Haley awoke to Nathan tracing patterns into her skin with his fingers. She sighed happily, just reminiscing about the past several hours.
"Are you awake?" he asked when he felt her stir.
"Yeah. That feels nice." she said smiling.
"That's good. So while I really don't want to change the atmosphere in here, but I think we should discuss everything." he said softly.
"What exactly is everything?" she asked.
"Well where we are going now? With us and the baby. And everything." he said.
"Oh." she answered unsure.
"Yeah. What do you want out of us? You already know that you cant break up with me again, because I wont allow it." he said smirking slightly.
"I don't know. I want us to be together, ,but I really don't think I'm ready for marriage or anything like that." she explained.
"Okay, although I think we should consider marriage." he input.
"I don't want to get married. I'm not anywhere near ready." she said.
"But we are having a baby, we should be married." he said.
"If you impregnated anyone else, would you marry them?" she asked.
"Probably not. Its just because I love you. I want you to be my wife." he said.
"I'm not ready for that step yet. I need to get to know myself before I change my whole identity." she said.
"Fine. So where does that leave us?" he asked.
"As us. It doesn't change anything for me. I love you, and someday I will want to get married. Just not right now.
"Just not right now. What do you want right now?" he asked.
"I don't know." she said sensing that he had changed the subject, since he was moving ever so closer to her, which was quite an accomplishment with him already pressed firmly along the length of her.
"I know what I want." he said, kissing a trail from her lips to her neck.
"I do to. I want breakfast." she said laughing at Nathan's reaction.
"You seriously want breakfast right now?" he asked incredulously.
"Hello? Pregnant woman, with cravings. I want breakfast. I'm hungry, and before you say it. I'm not hungry for you." she said throwing her legs over the side of the bed.
"Fine." he said tossing her a shirt to wear.
"Have I told you lately how hot you look in my clothes?" he asked.
"Right now. But just wait until I'm huge, and ugly and fat." she said wincing, noticing that already she's beginning to put on a little weight.
"You'll look beautiful no matter how big you get. Because think of it this way, the bigger you get, the bigger our babies gonna be." he told her kissing her softly.
"True. That doesn't make getting fat any easier though. But I love you for trying to assure me." she said.
"That's what I'm here for." he said shooting her a million dollar smile.
"Now you are to get me breakfast. Something good." she told him and followed him out of the room. They walked into the kitchen to find Deb sitting at the kitchen table.
"Mom? I didn't know you were home." Nathan said shocked to see his mom at the kitchen table.
"I was home last night." she said staring at the two teenagers.
"Oh my God. I'm so sorry Mrs. Scott." Haley said hiding her face in Nathan's t shirt.
"Haley its fine. I'm just happy the two of you are back together. It's the best thing for the baby." she told them.
"You know about the baby?" Haley asked.
"Yeah Nathan told me the day you broke up with him. I'm just happy you are back together. And if what I heard last night is any indication. You two are really back together." she said smirking.
"Oh my God." Haley said turning a deep shade of red.
"Now do you want breakfast? I made waffles." Deb said.
"Ooh waffles. That's what I'm craving. I am really happy you are here because I am sure Nathan is incapable of making them." Haley said sneaking a smirk at her boyfriend.
"No he definitely isn't. Now grab a plate and enjoy." Deb instructed the two teenagers. The three of them enjoyed a nice quiet breakfast, until a deep booming voice filled the air.
"I'm home." Dan Scott called. Deb plastered a smile on her face and went out to greet her husband.
"Where is my son? We have to practice." Dan boomed. Haley rubbed Nathan's arm reassuringly. She had seen what Dan's influence could do to Nathan.
He's in the kitchen" Deb said reluctantly.
"Nathan! Get outside now. We have to practice for the scouts." he called.
"I cant right now Dad." Nathan said when Dan came into view.
"Ah. Who is this?" Dan asked when he saw Haley sitting at the table wearing Nathan's shirt.
"This is Haley. My girlfriend." Nathan said. Haley sent him an assuring smile.
"Well nice to meet you Haley." Dan said sarcastically.
"Don't be like that Dad. You wont like this one bit Dad, but I'm in love with Haley." Nathan told Dan.
"I want to talk to you outside Nathan." Dan said leaving no room for argument. Nathan got up and followed Dan outside reluctantly.
"Nathan what the hell are you playing at? Falling in love? That'll just ruin any chance at the life you deserve." Dan yelled.
"Dad. Shut up. Okay. You are missing a very key part of information." Nathan yelled.
"Oh and what might that be?" Dan asked seething.
"First of all, basketball isn't the most important thing in the world. It's not, nor will it ever be. Yes it's a very big part of you I am, and it will always be. But Haley is also a huge part. And I know what I am about to tell you will make you happy if you let it. I know that timing sucks. But if you let it, it will change you. And you will embrace it." Nathan told him.
"What are you talking about Nathan?" Dan asked concerned.
"Haley's pregnant. We're having a baby." Nathan told Dan with a smile on his face.
"Wow." Dan said. Nathan wasn't sure if it was a good wow or a bad wow.
"Just imagine, you can teach your grandchild to play basketball. But you wont push him or her to the limit like you have me. You can spoil the child. And you will be a much better grandfather than you were a father. But if you freak out now and throw a tantrum, then you wont get any of that stuff. I will cut you out of my child's life so quickly, and definitively that you wont ever see us. You're choice." Nathan said.
"you're having a child. What about college? Not only for you, but for Haley as well. Don't you think the timing is a little off though?" Dan asked.
"Yeah. The timing is a little crazy. I mean, we're in grade 11. We're not even graduating yet and are going to have a family." Nathan said honestly.
"well you are strong. You'll make it work. Just don't give up on basketball. I'm just going to assume that basketball will remain a large part of your life, and you wont let Haley or that baby change that. I choose to believe that you are enough of an adult to make everything work." Dan explained.
"Okay one question Dad. Why are you being supportive?" Nathan asked confusion setting in.
"Because despite how I think you're stupid and making a huge mistake, I really want to be in my grandchild's life. Even my heart isn't black enough for that." Dan said smirking.
"If I would've known that all it would take would be for me to get a girl pregnant to get you to mellow, I would've done it long ago." Nathan said.
"Just don't forget about yourself through all this. Remember you're passions. Remember that basketball is a huge part of your life and keep it that way." Dan told him slapping his sons back and getting up to walk inside. Nathan sat there for a few more minutes before getting up and following Dan into the house. He found Haley and Deb sitting on the couch in the living room. Haley having changed into her jeans and a t shirt. He saw Dan take a seat on the couch across from where Haley was sitting.
"Hello Haley. I am Dan Scott. Nathan's father. It's nice to meet you." he said kindly.
"It's nice to meet you Mr Scott." she said smiling at him. Nathan released a deep breath and moved to sit next to her on the couch.
"I am happy for the two of you. Just make sure that you don't forget who each of you are when you are a family. That ruined me. I don't want the same thing to happen to my son. Nathan has his basketball. And you probably have something, just don't forget about those individual passions. I never thought I would be, but I'm excited to be a grandfather. Not happy with the timing but its okay. Welcome to the family Haley. Just know whether you and Nathan marry or not, you are part of this family." he told her.
"Thank you Mr Scott." Haley said simply.
"You're welcome Haley." he told her reaching across and squeezing her hand.
"Now I think we should plan a family get together. Like all of our family and all of Haley's. We can have it at our beach house, it will be a good opportunity to get to know each other. Since there will be a new baby in a few months. I personally would love to meet Haley's parents, and siblings. It can be a sort of celebration at this blessed news." Deb suggested, her eyes lighting up at the idea of planning a big party.
"Oh Mrs Scott that's not necessary." Haley said.
"Oh its no trouble. I've been looking for an excuse to plan a big party like this for a long time. There's never any reason to do it." she said.
"Okay. I would love to see my family again. Since most of my family lives in Charlotte and other places, it'd be nice to see them again. Right now Brooke is my family, and she always will be." Haley explained.
"You're friends with Brooke Davis?" Dan asked incredulously.
"Yeah. Have been since we were very young." Haley answered defensively.
"Really. Sorry its just that I have heard things about that girl. I didn't think you would be friends with someone so slutty." Dan said.
"Brooke is misunderstood. Right now she's in an exclusive relationship with Lucas. They're in love. Brooke helped me so much since I moved here. She was the reason I got away from Charlotte. In many ways she saved my life." Haley explained.
"How did she save your life?" Dan asked defensively, not liking that someone could hurt the mother of his grandbaby.
"Okay. Apparently I have to retell this again. It's okay. When I was living in Charlotte, I was dating Grant Henderson. He was a great boyfriend. I loved him very much. He didn't like the standstill that our relationship was in. I didn't want to go any further with him than I already did. But he was insistent. A few days before I came here, my parents were out of town visiting my brother Matt. Grant came over and attacked me. He beat and raped me, then he left. He walked out and didn't bother helping me. I seen him at school the next day, because I wouldn't skip. He acted like nothing happened. I didn't want to make a scene so I just told everyone that I fell down the stairs. It was unspoken but Grant and I were over. He just didn't see it that way. I avoided him and then I moved here. And Brooke fixed me, while Nathan fixed my heart." she told him.
"Did you tell anyone about what happened to you?" Dan asked.
"No the only people that know are my parents, Nathan, Brooke, Lucas, Peyton, Jake, my friend Lindsay, you and Deb." she told him.
"You didn't tell the cops. Or anyone that could punish him? Did your parents do anything about it?" Dan asked growing angry.
"No I told my parents to leave it alone. That it was over with." she explained.
"You cant just let him get away with it. He assaulted you. Brutally assaulted you. And you're just going to let him get away with it?" Dan asked incredulously.
"I'm sorry but I didn't want to deal with it any longer than I had to. I just wanted it over with." she said.
"It's not over with. He will have this over you until you make sure he doesn't do it to anyone else. He could do it to some other girl and it would be your fault because you didn't do anything to stop it." Dan yelled.
"What do you want me to do Mr Scott?" she asked defeated.
"I want you to let me take care of it. I will deal with Mr Henderson." Dan said seething.
"What are you going to do Dan?" Deb asked worried.
" I haven't decided. I just know that I cant let him get away with it." Dan said resolved.
