I don't own anything but the story

Chapter 7 Worse Than Dan

It took about three week to finally reach Haley. She wanted to go home but she wasn't sure she should. If he left her twice then what was stopping him from leaving again. It wasn't the baby for that's why he left the first two times. She had no idea what to do. She didn't feel like talking to him so she found paper and pen. She started to write to him.

Nathan I will come home but not soon. When you walked out on us you destroyed the trust I had in you. To have me come home you will have to earn that trust back. I know you are asking how am I spouse to do that with you not here. Send me a letter every day for a month. That's how you can earn it back.

By this time Haley was four months pregnant. She was showing too. She walked out to the street and mailed the letter. She walked back into the house knowing it would take about a month and a half for Nathan to answer her. By the time she might go home again she would be seven months pregnant.

"Haley" Called her father Jimmy James.

"Yes."

"what are you doing?" He asked.

"Nothing just writing the name I chose for the baby."

"you know what it is?" He stepped towards her.

"You're going to have a grandson." She whispered in his ear.

THREE WEEKS LATER

Nathan walked out to check the mail never expecting anything more than bills. When he opened it and saw the letter from Haley his heart lightened. He ran back in the apartment, and jumped on the couch. She still loves me he thought. He ripped the envelope open and was about to read it when there came a knock at his door. Nathan unwillingly gets up to open the door. Standing there on the outside was someone he didn't really want to see right then.

"Carrie what are you doing here?"

"Remember when we where together a little over a month ago?"

"Yes."

"Nathan…I'm Late…" Nathan could not believe this was happening to him. Lucas was right I am turning into our father. Nathan had that thought running wild in his head.

"Have you taken a test?"

"No I wanted to do it together."

"Ok."

Nathan awaited nervously in the hall right by the bathroom door. Carrie walked out and showed the test to him. Positive. Nathan could not believe it. He did not want this, the baby he wanted was his and Haley's baby.

"It's positive." Nathan said upset that he let this happen.

"What are we going to do?"

"Go to the clinic."

Nathan and Carrie walked into the clinic. Every eye was on them. Nathan being a senior in high school was being jugged. This must be how Haley felt going by herself, Nathan thought. Carrie was twenty-one and ready for this. Nathan was not. In the corner of the room he saw Rachel. No one liked Rachel besides Brooke. Nathan walked over to her not being surprised she was there. She would sleep with anyone. He himself had a fun night with her not to long ago.

"Hey Rachel."

"Nathan," She said startled "what are you doing here?" Nathan looked down at the ground.

"You're not here with Haley are you?"

"No Haley left."

"Good because then I got something to say to you." Nathan tilted his head up and meat her eyes.

"Not you to?" He asked.

"Three months."

"Do you know who the dad is?"

"I'm working on it, but the more I look at it the more it points to you."

"No it can't be I can't be worse than my father!" Nathan yelled knowing if Haley ever found out the truth she would leave and never come back to him.

"I'm sorry Nathan. It is what it is. You help make the dissection when we sleep together. You know that there was a chance for this." She said scared.

Nathan walked away from her and back to Carrie.

"So how did it go?"

"There going to call me." No longer than about half way home her phone started to ring.

"Hello. Yes. I understand. Thank you."

"So what did they say?"

"We're pregnant Nate!" She said with joy as she throw her arms around him. Nathan could tell the stories about his past has not caught up with her yet. Nathan drove the rest of the way in quit. There was only one thing on his mind, three babies, three different girl, one betrayed wife. Nathan felt lifeless.

"Carrie.. I was thinking that maybe you could move in and I could help with the baby. I mean if I can't be there for…" Nathan stopped.

"If you can't be there for who?"

"Nothing at least I can be there for you."

"I would love to move in Nathan."
