Author's Note: Thanks for the reivews of Game of Love! I was utterly surprised at how everyone has received it, so I couldn't resist making a sequel. Hope you guys like this one too. It'll be ... very different. So, enjoy...and please read and review!

PLEASE READ: I think it's pretty crucial to read the first story to be able to understand this part...and the rest of the story. But, to each his own.

Prologue

Turning on the TV, she made herself comfortable as she flipped on the channel to ESPN. In about a minute, she was gonna see his face again.

"Thanks for tuning in to ESPN Sports Center.

I'm Marvin McFadden and we have a very special guest here tonight.

He's a very good friend of mine,

so let's please welcome small forward for the Charlotte Bobcats, Nathan Scott!"

Haley James couldn't help but smile at the sight of Mouth fulfilling his dream to be a sportscaster and Nathan as a pro ball player. Nathan looked obviously uncomfortable on camera, not used to having his face plastered nationally for the country to see. But he put on a brave face and smiled every time.

"Hey, man. Thanks for having me here."

"It's great having you here, Nate! But before we talk sports, I gotta ask you."

"Shoot."

"How's the family?"

Haley tucked a hair behind her ear as one hand turned up the volume of the remote control, and the other cradled a 4-year-old so close to her.

"God, everything's great. Brooke and the baby are well. It's hard to believe she's only 5 months because it seems like she's growing every second!"

"That's great. Knowing Brooke she's probably beaming as she's watching you right now--sorry, Brooke, for calling you out on it--is there anything you'd like to say?'

The camera turned its attention from Mouth--or Marvin for that matter-- and focused on Nathan.

"Well, I guess all I can say is I have the greatest wife and best friend, and she's the real reason why I'm playing basketball."

He ended the sentence with a wink and Haley smiled as a single teardrop fell from her eye.

"Oh, and the baby! Sophie, honey, daddy can't wait to see you. I'm coming home soon, baby girl."

Haley released a soft laugh at Nathan's forgetfulness, kissing the child on the forehead as the interview continued.

Right here, this life, was everything she'd dreamed of.

But she's gonna have to add one more thing.

A/N: So, trust me. There's no typos in this one. I did say read the previous story, right? Chapter 1 coming soon.
