AN: Okay so imagine that the doctor's part is actually true in medical terms.
Chapter 3
An hour later found Nathan walking aimlessly around town. He felt hurt and broken going over Haley's words to him. He knew he deserved it. He was going over ever word that Haley had said to him. And he couldn't help but admire her and fall in love with her all over again. She was being the type of mother he wished he had. A mother who protected her son. A mother who would never let her own child's father hurt him. He found himself wondering what he did that was so bad that he deserved a mother like his own, a druggie who walked away when things got tough. 'Oh yea that's right I walked away from my own son, too.' He thought to himself bitterly. 'I guess the apple really doesn't fall far from the trees.'
He hasn't talked to anyone from Tree Hill in six years. He not only walked away from his wife and son but he also walked away from his new found brother and his best friends. He wondered what they were up to. He'd heard about Brooke's success with her much dreamed about fashion line. He'd also read Lucas's book "A Broken Promise" he'd named it. Funny enough it talked about their relationships, Lucas's friendship to Haley, Peyton and Brooke and his love for them. He even talked about the little brother he never knew he wanted until he had him. One big difference though was the happy endings. Sophia and Chad got married and had a daughter. Hilary Got married to Bryan and they started an art gallery together. James chose Bethany over his dream of the NHL. And Bethany got pregnant, and in the end they chose each other over everything else. 'If Only I'd been as smart as James.' He thought to himself.
Last he'd heard of his parents Dan was still the same old ass only poorer. And his mom had finally divorced his Dad and was out of rehab and clean and even running Scott Motors with his Uncle Keith. Ironically his mom got it in the divorce seeing as how her family paid for everything to support Dan through collage, when they were younger. She ended up with everything Dan has ever owned except for the beach house.
At least he thinks most of that is true. You've got to love modern technology! That is where he got most of his information. 'God bless Google.' he thought sarcastically.
"WHAT THE FUCK?" he heard the exclamation of a familiar voice. He looked up and felt his heart hurt. Cause standing not too far away was his brother Lucas and his best friend Jake. Last thing he remembered was himself freeze before a fist crashed into his Face.
"Honey I am home!" yelled Brooke jokingly walking into the kitchen.
"Hello! oh so wonderful Godson and Best friend." Greeted Brooke while kissing Micca's cheek. She paused for a moment when she noticed Haley's puffy red eyes. "You okay Hales?" she asked worriedly.
"Yea I am okay" Haley answered.
"Are you sure?" she asked one last time. Brooke noticed Haley glance at Micca and then Back at her again before answering.
"Yea we'll talk later. You hungry?" she asked Brooke.
"Mac and Cheese?" she asked lovingly.
"What else Tiger?" Micca asked Brooke cheekily.
Brooke Chuckled looking at Micca "Your Mom should really start learning to cook." she told him with mock annoyance.
"HEY! I can cook just fine thank you very much." Haley replied with mock hurt.
- 2 hours later –
"Hey tutor mom!" Greeted Brooke popping down next to Haley on the couch.
"Hey Tiger!" replied Haley with a broken voice.
"Want to tell me what's wrong?" asked Brooke.
"He's back." Said Haley.
"Whose back sweetie?" asked Brooke while dreading the answer.
"Nathan." Said Haley while wiping an escaped tear from her eye.
Brooke felt her break for Haley after just listening to her say his name. They hadn't mentioned him in six years. The last time was when Brooke saw Haley break down in panic saying that her husband had left her, that her baby's father left. She can still remember that day in full detail. The pained look on Haley's face right before she fainted.
- Flashback –
"Haley James-Scott?" called the doctor to the waiting room full of Haley's family and friends.
"Is she okay?" asked Lucas walking up to the doctor with Brooke, Peyton and Jake hot on his heels.
"Are you family?" he asked kindly.
"I am her brother in law." Lucas answered him.
"Okay maybe we should go somewhere more private." Suggested the doctor.
"That's okay were all her family." Answered Lucas. "Look can you please just tell us what's going on?"
"Of course." Replied the doctor. "Your sister in law suffered a stress induced miscarriage." Gasps were heard between the four friends.
"Haley was pregnant?" asked Lucas with a pained expression.
"Yes she was, she is three and half weeks along."
"Is?" asked Lucas.
"Yes we were able to save the second baby. That's the good news. As far as were medically concerned the baby is healthy. She'll just need to be careful to stay away from stressful situations and stay in bed for at least a week."
- end of flashback -
"Oh honey"
"I don't know what to do Brooke! What am I suppose to do? He left me, LEFT ME without even caring. I spent years of my life waiting for him to come back to me, wising that I would have been good enough. And then I spent day by day feeling numb after I realized he's never coming back. God Brooke If I had lost Micca too…..Why wasn't I good enough Brooke? Why wasn't my son good enough?" she asked while crying hysterically.
"HALEY! Sweetie STOP you are good enough Micca is good enough! Haley you are the strongest person that I know. You raised your son all on your own-"
"No, no I didn't I had you guys! You guys made me strong, I leaned on all of you. You and Lucas and Peyton and Karen and Jake. You guys helped make me who I am. You're our family Brooke! But not Nathan he abandoned us he left ME Brooke"
"Yea you did sweetie you had us and you will always have us. So whether you forgive Nathan or not we will ALWAYS stand by you. No questions asked. But Haley Micca still needs his dad whether you do or not." Brooke replied softly.
"I know, I know your right! I just…..need time" Haley replied while resting her head on Brooke's shoulder.
