Who We Are
Chapter 21
"Maybe you block things out because you're afraid if you face the truth, it could hurt the other people you love."
In the morning
Nathan smiled at the sight of Haley. She leaned over kissing him.
"Do you think we made a baby.?" Haley asked. Looking up at him.
"We might of if we didn't. There are many more nights like last night to look forward too." Nathan said. Taking her in his arms.
"Now I can't think of a better reason to have a sleepless night." Haley said. Smiling. Kissing him again.
"Breakfast, Mornings like this make me want to just shut out the rest of the world. And to think in a matter of months we'll have a beautiful baby in our arms. Do you want a boy or a girl.?" Haley asked.
"A girl. Who is as smart, beautiful, and full of life like her mom." Nathan said. Looking back at Haley.
"I could picture us with a little girl. I want a boy. A son who you can teach basketball too, and go camping with. And show him what it means to be a good person and a strong man someday. Whether we have a son or a daughter. Our child will be created from pure love." Haley said. Looking to him.
"Do you want to shower first or can I.?" Nathan asked. As he got out of bed putting back on his sweatpants.
Haley getting out of bed and putting on his t shirt.
Taking his hand in hers. "Let's save on time, water, and just shower together." Haley said. Leaning over kissing him. Letting go of his hand. While she walked into the bathroom. Which was steps away.
He turned around watching her walk inside the room. Going in after her. Turning on the water as the mirror and glass door of the shower started to become steamed.
Haley pulled him closer to her. He reached for the t-shirt she had on throwing it off. As he began kissing her.
She broke the kiss getting into the shower. He got in with her minutes later. Shutting the door behind them.

"I'm off to the store to get some gifts for Eric and Logan. And a delayed wedding gift for Clay and Quinn since we weren't involved when it was actually happening and I'm getting a wedding gift for Nathan and Haley. Would you like to come along I know Quinn would like to see you and Logan is such a joy to be around. You would know that if you took the time to get to know the boy. It's been such a mistake not being involved with our girls. I'm not going to ever put distance between myself and them again." Jimmy said. Looking up at Lydia.
"You enjoy your time there. They made their decisions going against everything we've taught them and what I believe. For what. Momentary happiness. Neither of those men will ever be able give our daughters the lifestyle and sense of status and importance we gave them their entire lives. The people making the mistakes here are the three of them. Haley especially Nathan Scott will be her downfall. I can't bare to watch. I'm staying here in New York." Lydia said.
"Fine you do that. And I will no longer fill you on how my days in Tree Hill go because it's clear that you only care about yourself. And I'm too exhausted to keep trying to change you or make you see a different way of life."
"And what they provide to them is love. The kind that comes without condition. Something I'm starting to wonder if you've forgotten about. I love you so much. We've built this life together and had this beautiful family. And yet it seems as if you would alright without them or me." Jimmy said. Looking to her.
Lydia looked up at him. "You're right I don't love you. You need me I don't need you." Lydia said. Looking back at him.

Haley got out of Nathan's arms. The couple was enjoying a quiet day at home since they were free from work. Sitting on the couch watching movies. Nathan got up and went to answer the knocking at door. Opening it slowly.
" Hey Luke. What's up.?" Nathan asked with a smile.
Lucas walked inside the home. Looking over at Haley.
"We need to talk Nate." Lucas said. Looking up at his brother.
"Okay let's go sit down." Nathan said. Looking back at Lucas.
The brothers got out of the entry way and walked into the living room. Taking seats next to each other. Lucas looked away and took a breath. Before he looked back at Nathan.
"Luke what is it. Just tell me what's going on." Nathan said. Suddenly feeling nervous.
"You know how my mom and your mom have breakfast together a couple times a week. It's something they both look forward to. It was my mom's turn to go over and make breakfast for the both of them. So, she drove over to Deb's house and walked inside. With the key she had and expected to see her in the kitchen or the living room. But she didn't and called out to her.
After doing that for a while and not hearing anything she went up the stairs and through the hallway. Then opened the door to her room and walked inside and called out to her again.
It was quiet. She walked over to the bed and saw her laying there. Thinking she had just been asleep all this time. She put her hand on her shoulder and started to try and wake her up. It wasn't working. That's when she started to panic and kept calling out to her. She calmed down and checked for her pulse and didn't find one." Lucas said.
"I don't understand what your trying to say." Nathan said. The thoughts in his mind beginning to spin.
"Your mom died Nate." Lucas said. Trying to control his emotion.
