A one-shot that might turn into a two-chapter story.
It's a take off of the last Nathan and Haley scene from tonight's episode on November 17, 2008. Plus I loved the whole 1930s/1940s theme episode.
Nathan and Haley had gotten married on Nathan's last night home before his unit deploys. Haley walks with Nathan to the airplane and kisses him after he promise that he'll come back to her.
Nathan pulls something out of his pocket which is a copy of his id tags.
"I want you to wear this every day. As long as it shines it means that I am still alive and loving you. I will come back to you because there is nothing that can keep me away from you. I love you so much." Nathan says.
He puts the chain around her neck.
Through her tears Haley smiles and says, "Thank you, I put a picture of me and my lucky bracelet in your bag next to your compass. I'll write to you every day."
They hug and kiss once more before Nathan has to get onto the plane.
Haley waves and waits for the plane to take off before she heads back to her house.
The next several weeks pass for Haley. She continues to sing at Lucas' club. Nathan had asked Lucas to take care of his young bride while he was gone.
The two of them write each other everyday just as they promised they would.
Haley opens her front door and down the front walk to the mailbox.
She opens the mailbox and pulls out a stack of mail, closing the mailbox she walks back to the house going through the mail. It is mostly bills and other junk. Halfway through the pile she comes across a letter with Nathan's handwriting on the front. Haley grins as she quickly enters the house and closes the door behind her.
She drops the mail on the table by the couch. Sitting back on the couch she opens the letter carefully.
She begins to read the letter out loud
"Darling Haley,
It has been so long since I got to see your beautiful face, touch you, kiss you. I want so much to hold you in my arms and to kiss you. I miss the sound of your voice. This war is so long and hard but the faster this war goes the sooner I'll be home with you and we can get a house of our own and start that family we were talking about having.
I look at your picture everyday for as long as I can. How are you doing at home Mrs. Scott? I love the sound of that. I hope your hanging in there. I'll be home soon I hope. I love you my darling.
All my love,
Nathan"
Haley wipes her eyes and goes to the desk and puts the letter back in its envelope and into the box with the other letters. She pulls out some paper and writes out a letter in response.
Sweetheart,
I miss you so much too. I'm glad to hear that you are safe. I'm counting down the days until we are reunited. Lucas has been taking good care of me in your absence.
I spend a lot of time sitting in the gazebo where we spent your last day together. It brings me comfort to sit there because I can feel your presence there and in the club by the bar. I love being announced every night at the club as Mrs. Nathan Scott. It makes my heart swell with pride every time I hear it.
I keep the big picture of you in every room and I carry a picture of you with me where ever I go. I cannot wait for your safe return. I listen to the radio everyday listening for information about your unit and pray every night for your safety and I read the paper every morning hoping not to see your name on the casualty list.
I miss you and love you so much. I can't wait to see you again.
All my love,
Haley"
She folds the letter and sticks it into one of the envelopes that she had already addressed. She seals the envelop and writes her name on the return address label in the top left and stamps it.
Haley stands up, walks to the door grabs her purse and wrap before walking out the door closing it and locking it behind her. She gets in her car and drives to the post office to mail the letter.
