Chapter 21-

4 months later

"Hey Brooke can you pick up that box of fabric for me?" Haly said as she was sitting down at her desk at work.

"Of course, where do you want it?"

"Right over there, that'd be great. Thanks."

"No problem buddy, is there anything else I can get you, your heinous."

"Well now that you ask could you get me a cup of coffee or something. I'm in dier need of some caffeine."

"Um let's think about that for a second...um...no. Have you forgotten?"

"I know I know, but I mean come on Brooke one cup couldn't possibly hurt."

"Yes it can, besides why take any chances."

"I suppose your right, it's just so hard and my back is really starting to kill me." Haley said as she began rubbing her back.

"I don't know why, I mean your like 5 and a half months pregnant and you still can't tell that your pregnant. You sure do have it good. I hope I have the same luck."

"Yah well I have a feeling that this little one might decide to grow extra fast in the next couple of weeks. Before you know it, I will be a huge blimp and everyone will tell that I am with child." Haley said as she rubbed her belly.

"You know what I think you need?" Brooke said

"What?"

"I think you need a baby's daddy you know to rub your feet at night..."

"Brooke..."

"To massage your back when it hurts..."

"Brooke.."

"Oh and to help you lift boxes, and make sure you don't drink caffeine and to get all those ridiculous foods in the middle of the night for you..."

"BROOKE!!!!"

"What?"

"Just stop, ok? I already told you why I'm not going to tell Nathan about the baby."

"Are you talking about that lame excuse about how you don't want him to give up a great oppurtunity because of obligation and balh blah blah blah...yah um no, I'm not buying it. I know you Haley James and your scared, of what? I don't know but there is soomething."

"I'm not scared, I'm just doing what's best for all of us, Me, Nathan and my baby."

"Ok well that settles it then."

"Settles what?"

"Well if your not scared then you should have no problem with the fact that Nathan is coming into town next week."

"WHAT?"

"Yah, according to jake, he's been really love sick over this girl who dumped him and is currently keeping him from his unborn child.. I really don't understand the fascination he has with this girl but apparently it's making his life a living hell in California."

"Really?"

"Yes really. Jake has been hearing about you for the past 4 months about how much Nathan misses you and how he can't bring himself to date anyone and how he can't stay in California knowing that he doesn't have you. I mean can you see what your doing Haley. You break up with him in hopes that he will have a great life in California and have a chance of lifetime working th job of his dreams but in reality your making his dreams a nightmare because he doesn't have you. Your plan didn't work Haley. In fact, it's ruining Nathan's life. Maybe you should think about that."

Brooke walked out of the office leaving Haley behind to think about her words. "Maybe I should tell him?" Haley said to herself
