A/N: An update!!! Now that's a surprise haha. Enjoy!

It had been about a week since Haley and Liz had their appointment. Genders were found out and baby names had been decided. Now came the bigger issues like what to design the nursery as and what kind of furniture to buy.

"Nathan Scott you are not designing our daughters room into a basketball room!" Haley yelled at her husband.

"Well its better than the idea of baby animals!" Nathan yelled back.

"Baby animals are a lot better than basketball. Were having a girl Nathan."

"A girl who will play basketball." Nathan shouted

"You will force our child into something."

"Who says I am forcing."

Lucas and Brooked walked up to Nathan and Haley's door to hear shouting on the other end.

"Another time?" Brooke suggested

"Definitely." Lucas agreed.

"So you're meeting up with Noah this afternoon?" Peyton asked Liz who was sitting at the kitchen table at Peyton's place.

"Yup." Liz said simply taking a sip out of her tea.

"What are you going to talk about?" Peyton asked taking a seat across from her.

"I don't know, us and Jayda I suppose." Liz replied.

"Are you sure this is such a good idea?" Peyton asked her friend concerned. Liz looked at Peyton over her cup. She sighed and put the cup down on the table.

"I don't know. I just want to work everything out with him so we can raise our baby together." Liz said defeated.

"Maybe you're meant to raise her alone." Liz narrowed her eyes at Peyton.

"Nobody is meant to raise their baby alone."

"All I am saying is that it might cause unnecessary stress that you do not need."

"Peyton maybe you need to butt out." Liz slid out of her chair and stormed out of the house.

Haley sat in the baby's nursery rocking in the plush rocking chair that her parents had sent her. She looked at the simple white walls in disgust. She wanted so desperately for Nathan and her to agree on something during this pregnancy. The baby was due in a few months and the nursery wasn't even close to being finished, there was hardly any furniture because they couldn't agree on what kind to get. Other than that the room was filled with gifts that everyone had given her at the combined baby shower for all three of them. Haley felt her baby kick. She smiled and placed her hand over her stomach.

"What if we paint the walls a pink and buy simple oak furniture?" Nathan's voice filled the room. Haley sat for a few minutes processing the idea.

"I like that." She said

"No characters or themes, just simple and easy." Nathan said kneeling in front of her.

"That sounds perfect." Haley smiled at her husband. Nathan put his hands over her stomach and kissed her forehead.

"I love you Haley and I love you Miley Rose." Haley played with Nathan's hair as he kissed her stomach.

Liz walked in to the coffee shop nervous. She spotted Noah sitting in the corner, drinking a cup of coffee and looking out the window. Peyton's words began to make sense to her. What if this was unnecessary stress? What if she was meant to raise her baby alone? Then again she wasn't alone this time was she. She had her friends that would help her out. She had raised a baby alone before so why couldn't she do it again. She was about to turn and leave when Noah spotted her and waved her over. She cursed at herself and walked over to him.

"You look great." Noah said when Liz got closer.

"Eh thanks." Liz said uncomfortable

"Do you want something to drink?" He asked

"No I am fine." Liz said looking down at the table.

"So how are we going to do this?" Noah asked getting to the point. "You can move in with me. I have plenty of room. Or I can move in with you. It doesn't matter to me." Liz looked up at him. Tears began to threaten her eyes. She couldn't believe what she was about to say.

"I don't want to raise our baby with you." She said quietly.

"What?" Noah asked surprise.

"It wouldn't be right. You can come and visit and take her out for the day but I don't want child support or anything like that."

"I'm the father of this baby. I should have a say in how she is raised. I should have some sort of custody." Noah said getting angry.

"Why the change of heart. You didn't want to be part of it before?" Liz asked.

"Because I love you and I want to marry you and raise our baby together. I was hurt before but I realized that I cant live without you." Noah pleaded. Liz felt hot tears slid down her cheek.

"I don't love you and I can live without you."

"You know what fine! I am done playing this game with you. Raise this baby alone I don't really care but remember you're the one that will have to explain why she doesn't have a daddy. That will be all on you." He whispered the last part and stormed out of the coffee shop. Liz let in a sharp breath. She had done the right thing…right?

Peyton sat at Karen's Café talking with Karen and Andy. She was upset about how Liz had left her house but she knew that she was right. The bell above the door rang. Peyton turned to see Liz walk in obviously upset. She ran over to her and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"You were right." Liz mumbled into Peyton's shoulder. "I should have listened to you and not have bothered."

"What happened?" Peyton led them to a near by table. Karen brought them over some tea.

"I told him that I didn't want to raise our baby together because I didn't love him."

"Oh" Peyton said taking in what Liz had just told her.

"It was the right thing to do. I know it was."

"So he is totally out of your life now?" Peyton asked.

"I think so." Liz replied playing with the rim on her cup.

"I'm sorry it didn't work out for you."

"The funny thing is, is that I'm not."

A/N: eehh ok I am not thrilled with this chapter but I needed one to get to the next. Next chapter will be a few months later. Peyton will go into labour then it will skip a month then Haley and Liz will go into labour...probably not on the same day. Then the chapter after that will be the last one. Prequel...maybe maybe not depends. Review!
