Haley woke up and looked around the room. She looked at Nathan who was sleeping next to her. He had his head on her stomach. I think he was trying to listening to the baby move around. She wakes him up by messing up his hair. "Hey you, wake up."

Nathan lifted his head. "Hey. You're awake."

"I am. I do that sometimes. And I get released today. So maybe you might want to shower to bring me to school."

"Okay. I'll be back in about a half hour. I love you." He kissed her.

"I love you too."

At school, Nathan was helping Haley to each of her classes. Principal Turner then Nathan wheel Haley around. She had English this period with Brooke, Lucas, Peyton and Rachel.

"Okay, first I would like to say welcome back Haley. And now we'll get right into The Crucible. Now, Haley have you read Act One of this?" Haley nodded. "Haley, what do you think of Abby?"

"I think Abby is…."

"Excuse me, Mr. Galley. These police officers have something to do."

"Go ahead officers."

One of the officers walked into the classroom. "Rachel Gatina, stand up please." Rachel did so. He put the handcuffs on her. "Rachel Gatina, you are under arrest for the attempted murder of Haley James. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say, can and will be held against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford one, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights as I have said then to you." Rachel just glared at Haley as she left.

Haley smiled. She looked down at her stomach and she put her hands on the stomach. "She's gone sweetie, thanks for asking." Nathan looked at her weird. Haley just took one of his hand and put it on her stomach. "She's kicking."

"That is so cool."

"Okay," Mr. Galley said, "Let's get back to work. Haley, you were talking,, what did you think of Abby?"

"I think Abby is self centered. She had an affair with Proctor. She was the other women in this little family. Elizabeth has no clue what Na…. I mean what Proctor did. And I feel like what ever happened between the two, since Abby as we know is an evil bitch, that whatever happens throughout the rest of the play, she might try to hurt Proctor's relationship with his wife."

"Good, great response." He looked around. "Lucas, what do think of Proctor and this affair with Abby?"

Lucas just looked at Nathan. He then looked at the teacher. "I think he made a mistake, but we all make mistakes."

"A mistake?" one girl asked. "A mistake is forgetting to turn the light off, not sticking your penis in some other chick. Cheating is wrong. It's against the laws of marriage. And I'm glad it's against the law here. I wish it was now."

Brooke scoffed. "Okay, Liz, just because Steven cheated on you, doesn't mean other guys cheat on their girlfriends."

"Doesn't mean they don't."

"I think it's Abby's fault." one guy said. "I mean she knew what she was getting herself into when she slept with him. She knew it wasn't gonna turn into this world wind romance. I mean, the guy is married."

Haley looked at Nathan. Haley looked at Jeremy. "It's just as much Proctor's fault as it is Abby's. They both had sex with each other. I mean it happens all the time. We shouldn't make a big deal of this."

Nathan's phone began to ring. "Sorry." He ran out the door. He opened his cell phone. "Hey Clay."

"Are you gonna tell me why you turned down the Bob Cat offer. They called me to make sure you weren't losing your mind. What's going on."

"I decided to work here. In the school."

"To be closer to Taylor, she'll understand."

"It isn't about Taylor. It's about me. I want to do something meaningful and it would be better for me to teach young boys the moral of the game rather than just playing ball for thousands of people."

"Okay. Just think about it."

Nathan looked in the classroom. He looked at Haley who was intently listening to the teacher speak. She was rubbing her hands on her slight bump of a belly. He smiled. "I already thought about it. I'm taking the job." He hung up the phone. He glanced at the clock and he realized it was almost the ending of the day. He went to the gym and saw Whitey out setting up for practice. "Coach Durham."

Whitey looked at Nathan. "Mr. Scott. Coming to tell me you can't be the new coach?"

"No, I came to ask if I could sit in and learn how to coach some of these knuckleheads."

Whitey chuckled. "You got it." About 15 minutes later, it was practice time. "Okay boys, this is Nathan Scott. He was stupid enough to turn down an NBA career to be her, coaching you idiots. So we'll let him watch a few practices. Now, suicides, now."

About five minutes later, Nathan saw Haley come in. "Hey. Where is the wheelchair. You should be using it."

"Both the doctor and me said I didn't have to. We're fine." Haley sat next to him, he wrapped his arms around her. "You are being way too protective."

"Well I want you to be safe."

Just then, Clay came in the gym. He looked over at Nathan and Haley. He say Nathan kiss Haley fully on the lips. He walked over to them. "Nathan, Haley. Nate can I speak to you in the hallway."

Nathan looked at Haley. "I'll be back, take care of the precious cargo you're caring." He got up and followed Clay into the hallway. "What Clay?"

"Pedophile. What the hell is wrong with you. She's 15!"

Nathan rolled his eyes. "She's 16. Besides, that doesn't matter."

"Of course it matters. She's a kid. She's your girlfriend's baby sister. That's gross. Piece of advice, stay the hell away from her."

"I can't do that. And I won't do that."

"Fine, but answer me this, what cargo was she carrying?"

"She's pregnant. With my child."

"Is she the one you love?" Nathan nodded. "I cannot believe you. How stupid can you be. Does Taylor know?"

"No. but she will soon?"

"Who do her parents think the father is?"

"My brother. But we'll make it right sooner. I promise."

"Did you take the job yet?"

"I did. To be closer to my family. It's what I need to do."

"Okay, I'll let them know, but I still feel like you should think it through."

"I have. But I need your help."
