Little Wonders
Chapter 1
It was a year after the accident that changed our lives. I think that it changed us in a good way. Nathan has been even more protective of me since that day. I know he won't admit it, sometimes when I see him alone, watching TV or getting ready to go somewhere, I still see that guilt. Sometimes I just look at him, wait until he sees me, and then I break apart from what ever I was doing and just kiss him. I break away and say, "Baby it is okay. I'm here. And so is our son. I love you." Then his smile shows. It doesn't matter if I have to remind him every once in awhile because then I make sure that he knows its okay. I find it funny sometimes how I can just look at him and know what he is thinking.
The past year has had its ups and downs. Nathan was always there, making sure I was okay through the remainder of my pregnancy, trying to make enough money for what we need and also in the process of graduating high school. My husband would take me out, maybe just for a walk or something to eat. He would hold my hand and squeeze it ever so gently three times, meaning "I love you". I would do the same back.
To this day I wonder "how did I get so lucky?" I have a husband who loves me with every ounce in him, a son that is an only a few months old and still will always take my breath away, and friends who are always there. Nathan, our son, and I are at Duke University. With the help of Dan, we were able to get an apartment on campus. School for us isn't bad, but it does get difficult when we have a son in our lives. For the most part, since graduation, we couldn't be happier. Nathan and I switch off from going to school and work so someone will be with the baby. But now that it is Christmas vacation, we have plenty of time maybe even to be alone for a few hours.
This Christmas we are heading back to Tree Hill. Everyone, including Dan, Peyton, and Lucas will all be at Dan's beach house with us. Brooke is planning on stopping by and Karen will also be there with her baby daughter, Sophie.
It is the day before Christmas Eve and in a few hours we will be on the road driving to Tree Hill. I wake up in my husband's arms and he's still sleeping. Surprisingly, James seems to still be sleeping as well. He is usually the one waking us up in the morning. I can tell Nathan is in a deep sleep, but it's a bummer that I'm the only one awake. Before we had James, I was usually the first one to get up in the morning, but now I'm not used to it. I laugh at this. I notice that Nathan has started to stir a little, but he then goes back to sleep. The light in the room is very bright when it comes through the windows. I look outside the window to find something that definitely brings a smile to my face. Snow!
