I own nothing. This is my first One Tree Hill fic and since the Christmas season is officially upon us with the passing of Thanksgiving, I figured that this fits. This isn't going to be long considering once Christmas season passes, the spirit is lost. I hope you like the story and review because I'm always open to some constructive criticism. Just an opening, Naley are married, Jeyton and Brucas are also together. And for the sake of Christmas, Deb and Dan are together as well as Keith and Karen. This starts 2 weeks before Christmas.

Nathan Scott walks into his apartment, followed closely by his half-brother Lucas. He abruptly stops and his eyes drift around the small space until they stop on his wife, Haley, as she continues humming as she works not noticing them having come in.

"Hales, what is all this?" Nathan asks with a groan.

Haley jumps in surprise as she swings around to face both Nathan and Lucas.

"Oh, hey guys. Well, I just figured the apartment needed a little holiday cheer." She responds with a smile as she goes back to putting up her decorations.

"Where did all this stuff come from? We can't afford this." Nathan says as he finishes surveying all that she's done.

"Don't worry Nate, I borrowed it all from Karen and your mom. Hey Luke, will you grab that wreath right there and put it on the door for me?" She asks as she points towards the couch.

"Sure thing. Do you have a hanger?" He asks as he walks over and picks it up.

"Yeah, it's right there with it." She answers as she concentrates on setting up a nativity scene.

"Haley, why are you doing all this? It's not like anyone besides us is gonna see it and we're gonna be at the café for Christmas anyways." Nathan asks her as he drops onto a stool.

"Nathan, that's not the point. Christmas is all about the spirit and it's one of my favorite holidays. I grew up in a house big on all this, so I'd like to continue the tradition and keep it up for my future kids. All I'm asking you to do is appreciate it and enjoy it. I'm not even asking you to help me put up the decorations. I don't know why you have to be so difficult sometimes." She says with exasperation.

"I just didn't think it was a big deal, especially since we won't be here. I didn't know you got so into it. I mean, last year you didn't make such a big deal out of it. If it's what you want, I'm not gonna stop you and I just figured we'd wait til the kids came along to start the traditions." He says as he gets up from his stool to stand next to her.

All the while, Lucas is listening as he's subconsciously putting up more and more decorations.

"Well, it's a big deal to me. I made a big deal out of it last year, but I did it with my family. That was before we got married, so I didn't wanna drag it all into your life just yet. I just like to start early. This is our first Christmas as a married couple and I'd like it to be special." She says as she stands up straight to face him.

Nathan pulls her into his arms and looks down into her eyes.

"Guys, I'm gonna head out, I'll see you later…" Lucas says as he backs out the door without anyone noticing.

"Hales, I want it to be special too. No matter what, it's going to be special just because we're married, which will make everyday for the rest of my life special. If it's a big deal to you then it's a big deal to me. What can I do to help?" Nathan asks with a smile as he leans down and gives her a short, sweet kiss.

"Well, for starters…"

They continued to cover the apartment in various decorations for the rest of the day. They stopped only when interrupted with their friends showing up.

"What the hell is all this?" Brooke asked with disgust as she burst through the door startling Nathan and Haley.

"This is Christmas. Hey guys, what's up?" Haley replied with a smile.

"Christmas my ass, why are you even bothering with all this crap? You guys are putting it up for just us to see and then you'll just have to take it all down. I mean, unless you plan on having sex in a pile of tinsel, what is the point?" She asks as she looks over at their newly decorated Christmas tree.

"Brooke, don't you know the true meaning of Christmas." Haley laughs as she walks over to her friend and slings her arm around her shoulder.

"No, but I'm pretty sure it's not all about this crap." Brooke says with a smirk, feeling that she proved a point.

"True, this 'crap' is for the spirit to help along the true meaning. The true meaning is being with the people you love and being happy. And personally, being with all you guys in this festive room makes me a pretty happy camper." Haley says as she admires her handy work.

"Well, I would think that you'd be happy with us no matter what room you were in, but whatever." Lucas says with a playful smirk.

"Shut up you. I only put up with you because you're his brother." Haley replies gesturing towards Nathan.

"Funny how that works. Especially considering I was your best friend before you even liked him, let alone married him. Just ironic isn't it? You know you love me anyways. Admit it, I'm your favorite Scott." Lucas laughs as he puts his arm around her shoulders and then proceeds to put her in a headlock and give her a noogie.

"Hey hey hey, you better watch your response to that." Nathan laughs as he walks over to her other side and puts his arm around her.

"I plead the fifth!" She says as she breaks free from them both and falls back onto the couch between Peyton and Brooke.

"I'm not entirely satisfied with that answer, are you Nate?" Lucas asks as he looks at Nathan with a playful look in his eyes.

"Nope, what should we do about this little predicament" Nathan asks as they both advance on the girls.

"That's no fair, she can't pick a Scott. Especially since both of you guys are so loveable. Sike!" Peyton says with a laugh.

At this, both boys rush the couch. They yell for reinforcements and Jake, who had been quietly observing the scene, rushes to their rescue. Each guy is immersed in tickling their respective girlfriends as they wiggle and yell.

"Lucas Scott, if you don't stop right now, no sex for a week!" Brooke yells out as she tries to squirm out of his grasps, which abruptly loosen.

"Ha, ha, Brooke Davis wins yet again!" Brooke says triumphantly and laughs until she feels tickling again, this time coming from Nathan as he and Lucas have switched.

"Nathan Scott…I'll…I'll…I'll make Haley not have sex with you for a week if you don't stop!" Brooke chokes out hoping it will work for lack of better excuse.

"Same goes to you Lucas Scott! Let go or Brooke won't have sex with you for a week!" Haley gets out as all three boys finally stop tickling and collapse onto the couch half on top of their girlfriends.

"Well, that was fun." Lucas says with a sigh.

"Shut up." All three girls deadpan.

Eventually, the gang decides it about time for them to head out. They all say their respective good byes and see ya's as the couples walk through the door.

"Brooke, your mission for tonight is to put up at least one Christmas decoration before you have sex with Lucas." Haley shouts at the retreating figures.

Brooke doesn't even turn around, but instead Haley sees her stick up her middle finger in response and laughs.

"Are you ready for bed Mr. Scott?" Haley asks as she makes her way back towards their bedroom and Nathan starts to follow.

"Ready and willing Mrs. Scott" Nathan says as he follows a few steps behind her.

"Do we have any extra tinsel?" Haley giggles as Nathan closes the bedroom door behind them.

Well, that was Chapter 1. I hope you all liked it. Everything is happy-go-lucky now, but they will face some obstacles soon. Even though this is a Christmas story, it wouldn't be a story without some drama. Let me know what you think. I'll update soon!
