Thanks to all of you for your reviews! They're really, really important to me 'cause that way I can see if I'm going on the right direction or not. This fic is actually all done but I'm posting in parts… but I'm working on a new one and your comments about this fic will say if the next one's going to be posted or not. :D I need cheering up, people:P

A few days passed by and the week was almost ending. Haley hadn't missed any more practices but at the same time her ankle wasn't 100 yet so she hadn't actually rehearsed with the squad as much as she watched them do it so. It was Thursday afternoon and Nathan had gone home for a late lunch with Haley. She had barely touched her food and was already ready to leave home. He was putting the dishes in the sink when he saw his wife ready to go out.

"Where you going, Hales?"

"I'm, uh..." she hanged the purse on her shoulder, "I'm going to see Dr. Barnett."

"Again?" he dried his hands with the cloth, "If I didn't know you better I'd say you're having a thing with that guy" he scoffed, "It's like the third time you go there in less than a week!"

Forcing a smile, Haley shrugged, "He just asked me for some extra exams and I'm going to pick them up, that's all."

"What extra exams?"

"You know, for my upset stomach. To make sure it wasn't food poison."

"You told me he told you it was just a virus" Nathan frowned and got serious.

Haley took a sit on the couch and threw her hair behind her shoulders, "I kinda lied to you..."

"What?" he took a sit on the other couch, looking at her.

"I had been feeling nauseous from before Lucas' dinner party. I just didn't tell you anything cause I wanted to make sure first, but..." she looked down and then up again to him and continued almost on a whisper, "I thought I was pregnant."

"Haley..." he stood up and took a sit next to her, "You could've told me."

"I just didn't want to make a big deal out of it and turn out to be nothing" she got quiet for a moment and went on, "So I when I was at the hospital on Sunday I told that to Dr. Barnett and he asked me for a pregnancy exam but I couldn't wait that long so I bought one of them at a pharmacy and did it. It was negative" she felt Nathan holding her hand tightly, "So I went back there and he confirmed it. But he also said my exam had some alteration and he asked me for more exams to check that out."

"What kind of alterations?"

"On my uterus" she began to get teary, "He didn't tell me exactly but..." she took a deep breath and tried not to cry, "I'm afraid he's gonna tell me I can't get pregnant at all."

She started to cry and Nathan pulled her to a hug, "C'mon, Hales... don't say that. You don't know that yet. Tell you what, I'm gonna call at work and tell them I'm gonna be late. And I'm going with you to see Dr. Barnett. Ok?" he wiped away her tears gently, "We're gonna do this together."

She nodded, "Okay. Thanks" she hugged him again.

Laying on her bed, Peyton was making a sketch and got scared when Brooke walked in unannounced and jumped on her bed to take a sit.

"Whatcha doin', friend?"

"I was trying to concentrate" she said sitting up on the bed, "What brings you here, B. Davis?"

"Rachel bitch" she said sighing, "Can you believe she's still bugging me with that story of kicking Haley out of the squad?"

"Yes, I do. She came to me with that too."

"She did?" Brooke gasped, "She's unbearable!"

Peyton giggled, "Man... she really gets on your nerves, doesn't she?"

"All of them" she said lifting one eyebrow, "Anyway let's not waste our precious time talking about her, let's talk about Haley. What's up with Tutor Girl? There's more there than the ankle, I can feel it!"

Closing her sketch book, Peyton took a deep breath before looking back at Brooke, "Ok... I wasn't supposed to tell you this but I know you care about her. Right?"

"Of course I do!" she answered almost offended.

"You can't tell this to anyone, ok? Not Lucas, not even Nathan."

Brooke crossed her heart with her fingers, "I promise."

"Haley's taking some exams this week. She thought she was pregnant but she wasn't and the doctor asked for some extra exams and now she's kinda freaking out cause she thinks there's something wrong with her."

"Is there?" Brooke asked on a whisper.

"She doesn't know yet. She's going to take the exams' result today."

"Alone? Why doesn't she tell this to Nathan? If there's something wrong with her she shouldn't go through this by herself."

"That's what I told her. But she didn't want to worry him and turn out to be nothing."

Brooke crossed her arms quietly, "Why didn't you go with her?"

"She said she had to do that by herself" Peyton shrugged.

"Oh, I see."

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah" Brooke forced a smile, "I'm fine. So! Wanna go grab something to eat?"

"Sure" Peyton got up, "Just lemme change."

Nathan and Haley had been waiting for Dr. Barnett in his office for ten minutes now. Nathan glanced at his watch and nervously looked at the door.

"What's taking him so long?"

"I think he doesn't believe in time schedule or something cause he's always late" she looked at him for a moment, "Listen, if you have to go back to work..."

"No" he shook his head, "I ain't going until we find out what's going on. Ok?"

She nodded and Dr. Barnett finally arrived. He greeted them and took a sit by his desk, leaning back and taking Haley's exams on his hands. He took a while glancing at them in silence. Much for Nathan's irritation.

"So, doc, can you tell us what does it say?"

"Well" he said putting the papers back on his desk, "The alterations on your previous exam was because you were, once, pregnant. But wasn't anymore when you took the pregnancy test."

Both Haley and Nathan frowned but Haley shook her head, "How's that?"

"You were pregnant for about a week or less, I'm guessing here, and had a minor miscarriage that you probably didn't have any serious problems with it, just the upset stomach and the lost of equilibrium and so on. And that's what appeared as a strange factor on your first exam. But now for what I see in your new one, it's all right."

Haley blinked a few times to try to digest all that while Nathan moved on his chair trying to find a better position, "So... she was pregnant?"

"Yeah."

"But she's not anymore?"

"You're a smart kind of guy" the doctor answered with a smirk.

Waving her hand in the air, Haley leaned foreword, "If I had a miscarriage that means that I... there's something wrong with me. Isn't there?"

"No, not at all" he took the exams back on his hands and glanced it over again, "Not from what I'm seeing here. But we can always take some more specific exams if you want to."

"Then why did that happen?"

Leaning back on his chair, Dr. Barnett sighed, "Probably it was just a formation problem with the fetus, something very common, any woman's open to that. So your body naturally expelled it as a kind of protection. Since you didn't have any complications, I'm sure it didn't affect your uterus in any way either."

Haley looked at Nathan and he held her hand, "You're sure of that?"

"Hey" he smiled, "As long as I'm concerned you two can go home and make the baby right now!"

Nathan looked back at Haley and she laughed relieved, "Thanks, Dr. Barnett."

"Anytime, Haley" he shook her hand after she and Nathan stood up. He shook Nathan's as well and watched as they both left the office.
