Chapter 2 Later that night at Haley's

Haley sat in her living room contemplating the night's previous events.

Earlier that night

After Haley and James came in from Luke and Brooke's house, Haley was getting James ready for bed when he asked:

"Mommy, does my daddy love me?"

Haley's heart dropped, she wasn't sure how to answer a question like that, she knew that she would have to have this conversation sooner or later but now, not now James wasn't ready yet.

"umm..yeah he loves you James"

"Then why isn't he ever around?" James questioned

"He's just busy James, why are you asking?"

"Because all the other boys at school have daddies that come and pick them up, but uncle Luke or you come to get me." James said sadly.

"James your dad loves you so much you have no idea how much." Haley said sighing.

"Then why isn't he ever here?" James asked persistently

"I don't know what to tell you James"

"Tell me the truth mommy."

"It's complicated James" Haley said running out of logical answers.

"Mommy, I want to know, please," James begged

Haley hesitated but answered.

"Would you like to meet him?" she stuttered.

"Yeah, thanks mommy" James said and gave Haley a big hug, and went to his bedroom to go to sleep.

Present

As Haley held the phone in her hand hesitating to call Nathan, she recalled the night she found out she was pregnant.

Flashback

Brooke, Peyton and Haley were at the mall having a girl's night out.

"So where to next?" Brooke asked as they wondered around the mall.

"I don't know the music store," Peyton hinted.

"Fine, you emo rocker" Brooke retorted.

"I think I'll go to the bathroom guys," Haley said looking pale.

"Hales are you okay?" Peyton asked.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine probably those chilly dogs coming up on me, I'm fine-"Haley didn't get to finish before she ran to the bathroom hurling.

Brooke and Peyton followed behind, while Brooke held Haley's hair, and Peyton got her some water to wash out the nasty taste.

"Tutor girl, what's going on?" Brooke asked concerned.

"I think I'm pregnant." Haley barely said.

"What?!" Peyton gasped.

"I knew it" Brooke said knowingly and kinda conceitedly.

"Not now Brooke" Haley said.

"Sorry, Tutor girl" Brooke hesitated before asking. "Have you had a test?"

"No"

"Then come on me and Peyton will come with you.......ok?"

"Yeah thanks you guys," Haley said hugging them.

Drugstore

"Oh, jeez how many kind, do they have?" Haley said in astonishment.

"Here, use this one, it accurate....I used it" Brooke said as she handed Haley EPT.

"When?" Both Haley and Peyton said.

"Another story for a horny time." Brooke smiled.

"Whatever Brooke lets just go please." Haley said.

Nathan/Haley's Apartment

"Com on Hales" Peyton called.

"That's it Tutor Girl we're coming in." Brooke said.

When they walked into the bathroom Haley was sitting to the seat on the toilet with her hands in her head. The pregnancy test was on the counter next to the sink.

"Haley it's gonna be okay" Brooke said comforting Haley.

"I don't eve know what it says yet but I'm still so scared, I don't know what I'm gonna do, Nathan's gonna leave me...and you just called me Haley." Haley said to Brooke.

"Yeah well this is serious." Brooke said smiling.

"And Haley Nathan's not gonna leave you, he loves you more than life itself, Haley you know that." Peyton said hugging Haley.

Just then the timer went off, Haley got up slowly to check, when she picked it up and it read "Pregnant" she just started crying. She couldn't believe that at 16 she was married with a kid on the way.

Present

Haley still had the phone clutched in her hand unsure of what to do next, called Peyton.

"Hello?" Peyton answered.

"Hey Peyton it's Haley."

"Hey Hales what's up?"

"Nothin much besides the fact that James just asked about Nathan, you?"

"OMG!! Are you serious what did you tell him?!" Peyton gasped.

"I asked him if he wanted to meet Nathan, so I've gotten myself into a suckfest now" Haley sighed.

"Well Hales the best advice I can give you is to let him see his father, that's the only way James isn't gonna grow up to resent Nathan for never being around."

"But Pey-"Haley couldn't finish before Peyton cut her off.

"But nothing Hales you have to let James see Nathan or he's gonna be like Lucas resenting the father that was never there, but worse the father the was never there because he never knew.... Do what you feel Hales." Peyton said.

"Yeah ok thanks Peyton"

"Anytime Haley"

Haley hung up from Peyton and dialed Nathan.
