Lucas Jr.

Interesting Phone Call

Haley hung up the phone and stared at it for awhile deep in thought.

Nathan walked into the room talking about Lucas and how he still isn't any better after he was left at the alter last month, but his words fell on deaf ears. He walked over and sat down next to Haley.

"Hales? Earth to Hales?" Nathan chuckled, then he frowned and took the phone out of her hands. "Haley? What's wrong?"

She blinked to bring herself back to reality. "I just got off the phone with a man looking for Brooke, about her son."

Nathan's jaw dropped. "Her son? What son?"

Haley shook her head. "I don't know, but he's like sixteen years old so he has to be Lucas' son too."

"Woah, Lucas and Brooke had a son? Does Lucas know?" Nathan asked in shock. "I mean I doubt he'd pull a Dan Scott."

"He didn't. There is no way he knew and just abbandoned his son." Haley sighed. "I just can't believe Brooke never said anything to him or to anyone." She frowned.

"Why did this guy call you?" Nathan asked.

"I let Brooke use our lawyer for that thing with her company and her mother since she couldn't use the company's lawyer and the lawyer contacted me about Miss Davis' scandal. Her mother can use this against her. I can't believe even her mother didn't know."

Nathan scoffed. "She can use it against her even if she knew. It was Brooke's choice unless her mother made her, but I doubt it because her mom wasn't around that much."

"Well if my math is right-"

"Which it always is because you're a nerd."

Haley gave him a weak glare. "Sixteen years ago was the first time Lucas cheated with Peyton and they broke up, then Brooke left for California a few months later and returned a few months after that. That's enough time for her to have a son and give him up for adoption, if she was a few months pregnant before she left." Haley sighed. "Then when she came back... she acted like nothing ever happened."

Nathan put his arm around her and gave her a comforting squeeze. "You have to talk to her."

"I know. I was going to call her, but I had to wrap my head around it all first. Now I just don't know how to ask her."

Nathan turned on the phone in his hand and pushed a button then he brought it up to his ear and waited a moment.

"Hey Brooke, Can you come over? A young boy really wants to see you." He hung up and turned to Haley. "She'll be over soon, okay?" He said then he kissed her head.

Haley sighed. "You should not have told her that."

"Look, she'll come here for Jamie, I'll pick him up from school and take him to visit Uncle Luke, then after you two talk this out you call me and I'll come home with Jamie and Brooke can see him."

"No, I mean, there is another young boy who wants to see her.... her son. The lawyer said that his grandfather got him tickets to come see her. He is coming from New York, this weekend."

Nathan blew out a breath. "Oh, wow. Well, now she's on her way so, um, I'll go get Jamie."

Haley scoffed when he stood. "And leave me alone with this, thanks!"

He leaned down. "Hales, you and Brooke have become so close. She'll tell you, I know she will, all you have to do is talk." He gave her a quick peck then he walked away.

Haley sighed. "I hope you are right, Nathan."
