Chapter 10. Clear water troubled
"So, Before you start telling why you slept with my sister, and that you love me and that it totally wasn't affectionate, I would like to remind you that I caught you and that that sight, makes it impossible for me to see past what happened." I explained to Clay when I entered the Starbucks.
Clay blinked and motioned for me to sit down. "I understand, you feel that way... I would probably have a problem with it too." I frowned. "What me and Taylor?" He chuckled. "No you and Nathan I would totally have don't problem with you and Taylor.."
I rolled my eyes could have known.
The only reason I came was to tell him that I wanted him to stop calling, because what he did was wrong and it disgusted me, but his remark reminded me of the fact that what I was doing was just as wrong. In fact it was worse since Taylor was my sister and Nathan my brother-in-law.
"Whatever, Stop calling. Stop calling my cell, stop called the home line. We're done." Since I hadn't bothered to sit down, I just turned around and walked out.
Clay did me a favour, because he gave me the excuse I needed to break up with him. But there was still Taylor and since I flipped out when Nathan wanted to tell her he knew, we had silently agreed to this.. affaire.
Something we both didn't want, because we just wanted to be together. But then I didn't want Taylor to know about this and then I felt guilty about stealing her husband so then he couldn't break up with her, or divorce whatever... Sigh.
Ugh Life Sucks and then you die. So true.
When I got home Nathan was waiting for me with his "good news", which was in fact just that he had delivered Jasper at his play date. "Mhh, So what are you thinking?" He whispered in my ear before moving his lips back the my neck. "Nathan stop it."I giggled. "What is Taylor going to think when I have a hickey? That Clay and I had a last make out session?" He captured my lips with his and slipped his hands under my shirt. "Something like that." He murmured .
I pulled away and went outside, to the patio and the pool. "So what were you thinking Ball boy?" I grinned. In response to that he checked me out from head to toe. I frowned. What was the boy thinking? I had a hard time figuring out what was going on in that boy's head.
"Well I was thinking, well no.. never mind." He said shrugging, obviously trying to get me do something I didn't want to do. "What?" I asked lifting an eyebrow.
"Nothing just..." He trailed off and his eyes zoned in on something behind me. Out of nowhere he started running at me and we both flew through the air landing in the pool. "Nathan!" I exclaimed and splashed him with water and started swimming to the side. "Oh come on Hales, Have a swim!" Nathan teased grinning. "Oh, but I am having a swim. I'm swimming all the way to the side." I replied mocking. "Then.. You'll. Have. To. Swim. A little. Faster." He said grabbing my ankle, pulling me back. 'WHAA! Nathan." I shrieked. "Shhh." He said pulling me into his arms.
I melted into his embrace, laying my head back on his shoulder. He kissed my neck and shoulder, while he held me tight in his arms. I could live off that. It felt so good to be there. At some point I just forgot the world around us. He leaned his back to the side of the pool, still holding me tight wrapped in his arms, enjoying to sun. Even though it was too cold for real swimming I wasn't cold. His embrace kept me warm. He stopped kissing my neck a while ago, but that didn't bother me. This kind of proved what I needed to know all along. That we were more than just sex, that our affaire was more than lust. That we actually had a emotional connection.
"What are you thinking Hales?" He whispered. I smiled. "I was thinking.. that I'm happy." When I saw the sun slowly go down the sky. 'I am also thinking that we have to get out." He whined; "You're always so negative..." I turned around in his embrace, finally noticing how cold I was. "I'm not negative, I'm realistic. It's getting late, we've been here almost all day. And as much as I'd like to spend another couple of hours in here with you." I wrapped my arms around his neck and reached up to kiss him. "You're still married to Taylor, whose going to come home within the hour.. I guess." I smiled put my hands on his shoulders and pushed myself out of the pool. When I sat on the side of the pool I kissed his head and got up.
"Are you coming, it's not like I'm going to get out of these clothes alone." I chuckled, making my way inside and up the staircase. When I reached my bedroom and wanted to close the door, Nathan came in. "Hi." I smiled and continued to my bathroom. "Any chance you'd want to join me in the shower? It's only 4 'O clock." I kinked an eyebrow and started to take off my wet clothes. "Sure, if you wish." He grinned. Before I got my hands on the hem of my shirt to take it off, he hands were there pulling my shirt over my head. I giggled and leaned back into him.
Unfortunately he was just as wet as I was so I pulled back. "Oh take off those clothes." I pushed down my pants and threw them in the laundry basket. Nathan did the same while I turned on the shower. Stepping in his hands were on my waist and he was right behind me.
I moaned softly when the hot water ran over my skin. "Mmh, Oh god Hales," Nathan gripped my arms and turned me around, crashing his lip to mine. Slipping his tongue into my mouth, he pushed me into the shower wall. "Nathan." I gasped for I air.
Being naked in the shower with him was so good. So sensual. I never thought that I'd be doing this and be more than okay with it.
But then, when I came to New York. I came for a place to live, not for a job as Jaspers nanny. Let alone to be my brother-in-law's mistress. But I've been over that one way to often.
Nathan's hands soaping and washing my whole body, that was occupying my mind much and much more. I stepped away from the wall and under the immediate beam, washing off all soap.
"Nathan. If I could I'd stay like this forever, but you have to go." I spoke placing my hands to cup his face. I pulled him closed and pressed a urgent kiss on his lips. After that he stepped out of the shower, wrapped himself into a towel and left my bathroom, without a word.
I finished my shower and got dressed.
When I returned downstairs Nathan was already downstairs watching TV and Taylor was home. Jasper would stay for dinner at his play date, so it would be a awkward dinner.
Two months! It had been two months since the ball at the Scott mansion. And as absurd as it sounded I had been sleeping with my brother-in-law since. No, I had known to be in love with my brother-in-law ever since, which only sounds even more absurd.
But in my life that wasn't enough. Being in love and in a affair with Nathan was everything and yet it was nothing, because every day I longed to be with him for real. For him to divorce my sister.
But today was a turnaround in my dream. Today Brooke and I had stepped into the drugstore and out with a pregnancy test, or five. Today I sat in Brooke's bathroom, taking a pregnancy test, or five.
Today I found out I was pregnant, with my Brother-in-law's child.
"Brooke.." I had come out of the bathroom with all five test in my hand. Every single one of them had been positive. "I'm pregnant..." I sobbed. I had crashed down on her. She had been holding me in her arms letting me cry.
It had felt like my world came crushing down on me.
Now I was in my car on my way back home. Brooke had convinced me to tell Nathan because he had to know. After arguing with Brooke about this she had insisted on driving me home.
"Brooke will you go with me to the doctor tomorrow?" I asked her, my sight still blurry with tears.
"Are you sure you don't want Nathan to come?" I shook my head bewildered. "No, I don't want to tell him until I'm sure." Not bothering to really move my lips, I whispered; "What am I going to do now Brooke.
"You have to tell him and talk about what to do Haley. I can't answer it for you. Either you have it and say it's Clay's or you tell Taylor about you and Nathan." Her eyes turned back to the road and then back to me. "Or.. you have a abortion." I gulped. Even though I wasn't sure there was a baby, it already felt like there was a little baby.
Home I retreated to my room immediately, waiting out the time Brooke would pick me up in the morning for my appointment.
When Taylor left for her work in the morning, I carefully came downstairs, thinking I should eat something before leaving. "Good morning beautiful." Nathan grinned as I descended to stairs.
I returned a smile, but I was quite sure it didn't completely reach my eyes. "Good morning handsome." Nathan's smile faltered and he got up to meet me. "What's wrong Hales?"
He pulled me in his arms and I broke down sobbing. "Hales!" he urged me. The pain in my eyes reflected in his. "I'm pregnant." I sobbed. Nathan's eyes zoned out. I put my hand on his face, forcing him to look at me. "Nathan? Say something Nathan." I begged him. This was the last thing I had considered in my plans. That Nathan might not want the baby. It just hadn't entered my mind, not once!
"Nathan!?" I was on the edge of a break down. "Are you sure?" Nathan gripped my wrists. "Are you 100% sure!" He demanded. I walked away to the kitchen to make myself breakfast. "Haley!"
"I did five take home tests yesterday with Brooke. They were all positive." I looked back into Nathan's eyes. Piercing blue eyes that had conquered my heart. "Hales, I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell at you." He hugged me tightly. I nuzzled into his chest as his arms wrapped around me.
A rapid knock on the door was followed be Brooke who entered the room. "oh love did you tell him?" Brooke exclaimed when she saw my red puffy eyes.
I nodded. "Nate I came to take her to the doctor, but if you want to take her...?"
I shook my head fiercely. 'No, Nathan. You can't. Have you got any idea what would happen when we were seen together?" Nathan nodded. He wanted to take me, I could see that, but he also understood the difficulties.
He kissed my cheek and let me go. I wiped my eyes and put on my coat. I blew a kiss to Nathan before closing the door behind me.
On the way there kept talking to me about it being a good thing, and that I loved Jasper so much and that I now would have my own baby. Stepping into the doctor's office I said; "And who am I going say is the father?" Brooke inhaled to answer, but then stopped. "Hmm good question." she smiled weakly.
We entered the waiting room . People looked up from their magazines but turned their attention back to it when they had seen us. I must have looked weird to these women, all red puffy eyes. These women looked more than thrilled to have a baby.
It wasn't like I didn't want a baby, it was just that having a baby was going to ruin my life as it was. As I knew it, as I liked it. That was all, because if I was honest, I knew that having a baby, with the man I loved was what scared me. It was that that man was married to my sister.
"Miss James?"
Brooke took my hand and we made our way inside. "So Miss James, you think you're pregnant?" The doctor asked me. I nodded. I felt like a ten year old getting third degree to confess something. "You took a home pregnancy test?" I nodded again.
"Well let's take a sonogram and see how far along you are."
I lay back on the table and the doctor pulled up the machine.
I unbuttoned my jeans and pulled up my shirt, before the doctor putted the gel on my tummy.
She moved the thing over my tummy for awhile before a sound made her stop her hand and she said: "This is your baby's heartbeat and here.." she pointed on the screen. ".. You can see the baby."
I swallowed the lump in my throat and Brooke squeezed my hand. "How long..?" I stammered. "how far along am I?"
the doctor looked at the screen and pressed a button on the thing. "Uh, I'd say based on this sonogram that the baby is about 8 to 9 weeks old. Two months." Brooke eyed me and I nodded. "You want a print of this?" She asked. I nodded again and the doctor went to print it for me.
When we left the doctor's office with the sonogram Brooke said: "It's Nathan's?"
I looked at her and nodded. 'Yes, Clay and I hadn't slept together in two weeks before we broke up and ball is exactly 9 weeks ago."
When we returned home, I said goodbye to Brooke. I needed to talk to Nathan alone.
But when I opened the door, Taylor was home and she was talking to Nathan. "Nate please? I want to make our family official." She turned to looked at me. 'What happened to you?" she sneered.
"I didn't sleep so well." I shrugged, knowing the irony behind my words. 'Oh." She shrugged.
"Anyway what I was saying Nathan. Please? I want our family to be more than just our marriage. I want a baby with you." I almost choked and clutched my hands at my stomach. "I told you Taylor, you barely have time for Jasper. Did you want to let Haley take care of this one too?"
"No, I want to start working less and let Haley go, have our own real little family. I love you Nathan."
Almost hyperventilating I stumbled up the stairs.
"Taylor, this was a business deal, our marriage let's keep it that way. I don't want your baby." I collapsed at the top of the stairs. "My baby or any baby Nathan?" She sounded pissed.
"Your baby." He replied plainly. "Then why did you marry me? Huh if you do want babies but not with me? You planning on a divorce? It would be nice to let me know don't you think?"
I tried to get up and stumbled to my bedroom. I couldn't belief what I was hearing! Taylor how wanted More babies! She had cursed the guy who got her pregnant in the first place!
I heard a door shut with an enormous bang and figured Taylor had left. A little later Nathan knocked on my door and entered. "Hi love. How did it go at the doctor?" He sat down on my bed.
"Fine." I sobbed silently. I pulled the sonogram from my purse. "It's nine weeks old." I stated, showing him the sonogram. He took my face and captured my lips in a fierce kiss. "I love you Haley. We're going to find a way out. That's a promise."
Isn't it a lovely ending? I know perfect.. if there's a lot of typos in here it's because have been writing in the late hours so I wasn't so .. on top of my game.. so to speak,
Anyway REVIEW!
Love philine
