Chapter 27

"Wow," Lucas said. "That sure was something."

I smiled. "What would you have done differently, Luke? Did I do something wrong?"

He shook his head. "No, it was just weird seeing you being nice to her. I mean, I totally understand your reasoning and I get it cause it's you and you're always putting others before you. I don't know. It was just weird," he explained.

I laughed. "Was it weird for everyone?" I asked looking around.

Deb shrugged. "It's strange to find out it was Cooper. I mean, I was hoping to get her out of the family, not call her my sister in law!" she said.

I gave her a sympathetic smile. "You never know if she's going to end up with him. I mean, Cooper could say that he wants to be in the baby's life, but not Rachel's, you know?"

She nodded. "You're right, but I know my brother. He was so distraught when this all happened. I didn't know who the girl was, but I knew how depressed he got. He loves her, Haley, and she's going to be my sister in law."

I laughed and looked at Nathan. "That makes her your aunt!" I said and he didn't even smile. I laughed again. "You slept with your aunt!" I exclaimed and then stopped laughing.

He looked concerned. "What's wrong? Are you okay? Is it the baby?"

I shook my head. "No, I just got a very nice image in my head and now I regret laughing at that," I explained and he awed at me and pulled me close.

"Poor baby," he said and kissed my forehead.

I snuggled into his arms more. "I'm so glad we can do this again without worrying," I whispered to him.

He leaned down and kissed me. "Me too, Hales, me too," he replied.

"Awww! How cute! You guys are all cute and together again!" Bevin exclaimed.

"Oh my god, we have to start planning the baby shower!" Brooke yelled. "I'm soo excited! And we get to plan a bachelorette party! Whoo hoo!"

"Brooke, you do know that I get to plan it, right? Since I'm the maid of honor," Peyton said with a grin.

Brooke pouted. "But I love planning parties! You're going to need my help, P. Sawyer, right?" she begged.

Peyton laughed. "Of course you can help, Brooke. Bevin can help, too," she said when Bevin moved to speak.

"Yay!" Bevin exclaimed. I laughed at all of them. Those are my best friends! You gotta love them!

"Well, I think Dan and I need to go home and then call Cooper. Hopefully he comes tomorrow and we get this all settled," Deb said, standing up.

I stood up as well and hugged them both. "Call me when you have talked to Cooper. Maybe if you can't convince him to come, I'll think of something, okay?"

Deb nodded. "Haley, I don't know how you did it. You've been completely selfless throughout this entire ordeal! I'm just happy that my grandchild gets to have you as a mother. You've changed Nathan for the better and I know this child will have a better life because of you," she said, hugging me again.

I half laughed half sobbed. "You're going to make me cry, Deb! Don't make a pregnant girl happy; she cries!" I exclaimed and she laughed.

"You don't know how relieved Deb and I are that Nathan isn't having two children from two different mothers," Dan said. "That sounds like some crazy soap opera!"

I laughed. "They would never make a show like that!" I said and led them to the door. "See you both tomorrow!" I waved and then closed the door behind them.

Bevin, Skills, Peyton, Jake, and Brooke were all saying their goodbyes when I came back in. They all hugged me and promised they would see me in the morning. They all left, leaving just Nathan, Lucas, Chris, me and our parents. "Well, Haleybub, you're just the worlds greatest detective, aren't you?" dad joked.

I smiled at him. "I am, aren't I?" I replied.

My mom stood up. "Well, that was very interesting," she said. "I'm glad the dramas over, though. That Rachel…"

I shushed her. "Mom, she's still just in the other room!" I whispered harshly. "I know you might think I'm stupid for offering to let her stay, but I would hope someone would have the decency to do the same to me if I were in that predicament!"

She shook her head. "You think I think you're stupid? I've never been more proud of you, Haley! You put yourself after others, even when you shouldn't! You are the most selfless person I know!" she replied and then pulled me into a hug. "I am proud of the woman you have become. I will be more proud on the day you have that baby."

I pulled back and gave her a teary smile. "I love you, mom. You don't know how much all that meant to me; just to hear you say that."

She nodded. "I do know, Haley. It's what I dreamed my mother would say to me, but that's another story for another day," she said and rushed off.

I gave dad a curious glance and he shrugged, uncomfortably, then stood up and went after her. I looked at Lucas. "It looks like my detective work isn't quite over yet," I said. "Do you have any idea what she's talking about?"

He shook his head. "No idea, but I'm sure you'll figure it out. You never let things go until the mystery is solved," he said.

"Well," Chris said loudly, getting all of our attention. "I guess I'm not the father anymore."

I rolled my eyes and walked over to him. "About that, I wanted to do something," I said.

He jumped up and pointed to his cheek, expecting a kiss. "Right here, babe. I know my performance was flawless!"

I laughed and punched him in the stomach. "You almost got us caught, Chris! If you weren't here to help me, I would kill you!" I said. He sat back down, rubbing his stomach.

"You're strong!" he managed to say.

I flipped the hair out of my face. "I'm pregnant! It comes with the territory," I explained. "Now, why don't you go to the other guest room by Luke's room; that's where you'll be staying," I said and then went to Nathan, grabbing his hand. "Come with me. I have to show you something."

He nodded and followed me upstairs. We got in my room and I closed the door, locking it. "So, what did you want to show me?" he asked, taking a seat on my bed.

I grinned at him before taking off my shirt. I looked at him once it was off, he was holding in a growl. I walked over and stood in front of him. "I've missed you, Nate," I said softly.

He put his hands on my large stomach, leaning forward to kiss it. "I love seeing you pregnant, Hales. It's really a turn on," he said and then looked up at me.

I leaned down to kiss him lightly. "Well, being pregnant, I'm always horny, so we'll be having lots and lots of sex, Nathan," I replied and laid down, taking him with me.

Review please!
