"Brooke, is Nathan coming? Have you got a hold of Nathan or Lucas?" Brooke shook her head 'no'. "Oh God, Nathan's going to miss it!"
"Well maybe he got my message and they are on a plane?" Haley glared up at Brooke.
"I have been in labor for 3 hours, if they got your message 3 hours ago then they would most likely be here by now!" Haley said through clenched teeth, then her face softened and she started to cry. "I'm sorry Brooke!"
"It's okay!" Brooke grabbed Haley's hand and even held it while she squeezed it during a contraction. The girls were both crying, Haley in pain and from Nathan not being there and Brooke because she was scared her hand was broken. Haley let go of Brooke's hand when she saw the look of pain on her face.
"Oh sorry, is your hand okay?" Brooke just nodded and wiped away her tears. Haley felt another contraction and held on to the railing of the bed. "WHERE THE HELL IS NATHAN?"
"I don't know Haley!" Brooke was crying again because she was afraid for Haley. Well actually she was afraid of Haley.
"I'm going to kill him for doing this to me." Brooke started to laugh and at first Haley glared but then she started laughing to. "So, can't you wait for five more months to pass?"
"Shut up, don't remind me!" Haley laughed and laid back against the pillows. The doctor came in and smiled at them.
"Ok, I am just checking how dilated you are." The doctor looked and then gave Haley a bigger smile. "10 centimeters, time to start pushing."
"No I can't, my husband is not here. We have to wait till he comes." The doctor gave the girl a sympathetic look and shook her head.
"The baby won't wait Haley, I'm sorry." Haley just nodded, tears falling down her cheeks. "Ok time to push."
"Hurry up Lucas, the nurse said she was in room 121. 118, 120, 121. Come on!" Nathan opened the door of the room and saw Haley, Brooke and the doctor. Haley was pushing and Brooke was wiping her forehead. Nathan ran over to the other side of Haley and grabbed her hand. She looked up at Nathan and smiled.
"You're here." Nathan nodded and kissed her forehead. The doctor told her to give one more push and soon they could hear cries in the room. The doctor let Nathan cut the umbilical cord and then passed the baby to Haley. Haley looked down at the baby and smiled. She looked up at Nathan and saw the tears in his eyes and moved over so he could sit down. Brooke and Lucas watched from the side of the bed as the new family sat there.
"Sorry, to break the perfect moment but have you decided on a name?" Haley looked at Nathan and smiled, then looked at the doctor and nodded.
"This is Andrew Davis Scott." Brooke gasped in shock and smiled down at Haley and Andrew, a fresh new set of tears falling down her face. Haley looked up at Brooke and smiled. "I picked Davis for the middle name because you have been the best friend a person could ask for. You were there on tour with me and you never ever gave up on me and Nathan. I love you for that and I would also like you and Lucas to be Andrew's God parents."
"Oh my God Haley, of course. You do not know how happy you have just made me." Brooke leaned down and hugged Haley. Haley gave her a one armed hug.
"Can I hold my son?" The girls looked over at Nathan and laughed. Haley nodded and placed Andrew in to Nathan's arms. "Hey buddy."
Haley smiled as Nathan talked to Andrew. He was the perfect mixture of Haley and Nathan. He had dark hair like Nathan, big brown eyes like hers and he smirked just like Nathan.
"So I guess this means that you and Nathan will have to be the God parents for our little girl!" Haley looked up at Brooke and smiled.
"A girl, when did you find out?"
"Well I didn't but I feel that it's a girl." Haley just laughed and motioned for Nathan to hand her Andrew back. He obliged and Haley smiled down at her son. She then looked at Lucas and he nodded. She passed him the baby and he stared down at him. Brooke laughed when she saw that he started to tear up, he just glared at her. "I wonder what he's going to be like when our baby's born."
"Blubbering like a little baby!" Everyone laughed, which shocked Andrew and he started to cry. Lucas passed him back to Haley and she started to sing him a lullaby.
Hush, little baby, don't say a word,
Mama's going to buy you a mockingbird.
And if that mockingbird don't sing,
Mama's going to buy you a diamond ring.
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Mama's going to buy you a looking glass.
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Mama's going to buy you a billy goat.
And if that billy goat won't pull,
Mama's going to buy you a cart and bull.
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Mama's going to buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won't bark,
Mama's going to buy you a horse and cart.
And if that horse and cart fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town.
Andrew was soon asleep and Haley smiled lovingly down at him and Nathan kissed Haley's forehead. Brooke and Lucas left them alone and went and got Deb, Karen and Keith. Haley looked up and smiled at them as they walked in. Deb walked over to the bed and looked down at her new grandson.
"Oh he's perfect." Karen and Keith nodded in agreement. "Oh Karen, in 5 months you are going to be a grandma too."
"Yeah and you want to know what is really funny, in 8 months I am going to be a mother too." Everyone's looks went to Karen and Keith, who looked at each other and smiled.
"Mom, you're having a baby!" Karen nodded and Lucas hugged his mother, then Keith. "When's the wedding?"
"Well, we kind of pulled what you and Brooke did and got married last night." Lucas smiled and Brooke hugged them both.
"Mom you aren't having a baby too I hope!" Deb laughed and shook her head. "You realize that all three of our children will be in the same class together."
"That's a little weird, I mean our baby's aunt or uncle will be the same age as them, and the baby will also be it's second cousin and Andrew's second cousin." Everyone looked at Lucas and rolled their eyes. "It's true!"
"Well they will all be best of friends!" Everyone laughed at Brooke and she smiled.
"Of course they will Brooke." Haley grabbed Brooke's hand and smiled. "Hopefully they will be as good friends as we are, like all four of us are."
Brooke nodded and sat down beside Haley, admiring her baby. Haley looked over at Lucas and smiled.
"Can me and Lucas have a moment alone?" Everyone nodded. Nathan gave Haley a kiss on the lips and they all left the room. Lucas sat down beside her on the bed and stroked the baby's head. "So, we've come along way from it being just you and me against the world."
"It sure has, I know that we have both made mistakes in the past but they are seriously all worth it because they made us who we are today. I'm just glad we remained best friends throughout everything." Haley nodded and leaned into Lucas.
"What if I hadn't started tutoring Nathan, me and you would probably be on different sides of the country." Lucas nodded and put an arm around her.
"That is why I am so glad that you can see past everyone. We are all friends because you Haley James Scott and we will thank you for the rest of our lives." Haley smiled and stared down at her baby. A nurse came in and told her that she needed to take the baby down to the nursery so that she could have some rest. Haley didn't want to be away from Andrew but she had to because she was very tired. Lucas kissed her on the forehead one more time and left the room, Haley fell asleep instantly.
