind. She knew she was leaving more than just Chris behind, she was leaving an identity behind. She was leaving her music behind, it wouldn't be the same not being part of the duo Haley James and Chris Keller. She was leaving all that she knew, for a life she had no experience with. She was moving from the glitz and glamour to motherhood. Her life was changing, and she welcomed the change.
