Haley rolled over in the morning to see Nathan lying next to her. Unlike most nights they hadn't made love last night because she had been feeling so poorly. She insisted to Nathan that it was just the stomach flu and that it would surely pass by the next morning, but how she was wrong.
"Haley?" Haley walked out of the bathroom again and laid down on the bed exhausted. "Haley sweetie what's wrong. We need to get you to a doctor." Nathan was very worried about Haley. She'd been getting sick for the past couple hours and was sweating.
"Nathan i promise i'm fine." Nathan didn't believe her though and Haley could tell. She gave Nathan a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Alright," he said giving in. "Is there anything I can get you?"
"Yeah actually an apple would be great." Nathan raised an eyebrow at Haley.
"Haley you hate apples i thought." Haley knew this, but for some reason she was absolutely craving one.
"Well i just really feel like one today."
"Haley what's really going on?" Nathan looked at Haley, but she turned away unable to look him in the eye. "Haley look at me."
"Nathan it's nothing," she said trying to break free of his grasp. Suddenly Nathan realized something.
"Wait a minute Haley. Throwing up and craving apples. Oh my god are you pregnant?" Haley looked sadly at Nathan with tears in her eyes.
"I don't know. I took four tests yesterday and half were positive and half were negative, but i think so."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Nathan looked hurt and Haley couldn't stand that. She stood up and walked to the other side of the room.
"Because Nathan. I'm seventeen! I can't have a baby and I know you don't want a baby. I'm not going to be the one to ruin your basketball career."
"Haley I love you," Nathan said walking over to her. He held her close to him. "You're more important to me than anything and if you're having my child then my God i'm going to raise it with you. I love you Haley. Remember I did marry you didnt I?"
Haley got tears in her eyes and hugged him, "I love you too Nathan." Then she pulled away. "I have an appointment on Wednesday to see if i'm really pregnant or not. Would you come with me?"
"I wouldn't dream of being anywhere else," he said kissing her. Then they both got back into bed and Nathan nursed Haley helping her each time she got sick.

"I really don't think you should go to school today Hales," Nathan said looking at Haley who was in the bathroom brushing her teeth.
"Nathan i'm fine," she said walking out.
"If you're idea of fine is spending the entire morning with your head over a toilet then yes you're fine." Haley walked over and sat down on the bed.
"I feel better now, i promise." Haley was determined not to get sick in front of Nathan again, but her stomach was not cooperating. Nathan walked over and sat beside her wrapping his arms around her. She tried to relax into him, but the room was starting to spin. Before Haley could get up she began to gag and leaning over the edge of the bed she got very sick. Nathan kept a hold on her and held her hair back until she was finished. She wiped her mouth and he could see a few tears in her eyes.
"That's it you're not going to school and i'm staying right here." Haley was too exhausted to argue with him as he lay her back against the pillow. He walked into the bathroom and returned with a trashcan and a cup of water. She rinsed out her mouth and then watched as Nathan exited the room.
Coming back Nathan saw that Haley was fast asleep. Being careful so as not to wake her he began to clean up the sick on the floor. The things you do for love he thought. When he'd finished he pulled back the covers and slid in next to her. Taking her in his arms he smiled as she rolled over and buried her head into his chest.
