All I Have
Chapter 23
"Sometimes I wonder if anything's absolute anymore. Is There Still right and wrong? Good and bad? Truth and lies? Or is everything negotiable, left to interpretation, grey. Sometimes we're forced to bend the truth, transform it, cause we're faced with things that are not of our own making. And sometimes things simply catch up to us."
Days Later
The Scott Home
"A post birthday celebration breakfast my best friend, sister, and god sons. I'm a lucky woman. This was just wonderful thank you." Haley said. Smiling up at the couple. Stuffed after enjoying a large food spread of breafast items and drinks.
"You're welcome it is the least we can do. We would of celebrated with you on the day but there was alot going on and we wanted to give you and Chris some privacy. As much as we missed you. We were sure it wouldn't compare to the absence not having you around left behind." Brooke said.
"You're right about that the privacy was needed and appreciate. There are things Chris and i still need to figure out and work through which is why i'm heading out to LA for a bit to face the needed conversation head on."
"I appreciate and i are so grateful to the both of you for keeping me up to date on how Chris was coping without me this past year. And being a support system for him. Means more to me then you know." Haley said. Blinking back tears.
"Of course we will never not be there for Chris. He's been a welcomed addition to our lives. He's our friend. Hell he's family. Protecting and being there for each other is what we do." Lucas said.
"Aunt Haley wait!" The boys now four years old said in unison as they rushed over to the dining room table.
Haley smiled as she focused her gaze on the children.
"We bought you this as a gift." They said. Handing it to her.
Haley clutched it tightly. "It's a journal. I love it and will use it right away. Thank my god sons. I love you both so much." She said. Placing down the journal before pulling them into a warm embrace.
They hugged her back before wiggling out from her arms and racing back upstairs.
With her birhday gift in hand Haley left the home. Promising to call when she reached there.

Weeks Later
After a long tiring plane ride Haley had arrived in LA. She informed Chris of her impending visit awhile back. He texted her and told her to meet him at his hotel room.
He was staying at the well known and one of the most popular celebrity hotels. Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills.
It had 4 stars. Charged 725 dollars a day.
Being apart of the celebrity lifestyle would be something she would spend a lifetime adjusting too.
Haley bawled up her fist and knocked on the front door of his room.
The door opened slowly in front of her.
Chris smiled happily up at her.
"Come in get comfortable. We can order room service if you want.?" He asked.
Haley walked inside the room. Closing the door behind herself.
He had put the wedding ring on her finger and she had put his wedding ring on his finger. It had happened while they were alone in their room. Awhile after they had made love. The commitment and promises made between them were now solid and unshaken.
"No. I don't want to order room service. We need to talk. Why don't you want you want to have more kids.? The truth. Because i know you loved Morgan and wanted to be her father so much." Haley said. The emotion in her voice thick.
The expression on his face softened. "I don't want to let you down. Become a disappointment. A failure. Break out kid's heart like my parents broke mine." Chris admitted. With tears brimming in his eyes.
Haley caressed his face with her hand.
"You have stood by me through all of this. Not knowing the outcome you are my safe place to land. The man i am so in love with. You have proven time and time again that when faced with a challenge you will never leave my side. It will be the same way with our child or children."
"You are not you're parents."
"I need to be honest with you.I needed clarification and reassurance. I was afraid and unsure but i know now that everything will be alright. I'm pregnant with triplets." Haley confessed. Taking the ultrasound picture from her purse.
