I know, its been ages since I've updated. I wrote this chapter awhile back but I wasn't too happy with it and thought that I would change some things around later. That never happened and I have writers block on this story (and half my others) so I'm just posting this. I don't think its my best work, but I'll do. Reviews are LOVE. - Brittany

The alarm clock that rested on the nightstand next to the small springy motel bed went off. Nathan slung his arm over and switched it off. He grunted a little. He just wanted to go back to sleep. He turned over to wrap his arm around his wife, but all he got was air. His eyes opened and as his eye sight adjusted to the light from the room he scanned the floor for Haley. He didn't see any sign of her but then realized that the water from the shower was running. How could he forget that Haley is a early riser and gets up at 5:45 everyday. A smirk spread across sleepy face when a thought entered his head. He jumped out of bed and snuck into the bathroom. Quickly taking off his boxers and wife beater he had been wearing he opened the shower door and kiss Haley's shoulder. Haley jumped when she felt his lips on her wet skin. She turned around and slapped him on the shoulder.
"Nathan Scott! What the hell!" She screamed.
Nathan couldn't help but laugh. "Sorry babe. Just thought we could save some water and shower together."
Haley smiled slightly. "Something tells me that you've said that line before."
Nathan smiled. "Why don't you pick up that body scrubber and wash me?"
Haley began to laugh. "Ha-ha-ha. I don't mean to burst your bubble there hubby, but I was just about to get out. So, you can scrub yourself and, maybe with some cold water." Haley looked down and chuckled. "Looks like you could use it." She then left the shower quickly to leave Nathan to his cold water.
"So are you ready for the first day of school as man and wife?" Nathan asked as he toweled off his head.
"Yeah about that, um, would it be so bad if we held off on telling people?" Haley asked as she put books into her backpack.
Nathan walked up behind her, putting a hand on her shoulder he made her face him. "Hales, people are going to find out sooner or later. We should just get it over with now."
"Why can't we just wait 'till the later?" Haley pleaded.
Nathan signed. "Haley, if we wait to long all of our friends will hate us for not telling them now. So we should just tell them today."
Haley took a deep breath. "Lucas is going to hate us."
"Who cares? He'll get over himself sometime. Its our lives. He just has to live with it."
Haley nodded. "You're right." She gave him a slight smile. "But what abut the baby?" Haley said as she put a hand on her stomach.
Nathan let out another sigh. "We can wait to tell everyone about the baby, if you want. We'll tell everyone that we have been dating behind everyone's backs and decided to get married spur of the moment."
Haley nodded. "Sounds good. But won't everyone get mad that we lied to them about that too once they find out I'm pregnant?"
"We'll tell them that we didn't find out you were pregnant until after we were married."
"Nathan, that's still a lie." Haley stated.
"Who cares? Its either lie about that or tell everyone the real reason we're married." Nathan said.
The real reason. Haley thought. She desperately wanted the real reason to be that they loved each other. Or at least Nathan loved her back. Guess smart girls are stupid 'cause those we're the exact thoughts going through Nathan's mind.
"Get dressed. We have to get to school." Haley said, picking up her backpack and heading for the front door.

"Tutor girl!" Brooke squealed.
Haley took a drink of her water bottle that she had brought with her from the motel. "Hey Brookie." She said with a smile.
"Whats that on your finger?" She asked.
Nothing gets by Brooke. Haley thought. "Um, it's a ring." Haley stated. She looked at over at Nathan who was standing by Lucas talking.
"Duh, Haley. I can see that. But why do you have a gold band around your ring finger?" She asked.
Nathan took this one. "Haley has a ring on her ring finger for the same reason I do." He stated, as he pulled Haley close to him.
"Wait! What?! You two got promise rings?" Brooke asked.
Haley shook her head. "No, we got wedding rings."
"We got married over the weekend." Nathan said.
"Haley, what?" Lucas said.
"Yeah. We've been dating for awhile now, but didn't want to say anything. And it was sort of spur of the moment."
"No kidding." Brooke piped in. "Oh I get it! You're totally pregnant right?" Broke asked.
Nathan coughed slightly and said, "No Brooke. Just because two people get married doesn't mean their having a baby." Nathan felt bad about lying to his friends, but it was what Haley wanted.
"I can't believe you're married Haley." Lucas said.
"Yeah, you know, now that Nathan and I are married that makes us related, brother In law." Haley smiled.
"Oh jeez you're my sister in law! Damn my bad luck." Lucas joked.
"Ha-ha. Now you're stuck with me."
