Chapter #9~Loose Ends!
Haley was now 5 months pregnant. Nathan had started his basketball season and was doing great as a rookie. They and the ordeal with Dan was the big sports news story for about a week but now Nathan was mostly the only one in the spotlight since he was so far a shoe-in for rookie of the year. They were in the doctor's office having a sonogram done.
"And there's your baby!" the doctor said pointing at the screen. Nathan and Haley stared together in awe.
"Oh my God, Nate that's our baby!" Haley whispered getting emotional.
"I know" Nathan whispered back a little choked up and kissing Haley's temple.
"Everything seems fine, here's your baby's heartbeat."
Nathan and Haley couldn't hold back the tears anymore at the sound of their little baby's heart pumping. The baby that could of not been here and yet here it was. "That's amazing" Nathan smiled at Haley. "Yea" was all she could manage to say because she was speechless. The doctor printed out a picture and they were able to leave. They were walking out of the doctor's office hand in hand and smiling at each other. Before they reached their car they stopped in the middle of the parking lot to kiss. They stopped when a car honked at them. They turned towards the car as the driver was stepping out. Their faces froze when they saw whom it was. Dan.
"Oh no" Haley whispered her body still facing Nathan's. He stepped in front of her hiding her behind him.
"Stay back Dan. Don't you dare come near us or I swear I won't be responsible for what I do to you." Nathan yelled at his father.
"There you go again with the worry son," Dan chuckled, reminding Nathan of the words he had said the night of his NBA celebration. It made Nathan clench his fists. "I just want to see how my grandchild is doing."
"How dare you? It's your fault that our baby or even Haley almost died and you have the audacity to come here and ask for how your grandchild is doing. I'm not buying it; you wouldn't risk being caught for that. What's your real agenda Dan?" While they were exchanging conversation, if you could call it that, Haley had taken Nathan's cell phone from his waist and dialed 911. A secretary that was at her window had also seen Dan and recognized him from all the publicity and she too dialed 911.
"You're right son. I didn't risk coming here to get caught as I probably will just to know about some bastard."
"HEY DON'T YOU EVEN DARE CALL HIM THAT AGAIN YOU HEAR ME?" Nathan yelled so loud it even scared Haley because she didn't know that he was capable of screaming like that. Nathan was furious.
Dan just shrugged it off, "I'm here to finish what I started," he said calmly and then quickly pulling out a gun.
"NOOOO!" Haley yelled jumping in front of Nathan. She began to ball her eyes out "No please don't kill him he's your son for Gods sakes! Why do you want to hurt your own son?" Haley yelled through tears.
"Sweetie this is going to sound crazy but please try to relax for the baby ok the stress isn't good," Nathan whispered in Haley's ear. She calmed down a little bit at Nathan's soothing words.
"You're right why do I want to kill him?" Dan asked himself staring down at the pistol as if it had the answer. He was completely and literally insane. Police pulled up everywhere and pulled out their guns pointing them at Dan. He turned around and realized he was surrounded. He wasn't going to get away this time. He only had one way out he thought as police yelled at him to put the gun down. Instead, he raised it to his temple and Haley quickly turned around and buried her head in Nathan's chest just before the gun went off.

"Thanks you guys this was great!" Haley waved goodbye to her friends and hugged Brooke and Peyton as they left the house from her baby shower. Haley was 8 months now. She turned around right into Nathan's arms. They kissed.
"Did you enjoy yourself?" Nathan asked smiling.
"Yea although I didn't do much I'm too fat to get up and move" Haley laughed placing her hands on Nathan's chest as his were on her waist.
"Sweetie your not fat you're 8 months pregnant and you look just as beautiful and gorgeous as ever."
"Aww come here!" Haley giggled snaking her arms around Nathan's neck and bringing him down to kiss her.
"You only make those fat comments just to hear me tell you how beautiful you are," Nathan laughed down at her.
"How don't you know I do it so you'll kiss me!" Haley teased.
"Oh well in that case..." Nathan laughed as Haley giggled and they kissed once more and passionately.
"MMMMmmmm" Haley sighed as he let go, still a little dizzy. Nathan smiled cockily, happy that she enjoyed his kiss.
"Hey did I tell you yet congratulations on rookie of the year." Haley told Nathan.
Nathan laughed, "Of course you did!"
"Good then come help me open presents," she took him by the hand dragging him into the kitchen where all the baby shower gifts were left.
"I knew there was a reason you were being nice!" Nathan laughed following her.
"Hey I'm always nice! Now sit and help before I make you go out for ice cream!" Haley teased.
"Was that an example of how you're always nice?" Nathan smiled. She just stuck her tongue out at him. Nathan laughed at her as she smiled back. She was so cute and adorable to him.
"Oh Haley, I don't know why but I love you!" he smiled at her his award winning smile.
She smiled back a sweet grin, "I love you too honey." They both sat up a little from their chairs and leaned across the table so that their lips met in a sweet, soft yet long kiss.
