Author's Note: Oh Goodness! I confused you guys? Then, my job was done well. That was the plan, lol. Anyways-here's the answer to who's pregnant!
Chapter 13: You're Here, There's Nothing I Fear
"Somebody better start talking," Jake warned.
Everybody started looking at each other. Nathan's eyes went from his friend, to his little sister, to his best friend, when realization hit him. He had slept with his best friend.
Lucas' eyes went to Brooke's, wondering if that was why she was sick and Jake looked at his wife, wondering if it was her.
"Don't look at me," Peyton said, "I don't even live here!"
Brooke followed an angry Lucas into his apartment.
"Lucas," Brooke started.
"Brooke, you should've spoken to me even if you didn't think you were pregnant. You should have told me…I would've, like…gone with you to get the test, I would've taken you to the doctor," Lucas rambled.
"Luke…" Brooke started.
"I should've known, you haven't been feeling to well, lately. Damn it! The hints were way to obvious!" Lucas exclaimed.
"Lucas," Brooke said starting to get irritated.
"Brooke, I could've helped you," Lucas whispered. "It's positive Brooke. You need to know I'm always here for you, no matter what. I love you and I'm going to love this baby," Lucas finished.
"Luke—wait, what did you just say?" Brooke questioned.
"I'm going to be here for you and the baby," Lucas repeated grabbing Brooke's hands.
"After that," Brooke whispered.
"I love you and-" Lucas was cut off with Brooke kissing him.
"I love you, too," Brooke said. Lucas smiled and leaned in to kiss Brooke again, but then remembered about their baby.
"Now, how long have you've known that you've been pregnant?" Lucas asked.
"Luke, I've been trying to tell you…I'm not the one who's pregnant," Brooke said.
"Which means…." Lucas started.
"Haley!" they exclaimed in unison.
Peyton and Jake were sitting in the hallway between Lucas and Nathan and Brooke and Haley's apartments, Jenny in tow.
"Why are we waiting here again?" Jake asked burping his daughter.
"Because I want to know which one is pregnant!" Peyton exclaimed.
All of a sudden the door flew open and Brooke ran out of Lucas' apartment and tried to get in her own, to see it was locked and to realize she didn't have her key.
"DAMN!" Brooke exclaimed.
"I take it you aren't the pregnant one?" Jake asked.
"Nope, which means Haley is," Brooke said.
"Who's the father?" Peyton asked.
"Is it you?" Nathan asked.
Haley nodded her head.
"Is it mine?" Nathan once again asked.
Haley looked up and yet again, nodded her head.
Nathan stared at Haley for a few minutes before Haley broke down in tears.
Nathan sighed and went and sat down next to Haley, taking her in his arms, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Haley sighed and sadly shook her head, "I was scared."
"Scared?" Nathan asked and Haley nodded, "Why?"
"Nathan, you have a girlfriend," Haley said, "A psycho girlfriend who threatened your best friend, who stormed out pissed, to come back home, just to storm out again, for you to follow me and we did the one thing we swore we'd never do. Have sex," Haley finished.
"Hales," Nathan said. "I would've been there for you."
"What when I peed on the stick?" Haley asked, which caused a laugh from Nathan.
"For everything. I'm gonna be here for you, no matter what. I promise I'm gonna be the best dad in the world, and we'll be a family. We can get married, Hales, and Brooke can move in with Lucas, and I'll move in here and…" Nathan trailed off.
"Woah-woah…Wait one second. Married? No way," Haley said.
"Hales, don't you want the baby to grow up in a loving environment?" Nathan asked.
"Are you in love with me?" Haley asked back.
Nathan at that point wanted to scream, Yes, but instead shook his head, "No."
"See," Haley said, which hurt more then she'd ever thought. At that point she'd wish he had just said yes, but, it was a fantasy that would never come true.
"Nate-I love you and you love me, we're best friends…the baby will be growing up in a loving house," Haley said, "That is if you want it."
"Of course I do Hales," Nathan said then started laughing.
"Why are you laughing?" Haley said.
"We got married and are now having a baby….our parents are going to love this one!"
"Maybe their doing it," Brooke said laughing.
"How do we even know Nathan's in there?" Lucas asked.
"Cause he's the only one that didn't leave," Brooke replied.
"Well he's her best friend, of course he'd stay," Peyton said.
"Unless it's his," Brooke said.
Everyone looked at one another and ran to the door pounding on it.
"You ready to face the madness?" Nathan said looking towards Haley.
"Eh," Haley said.
"Open the door, guys!" they heard Brooke yell.
Nathan got up and opened the door as their friends ran into the apartment.
"You're pregnant?" Brooke yelled.
"Who's the father?" Peyton challenged.
"Is it Nathan?" Lucas asked.
Everyone looked towards Lucas and he simply shrugged his shoulders at his girly actions.
"Okay, I am pregnant," Haley said standing up, cutting off her friends.
"And yes, it's mine," Nathan said, watching the four faces of their friends become shocked.
After a few good minutes of silence, Brooke screamed, enveloping Haley in a hug, screaming about how she's going to be an auntie, as Peyton joined, telling her about how she's been right forever, and Jake and Lucas hit Nathan on the back, when all of a sudden the four of them stopped and said, "What?"
"What do you wanna know?" Haley said sitting with her friends, after being forced to tell them what happened.
"How you," Brooke said pointing to Nathan, "got you," she pointed to Haley, "PREGNANT!"
"Well, Brooke, you see what happens is a man and a woman—" Nathan started to only get whacked in the head by his younger sister.
"When?" Brooke asked.
"After the Monica fiasco," Nathan answered.
"Are you guys gonna get married?" Peyton asked.
"No," Haley said, "Nathan and I are best friends and we love each other already, so the baby will be brought up in a happy and loving environment."
Nathan smiled grabbing Haley's hand, "And I'm gonna be here every step of the way."
"Why don't you move in here?" Lucas asked.
"Thanks Broody, for so generously giving up my apartment," Brooke said.
"You can move in with me," Lucas said to his girlfriend.
Brooke smiled and turned to her brother, "Move in here!"
Nathan looked towards Haley who shrugged, "What about Monica?"
"I'll break up with her," Nathan said.
"No," Haley said, "Not if you really care about her. I don't want to tie you down."
"Damn it Haley!" Brooke screamed, "She didn't mean it Nathan, dump Monica."
"What if he wants to bring girls here?" Haley asked, "It would be wonderful, he'll walk in with her, see me and Nate will just say, 'Oh, that's my best friend who's also the mother of my child…You wanna go to my room, now?'" Haley finished off.
Nathan laughed, "Hales, I'm not gonna be bringing girls back because of the baby. It's mine just as much as yours. My main priority is going to be the baby," Nathan said.
"Thank you," Haley said tears shining her eyes.
"So, when are you and Brooke going to switch?" Haley said to Nathan.
"As soon as we can," Nathan said, "I want to be here throughout everything, it'll be easier."
"You'll be the most involved, single father of his best friend's baby," Haley said causing a laugh from Nathan.
"So," Nathan said sitting down next to Haley, "How are you dealing with this baby thing?"
"Honestly, good," Haley said, "I mean I always thought I'd be married, but I rather it be you than anyone else if I'm not."
Nathan smiled, "Me too. Are you sure you don't want me to dump Monica?"
"Do you like her a lot?" Haley asked.
Not as much as you, Nathan thought. "It might get there."
Haley smiled sadly, "Then no. You're having a baby, Nathan. I don't want you to give up your life because of it."
"The baby will be my life," Nathan said.
"Not your whole life," Haley said.
"You're right," Nathan said, "You and the baby are."
"Awww, Nate," Haley said hitting Nathan, "That was cute."
Nathan rolled his eyes, "No, for real. Anything you need throughout these next few months, I'm on it. Weird cravings, holding your hair back, needing to have sex, I'm here," Nathan said as Haley whacked Nathan in the head.
"Dumb-ass," Haley said.
"Okay, parentstobe! Let's discuss the move!" Brooke said storming into the apartment, Lucas on her heels.
"Okay, let me go pee first," Haley said.
"You want me to come?" Nathan asked.
"No," Haley said, "Thanks."
"So, Nate. I'm going to start packing and you can move in as soon as I'm done. I mean, seriously, you can take the bed, wait, no you don't want my bed," she giggled. "But you are so, strong. Both of you are, so you can carry it for me!" Brooke said.
Haley came out of the bathroom, and went to stand next to Nathan, "What's going on?"
"Brooke wanted me to keep her bed, but then realized she didn't want me too. Reasons unknown," Nathan said laughing.
Haley immediately started laughing, but soon grasped her stomach and cried out in pain.
"Haley," Nathan said running to her side.
"Something's wrong," Haley got out in a whimper.
"Ok, ok, Haley sit down, Brooke call the ambulance," Nathan said.
Nathan immediately picked up Haley into his arms as she lost her balance, and felt something that would forever change his life, again….Blood.
Author's Note: 134 Reviews. This story is getting me somewhere where I'm realizing that I can write in a way that appeals to others. And in DLS, I have 22 Reviews for a prologue and a chapter. AWESOME! Anyway-
Sadness! 4 More Chapters and an epilogue! This story is the one I'm saddest to see leave because it helped me accomplish alot. Anyway-next chapter, we find out what happened, and we go through some flashbacks of the friends. The flashbacks have nothing to do with the story, but they're used as parts of Haley and Nathan's relationship to show how solid it truly is. REVIEWW PLEASEE! THE QUICKER THE REVIEWS THE FASTER THE UD!
