Peyton lay on her bed as the music of Radiohead filled her room. She was in a tank top and a pair of underwear Lucas had left there at some point, they were the loosest pair of bottoms she could find and her abdomen was still in pain. Brooke had kindly picked her up from the hospital that morning and driven her home, insisting on making breakfast while Peyton showered. Peyton really appreciated the effort Brooke was making, and if it wasn't for the pain her stomach or Brooke's occasional and seemingly mindless touches of her own still flat stomach, it would have felt exactly like mornings they used to have four months ago. Though the couple of hours had been lovely, Peyton was emotionally and physically exhausted, which Brooke had gratefully understood. Consequently, Peyton had been lying in bed all since, alone with her thoughts and feelings, taking naps as them came to her. It was because of all this that Peyton was particularly startled when she heard thudding up the stairs.

"I'm not going to apologise for loving you!" Lucas announced when he entered her room. He was in his grey hoodie that had 'Keith's Scott Body Shop' written on the back, worn out red joggers, and a basketball under his arm, he'd clearly just been at the rivercourt. "I'm not going to tell you I don't love you. Because I do, and it is damn unfair that you got so pissed at me for loving you I couldn't be the one to bring you home this morning and take care of you all day. But I'm here now, and I'm not going anywhere." He was defiant, passionate, and Peyton had to be frank, incredibly sexy. She smiled up at him.
"Well if you're sure…I guess I'll have to love you back." Her answer was evidently not what he expected as Lucas had to change his evidently planned response from an angered one to one of disbelieving happiness.
"What?...You mean it?" he almost gasped, rushing to sit facing her on the bed, taking her hands in his.
"Yeah I mean it you dork," Peyton laughed, "I'm sorry I got so mad, but I hated that situation so much I just freaked out, but I do love you too Lucas, I promise," she assured him. His only response was cup her face and bring her lips to his in an intense kiss. They may have only been apart one night, but especially with everything that had gone on, they'd really missed each other and the kiss proved that.

Lucas managed to remember Peyton's pain for the first few minutes of the kiss, but he forgot and accidently applied too much pressure to her stomach as he went to raise her shirt. Peyton welped in pain as he did this.
"I'm so sorry," Lucas immediately whispered as he broke the kiss, moving back, and looking Peyton up and down, to make sure she was physically ok.
"It's ok," Peyton placed a reassuring hand to his cheek and connecting their eyes, "Just going to take a little while before we can do all that again."
"I know," Lucas understood, "I'll be as careful as you need, and when we are ready, this time we can make love," he smiled at her.
"You're such a dork," Peyton laughed at the way he'd overemphasised 'make love'.
"Yeah, but I'm your dork," Lucas began to tickle her, and she writhed and giggled until too soon the pain set in again.
"As long as you're not my husband…" Peyton murmured, not necessarily intending for Lucas to hear her, but he did. The two shifted their position so she was resting on his chest with his large hand resting on her stomach like a hot water bottle.
"You heard about that then?" Lucas asked her, clearly unimpressed.
"Yeah, Nathan came and told me once you'd left yesterday," Peyton explained, studying Lucas' face carefully, "How are you doing with it?"
"It's their life, and Haley seems really happy, but I'll kill him if he hurts her," he said very seriously. Peyton smiled at how protective he was over Haley, that was exactly how she felt about Brooke.
"I'll be your alibi," she promised.
"Why thank you," Lucas feigned a southern twang as he said this, he knew it could never rival Peyton's natural one. As much as he loved being able to talk to Peyton about anything, he really wasn't in the mood or fully sure of what he wanted to say about Nathan and Haley. "How about we order some pizza, get into bed, and I'll bring the TV up from downstairs so we can watch a movie before sleep?" he suggested after noticing her wince, and her annoyance at it.
"Sounds perfect," Peyton smiled at him, "Hey Luke," she called to him softly as he exited her room, he turned round, "I'm glad you're my dork," she told him meaningfully.
"Good." He nodded, "Cos I don't plan on being anyone else's."

Haley and Nathan were spending their first night in their marital home. A month ago they had happened across an apartment on the beach while walking there one day. The 'for rent' sign had attracted Nathan's attention; he'd been wanting to leave his parent's house for a long time and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. He was blessed with sizeable savings that his parents and grandparents had created, and wasn't above getting a job. Now, here he was, in that exact apartment, but with his wife and he honestly couldn't be happier.

Haley was nestled into his side, his arm around her and her head resting on his shoulder so their eyes were connected.
"You know…" Haley mused cautiously, "We didn't really get the chance to consummate our marriage last night."
"I had noticed that," Nathan smiled hopefully, "We don't have to though, if you aren't ready." Haley adored him for being so supportive and understanding, and her expression showed it. After a slight nod she pressed a tight kiss to Nathan's lips, he kissed her back hard.

Soon, Haley was straddling her husband, their kisses deepening and their hands roaming. Nathan removed Haley's pyjama top and became to palm her large breasts, paying attention to her hardening nipples. She moaned against his lips and her nails dug into his bare, muscular torso. He took one of her nipples into his mouth, and sucked hard, causing her head to fling back in pleasure and her crotch to rub against his. He moaned with her.

With Haley still on top of him, Nathan released her nipple from his mouth and kissed her chest as he slowly removed her shorts and damp panties. He then rolled them over so he was on top of her, his larger body in a protective position over hers. "You ok?" he checked, as Haley breathed out at the weight suddenly on her. She nodded, and smiled in response. Nathan leant down to kiss her again, his hands moving gently down her body and between her legs. He smiled against her lips when he felt that she was already wet.

His index finger and thumb massaged her clit gently, one of her hands very firm on his shoulder, and the other on his hip, her nails digging in more and more as Nathan continued his movements. He shifted so her legs were either side of him so he was better positioned to insert his finger inside her. She gasped at the feeling, her head went back, exposing her neck which he nibbled on gently. "I've got you baby," he whispered caringly in her ear before inserting another finger inside her. He twisted his fingers so his knuckles hit her spot, causing Haley to moan his name loudly. His slid his fingers in and out of her and began to pump gently the more she appeared to enjoy herself. Her enjoyment was getting him harder and harder.

A few minutes later, Nathan removed his shorts, revealing his large dick. "Wow," couldn't help but whisper, as a virgin she was clearly worried his thickness would hurt her. Nathan smiled, removing his fingers from her so he could reach into the bedside table to apply lube to his dick. "You ready?" he checked, leaning down to kiss her deeply, assuring her it was going to be ok, when she nodded. He entered gently, and Haley couldn't stop a quiet 'ow' from escaping her lips. Nathan locked the fingers of his right hand with the fingers of Haley's left, her wedding ring happily digging into him slightly, and place her hand above her head. He forced their eyes to meet as he began to move gently in and out of her.

He took his time with her, as her smile and moans grew he allowed his pace to quicken. Their eyes never stopped being focused on each other, they shared kisses sporadically. Haley's nails dug deeper and deeper into Nathan's side, "Oh! Nathan!" Her moans were getting louder, though she may not have been sure of it herself, Nathan knew she was close, and thankfully so was he. The sight of this woman, his wife, so naked and beautiful beneath, letting him make love to her which was a first for them both, was the biggest turn on he'd ever experienced.

Haley's orgasm was intense, and so beautifully sexy to Nathan that he came very soon after. As they panted heavily, Nathan rested his forehead on Haley's and kissed her. "Making love to my wife is my new favourite thing."
