-1Haley woke up earlier then usual for a Saturday morning. She was so happy that Lucas decided to stay a bit longer in Tree Hill. It will be good for everybody to be reunited for a while. She felt relieved, she did not know why yet but she knew inside that everything would fall into place, like it was supposed to be. Nathan started to move. He opened his eyes:

- Do you know that you are the most beautiful woman in the world Mrs Scott?

- Yes I do!! You are telling me that every morning. Do you know how much I love you?

- We are so lucky Hales. I mean I can't forget what Luke told us. I feel bad you know? I can't even imagine what he is going through . He is my brother and I can 't do anything to help him. I would do almost anything to ease his pain but I can't. I never felt so helpless. I even feel guilty to be so happy but it makes me understand how lucky I am. I love you more than anything , I always will. Please never forget that okay?

- I won't Nate come on! You are my love, my soul mate and I know you feel the same way. We have two beautiful babies to remind me that every day. But I can understand how you can feel toward Lucas. I feel the same you know. I looked at him yesterday while he was playing with James and I can't understand how I could let the things get that bad. I knew Lucas almost my whole life and I let him cut me from his life without doing anything. He is my brother too or should I say I feel this way. I did not see it coming. He disappeared and I didn't't try to understand. I was too busy with my own life. What kind of a friend am I?

- Hales, don't beat yourself up. I'm not better than you in this story. I should have done something a long time ago. But if we are honest he is still managing you know?

- How can you say that. Did you really looked at him? He is not himself anymore. It seems that he doesn't't believe in life anymore.

- You don't understand what I mean Hales. After his explanation I tried to imagine myself in the same situation but I couldn't't. If you were not with me anymore I would die. I can't envisage my life without you, how could I wake up one single morning without you by my side? It seems just surreal, almost impossible. You are the air I breath, my essence, my life.

- I completely understand. I had the same reaction than you. I thank god every day for bringing you into my life.

- Are you ready to prove it right now?

- I thought you'll never ask!!

Haley woke up three hours later. She went to the kitchen and saw all the people she loved the most sited together. Lucas was helping Julia to eat her breakfast while Nathan was joking around with James about some basketball team. Tears started to fall down her cheeks. If everyday could be like that. Lucas was really loved and she really hoped that he would understand that many things needed to be lived and many people needed to be loved.

- Hey People!

- Hey Mum! Please can you tell dad that the best basketball player of the NBA is Tony Parker!! He keeps saying no!

- Honey, you know that your father in only trying to mess with you. Don't listen to him. Look at him, he is laughing right behind your back!

- Dad!!

- Okay son, I'll tell you the truth…Parker is the best player! You are right.

Nathan took his son into his arms and start giggling him. The sound of the laughs was magical and made Lucas feel alive. The ambiance was a lot better than it was at first and, for the first time, Lucas started to thing that he should have come home earlier.

- How are you doing Luke? Did you sleep well?

- I am doing fine Hales. I slept quite well. I am having a nice chat with Julia about Sponge Bob. This sponge is so brave!!

- Uncle Lucas told me that Sponge Bob lives in the beach near here Mummy. Can we go to see him?

- Well….We'll see. If you finish your breakfast maybe we can go up to the beach a have a picnic.

- Okay Mummy! Thank you.

- Luke? Sorry to stop your debate on Sponge Bob but can I ask you a favour? You have to say yes anyway because you had no right to reveal the secret location of Sir Sponge Bob to my sweet daughter who will probably force me to stay the whole day to the beach thanks to you.

- It's fair. Tell me what do you want?

- Can you go to pick Brooke up from Debs later on and drive her to the Beach? We are supposed to have lunch together. She also wants to show me some of her designs for the clothing line.

- No problem. I can do that.

- Wait a minute bro!! You have something to do before. Ready for our one on one game? James wants to see his dad beat up his godfather!

- I can't be more ready. We can do that now little Brother.

- Okay old man.

Haley watched them play from the kitchen window. She could see that Lucas was actually having fun. She smiled when she saw James who was cheering for both and Julia acting like a mini cheerleader. Life could not be better than that or maybe it could. She could not wait until Monday morning for the Doctor to confirm what she already knew. She was expecting her third child. Nathan would surely be as ecstatic as she was.
