"Oh my god!" Haley cried. "I can't believe this."

"Shh…it'll be okay." Nathan whispered comfortingly. "It'll be okay."

Haley calmed then looked up at Nathan. "I'm so sorry Nathan. " She told him sadly.

"Shh Hales. Don't be. I chose this." He reminded her. "Haley James if I'm going to start a family, ever in my life, I want to do it with you. I love you Haley. You're my best friend." He said kissing her forehead.

Haley forced a smile. "I love you too Nathan. It's just…it's just too much." She ran her hands through her hair and sighed. "I can't help replaying what your mom told me when we told her."

Flashback

"You've ruined my son's life you selfish little whore!" Deb Scott yelled.

"Mrs. Scott I…"

"I don't want to hear it you little bitch. Get the hell away from me."

End Flashback

"Don't think like that Hales. You have done nothing but make my life better." He told her, hugging her tightly to his body. "I would do anything for you. I told you that already."

"Nathan…we were five." She reminded him.

"Yeah but I keep my promises." He said sending one of his trademark smirks her way.
"Nathan." She sighed. "This is too much, and it's ruining your life."

"Haley, I said ANYTHING. Nothing is too much. You're my best friend."

Haley moved away from him. "Nathan, your ruining you're life. I'M ruining your life by letting you take responsibility of this baby. A baby that isn't even yours." She said, tears falling from her big brown eyes. "As much as I wish it were." She finished in a whisper turning away from him.

Nathan stood there shocked. Did he hear right? He walked over to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Haley…for what it's worth, I wish this was my baby too." He told her.
Haley turned around sharply and quiet shocked. "Do you?"

"Yeah I do. However…had I been the best friend I claim to be…this would have never have happened to you." He told her, a tear rolling down his face.

"Nathan how many times do I have to tell you, that this isn't your fault." She said wiping the tear from his cheek.

"No matter how many times you say it, it'll always be MY fault."

"It's not Nathan. I don't know how to make you understand it."

"Don't try, because I know the truth." He told her. He sighed and looked down for a minute, contemplating his next move. Then he looked back up and into her eyes. "I'm going for a walk." He said sighing and heading towards the door.

"Nathan please…"

"No Hales…I just…I have to think." He told her. He placed a soft kiss on her lips before opening the door to find three shocked faces and one indifferent.
