-Chapter Three-

Haley was sitting on her bed flipping through a magazine when she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. She looked at herself sitting on her bed for a second then stood, walking to her full length mirror, and began to concentrate on the reflection of her belly, which was beginning to show a small buldge. It was time to tell her mother, she had to. Haley had replayed waht she wanted to say to her mother over and over in her head, but now she just came up blank. Walking down the stairs she started to become uneasy wondering how her mother would react to her news. When she reached the living room she saw her mother sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Hey honey. Oh come sit, Casablanca, your favorite."Her mother squealed.

Haley slowly moved to the couch with a small smile. "Mom?" She asked resting her head on the pillow in her mother's lap.

"Yes Haley?" Her mother said stroking her daughter's hair.

"You still love me no matter what . . . right?"

Her mother kissed her daughter's head and whispered to her. "Always."

Haley let out a small sigh and nodded her head slightly. "I know."

"Why do you ask?" Her mother asked looking down at Haley' figure.

Haley sat up and looked in her mother's eyes. "I know you say i can tell you anything, but i don't know how to tell you what i really need to."

Her mother put her hand on her daughter's cheek. "Haley, no matter what it is you can tell me."

Haley let a tear escape from her eyes and slide down her face. "I'm pregnant."

"Oh Haley." HEr mother said tearing up and pulling her intoa hug. "Oh baby."

"I'm sorry mom." Haley saids tears falling. "I didn't mean to hurt you."

Her mother held her close. "No, you could never do that, Haley, never."

-The Next Day At School-

Haley pulled up in her car feel better now that her mother knew that she was pregnant, but one part of her was still feeling guilty. It had been four days since she found out and Lucas, her best friend, her other half, still had no clue. She had managed to dodge him at school, but the days wehn she worked at Karen's Cafe it was almost impossible. Today was the day she would tell him, she needed to tell him. Haley quickened her step as she walked through the halls. She saw Jake coming towards her, from his locker, with a smile.

"There's my baby." He said wrapping his arms around her waist and kissing her lightly.

"Hello." She said smiling to him.

"You look beautiful today." He said putting his hand on her cheek to bring her lips to his once more.

She placed her hand over his, which was still on her cheek, and looked down. "I told my mom."

His face became serious. "What did she say?"

Haley looked yp at him a small smile forming on her lips. "Actually, she took it pretty well."

He released a sigh of relief bringing his arms to his side. "Well, you gotta get to class."

She reluctantly pulled him close. "I love you, Jake."

He looked at her for a second, put his hand back on her face to kiss her quickly and lightly grazed her cheek with his thumb. "I love you, Haley." He had said with more meaning than he ever had before.

Just as the last bell rang, signaling the end of the school day, Haley hurried to her car. She turned the radio's dial as she pulled out of the parking lot, soon arriving at her house. After retrieving the mail and placingit on the counter, Haley hurried up to her room where, oddly enough, Lucas was sitting on her bed, waiting.

"Haley, what did i do?" He asked looking up at her.

'Lucas? . . . " She stated confused. "W . . . what are you doing here?"

"Haley." He said raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing . . . it's nothing."

"Your lying to me." He said locking eyes with her.

She shook her head. "No, i'm not it's just . . . " She stopped herself, moved to her dresser and took out the pregnancy test from one of the drawers. "It's positive." She said tears flooding her eyes.

Lucas stood looking at her with worried eyes. "Hales."

She lookd down at the test. "I'm so scard, Luke. I don't know what to do." Tears began to stream down her cheeks.

He rushed to her and pulled her into a hug. "Hales, no it's okay. I'm here for you." He kissed her temple.

"I need you, Luke." She cried into his shoulder. "I need you here."

He began to notice himself getting choked up. "It's okay, i'm not going anywhere."
