Chapter one The Beginning
Nathan Scott started locking up the house for the night before going to bed where his wife Haley had gone a hour earlier. Pausing at the downstairs bedroom that held his two cousins he took in five years ago when their parents had decided to move back to New Zealand; he heard laughter. He shook his head smiling and knocked on the door gently and waited for the come in; he walked in and sat at the chair where the two laptops sat turned off for the night(It locked them out at ten pm on weekdays and eleven pm on weekends) and looked at the girls.
"Jessie, Lily lights out it's after midnight so not to late please?" With that Nathan got up and kissed both of their heads before leaving the room and headed upstairs to his son's room and saw that he was sound asleep before moving onto his daughter's room also seeing her sound asleep he went to bed with his wife.
The next morning Nathan was up early to make breakfast for the kids as they piled into the kitchen one by one with sleep still in their eyes, Lily and Jamie were the first two to make it to the kitchen both fifteen-shared the same birthday and born minutes apart Lily being the oldest. Jessie next at the age of fourteen she was Lily's step sister but if you didn't know any better you would swear they were actual sisters because that's how close they were and finally three year old Leigh made it into the kitchen. At three the little girl was just just starting Kindergarten at Tree Hill Elementary school; Jamie, Lily and Jessie all going to Tree Hill High with Jamie and Lily starting grade ten and Jessie starting grade nine. He watched them eat their food for a minute before speaking up.
"So what are your plans for today?" Nathan asked out of curiosity.
"Well I plan on heading over to Brooke's to deal with Anna sense she is currently freaking out about her mother's visit; Her mother is flying in at the end of the week with her husband and her two siblings." Lily said as calmly as she could while trying not to laugh at the thought of Anna freaking out over something silly.
"Well Nate I plan on heading down to the beach to work on my tan and I believe Hope and Jenny are joining me." Nate nodded at Jessie and turned to Jamie who was quiet.
"Well dad I think I'm just spending the day at the River Court with Matt working on our skills for the Ravens this year." Nathan nodded; his brother Lucas coached the Ravens and didn't play favoritism's which was a good thing even though he was really popular with the students.
At the age Fifteen Jamie looked like he belonged on the cover of every magazine and still looked just like his uncle as he did when he was little, He had blonde hair and blue eyes and was a little under six foot with Lily catching up to his height. If you didn't know any better you would swear they were the twins and not Ellie and Becca who were fraternal twins.
"Daddy." Leigh said, before taking a large gulp of milk.
"Yes baby?" He asked, laughing at her milk mustache.
"Can I go play with Penny today?" She asked, her toothy smile way too bright for eight in the morning.
"Hmm we'll need to see about that." Came a voice, as Haley stepped into the kitchen, wearing her checkered pajamas and purple robe.
"Mommy!" Leigh hopped down off her chair and ran to her mommy; Haley grinned and picked her up.
"Hello baby girl." Haley said as she kissed her daughter's cheek.
"Did you sleep good?" She asked, setting Leigh back down on the chair.
"Mmhmm!" Leigh nodded, tucking back in to her breakfast. Haley grinned and looked around the table.
"Morning kids." She laughed.
Every morning she would say every one's name, and by the end of it, everyone except her would be finished breakfast, and everyone always teased her about it, so today, she wasn't going to do it. "How are you all?" She asked them, passing by the counter to pour herself some juice. A collaborated number of 'yeah's and 'alright's' came from the table, and Haley made her way to her husband.
"Morning gorgeous." He grinned, as she perched on his knee and kissed him lightly.
"Morning." She grinned, before helping herself to Nathans toast.
"Uh, breakfast table here. Kids present." Jamie frowned.
His mom and dad could be SO embarrassing sometimes and to make it worse his mom just laughed at him and then turned the tables around on him.
"Yeah, uh-huh, it wasn't that when parents were present on Saturday night now, was it?" She asked him, with a raised eyebrow and smirk.
Jamie blushed and just put his head down groaning.
"Uh, excuse me!" Lily asked, open mouthed.
"Exactly what happened on Saturday night?" She looked to Jamie as he blushed harder; if that was even possible.
"Nothing." He lied.
"Just a date with Sam." He shrugged like it was no big deal.
"Well I guessed that part. What were you and Sam doing?" She asked him.
Jamie stood up and picked up his plate putting it in the sink and rinsing it off before saying.
"I gotta go, I'm meeting Matt soon." He rushed out of the room and up the stairs as the table erupted in laughter.
"So I was thinking." Haley spoke quietly to Nate.
"We're both off work today, maybe we should ask Peyton if Leigh can go play." She bit her lip; waiting in anticipation Nathan smirked, knowing exactly what she meant.
"I think that sounds like a great idea." He grinned, before looking around to see Jessie and Lily frowning at them.
"Jamie was right, breakfast table, kids present. Please don't." Lily groaned as she too followed Jamie's movements just moments ago.
"I don't know what you're talking about Lil, I just see me and my husband talking about spending the day alone together for once where no kids or work can bug us." Jessie nodded.
"I'm soo sure Hales." Just as Jessie and Lily were about to leave the room Leigh spoke up.
"Mommy?" Leigh asked her big brown eyes filling with unshed tears.
"You don't love me?" She asked now with tears pouring down her face as Jessie stepped in to do some damage control.
"Hey Leigh don't cry; what you're mommy meant is that she loves me and Jamie and Lily and you more then anything in the world but today she just wants to spend the day alone with you're daddy so that they can give you a a little brother or sister." Jessie said with a wicked grin on her face as Leigh's tears dried up.
"Really Jessie? I can have a little brother just like that?" Jessie nodded the ever so present grin still plastered on her face as she set Leigh down who went running.
Jessie her self then ran out of the room to avoid seeing the glares on her cousins' faces. Haley then sighed and shook her head picking up the house phone and calling her sister-in-law.
"Hey Peyton it's Haley, Leigh here wants to know if she can come over and play with Penny. Well the teens are gone for the day; Nate and me want the day alone. Oh beware your husband's crazy step-sister told Leigh that we're gonna give her a little sibling." Haley sat back and listened to Peyton.
"Yeah it's fine. After I get Jenny out of bed I plan on taking Penny to that new indoor downtown where it's suited for the younger kids afterwords I plan on taking her to Chuck-E-Cheeses for the day what do you think?" Haley thought about it.
"Sound's good. I'll go pack her stuff and get Jamie to take her over sense you guys have Matt this week right?" Haley waited in silence.
"Yeah he's here, he's in the shower though so I think it will work out. So expect your daughter back tired tonight." Haley laughed and said her goodbyes with Peyton and then headed upstairs to get Leigh ready for the day sending her out the door with Jamie twenty minutes later.
Now all she had to do is wait for Jessie and Lily to leave for the day but knowing them they would take forever. An hour later, the kids were gone, after Peyton and Lucas had agreed to Leigh coming over to play with Penny for the day.
"Well, now that they're gone." Nathan turned to look to his wife, after he locked the front door.
Haley grinned and stepped towards him.
"Now that they're gone, what?" She asked him, in a low, sultry voice.
Nathan grinned and reached an arm out towards his wife. Pulling her towards him, he pressed a soft kiss to her shoulder.
"Now that they're gone." He repeated.
"It's time for us." His hands moved along his wife's precious figure.
"To have a little fun of our own." He grinned and picked her up, one hand at the back of her knees, the other supporting her back, bridal style.
Haley just grinned and wrapped her arms around her husbands neck, as he carried her upstairs as he carried her up the stairs Haley leaned up to his ear and whispered.
"Well seeing as Jessie told Leigh we're making her a sibling we might as well do it."
As they reached the bedroom, Nathan kicked the door shut with his foot and laid Haley to rest on their bed. removing his own robe, he moved to straddle her. He untied her robe and leaned down, pressing his lips softly to hers, and he pushed it off her shoulders.
"I love you Nathan Scott." She whispered, as her hands circled his waist, rising higher, until she could completely remove his shirt.
"I love you too Haley James." He grinned, his hands gliding across Haley's abdomen.
"Scott." She whispered.
"Haley James Scott." He pulled her closer as the pair began their journey to ecstasy, a journey that only they would have a memory of.
They spent the whole day in bed only to get up at dinner time to get dressed and cook dinner for the kids as they were expected to be back by dinner time and even though the three teenagers knew what they did all day they wouldn't say anything. After dinner the three teenagers set around doing their chores and just hanging out or playing around with stuff for Jamie it would be Piano, Lily it would be reading and Jessie would be drawing. At Nine Haley and Nathan called them into the family room where they would watch a movie of someone's choosing before going to bed for the night. Leigh being a cute three year old convinced her aunt to let her sleep over for the night so they didn't really have to worry about the movie rating for the night.
It was something Naley started when the girls moved in there to bond as a family and help them all deal with the change. Jessie's mom as far as Haley and Nathan knew died in childbirth so poor helpless Andy was left to raise a baby all on his own until he met up with Karen again and learning of what had happened in the last few years they had decided to give them another chance and ended up getting married when Lily was four and Jessie three. A couple of years ago Andy and Karen had decided that they wanted to move to New Zealand for a couple of years and come back during the summer time. Of course once Lily and Jessie found out they threw fits, so to spar the girls hating them they pulled Lucas, Peyton, Haley and Nathan aside to talk to them.
It was then decided that the girls would move in with Haley and Nathan til they turned sixteen and seventeen then they would give them the house that Lucas was raised in to give them freedom but were still expected to follow everyone's rules. Jessie and Lily thought it was a far deal so they went for it. Now all they had to do was wait two years and then they'd be home free.
Jamie on the other had was a bit jealous but he soon got over it and decided he liked having people his own age in the house and now the three of them acted just like siblings, you would never know the difference that they weren't siblings. Haley was knocked out of head space when Lily shook her shoulder.
"Hales I found a movie. We're gonna watch The Blind Side with Sandra Bullock remember we saw it in theaters? We don't have it but I borrowed it off Anna so we could watch it tonight sense I know it was my pick." Haley nodded and moved to put the movie in the machine.
After the movie was over it was almost eleven pm so everyone said their good nights and headed off to bed for the night-or at least to their rooms. Haley headed upstairs as Nathan went around checking every door and window making sure they were locked for the night before heading up to join his wife in bed. He was soon asleep with his wife safely in his arms but before he could drift off completely he whispered three words into Haley's ear as she slept.
"Always and forever." Just as he fell asleep completely Haley mumbled the exact same thing; a smile formed on both of their faces as they slept.
