Chapter 26

He smiled. "Well, never too busy for you girls, but do the guys have to be here to?" he asked, licking his lips.

I rolled my eyes. Luke pushed past him and we all walked inside. "Don't play stupid right now, Felix, you have a lot of explaining to do," I said.

"What do I need to explain to you? I haven't done anything to you," he replied, taking a seat and smirking at me.

"Oh, it's not really what you've done to her, but what you've done to Rachel. I guess congratulations are in order, daddy," Brooke said.

He laughed. "Yeah, right, like I'm the father of her baby!" he sighed. "You all obviously don't believe her when she says it's Nate's so you come running to blame me. Well, I've got news for all of you, they've got the test results in the hospital that say Nathan is the father! Don't come running to me just cause you don't want it to be true! I didn't do anything! Hell, I've never even slept with her!"

It was my turn to laugh. "Yeah, like I'll believe that for one second! You didn't even go to Stanford, Felix, so why were you there? Huh? Was it to check on me for Rachel? I know you're involved in this somehow and I'm going to find out so you might as well tell me everything you know right now!" I screamed, stepping up to him.

"What are you gonna do about it, honey?" he smirked.

Lucas stepped up and push Felix back. "You are really going to get an ass beating if you don't tell her everything RIGHT NOW!" he yelled.

Felix sighed. "I don't know much so I can't tell you much."

"That's bull!" I said.

"Tell us everything. If at one point I think you're lying I swear to god you won't see the light of day again," Chris said, standing next to Lucas.

Felix gave him a cocky smile. "Let me guess, you were Haley's old boyfriend, hoping to get back together with her while at Stanford until you heard all about Nathan, the love of her life."

Chris moved forward, attempting to hit him, but Lucas held him back. This made Felix laugh. Brooke stood over by me. "Look, Felix, just tell us what you know or your name will be mentioned when we go to the police," she said, putting an arm around my shoulder.

"What could you possibly tell the police that would scare me?"

"That you're stalking me!" I exclaimed.

"Where's your proof?" he spat.

I threw up my hands. "You followed me to Stanford! You don't even go there and I bet you don't have any friends there that can vouch for you being with them! Just talk Felix or you're going to be in a whole new world of pain!"

He sighed. "Alright, alright, I'll tell you! Just keep my name out of it, okay?" I nodded and he began. "Well, it all started…"

Nathan's POV

"Natey, my feet hurt! Will you massage them for me, baby?"

I inwardly rolled my eyes. I don't know how much more of this I can take. This girl is really driving me nuts! I just hope Haley figures everything out and soon. "Sure, Rachel," I replied. I looked up at my mom who gave me a sympathetic look. I shrugged and began massaging her feet.

"What are you thinking about, Nate?" Rachel asked.

I looked over at her. She was looking at me, a not so happy expression on her face. "I'm not thinking about anything. Why do you look so pissed off?"

She sighed and rolled her eyes. "You hate me, don't you? I mean, we haven't had sex since we got back together! You think I'm fat, don't you?"

I sighed. "Rachel, I don't think you're fat. I told you this already. I want to wait until we have the baby and we're married. It'll be more special that way," I said, happy I thought of that excuse so quickly. I would never do that to Haley. That's something I always promised myself.

"But, Nate it's supposed to be good for the baby! Why can't we?" she asked, sitting up and trying to touch me.

I moved back. I hadn't even let her kiss me. I thought this might upset her or make her still believe that it was fake. I kissed her cheek and that was it. One time she kissed me; when I fake proposed. That was all I allowed. I mean, it's only been 3 months, really. She couldn't be that suspicious, right?

"Natey!" she yelled.

"What!" I screamed back. She looked at me with tears in her eyes before they started to fall. I sighed. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell, Rach. Come here."

She moved over and cried on my shoulder. "You never kiss me anymore, Nathan! You don't love me! That's all I want, Nathan, is for you to love me! I heard you all the time on the phone, telling her you loved her! Telling her you would leave me for her!"

I mentally cursed myself for not being more careful with the phone calls to Haley. "What are you talking about, Rachel?"

She sat back, anger etched in her face. "Don't act like I'm stupid! Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about!"

I took a deep breath. This was going to be a long night. I really, really hope they get back soon!

Haley's POV

"That's it? That's all you know?" I exclaimed. He shrugged. "You don't even know who the real father is? That's bull!"

He stood up. "Listen, Haley, I haven't lied about anything! I know that she was really mad when you and Nate got together, but she left you guys alone for the summer, right?"

I nodded. "Yeah, she did. What's your point?"

He shrugged. "I think she moved on in that summer. Then she probably told the guy that she was pregnant and he went running. Something along those lines, but I don't think you'll find him in tree hill. She wouldn't go for anyone in tree hill except for Nathan," he explained.

"Maybe a guy she used to know came for the summer?" Brooke suggested.

"Or it could be some random guy that she met in a bar," Chris added.

I sighed. I couldn't think of anything, but I knew Felix wasn't lying. "Thanks anyways, Felix. I really appreciate all that you've told us. I won't go to the police about you stalking me and Nate. I know it was you who heard me at the mall on the phone."

He nodded. "Yeah, Rachel pays good, you know," he smirked. "Listen, I didn't mean to screw with your lives, it's all about money with me."

"Or being threatened to be put in jail," Lucas said.

Felix nodded. "Or that, too. I promise I'll stop. There's no point anymore. You'll figure it out eventually."

I stood up. "Our work here is done. There's nothing else we'll get out of him. Let's just go home," I said walking out the door, everyone close behind me.

We all got into the car. "Maybe if we just confront her and act like we know who the father really is, she'll crack!" Brooke suggested.

I nodded. "It could work. I'm just really trying to figure out who it could be! I mean, who came this summer? She did try to hang around Mouth and Tim a lot, but I just don't believe that they would even sleep with her!" I sighed. "Whatever, we'll figure it out somehow. I'm starving! I hope that they haven't eaten yet."

We got home and they were all in the living room, dinner long since over. I pouted but went in to get some of the leftovers. Brooke and I brought some out for Luke and Chris and we sat in the living room.

"So, whose coming for christmas this year, mom?" Lucas asked.

She shrugged. "I think this is the group for Christmas this year, honey. Why, did you want to invite anyone?"

She shook his head. "Not really, just wonder. Deb, Dan are you having any family over?" he asked.

Brooke smirked. "Yeah, is hot Uncle Cooper coming in to visit?"

I laughed at her. "Oh, I remember you asking him to marry you! So funny!" I said, thinking back.

Deb smiled. "No, he's not. For some reason he just doesn't want to come here. He said he's got other plans," she explained. Suddenly, everything hit me and I gasped.

"Is everything okay, baby?" Chris asked.

I didn't reply to him, I only looked at Rachel. "That's it," I said out loud.

"What's it, tutorgirlie?" Brooke asked.

"Cooper, that's it!" I said, standing.

"Haley, are you okay?" Bevin asked.

Jake nodded. "Yeah, what's gotten into you?"

I shook my head, staring at Rachel. "You lying bitch!" I exclaimed.

She stood up. "Excuse me?"

I walked over to her. "You aren't pregnant with Nathan's baby, it's Cooper's!"

She looked shocked and then she recovered. "That's ridiculous! I'm 6 months along with Nathan's baby! I didn't even know Cooper then!"

I laughed. "Stop all the lying! We know you're lying, Rachel! You're only 5 months along and it's Cooper's! You couldn't stand to see Nathan happy without you so you tried to make him jealous! You found another guy, who just happens to be Nathan's uncle! You trick him into thinking you're not 17 and he fell for it! Then, as soon as he found out, he left! I remember him talking about meeting a girl this summer! I can't believe I never asked him her name, but now I know everything!" She shook her head. "Oh, there's no denying it now, Rachel! He doesn't even know you're pregnant, does he?"

"He doesn't know cause it's not his, Haley!" She screamed, tears falling from her eyes. "It's Nathan's! His whole family saw the results of the paternity test!" Everyone else was still too shocked with this new information that they couldn't say anything, only stare.

I laughed bitterly. "That's because Nathan and Cooper come from the same gene pool! They have similar DNA! (AN: I don't know if that could really happen, but for the sake of my story, IT COULD!) That's why it came out positive for Nathan! Just admit it already, Rachel! Felix has already ratted you out for having him stalk me to find out if I'm still seeing Nathan!"

She slapped me. This is when everyone sprung into action. Jake pulled her back as she went to hit me again. "There's some jail time for you for assaulting a pregnant lady!" I exclaimed.

She desperately fought against Jake until she fell to the floor, sobbing. "I loved him! I loved Cooper! He doesn't want me anymore! I need him to want me! Why didn't he like me!" she held herself.

I sighed. I felt sort of bad for her. Sort of. I don't know what I would've done in her situation. "So, why did you come after Nathan if you loved Cooper?" I asked, calmer now.

She looked over at me, a sad expression on her face. "He was the closest thing I had to Cooper. He was the last time I was sort of happy. Nothing compared to Cooper, but all I could get."

I nodded. "What are you going to do now, Rachel?" I asked.

She wiped her face and then shrugged. "I don't know. I have nothing left anymore."

I shook my head. "He deserves to know, Rachel, and if you don't tell him, I will," I said and bent down to her level. "He'll help you with this, Rachel. Cooper's a good man."

She laughed bitterly. "Like I want his pity now! He hates me! He ran off when he found out I was only 17! He's not coming here for Christmas because I'm here! Why else would he help me except for the fact that I'm having his child?"

I sighed. "Rachel, he deserves to know his child. You're going to tell him. Who knows, maybe he does love you. He just thought your relationship was based on a lie. Maybe you can fix it over time," I suggested.

She nodded. "Maybe," she whispered. "I just don't know how I can tell him!"

I helped her to stand. "Listen, Rachel, I don't like you. You tried to steal Nathan away from me, telling him that he was the father of your child. You lied to his family and mine! I don't know if I'll ever like you or ever be your friend but I can tell you one thing, I will help you tell Cooper. You don't have anyone right now and I'll help you. Think of it as pity," I said with a shrug.

"After everything I've done to your life you'd do that for me?" she asked. I nodded. "Why? I wouldn't if I were you!"

I shrugged. "That's just the thing; you're not me. You don't know how I perceive certain things. Don't over analise this. I'm not trying to be your friend. I'm just there with you when you tell Coop and you're on your own after that."

She nodded. "Thank you, Haley," she said and walked to the door.

"Where are you going, Rachel?" I asked.

She shrugged. "I don't know, but I'll find some place," she replied.

I sighed. "Don't be stupid, Rachel. You're staying in our guest room until tomorrow when Cooper will be here and you will tell him everything. After that I kick you to the curb," I explained.

She looked at me confused and then walked down the hall to the guestroom, closing the door. I took in a deep breath and looked at everyone. Brooke had her hands on her hips. She was glaring at me. "What, Brooke?" I asked.

"What the hell was all that?" she exclaimed.

I shrugged. "I guess I just put myself in her shoes. If I didn't have anybody I hope someone would offer to help me, even if it was just for a little while," I explained.

She threw her hands up. "I'll never understand what goes on in that head of yours Haley Roe!"

I smiled. "I don't understand it either," I replied and everyone laughed.
