The Truth

"I'll think about it, but I gotta go my dad's calling in."

Haley and Brooke hung up and she answered her father's call. "Hello?" She said in the phone.

"Hey honey, how are you doing?" Ted asked.

"Fine, I just saw you a couple hours ago." Brooke laughed.

"I know, but you're gonna hate me for this."

"What?" Brooke asked sitting up

"I have to go out of town for a few days, I'm not gonna be able to watch Nicholas this week, maybe you can ask your mom. I'm sorry honey."

"Its fine dad, we are gonna take a little road trip anyway."

"Oh! Really where to?" He asked her.

"Tree Hill." Brooke said.

"You gonna take him to see Lucas?"

"No, we are just visiting and I'm not telling Lucas, I just have some friends I wanna see."

They talked a little longer and then Brooke packed both of their bags, and woke Nicholas up and they headed to the airport. They landed in Tree Hill and took a rental car to Haley and Nathan's house. "Momma, where are we going?" He asked.

"We were going to your aunt's house you are gonna have so much fun there!"

"My aunts house? I didn't know you had a sister." He said kicking his feet.

I almost slipped telling him about Lucas and Haley's relationship but I kept quiet and continued to drive to their house. We arrived and I grabbed Nicholas' hand and knocked on their door. Haley opened it and was in shock to see me so quickly.

"Brookie?" She said pulling me inside. Brooke hugged her and she was so excited to see her. "I didn't think you were gonna come!"

"Suprise?" Brooke said nervously as Haley laughed.

"Is this?" Brooke nodded and look at Nicholas.

"Hi! Nicholas I'm your aunt Haley it's so nice to meet you." Haley said bending down.

"It is nice to meet you too, so do you have any toys I can play with?" He asked looking around.

Haley gasped "I do, I also have a little boy just about your age who has sooo many toys in his room!!" Nicholas gasped and smiled looking at Brooke and she laughed.

"Jamie! Come here please!" Haley yelled from the bottom of the stairs. Jamie rushed down seeing a small boy next to his mom.

"Who are you?"

"My name is Nicholas and I'm 4. Who are you?"

"I'm James Lucas Sc--"

"Ohh okay little man why don't you show Nicholas all the toys you have in your room." Haley said stopping him before he could talk.

"Okay momma!" Jamie said running up the stairs, as Nicholas followed behind him.

"Thanks Hales he doesn't get out much."

"No problem."

They walked into the living room and sat on the couch. "So where's Nate?" She asked.

"Practice."

They sat on the couch for hours catching up about so many things. Finally they put the little kids to bed and Nathan got home he shut the door and Jamie and Nicholas ran down the stairs "Hey daddy!" Jamie said jumping in Nathan's arms

"Hey bud!"

Haley and Brooke walked into the front hall, Haley kissed Nathan.

"Brooke!"

"Hey Nate!" They hugged.

"What are you doing here?"

Brooke shrugged and Haley whispered in his ear and he looked back at Brooke and nodded.

"Daddy this is my new friend Nicholas." Jamie said jumping out of his arms.

"What's up Nick?" Nathan said giving him a high five

"You're lucky that you have a dad Jamie. I don't even know who my daddy is, my parents aren't together." Nicholas said talking to Jamie.

Nobody talked and then Haley broke the silence. "Alright crazy kids to bed we go." She led them up the stairs and Brooke went into the kitchen, Nathan followed behind her.

"I take it that's your son?" Brooke nodded.

"Ah, I'm sorry Brooke, his dad isn't in the picture?" Brooke shook her head.

Nathan patted her shoulder, "How old is he anyway?"

"Four."

"Really that's about when you left right, four years ago?"

Brooke nodded. Nathan had finally gotten the hint "Wait if he is four then... did you get pregnant here?" He asked, Brooke nodded.

"So its.... oh wow, that's my nephew isn't it?"

"You can't tell him Nate." Brooke said nervously.

"He doesn't know?" Brooke shook her head.

"Its late, but maybe Haley can explain everything to you."

"Wait, Haley knows?"

"She has known since the beginning, she was the only one who knew."

Nathan's mind was blown. "Look, I came to see Haley that's it. I need a place to stay just for a few days?"

"Of course." He said.

Brooke started to walk out but Nathan stopped her "Hey Brooke? I won't tell Luke but he deserves to know, both of them do." Brooke nodded heading up to the guest room.

She sat on the floor and Haley came in and joined her there "I miss him Hales."

"I know." Haley said hugging Brooke.
