A/N: Thanks for the reviews on the last chapter; I'm glad you like it. So I'm being super generous because I truly did feel bad about not being able to update. So here is the second half to the last chapter…2 days earlier than I promised. I hope you enjoy.
…
It's early in the afternoon and Brooke and Lucas are currently at Karen's Café.
"Hey you two, you ready to order?" Karen said putting down the stack of dishes and heading around the counter.
"Yea umm I'll have a cheeseburger with fries and Brooke wants a salad." Lucas said ordering for them.
"A salad Brooke, really?"Karen asked.
"Yes that is so I have room for your special sundaes Karen."Brooke said patting her stomach.
"Alright coming right up and no making out in my booths, Nathan and Haley were here last weekend and I thought I was going to have to get my booths stain guarded."Karen teased knowing it bothered Lucas.
"God the mental images…Mom why would you do that?"Lucas said rubbing his eyes trying to get the mental pictures out of his mind.
"Lucas relax I'm kidding…I would never let that happen."Karen said serious all of a sudden.
"I don't know Karen with the way those two have been lately you might just be right. I swear it's like watching the foreplay before having sex."Brooke said.
"Br-oo-ke!"Lucas said choking on his soda while Karen's eyes widened.
"What?"Brooke asked not knowing what she said wrong.
"You know now that you mention it, they are moving pretty fast for 15 year olds. Hmm I'm gonna have a little talk with Nathan when he comes to work later."
"Mom please tell me you're not going to have the sex talk with him." Lucas said wincing.
"What's wrong with that?"
"It's awkward mom because you're well I don't know…our mom."
"So?"
"What Lucas is trying to say is that boys get very uncomfortable talking about sex with their moms. Usually they would go to their father…you know that manly father son crap. But don't worry Karen I'm totally siding with you here. Mothers should be able to speak with their sons about sex. Maybe you should have one with both of your sons so Nathan doesn't feel completely awkward."Brooke smile mischievously finding it hard not to laugh at the death glare Lucas was now giving her.
"You know what Brooke that's not such a bad idea."Karen said laughing at the expression on her son's face. "Well enjoy your food; I'll talk to you two later."
"Thanks Karen."Brooke waved. "What?"
"You do know that Nathan is going to kill you right?"
"What? Why would he do that?"
"You just told our mom that he basically has sex with Haley…"
"And…"Brooke said not knowing where he was going with the conversation.
"And he's not."
"He's not? Wait don't answer that. I know the answer already; I know they're not having sex. And besides Karen brought it up first."
"She was joking…you on the other hand just told my mom to give Nathan the 'talk'."
"Oh he'll get over it."Brooke said dismissively. "Well at least he doesn't have to get one with Dan like you did."
Flashback 5 years ago
13 year old Lucas was standing outside his father's office wondering if he should go in or not. Finally deciding he knocked on the door and waited for the door to open.
"Lucas? What's up son?" Dan said inviting Lucas in. "Is this about basketball because I told you I'll be outside in second to help you…"
"No dad it's not that. I was wondering if you could give me advice…"Lucas said not finishing his sentence.
"Advice on what?" Dan asked looking at his son fidget around.
"Well its Brooke and I…were getting kind of serious…"Lucas said stumbling on his words.
"Oh you and Miss James. Well I'll be damned I thought it would be another year or two before we would have this talk, but I must say son you're progressive."Dan smiled.
Lucas just smiled weakly not knowing what to do.
"Here this is just what you need."Dan said walking over to the closet and pulling out a box. He handed to Lucas.
Staring at the box Lucas opened it with shaking hands. Lucas was shocked in place as he looked at the objects with in the box. Inside was a bunch of condoms, porn magazines, and lotion.
"Good luck son…make me proud."Dan said patting Lucas on the back.
Flashback End
"Thanks a lot for reminding me."Lucas said sarcastically.
"No problem boyfriend…speaking of the devil."Brooke looking down at her salad as the café door opened.
"Son of bitch!" Lucas growled in a low voice.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………........
The wind was blowing with leaves on the ground whooshing around. Nathan and Haley were currently entering the cemetery hand in hand, Nathan bringing her in close when he felt her shiver.
"It's right over there." Haley said breaking away from Nathan and kneeling down. "Hey mom it's me Haley." She said tearing. "I miss you so much, so does Brooke. I wish you could be here, I need so much advice about things like school and well other things." She said starting to blush remembering Nathan was behind her. "Come here," Haley said holding her hand out for him. Grabbing her hand he took a seat next to Haley. "Mom you remember Nathan right? Well guess what he's my boyfriend…well it's not like it's a big surprise to you since you always use to tease me about it before." Haley said laughing lightly squeezing Nathan's hand. He smiled at her and kissed her palm tenderly.
"Hey Mrs. James, it feels so weird not having you around but I know even though you're not here physically your still here in spirit watching us every day. I wanted to tell you how much your daughter means to me and that I won't let anything happened to her, no matter what happens." Nathan said looking straight into Haley's eyes. Right at that second all he wanted to do was tell her how much he loved her, but he couldn't…at least not yet.
Haley couldn't stop the tears that fell from her eyes as Nathan spoke with her mother. He was so sweet and so kind, "God I love you," Haley thought as she stared into his deep blue eyes.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Son of bitch!" Lucas growled in a low voice.
There at the entrance of the café stood Dan with his evil smirk walking up to the counter where Karen was. Feeling someone watching her Karen turned around and stopped dead in her tracks at the sight of her husband.
"Who the hell do you think you are coming around here?" Karen spoke harshly.
"Karen just hear me out…I didn't mean for any of this to happen. What happened between me and Nathan was all a misunderstanding. Things just came out the wrong way. I feel terrible about it. I would never lay a hand on one of my sons, but I just got out of control. I'm to blame for everything that took place."
"You're damn right you're to blame. Because of you I was up the whole night waiting for him to come home, only to be up all day until he came by in the late morning. I'm telling you Dan hearing the things you did to my boys over the years hurt…it really, truly hurt. I wouldn't have expected any of this to happen, but like you always do you prove me wrong. I forgave you the last time you did something hurtful, but this time it's not so easy to forgive."
"Karen…"
"No you let me finish damn it! You put your filthy hands on my son and for that I can never forgive you. Now I told you that night and I'm going to tell you again…stay the hell away from me and my boys. You so much as blink in their direction and I'll have you locked up in a jail."Karen bit out.
"Just who do you think you are? Little Miss Perfect? I don't think so Karen. Those boys are my sons as much as they are yours. I can do what I damn well please. Just because you tell me to stay away doesn't mean I'm going to listen to you. A matter of fact I think I'm going to move back home. You know so we can be a happy family again. And I'm going to discipline my sons however I want. And there's nothing you can do about it."
"No you won't. I filed for divorce Dan and once they find out what you did to Nate I'll have custody so fast you won't be able to say word. Don't so much as think you're taking Nathan away from me because it will never happen."
"Really, is that what you think? When are you going to learn Karen, I run things in this town, I have better lawyers than you will ever have. Take me to court and I'll win and Nathan's mine."
"Nathan is not a possession Dan he is a person and I know I'll get custody. I've been more of a mother to him than you have been a father."
"Are you kidding me, Nathan and I have spent more time over the last 5 years than you have."
"No Dan you were being a drill sergeant…not a father."
"I've warned you Karen, take me to court and Nathan is mine."
"No I'm not" Nathan said finally making his presence know. He walked in earlier with Haley after leaving the cemetery. Nathan stood at the door standing tall with a frightened Haley behind him.
"Well well well if it isn't the son we're discussing. How you doing son? Not that I would know since you always hang up on me."
"I have nothing to say to you."Nathan said hugging Haley to his side while walking towards the booth Lucas and Brooke were currently at watching the scene unfold.
"Where the hell do you think you're going?"Dan said yanking Nathan's arm bringing him back. Lucas reacted quickly, jumping up from the table and punching Dan right in the jaw, while Nathan pushed him to the ground.
"Don't you put your fucking hands on him or I swear I'll kill you myself!"Lucas yelled being held back by Nathan. "I'm good let go of me." Lucas said calmly breaking free from Nathan.
"Get the hell out Dan!"Karen yelled. Dan got up off the floor and put his hands up. Walking past everyone but stopping when he saw Nathan caressing Haley's cheek whispering something in her ear and giving her a chaste kiss. He started to laugh disbelievingly.
"You have got to be kidding me. You really are giving up everything up for some girl." He looked back and shook his head and went out the door. Lucas however had to hold back Nathan as he tried to go after him.
"Nathan calm down!"Lucas and Karen yelled. Nathan was so pissed off that he tried to break away from Lucas. Until he felt a gentle hand pull his arm back. Turning around he was met with the sad beautiful eyes of his girlfriend.
"Hey, forget about him, calm down ok?"Haley said taking his hand and pulling him towards her embracing him in a hug.
"I'm sorry everyone, please go back to your lunch." Karen said to her customers.
"I'm sorry." Nathan whispered in Haley's ear.
"For what?" Haley said moving her hand up and down his back trying to calm him.
"What he said."
"He is responsible for what he says not you ok? So stop getting angry when he says things like that, he's just trying to rile you up."
"It's just…he's so damn good at it."
"I know."Haley laughed.
"It's not funny."Nathan warned.
"Uh huh," Haley said wrapping her arms around his neck bringing his head down so she could kiss him. Nathan sighed once their lips met hugging her closer to him he deepened the kiss.
"Mhm…"Karen coughed.
"Tutor girl and Boy toy break it up!"Brooke yelled.
Nathan and Haley broke apart blushing at losing control in front of Karen.
"Ok you two no PDA in my café please!"
"Sorry."They said in unison.
"So will you be staying for dinner Haley?" Karen asked walking back around the counter.
"Actually Haley we have to go, dad came back and he wants to hang out with us before he has to leave again."Brooke said.
"Oh well I guess not."
"We should get going now so we can get home at 3." Brooke said looking down at her watch.
"Ok thanks though. Bye Karen, Luke…I'll call you later."Haley said leaning up to give Nathan a kiss.
"Alright, bye baby."Nathan said kissing her once more pulling away before it got intense.
"Bye everyone."Brooke said giving Lucas a quick kiss before pulling Haley out of the café.
"Bye girls."Karen said before pointing a finger at Nathan, "You follow me."
Nathan looked back at Lucas. "What I do?" Lucas just put his hands up in defiance before turning back to the table and picking up the dishes him and Brooke used.
Following his mother into the kitchen Nathan tried to think of all the possible things he could have done, hell he just got off a grounding last night.
"Sit down." Listening to his mother Nathan took a seat on one of the chairs.
"Did I do something wrong?"
"No, it's just Nathan your only 15 and your just…You and Haley are moving pretty fast. And well you know when you have sex…"
"Oh my god mom!" Nathan yelled covering his ears with his hands.
"Nathan I'm serious."
"So am I."
"Nathan you're going to have to listen whether you like it or not."Karen warned.
Removing his hands from his ears Nathan scrunched up his face and looked back at his mom, "Mom…"he whined.
"No Nathan, you and Haley are getting serious. I see the way you both look at each other. Although I know I won't be able to stop you, maybe you'll at least take my advice."
"Fine, I'm listening."
"I know you care about her…"
"I love her mom." Nathan said cutting off Karen.
"I…I kind of expected it. All the signs are there. The protectiveness, the gentle caresses, and the way you don't let go of her, like if you did she might disappear forever."
"Nathan I just want you to be safe ok? No carelessness. Sex is a big deal."
"I know mom that's why me and Haley aren't doing that. We're not ready for that. And I'm not going to pressure her. I love her and I promise you if and when sex makes its way into our relationship we'll be safe. Don't worry mom, were both young, and we're not taking it that fast. But thanks for caring so much."
"See that wasn't so hard."Karen said hugging her youngest son. "Treat her right Nate."
"I always will." Nathan said.
He went back out to the counter and pointed his finger at Lucas.
"I'm gonna kick your ass!"
