Haley woke up as frantic thoughts started gathering in her head.

Why was she still asleep? Did Jamie leave for school yet? Was Lucas taking him today?

"Hales," she heard from across the room.

Haley sat up as Luke's voice made her even more confused.

"What are you doing here?" she asked him.

"I just came to check on you, Peyton said you weren't feeling well, and…well I was just a little worried, that's all."

Haley smiled. She loved when Lucas worried about her, because she knew that no matter how things were with Nathan or anyone else, he would always be watching out for her, even if she was just a little sick.

"I'm -" Haley yawned before getting another word out. "Really tired," she finished.

"How long have you been sick?"

"I don't really know to be honest," Haley answered him.

"Look, Peyton said she'd get Jamie from school so I think you should go see a doctor. Come on, I'll take you."

"No, Luke, don't be stupid, it'll go away."

Haley was always resistant to accept help. It was one of her instincts as a tutor, someone who is always expected to know the solution to a problem. But Lucas feared for his friend's safety, especially because of the divorce. He sat down on her bed.

"Haley listen to me. I'm sure you're fine," he reassured her. "But I won't be able to sleep tonight unless I know that for a fact. So will you please just go and let me go with you so we'll both be okay?"

Luke was such a good friend sometimes that even Haley's stubborn attitude didn't work. She always ended up giving in to that warm smile and those caring hands offering to help her up and make her better. Today was no exception.

"Fine," she agreed, letting him guide her out the front door of the house and into the car.

It was only one hour later that the doctor approached the pair to reveal what had been bothering Haley. Finally, as Lucas said, they could both sleep tonight and be okay.

"Congratulations Mrs. Scott," the doctor announced. "You're pregnant."

How wrong Haley's best friend had been.
