I just was looking at traffic for LAY and it blew me away, not only did I have a ton of hits this month, and their hasn't been any updates on it since February, but in March there was almost 4000 hits, guys this makes me want to cry, I just stared at my computer with my jaw open for like five minutes, I love you all so much and that inspired me to update today even though I was going to wait till I had more written but this inspired me to write as well. You are all so amazing so I love you all. I didn't even think LAY was very good, it definitely wasn't my best work.
The first few chapters aren't the best, but it is set up and junk. I hope you all will love the storyline I have in mind and I will give you one hint, someone in season six (not Julian) who was majorly involved in a Brooke storyline, is majorly involved in Naley's life. Sorry if their are any mistakes I wanted to post it ASAP that I only read over it once.
Sorry to all the Brulian fans, I was going to make it Brulian but then I remembered that LAY was Brucas, but don't worry because my next story (which is mainly Naley) has Brulian and Leyton. But please do not not read if you don't like the other coupling because it is a NALEY fic and I hardly include other couples.
You didn't have to read LAY to read this, A summery is included at the bottom A/N and this chapter is probably a little boring because it is mainly the epilogue, but I wanted to 'refresh' your minds, the storyline picks up next chapter but I hope you like it. Most of it is in Haley's POV but it is occasionally in Nathan's.
A special thank you to Naley12 because she inspired me to write Hold You In My Arms, along with helping me make decisions, especially in picking the title, so this chapter is dedicated to you!
Let me just say, I just got all the OTH soundtracks (I had friends with Benefit, but then I lost it) And I am now completely obsessed and I just keep shuffling them, and it makes me remember each moment that that song goes with. I think it sucks that James is only in 7 episodes considering that OTH gave him a job for 9 years and what else is he doing since Generation Wild didn't get picked up! I think that is horrible, but I can't help but still love him, especially shirtless…..
And I need all of your help, we need to petition for a full season because after nine years we deserve to get one since it is the final season, us fans have worked hard to get each season and we can do this. But this is not the way I want the show to end, only getting half its allotted time, it's just not right! Plus I want more naley!
Alright enough of my rants and onto the story, remember REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW and if I get five reviews I will update in a week, or else it will be longer, and if I get five it might possibly be sooner, : )
Summery of Look After You: Nathan and Haley were friends growing up then he finally got the courage to ask her out. They had their ups and downs facing car accidents, evil parents, and psychotic cheerleaders but they made it threw in the end.
Sorry it's not a great summery but you don't really need it.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything!
The call I most dreaded. I didn't want it to come, but it did. Looking back I remember the last time I was truly excited and happy over something. That was four days ago.
Nathan walked across the river court with a bottle of whiskey in his hand; he took a large gulp before sitting on the bleachers before allowing himself to break down an cry. He though back to the last time he was happy. That was four days ago.
Four Days Earlier
"Honey, I'm home" Nathan shouted walking threw his and Haley's apartment. Setting his briefcase on the coffee table and throwing his suit jacket on the couch, loosening his tie, slipping off his shoes, and rolling up his sleeves to his dress shirt.
They were somewhat newlyweds. They had been married five months ago, on the beach. They had a very, very long engagement, lasting four years. No one knew how they did it. They both graduated college now Nathan began a business with his best friend Clay Evans, who he met in college. It was called fortitude, they were sports agents. Nathan got the best of both worlds, basketball, and Haley. They had recently been trying for a baby. Working out the timing that Haley would have the baby in July and be able to have finished the school year teaching. She had begun teaching tenth grade English at Tree Hill High, she absolutely loved it. Then after the baby was born she could choose to stay home with it or go back to work, or at least some kind of work. Not like they needed it, Nathan's salary was nothing but small.
"I'm in our room." He heard Haley yell from a distance. He walked into the bedroom where her back was to him. She had been folding laundry as Nathan came up behind her, wrapping his arms around her.
"Hey Baby" Nathan whispered into her ear.
"How was work?"
"Good, I signed another player today."
"Amazing, you're amazing" She whispered turning around in his arms to kiss him. As she did her mind wandered to the first time he signed a client.
Nathan ran into the apartment filled with excitement. "Haley! Haley where are you?" He yelled.
She walked out of the bathroom in jeans and a t-shirt, with a rag in her hand. It was a Saturday, Nathan was working so she decided to get caught up on some housework. "What Nate?"
"I did it!" He yelled running over to her.
"What?" Haley was very confused.
"I signed my first client, I did it!" He was so overjoyed.
"I knew you could do it!" Haley exclaimed jumping into his arms, it had been a rough month, no one wanted to sign with a new agency, they were barely scrapping by, she often had to pick up some shifts at the café with Karen. She was so proud of him at this very moment. "I'm so proud of you baby, this is amazing." She kissed him as a tear slipped down her face
"Thank you for believing in me" Nathan whispered.
"Thank you for being worth it" Haley said. "Get changed, we are going out to dinner" Nathan told her, a grin plastered to his face.
Then she snapped out of her day dream, "I um…I have something to tell you" She said looking down, twisting her wedding ring subconsciously around her finger. "
What Hales?"
"I actually have to show you it, sit down" She warned walking into the attached bath then walking out with something behind her back. She pulled it out and held it in front of him, he was seated on the bed.
"Is this what I think it is?" He stumbled out questionably. Haley had a worried look on her face as she nodded. "Yes…yes!" Nathan shouted pulling her down to him, kissing her with all the passion he had inside of him.
"You're happy?" She questioned.
"Haley, we wanted this didn't we?"
"I just thought that with everything going on with the company that you would want to wait."
"Nothing, nothing is more important than you or" Then Nathan smiled putting his hand on her stomach "this baby, oh my God, I am going to be a dad, we are going to be parents."
"Yep" Haley said grinning. They were seated on the bed, with a pregnancy test, laying somewhere on the floor around them "Are you sure?" He questioned.
"Yeah, I took three different tests this morning, all positive, I also scheduled an appointment at the doctors, its tomorrow morning. I was hoping you would come with me?"
"Of course, there is nothing I would want more." Nathan said.
"Then we can go out to lunch after, I will take the day off." Haley was smiling.
"I guess I was just over exaggerating before, I mean you were the one who brought up the baby subject to begin with, I guess it was just the hormones." Haley suggested.
"Oh no, what have I gotten myself into, I mean first you will start eating all the time, claiming that you are eating with two which technically you are but really not, and then you will have to pee ever five seconds. Soon you will have uncontrollable hormones. Wanting something then you will bight my head off for getting it. Then you will start complaining about your clothes not fitting you, which of course will happen because you are pregnant and our son is growing inside of you. Then you will be complaining about being fat, and you aren't fat just pregnant." Nathan said walking back and forth beginning to pace.
"Nathan" Haley said worried.
He looked over to her with a grin "Did you like my impersonation of you, your ranting and pacing, over thinking everything." He was smirking now as he sat down on the bed next to her. She slapped him playfully.
"Don't do that to me Nathan, I thought you were having second thoughts."
"Nope, just thinking about what's to come, but it will all be worth it when we are holding this precious baby."
"Oh, typical man, you don't have to go through anything."
"What, what about midnight food runs, dealing with your hormones, almost breaking our hands while you are having contractions." Nathan protested. Haley new she only had to say two words to win this battle
"Labor Pains" He thought then responded. "You win." She laughed.
"Wait did you say our son?" Haley questioned just realizing he said that.
"Yep, Hales you know it will be, as much as I want a little girl that is just like you, my grandfather had two sons, Lucas…Me… and I think my great grandfather had six kids, out of six of them four were boys."
"A little boy with your eyes" Haley stated looking at his eyes.
"Are you happy?" Nathan questioned staring into her eyes. "So happy" Haley responded leaning into kiss him but Nathan stood up, Haley looked at him questionably.
He then lifted up her shirt and kneeled down in front of her. "Hi baby, its daddy! I love you so much, and so does mommy. You are so special and so loved already. We can't wait to meet you. So grow big and healthy and strong okay." He laid a gently kiss on her stomach and stood up. Haley stood up as well.
What she had just witnessed took her breath away, to see this side of Nathan was amazing to her. "I love you" She whispered pulling him into her. When they pulled away he was staring at her stomach "I just can't believe is real, there is a baby in your stomach." He sounded like a five year old as he laid his hand on her stomach as she laughed gently. "We are going to be parents, it's actually coming true all we have ever wanted."
They were finally getting the family they always wanted and the lives they always dreamed of.
"Hello" I said picking up my phone snapping back to present day.
"Haley Scott"
"Yes"
"Hello, I am from the doctor's office, and I am just calling to let you know that you are indeed not pregnant"
"Thank you" then there was a dial tone.
I knew this, I received my period yesterday. I sat there in the bathroom, for a while just thinking before I finally ventured out laid on the bed and cried for hours. We had really wanted this, but unfortunately it wasn't in the cards for us at this time. Nathan walked in on me and of course he asked what was wrong. After I told him he just cuddled up to me as we laid in silence. A false positive. That just so happened to have happened three times. This morning I was in denial so I took another test, negative.
It was depressing, I was so happy, Nathan was so happy. And the fact that their never even was a baby to grieve over made it worse. I guess we would try and try again, but I don't think it will be the same now that we have this grieving over our shoulder.
My phone rang once again "Hello"
"Haley, its Lucas, Brooke is in labor, we are at the hospital."
"What, oh my, do you need me to call anyone?"
"Yeah could you call Peyton and Jake."
"Sure" I heard a click on the other line as I called Peyton, then Nathan to tell him to meet me at the hospital. Brooke and Lucas both went to UNC together and got engaged towards the end of senior year. During their engagement they found out Brooke was pregnant.
I had been sitting in the waiting room for fifteen minutes before Lucas came out to get ice chips, Brooke was only six centimeters dilated, she still had a while to go. Nathan the walked in looking like crap, I pulled him aside because I saw Peyton and Jake talking with Lucas a few feet away. He had obviously been crying but tried to disguise it, and he reeked of alcohol. "Seriously Nathan, this is how you show up, one of our best friends is in labor with our godchild and you show up smelling like alcohol and looking like this, don't even try to explain. Go home and get a shower she still has a good amount of time before she delivers." He didn't even say a word before walking out.
A half hour later he showed back up and by that time Brooke had been moved to the delivery room. Lucas came out twenty minutes later, and ushered Nathan and I into the room. I saw Brooke holding a small bundle as I rushed over and looked at the sweet baby. "Oh my God, Brooke he is beautiful." I could feel Nathan peering over my shoulder.
Brooke looked to me with a smile "Auntie Haley, Uncle Nathan, meet your godson, Davis Nathaniel Scott. Do you want to hold him?" I smiled at her before taking the small bundle and beginning to cry.
You are supposed to be happy for Brooke Haley, what is wrong with you. Your best friend just had a baby and you are jealous. I couldn't help but feel upset, Nathan and I had wanted this so much and we didn't get it. Brooke and Lucas weren't even trying for a baby and they got pregnant, but Nathan and I who wanted one so bad weren't getting it. Nathan could tell that I was crying over this and not holding my nephew, but Brooke and Lucas couldn't, I hoped. Nathan took the baby from my arms and began to rock back and forth talking baby talk to him.
He would have made such a great father, and I may not be able to give that to him, maybe something was wrong, maybe I couldn't have children.
Jake and Peyton soon joined us, and about an hour later we left to give the new family time to rest. Nathan and I drove separately home; I saw he had gotten home first. When I walked in I saw him sitting on the couch waiting for me.
"Listen Hales, before you say anything, let me explain. That was how I was dealing with the baby thing okay, I shouldn't have drunk but that was how I was trying to get over it. I just I didn't want to break down around you because I knew you were hurting too and I wanted to be strong for you." I immediately hugged him beginning to cry again. "Are you okay baby, I know today was hard seeing Davis."
"I feel so happy for Brooke and Lucas, but I….I am jealous, they weren't trying for a baby and got pregnant but we can't. And then I started to think, what if I can't get pregnant, what if something is wrong?"
"Nothing is wrong with you babe, you are perfect. But if it makes you feel better, we can get you a doctor's appointment."
"Will you go with me?" I questioned.
"Of course, we are in this together." He said sweetly before kissing my forehead.
