Chapter 6: Are you Happy?
"Are you pregnant?"
'Crap, I forgot to hide the test,' Haley thought. 'He wasn't supposed to find out like this.' She was still not answering.
"Haley, please tell me," Nathan pleaded.
"I'm pregnant," she said as she started to cry. Nathan pulled her in for a hug.
"How did this happen, we were careful?" he asked, confused.
"I don't know, but what are we going to do? We're still in high school."
"We can make it work Hales, it will be hard though."
"I know, what are our parents going to say?" Haley asked, remembering how much Dan and Deb hated them together.
"Your parents will probably be happy for us, mine will not. We don't have to tell my parents for a while."
"Okay, so did you hear about Lucas and Brooke?" Haley asked, she was so happy they were back together.
"Yeah, Lucas told me, and Jake told me about him and Peyton."
"It's so great that they're all back together. They seem so happy!"
"Yeah, they do. You must be tired, let's go to sleep." He kissed her forehead, and they both fell asleep.
The next morning…
Brooke and Lucas were both lying in Lucas' bed. Brooke woke up first and kissed Lucas to wake him up. He started to stir and began kissing back.
"Morning boyfriend," she said as they pulled away. "Let's get breakfast, I'm hungry."
"Okay, want to go to the café?" he asked. She nodded and they got dressed and headed to the café. When they got there they saw Nathan and Haley sitting at a table. They walked over and sat down with them.
"Why aren't you eating?" Lucas asked Haley, who was just sitting there while Nathan was eating. She looked like she wasn't even awake.
"Food bad, makes me throw up," she said, not making full sentences.
"Why?" he asked, confused.
"She's pregnant," Nathan said to a shocked Lucas, and to Brooke who already knew.
"Is that why you were acting weird last night?" Lucas asked Nathan.
"Yeah, I wasn't sure but I had found the test."
"Congratulations, you guys will make great parents," Lucas said getting up and hugging Haley. "I'm going to be an uncle!"
"Are you feeling okay, tutor-wife?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah, just tired with morning sickness," Haley replied.
"Do you know how far along you are?" Lucas asked.
"No, I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow after school."
"Oh, did you tell my mom yet?" Lucas asked.
"No, the only ones that know are me, Nathan, Brooke, Peyton, and you."
"You should probably tell my mom and your parents."
"We will tell your mom when she comes over to take your order, and we are going to try to get a hold of my parents today if we can, but we are waiting to tell Nathan's."
"Why?" Brooke asked.
"Because how do you think they'll react? My dad will probably say how it's the end of basketball, and my mom will say we're ruining our lives. But they're wrong, we'll make it work."
"Yeah, Jake still plays basketball and has a kid, and he didn't have someone like the two of you have each other," Lucas said. Karen walked over to take Lucas and Brooke's orders. "Haley has something to tell you," Lucas said to her.
"Okay, Haley what is it?"
"I'm pregnant," she said. Karen stood shocked for a moment, but then hugged oth Haley and Nathan saying congratulations.
Later that day…
Haley was trying to call her parents. They were traveling somewhere in the RV, Haley hadn't talked to them since they left a few months ago. After a few minutes of calling with out any luck she retreated to the bedroom where Nathan was reading 'Sports Illustrated' in bed.
"I couldn't get through," she said plopping down on the bed.
"We can try again tomorrow."
"We can try, but I don't know where they are, we probably won't be able to talk to them until they call us."
"Come here," he said putting down his magazine and opening his arms for her to crawl into. "We'll talk to them soon."
"I have a question for you," Haley said when she was finally lying in his arms.
"Okay, what is it?" he asked stroking her hair.
"Are you happy?"
"Of course I'm happy, why wouldn't I be? I have the best wife and a baby on the way."
"I love you so much."
"I love you too," he said kissing the top of her head.
"I'm going to miss you so much."
"When, I'm not leaving?" he asked confused.
"Yes you are, you have the camp to go to. You're still going."
"I can't leave you here pregnant and alone for three months, I'm not going."
"You have to go, I will be fine, and I'll stay with Lucas or Peyton or someone. Just because we're having a baby, doesn't mean you can give up on basketball."
"I'll think about it, but there's no guarantee that I'll go."
"Fine, but I really want you to go. I don't want you to ever look back and regret not going. Just think about that, please."
"Okay, what are we going to do for the rest of the day?"
"I was going to go shopping with Peyton and Brooke, maybe you could go to the river court with Lucas and Jake?"
"Okay, have fun."
"I plan on it," Haley said as she walked out the door and Brooke was waiting outside.
"Peyton is going to meet us at the mall," Brooke said as Haley got into the car.
"Okay, is she bringing Jenny?"
"Probably."
At the mall…
"So, Brooke told me Nathan found out. How?" Peyton asked as they walked through the mall.
"He found the test in our bathroom. I guess I forgot to hide it," Haley answered. She was pushing Jenny in her stroller. She liked having Jenny around to practice parenting on her.
"I hope you have a little girl, it wouldn't be as fun to spoil and dress up a boy," Brooke said when they walked into a baby store.
"Should I be afraid of you shopping for my child?" Haley asked, afraid of what Brooke may buy. They spent the rest of the day shopping and talking.
A/N: Sorry it sucked, it was just a filler chapter. I'm taking a poll, should Nathan go to camp, or stay home? Please let me know in reviews. Review and I'll update soon. Happy New Year!
