Chapter 19

Waking up with Nathan there was something I had definitely missed. It was one of the little things that I loved about being with him. To feel his arms wrapped around me was amazing.

I turned to face him. "Good morning," I whispered, seeing that he was awake.

He smiled and leaned down to kiss me. "Good morning. How'd you sleep?"

I grinned up at him. "Wonderfully, thank you. How did you sleep?" I asked.

"Very good, I had you in my arms," he replied and held me tighter. "So, what is the plan for today?"

I shrugged. "Spending some time going over the plan? I think we need to go over it one last time." He sat up, bringing me with him. I turned so I was facing him. "Okay, so this is how it starts. You're going to head home Sunday night. When you get home, you've got to make her believe that you're in this for her, not just the baby."

He sighed. "Easier said than done."

I smiled. "I know that you know how to charm the girls!" I exclaimed.

He smirked. "Well, that's just because I'm unbelievably sexy."

I hit him lightly. "See? You definitely know how to do it. Now, she's not going to believe you right away, but give it a few days and it should work," I said and he nodded. "I really think you should propose to her when she thinks that you really do want her."

His eyes bulged out. "What? Why would I do that?" he managed to say.

I smiled. "It doesn't mean you're actually going to marry her, Nathan! She's just going to believe that she's on and that I am completely out of the picture. It's just going to make her confess sooner, okay?" I asked and he nodded. "Now, I really wish Brooke and Lucas were here. We could definitely use their help."

"Just tell me what you need them to do and I'll let them in on it."

"Well, we need Lucas to be totally mad at you for choosing Rachel over me, right? I mean, he is my brother and it seems right. Brooke has to make it seem like the thought of Rachel is growing on her. I don't care how many trips to the mall she has to take with her, but she's gotta convince her."

Nathan laughed. "How long have you been thinking about this?"

"Honestly? The day after you told me she was pregnant. I didn't really believe it, but I just had to separate myself from you. Don't ask why, but I did," I said and then hugged him. "I don't know how I lasted this long. I mean, when you came to see me off, I just wanted to jump into your arms and never let you go."

He held me tighter. "I wanted to take you into my arms and force you to go home, but it wasn't my decision to make. I knew that you still loved me and that you would come back to me in your own time."

I pulled back and smiled. "Well, let's go get some food. I'm starving!"

The rest of that night and the day after were bittersweet. I knew he had to leave, but it didn't mean I wanted him to. I drove him back to the airport.

"Well, I guess I'll see you in 2 months," he said. I nodded, not able to speak for fear of tears. "I'm gonna miss you, baby. Take care of yourself."

I pulled him into a hug. "Nathan, there's something I've gotta tell you," I whispered.

He pulled back so he could look at me. "What's that?" I took is hands and placed them on my stomach. "You're hungry?" I shook my head. "Your stomach hurts?" I shook my head again. "What, Hales?"

I sighed. "I'm pregnant, Nathan."

He laughed. "That's a good one, Hales. Really cute!" he replied.

I smiled. "I'm not kidding, Nate. I really am pregnant," I said again.

He continued laughing until he realized I was serious. "You- but- I- Wow! I need to sit down now," he said and sat right there on the ground.

It was my turn to laugh. "Nathan, are you okay?"

I bent down to his level. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just- wow! I never saw that one coming," he said. "How long have you known?"

"Since this morning," I replied with a shrug. "But I had a feeling I was because I've been puking my guts out every morning."

He nodded. "Well, I really am gonna be a dad," he said in a quiet voice. "At least this time I'm happy about it."

I smiled. "Really?" he nodded and I jumped on him, squealing. "Yay! I'm really happy that you're happy cause if you weren't I was gonna kill you and-"

"Hales! Calm down, woman! Sheesh!" he said and I stood up, pulling him with me. "Man, it's really hard to leave you now."

I smiled and leaned up to kiss him. "Well, I'll only be away from you until Christmas, then I'm yours for good, remember?"

"What do you mean? You're leaving again after new years!" he exclaimed.

I shook my head. "No, I'm not. I transferred to Duke! I'm gonna stay close to home and the man I love."

He grinned and kissed me deeply. "I love you, Haley Roe and I'm gonna marry you one day."

I smiled back. "You bet your ass you are! I love you, too, Nate. Always."

"And forever," he finished and kissed me one last time before leaving.

So, there's Haley's evil plan! I'm probably going to jump forward to christmas time. By then, Rachel will be 6-7 months pregnant and Haley will be around 3 1/2 to 4 months. You don't mess with pregnant women... they are SERIOUSLY scary! So, what do you think is going to happen when two, who are in love with the same man, get in the same room? PURE CHAOS!
