Chapter 29

We got our food and all conversation was pretty much lost with me. I was just so excited about the food. Let me say it was the most amazing French toast I had ever eaten!

"Haley? Take time to breathe, sis!"

I looked up, after having heard Luke's comment. I rolled my eyes. "Leave me alone, Luke! I'm eating for 2 now!" I exclaimed.

He laughed. "Just cause you're eating for two doesn't mean you need to eat like a pig!" I looked up at him, tears in my eyes. He just called me fat. He saw my reaction and immediately tried to fix it. "No, Haley, that's not what I meant! I just meant-"

"You just meant I'm so huge I could pass as a pig, right?" I asked, tears escaping. "Is that what you all think?"

I looked at Brooke who shook her head. I moved my gaze to Nathan who shook his head rapidly. "Baby, you aren't fat!" Nathan started.

I set down my fork. "Yes, I am! Look at me!" I yelled. I sobbed out, "I'm a cow!"

Mom, Dad and Deb rushed over. "Which one of you set her off this time?" Dad asked.

I looked up at him. "Daddy, Luke called me fat!" I whined. Mom helped me stand and hugged me.

"Haleybub, you aren't fat! You are carrying a baby! There's nothing wrong with how you look right now," dad said, trying to soothe.

I pulled back from my mother's embrace and glared at him. "How I look now?" I asked. "Do I look less pretty than how I did before I got pregnant? Are you agreeing with Luke, dad?"

He held up his hands. "You misunderstood me! I was just saying-"

"Haley, forget about him! Men are pigs and they don't understand us women," Deb said, placing a comforting hand on my back. "Now, why don't we take your breakfast over to another table where just us girls will sit, okay?"

I wiped the tears from my face and nodded. Brooke stood and led me over to another table while Deb grabbed our plates and mom followed close behind.

General POV

"I hate it when she gets like that," Lucas said.

Keith hit Lucas on the back of his head. "Don't ever mess with a pregnant woman! You make the rest of the men miserable!" he said, crossing his arms.

Nathan nodded. "Yeah, she wasn't even mad at me! You had to go and say she looked fat and then the girls turned her against me!" he pouted.

Lucas sighed. "I didn't call her fat! I was just saying she should slow down! She was stuffing it in her face!" Nathan and Keith both glared at Luke. "What! What did I say now?"

Nathan rolled his eyes. "Have you not seen your sister eat before she got pregnant? She was the same way!" he argued and Keith nodded.

"I used to say the same thing to her when she wasn't pregnant!" Luke replied.

"Well, son, just because you used to say it doesn't mean she won't react differently now that she's pregnant. Women get crazy when they're pregnant," he explained.

"Oh, really?" Karen walked over crossing her arms. "How crazy was I, Keith?"

He looked up and smiled. "Hey, baby, I didn't even see you there!"

She nodded, still glaring. "You're still in trouble. I just came to tell you that Haley, Brooke and I are going to head home. You are welcome to stay if you like or you can come home as well. Haley requests that Lucas and Keith go in the other car, though, and Nathan can choose which one he goes in."

Nathan jumped up. "See you guys later," he said.

Keith nodded. "Good idea, Nate, don't need her to be mad at you, too," he said to the retreating figure.

"So I was crazy, huh?" Karen asked. Keith shrugged as he gave a nervous laugh.

Haley's POV

I smiled as Nathan walked up to me. "Hey, beautiful, how was the rest of your French toast?" he asked, rubbing his hands on my belly.

"Very delicious," I replied. I reached up to kiss him lightly. "Those mean boys didn't have any effect on you, did they?"

He shook his head. "They can't turn me against my baby," he replied. "I still think you look sexy as hell carrying my child."

"Ahem!" We turned to see my dad, crossing his arms. "What was that, Nathan?"

Nathan panicked. "Uh, I just, uh-"

I laughed. "Relax, Nathan, he already knows we had sex," I said, gesturing to my stomach. "He was just kidding."

"Or was I?" Dad asked, and then laughed manically.

I shook my head. "Daddy, leave him alone!" I exclaimed, laughing.

Nathan looked uncomfortable.

Nathan and I decide to go back to his house to see his father. I hadn't seen Dan in a few days because he had been out of town for work. "Dad, you here?" Nathan yelled into the house.

There was no reply. He motioned for me to enter and then followed me inside. "Dan?" I yelled.

We walked further inside and heard 2 people arguing. "Why does it have to be like this? Why can't we just take care of her together?" the female voice screeched.

"Because you lied to me about it! You don't deserve to have her!" the male voice boomed.

I looked to Nathan who nodded. "Rachel and Cooper," I said. "Wait, if they're here, where's Hannah?" I asked.

"She's right here." We turned to see Dan holding her in his arms. "But I can tell she's about to start crying."

I smiled at him. "We came to see you," I said, walking over and kissing him on the cheek. "How was your week away from the madness?"

He laughed. "I wish I could've been here! Work is work. No fun involved in that," he replied.

Hannah started fussing and then all out wailing. I motioned that I would take her and Dan greatfully handed her over. I took the crying infant into my arms and rocked her. I began humming softly and she was starting to quiet down. Her little eyes fluttered as she was beginning to fall asleep.

Hannah was born 1 month early and was 1 month and 1 week old today. I smiled down at her, secretly envious of Rachel and Cooper. I couldn't wait until Nathan and my child was here. Only 2 more months.

I walked over to a crib that Deb had set up in the living room and placed the sleeping baby inside. "Night night, Hannah," I whispered and then moved back to Dan and Nathan, only to find Rachel and Cooper as well. I shook my head at the two. "Don't you two know that babies can sense hostility? They can sense when their parents are fighting."

Cooper sighed. "Thanks for calming her down, Haley. I really appreciate it," he said.

Rachel just looked at me, surprised. "What?" I asked.

She just shook her head. "How did you do that? I'm her mother and I've been the only one able to do that ever since she was born!" she exclaimed.

I shrugged. "I just have motherly instincts. If that were my child, I would do the same. I really can't explain it, Rachel," I replied.

She smiled. "You're going to be a great mom, Haley. Hell, you already are."

I smiled back. "You're not so bad of a mother yourself, Rachel, now that you're doing it the right way with the right person," I said, motioning to Cooper.

Cooper cleared his throat and then turned to Rachel. "Listen, let's make a promise to not fight when Hannah's around, okay? For her sake?"

Rachel nodded. "Yeah, okay, but how can we do that when all we do is fight?" she replied.

Cooper sighed and turned to me. "Do you mind watching her for a while? Rachel and I have a lot of things to talk about."

I smiled and nodded. "Sure, Nathan and I could use the practice. Take your time," I replied, grasping Nathan's hand.

Cooper and Rachel left. Dan laughed as soon as they were out the door. "What, dad?" Nathan asked with a smirk.

Dan shook his head. "You know they're going to work everything out and raise Hannah together, right?" he asked.

I smiled. "I sure hope so. Rachel's not so bad when she's being herself and not what she thinks she needs to be," I replied.

Dan smiled back. "Well, I'll leave you two to play house. I'll be upstairs taking a nap," he said. "Wake me up if you need any help!"

I laughed. "That won't happen!" I replied, hearing him laugh. "Okay, Nate, she's napping for now, so why don't we just watch some TV or something?"

He nodded and pulled me onto the couch. I grabbed the controller and turned the channel to MTV. The show 'Pimp my Ride' was on. I sighed. "Stupid," I said and changed it. I put it on TBS and they had the movie 'Just Married' on. I smiled. "Now this is what I'm talking about!"

Nathan laughed, pulling me to lay on his chest. "Don't fantasize about Ashton Kutcher with me right here, please!" he said.

I smiled up at him. "I wouldn't think of it!" I replied and kissed him lightly. I turned back to the movie. Ashton is hot, though. I mean really, really hot! Haley, don't think like that! Nathan knows what you're thinking! Suddenly Nathan's lips were on my neck. "What are you doing?" I asked, moving my head to give him better access.

He smiled against my neck. "Nothing," He replied, placing feather light kisses up to my jaw and back down to my shoulder.

"Nathan," I whispered. He smiled and pulled back. I sighed. "That's it? Nathan!"

He laughed. "Glad you were thinking about me and not stupid Kutcher!" he said, wrapping his arms tighter around me.

I rolled my eyes. "Oh, that's what that was about?" I asked. He nodded, smirking. I smiled right back. "Babe, I wouldn't think about him in front of you! I'd do it in my dreams when I can actually have sex with him!"

He glared and began tickling me. "Take that back!" he said, laughing as well.

"Nathan! Stop! You're going to make me pee my pants!" I exclaimed, but only made him laugh more.

"Say it, Haley!" he replied.

"Okay, okay! I don't fantasize about Ashton Kutcher!" I yelled. He stopped and pulled me against him again, kissing my forehead. I then mouthed, "Much," so he wouldn't be able to hear me and I wouldn't technically be lying.

"I saw that, Haley Elizabeth James!" he said.

I looked up at him sweetly. "Saw what, baby?" I asked.

He laughed. "I'm too tired to tickle you again, but I saw you mouth much, as in you don't fantasize about Ashton much!"

I laughed. "Well, I don't like lying to you Nathan!" I said.

He smiled at me, rubbing my belly. "I love you."

I grinned. "I love you, too."

Hannah began crying again. I groaned but stood with the help of Nathan. "Hey, I'll get her and you go make a bottle, okay?" Nathan suggested.

I smiled and nodded. "Okay, sure," I replied and watched him go pick up the little girl. He was so adorable.

"I got you. I got you," he said, grinning at the baby. "Are you hungry little girl? Huh?" I smiled. If this is how he is with someone else's child, I can't wait to see him with out daughter. "Hales, are you going to stare at me all day or are you going to get her a bottle?"

I laughed. "I'm getting it!" I said and went into the kitchen.
