A/N: I wanted to say that this chapter is setting up for for future events that are soon to come. Please continue to review because I didn't get very many on my last chapter!
The weekend went by rather quickly and it was now Monday morning. Nathan and Haley had agreed to keep the pregnancy thing a secret for now. Brooke and Luke were told to keep their mouths shut as well. It was now lunch and Haley went and sat down next to Brooke.
Luke and Nathan walked up a few minutes later and each gave their girlfriend a kiss on the cheek before sitting down. They were in the middle of a conversation when Rachel walked up. "Nate, I was wondering if you could give me a ride home. I've been feeling a little nauseous and I wanna go home," she whined.
Brooke and Haley just looked over at each other and rolled their eyes. "I guess I can," Nathan replied, "I'll be back in a little while," giving Haley a kiss on the cheek.
Rachel noticed this and glared at her. She covered it up when Nathan looked up at her though. The two of them walked out to his car before Rachel asked, "So you and Haley seem cozy again. Are you back together?"
"Why do you care Rachel? Look I never agreed to become your boyfriend again since you are having our child. I love Haley and I'm with her, not you. I'll help you with whatever you need concerning the baby, but we are no longer anything romantically. Do you understand?" he responded.
"You know Nathan, for a second, I was fooled. I was beginning to think that I actually wanted to be with you, but you are so hung up on that bitch you call a girlfriend to even see what's right in front of you. So you know what, forget trying to help me, I never wanted this baby. And considering you don't either, don't bother talking to me anymore," she yelled.
Nathan didn't know what to say. She jumped out of the car and slammed the door before he could say anything. He drove back to school confused on what just happened. Once at school, there were a few minutes left of lunch left, so he joined his friends. Haley could tell by his expression that something was up, but didn't press the matter. She would ask him about it later.
After school, Haley waited outside the field house for Nathan. Brooke came up and started talking with her before the two boys walked out. Nathan and Haley waved bye to their friends before walking to his car. "So what happened earlier with Rachel?" she wondered.
"She told me not to talk to her anymore since I'm with you. She had asked if we were together and I told her yes because I loved you not her. She didn't take that very well and started yelling at me," he answered.
"I'm sorry baby," she said giving his hand a squeeze.
"It's not your fault that I'm head over heels for you. I'm just lucky to have you, and considering you are going to have my baby, I get worked up even more," he said with a smirk.
"Simmer down boy. Otherwise my hormones will kick in and I won't be able to control myself," she joked.
Nathan laughed before adding, "For the record, I wouldn't complain."
Haley hit him in the arm before leaning over and whispering in his ear, "That's too bad for you."
"Tease," he responded as Haley began laughing.
The next day at school Rachel was on her way to her locker when she saw Haley and Nathan from a distance heading to class. She quickly went into the bathroom to avoid them seeing her. The bell had just rung, but she didn't care. She lit up a cigarette before dialing a familiar number, "Hey it seems my plans have changed. I won't be needing the baby bump anymore. Instead, could you do me a favor and come to town? I'm sure Haley would love to see you."
Rachel finished her cigarette before walking out of the bathroom. Meanwhile, Brooke quietly exited one of the stalls and headed to class. She had heard the whole conversation, but was curious who Rachel had been talking to and how did they know Haley. Brooke knew she had to do some more investigating, but was beginning to think things were about to get ugly.
Lunch came sooner than expected, but Brooke was still thinking about what had happened earlier. She saw Haley walking towards her, but decided to keep the information she learned quiet for now. The truth would come out soon anyway, especially now that Brooke was almost positive Rachel was not pregnant. She simply just shoved the information to the side and enjoyed lunch with her friends.
A/N: I know I kinda left this chapter with a cliffhanger, but like I said, everything will be explained later!
