Haley paid for the item she was buying and went to the hotel. She had a feeling that she was being followed but she couldn't be sure she was. She met up with Alex and they went to her hotel room.

"Is Manny okay?" Haley asked n the elevator.

"He's fine. He's watching television. Besides, I told him that he could call mommy if he needed anything."

"Okay." Haley said. She checked her watch and sighed. She was really nervous. She hoped to god that Nathan wasn't the father. And if he was, she had no clue what she would do.

Alex stopped the elevator when she saw Haley's face. "I know what you must be thinking, but it's gonna be okay. I know that in my heart that Manny is not Nathan's; at least I hope not."

"I hope not too." Haley muttered to herself. As soon as she saw Manny, she saw Nathan. She then took Alex into the bathroom and closed the door behind her. "Alex, why are we even doing this? Manny looks exactly like Nathan. How can you say to me that Manny is not Nathan's son?"

Alex shrugged. "I didn't want to tell Nathan that he's a dad. And I also didn't want to tell you he is a dad. I know how you feel about Nathan."

Haley didn't say anything. She just nodded and looked down at the floor. She leaned on the sink and just stared out into the air. "How do I feel about Nathan?"

"You love him. You love him. You always will. Nathan loves you too."

"Can we not talk about this anymore? I'd like to meet Manny." Haley said. She opened the door and Alex followed her to the bedroom/ living room.

"Hey sweetie." Alex said getting down on her knees. "This is mommy's new friend, Haley. Haley is daddy's soon-to-be-wife."

"Hi Haley." Manny said. "You're really pretty." Haley just rolled her eyes. That was Nathan's charm; she was sure.

"Well thank you Manny. You're very sweet." Haley gave him a kiss on the cheek. "You're gonna be a little heartbreaker someday, Man." Haley messed up his hair a bit and smiled. She turned to Alex. "He's Nathan's alright. I don't think we really need a paternity test; now do we?"

Alex just gave a sarcastic smile. "I guess not."

Haley shook her head and sat on the bed. "I don't believe this. The man that I love, the man I thought I knew; I don't know him?"

The next day, Haley decided to talk to Peyton and Jake. She wanted to talk to a stable couple whom she respects. "So, that's the whole story. I told Lucas this morning and Brooke last night."

Jake came into the dining room where the two girls were. "That's horrible. What are you gonna do?" He asked Haley.

"Tell him. Tell him that he's a dad and that I'm still in love with him. I know he'll forgive me. We have a lot to discuss and it might take all night to get everything out. There will be lots of emotions thrown in the air."

Peyton grabbed Haley's hand. "Are you sure you want to do this? You don't have to."

Haley nodded. "Yes, I do. I have to do it. If not, I might regret it."

Brooke handed Haley her overnight bag. "Haley, are you planning on sleeping with him?" She didn't want Haley doing something she would regret.

Haley shook her head. "No. I just don't know how long this will be. Given, that we have too much to discuss."

"Right." Brooke said. "So, spending the whole night with the ex will not help the situation at hand."

"I just need to talk to him about his son and the fact that he has one he doesn't know about. And I need to talk about maybe getting back together."

Brooke jumped up and gasped. "You're getting married. I knew it."

"I am not getting married." Haley yelled. "I am not getting married. We're just gonna talk."

"Okay." Brooke said. "Okay. Good look."

"Thanks." Haley said. Once she had a few clothing items, she was on her way. "Wish me luck."

"Good luck." Brooke said. She counted to ten and then bolted out the door. She wanted to hear them and Peyton and Jake's were right next door.

"Hi." Nathan said as soon as he opened the door. He was surprised Haley was here. He looked down and saw she had a suitcase. "Come on in."

"We need to talk." Haley said coming in.

"What about?"

"Us and other things." Haley put down her things and hopped up on the counter. "I'm angry with you. And that's why I broke things off."

"Why are you so angry with me?"

"You just ran off after you saw Grant and me. And that's not right. If we're ever going to share our lives together, we need to communicate."

"You mean we're still getting married?"

"You are completely overlooking what I'm saying; and yes I would still like to get married. But before we do that, we have to get through this talk. So I have a question; why didn't you stay. How come you didn't talk or ask questions?"

"I don't know. I was scared I guess." Nathan said. He moved onto leaning on the arm of the chair. "I mean I thought you were moving on to someone who could pay your way or something and you didn't want me anymore."

"Of course I want you." Haley hopped down off the counter and she started walking over to Nathan. "And whether or not I do want you is not what's at stake in our relationship. I love Nathan Scott. And I always will. But I— you can't trust me to be honest with you and because of that, we've hit a brick wall."

"I don't care, I will kick this wall down if it meant saving you." Nathan pleaded. He grabbed hold of Haley's shoulders. "I do trust you. I was just scared that Grant was using his money to overpower you and us and what we have and what we will have."

"I don't know what to say." Haley backed away and decided to plop down on the couch and put her feet up on the coffee table. "I met Alex. Brooke filled me in on your past and I'm okay with part of it." Haley smiled and turned to Nathan. "I do want to marry you. I really do. But there's something you need to do before we do anything else."

"What is it?" Nathan asked. "I'll do anything." And he meant it.

"You need to meet your son."

"I don't have a son." Haley nodded. "I do?"

"You didn't know it. You and Alex have a five year old son named Manny. He's adorable and looks just like his daddy."

"Manny Scott?" Nathan asked.

Haley just scoffed and shook her head. "I don't think his last name is Scott, but nice try."

Nathan looked down and back up into Haley's eyes. "We really have a lot to get through."

Haley nodded. "Yeah, but we'll through it together." Haley smiled and the two joined hands. "For better or worse right?"
