12th of May

Haley was in bed she couldn't even get up. She felt so tired. She had been sick for about 3 days now.

Nathan came out of the bathroom all dressed up for school.

He sat beside her and kissed her forehead.

"You shouldn't kiss me." Said Haley with a tired voice. "It's probably the flu and now you're going to catch it. It's not good for basketball." She added with concern.

Nathan brushed the hair from her face and laughed. "Do you really think if it's flu that its going to stop me from kissing my beautiful wife?" He brushed his lips against hers. "Even the ebola couldn't!!"

Haley smiled. "How is it possible to be so sweet? I'm so lucky I married you." She added squeezing his hand.

"I'm so lucky I've found you," he added caressing her cheek. "You really should go and see the docter today Hales...I'm really worried now," He said with concern. "I don't want you to stay here alone."

"I won't be." Said Haley smiling. "Brooke will be here in a minute to take me to the doctors."

"How come you listen to her and not to me?" Said Nathan in mock hurt.

"Why? Hmmmm because when Brooke James starts harassing you, you better comply or your life is going to be a living hell!!" She added laughing.

"Okay..." Said Nathan kissing her again. "I'll try to be back early." Added Nathan standing up as someone knocked on the door.

"Don't worry...Take your time." Said Haley nicely." Brooke is free all day so I've got a babysitter."

Nathan smiled and nodded.

He came back in the room about a minute later with Brooke who jumped on the bed and crashed beside her sister.

"Oh my god tutor wife! You look like a wreck!" Said Brooke hugging her. "I'm going to take care of you."

"Geez...Thanks Brooke." Said Haley in mock hurt.

Nathan kissed Haley softly. "You're perfect." He whispered in her ear. "I really need to go." He added loudly looking at the clock.

Haley nodded.

"Take care of my angel". Nathan asked Brooke." And call me in case you need or want anything." He added to Haley. "I love you...Always." He said smiling.

"I love you...forever." Haley said completing Nathan.

They looked at each other for a minute smiling before being interrupted by Brooke squealing.

"Awww you guys!!!" She said smiling. "You're so cute!!! I'm such a Naley groupie!!" She added hugging her sister.

Nathan rolled his eyes. "See you girls later." He said finally leaving.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brooke and Haley were waiting for the doctor to come back in the room. He had run some blood tests to try and discover what was wrong with Haley.

He came back and sat to his desk after a while.

"Well…Mrs. Scott you're pregnant." Said the doctor his eyes still on the chart

Brooke's jaw just dropped.

"I…what? I'm sorry… What?" Said Haley arching her eyebrows.

"You're pregnant." The doctor said again.

"I…" Haley sat back and looked at Brooke.

"You're sure?" Brooke finally asked.

"I'm positive." Said the doctor starting to get annoyed.

"Well… You'll need a appointment to follow up with this pregnancy." Said the doctor putting the chart back on the desk.

"Let me go and grab you some leaflets about being pregnant and the follow up appointments. It will give you some time to absorb the news," added the doctor leaving the room.

Brooke turned to look at Haley as she saw a tear falling down her cheek.

"Don't worry lil'sis, everything will be just fine." Said Brooke taking Haley's hand and squeezing it to comfort her.

"I'm worrying about Nathan's reaction. I mean he has every right to freak out and…and I don't want him to worry. I'm sure we can figure something out. I don't want him to give up basketball! He doesn't need to anyway," said Haley like she was talking to herself. "I've got enough money to get us through college even with a child." She added feeling less stressed already. Money is clearly not an issue she thought.

Brooke stood up and hugged her sister. "Haley you're the most selfless person I know. You just discovered that you're pregnant and the only person you worry about is Nathan. You guys will be fine. I'm sure of that." She said with a smile.

"I don't know..." said Haley with doubts and fears floating in her eyes.

"How come? You two love each other! You're made for each other!! Naley is always and forever." Said Brooke in a cheery tone. "It can't go bad." Added Brooke as a prayer. It can't go bad please god let my sister be happy she's the one who deserves it. She added to herself. She felt a lump building in her stomach.

"Thank you for being there for me" said Haley sincerely hugging her sister.

"I'll always be there for you Hales." Said Brooke her voice shaking with emotion.

Brooke drove Haley back to the flat and stayed with her for a little while. She swore to keep the secret until Haley told Nathan the truth.

Brooke finally left and Haley was really stressed about announcing the news to Nathan so she started to pace around the flat. However around 5 she decided to lie on the bed for a while but she was too tired and fell asleep.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nathan came back to the apartment from Basketball practice to find Haley fast asleep. "I love watching her sleep. I could do this forever. She's so beautiful, like an angel. She's my angel. He thinks as he sees her chest rise and fall and hears her even breathing.

Nathan looked at the time and realized how late it was. Wow its already 8, he thought before bending down and kissing Haley's forehead softly.

"Hmm hi hunny" Haley said sitting up in the bed still sleepy from her nap. I don't know how to tell him this, Haley thought freaking out. I want a real kiss before I tell him, she decides.

"Come here" she told him grabbing him by his practice jersey and crashing her lips to his in desperation and passion.

"Mhmm okay not that I don't love that but how did the doctors go?" He asked looking into her eyes and brushing the hair out of her face.

Looking into his eyes she knew she had to tell him. She couldn't keep secrets from him. Especially one this big. "Umm I don't know how to tell you this…you know I love you more than anyone and I hope you know that" Haley told him biting her bottom lip and twisting her wedding band before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. "I'm pregnant. We're pregnant."

"Uh what?" Nathan asked in disbelief.

"We're pregnant" Haley said nervously smiling.

"You're kidding me," Nathan said trying to stay calm by falling apart. "We can't be pregnant," he shouted.

"Nathan when you have sex there's a risk of pregnancy!" Haley yelled back.

"Weren't you on birth control! Damn how can you try and ruin my life?" He screamed. "Are you going to keep it?" He yells curiously.

"What the hell Nathan! Yes I am going to keep our baby. This baby was made out of love. Just because you're being an ass now doesn't mean that this baby wasn't made out of love. I can't believe you!" Haley shouted offended that he could think of killing their child.

"Wow you're doing a pretty great job at trying to make me not go after my dreams by getting knocked up. I can't deal with this. I'm leaving." Nathan said shaking his head of disbelief at everything that happened.

"Don't you dare leave Nathan Royal Scott!! You can't leave, not when I told you you're going to be a dad." Haley yelled the tears streaming her face as she furiously wiped them away. "Please Nathan don't leave. I need you" Haley begged looking at him. His eyes that were normally so warm and loving towards her now cold and empty.

Nathan just looked at her, shook his head and left the apartment slamming the door behind him and going to the only other place he felt was home.

A few hours had passed and Haley was sobbing on the bed, one hand on her stomach and the other clutching her cell phone. She had tried calling Nathan for a couple of hours but he wasn't answering the phone.

Finally there was a knock on the door. Hoping it was Nathan she ran to the door and wretched it open, her heart breaking more when she saw it was Jake.

Jake wanted to see if she was feeling better but what he saw made his blood boil. Haley was standing with her hair pulled on top of her head, loose strands hanging limply around her face, blood shot eyes and tears streaming down her cheeks.

"What happened baby girl?" Jake asked soothingly.

"You know I thought that nothing could hurt more that what happened to me back in Pasadena...I was so wrong…I…I'm pregnant and Nathan is far from happy." Haley said looking up at Jake with her scared eyes. "He actually accused me of ruining his life and he isn't answering my calls." She whispered.

"He's probably just scared" Jake said trying to reassure her that everything would be okay even if he was pissed beyond belief.

"You were scared when you found out about Jenny but you didn't leave a pregnant wife and you took care of your child!" Haley told him.

"Do you want me to stay awhile? At least until you get a hold of him?" Jake asked his voice soft.

"No. I know you have plans with Peyton. I'll be fine" She reassured him.

"Are you sure?" Jake asked not wanting to leave Haley but knowing she probably needed time to process everything.

"Go Jake. I'll talk to you later." Haley said pushing him out the door.

"I'm always here for you baby girl," Jake promised her before leaving.

Haley crawled back in bed and kept trying to call Nathan until 1 am when she finally cried herself to sleep. Her last thoughts before drifting to slumber was, who would have thought a year ago she would be here best friends with her sister, married and pregnant without a husband to support her.
