Thank you guys SO much for taking the time to read my fic, especially those reviewing! I hope this part lives up to the hype of the first one. There's a chance this might end up being four instead of three parts long. I'm not quite sure yet, but I don't think anyone would have a problem with that, right?

Thank you again!

"Nathan! Would you come on?!" Haley called again as she tried to get together everything she needed to leave the house.

"Oooh Jamie, I think Mommy's in a bad mood." Nathan grinned at the baby who squirmed excitedly at his father's voice as he placed him into the carrier. "Yup, glad to see you agree with me buddy."

"Ganging up on me already; great." Throwing the diaper bag over her shoulder she turned around and grinned, dangling her pinkie down in front of the baby who gripped it tightly. "Are we set?"

"Remember when it took us three minutes to leave the house?" Nathan asked Haley as they walked out of the house and started strapping the baby into the car.

"Um, no, not really pretty boy!" Noticing the look that crossed his features as he looked back at her, Haley immediately dropped the diaper bag onto the drive and quickly ran toward the other side of the car.

Checking quickly that the baby was seated properly, Nathan bolted after her chasing her around the car a couple of times before pining her against the passenger side and leaning down to kiss her.

Giggling loudly Haley pulled away and looked up at him stroking along the side of his face. "See? Pretty."

Nathan smiled down at his wife for a moment; closing the distance between them' he became instantly aware of the heaving of her breasts against his chest. Catching her questioning glance at the sudden silence that had taken over them he pushed away, willing himself to focus on something else; anything else. "We better go, we'll be late."

"We have a baby, it's expected." She pointed out trying to pull him back to her.

"A baby we've managed to get settled and sleeping for the ride, let's go." He watched her face crumple in confusion and was about to kiss her when he noticed the way her tank top had moved down when she'd twisted her body to reach for him. Shaking his head he pushed away again mumbling to himself as he got into the drivers seat. "A baby I really shouldn't be having thoughts like this in front of."

Picking up the bag she'd dropped earlier, Haley climbed into the car after him. "He's a month old, Nathan! His parents kissing in front of him is not going to scar him for life!"

"What about having sex?"

"Excuse me?" She asked looking openly shocked. "We were not going to have sex in the drive way, Nathan!"

"We did it before." He smirked, referring to the night of the rain storm when they'd finally confronted a lot of their issues.

"Yes, and I'm pretty sure that's how we got saddled with this one." Haley smiled down at the baby leaning over to pop a kiss on his forehead. "Anyway, you know we can't."

"Yeah, I know. Trust me." The couple shared a longing look before Nathan put the car into drive and sped off.

--------

"I cannot believe we're the first here!" The couple walked into Karen's and looked around before sitting down in a booth. "They all better have damn good excuses!"

"Hales, they're like three minutes late! If you hadn't been so sure the baby was going to make us late, we probably wouldn't be here yet either."

"Well, I gave you a reason to be late; you just passed up on it." She reminded him raising her eyebrows "And, stop calling him the baby, he has a name!"

"I know he does! A very good name; I chose it!"

"Chose what?" Peyton asked as her and Lucas slid into the seat opposite them.

"The baby's name. Sorry, Sorry! James' name!"

"Morning kids." Karen walked over brushing her fingers over James' forehead and smiling at the teens. "Lucas Scott, I'm going to pretend you're not wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and ignore the fact that when I was up feeding Keith at four this morning your bedroom was empty."

"You're a great Mom." He beamed at her and she rolled her eyes.

"I'm just too tired to care."

"Tell me about it – I'm surprised you're even here." Haley pointed out as Lucas scoffed in his mother's direction.

"I'm just covering for a little while whilst Deb has her meeting. So, how are you Miss. nearly birthday girl! Looking forward to Saturday?"

"So much!" Haley grinned and nodded eagerly. "Thank you so much for doing this for us, Karen. Are you sure the two of them isn't going to be too much?"

"Oh nonsense. And anyway, big brother/uncle Lucas will be there to help me."

"Excuse me?" Lucas' attention was drawn instantly away from where he'd been talking with Nathan.

"Consider it penance for staying out all night."

"I thought you didn't care!"

"I lied." Karen shrugged, stifling a laugh at the shocked look on Lucas' face. "Now what can I get you guys?"

-------

"What the hell is she doing?" Brooke asked when she and Mouth entered the café a few minutes later to see Haley with her eyes shut literally savouring the smell of a cup of coffee.

"Don't say a word." Haley mumbled opening her eyes and pushing the coffee back over at Nathan who gave her a 'well I don't want it now' look. Rolling her eyes at the cocked eyebrow Brooke raised in her direction, Haley threw up her hands in defeat. "I miss coffee okay?!?"

"So…drink some."

"I can't! Stupid breastfeeding!" Nathan brought the mug up to his face to hide the laughter that was threatening to bubble over at his pouting wife.

"I didn't even know you drank coffee, Haley." Mouth gave the blonde a sympathetic smile as he sat down.

"HA! Everyone thinks Haley's such a morning person, it's only because she has like three cups before she even leaves the house."

"Brooke! Stop picking on me! And don't you think I can't see you laughing Nathan Scott!"

"I'm sorry, baby."

"Yeah, you better be." Grinning Nathan leaned over and pressed a kiss to her pouting lips, sucking lightly on her lower lip. As the kiss deepened, the couple forgot about their surroundings; bringing their earlier frustrations to the surface again.

"Ahem."

Cough

"HALEY!"

"God, you two know you're someone's parents now right? That is so wrong." Lucas gave the couple a look of disgust as they pulled apart.

"Oh, leave them alone." Peyton chided her boyfriend as he glared at his brother.

"Skills just text messaged me. He and Bevin are running late, they're going to meet us at the beach house. So are you guys ready to head over?" Brooke asked, picking up her bag as everybody nodded in agreement. With college mere weeks away and everybody on speaking terms they'd taken to arranging days to hang out as a group; just enjoying the time they had left with each other.

Picking up the baby carrier in one hand, Nathan placed his free arm around Haley's shoulders and followed the brunette's lead out of the café.

---

"What are you doing?" Haley asked Brooke as she walked out onto the deck of the beach house and sat on one of the loungers; watching as her friend tugged and pulled at her bikini top.

"I'm trying to show off as much skin as possible without going topless." Brooke answered; smiling seductively at a blonde man who jogged passed them.

"Cause that's not slutty at all."

"Whatever. Teen Mom." Poking their tongues out at each other good naturedly the girls broke out into giggles. "Are you going to wear that all day?" The taller girl questioned, motioning to the jean shorts and half buttoned up shirt Haley was wearing over a tank top.

"Yep."

"Aren't you like, dying from the heat?"

"Nope."

"Liar." Brooke answered, taking in the pink hue that had already taken over Haley's face since she'd walked out. "Uh, Haley….I don't think you're going to be able to keep wearing it."

"Brooke, would you just leave it. I don't feel comfortable enough to be in a bathing suit yet, okay? I'm still trying to shift my baby weight."

"That wasn't what I meant. You're, uh, leaking."

"Shit." Haley cursed under her breath as she looked down to see a small wet spot slowly growing around her right nipple. A wailing broke out through the monitor in her hand. "At least he has good timing." Throwing a smile at Brooke, she stood up and walked back into the house; picking up the baby who was sleeping in the living room and headed to Nathan's old bedroom. "How's my perfect little guy today? Everybody's been waiting for you wake up. You're a very in demand little baby!" She cooed as she settled down to feed him.

-------

"Hales?" Nathan called walking into the bedroom to find his son freshly changed and fed, gurgling to himself in the middle of the bed whilst his wife was rooting through the drawers in just her bra and shorts. Walking up behind her he wrapped his arms around her waist, and pressed a kiss to her shoulder. "What are you two doing hiding up here?"

"Well, your son was hungry and I didn't really feel like flashing our friends in order to accommodate him." She laughed as he nuzzled into her neck.

"And I appreciate that."

"Mmm, I thought you would." Turning in his arms she placed her own around his neck, and drew herself up to his height pressing her lips against his. Effortlessly he picked her up and placed her on top the dresser stepping between her legs.

"I love you." He spoke into her neck, his lips brushing the skin with each word.

"I love you, too." She smiled, recapturing his lips with hers; rubbing them lightly over his before darting her tongue out to part them.

Soft moans filled the room, mixing with the baby's gurgles as the couple moved against each other. Nathan's hands reaching up to unclasp her bra, pulling the material away from her body and dropping it onto the floor next to them. He cupped her breasts together and started lavishing kisses across the soft cleavage.

A scream broke out in the room startling the pair apart, and they both stared breathlessly for a moment at their crying son.

"Uh, you should…" Nathan motioned to Haley's half dressed state and she nodded picking up her bra and slipping it on before pulling one of Nathan's shirts over the top, tying the ends so it met her shorts. "You in my clothes, really not helping."

"Sorry." She laughed, watching as he picked up the baby and shook her head. "You holding our son is having the same affect on me."

"I'll have to remember that."

"In a couple of weeks, anyway." She nodded, laughing at the aggravated growl he let out as he followed her down the stairs.

-------

"Ah! My god-baby's up!" Brooke jumped up from her position sunbathing and pulled the baby out of Nathan's arms.

"Careful." He warned and she rolled her eyes as the baby stared up at her. "And say's who?"

"Haley." Brooke smirked at Nathan, who looked to his wife for confirmation, before focussing her attention back on the baby.

"Did you?" Letting herself get pulled down into his lap Haley shrugged at her husband.

"We'll talk about it later." Settling her back against his chest she watched as her friends all congregated around the baby, who lay quietly in Brooke's arms open eyed, taking in the attention. "He's definitely not shy."

"Takes after his Dad."

"We can only hope." She agreed twisting to pop a quick kiss on his lips. Brow furrowing when he turned away from her.

"Just, let me cool down a bit." He laughed as she blushed and looked over quickly at the others, almost as though she expected them to be able to tell how heated the young couple had gotten only moments before.

"I want a picture!" Brooke declared, causing everyone to groan. In the past week Brooke had got snap-happy, declaring she wanted as many pictures as possible to take to school with her. Passing the baby over to Lucas she began to root around in her beach bag. "You know how to fix the auto-timer thingy Mouth?"

Mouth went about trying to find somewhere to sit the camera and get everybody in shot whilst Brooke started ordering everyone on where to sit and stand.

"Hurry up Brooke, I want to get Jamie out of the sun."

"Hang on, hang on. Okay – I think we're ready."

"No wait!" Brooke stopped Mouth just as he was about to press the button to take the picture ran around to the other side of the group. "Okay now take it!"

"Why did you move?"

"Well, I can't stand next to Haley; her boobs are way bigger than mine now!"

Haley's mouth dropped open and she let out an indignant huff crossing her arms self consciously over her chest as the rest of the teens laughed around her. "Not funny."

"Kind of funny." Nathan said wrapping his arm around her shoulder which she immediately shrugged off.

"Well, you don't seem to mind them." She tried to sound annoyed but couldn't help but smile a little at the smirk her husband answered her with.

"OKAY! Mouth, take the picture, I don't want to hear this conversation." Lucas broke in before Nathan could respond.

--------

"I am so tired." Haley let out a yawn as she walked into the living room. Everyone had shared an early dinner at the beach house before the rest had headed off to get ready for a night of partying; the young parents forgoing it in order to get their son home and settled. The petite blonde threw her body down on her husband's much larger form, which he had outstretched on the couch; his arms automatically moved to wrap around her loosely, his clasped hands resting at the base of her spine. Dropping the monitor she'd been carrying on to the table beside them, she relaxed against his chest.

Focussing on the television for a few silent moments, Haley let out a confused laugh at the bizarre images she was greeted by. "What the hell are you watching?"

"I have no idea." He let out of a low chuckle. "My mom was watching it when I sat down. I've missed this."

"Missed what?"

"This. Just watching TV like this, you all stretched out on top of me. I missed it while you were pregnant."

"Mmm, me too." She grinned up at him reaching up to pop a kiss on his lips.

"What do you want for your birthday?" His hands started stroking up and down her back, as she relished on the feeling of his heart beating against her cheek.

"Nothing."

"You must want something."

"I have everything I want." She looked up at him again and smiled sweetly.

"That's really nice, Hales, but it doesn't help me." He laughed, brushing her hair out of her face.

"Going to the hotel is enough, Nathan. Honestly."

"Yeah but my Mom's paying for that. I want to do something for you."

"You're coming with me. That's plenty!"

"You're not going to help me out here are you?" Nathan asked, shaking his head at her response.

"Nope!" She pressed another quick kiss to his lips before laying into the crook of his neck. "We've just had to put down first, last and security on a new place for school, and Jamie needs something new every other day. A birthday present for me isn't all that important."

"It's your eighteenth, Hales, it should be special."

"And it will be. Anyway, we didn't do anything all that special for yours."

"Oh I don't know, I quite liked my surprise." He smirked as he remembered coming home from work to find her stood in the doorway of their bedroom, decked out in pregnancy lingerie, a can of whip cream in one hand. "Do you still have that?"

"The whip cream?" She asked confused.

"The lingerie."

"Um, yeah…"

"Are you… going to bring it this weekend?" He asked his hands fiddling with the clasp of her bra through her shirt.

"I don't know if you've noticed babe, but I'm not pregnant anymore."

"I doubt that'd be a problem there wasn't really that much to it."

"I didn't see you complaining at the time." She said playfully shoving at his shoulder.

"Oh I wasn't, and I won't be."

"We'll see. Be nice if my birthday was a couple of weeks later this year huh?"

He stayed silent for a moment debating his answer, he agreed; it would have been nice if they were able to make love on her birthday, but he still wasn't sure all those mood swings she'd experienced during pregnancy were quite passed, and he didn't want to ruin the moment by pissing her off.

"It's okay." She laughed. "I miss it too."

"Huh?"

"Making love with you." She expanded. "Especially after how much we've been doing it the past few months."

"Mm hmm, you've had trouble keeping your hands off of me."

"Mmm hmmm" She mocked. "I don't remember you being particularly hands free yourself."

"Baby when it comes to you, I'm never going to be hands free."

"That was corny." She laughed and he shrugged.

"True though." He slid his hands back down her back, resting them on her bottom and pulling her toward him. Kissing her softly. "Thank you."

"For what?"

"Everything."

"Well, in that case, thank you too."

Moments later Nathan noticed Haley's breathing had evened out and the hand she'd been using to play with the hair at the nape of his neck had stilled. Shifting, he moved so he could lift her up and started toward the stairs.

All the times he'd envisioned his last summer before college he definitely never thought he'd have a wife and baby in toe. Laying Haley softly down on the bed, he walked over to crib checking on the baby, he leant down and inhaled his son's scent before pressing a kiss to his head. Who knew Nathan Scott would be a sucker for new baby smell? Thinking of his brother and their friends drinking and dancing at a bar across town, he didn't feel the pang of jealousy he thought he might. Sex, or no sex; climbing into bed next to Haley, their son's breathing audible from across the room definitely topped it. Pulling the blanket over Haley, he kissed her forehead in the same way he'd done just moments before with their son. Hearing his mother moving around below him he shut the door softly and walked back downstairs. Maybe she'd have an idea what he could get Haley, considering the past suggestion of edible panties he didn't want to have to resort to asking Brooke.
