I kinda of focused on the relationships of everyone in this one. So, yeah. Hope you enjoy.

She had been crying ever since she left and she didn't understand why. Well, of course, she understood why but she just wanted it to stop. Pulling up to her house, she ran inside and hid herself under the safety of her covers. Before she could get comfortable, she heard knocking and with great hesitation, decided to go answer it.

"Nathan, what are you doing here?"

"Haley, listen, I'm sorry about earlier, I was just shocked and scared..." the young boy struggled to find the right words.

"Come on in," she pushed the door open before walking into the living room. "I'm scared too Nathan."

"I know, but why didn't you tell me?"

"I.." she paused. "I didn't want to let it interfere with your life. You have everything going right now and I didn't want to mess it up with a child."

"How would it mess it up, Haley I love you."

"I know you do, but this wouldn't have worked. I want you to have a better future than just changing diapers and feeding the baby in the middle of the night."

"But you could have told me. How far are you?"

"A month," she sighed sadly. He breathed in and out before sitting down on the couch and thinking for a moment.

"Are you gonna keep it?"

"Well," she said, thinking. "Yeah, I mean I couldn't do that to a child and I wouldn't be able to give it up for adoption."

"Oh."

"Nathan, I don't want this on your shoulders. I mean, I know I should have told you, but you have a game coming up and the scouts.." she said, trying to hold back the tears.

"Haley, this is our child were talking about and I'm scared of what to do. Maybe you should.." he said, not wanting to continue the words. Her eyes became saddened by the idea before they slowly turned to hurt and anger.

"I will not have an abortion Nathan!" She yelled angrily.

"Haley, I'm not saying.."

"No Nathan," she argued. "That is what you are saying. I will not and can not do that and you shouldn't have even mentioned it."

"Haley, were fucking 17. We don't know what to do with a baby, let alone where to live or how to finance this-"

"Your right Nathan, we don't, but I would rather it not be murdered," she yelled before the tears started flowing. Nathan wanted to hold her so badly but he knew she would just push him away.

"Nathan, I don't know what to do either. You have no idea how scared I am. I'm so confused and it hurts all the time because I was so afraid you were going to leave me once I left you. Can you believe me? Tutorgirl pregnant?" She tried at humor but found it useless at this point. "I wish it could be fixed Nathan, but all your problems can't just poof away with a snap of your fingers."

"Haley-"

"I take responsibility for this child, as should you," she said sadly. "But if you don't want to, then thats fine too, I understand. Your not ready to be a father just like I'm not ready to be a mother but I don't really have a choice." Nathan tried to wrap his arms around her. "Nathan, just leave please."

"Haley?"

"Nathan please," she begged. He gave her one last glance before heading out the door. He knew the tears were coming but he shook them off, trying to be strong. He knew this wasn't gonna be easy and he also knew that they needed to both think about this. Inside, Haley was already reaching for her phone, dialing a number she knew too well.

"Brooke? I need you to come over," Haley whimpered and when she heard the click, she fell on the couch and let her frustrations out.

"Haley?" Brooke yelled when she walked into the dark house. She looked around and noticed a figure on the couch. "Hales!"

"Brooke, your here."

"Of course I'm here sweetie," she said, looking over at her friend's saddened face. "Tell me what happened." Brooke took a seat on the couch and began to play with Haley's hair.

"Me and Nathan fought," she paused to take a breathe. "About the baby. He said he wanted an abortion and I yelled at him telling him that if he doesn't want responsibility, then I understand and then I kinda..um.. kicked him out."

Brooke looked down at her friend who was now in tears again. "Oh, it'll be okay Hales. I know it will be. He's just going through a rough time with this; hes a teenage father and hes scared, just like you."

"I know Brooke, but I wish that he would just take responsibility for this too. You can't make a baby with just one person," Haley said, teasing on the last part. Brooke laughed at her friend's attempt to make herself laugh. She knew how badly she was suffering.

"Well, just give it time. He'll come around." Haley nodded and rolled over and off the couch.

"Go on home Brooke. I'm just gonna go to sleep."

"Are you sure? I can stay here-" "Brooke, just go. I'll be fine. Thank you though." Brooke smiled and hugged her tightly.

"But if you need anything, I'll only be a call away." With that said, the brunette departed to her own home while the other one retired to her bed.

"Good to be home..." Brooke muttered sarcastically once she was in her room. She heard a knock on her door moments later and went to open it.

She smiled. "Lucas." She opened the door wider to allow him in.

"Hey Brooke, mind if I stay for a while?" She just rolled her eyes and pushed him down onto her bed.

"So, you just decide to come over without a phone call or anything?" He laughed before patting the spot beside him and she laughed before jumping on the bed next to him.

"Are your parents home?" She gave him a 'are you serious' look and he just laughed and kissed her forehead.

"Nathan and Haley got into a fight," Brooke said sadly. She was still upset for her best friend.

"I know, I saw it today."

Brooke nodded a 'no'. "Today, after school, he went to her house and they fought about the baby."

"What?"

"Yeah," she paused. "I was over there just a while ago and she was so upset Lucas, I just..I just didn't know what to do." He wrapped an arm around her and she snuggled closer to him and laid her head on his chest as he rested his head on the pillow behind him.

"I don't know. Let them work it out though. Which, knowing those two, they can," Lucas said hopefully.

"Hopefully," she agreed. He hugged her tighter to his body and she smiled against him. She didn't want to leave his warm body, so she just got as close as she could. "Hey Lucas, do you think that we'll ever be like them?"

"What? Madly in love and unstoppable," he joked. She laughed before turning to look up at him.

"The in love part. I mean I know we just started dating and everything, but I've never felt this strong about someone.." she smiled. "And I like it. It's new."

"I like it too." He grabbed the blanket at the end of the bed and threw it over them. She smiled, with the dimples he loved so much, before he dipped his head down to capture her lips in a slow kiss. She pushed her self up to straddle him. His hand went to her cheek and hers around his neck. She felt his hand travel up her back and she shivered at the touch before they broke apart for air. They were about to go back in for another kiss when Lucas felt his phone vibrate.

"Hey," he said through the phone while Brooke kissed his neck and jawline. He tensed when she reached his pulse and softly kissed it. "Yeah, I'll be there soon." He hung up and kissed her lips.

"I have to go," he told her as she sat up and looked at him. "Mom wants me home."

"I forget that there are parents who care out there," Brooke laughed a little before closing her mouth and smiling at Lucas. "Alright, come on, better get home." She stood up and walked him to her door. "I'll see you later broody." She quickly kissed him on the lips and playfully pushed him out. "Call me!"

Lucas smiled at her before heading to his car as the brunette upstairs was dancing around her room. She fell down on her bed, exhausted before turning to press her face into the pillow he had been laying on. She loved him smell, cologne and his special smell. She giggled to herself. I am crazy, she thought before smiling and changing before heading to bed with Lucas on her mind.

"Coming!" Came a loud voice from inside the house. "Jake?"

"Hey Peyton," a nervous Jake said. "Sorry if I'm bugging-"

"Not at all. Come on in," the blond said and moved aside to let him in. "Whats up?"

"Nothing. I just um.. wanted to ask you something." Peyton nodded for him to continue. "I wanted to know if..you um wanted to go out this Saturday with me, I mean you don't have to or anything-"

"I'd love to Jake," Peyton smiled at him before hugging him. "That would be nice to take a break from all this crazy drama."

"Yeah, I agree," he said before pulling her chin to kiss her. She was shocked but slowly kissed back. She pulled away after a few seconds. "Sorry-"

"No, I like it, It was just sudden," she laughed before kissing him quickly. "So what time on Saturday?" She tried to relieve the tension in the room. She liked Jake a lot and it was awkward at the moment.

"Oh," he said, flustered. "Eight."

"Okay," she smiled. "Eight o' clock then."

"Alright, I'll just go then," he said awkwardly and she smiled. "I'll see you tomorrow." She nodded an okay and hugged him before giving him a quick peck.

"Bye Jake," she muttered once he was out the door and turned to go back to her room to squeal excitedly.

Nathan, who had gone back to his house and locked himself in his room, was concentrating on his thoughts. Its not that he didn't want the child but it was more like he didn't know what to do. He knew Haley was having a lot of trouble with this and he wanted to be there for her but he didn't know what to do. Sure, he could hold her and tell her it would be okay, but would it? He knew less than anyone on how to care for a baby and he figured she didn't know that much either. He sighed and rubbed his temples slowly, trying to ease the headache that had decided to pop up. He knew he would have to take responsibility, after all, it was his child too. He heard a knock on the door.

"Open the door man. I know your in there," Lucas yelled and Nathan rolled his eyes before getting up to answer it. "You look like shit."

"Yeah."

"So, whats going on with you and Hales?"

"Fighting about it again," he said sadly. Lucas looked at his brother with sympathy. He wished they would work this thing out but he understood how confused and scared they were.

"It will get better and its not an it. Its a baby," Lucas told him as he took a seat on the computer chair.

"Yeah, I bet," he said sarcastically.

"Come on man, it will. Give Hales some time, she's just scared, I mean she is the one who's gonna give child birth," Lucas chuckled, trying to lighten the mood.

"Whatever."

"You know, stop sulking. You need to be strong for Haley or at least try. Shes having a hard time with this too, its not just you," Lucas said before walking out the door, leaving a upset Nathan.

What are we gonna do? Nathan thought before trying to get some sleep.

Haley was sitting on her bed watching the TV, changing channels, trying to find a one to take her mind off of everything. She just wanted Nathan to understand how she felt. She knew he would try to apologize to her tomorrow but she didn't know if she could handle it right now.

What are we gonna do baby Scott? she thought as she gently rubbed her flat stomach.

Haley James Scott: Brooke, what the heck? What about the fashion show?
Brooke Penelope Davis: I have the rest of my life for that stuff. Not so much to be seventeen with my friends.
