KNOCK KNOCK

Haley groaned and got off the couch, going to answer the door. She opened the door and quickly tried to close it but the person behind it pushed it open. Haley tumbled backwards and fell over. The person stood above her, an evil smirk on their face.

"Ah, my beautiful daughter-in-law. It is so nice to see you. I was wondering where my grandson was." Haley stood up and glared at Dan.

"Get the hell out of my house Dan." Dan shook his head no and pushed past here, going into the living room. Haley followed him, standing in front of the stairs. Dan turned around and smiled at her.

"Where is he?"

"He's with Nathan." Haley sighed with relief when she saw the Dan believed her. He walked to the door and was about to open it when cries were heard from the baby monitor that was on the coffee table. Dan spun around and smirked at Haley. Haley turned and ran up the stairs into Andrew's room, locking the door behind her. She grabbed her cell phone and dialed 911. She could hear Dan coming up the stairs and she picked up Andrew.

"911, what's the emergency?"

"Dan Scott is trying to take my baby. It's Haley Scott, we have a restraining order against him but he's here. I'm scared."

"Okay, Haley there is someone on the way."

"Thanks!" Haley dialed Nathan's number in her phone but it went straight to voicemail. "Nathan your dad is here!"

"HALEY, come on out! I just want to see my little grandson, that's all." Haley held Andrew closer to her. Dan started to play with the door knob and once realizing that it was locked, he stared to kick it. Haley walked to the other side of the room, where there was a door that was adjoined to her and Nathan's room. She quietly opened and closed it after her, making sure she locked it and the other door. Andrew started to whimper.

"It's okay, you have to be quiet for mommy." Andrew put his head on her shoulder and Haley looked around the room, looking for either a way out or somewhere to hide. She heard the door to Andrew's room break open and moved farther away from the door.

"WHERE ARE YOU HALEY?" She could hear Dan throwing things around in the room and walked in the closet and sat down, locking it. She knew that he was going to be coming in her room next. Tears started to pour out of her eyes, she was scared to death. Andrew had fallen asleep again. Haley picked up her phone and dialed Lucas's number, no answer. Then she tried Brookes, no answer. She just hoped that the Cops would be there soon. All of a sudden the door to the closet was ripped open and Dan stood there, glaring evilly down at her. He grabbed Haley's arm and pulled her out of the closet.

"Dan, please just leave us alone!" Dan just shook her head and grabbed her arm, pulling her down the stairs and out the front door. Haley almost jumped for joy when she saw the cops there.

"DAN SCOTT, LET MRS. SCOTT GO." Dan shook his head and pulled out a gun, placing it to Haley's temple. Haley cried harder, causing Andrew to start crying too. She saw that Nathan's car was in the driveway but that he was nowhere to be seen. She didn't know what was going on and she was terrified for her and her son's life. All of a sudden she felt herself being pushed and she fell on the porch, making sure she landed on her back. She watched as Nathan and Dan wrestled for the gun that was in Dan's hand. Nathan pulled Dan into the house, causing them both to fall. Haley heard a gun shot go off. She stood up and was about to run in the house but a cop stopped her. She tried to struggle free but he held on tighter. Two cops ran into the house and pulled apart Dan and Nathan.

"We need a stretcher." Two paramedics came with a stretcher and Haley nervously watched as they came back out of the house. She sighed with relief when she saw it wasn't Nathan. Nathan walked out of the house behind Dan and ran over to Haley and enveloped her into a hug. She sobbed into his chest, not believing all of what just happened. She looked up at Nathan and he wiped her tears away.

"I love you." Nathan leaned down and kissed her. "Don't worry Haley, he's going to jail now."

Haley just nodded and put her head against Nathan's shoulder. Nathan led her down to the stairs and into his car. He put Andrew in the back and talked to the cops for a bit. Then he got in the car and drove them over to Karen's café. Nathan grabbed Andrew and started to walk to the café but stopped when he saw that Haley was just standing there by the car. He walked over to her and grabbed her hand. She looked up at him, fear in her eyes. Nathan motioned towards the Café and she nodded, following him. Once she was inside she was being pulled into a hug by Brooke.

"Oh tutormom, I was so scared. I knew me and Lucas shouldn't have moved out." Haley pulled away from the hug. Brooke gave her a small smile but Haley just walked over to the couch and sat down. Brooke looked over at Nathan, who shrugged. Haley laid her head back and closed her eyes. She felt someone sit beside her and she opened them right away, scared. Her fear quickly turned to shock when she saw who was beside her.

"Are you okay?"

"Peyton, I thought you hated me?" Peyton nodded and grabbed Haley's hand.

"I was mad at you. You left, everyone always leaves me."

"I came back though Peyton." Peyton nodded and looked at the ground ashamed.

"I have wanted to try and talk to you for the past year. I even phoned your house a few times but whenever someone answered I hung up. I am truly sorry Haley and I am sorry what you just went through." Haley was confused. "There's something you need to know."

"What?" Haley sat up straight and stared at Peyton.

"Jake and I, well we broke up while you were gone, and I realized that I had feelings for Nathan." Haley pulled her hand away from Peyton and stared at her. "But I knew I couldn't have him. Anyways, Dan came to me and told me if I did something for him I could get Nathan back. So today he told me to phone Nathan and pretend that I needed a ride because my car broke down."

"WHAT! So you are the reason that I was alone, so Dan could do this to me?" Peyton nodded.

"I didn't think he was going to hurt you or anything." Haley slapped Peyton across the face. She grabbed the side of her face and stared at Haley in shock.

"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!" Peyton nodded and ran out of the café. Haley stood up and walked over to where everyone was sitting. She sat down beside Nathan and took Andrew from him.

"You okay?" Haley nodded and stared down at her son. He was playing with her necklace and he smiled up at her. She kissed him on the forehead and hugged him, trying to stop the tears that were forming in her eyes. Nathan put an arm around her and she looked over at him.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were going to give Peyton a ride?"

"I just didn't think you would-"

"Yeah well if you would have just ignored the damn call, none of this would have happened." Haley stood up and walked out of the café. Nathan jumped up and followed her. Haley turned around and stared at him. "It was a trap Nathan, her phoning you. She has feelings for you. I never knew you cared so much about her, I mean she treated me so badly when I came back here."

"I was just being nice Haley."

"Yeah well you being nice almost cost my life and our son's life." Nathan just stared at her, not believing what he was hearing.

"Are you saying this is my fault?" Haley looked down at her son and then back at Nathan, tears in her eyes.

"I'm not blaming you Nathan but I am just mad that the only reason you left me there was to go and help Peyton." Haley turned around and walked away but then she stopped and walked back towards the Café again. She walked through the door and sat down back where she was sitting. Nathan walked back in and sat down beside her.

"So, me and Lucas have some great news!" Haley looked over at Brooke and smiled. "We are having another baby!"

"Congratulations, that is so great!" Karen hugged Brooke and Lucas. "So Haley you and Nathan aren't having any more babies soon?"

"Nope." Haley looked down at Andrew. Nathan sadly looked over at her and sighed. Karen was shocked at Haley's behavior.

"How come?" Haley just shrugged her shoulders and stared at the table. "Haley, what's going on?"

"I don't want to have another child. I could barely protect Andrew, how would I protect two babies?" Karen shook her head and stood up, walking over to Haley and kneeling beside her.

"Haley you are a great mom and you did protect Andrew. Don't ever think that you can't protect your children." Haley just nodded and stood up.

"I'm going to the washroom." She handed Andrew to Karen and walked to the washrooms. Once inside she slid to the floor and started to sob. She didn't know why she was feeling the way she was. She felt empty, scared, and alone. There was a quiet knock on the door and she knew it was Brooke. She unlocked the door and went back to where she was sitting. Brooke came in and sat down beside her.

"Haley-"

"Brooke, I am so scared. When me and Nathan were fighting outside, I couldn't even walk down the street I was so scared. I don't want to feel that way for the rest of my life. I'm just so mad that Nathan left the house for Peyton. I don't know why, I just am." Brooke nodded and put her arm around Haley, pulling her close to her.

"Haley don't worry. Nathan is just a nice guy, he would probably help Chris Keller too." Haley laughed at that thought. Brooke smiled, she was happy that Haley was laughing.

"I'm pregnant too Brooke." Brooke stared down at Haley, a huge smile on her face. "Found out this morning when Nathan was helping Peyton."

"That's great Haley!" Haley smiled, she was excited about the baby! "Come on, let's go see our gorgeous children and gorgeous husbands!"

They walked back over to the table and everyone smiled when they saw the smile on Haley's face. Haley sat down on Nathans knee and stared at him. She leaned down and kissed him.

"I'm sorry for the way I acted." Nathan just smiled and kissed her again. "Anyway just wanted to let you all know, that me and Nathan are having another baby!"

"What!" Nathan stared at her, a huge smile on his face. He kissed her again and Haley laughed. She looked over at Andrew who was clapping. She still had those feelings but they were quickly disappearing.
