I am updating because I promised I would but I didn't really get any reviews, so please please review or else I don't know if anyone likes the story.
Peyton woke up the next morning knowing that she had to call Brooke. She wanted to find another thing to take her mind off of it and hopefully forget about the fact that Brooke wanted to talk which usually was not a good thing since they were not really good friends anymore. Peyton decided to take a shower and eat breakfast. She knew since it was the east coast it was later there for Brooke but still she figured since it was the weekend Brooke and Lucas were sleeping in.
After Showering and eating breakfast Peyton decided to pick up the phone and face the music and see why Brooke was calling. The phone rang and rang and finally the answering machine picked it up. "You have reached Brooke and Lucas, yes we are engaged, FINALLY, and we are getting married, leave a message and when we are done with the wedding plans we will call you back."
Peyton decided to leave a message, silently relived that Brooke or Lucas didn't answer. "Brooke its, Peyton, I am just calling you back since I got your message, give me a call on my cell."
There she had done her job now she could relax and draw for the rest of the day without worrying about her past friendships. The only problem was that the memories were coming back, from both her phone call with Nathan and also her phone call from Brooke. Peyton was not sure what the reporter would want to know about Nathan and her from highschool. Sure they dated but didn't date seriously, nothing like Haley. He was a much different person back then. The classic jock who didn't care about anyone or anything except basketball. Now he was the classic dad who did everything for his kids, was a great husband, and still was a good athlete but appreciated the game now. Even when Matthew was born and Nathan and Haley were so young Nathan still was a great father and just fell in love with that little boy. Peyton remembered a few months after Matthew was born.
Peyton had decided to stop by Nathan and Haley's, who were still living with Deb in the mansion, and see the baby. She had not spent a lot of time with him recently with everything going on in her life. She saw a sign on the door that said don't ring the door bell the baby might be sleeping. Since it was North Carolina the door of course was already open. She walked in to see that no one was downstairs so she decided to walk upstairs and see if anyone was home and if the baby was sleeping. She was about to walk into the nursery when she heard Nathan's voice. She looked in and saw Nathan sitting there with Matthew just rocking him to sleep and talking to him. Haley was no where to be found.
"Matthew, you may not know it now but you are actually lucky. You got a father that loves you more than life and a mother that would do anything for you. I was not so lucky. Your crazy grandfather is in jail because he killed your great uncle, and your grandma although she is great now, use to be an alcoholic. I promise you none of that will happen to you. You are going to have a dad that is there for everything, not just basketball games but he will be there for your fist day of school, your graduation, when you fall in love for the first time, every scrape on your knee and of course when you need anything else."
Nathan just continued to rock him and Peyton stood at the door she did not want to disturb this moment. She decided it was time to leave. She never told anyone she had heard what Nathan said.
It was one of Peyton's favorite memories of the family. She had not spent a lot of time with them since the twins were born because of her crazy schedule but she loved this. It was the first time she had seen Nathan as a dad and knew that he was going to be one of the best dads ever.
I will have longer updates if people keep reviewing!
