Hey Everyone! Thanks again for all your amazing replies! I'm sorry I haven't updated in the past couple days.

I'll shut up now so you can read the story! hehe!

The Bodyguard

Chapter 20

The FBI arrived at the small apartment shortly after the police. The Lieutenant was now taking a statement from Haley as Nathan talked with these couple Detectives that he knew.

She tried to concentrate on what the Lieutenant was asking her but she suddenly became extremely dizzy. Everyone that moving around was getting to her. Reality was just starting to sink in. Haley brought her hand up to her forehead and realized that she was sweating.

The Lieutenant looked at her and noticed how pale her face was. "Are you okay miss?"

"No...I...Uh...I...Need to sit..." Haley said trying to keep the room in focus.

Nathan was listening to something Marvin McFadden was saying, a friend from college who was now a crime scene investigator, and glanced over at Haley. He saw her grab a hold of the Lieutenants arm as he helped guide her to sit down.

"Excuse me." Nathan said to his friend before rushing over to the love of his life. When he reached her he saw how ghostly she was looking. "Hales are you alright?" He asked kneeling down in front of her.

Haley was feeling a little better now that she was sitting, but she still felt like she was going to hurl. "I think I'm going to get sick." She simply said feeling her stomach churn.

Nathan reacted quickly and grabbed a nearby trash can setting it in front of her. Haley immediately began throwing up into the waste bin as Nathan held her hair back. That's when he started to worry for her. And their unborn child.

The Lieutenant mumbled something about coming back as he to looked like he may get sick. Nathan looked around to make sure nobody was listening to them.

"Are you sure everything is alright?" He asked after Haley finished puking. She looked up at him and saw the worried expression planted on his face. She couldn't help smiling at his concern for her.

"I'll be fine. It's just a common symptom of you know..." She stated as she put a hand over her flat stomach. Nathan looked down at her hand and smiled. He wanted so bad to feel her belly too. Just to see if he could maybe feel it too. He didn't though for sake of someone seeing.

"So the doctor did confirm it?" He asked anxiously even though he already knew the answer. She gave him a saddened nod and looked away as tears brimmed her brown eyes. After this whole incident, she actually forgot about going to the clinic. Until now. It hit her like a ton of bricks and nearly knocked the breath out of her small body.

"Excuse me Miss James." The Lieutenant stated walking up to her getting her attention. "Have you called your parents yet?"

Haley cursed to herself. What was she going to say to her parents? She was supposed to be shopping with Brooke. Yet here she was with Nathan in some strangers apartment speaking with the FBI about the crazed situation that she was now in. Think Haley think. Nathan watched as Haley mentally argued with herself.

"Umm...Yeah she just called a few minutes ago." Nathan stated for her. The Lieutenant gave a nod and walked away.

"Thanks." Haley said turning back to Nathan. "I need to call them, and Brooke."

"Yeah. Maybe we should come up with some sort of story first." Nathan replied giving her a weary look.

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

Lydia and Jimmy James walked into the FBI agency shortly after they received a call from Haley explaining what happened. They were both worried to death. Then Lydia spotted Haley who was laughing at something a guy she was talking to say. She felt a wave of relief wash over her at seeing her daughter smile.

Haley saw her parents out of the corner of her eye and excused herself from Marvin. She met her mother in two steps and was wrapped tightly into her arms.

"I was so worried." Lydia stated nearing tears. Haley felt like the life was being sucked out of her. Partly from her mom hugging her so tight and the other part from lying to her.

"Mom...I can't breath." Haley said with a slight giggle. Lydia pulled her back and gave a slight laugh putting a gentle hand on her chin.

"I'm so glad your okay. Now where is Nathan so I can give him a bear hug?" Lydia stated looking around. She spotted him talking with a few guys and walked over to him.

Haley watched her mother with a grin before tuning to face her father.

"Thank god this is all over." Jimmy stated pulling Haley in his embrace for a side hug while leading them to her mother and Nathan.

Haley looked down at his statement. She still had the feeling that it wasn't over. Not yet.

As they made their way over to them Haley saw the Lieutenant, in his office, talking on the phone in an angry manner. He then shut the phone and threw it on his desk. He walked out and made his way over to Haley and her parents.

Jimmy looked up and smiled at the man. "Keith! You guys finally got him!"

The Lieutenant looked at Jimmy with defeated eyes. Lydia took notice and couldn't help asking what was wrong.

"What happened?" She asked wary.

Haley looked at Nathan who was waiting for him to answer anxiously.

"The cruiser that was escorting our guy to the station was involved in an accident. Some guys ambushed the crashed car and shot my two detectives and our guy." Keith stated angrily.

Everyone stood there in complete and utter shock nobody not knowing what to say.

"There were no witnesses. That we know of so far." Keith added.

"So you know for a fact that there is someone out there calling the shots. Someone with a lot of power and money." Nathan stated finally letting the new information sink in. "And it's not over."

"Yes." Keith replied. "Jimmy I'm starting to think your first allegations of the source is right." Keith admitted turning to Jimmy.

Nathan looked at Jimmy with a questioning look. "You still think it's that guy who you are about to send to prison? Carlos Lehder?"

Haley stood there confused as to what they were talking about. Why would the guy that her father was sending to prison try to kill her?

"I never stopped suspecting him." Jimmy admitted.

"You think he is tying to get to you through Haley?" Nathan asked just as Haley was about to ask why he was after her.

Then Keith spoke up before Jimmy could answer. "I think that Carlos is trying to get Jimmy off the case because he knows that with him on, that he will definitely lose his case. I just don't understand why he would be after your daughter instead of threatening you."

"I have been receiving anonymous letters of somebody threatening me." Jimmy exclaimed cautiously. For it was the one thing he never told Lydia or Keith.

"Jimmy Samuel James!" Lydia declared with an angry glare at her husband. Everybody looked amused to Jimmy who looked slightly embarrassed. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't want you worried about me too. I'm fine. I can take care of myself." Jimmy stated in a stern voice.

"Jimmy you're going to have to bring those letters into be analyzed." Keith stated firmly.

"I got letters too." Haley said speaking for the first time in ages. Now it was her turn to be scolded by her mother.

"Why didn't you say anything honey?" Lydia asked worriedly. "That was very dumb of you to hide something like that!"

"I know mom. I just didn't want to deal with it." Haley replied to her mom. Then looked at Keith. "And I'm sorry but I threw my letters away."

"Well your going to have to try to remember what they said and let us know." Keith said in an understanding tone.

Haley nodded and then looked down at the ground feeling bad for not telling any one about her letters. Then a light bulb went off and she looked up. "Wait. How come when I was kidnapped last month that the guys who had me know Nathan? Remember how I told you guys that they left because someone called and said that Nathan was on his way." She stated proudly.

Everyone went silent thinking deeply about what she declared.

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

Haley and Nathan sat in her family room while her parents were in the kitchen talking.

"I wish this madness would just end." Haley stated in an exasperated voice while lying back on the huge coach.

Nathan looked to her and felt mentally tired. All day he has been trying to think of who could be a suspect. He came up with a few possible people but nothing could add up for a motive.

"I know one good thing that came out of all this." Nathan said turning to look at Haley with a smirk.

She looked up at him confused. "What?"

"I fell in love." He replied in a soft voice and his eyes turning a dark shade of blue.

Haley smiled at before sitting up and leaning into give him a kiss.

"Haley we need to talk to you." Jimmy stated walking into the room just as Haley started moving slightly away from Nathan. Jimmy saw Nathan and smiled. "You too Nathan."

Nathan smiled back happy that Jimmy was finally able to forgive him.

They both got up off the couch and followed Jimmy into the kitchen where Lydia was sitting at the counter.

"What's up dad?" Haley asked taking a seat next to her mother. Nathan stood on the other side with Jimmy.

"Well I was debating about whether to send you back to Karen's." Jimmy stated and Haley was about to protest but he cut her off. "However, I decided to get you another bodyguard." Haley shrugged her shoulders in defeat. At least she would get to stay home.

"But your father and I can only trust one bodyguard." Lydia added in glancing at Nathan.

Haley perked up at her mothers statement. "Really?"

"Yes. If only Nathan agrees?" Jimmy replied looking at an astonished Nathan.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Nathan said shaking Jimmy's hand.
