"Noah…"
"Liz is that you?" Noah shouted through the phone.
"Yeah its me." Liz strained to hear. There was a commotion of people on the other end.
"Can this wait until later, I'm a little busy right now."
"Sure it can wait." Liz put her hand over her stomach. She heard the click of a phone. She looked at her phone in slight disbelief. Noah had just hung up on her. Liz let her head relax against her headrest in the car. She pushed the thought out of her head. She had better things to think about like Jaiden coming home and telling her stories of the first day of school and going to the café for dinner with the rest of the gang to hear the sex of Peyton and Jake's baby. She threw her car in reverse and went back to work.
Brooke arrived home from work to see Lucas working on some plays.
"Hey coach." Brooke said coming up behind him and nibbling on his ear.
"Not now Brooke I need to finish these plays." Lucas groaned.
"Nathan can finish them."
"No Nathan can't these are mine and I need to finish them."
Brooke walked in front of Lucas and ran her hands down his chest.
"I have my cheerleading uniform in the attic and I'm sure that it still fits. You can play the dirty basketball coach and I can play the horny cheerleader." Brooke suggested.
Lucas looked at her and laughed.
"I can come back to these." Brooke let out a giggle and threw herself against Lucas. She wrapped her legs around his waist. He kissed her and tried to make his way up the stairs at the same time.
Peyton let out an exasperated scream; she was trying to fit into a pair of pants.
"What's the matter?" Jake asked calmly coming into the room.
"These pants don't fit. I just bought them the other day. I hate that I am getting fat."
"Peyton your pregnant. You're bound to get…bigger." Jake said choosing his words carefully.
Peyton took off the pants and threw them at Jake.
"You did this to me!" She found a pair of sweats and put them on. She went to storm out of the room but Jake caught her arm and pulled her close to him.
"I find you amazingly beautiful when you're mad at me." He gave her a soft passionate kiss
"I think that I just forgave you." Peyton said kissing him back. "I do want to have this baby with you. I just get frustrated with all the changed my body are going through and it is so easy to blame you." Peyton continued playing with the buttons on Jake's shirt.
"I know how it is. I already have a child, which we need to go pick up." Jake kissed Peyton's forehead and led her out of the room by her hand.
"NO NO NO! This cannot be happening. It's to soon!" Haley yelled through the empty house. She paced the house biting her nails.
"How am I going to tell Nathan?"
"Tell Nathan what?" Haley spun around to see Nathan standing in front of her.
Liz sat at her kitchen table waiting for the bus to drop Jaiden off. She flipped her cell phone open then shut it a couple of time. She knew that she needed to tell Noah sooner rather than later, she was just trying to find the strength to make that call. She finally decided just to do it.
"Hello?" The line was quieter then the last time.
"Noah it's Liz we have to talk."
"Ok" Noah said in almost a bored tone.
"I have some news to tell you."
"Liz get to the point." Noah said getting irritated.
"Maybe I should tell you in person."
"Or maybe you can tell me right now."
"I'm pregnant."
"With Nathan's baby."
"NO!" Liz said hurt and angry.
"It's mine then."
"Of course its yours, Nathan and I are in the past."
"OK I believe you."
"We should talk about what happened at the wedding…"
"Listen tell me when you have it and I will start sending checks." With that the line went dead.
Liz hung up her phone just in time for Jaiden to come running through the door.
"HI MOMMY! You will never guess what I did today. I colored with Jenny and I played blocks with this boy named Teddy who is now my boyfriend. Can you believe it Mommy I have a boyfriend, wait until I tell Daddy."
"That wonderful. Do want a snack."
"Sure." Liz got up from her chair and listen to Jaiden tell her the story of her day while she got her snack ready.
"Haley what is going on?" Nathan asked Haley not moving from his spot.
"Remember when we talked about starting a family?"
"Yeah."
"Well that time is here."
"What are you talking about?"
"Nathan were having a baby."
Nathan stood shocked for a minute. Haley walked up to him and he opened his arms to her.
"Were having a baby." Nathan repeated holding his wife close.
Lucas and Brooke laid in each other's arms.
"I think we should start getting ready." Lucas said playing with the rings on Brooke's hand.
"No let's lay here for a few more minute, these are my favorite times."
"I liked the game we played." Lucas said looking at the clothes scattered across the floor.
"I thought you would." Brooke said laughing.
"Ok lets go before were late." Lucas said pulling Brooke out of bed.
"I don't want to." Brooke whined.
"Come on, we can shower together."
Peyton and Jake walked up to the café with Jenny. They saw everyone, Brooke, Lucas, Haley, Nathan, Liz, Jaiden, Karen, Andy, and Deb.
"Ok don't waste any time." Brooke said jumping up once they walked in the door.
"Were having a Tristan Jacob Jagielski." Peyton said smiling
"Woo that's a mouth full." Lucas said.
"YOU'RE HAVING A BOY!" Brooke screamed jumping up to hug them both. Everyone was else started in with his or her congratulations.
"We have more news so everyone please calm down. Jake and I talked about it and we decided on making Brooke and Lucas the god parents."
"You guys are going to make me cry." Brooke said hugging them again.
"That an honor that I would love." Lucas said
Nathan gave Haley a nudge and Haley gave him a small nod.
"Since were sharing great news Nathan and I have some also." Haley said standing on a chair. Everyone turned their attention toward them.
"We are also having a baby. I found out today."
"Hales that's amazing." Lucas said hugging Haley then Nathan.
"You hear that Jaiden you're going to be a big sister again." Liz whispered in her ear.
"Mommy you should share your news then." Liz had already explained to Jaiden that she was having a baby and the responsibly that she would have being a big sister.
"Not now hunny. Some other time."
"No now is perfect."
Liz stood up.
"Well since everyone else is sharing their news…"
"Your pregnant too." Brooke said looking at her.
"Yeah I am, I also found out today."
"OK now I need coffee." Karen said making her way around the counter.
"I feel so left out." Brooke joked.
"Don't rush things." Lucas said.
"Does Noah know." Brooke asked, her smile falling a little
"I told him today over the phone." Liz said looking at her feet.
"What did he say?" Nathan asked.
"Oh he said that…he said to call when I have it so he can start sending checks. Excuse me." Liz fought her way out of the café crying.
"What wrong with Mommy, Daddy." Jaiden asked Nathan.
"Don't worry kid, she will be fine."
Liz ran out of the café and slid down the nearest wall sobbing. She pulled her legs up under her chin. She heard the door open again and felt someone sit next to her.
"It's a hard thing when the father of your baby leaves you." Karen's voice said.
"What am I going to do? I never thought that I would have to do this alone again."
"But you're not alone this time. You have all of us." Karen said pulling Liz close to her. Liz cried on Karen's shoulder while Karen held her close telling her that everything would be all right.
