Pictures of You

"Bumps in the Road"

"Hello Haley, Nathan." Dr. Simmons said to the young women as she shook the young couple's hand's. "Wow, that's a mighty large bump for four months." The female doctor said to Haley in a light airy tone.

"And it just keeps getting bigger, some days I feel like I'm going to tip over." Haley laughed at herself. Nathan just laughed and shook is head silently at his wife knowing that she actually had tipped over this morning while getting out of bed.

"Well why don't you lie down so that we can see what's going on in there." Haley did as told and lied down on the paper lined table as she did many times before in the last three months, as Nathan took position in the chair near the table. He gave Haley's hand a quick squeeze as Dr. Simmons finished spreading the gel on Haley's growing stomach and flipped on the ultra sound monitor. The doctor sat there for a minutes slipping the gray wand over the clear gel. All of a sudden she made a sound that, to Nathan and Haley almost had a confused ring to it.

"Doctor?" Nathan cleared his throat. At her called title Dr Simmons turns around and looks at the couple with a bright smile.

"Ok so do you want to know the sex?" her voice was cheery and she almost bounced as she went to the counter to fiddle with things after getting nods of approval. Dr. Simmons went over to the ultra sound machine and moving the want again. She soon brought her slender finger to the screen and pointed to the fuzzy picture, "this is your baby girl!" she said in a congratulatory air. A single tear slipped down Haley's cheek and in to the corner of her mile wide smile.

"A little girl Hales" Nathan whispered as he kissed her temple. Haley brought her left arm around her husband's neck and closed her eyes to revel in the moment.

Last summer something terrible had happened to Haley. Something that she would never be able to forget, but would be able to get over. Something she had gotten over. And now look at her she was going to be a mom, she was happy and she knew Nathan was two by that stupid smile on his face. Some people actually most people thought that she was just hiding from her rape, that she hadn't dealt with it, and that she was most defiantly not in any position to be a mother any time soon. They were wrong.

"And this is her sister." Dr. Simmons broke Haley from her train of thought.

"What?" Nathan choked out. "two? Oh wow- two babies?"

"Two little girls?" Haley said at the same time, just as stunned.

"Yep! I'll go print out some pictures." The Doctor flounced out of the room after she

"Holy crap!" Haley yelled to no one in particular as she threw her hands up into the air. "Nate, what are we going to do?" Her voice was smaller this time. She was so scared "I just turned eighteen, were practically poor we're hardly making ends meet! One is going to be hard enough but two? Two babies Nathan? What are we going to do?" By this time Nathan had made his way to Haley, lying down on the table with her, lying one arm around her back and the other in the valley between her breasts and her growing stomach, kissing her hair.

"We'll make it baby, we always do. This isn't any different."

Haley was sitting on the couch in the living room…in the dark…waiting for Nathan to come home…at one in the morning. Then she heard the unfamiliar sound of his clunky Tim's on the wood steps mixed with the sounds of the cold December wind. Then Nathan stumbled in to their small lavender one bedroom apartment, only after he fumbled with the house keys out side the door. Nathan kicked off his shoes by the door and threw his jacket onto the beige arm chair right next to her. He had yet to notice her. Nathan made his way over to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of water, and from the light he noticed his wife out of the corner of his eye.

"Haley! Holy shit!" He jumped back, after he calmed down some Nathan made his way over to the couch and sat next to her…making sure to keep his proximity, sensing that he was in trouble. "What are you doing awake? We have school tomorrow." Nathan brought his hand to her back and began to rub soothing circles. She was sitting Indian style on the plush couch with her hands rested in her lap.

"I woke up and you were gone. Where were you?" He noticed her cracking voice and his heart sunk…he has worried her.

"I went to Luke's. I told him everything, I guess we just talked." Nathan pulled her into his lap, her head resting on his chest and her legs draped over one of his after he realized she had forgiven him. They sat like there like that, just enjoying each other's company.

"You didn't leave a note, and we got hungry." She murmured, she could feel the fibers of his shirt start to stick to he tongue. Haley could feel the vibrations in his chest when he let out a deep chuckle. "Hey don't laugh at me!" she yelled playfully as she pushed away from him.

"Ok so what do you want to eat?" Nathan got up reluctantly, and started looking trough the fridge for something edible.

"How about some toast and not sauce. I want something spicy." Haley continued to go about her business while Nathan stood over the refrigerator door looking at his wife like she had threeheads. Hot sauce and toast? He repeated to himself. "Oh I have an idea, what if we make a list of names for the girls!" An hour and 7 slices of toast later the list consisted of 10 names:

Molly

Emma

Sophia

Hilary

Bethany

Olivia

Lilly

Ryan

Ava

Anne

They had got into bed about thirty minutes ago, Haley's back was facing him but she was cuddled against his side. Nathan turned over and planted a protective arm over her stomach, absentmindedly drew small circles on her stomach with the pad of his thumb.

The truth was that Nathan had gone over to Lucas' house and cried like a little girl. He was scared…no that's a under statement…he was way past terrified. What is he wasn't a good dad? What if he morphed into some kind of cynical version of Dan? What if, with collage, and all the different necessities (that they had yet to get) with two babies, him and Haley slipped into some crazed state of poverty.

Lucas had reassured him. Reminding him that Brooke, Peyton, himself, Karen, and even Deb were all here for Nathan and Haley. Lucas was a great brother…he had taken for granted only those few years ago.

He felt it.

And then he felt it again.

And again.

Nathan felt the babies kick…and he was on a high. A blissful, idyllic, perfect high. And at that one little moment he knew that all his fears and worries shouldn't be his own. And he chuckled at the thought that it took one little vibrations from his wife's stomach for him to realize it, no matter how many times he was told.
