Nathan and Haley are walking up to Nathan's house when Nathan says
"Hales I have been keeping something from you and I have got to tell you."
Haley looks surprised and scared when she says "Ok spill your guts Scott."
Nathan responds with "Here why don't you come inside and sit down on the couch."
Haley says "Nathan is it really that serious."
Nathan opens the front door and says "Yeah it is, Mom Dad I'm home. I will be right back Haley."
Haley sits down while Nathan walks down the hall into a room.
Nathan comes out of the room a few minutes later holding a baby girl.
Haley starts to look very confused and starts to think 'Nathan doesn't have a baby sister, and if so it wouldn't be that big of deal that I would have to sit down. Alright, what is going on? Am I being punk'd?'
Then Haley stuttered out "Is… Is she yours?"
"Yep she is all mine" Nathan said looking down at his daughter suddenly more nervous then he already was.
"How old is she?"
"Six months." A few minutes later Nathan asks "Want to hold her?"
"No I'm good, I don't think I should"
"Come on Hales, you love kids, your great with kids." Nathan then started to hand her the baby.
The baby starts to reach out for Haley then grabs some of her hair and pulls it into her mouth.
"See she loves you already, just like her father does"
Haley just looked up at him still confused out of her mind then she looked back at the baby and asks "What is her name?"
"Katherine Mae Scott. Or I call her Kate most of the time."
"Well hello Katherine Mae Scott! Nathan it's a beautiful name, for a beautiful girl, she is truly beautiful Nate"
"Thanks, my mom helped me with the first name and Mae is my grandmother's name." Nathan said.
It was silent for a few minutes when Haley said "Hmm looks like someone is getting sleepy."
Nathan answered with "You bet I am" Haley laughed while Nathan checked the time on his phone
"Nah it is time for her nap, you want to help me?"
"It's okay I will wait here" Haley responded while handing Nathan Kate "Okay I will be right back then"
Nathan came back in about 10 minutes later and said "Sorry it took so long she was fussy, and I love watching her sleep!"
"It's okay."
"Listen I know I have a lot to explain but just let me talk okay." He said questionably
"You got that right but I will let you talk"
"Alright her mother and I got drunk at a party and slept together. Three weeks later she comes and tells me she is pregnant and that she doesn't want to keep the baby. I told her that because we made a mistake doesn't give us the right to kill an innocent child."
Nathan was starting to sweat and get nervous as he kept talking
"So I told her that once she has the baby that I would take her and raise her by myself if she signed over sole custody because I didn't want problems in the future. So she signed over custody of Kate. After that I changed, no more drunken nights at parties and a different girl every night I said I was just going to focus on Kate and only Kate from then on. Until I met you and I though she is different, and in the good way, I could love Haley James, and I do and I though since we were starting to get serious and you had the right to know, I didn't want to lie to you."
He looked over at Haley and then said "What are you thinking? Do you want to still date me knowing about know this?"
"I'm thinking that you are a great father and that I can live with this. I love the face that you made a mistake but you didn't let it affect Kate. And that after knowing all that I fell in love with you more"
The look on Nathan's face was pure surprise when he said "You're really not mad about this?"
"Mad, how could I be mad we have only been dating 3 months. If I were in your position I would have waited a lot longer out of pure fear, but I'm glad you didn't. But you do have a lot more to explain."
"Good because I can't imagine my life without you in it, all I need for life to be good is for me to have Kate and you in it." Nathan then leaned in and kissed her. Then he said "And I know I have a lot more to explain but I will be happy to, for you."
Haley then asked "Who else knows about her?"
"Just Lucas, my parents, and the rest of my family."
"That's all?"
"Yep, oh and Whitey, I told him, that's why sometimes I'm not at basketball practice because I'm watching Kate and he lets me skip."
"That's so sweet of him"
"Yeah, but what is even more sweet is that he stops by at least once a week to check on, her us, and me to see how we are doing. He just loves her and she loves him, he is like her other grandfather, to make up for the one from her mother's side she doesn't know."
"He is a great guy, but so are you! You ever think about going public?" she asked
He answered with "Sometimes, actually a lot more recently, ever since I met you but I wanted you to know first, I figured you had the right,"
"Thanks I am glad you did."
"But I was also wondering, could you ask Karen if she has any open shifts at the café, maybe, we could use the extra money."
"Sure u know what's great she has a crib there that she keeps for Jenny, Jake's daughter, when he works."
"Oh, great that way I wouldn't have to pay for a babysitter."
"Well unless it's me your going out with you got a free babysitter right here, even sometimes we could take her with us."
"Really?" he asked wondering if she really wanted to do that.
"Yes really!"
"It sounds like fun but with all this it means that I'm going to have to tell everyone."
"Well I will be there with you every step of the way."
"I guess I should start with Peyton, Jake and Brooke first then. Right? He asked.
"Yeah, then after we tell them we can work on ideas of how you wanted to tell everyone else."
"Okay!"
"Nathan we are going to get through this, together!"
Next Chapter-Nathan and Haley tell everyone
