Here is my new story.
It's set 9 years after season 3. Nathan and Haley have a little girl.

The title is from a song by Martina McBride


The little girl sat on a chair, waiting for something to happen. As far as she could remember, it had always be like that. Nobody never noticed her. She just passed, unknown. Her thoughts brought her back to the days when things where different. Then she was just like every other little girl. Everything changed that day. She clung to the bracelet on her wrist. Her mother had gave it to her right before she died. Sure, her dad cared about her, but it wasn't the same. Nothing would ever be the same. The year passed and the memories slowly faded away. But still, she remembered.

Chapter One: The Beginning

Nathan looked over where his little girl sat. She was his life. He remembered the day he found out he was going to be a father. It was a few days after the school shooting.

flashback

Nathan and Haley were sitting on the couch in her living room, watching a movie, but nathan could see that her mind was miles away.
"Hales, what's wrong?" he finally asked.
"Nothing"
"Come on Haley, I know you, I can tell something's bothering you.
"Nathan...I...I...Nothing, just drop it, ok"
"Hales, tell me, you know you can tell me everything" he was really concerned now.
Haley got up and started pacing nervously.
"It's just I don't know how you're going to react and"
"You're starting to scare me. Come on, it can't be that bad. Well as long as you're not gonna tell me that you're going on tour" he joked.
"It's not funny Nate"
"Sorry. Just tell me what it is"
"Ok, so things have been kinda hectic the last few weeks, but it was starting to get better, I mean you and I are great and aside from the consequences of the shooting, everything is finally falling into places. But now i don't know..." she stopped for a moment "oh god I never thought it would be this hard to tell you, but there it is. Nathan...I'm pregnant"
She looked at him uneasy, but he just stared at her, trying to process what she had just said. She thought he didn't say anything because he was angry.
"Look Nathan, I know it's huge and it totally wasn't planned. And I know last time we 'talked' about it you said it couldn't happen. I'm on birth control so I don't know how it happened. I know we're young but I think we could manage and"
She was cut by his mouth crashing on hers. He kissed her passionetly and when he released her, he had a huge grin on his face.
"We're gonna have a baby. I'm gonna be a father" was all he said before pulling her in another deep kiss.

Sure it had been hard sometimes, but they were together and they were happy. And 8 months later, their daughter, Ryan Sky Scott, was born.
