Hello!!!

Yeah I update quickly these last few days... In fact there are a lot of strikes in France.. So I've no school !!
2 weeks of vacations.. That's really great!
Anyway, here is the next chapter. It takes place on Sunday and on Monday.

New York.

Peyton wore a bathrobe, she was sitting on the bed looking at him, stretched out and sleeping next to her. She smiled, reminding the last night.

... ... ... ... ...

Peyton knocked at the door. She waited few minutes before someone open the door. It was the worst minutes of her life. She even thought to leave, why would he want her back? Miss Indecise Peyton! Andy appeared behind the door.
"Swayer?"
"Hi..."
He seemed to be icy.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm sorry... I've never been lucky with guys... I mean... My first boyfriend wasn't really a boyfriend... I fell in love with the boyfriend of my best friend. Twice... for what? Finally realizing we're just friends. And I loved a man because he gave what I've never had.. a family... and then as soon as I love someone they just leave... I'm afraid of being with you... Because... I don't want you to leave, Andy." Tears flowed on her cheeks. Andy lowered his head and then he looked up at her he just moved a little to let her in. Peyton closed her eyes, relieved and she came in.

... ... ... ... ...

Brooke had gone with Haley to the airport, and then she decided to return to the hotel. Thanks to Haley she had confessed what she hid inside her to everybody and to herself. In the bedroom she sat on the bed and hung up the phone.
"Allo. It's Gabriel's answering machine. I'm absent so leave a message after the tone. Bye."
Bip.
"Gabriel... It's Brooke... I'm going to stay in New York for few days... I need time for thinking about someting important in my life... I think you know what I'm talking about but... I promise I'll come back in Paris the next week-end. If you want to call I'm still in the same hotel with my friend Peyton... Bye..." She hung down. She dropped onto the bed. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Brooke opened her eyes, she sat up and looked around surprised. She had the impression to not have slept at all. she heard someone knocked at the door. It was probably Peyton. She stood up and went to open. Her heart sank seeing the person who were standing in front of her.
"Hi Brooke." Brooke couldn't breathe anymore. He was in front of her, Lucas was there in front of her.
"Luke..."
They didn't say a word after that. He made a step to her and they collided. He grabbed her by the waist, she put her hands behind his neck to keep his face closer to hers.

"Brooke?" The young woman opened her eyes and saw Peyton sitting next to her. Brooke sat up and looked around her.
"You okay?"
"Huh... yeah..." She whispered, upsetting by this dream... It was just a dream... she sighed.
"You said 'Luke'... you were dreaming."
She shrugged. "Yeah... nothing important. Where were you?"
"At Andy's... I saw Jake last night."
"Jake? Jake in New York?"
Peyton nodded. "Yeah. He wanted to see me. And I realized I was falling.. no that I'm in love with Andy." She was smiling.
"Haley had her plane early this morning?" She added. "She called me to tell me goodbye."
"Yeah.. She was disappointed to not see you but she really missed Nathan and James." Brooke paused. "Pey?"
"Yeah?"
"Can I stay with you this week?"
Peyton grinned. "Of course you do!" They hugged.
"You know what I want right now?"
"No, what?"
"I want shopping, B.Davis."
Brooke cheered. "Oh yes! Here we go!!"

Later in Tree Hill.

Haley went out of the taxicab, she paid the driver and took her bag. She smiled looking at her house. She was home. She took a deep breathe and came in.
"Nate? I'm home!" The house was silent and tidy like when she had left it, like if nobody had left in the house since this day.
"Nathan?" She put her bag on the floor and looked for Nathan. There was nobody in the living-room. The she heard people talk in the kitchen. She tried to hear what they were saying.
"You think she wil like it?"
"I'm sure of it... Even if your father is not the best cooker of the world, your mom can't resist to this meat." Haley was now at the door of the kitchen. She smiled. The sweet smeel of Mac and Cheese invided the room.
"Oh yeah, I can't resist!" Nathan and James turned their head to look at her.
"Mommy!!" James jumped off the stool and ran to Haley. Haley took him in her arms, carrying him.
"Hey baby! So you spent the week-end with daddy?"
"Just yesterday night. We did a lot of things together." Haley threw a gaze to Nathan. He smiled and she could see proud in his eyes. James jumped off Haley's arms and left the room. Haley moved to Nathan.
"How was New York?"
"Great. But I miss you..."
He smirked.
"Really?"
"Oh yeah, you did." Haley moved closer, surrounded his neck by her arms and leading his face closer to hers. Their lips collided and brushed in a deep kiss.
"I miss you too."
Haley smiled against his lips.

Monday.

Haley was ready to leave. She went down the stairs.
"Nathan? You're ready?" She asked going to the bedroom.
"Almost." He answered, putting his shirt on. He was sitting on the bed. They looked at each other, smiling.
"I'm going to help you to sit on your wheelchair... Come on." She helped him to sit and then she left the room, looking for James.
"James! Here we go!" Nathan heard the little boy running in the corridor. He stopped in front of the bedroom door where Nathan was. He held the crutches.
"I put them into the truck." Haley appeared.
"He takes care of you..."
"Yeah..." Nathan smiled, then his smile became a smrik.
"You know you're really... sexy with that dress... and this baby bump is simply wonderful."
Haley blushed. They finally left. On the way to the hospital, Haley and James began to sing a song the little boy had learnt at school. Haley and James went with Nathan to the waiting room of the Physiotherapy flat.
"You can go, Hales."
She nodded.
"Okay... About tonight... Do you want to come with me at the party in High School..."
He sighed. "I don't know... In a wheelchair... Hales... Sorry... You'll better have fun without me."
Haley sighed disappointed, but she put a smile on her face.
"Okay... Lucas will pick up at then end of your appointment." She put a kiss on his forehead and left holding James's hand. Nathan sighed, he knew she was disappointed, but she would understand.

'She is in New York with me until the end of the week end'. It was the message he had received from Peyton after he had sent one to her, asking if she knew where were Brooke. Lucas put his cell phone on the board and turned to watch Nathan who was sitting in the car next to him.
"So? How was it?"
"Fine. I progress."
"Good. I've a question..."
Nathan raised his hands. "If it's about Dan, you can forget your question."
"No... it's about Brooke."
Nathan nodded. "Okay."
"In my shoes, what would you do?"
"I would go to Paris..."
"She's in New York. She decided to stay with Peyton."
"So? Why don't you go there?"
"I'm still with Lauren..."
"Break up with Lauren... You don't even love her..."
Lucas sighed, desperate. Nathan laughed. "God... Lucas... Come on! Don't do this mistake. You love one person in the world, who loves you too. You tried, it didn't work but your feelings still exist after all these years. Why? Because it's Love with a big and bold L. Love. Don't you want to have someone in your life like I have Haley."
"Yes..."
"So? What are you doing here with me?"
Lucas shook his head.
"Lucas.. before you take a plane to New York... Tonight, Haley has a party at High School... Can you help me to do something?"
"Of course, I will help you."
They smiled each other and began to talk about the beginning of the NBA season.

High School, at the party.

Haley went home quickly to change herself in the last creation of the maternity mini collection by Brooke Davis. In fact Brooke had made some clothes just for Haley's pregnancy. It was a black, light beige and honey cream floral print halter dress with an empire waist and a sweet-heart neckline, which letting discover her sweet baby bump under. She had black ankle-strap round toe pump shoes. Tom, from where he was, couldn't stop watching her. She was beautiful, she looks like an angel, her glass of orange juice in her hand and laughing with the High School Principal. She was so natural. Her long hair up in a ponytail was so wonderful that he wanted to cross his fingers in it. He took a deep breathe. Suddenly he felt someone next to him. He didn't look at this person.
"She's really beautiful, doesn't she?"
"Beautiful it's not the word... She's wonderful, natural, charming and... sexy. This woman is... she really attracts me. I dream of her all the nights, especially since we almost kiss..." Tom answered to the person. It wasn't the thing to say. Sexy. The person grabbed Tom by the arm and pushed him in the corner, discretely to not attract the others. Tom recognized the man. Nathan, Haley's husband. Nathan smirked and blocked Tom's neck with the top of his crutche.
