Chapter 36

I was starting to dwell on the results now more than ever. What if Emily turned out to be like Timothy? I shivered at the thought. I wouldn't let that happen, no matter if we have it or not.

"Haley, what are you at?" Lucas waved his hand in front of my eyes. I looked over at him, realizing we had stopped at the Scott's home. "You're off in another world right now!"

I smiled at him. "Sorry, I've got a lot on my mind," I said truthfully. I opened my door and he did the same. I saw Nathan's car was pulled in front of ours and felt relieved. I ran to the door and opened it. "Nate?" I yelled into the house.

I ran up the stairs and into our bedroom, quickly passing Deb and Dan and leaving Lucas in the dust. I did notice the smirk on their faces as I passed them, but said nothing. "Nate?" I said, this time more quietly incase Emily was sleeping.

He opened the bathroom door and smiled at me. "Hey, beautiful," he said and opened his arms. I jumped into them, happy that I could finally use some of his strength. "What's going on in that pretty head of yours?" he whispered.

I pulled back and led him to our bed. We laid down on top of the covers and cuddled close before I spoke. "I'm so scared, Nate," I replied.

He moved a strand of hair behind my ear and kissed my forehead. "You have nothing to worry about, sweetheart," he replied. "I'm going to protect you and Emily from here on out, whether you have HCM or not."

I sighed and looked him right in the eye. "I have something to tell you. Actually, I just found out today, but it's really important. It will really effect us if Emily has HCM," I said.

He nodded for me to continue. I told him about Timothy, the brother I had that died. I told him he died as a baby from the horrible disease that our child might have. That I might have. He remained silent throughout the explanation. Now I just wanted him to voice his feelings.

"Nate? Don't you have anything to say?" I asked.

He sighed and pulled me closer. "Let's not worry about what could be until we know for sure if you have it, okay? If you don't have it then we have nothing to worry about."

I nodded and leaned up to kiss him, needing to feel the comfort of his lips. He eagerly kissed me back. It had been a while since we could have time to ourselves. Emily keeps us so busy! I guess I never had time to realize how much I really missed him.

His lips moved to my neck and I didn't protest. I wanted to feel him everywhere. "Nathan," I moaned.

I felt him smirk against my neck. He stopped and moved to look down at me. I gave him a questioning glance. He shook his head and leaned down to give me a soft kiss. "I love you," he said.

I smiled. "I love you, too," I replied and pulled him down to kiss me again.

"NATHAN! HALEY! EMILY NEEDS YOU!"

Nathan sighed and moved off of me. "So much for alone time," he muttered and helped me to stand.

I patted his shoulder and practically ran out of the room. As much as I wanted to stay and be with Nathan, the thought of my daughter needing me came first. Emily needed me more than Nathan. Besides, it hasn't been 6 weeks yet! We can't do anything that's too much fun!

I got to the bottom step before I started to walk. I knew they were all snickering at me for running to see my baby, but I didn't care. I took the crying infant from Deb's arms and began to rub her back. "Shh, it's okay, baby girl. Mommy's here," I whispered. I rocked her in my arms, trying to get her back to sleep.

"Hales, I don't think she's sleepy. I think she's hungry," Nathan said, trying to take her from my arms.

I glared at him. "Are you questioning my motherly instincts?" I asked quietly.

He rolled his eyes at me. "Haley, don't make this a fight. All I'm saying is-"

"Shhh!" I whispered harshly. I looked back down at Emily, her eyes were fluttering shut. "Your daddy doesn't know anything," I muttered to her.

Nathan threw up his arms and went to sit beside Lucas. I sent a glare his way and he sent one right back. "What is up with you two?" Lucas asked.

I sighed. "I'm putting her upstairs to sleep," I said, smirking at Nathan because I was right.

He rolled his eyes again. "Yeah, yeah, whatever," he replied.

I came back down 2 minutes later, baby monitor in hand. I set it on the table in the living room and sat on the couch opposite Nathan and Lucas. Deb sat on my left and Dan sat beside her. "So," I started, trying to get someone else to speak.

"When can we start planning that wedding?" Deb asked, smiling at me.

I looked over to Nathan. "I don't know, when can we start planning a wedding Nathan?" I asked, crossing my arms.

He sighed. "What is the rush? Can't we let things settle down from having Emily before we go and spend the rest of our money on a wedding?" he spat out.

I was taken aback. What was his deal? "You know what, Nathan? Why have a wedding at all? It's just supposed to be the happiest day of our lives, next to our daughter's birth! Why even bother, right?" I yelled and ran upstairs. I slammed the door to our bedroom and fell on the bed, tears falling down my cheeks.

I don't know what I did to set him off! I mean, weren't we just making out 5 minutes ago? Now he's pissed off at me, with no reason!

My cell phone rang. I didn't really feel like answering, but after I saw who was calling I picked it up right away. "Bevin!" I exclaimed.

"Hey, girlie!" she exclaimed. "But it's not just me!"

My eyebrows raised. "Well, who else? Skills?"

"Nope!" a new voice replied.

"PEYTON! What are you doing in California?"

She laughed. "I'm not! We decided to have a conference call!" she replied.

"Yeah, Tutorgirl, I'm on too!" I heard Brooke's voice and was finally comforted by having my girls with me. I gave a sigh of relief. "What's up with you, tutor mommy? Baby troubles? Hubby troubles?"

"No baby problems, but I am having Nathan problems," I replied.

"What did he do?" Bevin asked.

I sighed. "I don't know, we just had this huge blow out downstairs and I really don't feel like dealing with him right now," I replied.

"Aww, I'm sorry, sweetie!" Peyton said. "Do we need to come kick his ass?"

I laughed. "No, but thanks for the offer. I can kick his ass on my own," I said.

They all laughed. "Well, if you ever need us there, all you have to do is call," Bevin said.

Brooke squealed. "You guys should so come home! I know you've gotten the bagillion pictures of Emily that I sent you, but you need to see her in person! She's absolutely adorable!"

I laughed and shook my head. "Are you sure she's not your daughter, Brooke? It seems to me like you show her off more than I do!"

Bevin and Peyton laughed. "It really does seem like she does," Peyton replied.

"HALEY! MOM AND DAD ARE HERE!" Lucas shouted up the stairs.

I sighed. "Girlies, I'm really sorry but I have to cut this short. My parents are here and we're all eating dinner and waiting for the results of my HCM test," I said.

"You better call me and tell me how it goes!" Bevin exclaimed.

"Same goes for me, Haley," Peyton added.

"ME TOO!" Brooke yelled.

I laughed. "I'll make sure to call all of you, okay? I gotta go. Love you all! BYE!" I hung up and walked downstairs. Nathan moved towards me, but I ignored him and walked towards my parents. "Daddy!" I exclaimed and jumped into his arms. I was really happy I forgave the two of them. As mad as I was, it wasn't worth it. They're my parents and I'll always love them.

"Princess!" he said and twirled me in his arms. "I thought you'd never let us see you again," he whispered in my ear.

I pulled back and shook my head. "I could never cut you out of my life, daddy," I whispered back. I turned to my mom and hugged her as well.

"Where is our granddaughter?" she asked with a huge smile.

"Well, she's-"

"Right here," Nathan said and we all turned to see her in his arms.

I was upset because he woke her up, but decided not to say anything in front of everyone. "So, do you need any help with dinner?" I asked Deb.

She shook her head. "It's already made, Haley," she replied. I was about to speak again when she interrupted me, "and the table is set! All you have to do is go sit and eat!"

Everyone moved into the dining room, Emily in my father's arms. "She looks a lot like you, Nate," he said. "But she's got Haley's nose, for sure."

Mom nodded. "Yes, I agree!" she exclaimed and took her from his arms.

I smiled at the sight of my parents playing with my daughter. I was finally happy. Well, almost…

Nathan's hand came down to rest on my knee. I looked over at him and removed it, silently cursing Deb for making us sit by one another. He gave me a sad look, but I didn't let him say anything to me. I turned and entered the table conversation.

The phone rang and we all looked over. Everyone sat frozen; we all knew who was calling. Deb was the first to break from our daze and answered. "Yes, she's here. Hold on one second," she said and came out of the kitchen with the phone. "Haley," she said holding it out to me.

I took in a deep breath and stood. I walked over and took it from her hands. "Hello?"

"Hello, Haley, it's Dr. Ross. We have the results of your HCM test."

I sighed. "Yes?"

review please!!
