Then Brooke's eyes turned away from Haley; and to the little girl asleep in her arms.
Lucas walked up to Haley and gave her a huge hug, before lifting the girl out of her arms.
Thank you Haley mouthed to Lucas, and he smiled. Brooke took Haley's arm and they walked to the table.
"We have soooo much catching up to do." Brooke said happily.
"That we do tigger. That we do." Haley told her best friend.
Everyone said their hellos to Haley, except for the one person she wanted.
Lucas laid Julie on the two chairs and put his jacket over her, before walking over to Haley.
"We didn't think you were gonna come." Lucas said, putting his arm around his best friend.
"And not see my two favorite people?" Haley asked, putting her head on Lucas' shoulder.
Lucas felt Haley tense up, and he averted his eyes from hers, looking up.
"Nathan." Haley said quietly as Lucas took his hand off of her back and squeezed her hand before walking away.
"You---you look great." Nathan told her, smiling ever so much.
"Yea." Haley mumbled "You too."
"Who are you here with?" Nathan asked her.
Haley sighed and turned o walk away, Nathan grabbed her arm.
"Nathan. Let go." She demanded.
He took his hand away and watched her walk away.
The rest of the night, Nathan and Haley avoided each other. And everyone realized they were doing it. When Nathan went to talk to Lucas, Haley would turn and walk away. When Haley went to get a drink, Nathan would look the other way.
At the end of the night, almost everyone left the gym.
Haley was going to get her coat and Julie from the table, and she heard footsteps behind her.
"Haley." Nathan said, she could hear the pleading in his voice "Haley we can't keep doing this."
"Doing what Nathan?" she asked bitterly
"Avoiding each other Haley. I want to talk to you, I want to see you." Nathan said quietly.
"You're a little late for that Nathan, don't you think?" she asked him.
Nathan took a deep breath "Your daughter….who's is she?"
"It's not the time Nathan." She told him, trying to hide the pain in her voice.
Nathan turned to walk away, but Haley saw the small gesture h gave her before he walked out the door to the parking lot.
Haley picked up Julie and put her coat on, before starting out the door.
"Great." Haley mumbled to herself as she saw the snow covered parking lot "No one said it was supposed to snow."
Haley put her arms tighter around her daughter and started to walk carefully to the car. A few seconds later, she felt Julie's weight being lifted and she looked up, expecting Lucas.
"Nathan, it's okay." She said protectively as Nathan cradled Julie in his arms and walked to her car.
Nathan opened the door and put Julie in her seat, buckling her up, then he turned to see Haley, staring at him.
"Goodnight Hales." He said, giving her a small smile before leaning forward and kissing her lightly on the cheek.
She didn't say a word, she just watched him walk away.
Haley got in the car and drove back to the hotel; she got Julie to bed and went outside, sitting on the chair, thinking about her life. Was it really what she wanted? Should she have left? Was she better off? Or was it the worst mistake of her life?

The next morning, Haley and Julie went over to Karen's house.
Julie knocked on the door, her mom in back of her.
"Tutorgirl!" Brooke yelled when she opened the door. Julie, startled, took her mom's leg.
"It's okay sweetie." Haley said with a laugh, following Brooke inside.
"We're just putting lunch on the table." Brooke told her.
Haley walked into the kitchen to see Lucas and Karen.
"Haley!" Karen said happily, running over to her. "Oh sweetheart, you look great."
Haley smiled "You do too."
Haley sat at the counter and Julie was on her lap.
A few minutes later, Haley heard the back door open and heard little footsteps running into the kitchen.
"Mommy! Mommy!" both kids called. One child running to Karen and the other to Brooke.
Haley smiled and looked at the children.
"Haley. This is Noah." Brooke said, picking up the young boy and placing him on her lap.
"Hey buddy." Haley said with a smile.
"Hi." Noah said happily.
"I'm Lily!" Haley heard the little girl say from Karen's waist.
"Hello Lily, I'm Haley." Haley told her.
"I'm older then Noah!" Lily pointed out.
Haley laughed and Julie looked up and the kids.
"This is Julie." Haley said.
Julie gave a small smile to Noah before digging her head in her mom's chest.
"Julie honey" Brooke said "Why don't you go out back with Noah and Lily to play basketball?"
Julie looked at her mother, and Haley nodded, lifting Julie off her lap.
The three kids ran out back.
Karen left to go out with the kids so it was just Lucas, Brooke, and Haley
"She loves basketball" Haley pointed out to her friends.
Brooke and Lucas both looked at her, she knew what they were thinking.
"How do I tell him?" Haley asked, her eyes filling with tears.
Brooke caught her breath and put her arms tight around Haley.
"We'll figure it out Haley. Don't worry." Brooke promised
