Okay I promised earlier that day, that I will update one more chapter, so here it is. Please tell me what you think!

"Certainty"
Haley jumped out of the car and shut the door. "Bye honey, see you later,." Haley said to Nathan but he only nodded. Haley turned around and ran into a tall guy. "Hey Hales, what are you doing here? I thought you were at the game?" The guy asked Haley and looked down to her. "Umm actually you're right, but I have to do something. I'll join you later and Luke don't ask me what I have to do, okay?" Haley declared immediately. Luke only formed an 'okay' and walked past Haley with a last wondering gaze. When Lucas disappeared Haley entered the wooden door of Karen's café and looked for Karen. She found Lucas' Mom behind the counter totally focused on the bills. "Hi Karen," Haley announced carefully. The raven haired woman looked up from the bills and gave Haley a warm-hearted smile. "Haley, I thought you were at the game with the others." "Umm actually right, but I have to do something really important." Karen looked questioning at Haley. "I have an appointment with my gynaecologist at 12 o'clock and I was wondering if you could come with me?" Haley asked a bit nervously while fiddling with her fingers on her purse. "Is it because of the baby? Why didn't you ask Nathan to come with you?" Haley looked at the ground and bit on her lower lip because she was embarrassed. "Did you not tell Nathan about your pregnancy, yet?" Karen asked and walked a bit closer to Haley. She put her finger under Haley's chin and raised it until Haley looked into Karen's eyes. Karen opened her eyes wider and gazed at Haley questioningly. The auburn haired girl only shook her head. "Haley you promised yesterday, that you'd tell Nathan," Karen said urgently. Haley rushed away from Karen and ran her hands through her hair. She went behind the counter and glanced desperately at Karen. "I know, I know, but today it's the game and Nathan was so nervous about it and I don't want to make him more nervous and confused. I also thought that maybe the test wasn't right and I don't want to make him worried for no reason. So, could you come with me, please?" Haley begged and gave Karen a hopeful look. Karen sighed and went to Haley and rubbed Haley's back sympathetically. "Haley of course I'll accompany you. You can always count on me."
Haley was sitting nervously in her gynaecologist's waiting room and was waggling her legs up and down.
She was only a few minutes away from finding out if she was really pregnant.
The doctor only had to call her name and then she would know if she was pregnant.
"Mrs. Haley James Scott, please!" The doctor's assistant suddenly shouted and Haley immediately jumped up from her chair.
Karen who was sitting right beside her stood up too and nodded giving Haley her consent.
Haley took one last deep breath and then she walked slowly to the assistant, behind Karen.
"Hello Mrs. Scott. Please take a seat there. Dr. Turner will be here in a few minutes," the assistant declared and pointed into an empty room with a lot of sterile, cold and unwelcoming equipment.
Haley sat down on a grey armchair and Karen sat down beside Haley.
The girl looked nervous and absentminded and her knees were shacking. At this moment Dr. Turner entered the room and welcomed Haley and Karen.
"Hello Mrs. Scott. How can I help you? You told my assistant that there is something you want to know," the doctor said and sat down on the left side of Haley.
"That's right. Well, yesterday I took a test and I think I'm pregnant and I want to be sure that I really am," Haley explained to the doctor her knees still shacking.
"Well, I think we need to do an ultrasound and then we can be certain. You are aware that those pregnancy tests aren't always correct?" the doctor asked while he searched for something.
"I know that Dr. Turner, that's why I am here."
"Okay, then please raise your shirt and I will do the ultrasound," Dr. Turner said and turned on the ultrasound machine.
Haley pulled her shirt a bit higher and the next moment she felt the cool and slippery gel on her belly.
Haley searched for Karen's hand and Lucas' Mom took Haley's hand.
The three of them were looking at the monitor, but only the doctor could see something on it.
"I would say congratulations Mrs. Scott. It seems you are a mother-to-be! There you can see the little heartbeat," the doctor said and pointed at the monitor.
Haley got a little smile on her lips and her eyes became glassy.
She turned her head and looked at Karen. She smiled at Haley and ran her hand over Haley's hair.
"I'm going to be a mom!" Haley said happily and Karen only smiled at her.
Now it was official. Haley and Nathan will be parents in a few months.
"A-and how far along am I?" Haley asked the doctor and looked at the monitor again.
"Umm I would say around 9 weeks. Of course you are questioning yourself why you didn't recognize that. Well, sometimes our body plays jokes on us," the doctor declared and removed the gel from Haley's belly.
Haley pulled down her shirt and stood up from the armchair.
"Okay Mrs. Scott. I think you should come to me in about a month and I hope the next time your husband will be with you." Haley nodded.
Of course the next time Nathan will be with her.
Haley already could imagine that. Both would watch the monitor where they could see their little baby and Nathan would lay his hand on Haley's growing belly.
It was already all in Haley's mind. Finally Dr. Turner gave Haley an ultrasound picture of her baby and said goodbye to her and Karen.
When Karen and Haley left the office she continued to stare at the picture. Of course the picture didn't show too much, but for Haley it didn't matter, it was and always will be the first photo of Nathan's and her baby.
"Come on Haley, I'll drive you to the game. It isn't over yet," Karen declared and both got into the car.
