"Nathan, she is my mother in law and I am pregnant with her grandchild and she told me off!"
"Haley, but she's my mother…she was my mother before I was your husband"
"So you're gonna take her side when she condemned your child and wife to hell?" Haley screamed.
"She didn't condemn anyone to hell, Haley, her 18 year old is having a child, you have to understand" Nathan said softly, stretching his arms out to her.
"Nathan, I am so pissed off at you right now you can't even imagine" Haley snapped. "I am pregnant with YOUR child, and your mother storms in here demanding to know why we weren't more careful because apparently, WE'RE NOT READY TO BE PARENTS!"
"Haley…" Nathan sighed. He hated fighting with her.
"Don't Haley and sigh me! This is a big deal Nathan and I am not willing to let our marriage fail again with a BABY on the way. You have a choice- tell your mother to back the hell off or take her side and lose me" Haley said.
"Haley you did NOT just give me an ultimatum"
"I did…wanna watch me do it again?" Haley screamed. "I know she is your mother, but she didn't stick by you through our marriage crisis, she basically KICKED you out of the house, and now, she says that she doesn't believe I'm pregnant"
"Look Haley, sweetie…I don't even know WHAT she said"
"She said she wanted me to have an abortion" Haley whispered, tears falling out of her eyes. "She said I already ruined your life by marrying you, and now I was destroying it by having a baby, and that I better get an abortion or give it up for adoption"
"Haley…did she seriously say that?"
"Yes…and she said you told her a while ago that you and me didn't plan on having children until really late because you didn't think you wanted a baby and that if any pregnancy happened earlier than planned, we would definitely give it up or get an abortion" Haley's voice shook with emotion.
"Haley…I didn't mean it that way"
"You didn't mean it what way, Nathan? Look, I know we're young, and I know we're not at the best age to be parents, but we're married…yah, married, incase you FORGOT. And most married couples I know don't give up or abort their children for the hell of it…it's a baby, it's a living breathing person, I cannot, cannot get an abortion and I will NOT give up my child for adoption…I'll divorce you and move, because I've wanted children since I was a little, little girl and if you're not ready for this baby, then too bad, because I AM" Haley said, shaking slightly with all the tears and emotion she was holding back. She turned around and ran out the door, but Nathan was in such a shock that he didn't know what to do. He went to the window and saw her run in the direction of Brooke's house…at least she wasn't running away.

"Broody Eugene, if you keep kissing my neck, I'm never gonna get my government homework done!" Brooke giggled, knowing fully that she was enjoying it.
"Picturing you as a lawyer is hot" Lucas said, kissing her forehead. "And I'm sorry, baby, I'll let you get back to your studying" he laughed, pulling her into a kiss.
"Its ok" she grinned.
"I thought so" he whispered, kissing her again. She laughed but pushed his head away.
"Don't you have Trig homework?"
"Hmm…lets see…advance placement trigonometry, or Brooke Davis?" Lucas said mock thoughtfully.
"Brooke Davis, duh!" Brooke giggled.
"Brooke…" he laughed, returning to her desk. "How's the Gov homework going?"
"Oh just thrilling" Brooke said sarcastically. "But all A's is my goal this year"
"Very high goal" Lucas said. "I'm impressed"
"Why thank you, Broody" Brooke giggled.
"BROOKE!" Haley burst into Brooke's room in sobs.
"Haley, sweetie, what happened?" Brooke asked, giving Lucas a worried look and putting an arm around her.
"Deb…baby…Nathan" Haley choked out.
"Oh…I see" Lucas said. "Its ok Hales, we're here"
"Thanks" Haley said, wiping her eyes. Her voice trembled as she explained the situation. Lucas's expression darkened considerably as he heard what Deb had said.
"I swear, Haley, if my relationship with her wasn't already on tenterhooks, I would go give her a piece of my mind" Lucas said, putting an arm around his best friend. "But unfortunately, her being my mother's business partner, I don't wanna screw anything, or anybody for that matter, over"
"I know, Luke…thank you" Haley said.
"Hey Hales why don't you crash here for the night? I'll call and let Nathan know you're here" Brooke suggested.
"Really…weren't you and Lucas gonna…?" Haley asked.
"No, no we're taking it kinda slow" Brooke answered.
"Oh…ok sorry didn't mean to pry" Haley said. "Are you sure, Brooke?"
"Of course"
"I should get going" Lucas said.
"No…look if I'm interrupting anything" Haley said. "You guys just got back together and need to spend time…so I'll go"
"No Hales-" Brooke said.
"Seriously…and me and Nathan need to TALK" Haley said.
"Ok…come by ANYTIME if you feel like you need to, ok?"
"Ok…thanks tigger…and Lucas"
"No problem" Brooke said, hugging Haley.
"Bye" Lucas said, hugging her as well.
"Wow…Deb…unbelievable" Brooke said. "It was almost like Karen when we had our pregnancy scare…"
"Yeah" Lucas remembered uncomfortably. "That was interesting"
"What do you think would've happened if I had actually been pregnant?" Brooke asked.
"Well…we would have a baby" Lucas said. "I guess and that would be it"
"So you had no hope that we'd get back together after you found out I was pregnant?" Brooke implored.
"No…I hoped we'd get back together, I just don't think you would've wanted to…you were pretty pissed from what I remember"
"Well finding out your whole life was ripped away and now you had a little person to take care of…pretty upsetting- I'm still not over it" Brooke said timidly.
"Yeah…well what's in the past is in the past" Lucas said, pulling Brooke into his arms. "We can forget about it…you're not pregnant, and we're together and now its all good"
"Its not all good, Luke, what if I HAD been pregnant?" Brooke exclaimed. "Nothings 'all good'"
"Brooke…why do we have to 'what if'?" Lucas asked, sighing. Not another fight.
"I don't know…I'm sorry, I realize I pick fights" Brooke said.
"No you don't…you're just very inquisitive, that's it" Lucas laughed, kissing her forehead. "And if you had been pregnant…I wouldn't have been Dan at all…I would have made a conscientious effort to be in the baby's life"
"I know" Brooke whispered.

"Peyton, will you just talk to me!" Jake asked, banging on her door.
"Go AWAY, Jake…" Peyton sighed. Knowing he wouldn't give up, she opened the door.
"Mama!" Jenny squealed.
"Baby…" Peyton said, tears instantly filling her eyes. She couldn't believe how selfish she'd been. Here was a little baby, calling her 'mama', and she had stormed out because she was a little pissed off. "Look, Jake, I'm so sorry" Peyton said, enveloping her boyfriend in a hug. "So, so sorry"
"No, I'm the one who should be sorry…dumping all this responsibility on you when she's not even your daughter"
"No, she is, she calls me mama, Jake! I'm willing to be her mother…heck, I AM her mother…I love you, ok? And I love Jenny too"
"Peyton, what did I do to deserve you?" Jake whispered. He leaned in to kiss her, but they were interrupted by Jenny's giggly "mama!"
At the Scott's…
"Mom, there is only a certain amount of shit I'm gonna take from you and then I draw the line" Nathan spat.
"Nathan, your life, your basketball, your career is all being thrown away for a petty pregnancy" Deb cried.
"Petty? I beg to differ, mom, because this is my child we're talking about" Nathan exclaimed.
"How do you even know its yours? Didn't she cheat on you with that Chris guy?"
"This conversation is OVER" Nathan yelled. "I cant believe you would even suggest something like that! This baby is mine, and I love him or her or whatever it may be…you had me when you were 19, and I'm 18- almost 19. And mom, I don't care what you say, what you do, and why the hell you're possessed to do it, but I will never, ever give up on Haley, our marriage, and our future. And consider yourself out of it-forever."

Looking at your picture from when we first met
You gave me a smile that I could never forget
And nothing I could do could protect me from you that night
Wrapped around your finger, always on my mind
The days would blend 'cause we stayed up all night
Yeah, you and I were everything, everything to me
I just want you to know that I've been fighting to let you go
Some days I make it through and then there's nights that never
end
I wish that I could believe that there's a day you'll come back
to me
But still I have to say I would do it all again
Just want you to know
"I love this song…" Brooke sighed as she listened to the Backstreet Boys.
"I love you" Lucas said, kissing her forehead.
"Mr. Cheesy" she giggled.
"I am…you know what this song reminds me of, Brooke?"
"What is that, Broody?"
"Us"
"Oh really…and how is that?" she giggled.
"Because when we weren't together, I was fighting to let you go…and I dreamed you would come back….and I wanted SO badly to tell you, but I couldn't, because I was scared" Lucas said.
"Aw…Luke" Brooke said, turning around to kiss him. "I love you"
"Love you too Brooke"
