Just have to say that I thought Chad's episode was great. Loved all the Nathan/Haley stuff. Here is an update. Thanks for all the reviews.
The ride to Brooke and Lucas's house was quiet. Nathan tried to think of something to say but he couldn't find the words. He had never had any trouble talking to her before. He hated that they were almost like strangers now.
When they were at Brooke's it was no different. She went straight to Brooke's room and got her things and they headed back to the hospital.
It had started snowing pretty good on the way back to the hospital.
"Looks like we might get a storm tonight." Nathan said.
Haley didn't respond she just kept walking towards Brooke's room. Lucas saw them coming down the hall and told Haley that Brooke was in the nursery and she should go there. He and Nathan would hang here and wait for them.
Haley got down to the nursery and Brooke was sitting with Rory. She saw Haley and made her way out to the viewing area.
"She is so beautiful Brooke."
"Thanks godmother and thanks for going and getting my things for me."
Haley was very quiet as they stood and looked at Rory threw the window.
"Hales you ok?" Brooke asked her.
"Yes why wouldn't I be?"
"Did you and Nathan get a chance to talk?" Brooke asked.
"That was pretty sneaky of you having Nathan drive me to your house." Haley said not looking at her.
"Don't be mad at me Haley. You and Nathan just need to talk things out. You guys are perfect for each other. Your both hurting and I just thought that if you were alone together you could work things out."
"It was a nice gesture but we don't even know how to act around each other anymore." Haley said. "He really hurt me Brooke."
"I know he did but he knows that he was a jerk and he wants to make it right. He doesn't want to lose you Haley. That boy is head over heels in love with you."
"Are you going to tell him what happened in Boston? I know that really shuck you up and you can't tell me that you still don't think about it. You were practically assaulted."
Haley still had thoughts about what almost happened with Jonathan. It still made her a little uncomfortable from time to time.
"Nathan was already not to found of Jonathan I don't know what he would do if he knows what happened."
"Haley you need to tell him. You don't want him finding out from someone else."
Nathan and Lucas were sitting in Brooke's room watching TV.
"Looks pretty bad out." Lucas said as he looked out the window.
"Haley can go to your house I don't want her at our house bye herself?"
"I don't want her by herself either but I don't think she wants to be with me." Nathan said with a sad face.
"That's crazy man. She loves you."
"I'm just not her favorite person right now."
"You two just need to work this out. Yes you acted like a jerk but you love her and she loves you. I want my daughter's godparents getting along." Lucas said as he slapped his brothers back.
"You want me to be Rory's godfather?" Nathan asked.
"Well yes who would be better than her uncle?"
"I would be honored Luke."
Brooke and Haley walked back to the room and noticed the guys watching TV.
"Haley I don't want you going to our house by yourself so you should just go home with Nathan." Brooke said as she went to sit with Lucas.
"Brooke I will be fine."
"No I'm not going to worry about you all night. What if the electricity goes out or you can't get out in the morning. I'm not taking no for an answer."
"Fine you win." Haley said a little angry.
"We better get going then." Nathan said.
They made it back to his house. The snow started falling harder and the wind had picked up. Nathan got the generator ready incase they lost power and went and found extra blankets some flashlights and candles.
"Are you hungry or thirsty? I could put a pizza in or make sandwiches whatever you want?" Nathan asked as he came into the living room where Haley was.
"I think I will just head up to bed. Can I use the guestroom?" Haley said.
Nathan didn't respond to her right away. That was the most she has spoken to him for awhile.
"Nathan"
"Oh right sorry. You have to sleep in my room."
"What! Why?" Haley said hands on her hips.
Nathan was a little sad at her expression. Had he ruined their relationship so bad that she couldn't stand the thought of being with him again?
"It's just that I am redoing the floor in that room and Luke's room is full of junk so you will have to stay in my room. I'll just sleep down her on the hide-a-bed."
"No you should be able to stay in your room. I will sleep down here." Haley said.
"Hales I'm not letting you sleep on this bed. Just stop being stubborn and sleep in my room. It's more comfortable. I'm gonna go and put a pizza in the oven." Nathan said as he walked in the kitchen.
Haley walked up to his room and decided to go and take a shower. She walked out of his bathroom and started walking towards her bag when she noticed a picture on his dresser.
It was the same picture of them from her birthday party that he had given her.
She picked up the picture and got a smile on her face remembering that day. It had been so great. His surprise party for her. She was so happy that day.
Haley got dressed and went back downstairs. Nathan was in the kitchen getting the pizza out of the oven. Nathan turned to see her standing in front of him. He had missed seeing her so much. Nathan walked over to her and ran his fingers down her face.
Haley closed her eyes as he touched her face.
"Hales I've missed you so much." Nathan said as he moved to kiss her.
"Wait Nathan we need to talk first." Haley said backing away from him noticing the sad look on his face.
