A/N: I honestly had no idea how to write this whole Damien West thing, but I am always a sucker for redemption, but hopefully this will work out with all of you. I didn't really describe the game because it really isn't important in my story. Now you all might not like this ending, but just give it a chance. I have plans.
Chapter Twelve: Damien West
"When are you going to tell him?" Brooke asks as she enters Haley's bedroom.
"I don't want to talk or think about it right now Brooke. Just leave it be."
Brooke flops down on Haley's bed as Haley fixes her hair.
"I can't just leave it Hales. You're pregnant and you need to tell Nathan."
Haley turns around and looks at her best friend.
"What am I supposed to do? I mean he plays tonight and I have so much going on right now that it is unbelievable. I have to worry about that ass of a man, Damien West and to top it all off I'm hiding a pregnancy. I can't tell Nathan right now. I just can't."
"Haley, I understand your reasoning, really I do. It's not fair to Nathan. He deserves to know especially if you are thinking about terminating the pregnancy."
Haley sighs and shakes her head.
"I'm not doing that. I can't get rid of this baby. I have Andrea and yeah at one point I thought about ending it when I was pregnant with her, but I didn't. I kept her and I have to give this baby the same chance."
"Haley, I love you, okay and I will be there for you and your baby again, but you are forgetting one thing in all of this."
"What is that?"
"Nathan Scott isn't Damien West."
-One's a Number, Three's Family-
Haley was leaning against the wall outside of the school gym when someone from her past approaches her.
"Excuse me, you're Haley right?"
"You know who I am Damien. Don't act stupid."
Damien ignores her and continues to talk
"You look good in blue, it suits you. You know what else would look good on you, me."
"I've been there and done that already and that got me pregnant so no thanks."
Damien's smirk turned into a frown.
"Where is it anyway?"
Haley turns around and glares at Damien.
"You have no right to even think about that."
"I think I do. I mean it's my kid isn't it? Where is it?"
"She is currently being taken care of far away from here. I didn't want her seeing you and vice versa. You're not her father and you won't ever be."
Damien ignores her once again and starts to smirk.
"Come on baby, you can give me another go."
"I think you are out of your league," Nathan says as he walks up to Haley.
"Nathan Scott."
"Wait, you two know each other," Haley asks in shock.
"From High Flyers, you still missing your free throws, West?"
"Who cares, they don't show free throws on sports center. You know what else they don't show, Ravens. I heard you guys lost your shooter so I guess your season's over."
"No, I don't think so."
"Unless you win this tournament you're not making post season and you're not going to win this tournament because we are and we're undefeated."
"For now. Let's go Hales."
"I'll see you on the court Scott and Haley tell my daughter I say hello."
Nathan turns to Haley as they walk away.
"Damien West is Andrea's father?"
Haley nods her head.
"I really hate that guy."
Haley chuckles.
"Go play, we can talk later."
Nathan leans forward and kisses Haley.
"I love you."
"I love you, too," Haley whispers as Nathan runs inside of the gym.
-One's a Number, Three's Family-
Damien watches as Haley crosses her arms over her stomach as she slowly walks into the gym. Damien just shakes his head because Haley had used to do that a lot while she was at Oak Lake and a lot while she was pregnant. He knew that Haley and Nathan were together, but if Haley was pregnant, he also knew that Nathan would be out of his mind right now, but instead he's focused on the game. Damien grins and walks up to Haley.
Damien wraps an arm around Haley.
"How does it feel knowing your man's season ends tonight? Or maybe he's life considering you're pregnant."
"Don't count on it," Haley says unconvincingly.
Damien leans in and smells Haley's hair.
"You smell great. I can't wait to see how you taste."
Haley turns and pushes Damien in the chest.
"Get off me!"
"Its okay, give into it baby."
Dan steps down from the bleachers and walks up to Damien. He didn't like what he had just seen.
"Hey Damien West, Dan Scott," Dan holds out his hand. "That's Mayor Dan Scott and if you ever Haley again, I will end your career. Have a good game."
-One's a Number, Three's Family-
The game was coming to a close. There were only a few seconds left on the clock.
"Now way, nobody fouls him, he's mine!" Damien yells to his team.
Nathan drives the ball to the end of the court with six seconds left he takes a shot and Damien fouls him. The shot counts and the game is tied and there's a foul on Damien West. Nathan gets one free throw to win the game and no time on the clock.
"You got nothing Scott, nothing," Damien taunts.
Nathan shoots the ball while looking at Damien and makes it in. The Ravens win.
-One's a Number, Three's Family-
Damien approaches Haley with hesitantly. He honestly didn't know what he was doing, but he just needed to speak with Haley.
"Haley, can I talk to you?"
Haley turns away from the cheering going on around her.
Haley walks out of the gym and stands outside. Damien stands next to her. They stood in silence for a few moments before Damien spoke up.
"I treated you like crap."
Haley doesn't speak. She just continues to look at the parking lot.
"I'm not a good guy. I know that and you know that, but a child was never what I wanted. You told me you were pregnant and I just left and I acted like an ass and I'm sorry. I just want to know one thing."
Haley turns to Damien.
"What's that?"
"Are you two okay, financially I mean?"
"It's been four years and you ask now?"
"I'm trying Haley."
"We're fine, but she doesn't know who you are and I love Nathan."
"I never said you didn't. When I heard we were coming to Tree Hill for the tournament I was hoping to see you. I have something for you," Damien digs through his bag and pulls out papers and hands them to Haley. "I was never there and I don't deserve any rights over Andrea. So I thought making it legal would be better."
Haley looks over the papers and gasps. Damien was terminating his parental rights.
"I know it's not much, but I figured that this way, Andrea could have a father that wants her, someone like Nathan."
"How did you know her name?"
"I never forgot about you or her and if you have the kind of connections that I have it isn't hard to find out the name of my daughter or your daughter."
Haley nods her head as she places the papers in her purse.
"You won't hear from me again I swear."
Haley hands Damien a picture. Damien takes the picture and smiles slightly. It was a picture of Andrea from her birthday party.
"Thank you for this."
Haley nods her head.
"You should tell him. It's the right thing to do. I mean I was an ass before you slept with me and you knew that, but you still told me. Nathan deserves the right to know."
-One's a Number, Three's Family-
Nathan and Haley were sitting on the couch. Andrea was in bed sleeping and Brooke was at Jakes. Haley had asked Brooke to leave the apartment so she could tell Nathan what has been going on lately.
"We won, I can't believe it," Nathan says in shock. "It was tough. Damien is a good player. He's an ass, but he's a good player."
"Nathan, I have to tell you something."
"I hate that he's Andrea's father. She deserves a dad that isn't an ass you know."
Nathan continues on his rant and Haley was slowly losing her confidence in telling Nathan.
"Nathan!"
Nathan looked at Haley in surprise.
"I'm trying to tell you something."
"Sorry," Nathan apologizes.
"You have to know that I didn't want this to happen, but it did and there is nothing that I can do about it because I won't end it period. I didn't with Andrea and I won't know. I don't know how you feel about it and I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do."
Nathan places a hand on Haley's arm. Haley stops talking.
"I only got half of what you said," Nathan states with a smile. "You have to tell me what's going on."
"I'm pregnant."
And the smile leaves Nathan's face.
