Hey everyone! Well this is one of my first fics so tell me how I'm doing.

The background is that Nathan and Haley got back together after the whole Chris\music drama. This story takes place currently when everyone is 26 and that would make the flashback in italicized to be when they're 21.

"Beeeeeeeeeep" Nathan Scott's alarm clock went up. He was already awake and had been for hours. It was always hard for him to sleep this time of year. It was the anniversary of when his beloved Haley and unborn child had been kidnapped from their apartment 5 years prior. That day had started out as a beautiful Autumn day and Nathan was happier than he'd ever been before; he had a gorgeous wife and they were soon to have their first child together. He remembered that morning so clearly, so vividly…

Nathan woke up from a peaceful night sleep, to a beautiful, auburn hair, with gorgeous brown eyes figure next to him, who also happened to be heavily pregnant. She still looked stunning, Haley always looked gorgeous even without any make-up. Haley was one of the rare, natural beauties. He loved watching her sleep, he could watch her sleep forever.

Haley's eyes fluttered open. "Hey how did you sleep" Nathan asked his pregnant wife,

"Well pretty well considering being 8 and a half months pregnant, I only had to get out of bed like 3 times to throw up and I'm pretty sure we're going to have an active little child. She was up all night kicking." She said tired but happily. Haley was so happy about being a mother and was so excited for the arrival of their little girl. "Speaking of, it looks like she wants some attention now." Haley grinned as she could feel their baby kicking."

Nathan put his hand on Haley's stomach and felt the kicking. He couldn't help but grin. "Just think, in a couple weeks from now we'll be parents and get to change diapers and have about 2 hours worth of sleep every night."

"I know! I'm so excited" Haley responded happily.

Nathan laughed, "Yeah, me too. O and just for future reference she isn't dating til she is like 30. Just to clarify."

"Nathan!" Haley laughed. "Yeah she'll definitely put up a good fight because, o I don't know, her parents "aka us" did get married at 16."

"Yeah………well," he laughed. "Ally will not be doing that," he said taking an over protective father role already and using the name they had given to their child. "We had some big problems doing that," he said referring to the infamous Haley leaving town/Chris/music scenario.

"Well everything turned out alright, I mean and every newlyweds have their problems……," Haley replied. They could now openly discuss what happened and be able to move on from all that drama. "And besides she won't be able talk or walk or even eat on her own for awhile yet."

"True," Nathan grinned at the thought of seeing their baby walking for the first time and saying her first words.

"Yeah wow I can't believe we're going to be parents soon," She said beaming with sheer happiness.

"I know it's so amazing. I love you, Hales and I love Ally. Don't you worry, I will always protect you two," he said genuinely and honestly.

"I know you will. That's why I love you so much," she said as she kissed her husband.

God, reality was such a bitch at times. For a few seconds there, Nathan felt as if everything was the way he dreamed it would be, the way it was supposed be.He just stared at the part of the bed next to him, the place where Haley should be, but some bastard took Nathan's whole life away 5 years earlier. Now, Nathan would begin the 5th year without Haley and it was still as painful as ever. He doubted the pain would ever go away.

There are so many dates each year, so many that meant so much before and leave so much pain now. Haley's birthday, Haley's due date for Ally, the day he found out he was going to be a father, his wedding, and the worst one, the one where Nathan was told Haley wasn't coming back. The detectives told him a man confessed to murdering Haley and their unborn baby; he gave descriptions on how he did it. Nathan could seriously murder that man with his bare hands and feel not one ounce of guilt. That man obviously didn't give a damn about anyone other than himself. Nathan thought the death penalty was way too good for that bastard. Thanks to him, everyday without Haley and their baby was Hell. A part of Nathan, though, hadn't give up for Haley's return, in his mind they never did find her body, and that meant there was a little hope. How did they know that man wasn't a liar, but unfortunately Nathan's detectives he had hired told him to let go and move on. They said she was in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean somewhere most likely not to be found. Move on? How could Nathan move on? Nathan hasn't been able to have one peaceful night since the kidnapping, his heart has been broke in millions of pieces, and he can't even breathe without her. The thought of her beautiful body somewhere just thrown in the ocean made Nathan full of rage. How could anyone be so inhumane? Nathan can't even believe the type of pain that fills him to think of his poor little Ally. He doesn't even know if she even ever saw the outside world or if she was brutally murdered along with her mother. Why did this have to happen? That's the question Nathan Scott wondered every day since his pregnant wife's kidnapping. Why couldn't he of been there, to protect them. He wasn't able to keep his promise and that tore him up inside.

Soooo what do y'all think? Love it? Hate it? Plz Review :) I'll try to update by Monday or so.
