Later that night, Nathan came over, knowing full well that Haley would be sleeping as well as her parents. Much to his surprise Taylor was outside smoking. "Smoking is bad for you."
"It's bad for Haley. I can smoke all I want."
"Listen I just came to break up with you." Taylor smiled up at Nathan. "What's the smile for?"
"I knew this was coming. I just didn't think it would take this long."
"Yeah, well bye."
"I got a job. Radio DJ."
"Good for you. Maybe I'll catch you sometime."
The next day at school, Haley and Brooke were in the library doing some homework they had due when Brooke's partner showed up. "Hey Brooke. Sorry I'm late. I had to make up a test."
"No problem. You remember Haley."
"Yes I do. Hey Haley."
"Joe. What's up?"
"Nothing."
"I have to get a book. Haley can you check over my math?"
Haley nodded and Joe sat down. "Haley can I trust you?"
"As much as you can trust a pregnant girl."
"Yeah. That doesn't really matter." Joe leaned in to Haley and kissed her.
Haley pushed away and got up. "Joe, what the hell?"
"I thought you wanted…."
"I'm pregnant. What would make you think it's okay to kiss me?"
"Didn't your sister's boyfriend get you pregnant?" Haley's eyes glared at him. "Yeah, I went there."
"I least I've had sex. Virgin Boy." Haley just got up and left. She found Lucas and Peyton in the gym. Peyton was watching Lucas shoot hoops. "Hey guys. Can someone take me home."
"Haley!" Brooke came rushing in the gym. "Haley. Joey told me you asked him to have sex with you? Would it be the other way around?"
"No. He just kissed me. I pulled away though. And I called him 'virgin boy'."
"Why?"
"He used the fact that Nathan is the father against me." Haley put her hands on her stomach. "She didn't need to hear that."
"Who didn't need to hear that?" Brooke asked.
Haley smirked at Brooke. "Nice try. But neither of you will know until little T.S.S. is born."
"I have some initials to crack."
At home, Haley and her parents were at home when Haley's brother Matt came back home. "Hey family." He came in and sat next to Haley. "Preggers."
Haley rolled her eyes. "Fatty." Haley patted her brother's stomach. "Don't call me preggers ever again. Your little niece doesn't like that."
"It's a girl?" Haley nodded. "Sorry."
"That's okay." Haley looked at the door when it rang. The door opened and Nathan came in.
Matt smiled at him. "Sup Nate. What's going on? Taylor isn't here."
"She's at her new job. We'll be listening to it. Sit next to me." Nathan did. He sat between Haley and Matt. Haley put her feet on top of Nathan. He began to rub them. "Thank you."
"No problem Hales."
About a minute later, there was a voice filling the room.
"So we have a new girl here with us. Her name is Taylor James. Taylor, how are you?"
"I'm great. And please call me Tay. It's my nickname. How are you?"
"I'm great. My wife and I just celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary."
"Wow, my parents have been married about thirty-three years. And for some reason, I don't think I'll even have what they have."
"Okay, enough sappy talk. Here is Ben Lee's Begin."
Haley got up and headed towards the kitchen. She grabbed some ice cream and dug in. Haley looked up and saw Nathan before her. "Do you ever think we'll ever have thirty-three years?"
"Sure. I know we will."
"I think the song is almost over." They returned to the room and sat down.
"And we're back with Taylor James. And my son just came in. now tell the radio people Jack, how old are you?"
"I'm nine. How old are you Taylor?" All you heard is laughter.
"Jackie, there is two things you never ask a girl. One, you never ask her abought her weight, and two, you don't ask about her age. Got it?"
"Got it Taylor. Do you have any kids?"
"No, but my sister is pregnant. And I feel a little jealous."
"Why's that?"
"She's sixteen. And I'm older and I haven't really been feeling the love with my boyfriend. He's taking more care of Haley than me."
"She needs him more. So in honor of needing people, let's listen to Innocence by Avril Lavigne."
When Taylor came home, she saw Nathan and got very angry. "What the hell is he doing here?" You could tell she was very angry.
Lydia just looked at her daughter with gleeful eyes. "Sweetie, you did very good." She went to hug her daughter. "And your boyfriend came to support you."
"What boyfriend. He dumped me yesterday."
All of a sudden there was a knock at the door. It was Lucas. "Hey guys. What's going on?"
Haley looked at Nathan and back at Lucas. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"I really don't know. Nathan told me to come here." Lucas headed behind the couch next to Taylor. "What's going on?"
Nathan got up and stood in front of everyone. "Listen, I know that you all think that Lucas is the father of Haley's baby."
Matt turned to Lucas. "You slept with my sister? Why would you sleep with my sister? What the hell is wrong with you that you would take advantage of your best friend like that? You need help."
"Don't blame Luke. He's not the father."
Jimmy looked over at Haley. "Haley, who is the real father? Who did you sleep with?"
Haley just looked at Nathan. "It was me." Everyone looked at Nathan.
"You finally admitted it." Everyone now looked at Taylor. "And how long did I take? Four or five months? That's why you dumped me. You're in love with my sister."
"You knew?" Nathan looked at everyone. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was waiting for you two to tell me. And it's taken so long for you to admit it."
"How long have you known?"
"Since the first sonogram. You didn't know I was watching you two. Saying things like, "that's our child", "I love you", and my absolute favorite was "do you remember the night we conceived him or her, the most amazing night of my life"."
"We didn't know you were there."
"I'll bet."
Matt stood up, ready to punch him. But his father stopped him. "Mathew James. It's okay." Jimmy began walking towards Nathan. "I have a few words of advice for you, get the hell out of here. Never come back. And if you do, I'm calling the cops."
Nathan looked very scared. "Can I just ask Haley one thing?"
Lydia put her hand on her husband's shoulder. "Jim, let him ask her, then he'll leave."
"Thank you Mrs. James." Nathan side stepped Jimmy and walked up to Haley who was now standing up. He got down on one knee. He pulled out a tiny box from his pocket. He opened it up. "Haley."
Jimmy started to yell. "What the hell are you doing?!!!!!!"
"Will you marry me?"
Haley gasped. She then smiled. "I would love to marry you." Nathan put the ring on her finger and Haley sat on his lap and kissed him. "God, I love you." Haley got up. "You should go." When Nathan left, Haley turned to Luke. "Luke, leave too." Lucas left also and Haley turned to her family. "I'm going to marry Nathan. Whether you like it or not." With that, Haley left to her room.
