"Baby Dan's a jerk, you know that." Nathan said to his wife as he held her.

"I know I just…he hit a soft spot." She said wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Shh…I know baby. I know." He said kissing her softly on her head.

"Mrs. Scott." Dr. Rodriguez said as she entered the room. "How are you feeling today?" She said as she picked up the folder at the foot of Haley's bed.

"Okay. Um…doctor, when will I be able to go home?" She asked.

"Well…" the doctor started as she looked down at her notes. "Your vitals are good, all your test have come back good the only thing left to do is the sonogram of your uterus to see if there are any lasting effects."

Haley looked down at her hands. "Oh. Um…but after I take that test can I go home?" She asked.

"You sure can." She said with a smile. "How about we schedule the exam for tomorrow morning and then hopefully by noon, you can be out of here? How does that sound?"

"Great. I'd really like to lay in my own bed." Haley told the doctor.

The doctor smiled at the young couple. "Well I'll go get everything worked out. Your husband can sign everything while you're in your exam and then when you get out all you have to do is change and go." She said smiling before heading towards the door.

"Thank you doctor." Nathan and Haley said as she walked out the door.

Nathan & Haley's Apartment

Next Day

"So Tutor Girl how does it feel to be back home?" Brooke asked as she served three margaritas.

"Good. I'm glad to be back in my own clothes." She said sighing happily as she laid out on the floor eating chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream from the container.

"Yeah if I had to see you in that thing one more day I was going to burn it." Brooke said with a laugh as she handed Peyton and Haley their margaritas.

"So what are we watching first?" Peyton asked as she flopped down next to Haley.

"Umm what about 'Cruel Intentions'?"

"Great. Sarah Michelle Gellar is AWESOME in this movie!" Brooke said agreeing.

Peyton popped in the DVD and pressed play on the remote. "Yeah and Ryan Philippe is so HOT!"

"Oh yeah!" Haley and Brooke agreed as the movie began.

River Court

"So how's Haley doing?" Jake asked as he shot the basketball.

"She seems okay but I know she's not. The other night I heard her crying in her sleep." Nathan answered as he caught the ball and slammed it into the net.

"Yeah that's Haley. Says she's fine cause she doesn't want anyone worrying about her." Lucas said as he grabbed and dribbled the ball a bit.

"That girl never learns, man." Skills said as he stole the ball from Lucas and shot it into the basket.

"What do you guys mean?" Nathan asked as he grabbed the ball and then went to sit on the picnic table next to Mouth.

"Just Haley has a history of trying to play things off so that the people around her don't get worried." Mouth said.

"Only it makes you worry more, cause you know something's wrong." Junk finished.

Nathan only nodded.

"Yeah home girl's always been a bit crazy like that." Fergie said as he took a drink of his water.

"She's always trying to fix shit too." Skills said hitting Lucas on the arm. "Right man?"

Lucas, Skills, Fergie, Junk and Mouth all laughed. Nathan and Jake just looked on.

"What do you mean by that?" Nathan asked.

"It's just…when we were like twelve Haley had decided that Western medication wasn't good in anyway. She became like some crazy hippie/herbal freak. She started using herbs and teas and stuff for EVERYTHING." Junk said with a laugh.

"Yeah well one day we were all rollerblading and I fell, twisted my wrist. It hurt really bad so the guys were going to help me home so I could go to the doctors." Lucas says.

"Home girl wouldn't have any of it." Fergie said shaking his head.

"Oh man…what'd she do?" Nate asked with a smile.

"She grabs a bottle of water and pours all the water out on the dirt, to make mud. She grabbed some leaves and with the mud made me this weird cast thing." Lucas said laughing. "Man when I got home and my mom say she laughed so hard. "When I told my mom what happened she took me to the doctors, turned out I had fractured my wrist. The doctor gave me this blue cast and everything. The next day I went to school…everyone was signing my cast…and when Haley saw she got so mad that I had betrayed her that she wouldn't talk to me for a month. She refused to sign my cast and everything." Lucas said shaking his head at the memory.

"When she saw that we'd all signed it…she stopped talking to us too." Mouth said laughing.

"Yeah that sounds like Haley…stubborn as ever." Nathan said with a laugh.

"Haley's one crazy chick." Jake said laughing.

"Yeah but she's a cool girl too. She's like everyone's best friend." Skills said.

"Yeah she's great." Mouth agreed.

"Yo Nate. You know she's like a sister to us all right?" Skills told him.

"Yeah man I know."

"So you also know that if you ever hurt her…we'll beat your ass." Junk told him.

"Man if I ever hurt Haley I'd beat my own ass." Nathan told them seriously.

"Man I'll never forget the day my grandpa died." Skills said sadly. "We were ten years old. I was getting ready to head over here like everyday and my moms tells me to go wake him up. When I get to his room, he's not breathing. Ambulance came and everything. He'd died in his sleep. About and hour later, Haley shows up, chipper as usual, wondering where I'd been. I told her what happened and she grabbed me, and just gave me this huge hug. She said she'd be right back. Three hours later she shows up at my front door a mess. I mean…she had flour and sugar all over herself, in her hair. She had cake icing on her face." Skills chuckles. "She had ran home and made me and my mom cupcakes to make us feel better. She said whenever she was sad her mom would always make her cupcakes and she'd feel better." He said shaking his head. "For two weeks straight she'd come to my house and just sit with me. We wouldn't say anything, just sit. Finally at the end of the first week she grabbed my hand and pulled me to the river court, were all the guys were playing and said… 'Skills this is your life. Your grandpa wouldn't want you at home, moping. He'd want you here, living your life with your friends.'" He told them.

Everyone was quiet. "Damn."

"Yeah Haley was the best." Skills said looking at Nathan. "She's family dwag, and if you hurt her…I'll kill you."

Nathan just nodded.
