I updated on time, are you proud of me? hehe.
This chapters very Naley, with lots of Quinn/Clay to. Some Brucas and a little Jeyton. With some HotUncleCooper, who doesn't love some HUC? (that's my nickname you see, it doesn't sound very pleasant, like Cooper. But it's just annoying typing the full thing).
Also sorry for all the mistakes last chapter, I didn't re read it because I was in a hurry. I've re read this one though:) But sorry if I missed anything.
I listened to The Fray while writing this, it really helped me write this. I love them!
Chapter 36
Haley sat in the hospital waiting room. Karen still hasn't had the baby yet, Brooke said she's been in labor for hours. It took them ages to get hold of Haley, they rang her house phone half an hour after Haley got home and told her what happened. She went straight to the hospital, she's been here for three hours, and still no baby.
The whole group is here (minus Nathan and Millie), to meet the new baby Scott. The rivercourt boys have got a bet going on. Mouth and Fergie think it will be a girl, Skills and Junk think it will be a boy. Either way two people are going to lose money.
''Where's Jake?'' Haley asked Peyton who was sat next to her.
''He needed some air.''
Haley laughed, ''Again? That's the sixth time since I've been here.''
''He went outside, um, four times before you came.'' Peyton informed her with a giggle.
''I can't believe he's so grossed out.'' she said, still laughing.
''Believe it. The bet that the guys has got going on isn't helping things, it's making him think about it even more. He's been trying to distract himself, but then I don't wanna make out. Especially not here. So then he thinks about Karen having the baby, and he feels sick.'' she told her.
Haley laughed harder, ''He wanted to make out?''
''Yeah.'' she nodded. ''He said it's the only thing that would take his mind off the gross baby stuff.''
''Yeah, I bet.''
Their giggles were cut off by the squel, Brooke's squel. ''Nathan!'' she continued squeling and jumped in his arms. Haley and Peyton looked in shock, they couldn't believe he was here. He did tell Peyton he was, but she didn't actually think he would, she thought Dan would put a stop to it.
Peyton quickly got over it and went to hug her best friend, so did everyone else. Everyone hugged him and told them how much they missed him, then it was Haley's turn. She walked over and hugged him, she didn't say anything else. She just squeezed him as tight as she could, hoping she wasn't dreaming. He was perfectly content with just holding her.
''Guys! It's a girl!'' Lucas shouted running out of the room. He stopped in his tracks when he saw his other sibling, ''Nathan, oh my god, I can't believe you're here!'' he exclaimed. Haley quickly moved out the way so Lucas could give his brother a 'man hug'.
''Wait, it's a girl?'' Brooke asked.
Lucas broke away from the embrace and grinned, ''Yeah, it's a little baby girl, baby girl Scott.''
''Damn.'' Junk and Skills whined and each gave Fergie and Mouth $10.
Hours later, it's almost midnight. Nathan and Haley sat together with Karen and the baby, still yet to be named, in the hospital room. Karen just sent everyone out and said she wanted to talk to her nephew who she's missed, and she needed to tell him and Haley something. She's not had a chance to tell them yet because Nathan's to busy making baby noises.
''You are the prettiest baby in the whole wide world, yes you are, yes you are.'' Nathan cooed over her.
''Nathan, can I hold her now?'' Haley asked impatiently, she's held her for one second before Nathan saw her, then he held her and he's not let her go, she wants a turn.
Nathan sighed, ''Fine.'' he said annoyed, handing the baby gently over to his girlfriend.
''She's so beautiful.''
''She reminds me of you Haley.'' Karen commented, smiling at the sight of the girl she considers her daughter and her actual daughter.
Haley smiled, ''How?''
''Big brown eyes, brown curls, the cutest smile.'' she listed. Her baby already had a few curls of hair on her head, she thought it was adorable. ''It reminds me of when you used to have brown hair.''
Nathan smirked as his girlfriend blushed, ''Yeah, I've seen the pictures.'' he added.
''I want you two to be her godparents.''
They both stared at Karen in shock. Haley felt honoured that Karen would trust Haley with her baby, and want her to be a big part in her babies life, she didn't know what to say. Nathan felt unbelievably happy, he loved this baby the second he saw her, she was going to be the second most important girl in his life. His Goddaughter.
''Really?'' Haley beamed.
Karen nodded and looked over to her future nephew-in-law, wanting to see his responce.
''Wow.'' he muttered and turned to Lily and leaned over to speak to her ''Hey baby girl, looks like I'm your goddaddy.'' he whispered, to the baby who's now sleeping.
Haley and Karen grinned at Nathan's cuteness.
''Have you thought of any names yet Karen?'' Haley asked, tearing her eyes away from Nathan's happy smile, she hasn't seen that since right before Dan shown up at her driveway.
Karen sighed, ''No, Lucas and Keith were so convinced that she was going to be a he, we just thought of boys names, so I have no idea.''
''Have you thought of any at all?'' Nathan asked, he wants to know what to call his goddaughter.
As if on cue Keith walked in with a bunch of lillies, ''Lily.'' Karen said as the name popped into her mind after seeing Keith with a bunch of them.
''Lily Scott.'' Haley said, ''I like it.''
''Yeah, it's nice.'' Nathan commented as Keith went to sit on the other chair on Karen's other side.
''Hey Hales, can I hold my daughter?'' Keith asked.
''How much you like sayin' that, huh?'' Nathan smirked. Haley smiled and walked around to where Keith was sat and gently handed him his daughter.
Keith grinned, ''Alot. I can't believe this little girl's mine.''
''Niether can I, she's to cute to be yours.'' Nathan joked.
''Lets just hope she doesn't end up looking like her cousin.'' Haley teased, referring to Nathan.
Keith and Karen laughed, causing Nathan to glare at Haley jokingly. ''You think that's funny, huh?'' he asked playfully with his left eyebrow raised.
Haley nodded her head, giggling.
''Okay.'' he shrugged, then swiftly turned to her and tickled her sides.
''Nathan!'' she squeled, trying to push his hands away, but having no luck.
As soon as she squeled Brooke and Lucas burst through the door.
''What happened?'' Lucas asked frantically.
''We heard certain noises.'' Brooke added. ''Not very nice ones.'' her face scrunched up in disgust as she got a picture in her mind of Haley making the same noice, just a different situation.
''We chose a name.'' Karen said, ignoring Brookes' comment, and facial expression. Keith looked at her pointedly, ''Well I chose it, Keith just helped, sort of.''
Brooke grinned and sat on the edge of the bed, while Lucas sat on the chair next to Keith. ''What is it?'' Brooke asked eagerly.
''Lily Roe Scott.''
''That's really nice mom.'' Lucas complimented.
''You didn't tell them the best part.'' Nathan said, grinning from ear to ear.
''What's the best part?'' Brooke asked.
''We're Lily's godparents!'' Haley blurted before Nathan had a chance to speak, he looked at her annoyed. ''Sorry, I really wanted to tell them.'' she shrugged.
Karen noticed Brooke's hurt expression, ''Brooke honey, you know I love you. But you're going to be more like her sister to her than a parent figure. You're still going to be a big part in her life.'' she assured her.
Brooke smiled weakly, ''I know, I just want her to like me and want me to be around.''
Haley cut in, ''Brooke, she's going to love you. Who else is going to willingly take her on ten hour shopping sprees?'' she asked rhetorically, trying her best to lighten the mood.
''I guess you're right.'' she smiled. ''Now Lucas, you're taking me shopping tomorrow, I have to return all those boy clothes, and buy some girly things for my sis.''
Lucas smiled, ''There's my cheery.''
Cooper walked down the alley, stopping at the lamp post where he is suppost me meet Nick. He waited for a couple of minutes until he saw a figure walking towards him. Nick.
''So watcha want?'' he asked.
''I don't want drugs. I want info.'' Cooper demanded.
Nick laughed, ''That's gonna cost ya.''
Cooper chuckled, ''I don't give a shit, whatever it costs, I'll pay.''
''Okay, what do you need to know?''
''You know Deb Scott, she used to buy off you, right?'' he asked.
''Nah, I don't know no Deb Scott, I know a Dan Scott though.''
''Wait, Dan used to buy of you?'' Cooper asked, hoping that this would confirm his suspicions.
''Yeah,'' he answered, not seeing where this was going.
''Do you know if he used it?''
''I asked him that when he first started buying, he said it was for some bitch.'' he answered, ''Hey, I guess that's Deb.'' he figured smirking.
Cooper had to fight the urge not to punch this guy, ''When did he start buying?''
''Um, his son came to me first asking for some enhancers, then a few weeks after that Dan started buying. He didn't buy much, then it got more and more, then he stopped for a few weeks, I asked him why and he said the bitch has quit. Then he bought some more, quite alot actually. I've not heard from him since.'' he explained.
''What did he buy the last time?''
''Heroine.''
Cooper quickly threw a cooper $100 bills at him and ran to his car.
When Deb died she overdosed on heroine. She wouldn't ask Dan to buy it her, she quit. She was leaving in a couple of weeks so she didn't need it, because she was going to be free. So Dan would have been the one to get her into drugs in the first place, then somehow he got her to take it the last time, and that's how she died.
Quinn ran downstairs when she heard a knock on the door, she didn't have a clue who to expect. 1) It's only ten in the morning. 2) Haley and Nathan are out somewhere, probably at the hospital, so it's not there friends. 3) Her Dad's upstairs, so it can't be him knocking because he lost his keys. (That happens alot). She unlocked the door and didn't expect to see Clay there, not at all.
She flung her arms around his neck and hugged him. He chuckled and hugged her back. ''I missed you too.'' he joked.
She broke away from the embrace and grinned, ''What are you doing here? You're supposed to be back tomorrow.''
''I didn't need to be there, I wasn't going to miss a chance to spend a day with my girl.''
If it was possible, Quinn's smile got bigger. ''Call me that again.''
''My girl.'' he purred and pressed his lips onto hers.
She happilly kissed him back until a groan- which wasn't made by Clay -interrupted them.
''Again!'' Jimmy James' voice moaned as they turned to face him. ''It seems like everytime I come downstairs, you two are making out.''
Quinn felt disgusted when her father said 'making out', but she decided not to comment seeing the mad look on his face.
''With all due respect sir, I wasn't here yesterday, and I'm guessing you came downstairs yesterday.'' Clay responed.
''..That's what she said.'' Brooke said as she walked past Clayt and Quinn into the house, Lucas following behind. ''Hey Papa James.''
They looked at Brooke and Lucas, there way of asking for an explanation as to why they're here.
''Is Haley and Nathan here? We're going baby shopping.'' she asked.
''No, they went out, I thought they went to the hospital.'' Quinn said.
Lucas shook his head, ''We just came back from there, they weren't there.''
''Wait. Nathan's back?'' Jimmy asked. Brooke nodded. ''Did he stay here last night?''
''Yeah, his old room is Lily's now.'' Lucas answered. ''Sorry, but we have to go. We need to get some stuff for Lily.''
''Bye.'' Brooke said, Lucas took her hand and they walked out of the house, closing the door behind them, forcing Clay and Quinn to walk further in.
''Daddy, are you okay?'' Quinn asked. Jimmy looked really mad at the moment, who can blame him? His youngest daughters boyfriends sleeps at the house, and he has to see his second oldest daughter making out with hers everyday.
''That's it! No more boys in the house!'' he snapped.
Quinn glared at her father, ''You never had this problem with me and David, or Haley and Jake.'' she stated.
''David was a nice boy! So was Jake! I never had a problem with them. You were supposed to get married Quinn, then you run off with this guy!'' he shouted, pointing at Clay who had his arms wrapped protectively around Quinn's waist.
''So this is because Clay and Nathan don't suck up to you. Nice dad. You know Haley's going to be pissed, Nathan has nowhere to stay.'' Quinn told him. Knowing that her dad will be upset if both of his daughters are upset with him.
''They're bad guys Quinn.'' Jimmy said softly.
''How would you even know? You don't make an effort. Niether does mom. I've not saw mom since the wedding, and we had two conversations, I counted. Haley see's her whenever mom has time off. Which is once every couple of months, and she's only here for a few days. You're always out. Haley told me you met Nathan in the morning and they'd been dating for weeks then, you never make an effort!'' she shouted.
''You want me to make an effort? Fine. Dinner tonight. You, Haley and your boyfriends.'' he shouted back and stormed out of the room.
''Nice work.'' Clay teasingly whispered in her ear.
Haley sat in the corner booth at Karen's cafe. Karen said she still wanted the cafe open, so the head waitress Michelle is running the cafe from now on until Karen gets back. Which wont be long, because she can work and keep Lily in the back. Nathan has gone to get their food, then they're going to eat it at the docks.
Haley groaned as someone sat across from her, who wasn't Nathan. ''Hey sexy.''
''Will you go away?'' she asked completely annoyed.
''That depends, how about that date?''
Since he arrived at Tree Hill High he's been asking her out. Asking her to go to the movies, dinner, you name it. He just wont take no as an answer. Felix Tagarro has become a huge pain in her ass.
''Fine,'' she sighed, Felix grinned. ''I'll leave.'' she stood up and smirked as the smile was knocked off his face.
He grabbed her arm to stop her, ''One date. I know you're making up this thing about a boyfriend.''
''No she's not.'' Nathan said walking over to them, with a bag of food in one hand, his other hand was clenched into a fist.
''And how would you know?'' Felix snickered.
''Because I'm said boyfriend.'' he said as he wrapped his arm around Haley's shoulders, Haley smirked at Felix, hopefully he'll leave her alone now. ''And you are?''
''This is Felix, Anna's brother.'' Haley introduced. Knowing Felix, he would make a stupid comment or say that they're sex buddies or something.
''This is the asshole Luke told me about?'' he asked with a raised brow. ''Poor Anna.''
''I was just asking Haley about our date.'' Felix smirked. ''So what time Haley?''
''The date you've been asking her for since you started here? Yeah, Luke told me about that too. It's funny how she still hasn't said yes, so it looks like you'll be waiting a long time.'' Nathan said and took hold of Haley's hand. ''Lets go, Hales.'' both of them then walked out of the cafe, leaving a pissed off Felix behind.
Once they got out of the cafe, Nathan stopped. ''Why didn't you tell me about him Hales?''
''Luke didn't tell you.'' she guessed.
''Why didn't you tell me about him asking you out?'' he asked again ignoring her.
''Because you hate it there.'' she said simply.
''So?''
''You hate it there Nathan and I don't like it when you're not here either. You get so jealous,'' she saw he was about to object so she cut him off ''you do get jealous. So if I tell you some guy has been asking me out then you'll hate it even more. Or you'll come home and I don't want you to go to prison, I'm scared right now because you're here. When you're in Charlotte I bet cheerleaders are flirting with you, are they?'' He nodded. ''Why didn't you tell me?'' she asked softly.
''Because I didn't want you to feel worse about this shitty situation, and they didn't mean anything because I love you to much.'' he told her.
''Exactly.'' she grinned, hoping that he would get it now.
He pulled her into a hug, ''I love you Hales.''
''I love you too.'' she said, and smiled when he kissed the top of her head.
Haley's phone ringing pulled them apart. She pulled her phone out and answered it. ''Hello?''
''Hey Haley-Bop.'' Quinn greeted nervously.
''What's up Quinn?'' she asked, sensing her nervousness.
''Um, Dad wants Nathan to come to dinner tonight.''
Haley laughed, not really getting why her sister is nervous. ''Isn't he supposed to do that after we get serious? It's a little late for that.'' she told her, still giggling.
''We kinda had a fight about him not approving of Clay and Nathan. I told him he never makes an effort, so he said they have to come to dinner tonight.'' she explained.
''So now we have to cancel our plans because he decided he now wants to get to know us?'' she asked sarcastically, clearly pissed off.
''Yeah.. and if he still doesn't like them no boys are allowed in the house anymore.'' she added quickly.
''What?'' she exclaimed.
''Love you to Hales, bye.'' she said quickly again and hung up.
Hales turned to her boyfriend who had a worried expression on his face. ''Looks like we're having dinner with Daddy tonight.''
''These are so cute!'' Brooke exclaimed as she looked at some mini pink converse.
Lucas sighed, ''Brooke, you bought her some of them. But in purple.'' he told her.
They've been shopping for hours. Brooke has been in every baby store and bought bags and bags of stuff for Lily. Luckily, they're in the last store now, so they'll be gone soon. Much to Lucas' delight. He is happy that Brooke loves his sister just as much as he does, and that she wants to spoil her. But does he have to be there while she does?
''Well, you can never have to many converse. Except Peyton, she has like a billion pairs.'' she rolled her eyes and put the converse in the shopping basket.
''Brooke, are you sure you're okay about the godmother thing?'' he asked her.
She turned to face him. ''Luke, I'm fine. I promise.''
''Did you know that mom was going to pick you and Haley before we started dating?'' he asked, knowing she didn't know that.
''Really?'' she asked shocked.
He nodded, ''Yeah. She wasn't exactly sure if I was going to tell you how I feel, but I did, and when I marry you, Lily will be your sister. Haley's practically family, she wanted her involved. And no offence, Haley is more responsible than you.''
Brooke giggled. ''What do you mean she was going to pick me and Haley?''
''She was thinking about it the actual day I told you I loved you, she was wondering if you could have two, but then I told her we were together and she picked Haley.''
''Do you think about that? Marrying me?'' she asked, completely flattered.
He nodded, ''Of course I do. Brooke Penelope Scott.''
''I love you so much Lucas Eugene Scott.'' she said, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Lucas grimaced ''Now that just killed the mood.''
''I love your middle name.'' she lied.
''And I love you for lying about it.'' he said, kissing the tip of her nose.
Haley and Nathan walked into the James' house. After there little dissagreement they ate their lunch at the docks. After that they spent the day walking around Tree Hill. Then later on they went to the hospital to see their goddaughter, they love saying that.
Quinn and Clay were seated nervously on the couch, as they walked fully into the living room.
''How will I get him to like me?'' Clay asked his girlfriend. His hands are actually shaking, he's so nervous. He's never had to have dinner with his girlfriends parents, well parent in Quinn and Haley's case.
''Just be you.'' Quinn answered simply.
''That's no good.'' he whined.
''That is true. Clay used to be a man whore.'' Haley added.
Quinn glared at her when Clay looked even more scared. ''Thanks Hales.'' she said sarcastically.
Haley shrugged, ''It's your fault we're doing this.''
''Yeah, I thought Jimmy liked me.'' Nathan said, kind of hurt.
''Well you are an ass, who can blame him.'' Clay sniped.
''Woah.'' Nathan exclaimed, lifting his hands up in surrender. ''What did I do?''
Clay sighed, ''Sorry Nate.''
''Dinner's ready!'' Jimmy called from the dining room.
They glanced at eachother nervously before heading into the dining room. When they got their Jimmy was already seated at the head of the table. So Nathan pulled out Haley's chair for her, trying to make a good impression. Clay followed his lead and did the same. Quinn and Clay sat on Jimmy's left side, Quinn closer to her father. Nathan and Haley sat on his right side, Haley closer to Jimmy too.
''Smells great Mr. James.'' Nathan complimented.
''Yeah.'' Clay agreed. He really doesn't want Jimmy to like Nathan better than him.
Quinn gave her father a look, her way how telling him to say thank you. ''Thanks boys.'' he said. ''So, Haley told me you moved to Charlotte Nathan, how do you like it there?''
''Not so much. It's got nice weather, I have some friends there, but it's not home.'' Nathan told him.
''You live there with your father don't you? What's he like?'' Jimmy asked.
''He's an asshole.'' Haley muttered.
''Haley!'' Jimmy scolded ''That's not nice.''
Nathan chuckled. ''No, she's right. We don't really get along, I'm closer to my Uncle Cooper.'' he said. It wasn't exactly a lie, he just really wants the subject to get changed.
''Cooper is so hot.'' Haley said trying to change the subject, she sighed when she realised it wasn't exactly a subject, more like an opinion.
Clay laughed at her, as did Quinn.
''Sorry.'' Haley said when her father glared at her.
''So Clay, what do you do for a living?'' Jimmy asked his other daughters boyfriend.
''I'm assistant coach for the Ravens. But I'm trying to get signed to an sporting agency, I saw a guy in Wilmington who's interested in signing with me. So I may be a sports agent next year.'' Clay told him rather smugly.
''Is that how you met Haley and Nathan then, being assistant coach for their team?'' he asked. He thought it was rather odd that Clay was friends with seventeen year olds, he wants to know how it all happened.
''Yeah,'' Nathan spoke up. ''but I met Clay at TRIC a couple of weeks before. He'd saw me play a couple of times and wondered if I'd want a agent in the future.'' he lied. He wasn't going to tell him the real reason how they met Clay. Haley sent him a thankful smile in response.
''How did you meet Clay then?'' Jimmy asked Quinn.
''We met in the grocery store. I was buying some pancake mix for Hales and he was buying the one that Haley uses.''
Clay laughed. ''Yeah, I was trying to make the pancakes like Little James', hers are really good.'' he complimented. He refuses to call her Haley, he likes his name better.
Jimmy smiled, ''I see. What about you two?'' he asked Haley and Nathan.
''We met at the cafe, I knew who she was from Lucas after he shown me some photo's. Then we were just friends for a while, then I told her I liked her, and luckily she liked me back.'' Nathan told him, with the biggest smile on his face.
''What do you want with my daughter Nathan?'' Jimmy demanded.
''Dad!'' Haley shouted.
''We all know that Haley's still at virgin, atleast I hope she still is. So what I want to know is, what do you want from her?'' he asked again, slightly calmer this time.
Nathan paused for a second, ''I want everything with Haley. I love her more than anyone else in the world, and for some reason she loves me back. I want her to be my wife someday, I want her to be the mother of our children. When I see my future, I see it with Haley. I just want her to be with me.'' he told him. He wasn't saying this to make a good impression, he was honestly just saying how he feels.
Haley now had tears in her eyes, she kissed him quickly on the lips. Her way of telling him she feels the same. She didn't want to do anything more, not infront of her dad.
Jimmy coughed awkwardly, he wanted Nathan to slip up, but he didn't. It's clear that he loves his daughter. ''What about you Clay? What do you want with Quinn?''
Clay didn't know what to say, so he just spoke from his heart. ''I plan on falling completely and insanely in love with Quinn. With all due respect sir, you can stop me coming into your home. But that isn't going to stop me from seeing her. Because Quinn is the most beautiful, amazing person I've ever met, and I'm not giving her up without a fight.''
This time it was Quinn who had tears in her eyes.
I know! Crummy way to end it!
