A/N: So I feel like I'm updating this story once every month and I apologize for that. Things have gotten in the way and my other stories I have been more interested in, but I have plans for the next couple of chapters so expect some more updates coming bi-weekly. I don't know for how long, but hopefully you will.

Chapter Eleven: It Will Be Different This Time

Nathan and Haley were cuddled up on Haley's bed with Andi sleeping peacefully in between them. The three had been watching a movie while Jake, Jenny and Brooke had taken over the living room.

After Nathan and Haley had told each other how they felt things had progressed naturally with them as a couple.

After having Andi, Haley had swore to herself that if she were to ever have sex again that she was going to be prepared so she had been on the pill ever since even though she had no boyfriend.

A few weeks ago, she and Nathan had taken that next step. They were both prepared. Nathan didn't want Haley in the same situation she had been three years or so prior. He loved her and if something had happened he would be there, but nothing did so he was happy. Plus they had Andi and that was all they really needed.

Tomorrow was going to be a big day for everyone because it was Andrea's fourth birthday and she was super excited about it. Any chance she got she would talk about it. Nathan and Haley had planned the party together and couldn't wait to see the look on the little girl's face.

-One's a Number, Three's Family-

Nathan and Haley opened their eyes at the same time the next morning. They looked down at the girl sleeping soundly between them. They smiled and slowly got out of bed and walked into the kitchen.

"How'd you sleep?" Nathan asks as he heads to the refrigerator to pull out eggs for breakfast.

"I slept well," Haley says with a grin. "I mean who wouldn't. My daughter slept peacefully and the man that I love was right there next to me."

Nathan grins and pulls out a pan for the eggs and a pan for the bacon. He turns and faces his girlfriend.

"I felt like that too. Anyways, my mom sent me a text last night and she said that she was going to set up the party at 10 and considering it's already 10:30 I'm sure she's still going at it. Karen said that she was going to go over and help as well. All we have to do is just show up."

Haley walks over to her boyfriend and wraps her arms around him.

"How did I get so lucky?"

Nathan grins and drops a kiss to Haley's head.

-One's a Number, Three's Family-

"Momma, I'm four, I'm four," Andi says as she comes barreling out of the room.

Nathan had just placed their food on the plates. Haley turns and picks up her daughter.

"My, you are such a big girl aren't you?" Andi nods her head enthusiastically.

"I'm a big girl."

"Of course you are squirt, but I just made you some birthday breakfast so sit down and eat okay?"

Andi smiles and takes a seat next to her best friend. Nathan looks at Andi with a confused expression.

"Why are you sitting here? I figured you would sit next to your momma."

"I'm the birthday girl. I can sit where I want," Andi says firmly.

Brooke had just come out of her bedroom and smiled at the sight of the little family she saw before them.

"Yeah Nathan, it's her birthday. She can sit where she wants."

"Aunt Brooke, I'm four!"

Brooke leans down next to Andi and places a kiss on her cheek.

"I know you are sweetie. Happy birthday," Brooke looks at the plates on the table. "Did you make me any?"

Haley looks at Nathan with a raised eyebrow.

"It's on the stove," Nathan says before shoveling eggs into his mouth.

Brooke squeals and hugs Nathan.

"You're the best."

"I know," Nathan says after swallowing. "I'm always the best."

"Yep," Andi agrees.

Nathan grins and holds out his fist. Andi fist bumps him with her tiny fist. Haley rolls her eyes, but secretly loved the way that Nathan and Andi interacted.

-One's a Number, Three's Family-

"Nathan is good for them you know," Karen mentions before taking a sip of her coffee. She had just spent the morning helping Deb set up Andrea's birthday. She was hesitant at first because of Dan, but everyone was slowly starting to get along so it wasn't as bad as she thought it was going to be.

"I'm glad. For the longest time I worried about him. I wondered if he was sleeping with a bunch of girls and not having any care in the world about it. But since that dinner where we were introduced to Haley and Andrea, they both quickly fell into my hearts and I know that Andi is in Dan's. They guy turns to mush when she's around him."

Karen laughs at that. If anybody could make Dan turn to mush it would be Andrea.

"Andi has that way with people. I think that's how she got into Nathan's heart so quickly."

"Nathan's a good man and I'm proud of who he is becoming. I think Haley has a lot to do with it."

"That girl has been down a tough road. I've known Haley since she was little. Haley, Lucas and Brooke were like the three musketeers. They were inseparable. When Haley found out she was pregnant she was so scared to tell anybody," Karen shakes her head. "She hadn't told me yet, but I walked into the living room in my home and all three of them were sitting on the couch. Haley had come over and wanted to talk to them. Lucas was helping Brooke with her math and I was in the kitchen, but I was curious. She told them she was pregnant and Lucas and were Brooke were there for her."

"Wow, I never realized they were all so close."

Karen smiles at the blonde haired woman.

"Yeah, Lucas spent a lot of time with Haley while she was pregnant and for the longest time I thought that Lucas had a thing for her, but it was Brooke and then it was Peyton," Karen says with a laugh. "Brooke was with Haley when Andrea was born and she moved in with Haley right away. She wanted to help her best friend and she did. And now there's Nathan, so we'll see how that plays out."

-One's a Number, Three's Family-

Haley had asked Nathan to take Andi to his parents' house without because she had to stop somewhere to get a few personal things. Nathan didn't mind and neither did Andrea. When Haley arrived at the house she spotted all her friends hanging around the yard. Brooke was talking with Peyton. (Haley had told Peyton her story a few weeks prior). Nathan was watching Andrea bouncing around in the bounce house that Haley rented for the occasion. Deb, Karen and Dan were having a civilized conversation and Jake and Lucas were watching the bounce house as well. Jenny was inside playing with Andrea.

Brooke spotted her friend and was instantly worried. She knew something was going on, but she didn't want to bring it up. Not yet. She was hoping what she thought it was in her mind wasn't true, but Haley had acted like this once before.

Haley put on a smile and walked up to her boyfriend.

"How's she doing in there?"

"She's having a blast. Is everything okay?"

Haley smiles and nods her head.

"Yeah, it is. I'm going to go inside and get the cake ready."

-One's a Number, Three's Family-

Cake was eaten. Presents were open and Andrea was tired. She was currently sitting on the floor with a blanket and pillow as well as Jenny. A movie was put in so the girls could wind down from their adventurous day.

Nathan, Lucas, and Peyton were all sitting on the couch enjoying the movie as well.

Deb, Karen and Dan offered to clean up against Haley's wishes.

Brooke had been keeping a close on her friend and decided that now that everyone was preoccupied she would confront her.

Haley was walking back into the house while holding a bag close to her chest.

"What are you doing?"

Haley shrieked and almost lost the bag in her hand.

"Brooke, what are you doing?"

"I'm worried about you," Brooke says in a gentle tone.

"There's nothing to worry about," Haley said. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to use the bathroom."

Haley starts heading to the bathroom, but Brooke's words stop her.

"And wait for five minutes."

Haley froze and turned towards her friend.

"I don't know what you are talking about."

Brooke sighed and walked closer to her friend.

"Let me wait with you."

Haley bit her lip and nodded her head.

"I'm scared."

"I know."

-One's a Number, Three's Family-

Five minutes later and both girls were in the locked bathroom. Haley was resting her head against Brooke's shoulder trying to hold her tears.

"I can't do this again Brooke. I can't do this again. What am I going to do? I can't do this."

"Haley, you have to do this again. This time it will be different. You'll have Nathan. He's a good guy Haley. He's not like that ass Damien."

"I'm scared."

"I know you are. When are you going to tell him?"

"He has the tournament next week. I have to let him focus on that. I just I don't know what I want to do right now."

"Um, Haley isn't the Ravens going to play Oak Lake Academy."

Haley groans.

"God Damn it. This can't get any worse," Haley says while she looks at the floor between her and Brooke.

A positive pregnancy test was lying between them.

A/N: I wonder if any of you say that coming before reading this chapter. I hope not, because I wasn't really planning this at all, at least not for awhile. But I got bored and decided to speed things up a bit.

There is plenty of drama ahead, especially with the tournament coming up and Haley's chance of facing Damien West again.

Haley has to make a decision about her pregnancy. Will she tell Nathan or won't she? What is she planning on doing? Things like that. So expect some drama.
