Chapter Twenty

"Oops." Reid said again.

"Reid's right, this isn't going to go good. I'll be upstairs with Jake. Fill me in later." said Evelyn running up the stairs in Jake's room.

Haley glared right at Reid and said "What the hell did you just say?"

"I was saying hypothetically." said Reid trying to play it off.

"It's not the way it sounded when you said it."

"Oh boy." said Tyler rolling his eyes.

Haley glared at Tyler for a brief second then back to Reid, and said "What the hell are you talking about Reid… and do not fuckin lie to me."

Reid sat down and said "Alright, I will tell you… But can I tell you after you ascend?"

"Now, Reid."

He sat down on the couch and said "Fine. I wasn't going to tell you this til after you were done ascending, because you would have freaked out." he looked her face full of worry. "Just like you are right now."

"Reid, regardless if she freaks out or not… we need to know what is going on." said Caleb.

"Spit it out, Reid." she said.

"Okay, me and Ty failed to mention about our dreams that Haley was pregnant."

"How can I get pregnant? I thought I wasn't able to have anymore?" she said looking confused.

"Well… you must have got lucky this time. But that guy was telling us both that for Haley not to worry but when she ascends the baby is going to be just fine."

It took Haley a few seconds to realize what he was saying and she screamed "What!?"

"She's pregnant now!?" yelled Caleb.

Tyler and Reid both nodded, Reid said "Yeah, I know it's way too early to know, but somehow that guy knows she is."

Haley was in shock, she sat down on the coffee table with a blank stare trying to let this new information marinate in her mind.

"Did that guy say anything else?" asked Caleb.

"He told me he was going to take my daughter's powers, but if she grows up looking like Haley, he'll spare her life."

"Daughter?" Haley whispered.

"Powers?" questioned Caleb.

"Your daughter?" asked Pogue.

"You slept with my sister, Reid?!" Caleb yelled.

Caleb was going to charge after him, but Tyler managed to hold him back.

"Look Cal… none of this made sence to me either. Yeah, Me and Haley slept together, then that morning I had the dream. I don't know how he knew she'd be pregnant."

"When?" asked Pogue.

Haley closed her eyes and shaking her head thinking to herself "Oh shit."

"When Haley?" Pogue yelled.

When she finally looked over, she had tears in her eyes falling down her cheeks, and whispered "The night I got out of the hospital."

Pogue was going to charge after Reid but this time Caleb and Tyler held him back.

"You just couldn't stay away from her could you Reid! You had to brain wash her to get her away from me!" he yelled.

"Pogue, you are the one who betrayed her, it was her choice and she chose me."

"I chose neither of you!" she finally spoke up. "Both of you leave me the hell alone!"

Haley ran out of the house. She Used to materialize Tyler's car keys in her hands. She got in, and drove off.

Tyler looked out the window and saw tail lights fading away in the distance, then he said "She's gone."

"Why did you sleep with her Reid, knowing she was with me?" asked Pogue.

"I wasn't thinking about you… evidently neither was she. You hurt her way worse than I ever have. In her mind you two were already over… besides you haven't even been with her a week, only a few days."

"That's not the point, Reid."

"Well… she made that decision to sleep with me on her own. Yes, I asked her to… but she could have said no, but she didn't."

"I can't believe this." Pogue said sitting down shaking his head.

"Look Pogue, I know you care about her and junk, but me and her have a long history. After everything that has been going on with her, do you actually think I could just sit back and do nothing?

Pogue, Caleb, and Tyler shook their heads.

"I love Haley more now than I ever have. Yeah, the whole time she was gone… yes I have done some stupid shit, but once she waltzed back into my life with my son... I found a few more reasons to enjoy life. All those feelings I had for her became stronger and I have changed since then for the better, I guess." he paused to look at three pairs of eyes looking at him. "I'm sorry Pogue… I love Haley with all my heart and I cannot see my life without her in it."

Caleb was extremely stunned by Reid's heart felt confession about his sister. He didn't know what to say. Never has he heard Reid talk like this about anybody in his life.

Pogue nor Tyler had anything to say about it either, they were just as stunned as Caleb.

After ten minutes of silence, Pogue said "I'll step aside. Go ahead and be with Haley, I don't want to be the guy to come in between a family and you, Haley, Jake, and your daughter are a family. Me and you are brothers and we shouldn't be fighting like this." Pogue stood up.

"Thanks man… that means a lot to me." Reid got up and gave Pogue a hug.

"But you better treat her good or I'll kick your ass." said Pogue.

"I will man… and Cal, you don't have to worry either."

"I know." Caleb nodded.

Reid and Pogue sat back down on their seats.

"So… Hales is pregnant." said Tyler.

Haley didn't know where she was going, she just kept driving and driving. She drove until she saw someone on the side of the road trying to fix their car in the distance. As she got closer she recognized it being that guy, Chase.

She pulled over, rolled down the window and said "Are you okay, do you need some help?"

Chase turned around and said "Oh hey… Haley, right?"

"Yeah… do you need some help?"

"Yeah, sure… I haven't seen you in a while. What are you doing way out here?"

"I was just taking a drive."

He saw the tear streaks on her cheeks and said "Are you okay?"

"Yeah… I'm fine."

"Alright… could you help me out and take me back into town to get a fan belt?"

"Sure, hop in."

As Chase went over to shut his hood, Haley was thinking to herself how wrong this was. She thought Chase gave her the wiggins, but she saw him in trouble and wanted to help.

He got in the passenger seat and smiled at her as he shut the door.

"Ready?"

"Yep… let's go."

Then Haley flipped a bitch and went back towards town.

"So… I haven't seen you or the guys in school." Chase said breaking the awkward silence.

"Yeah… we've been going thru some things. I think we'll be there tomorrow. I think the guys have to for swimming and junk."

"Oh… okay. I'll be swimming with them."

"You swim?"

"Yeah… not to toot my own horn, but I was the best at my other school."

"I see… well, my brother is the best at Spencer."

"Well… maybe me and Caleb should have a race and see who's the best." he smirked at her.

"I think that would be fun to see."

A few minutes her phone rang. She answered it, groaned, and said "What, Reid?"

"Where are you?" he said looking out the window watching a dark storm cloud in the distance.

"Coming back into town. What do you want?"

"To say that I am sorry, and we all want you to come back."

"I will later… I don't feel like it right now."

"Do you want to get a bite to eat?" Chase asked Haley making himself known in the car.

"Who is that Haley?" said Reid getting a little upset hearing a guys voice in the background.

"Do not lecture me right now. All I am doing is helping someone out okay?"

"Who is in the car with you?" Reid was getting mad.

"It's just Chase. I found him stranded on the side of the road. Calm the fuck down."

"Just please be careful, Kaity. I think there is going to be a bad storm."

"Yeah, sure." she said before she hung up on him and threw her phone in the center console. She looked up and it started to rain.

"Is everything okay?" asked Chase.

"Yeah… Peachy."

Reid threw his phone on the couch and said "Chase is in the car with Haley."

"What is he doing in the car with her?" asked Pogue.

"I don't know, but I do not trust him." said Reid still looking out the window.
