Here is another chapter! It's more or less just a fill in, but enjoy!

Quinn rested her head on the back of the lounge chair, not thinking that the tiniest little movement would wake up the little bundle of joy sleeping in her arms. A couple seconds later, the baby's cry echoed throughout the house.

"Oh sweetie, please stop crying! Mommy needs some sleep!" Quinn yawned, rocking the baby as she walked into the bedroom and sat on the bed. She thought back to that day she really hated to think about, but couldn't help it.

* FLASHBACK *

Quinn woke up to the faces of many doctors and nurses crowded around her.

"Where's Clay?" She managed to get out.

"Quinn? You've just had a beautiful baby girl! Would you like to meet her?" One of the nurses replied.

"Where's Clay?" She repeated.

"You're boyfriend? He's with your daughter. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you."
"I'm not too sure about that." Quinn mumbled to herself. She didn't take her eyes off the door until a tall, blonde haired figure appeared in the door, holding her new daughter.

"Hi." Clay said, handing the baby girl to Quinn.

"You want to talk about it?"

"No. I've had enough drama for one day."

"But I need you to tell me what you're thinking. Do you hate me?"

"Hate you? Quinn I love you. But right now… I just don't know if I can trust you, or believe you anymore."

"I don't know what else I can say other than I'm sorry. I lied, I know. A relationship is supposed to be about honesty. But I just couldn't bear to think of you leaving me! And then I got pregnant and… I thought you might leave me if I told you."

"Quinn you should have just told me. Now you've just made it worse."

"I know. Oh gosh I messed up majorly!"

"You got that right."

"So what are we going to do?"

"Work it out, I suppose."

"Yeah, work it out." Quinn sighed, staring at the sleeping baby in her arms.

"In the meantime, you got any names for this baby of ours?"

"Well we never really got a chance to talk about it…"

"Now's our chance."

"I really want her middle name to be Lydia."

"Then that's what it will be."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

"What about a first name?" Quinn asked Clay, then continued. "I was thinking maybe Addison, or Claire. Or maybe even Sofia."

"I really love the name Addison."

"Addison Lydia Evans."
"It's perfect."

* END FLASHBACK *

Quinn sighed. She knew this wasn't going to be easy, but she was going to have to try and keep herself together. She placed the warm bottle of milk in the baby's mouth, before watching Addison slowly fall to sleep. She placed the baby in the centre of the bed and decided to get something to eat, since she couldn't remember the last time she had eaten.

"Quinny, you home?" A voice echoed from the front door.

"In the kitchen." Quinn replied.

"Hey!" Haley exclaimed, pulling Quinn into a hug.

"Hey Hales. How have you been?"

"Enough about me Quinn. Are you doing okay?" Haley had a concerned tone in her voice.

"Not really. How's Clay?"

"He still won't budge. He doesn't want anything to do with you right now. Sorry."

"That's okay, it's the least I can expect from what I did. Thanks for letting him stay with you for the moment, I know you didn't want him to but he needed the space, so I suppose I couldn't do anything about it."

"Yeah, well like they say, distance makes the heart grow fonder."

"I hope so. I need to ask you something."

"Yeah Hales?"

"Why did you do it?"

"Do what?"

"Lie to everyone."

"I hate what I did. I vowed to myself that no one would ever find out about it, but it just got to me."

"I understand what Clay is going through. You lied to him, and he will need some time to get over that. But it's not what you did that disappointed me. It was that you didn't tell me, and instead kept it to yourself. I mean you were having a baby for goodness sake!"

"I know! I know! I am so sorry Hales!" The yelling of Quinn & Haley caused the echo of cries from the bedroom. "I gotta' get her. Give my best to Clay." Quinn finished, moving swiftly to the bedroom.

Quinn picked up Addison from the bed, slowly rocking her to calm her down.

"I have an idea." Quinn said to herself. She rushed around the room packing clothes and baby supplies into a suitcase. Before long, she was packed in the car, and driving off into the distance.

Quinn knocked on the door of the average sized house with one hand, and in the other arm held the baby. The house was painted a light brown colour with plants covering the verandah. It had a very homey feel to it. A tall, blonde haired figure appeared in the doorway, holding a toddler with short blonde curls and a big smile.

"Quinn?" The figure asked.

"Lucas!"

"Oh wow, it's so good to see you! And look at your little girl! Wow it seems like it's been so long." Lucas replied.

"It's a long story. I needed to get away from Tree Hill for the moment, too much drama. Could I stay for a couple days?"

"Of course! I heard about what happened. You can stay as long as you like."

"Thanks, Luke. Sawyer is so big!" Quinn waved to the little girl, who buried her head into Lucas' shoulder.

"She's a little shy with strangers. But once she gets to know you, she'll love you." Lucas put the little girl on her feet, but grabbed onto Lucas' leg before he could get away.

"Oh she's adorable!"

"You're gonna' love parenthood. Do you want me to get your luggage out?"
Quinn nodded. "Thanks."

"Peyt's inside, you can go straight in." Lucas said as he picked Sawyer up.
Quinn walked through the hallway of the house, glancing at all the family portraits on the walls. She peeked into the kitchen, only to see Peyton sitting at the bench reading a magazine.

"Hey Peyton!" Quinn exclaimed, seeing a surprised Peyton look up from her reading.

"Quinn! What are you doing here?" Peyton asked, smiling.

"I thought I would come and visit for a couple days, get away from Tree Hill and all the drama."

"I heard. Well I'm glad you're here, I've missed having a shopping partner!"

Quinn laughed. "I haven't exactly been able to do much shopping the last couple of weeks." Quinn said as she glanced down to the baby wide awake in her arms.

"Can I hold her?" Peyton asked.

"Yeah!" Quinn said, before passing Addison to Peyton.

"She's gorgeous. You did good, girly!" Peyton laughed, looking at the baby in her arms.

"Isn't she? She is what is keeping me going right now. With Clay and I having a break, and everyone mad at me, it seems like my life is falling apart."

"Oh, honey. It will get better. Right now everyone is just trying to take it all in, and deal with it."

"I hope so, Peyton. I really do. In the meantime, I just want to have a good time with you guys." Quinn sighed. "But I really miss Clay."

"Oh honey I am going to make you forget all about your problems while you're here." Peyton swapped Addison over to her other arm. "Oh! Let's have a girls night! We can go out, have some drinks, and go dancing! It will be so much fun! I don't exactly have any 'girlfriends' here in LA to do that stuff with."

"I don't know, Peyton. What about the baby?" Quinn fiddled around with the fruit in the bowl on the counter.

"Lucas will look after the girls. C'mon, you need a night out. It'll be fun!" Peyton smiled. "Please?"

"Okay, fine. Just as long as it's okay with Luke."

"Of course it will be! Oh this is going to be awesome!"

Clay sat at the counter and took a sip of his beer. Never did he think this was how it would end up. He was lonely, and couldn't help but drown his sorrows by drinking. Haley walked into the kitchen, took one look at Clay, and sat next to him.

"How was Quinn?" Clay asked Haley.

"Not good. She's only just coping. I think all of this is taking its toll on her." Haley replied, opening the water bottle in her hand.

"I can't face her. Not now. I just need to deal with this my own way."

"I know, honey. It's going to get better, trust me." Haley put her arm around Clay. "God it's hard not having Nathan around. He's always away, I'm always lonely. But I want him to be happy. And this makes him happy." Haley looked at Clay, and leaned in closer. Their faces both moved closer to each other's until their lips were touching, each knowing how bad this was.
