Nathan flipped the cell phone shut and sighed' don't tell her dude just don't! She'll freak and then she'll back out and you will be in big trouble!' they just sat in silence while Nathan let out continuous sighs.
"It can't be that bad" she said hoping to cheer him up 'oh yes it can! 10 hours till all hell breaks loose this is just great!' He thought
"My grandma's daily check up on me can be that bad"
"You sure that's all it was?"
"Isn't that what I said?" he practically yelled, he could have sworn he saw Haley shrink in fear, she'd never seen someone so mad in her entire life and it scared her to death.
"What if your pregnant Haley!" she glared at him and scoffed.
"I'm sorry I just didn't think that someone who "loved me" would react like this, you don't think I know were not ready for a baby hell we aren't even ready for a marriage let alone a baby!" she said using air quotes on the love me part, she got up off the bed grabbed her CD case and CD player and ran towards the bathroom locking the door. Once inside she stuck one of her mixes in the CD player the first song that came on was Here Comes A Regular by The Replacements ( the song from the end of last eppy, I know I'm obsessed!), she sank down against the door and she started crying, she missed Jake and Peyton, and her parents and most of all she missed Nathan which was pretty weird since he was the one that made her cry, but she didn't miss this Nathan who seconds ago looked as if he would kill her then and there she missed the Nathan she used to tutor before he liked her and made her senior year hell. As she sat there crying, with Nathan trying to get her to open up the door she started remembering everything from the night before.
Flashback
"Let's go back to Tric!" Haley said excitedly
"I don't see why you're so excited" Nathan said smiling as he saw how happy one place made Haley
"Shut up Tric is awesome and its open mic night!"
"What happened to shy lil tutor girl?" he asked forgetting she wasn't tutor girl, she was Haley.
"The same thing that happened to nice Nathan, she was only there until you started being an ass!" she bit back deciding she'd go to Tric without Nathan.
"Haley! I'm sorry! I forgot!" he yelled trying to catch up to her as she made her way towards Tric, on foot she was pretty fast.
"You are such an ass!" she screamed behind her trying to be intimidating while walking, more like running to Tric this was hard since Nathan had a good foot and a half on her. He just gave her a nervous smile as they neared Tric.
"I know, and I'm sorry!" he said pulling out a fake id as she did the same he gave her a look
"I've had it forever, let's go, you buying?" she said as they entered Tric
"Of Course"
"Let's go I wanna get drunk!" she yelled
About an hour later-
Nathan was an unnoticed drunk he was totally calm and very sincere, but there was not one ounce of rationality in that boy.
"Why do you love me?" his eyes widened
"What did you say?"
"Why-do-you-love-me?" she said slowly
"You heard that?"
"Of course why would I be asking if I didn't?"
"I dunno, and why I love you I just do!" he said smiling
"OH! I love this song lets dance!"
About another hour and too many drinks to count later-
"We should get married!" Haley exclaimed very proud of herself
"Your right! Cuz I love you and I think you love me too!" he said trying to yell over the music.
A short while later-
Clothes were strung about the room, and Haley had her head on Nathan's chest she was asleep but Nathan was just staring at her not thinking about the consequences of what they had just done even though he had started to sober up a bit.
end of flashback
The last thing she remembered was Nathan kissing her forehead and telling her he loved her which caused her to cry harder than before. She just sat there thinking for what seemed like only a minute but she realized she had probably listened to Here Comes a Regular about twenty times already she slowly opened the door thinking Nathan wasn't going to be there, but he was. He looked so sad with his head in his hands; he hadn't heard her open the bathroom door and he jumped off the bed when she put her hand on his shoulder.
"Haley I'm sorry I never even thought about you its just there too much stuff going on all the pressure from my dad and then the daily call from my grandma it just got to me and I blew up on you and I really shouldn't have, it was probably my brilliant idea to get married in the first place"
"Sometimes all I need is a good cry and I'm fine and as for the one who had the idea to get married your looking at her" he looked at her and new if he didn't tell her now shed be even more off then before.
"Haley when my grandma called it wasn't just a check up she called me to say shed be here tonight" he said looking at his feet, Haley's eyes widened and her mouth fell open but after a second she just had to laugh.
"Do you realize the irony in this, we were gunna have to lie about all the wedding plans and all that crap and now poof no more lies! Well except for the one about when you proposed to me, which would be when exactly?"
"Umm Valentines Day which is when we had our first date"
"You couldn't come up with something more creative?" she was laughing harder when there was a knock at the door. She arched an eyebrow and continued" if this is one of your girlfriends you do realize ill have to kick your ass cuz I'm Mrs. Nathan Scott ,oh god that sounds weird!" she said with another laugh rushing to the door ready to kick some skank's ass.She opened the door with a hi and an older woman flung her arms around Haley.
"Haley dear where's Nathan?"
"Umm in the bedroom, one moment, Nathan would you come here please sweetie?"
"I'm coming but Haley if that's Rachel I never even sl-Grandma!"
After Mae had hugged both Nathan and Haley to death, Nathan excused himself and Haley, leading her into the kitchen as he thought of what to say.
"You really think you could be pregnant? " Haley just laughed
"No"
"What!"
"I think your grandmother just killed it" Nathan wanted to be mad at her for freaking him out like that, but he couldn't keep a straight face, his grandmother was a bit much for most people, especially his girlfriends.
"Seriously Haley" he said chuckling a bit.
"Definitely"
"Well let's just forget about it for a lil bit, I'm not saying it's not important its just we have too many things to worry about and frankly I'm afraid of my grandpa royal"
"This is so messed up" she sighed not thinking he could hear her but he could.
"How?" he gave her the look of concern/question
"Can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence, World Series kind of love, that's what I wanted, that what I could have" she sighed again totally off in her own world ignoring Nathan,' does she mean that's what she could have with me or that's what she could have and she's missing out on it because of me?' he gave her another questioning look and cleared his throat bringing her back to the world Nathan was occupying.
"What are you talking about?"
"Can't eat, can't sleep, reach for the stars, over the fence, World Series kind of love, could we ever have that?" she breathed out in a whisper.
"Why not?" he said actually wondering it while he was saying it. 'Ok sure we've never actually been on a date or anything but we were friends once and… and… I … I love her' he thought to himself smiling after he admitted that he loved her to himself, not out loud questioning it as it was said- he loved her and that was all that mattered. They heard a cell phone ringing and both went into their room to see if it was there's it turned out to be Mae's phone ringing it was royal and he didn't want to go down and visit this weekend because he was visiting Dan, so with a few tears and goodbyes Mae was on her way, but promising to come back in four weeks to the exact minute she left.
Four Weeks Later-Present Day
Nathan and Haley were getting along just fine they just hadn't exchanged those three words just yet. Nathan was in the bedroom of their new apartment watching TV, when Haley came out of the bathroom with a huge smile on her face, pregnancy test in hand, she looked up at him.
"Do you love me?" she said with a smile, which he quickly returned noticing the test in her hands.
"Yes I love you!"
"Good cuz your not gunna love me when I have morning sickness later on, and by the way your not so bad yourself" she said walking away, he was smiling more than ever.
"Nathan, I love you too!" she called from the kitchen.
just think of Mae coming to visit them four weeks ago because at the end of the chapter its present day and whatnot, tell me what you thought much love - Laura
