"So, I kicked him out," Haley said finishing her story to Lucas.
"Wow," was all Lucas could say to his best friend.
"I know." Haley whispered, "I don't know what to do."
"Do you believe him?" Lucas questioned.
"I don't know," Haley said turning into her best friend's arms, and broke down in sobs.
Nathan walked down the street wiping his eyes after a very emotional conversation with his daughter, and Peyton.
Flashback
"Michelle please don't cry, angel," Nathan whispered to his daughter after his friends left the room.
"I don't want you and Mommy to get a divorce," Michelle got through sobs.
"Sweetie, listen to me. I have never cheated on your mom," Nathan promised.
"Then how come you're getting a test?" Michelle said.
"Because. I want to prove to this woman that I'm not her baby's father. If I don't she might want me to pay something. Michelle, I promise you I would never do anything to ever destroy your mom and my marriage. I love your mother so, so much. And I wouldn't do it to you, your brothers, or this new baby. I love all of you so much, baby," Nathan whispered.
"Can you sing to me, Daddy?" Michelle asked in a whisper.
"What song?" Nathan asked.
"The song," Michelle answered, eye lids becoming heavy.
"There's two things I know for sure
She was sent here from Heaven
And she's daddys little girl
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life
Oh but most of all
For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
Walk beside the pony daddy
It's my first ride
I know the cake looks funny daddy
But I sure tried
Oh with all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
TO deserve a hug every morning
And butterfly kisses at night
Sweet 16 today
She's looking like her mama
A little more every day
One part woman
The other part girl
To perfume and make up
From ribbons and curls
Trying her wrongs out in a great big world
But I remember
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
You know how much I love you daddy
But if you don't mind
I'm only gonna kiss you on the check this time
Oh with all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning
And butterfly kisses at night
All the precious time
Like the wind the years go by
Precious Butterfly
Spread your wings and fly
She'll change her name today
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away
Standing in the bride room just staring at her
She asked me what I'm thinking
And I said I'm not sure
I just feel like I'm loosing my baby girl
And she leaned over
And gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
Walk me down the isle daddy
It's just about time
Does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?
Daddy don't cry
Oh with all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask God for more than this is what love is
I know I've got to let her go but I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses at night," Nathan finished off.
Looking towards Michelle and noticing she was sleeping. He got up thanking Peyton, Jake and Brooke. He told them to look over Haley and the kids for them. They all sadly looked at them and nodded, watching Nathan leave. Peyton quickly got up and walked on out after him.
"Nathan!" Peyton called causing Nathan to turn around and look at his ex-girlfriend.
"Yeah, Peyt," Nathan responded.
"What happened?" she asked.
"Some girl is saying I got her pregnant," Nathan said as Peyton gasped, "And I'm taking a test to try and prove to her that it's not mine. And, Haley just went, as anyone would act." Nathan said.
Peyton stared at Nathan intently.
"I wouldn't cheat on her, Peyt," he whispered, "You know that. I love her so much," and with that, Nathan broke down into tears.
"You need to talk to her," Peyton said.
End Flashback
And that's just where Nathan was headed. To his house. To prove to Haley he was innocent.
Haley and Lucas were still in bed, Haley having cried herself to sleep and Lucas trying to calm her down. Even in her sleep, she was sobbing.
"You think they'll work it out?" Brooke asked breaking the silence.
"They have to," Jake said.
As Nathan walked into his house, he heard silence.
"Hales?" he called out, then rushed up to his bedroom. He opened the door, only to get angry at the sight before him.
"Hey man," Lucas said.
Nathan angrily looked at his brother, "What? Lucas- you're in bed with my wife and all you have to say is HEY MAN!"
"Nathan?" Haley asked waking up.
"Haley-I never slept with Hope! And you kicked me out of the house. Here you are in bed with my brother!" Nathan screamed.
Lucas and Haley looked at each other with one expression: confusion.
"Nathan-what are you-" Haley started as Nathan ran out of the house.
"NATHAN!" Haley screamed.
Haley heard his car screech and broke down in sobs yet again, realizing that Nathan thought Haley and Lucas had slept together, and realized that he was probably more mad then he ever could be.
Nathan stormed into Peyton and Jake's house and as Jake, Peyton and Brooke all questionably looked at him he screamed.
"I FOUND HALEY IN BED WITH LUCAS!" Nathan said, and then walked out and got into his car, and broke down crying.
The looks on Brooke, Jake and Peyton's faces were all different. Peyton's eyes filled up with tears, Jake had confusion, and Brooke had a look of disgust.
"That asshole said he was in love with me!" Brooke screamed.
"I don't think anything happened, Brooke," Jake said.
Peyton ran up into her room, not being able to handle it, Jake quickly following
"Everything's screwed up, Jake." Peyton cried to her husband.
"It's Nathan and Haley-they'll work it out." Jake soothed his wife.
"What about Brooke and Lucas?" Peyton asked.
"People that are meant to be together always find their way back in the end," Brooke said by the door.
Peyton smiled at her.
"Guys, I'm gonna go talk to Lucas," Brooke started.
"Brooke that's great!" Jake exclaimed.
"Don't get excited Jake, I'm still engaged," Brooke said.
"I know Brooke," Peyton said, "She's gonna yell at him."
Nathan sat in his car, his emotions coming together, and replaying the moment over and over again. They had clothes on, Nathan thought quickly.
"DAMNIT!" he screamed, knowing he just ruined things even more. Suddenly, the phone rang.
"Haley?" he asked into the phone.
"Mr. Scott?" the doctor on the other line said.
"Yes." Nathan answered.
"Mr. Scott-we have the results."
"And?" he asked.
"It's negative. You're not the father," the doctor said.
"Thank you," he said.
Nathan breathed, smiling for the first time. As he went to call Haley, he realized she was probably still with Lucas. He was still mad about that, and realized he didn't know what happened. They might have heard the car come, and quickly put the clothes back on, they could've…Nathan couldn't think, all he could do was thank God he wasn't Hope's baby's father, and pray for the best in the rest.
Brooke stormed into the Scott house, seeing Haley crying and Lucas standing trying to console her.
"How could you, Lucas!" Brooke screamed, "How could you sleep with your sister-in-law!"
"Brooke. I didn't sleep with Haley. We're best frigging friends. I'm allowed to be in her bed," Lucas stressed.
"With no clothes on?" Brooke spat.
"I had clothes on Brooke!" Lucas yelled. "And you know what-we aren't even together! So even if I was naked-it wouldn't have been any of your business."
"You know what Lucas-" Brooke started, but was cut off by a bang.
Brooke and Lucas turned around looking for the cause of the crash, and they saw Haley passed out on the floor. Brooke and Lucas immediately ran to her, but what worried them more was the pool of blood forming under Haley.
"Call 911!" Brooke screamed.
"Go in with her, Brooke," Lucas said, "I'll call Nathan, Peyton, and Jake."
Brooke nodded, gave Lucas a hug, and mumbled an apology and an "I believe you," before heading into the ambulance.
Nathan felt a vibration in his pocket, and noticed his brother calling him.
"Dude, in case you haven't realized-I don't want to talk to you." Nathan said into his phone.
"Nathan, it's Haley. She was bleeding and she passed out. We're on our way to the hospital." Lucas said.
Nathan hung up and sat there in shock. He quickly reacted and rushed to the hospital.

"Man, I never slept with her! You gotta believe me!" Lucas begged.
"I do." Nathan said looking towards his brother.

As the doctor walked away, Nathan punched the wall, then broke down into his brother's arms.
"Tell me this is a nightmare!"
