"Bye sweetie. Be careful and call me as soon as you get there," Nathan spoke as he hugged his wife.
"Are you sure you can handle Nate and Dakota without Lucas and Brooke being here too?" Haley asked Nathan as she loaded her suitcases into her suburban.
"I'll be fine. The babies will be fine. Don't worry so much," Nathan pleaded as he cradled both babies in his arms.
"Okay, okay…" Haley spoke as she leaned down to kiss both of her babies and then finally kissing her husband.
"Your mom is on call if you need anything and if for some reason you can't get her, call Karen."
"Would you please just go. The sooner you leave, the sooner you'll come home," Nathan smiled.
"It'll only be a week," Haley promised.
"Yeah, the longest week of our lives. Now go, already."
"Okay. Bye. I love you guys," Haley smiled as she got behind the wheel and slowly drove off.
"Oh boy!" Nathan spoke as he headed back into the house. The house would be all his this week seeing as how Lucas and Brooke went on some last minute vacation to Destin, Florida. He wasn't quite sure if he could handle it. The first three days flew by. Every night Haley and Nathan would talk for a couple hours and then she would attempt to talk to the babies. It was adorable. Every thing seemed to be going fine.
"Mom," Nathan begged into the phone, "I need you to come over as soon as you can. I don't know what's wrong. Nate and Dakota won't stop crying…"
"I'm on my way," Deb smiled. She loved the fact that her son still needed her, even after he was married and had children of his own. Within a few minutes, Deb arrived at the house and immediately hushed the babies.
"What was wrong with them?" Nathan asked in a whisper as Deb rocked them to sleep.
"They were just tired."
"Me too… You don't mind if I take a nap, do you?" Nathan asked.
"Not at all. Go ahead. Today is the day Haley is on MTV, right?" Deb asked.
"Yeah, thanks for reminding me. It should be on any minute."
Nathan headed for his bedroom and turned on the t.v. He smiled when he saw how beautiful Haley looked. Apparently the MTV VJ was interviewing her.
"Yea, I just got married to my high school sweetheart a few days ago. He's incredible," Haley spoke from the television.
"Any plans for children in the future?" The VJ asked Haley. Haley smiled.
"Actually, we already have two beautiful babies. Nate and Dakota were born a few days before my CD dropped."
"Twins!" the VJ squealed, "how tiring!"
"Yeah, tell me about it," Haley smiled, "my husband is at home with them right now. He is an incredible father and I can't wait for our future together."
Nathan smiled as he watched his wife on TV. When her song was over, he drifted off to sleep. He finally woke up a few hours later to find his mom and the babies gone. He found a note in the kitchen on the counter.
Nathan,
Karen had some emergency at work and I was called in. I took the babies to Ashley's. Hope you don't mind. You just needed the sleep. I'll call you later.
Love you,
Mom"Shit," Nathan muttered under his breath. He picked up his cell phone and dialed Ashley.
"Well, hello, sleepy head!" Ashley squealed into the phone.
"Hey, I need you to bring my babies back home, right now!" Nathan demanded.
"Don't be mad, Nathan. Your mom just wanted you to get some shut eye for a few hours."
"Just bring them home, right now!" Nathan yelled before hanging up and dialing his mother.
"What in the hell were you thinking letting Ashley watch Nate and Dakota. If Haley finds out she'll freak out," Nathan spoke to his mom.
"Well don't tell her and she wont find out," Deb assured her son.
"You should have just woken me up," Nathan sighed.
"I'm sorry, Nathan, but look, I gotta run. I'll call you later," Deb said before hanging up the phone.
A few moments later, Haley dialed Nathan.
"Hey baby. How is my family?" Haley asked smiling.
"Oh, we're good," Nathan lied.
"Can I talk to our babies?" Haley asked.
"Um, I just got them to sleep, Hales…"
"Oh, okay. Well, I have to run anyway. Chris needs me to help him with some charity event. I love you, Nathan."
"I love you too, Haley."
They hung up and Nathan looked down at his watch. Ashley should have been there by now. He paced around his house for a few minutes before getting a phone call.
"Nathan, listen, you need to get to the hospital as soon as possible. There was an accident. Just please hurry," Dan urged his son.
"Dad, is it you or mom?" Nathan asked.
"No, it was Ashley and the babies. Hurry Nathan. I mean it."
With that, Nathan was out the door and pulling out of the driveway in a flash.
