Haley sat on the beach by herself right after waking up. This was their last day in Hawaii and she wanted to savor the breeze and healing time this vacation has given to her. She knows that her actions of not telling Nathan about being pregnant will bite her in the ass eventually, but she doesn't want him leaving camp because of her. Yeah, she was still infuriated with the idea of being apart from him for that long but she knew that this was essential to him making it big in his basketball career.

It's been two weeks since arriving to Hawaii and although it's been killing her not contacting Nathan she knew it was necessary to keep her distance (emotionally) from him. Hearing his voice, or reading his texts and emails would just be too much for her to handle. Missing Nathan was going to be hard to overcome but she had to for the better sake of his career. She'd do anything for him to achieve his dreams.

"Another unanswered call, surprise, surprise" Nathan said upset as he threw his cell to his bed.

"Don't take it too personally," Lucas said as he assumed his usual position of plopping onto bed after practice.

"She doesn't answer ANY of my calls and I have to find out that she took OUR honeymoon trip with Brooke" he said fuming.

"It's not like you could go" Lucas let out simply.

"That's not the point! The point is that Haley is clearly ignoring me and trying to drive me crazy while I'm here."

"Well props to Hales because she's clearly succeeded" Lucas teased.

"None of this is funny Luke, maybe you'd understand if you actually had a wife"

"Yeah, because all high school couples get married at 16" he said adding fuel to the fire that was Nathan Scott.

"You better stop while you're ahead because I'm pissed off and I could really take my anger out on a blonde right now" Nathan threatened.

"Oh, you mean Haley, your wife? Oh, right! She's not here." He mocked.

Nathan charged at Lucas shoving him off of his bed and landing on the floor. Punches flew left and right for a few minutes but they just ended up how they started the fight; Nathan on top of Lucas ready to choke him to death.

"OK! MERCY! I SURRENDER!" Lucas begged as he felt the skin of his lip and eyelid busted.

Nathan rolled off of him angrily and could barely catch his breath. He felt as if his heart was going to pop out of his chest.

"You ok man?" Lucas asked as he saw his struggling friend.

"Never better" he said as he walked over to his bed to sit and take a breather.

"I'm really sorry, I always forget about your heart condition" Lucas said making sure he still had a functional heart.

"You just gave me a great idea" Nathan smiled at him.

"What are you talking about?" he said with confusion

"Oh… you'll see" he said with slyness.

"Hales! Hales come on already I'm starving!" Brooke yelled as she banged on the door leading to the bathroom.

"God, you're taking forever!" she said as she swung the door open to find Haley on the ground in pain.

"Oh my God, Hales!" she ran over to her.

"I'm in so much pain" she said as her hand stayed on her stomach.

"I'm gonna get help Hales." She said as she left the bathroom.

"Pain from stress is normal with pregnancies" the doctor told the girls.

"You're sure she's completely fine? I don't want to bring her back and her collapsing on me" Brooke half joked.

"Your son should be fine" he reassured.

"M-my son?" she questioned in awe.

"Yes, oh I'm sorry did you not want to know the sex?"

"Oh no. It's fine." She said with a tiny smile creeping onto her lips.

"Lovely, let's hit the road Tutor Girl" she said grabbing her hand exiting the room.

"You bitch!" Brooke said as she hit Haley on the arm.

"What the hell was that for?!"

"Don't scare me like that ever again I thought you were dying!" she said frustrated.

Haley couldn't help but laugh at her friend.

"I love you Brooke" she said as she hugged her.

Brooke looked around confused that she gets such a gesture after hitting her.

"Are you sure you're ok?"

"I'm sure"

Two Weeks Later

"Seventeens! Hustle, hustle, hustle!" the coach yelled at the sweat filled boys.

"I've had babies run faster than this! Come on you girls!"

"You alright Nate? You're looking pale." Lucas said concerned as they finished their drill.

"I'm fine" he said breathing heavily.

"Scott! Suicides for talking during my drills!" he said angrily.

"Coach I was just making sure he was ok."

"You too Roe, since you want to defend your girlfriend so badly." He retorted.

Nathan and Lucas did their drills as the rest of the guys were off to the locker room to take showers. At least they'd miss the storm they can call a testosterone filled room with the guys bragging about their girls back home or all the action they'd get while they were here in LA. Fat chance that any of it was true.

"How are you doing bud?" Lucas asked as he saw that Nathan was still paler than normal.

"I just need a nice long shower and I'll be as good as new" he smiled faintly.

"You're positive? I shouldn't be worrying about you dying or anything, right?" he joked.

"I'll be fine Luke, now let's just get out of these disgusting clothes and take a shower."

"Fine with me" he agreed as they finally entered the locker room.

"So you're trying to tell us that you left your 36 year old English teacher to go to this camp?" Nathan said in disbelief.

"She was a complete fox but I had to end things before things got too serious" Damien bragged to Lucas and Nathan as they were about to leave the gym.

"I bet you miss her" Lucas replied.

"Not really, she was getting too clingy" he laughed.

Nathan and Lucas shook their heads in amusement but decided to go along with his absurd story.

"So what's the deal with you two, secretly lovers?" he joked.

"Gross dude. No." Nathan said with disgust.

"I just thought that ring you wear was from blonde-y over here" he teased.

"No actually, I'm married. Back in Tree Hill I have a wife" Nathan admitted slightly ashamed.

"What's her name?" Damien asked.

"Haley, Haley James" Nathan answered.

"Do you have a picture of her?"

"Y-yeah I do actually," he said reaching for the wallet in his back pocket.

He shuffled around the one dollar bills and receipts and was finally able to reach a picture of her from their wedding night.

"Here" he said handing the picture to him.

"She's beautiful" Damien said gazing over the picture of Haley in her wedding dress.

"Don't get any ideas" Lucas said protectively.

"Is she ok with all of this? You leaving and everything?"

"No, she wasn't." he answered with despair.

"Then why'd she let you?"

Nathan looked at Lucas and swallowed hard with embarrassment. He reached into his pocket this time to find the ring.

"This is her wedding ring, the ring she's wearing in that picture" he said as he handed the ring to Damien.

"Don't tell me…" Damien said feeling bad for Nathan

"She ended things with me." He said looking down at his feet with shame.

Before the three knew it they reached the floor to their rooms.

"I'm really sorry Nate. I hope things work out for you. If you want to talk I'm here"

"Thanks man" he said as they went their separate ways to go to their rooms.

"Dammit Luke just when I start forgetting about her there she comes again. Back into my thoughts to torture me for the next five months of this camp" Nathan complained as they reached the door to their room.

"I know it's hard but you need to deal with real—" Lucas said getting cut off by the standing figure in their room.

"Haley?" Lucas asked shocked to see her.

"Hey guys" she said shyly as she waved.

"Hales…" Nathan said as he slowly approached her.

"Hi Nate" she said quietly as she stood there awkwardly.

Seeing her there in front of him after a month was just so unreal and all negative thoughts about her escaped his mind in that moment. All he knew was that he wanted to hold her and kiss her and tell her how much he loves her.

"God Hales I've missed you so much" he said as he hugged her tightly in his arms.

She smiled slightly as she saw Lucas going towards the door.

"I'm just going to give you two some time" he said shutting the door quietly.

"What are you doing here?" he asked as he let go of her.

"I—we need to talk" she said stumbling on her words.

He smiled widely at her. Completely stunned by her sight. After being apart from her for so long all he could do was be happy near her.

"Ok. We can talk"

"Are you mad at me for not calling you back?" she started.

"No. Well… at first I was, but you have your reasons" he said defending her.

"Did you miss me?"

"Every second of every day" he admitted quickly.

She looked away from him for a moment.

"We should sit for this" she said motioning him to his bed.

He saw how nervous she was becoming and he couldn't help but be paranoid for whatever she was about to say.

"If it's a divorce I don't want it, it'll never happen Hales" he said hands in the air with flat out refusal.

"What? I don't want a divorce" she said baffled by his assumptions.

"Oh."

"Do you really think I don't love you anymore?" she said as she held his hand.

"Kind of." He swallowed at his confession.

"I'm sorry I made you feel that way Natey" she kissed him on the cheek.

"Why didn't you ever call me back?" he said pulling away from her kiss.

"I was running from my problems"

"What problems? Besides the obvious me going to High Flyers issue."

She looked at him with fear and hurt. How was she going to admit this to him?

"Please Hales just tell me what's going on, you're scaring me" he said as he put his hand to her cheek with comfort.

"Promise you won't be mad at me, or hate me, or tell me I'm terrible." She said with nervousness.

"I promise" he can't remember the last time he's seen her so nervous before.

"Nathan, I-I'm, well, I'm…" she said stuttering.

"You're what baby?"

"Well, you see, I don't know how to tell you this" she said as her palms began to sweat.

"Just tell me, how bad can it be?" he chuckled.

"I'm pregnant" she let out.

His eyes widened and the words that just came out of her mouth were not processing through his mind.

"Nathan?" she questioned as she saw the shocked expression on his face.

"How long have you known?" He was finally able to let out.

"A month before you left for camp."

"How could you not tell me Hales?!" he yelled at her.

"You promised you weren't going to yell" she said on the verge of tears.

Nathan paced the room as he was trying to find the right words to explain this… situation.

"How far along are you?"

"Four almost five months" she sniffled.

"Dammit Hales, what in the world got into you that would convince you not to tell me something this important?"

"High Flyers."

"What?"

"I didn't want to shatter your dreams, but at the same time I wanted you to choose me over… basketball"

"You should've told me about the baby"

"That'd make things worse, you'd stay for pity"

"Hales, you know that's not true"

"Yes it is true. You're a good guy Nathan, you always have been. You've been my best friend since the beginning of time and I knew how important this camp was to you. If I took that away from you what kind of best friend does that make me?"

"You're my wife Haley Bob. Nothing in the world matters more to me than my pregnant wife" he said hugging her and putting his hands on her belly.

"Stop it Nathan" she said shrugging him off.

"Stop what?"

"Being so nice. I yelled at you and told you how terrible you were and made you choose between me and a game you've always loved." She cried.

"Hales… you have to understand something. Basketball is just a game. You, you're my best friend, my soulmate, my everything. How could you possibly think something else mattered more than that?"

"Because you did end up leaving me." She said stepping away from him.

Nathan sighed heavily not knowing what to say because frankly anything he said would upset or set her off.

"You said I've always loved basketball, right?" he said looking deep into her eyes.

"Yeah" she trembled as he neared her.

"I've loved you from the minute I was born. We were destined for each other Hales. I've always loved you" he said as he kissed her on the forehead and held her tight against his chest.

After not being near her presence for nearly a month being next to her was overwhelming. All he wanted to do was tie her to his bed so she could never escape him.

"I've missed you so damn much" he said as he kissed her suddenly on the lips.

Her hands quickly found their way to the back of his head and she got deep into their kiss. She hadn't realized how much she missed kissing his lips until this moment. The way his lips mesh perfectly with hers, the way he gently rubs the small of her back when he's getting passionate, or the way he lets her tongue dominate when unconsciously fighting for power. But all of this was confusing her state of mind. Yes, it was obvious they still loved each other but they still hadn't decided their plans for the baby or her pregnancy for that matter.

"Baby, baby, baby" she said pulling away from his strong grasp on her.

"We need to talk still" she said looking at his bright pink lips.

He looked absolutely defeated when she stopped kissing him. As if he couldn't do anything right.

"I'm coming home with you" he said abruptly.

"No. That's why I came here. You can't come with me" she demanded.

"Hales, you're pregnant. If I don't take care of you what kind of husband and father does that make me?"

"Natey baby." She said fiddling with his hair.

"I'll be fine, I want you to finish camp and make all your dreams come true" she said as she took his hand and rubbed it.

"I can't do that, just knowing you're at home pregnant and alone will kill me"

"And you wonder why I didn't tell you" she joked.

"Hales, I'm being serious here."

"I love you for being so concerned Nate. But you have to finish this camp, by the time it's over you'll be right on time for our son's birth!" she said excitedly.

"O-our son?" he said shocked at her words.

"Mhm" she nodded happily as she looked at his amazed expression.

He shuffled around the room again, in deeper thought this time.

"We'll webcam, Facetime, text, call, whatever it takes for you to update me on how you and our baby boy is doing" he said as he put his hands on her growing tummy again.

"I was actually scared that you'd be mad when I told you about the baby" she chuckled.

"Why would you think that?"

"I didn't want you thinking that I was trying to take your dreams away from you"

"You and this baby are my dreams, Hales. Remember, always and forever?"

"Always and forever" she cried as she held him like there was no tomorrow.

Nathan and Haley laid in his bed staring at each other in silence. They knew that everything was going to be ok. Things were going to be rough at times but ultimately, they'd always find their way.

"I could stare into your eyes forever" Haley admitted to Nathan.

"And I could lay here with you forever" He added.

Soft chuckles filled the room and nothing felt better. An unanticipated reunion was definitely surprising but well worth it. Hopefully their plans for their future work out as planned.

A/N: Hope you liked it! Some people were telling me how they were confused with the last chapter so I hope I cleared things up with this one! If this one's not so clear then I shall explain. Haley basically has an epiphany after learning their child's sex. The first thing she does is go to LA to tell Nathan and this is her time to fess up for everything she's kept from him. And the rest is a bunch of fluff and exchanges of I love you's. Hope everything is crystal clear now! Well really hope you thoroughly enjoyed it after my Sparknote version summary.
