Chapter 7. While you flew so did time.
"Hey, Baby I'm back." I called into the light yellow and light blue home on the outer side of Charlotte that was my home for half the month.
"I'm in here." Haley's voice called from out the back of the house. I followed the sound of the pretty melody she was playing on her piano.
"Hi, Baby. How are you two doing?" I asked as I kissed my girl's neck while I wrapped my arms around her. "I missed you." I murmured against her skin. "We missed you too baby." She told me placing a securing had on her tummy. "Wow, It's really visible now." I admired her baby bump.
"You don't think I look fat?" She asked as she turned around on the piano bench she was sitting on. "No, I think you look like you're carrying my baby boy and that looks incredibly sexy." I pulled her into a kiss that she deepened right away. Her soft, warm lips moving against mine and realized how much I missed her.
I had enjoyed my time with Alison and the kids, but missed Haley too. "ugh, Nate you're back." Brooke mutter from behind me. I pulled away finished with a quick peck on her lips, before I turned around. "Hi, Big sis." I said and hugged her. "what no kiss." she mocked me.
"How is the baby Hales?" I asked Haley who came to stand beside me. "Baby's good. Doctor said we're doing good." Thank god. I'd been so freaked out at first. Haley'd been pregnant for almost four months now but her baby bump was only recently showing. I'd been worried that something was wrong with the baby because it was so small.
"No, Baby just takes after if mom." Haley cooed while rubbing her belly. "You mean my baby boy is short" I deadpanned. She shot me playful glare. "Who says it's a boy!" She added to that.
"We'll, I just have a feeling it is." I defended. She chuckled "Yeah but you also had a feeling that our son was going to be dwarf."
"It is." I shot back at which I received another slap from her, but before she could slam her had into my arm and caught it and pulled her in for a long passionate kiss. "God I missed you." I told when I pulled away."
"Hales you're mother on phone. Asking when you're getting married." Brooke grinned and held the phone out for Haley. I squeezed Haley's arm and shot her an apologetic look.
"Hi, Mom… No Mom… I don't know… Why do I have to get married? Plus if I get married now everyone will think it's because of the baby…. Yes of course you can…. Next week?" Haley mouth nxt week to me. As to ask me if I'd be here next week. I nodded and she continued her phone conversation with her mother. "Yes next week is fine. Okay mom. See you next week mom, tell daddy I love him. Okay. Bye."
She sighed and turned to me. "My mom wants to meet you. Something about meeting her future son in Law." Haley added bitterly. I dropped my eyes to the floor. "Sorry Hales." I sighed. She went to stand on her tiptoes and kissed my lips. "It's okay. I know where I sighed up for. I don't need to be married to you to feel connected to you."
"No all you have to do, is spread you legs." Brooke muttered as she returned to her sewing machine at the dinner table.
"Brooke!" Haley hissed and I just grinned. "You've got the fix you language when the baby is here!"She added.
I pulled Haley to the couch and sat her down. "She's right though." I whispered in her ear and began nibbling on her neck and earlobe.
Haley moaned softly. Oh I missed that sound. I lay her down on her back and lay on top of her between her legs. "You two careful? That's how you ended up pregnant in the first place." Brooke called in a singasong voice.
Tomorrow was a magical day and I already had a lot of plans to make it special. Tomorrow was our anniversary. (one year since the first time we had sex) and since I'd already bent over backwards to be home at the day I had to be special. Yeah, I'd been a little less than six months since she moved to Charlotte with Brooke and the whole arrangement worked perfectly.
Alison had no idea of our relationship, although Brooke constantly mocked it was because she was too busy covering her own, I think she just had no clue. The greatest plus being that Brooke was my sister, so the idea of me putting in some money on buying a big place with Brooke and Haley, and risen zero suspicion with her. It only seemed handy to her it would save a lot of money on rent and I'd see my sister more often.
"Uhm.. Nate?" Haley whined, pulling away from our kiss. "Yes, baby." I replied giving her an Eskimo kiss. "I have to go.. I promised Jake I'd meet him in the studio." She said crawling away from under me. I pouted. "No chance you could tell Jake that you need time with your guy?"
"Not as long as you want to keep our little secret a secret." She chuckled. 'Because for now Jake thinks I got knocked up by a one night stand. He knows Peyton, who's dating Lucas remember?" Right .. the damned circle just because Lucas couldn't keep his hands to himself. (which sounds really hypocrite)
"Hmm, Maybe we should tell Lucas and Peyton. Then Jake can stop thinking you're a whore." I chuckled. Haley smacked me and got up.
"by the way, lose the wedding ring before next week"
"Mom!" I squealed as I opened the door. "Oh Haleybub. Look at you all motherly!" she gushed hugging me tightly. "Mom, you're suffocating us." I giggled. Since the moment I found out I was pregnant I began using plural. "sorry, Baby. But you've changed so much. Especially after the whole Chris thing." Yes I had told my parents about him and about what happened. I had to I ended up in the hospital twice thanks to the guy! "So where's the guy that put the thing in there." My dad asked as he entered after my mother.. "inside and please don't ever say that again." My father chuckled,. "I hope you would say that." She replied scratching the back of his head.
It was a good thing both Brooke and I had warned Nathan about how wacky exactly my parents were.
Another good thing was that my parents didn't know much about Brooke's family. I mean they knew she had two brothers but not much more. Thank god!
I walked into the living room where Nathan was waiting. "Mom, dad. This is Nathan." I motioned towards where Nathan stood rather nervously awaiting my parents.
I went to stand beside him for the emotional support. "Hi, Nathan. We've heard so much about you." Lydia gushed while she came to us, her arms stretched out to hug him. Nathan awkwardly hugged her back. "So, let's cut the crap and go straight to the point are you planning on ever marrying out daughter?" My father asked bluntly.
Nathan went pale and stuttered a little. Both my parents burst out in laughter. "Oh Jimmy you shouldn't scare the boy." My mom said slapping my dad playfully.
"It's nice to meet you Mr. and Mrs. James." Nathan said. He was so cute. Brooke stood there chuckling from a corner at her brother.
"Oh cut the crap. It's Lydia and this is my husband Jimmy." My mom grinned and arched an eyebrow while glancing in my direction. Nathan nodded.
I motioned for my parents to sit down. "So Nathan you're from North Carolina like Brooke?" My mom asked. She clearly had the lead in this interrogation.
"Uh, not really. My parents both had another child before meeting each other before having me.. My mother is from North Carolina, Hence Brooke's origin. My father's from New York I was born and raised there. I still spend have the month there I've got business there." He told me parents.
I squeezed his hand supportive. "Aha.. You grew up with you brother and sister though?" my father asked, but Nathan shook his head. "No, I saw Brooke only in the summers and Lucas once in the two weeks. Until Lucas was sixteen than he moved in with me and my parents. I only began to see Brooke more when she and Haley moved to New York."
"That's how you met? Through Brooke?" Nathan looked at me asking for permission to tell some form of the truth. "Uhm, No actually We met when Peyton went into Business with my father and he held on of his society events. Haley and I met at the party." I smiled at the memory. I'd been so out of there. So not myself.
"See the shock when I found out that the same guy my bestest friend was gushing about was my brother." Brooke said throwing us and mocking look.
'I see. Nathan you live here?"My mom fired her next question while she looked around the room to find both of our stuff here. 'Well, officially I still live in New York. It's not much of a difference I spend there as much time as here. I live here when I'm here. The arrangement I was forced into by my boss was convenient because Brooke and Haley were moving to Charlotte. So I would have to find a new job to be with them and I can still see my family in New York." Geez if she had any idea how double those words were…
"I see.. So Nate what did you think of the Bobcats game from last night." My father said.
I rolled my eyes and got up.
"Like crap, but it was to be expected, when did the Bobcats win a game against the Knicks." I heard my father chuckle in agreement. My mom had followed me to the kitchen where Brooke sat reading an article in a magazine at the kitchen counter.
"So you really like him." I smiled and shook my head while I poured three cups of coffee. "No, I love him. A lot." Brooke rolled her eyes while she sipped off her coffee. Handed my mother cup and brought the other two to Nathan and my father.
"Why are you both not talking about marriage Haleybub?" my mother asked caressing my cheek worriedly.
"We're not not talking about it. We just think it's too soon. Just because we're having a baby doesn't mean we should get married." I tried to reason with my mother.
"Honey, not because you're having a baby, but because of what you just told me. You love that boy. I can see that I your eyes." My sight got clouded by tears all threatening to fall. "that's the only right reason baby." She whispered. I looked over to Nathan and my father engaged into a deep conversation and sat down. "I love Nathan. Mom. And I do wanna Marry him."
I looked into my daughter eyes, clouded with worries and tears. Her pretty brown eyes troubled. I decided to listen to what she was about to tell me and not to push the issue. "I do mom, but I can't." I frowned. I didn't understand what she was getting at, but whatever it was it was hurting her because her eyes grew darker. "Because.." She sighed and blanked away the tears.
It'd never been the plan to tell my mother, but I'd always been a bad liar and my mother knew me too well. I thought I could, but I couldn't, I couldn't lie to my mother about something I cared for so much. "Because… He's already married." I whispered, not sure whether I did it to make sure Nathan and my father didn't hear or because I didn't want to hear it myself. "Oh dear." My mother pulled me into a hug and put her hand on my belly. "what did you do my little bub." She whispered in pity.
She looked at Brooke… "You knew it all and you let it happen." She asked Brooke, not in a blaming way but more just wondering. "Well, like I aid when I found out it was kind of a shock. I mean I knew that the guy she's been so happy with was married, but when I found out it was my brother.. It was already too late. They both were already head over heels. It was no use to condemn them. And I really don't like my sister in law anyway." Brooke shrugged and my mom laughed.
"I'm sorry mom." I told her hugging her.
When I pulled away my mom called; "Nate, come here." And she beckoned him to come. I bit my lip and with one look on my face Nathan could tell I told my mom. He even smiled knowing I was a crappy liar. As he walked up to us, my mom stood up and as soon as he close enough she hit him in head. "Ouch." I whined. "that you deserve for cheating on your wife and leading on my daughter." She said. "Ouch.' I heard him mutter under his breath. "I'm sorry." He said taking a seat on the stool next to Brooke pulling me onto his lap. Already exhausted I leaned into his strong chest while his arms wrapped around me.
"I understand it's not the kind of life you want for Haley. I hate doing this to her. It was never meant to last forever, but at some point it just.." He kissed me head and continued. "It became something way more. I figured that 50 percent of the relationships don't last so why would this one, but it did and I found myself at this point that whatever I did I was hurting someone."
"I promised Haley forever, and I know I shouldn't have, because I'm not sure if I can give her that, but she deserves it. And then the baby happened and I just didn't see a way out of this messy situation without hurting someone. Leaving Haley would have been just a cruel thing to do, but so is leaving my wife with two kids.." My mom gasped as she realized he had two kids too.
"How old?" She asked in a timid voice. "Three and Four, boy and a girl." He replied. My mom shook her head.. "What do you want Nathan? Because it's all very gentlemanly of you to be think about other now, but it's not helping what do you want?" Nathan chuckled sourly.
"If I knew the answer to that one I wouldn't be sitting here like this right now."
I turned the face him touching his face sweetly.. "I'm sorry Baby." I whispered.. I was after all my own fault, or Dan Scott's.. if he hadn't sent the damn invitations at all…
"It's not your fault Hales." He replied…
I got up from Dan Scott's lap and put my clothes back on. "So, when will Nathan be back from Charlotte?" He asked.
"five days." I told him buttoning my blouse back up. "Dan can I ask you a question?" Dan grinned but nodded while he zipped up his pants. "why are you doing this to Nathan? I mean he's your son. Don't you want him to be happy?"
Dan sat back in his chair
"You know, Why are you doing this? Don't you want Nathan to be happy?" I snorted. "I'm doing my best." Dan chuckled "than that's my answer. I mean I'm just making sure that you know that I have the freedom of telling him about our affair every day."
"You know when you told me, your plan I thought you were joking! I mean marrying your son but having sex with you at the same time for half a million dollar for my son and mother every day."
"Just to keep him save I married a man I don't love and have sex with a guy I despise!"
Yes.. when was eighteen I got pregnant from a man that was much older and when the baby was born he came to get it. He said he needed it and it was his child so he had a right to it. I just attended college and I needed help. He wouldn't leave my mother and son alone so when Dan came with this ridiculous proposal in exchange for my mother and son's safety. I decided that I would be safe and my family would be safe this way. Only I hadn't seen how Dan conned me into it. It seemed great I mean.. marriage with the son of a rich guy, my loved ones save, finishing college.
If I had only seen that it meant that he could tell Lysander's father where to find them whenever he wanted and to make sure he didn't , I had to have sex with him once a month.
I was repulsed by the guy's sick mind, but I saw no other way. Given the fact that I had already sold my soul it couldn't get worse.
And with that I grew fond of Nathan and even fell in love with him after we had Milou. Also I got two more beautiful children and it just made it complete... I still thought a lot about my first baby boy but I knew as long as I was happy he got to be too.
I had Milou and Lex to love.. although I wasn't sure whether they were Dan or Nathan's children. Honestly I didn't want to know.
I shook my head sadly and picked up my purse. "You're a sick man Dan Scott. You're gonna die a lonely man." And then I walked out. Back to my kids..
I love you all! for the reviews! Especially my loyal reviewers! I love you even more, because you inspire me so much!
Love, Philine
