One month later:

Haley just finished her last class of the day and she felt exhausted. She sat on her desk and took a deep breath. Gosh you need to wake up Haley. She said to herself. She had to go shopping with James after school and she could not postpone it again he had almost nothing to wear anymore. This kid is growing too fast. She thought with a smile.

She looked at her watch and decided to go and chat with Lucas for a while. She was not supposed to pick James up for another hour and one of her student was driving her crazy. She needed Lucas' help.

Haley knocked on the door and walked in. Lucas was looking at some game strategies he made.

"Hey!" He said cheerily seeing Haley sit down. "I'm glad you're there. I really needed a break." He added with a smile.

"Oh well… It's going to be a short break" said Haley smiling back. "I can't stay for too long but I really need your help" she added shaking her head. "I can't get through Mike and…and I don't know what else to do."

"I'm starting to have enough with this kid." Said Lucas sighting. "He's maybe the best player of the team but he is just so stubborn! What did he do to you?" Asked Lucas frowning.

"Well nothing actually." Said Haley is despair. "He is doing nothing at all! I can't even get him to do one simple thing it's like….it's like he doesn't care about his future."

"Did you try to talk to him? Maybe he'd be more receptive with you". Said Lucas nicely. "You know we had our clashes and I don't think he'll listen to me."

"I tried! I don't even know how many times but the only thing he says it's that he is going to be an all-star player and that he doesn't need English to play in NBA." Haley sighed. "I want him to understand that it's good to have a dream but it's not enough. I mean we're both really well aware that dreams don't always become a reality."

Lucas nodded. "You really want to save him huh?"

"I really do!" Said Haley sadly. "I don't know why really but…but I really want him to be able to face this world how he is supposed to."

"I know why you want to save him Hales. Mike is …What Nathan used to be." Lucas said with a nice smile.

"I….I" said Haley frowning. "Maybe you're right." She finally admitted.

"You know Haley…Only one person in this town will be able to show him the harsh truth." Said Lucas twirling a pen. "Someone who had the same aspirations and who lost them." Added Lucas sadly.

"Nathan…" Said Haley nodding. "I thought about that too but I don't want him to go down this memory lane again. He is finally the Nathan Scott I always loved and I don't want to lose him again."

"I know Hales…I know." Said Lucas standing up. "I had an idea about a week ago Hales and it's just obsessing me." Added Lucas sitting in the chair beside Haley. "Skills is quitting and…"

"Skills is quitting??" Said Haley in disbelieve. "Why is that?"

"Oh! You didn't know?! Well He is back together with Bevin and they're going to get married." Said Lucas smiling. "He is going back to New York to be with her and I think he has a coaching opportunity there."

"Aww… I'm so pleased for them" said Haley sincerely.

"Anyway... I was thinking of proposing the job of assistant coach to Nathan." Said Lucas seriously." I know it's far from being his dream but he'd still have to deal with the basketball world. I want to have your honest opinion before asking him because let's face it…This decision will affect your life too." Said Lucas nicely taking her hand.

"I don't know what to say Luke." Said Haley who didn't expect such a revelation. "I mean Nathan is doing pretty well, his walking is back to normal even if he is a bit stiff sometime." She smiled. "You know he is making a lot of effort to be the perfect husband and the perfect father but I'm sure he's sad to stay at home all day long. Maybe…maybe it's a good idea." She stopped for a while, Lucas could see she was thinking. "Well yeah…it's a great idea actually but please Luke don't force him okay?" Asked Haley with a begging tone." I…I think it's a good idea but I don't know what he is going to think about it."

"Don't worry Hales, I'll go slowly on him" added Lucas laughing.

"Okay Luke" said Haley looking at her watch. "I really need to go now." She added yawning. "I'm sorry I'm just so tired and I even don't know why." Said Haley embarrassed.

Lucas put a hand on her forehead. "I have to say that you don't look that well. I think you should go to see a doctor before you get the flu or something." He added with concern.

"I will" said Haley standing up. "Thanks Luke."

"You better do girl!" Said Lucas knowing Haley aversion for hospitals. "I'll check with Nate tomorrow and if you didn't….I'll kick you butt." Said Lucas in mock anger.

"Oh wow!! Don't worry I'll do it daddy." She added leaving his office.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Haley took James shopping and went home as fast as she could because she invited Brooke for dinner tonight. Brooke didn't leave Tree Hill since she came last month.

Haley remembered perfectly what Brooke told her. New York city and her brand took all the innocence and the fun and all the joy she had inside. She decided to stay there and bought a nice house just near the beach. She wanted to be the cheery Brooke again. As she said herself: « I can run the company from here and I pay them a lot to do it for me there. » Haley could remember laughing making some Bolognese pasta.

Haley was slicing onions when she felt Nathan's strong arms around her waist. He tenderly kissed her neck.

"Hummm I like that!" Said Haley smiling.

"That's great because I love doing it." Said Nathan kissing her again.

"Well you better stop for now because if you don't well…we won't have anything for dinner tonight." Added Haley laughing.

"Okay I'll stop." Said Nathan in mock hurt "but…I'll start again tonight" he added winking.

"Yeah that's a great plan. By the way can you drive Jamie to school tomorrow? I've got a doctor appointment quite early."

"Of course" Said Nathan. "I'm glad you finally decided to see the doctor because I don't want you sick and in bed for a week well….actually yeah I do want you in bed for a week but not sick!" Added Nathan cheekily.

Haley just laugh and shook her head.

The dinner went pretty well. They jokes and laughed a lot.

Brooke felt really good there with Haley and Nathan. She could see in their eyes how much they loved each other. They love each other even more than before! Thought Brooke.

Nathan went to put James in bed.

"They're so cute together". Said Brooke pointing at Nathan lifting James from the floor.

"I know" said Haley with a big smile. "I'm so happy that Nathan turned his life around. I didn't believe in it anymore."

"You know that love can make miracles." Said Brooke nicely. "And I know you Haley you're always been keen on forgiveness." Added Brooke looking at her cup of coffee.

"Are we still talking about Nathan?" Asked Haley frowning.

"Maybe not…" said Brooke with a guilty smile.

Haley sighed. "I don't want to talk about her Brooke and you know it."

"I know…I know but she is a mess right now. She is living with me you know and I can see she misses you very much." Added Brooke sadly.

"I missed her too but she left me without word. I guess I just stopped missing her a long time ago." Said Haley slightly irritated. "She knew I would've stand by her whatever the decisions she took but she just left. She didn't care about me for almost two years did she? So…can you give me one good reason for me to care about her?"

"Because you are Haley James-Scott". Said Brooke simply. "You're the nicest most forgiving person I know and because you're too angry against her not to care." Added Brooke.

Haley was speechless, she didn't expect such an answer.

"Anyway…." Said Brooke looking at her watch. "I need to go it's quite late already and you seem tired. Thanks for the lovely dinner. I'll see you tomorrow." Brooke added hugging Haley.

"I'm glad you're back" Said Haley sincerely.

"I'm glad to be back" added Brooke with emotion.

Haley was in the Doctor Hamilton office. He decided to run some test in order to rule out any kind of abnormality in her blood. He has been her doctor since she was pregnant with James and he always been really protective of her.

He came back about 30 minutes later.

"So Haley I've got the results of your test and well…" Said the doctor sitting down.

"There is nothing wrong right?" Asked Haley worried by the look in the doctor face.

"No…I mean not necessarily but... you're pregnant."

"I…what?" Said Haley in shock. "I can't be pregnant. You told me I would not be able to get pregnant again." Said Haley in disbelieve.

"We said that you probably won't get pregnant again Haley. I ran the test twice. I'm positive you are pregnant." He added seriously.

What is going to happen? How Haley is going to react once she realizes? Why her pregnancy could be a problem? You'll find out in next chapter. :-)
