I do not own One Tree Hill
Okay, this was just something sort of fun for me to write to try and getting my flow back. I also may be starting a new story soon. I haven't decided if I'm going to post it yet. I may be a little in over my head, but I thought of a story that kind of interests me so we'll see!
Chapter 53
"Nathan! Look at this one." Haley said, holding out a picture to him and smiling brightly. "Look at how young we look." She said, letting out a deep breath.
"Haley, it's four in the morning." Nathan grumbled, rubbing his hand down his face and sitting up slowly. "Why are you still up?"
"I couldn't sleep. Look at this picture of us." She said, kissing his cheek. "It's from when we were dating."
"You mean it's from the whole week we were dating?" He asked her, looking down at the picture and rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Cool."
She raised her eyebrows, shaking her head. "Cool?" She laughed.
"Yep." He said, pulling her glasses off her face. "Come to bed."
Haley took them from his hand, putting them back on her face. "I'm not tired. Look at this picture again, Nathan."
He sighed softly, rubbing his eyes and nodding. "What would you like me to say about it?"
"Say it's cute, because it is."
"It's cute."
She sighed, flattening his hair down onto his forehead. "Maybe you should come look at these pictures with me." She suggested, nudging him softly.
Nathan leaned back against the headboard, shaking his head. "Maybe you should go to bed." He responded, closing his eyes. "You're crazy. I need my beauty sleep otherwise I'll start looking like an old man."
"You weren't complaining about sleep the other night." She pointed out, laughing quietly.
"That's because we were having sex. You'll never hear me complain when I'm getting some." He grumbled, yawning.
"Come on, baby... If you stay up with me now then I'll take the kids to school tomorrow and we can come back home and go back to bed." She said, tugging on his shirt softly. "I can't sleep."
"I must have three children now because I distinctly remember Lydia coming into our room and telling us that a few hours ago." He said, sighing softly.
Haley laughed, wrapping her arm around his shoulders, rubbing his chest softly. "Look how little we used to be, Nathan. We had fun when we were dating."
"I turned you into a badass that skipped school." He responded, blinking his eyes open and looking down at the picture of them, smiling slightly.
"I didn't skip school that often." She laughed, shaking her head.
"We did have fun though." Nathan said, looking over at her and smiling. "Alright, fine. Let's look at some more pictures."
"I knew you'd cave. You can't resist my charm." She hummed, winking at him and standing up slowly, picking up the box off the ground and setting it on the bed.
"I hope you weren't lifting this stud all by yourself." He said, raising his eyebrows.
"It's not heavy, don't worry." She laughed, sitting down next to him.
He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, kissing her head softly. "You better not fall asleep, Hales. I'm awake now."
"Trust me, honey. I'm awake. I literally slept for an hour and now I can't go back to sleep. So I'm up." She laughed, sliding the box closer to them.
Nathan picked up a picture out of the box, smiling slightly. "Check this out." He said, holding it out to her.
"This was when Cheryl Crow came into the cafe!" Haley said, smiling at him. "Look at how young I was."
"You keep saying that, Hales... But you look the same. You hair is the only thing that changes." He laughed, kissing her head softly.
"That was so crazy." She said, smiling down at the picture. "I still can't believe that happened to us."
"What will it take for you to sing me some of the new songs you've been recording?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Mm... Diamonds." She laughed, winking at him.
"First you wake me up at four in the morning to look at a picture that will look the exact same, and now you only want me for my money. What's next?" Nathan laughed, smiling at her.
"You'll just have to wait and see." She hummed, biting his earlobe softly. Haley turned her attention back to the box, picking up another picture. "I love this one. Look at how you're looking at me."
"Look at how you're looking at me." He said, tapping the picture.
"We should recreate these pictures." She said, looking up at him.
"I think we should recreate this one." He said, smirking at picking up a picture.
She raised her eyebrows, looking at the picture and yanking it out of his hand. "Don't." She said, shaking her head quickly.
"Come on." He said, smirking at her.
"No. I don't know how that picture ended up in this box." She said, shaking her head again.
"Let's recreate it." He hummed, pulling his shirt over his head.
"Put your shirt back on." She grumbled, rolling her eyes.
"In order for this to work, you have to take your shirt off too." He said, tugging on her sleeve.
"I'm not going to take my shirt off." Haley said, pushing his hand away.
"I thought you wanted to recreate our pictures?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.
"I'm not recreating this one. I forgot this one even existed. And now that I look back at it when I'm thirty, I wish that we'd never taken it. I really don't know how it ended up in this box." She said, sighing softly.
Nathan smirked at her, taking it back and looking down at it. "How long do you think we'd been married in this picture?"
"A few weeks." She said, running her fingers through her hair. "Give it back to me. I'm going to burn it."
"No way!" He protested, standing to his feet quickly.
"Nathan, we have children." Haley said, shaking her head. "They look through our things."
"This picture is hot, Hales. There's no way I'm going to let you burn it." He said, looking down at it again, smirking.
"When we die, our children are going to look through our things and have this to remember us by." She pointed out, crossing her arms.
"No, no. I'm taking this to the grave with me." He informed her.
"Nathan, just give it to me."
"I won't."
"Come on, please." She begged him, sighing softly, getting out of bed.
"If you want it, you have to grab it." He responded, raising his hand in the air.
Haley looked at him, scowling slightly. "Nathan Royal Scott, give me that picture right now."
"That doesn't work on me, Haley." He laughed, winking at her. "Look how hot we are."
"We have children!" She scowled, poking his chest.
"I know, Haley. That's why we're recreating this in the middle of the night so they won't wake up. Now, start stripping." Nathan said, smirking at her.
"Give me the picture and maybe I will." She said, sighing softly.
He looked up at the picture in his hand, before looking down at Haley. "Nah." He laughed, shrugging. "I know you won't. You'll just start a fire and throw it in there. I completely forgot about this picture, and it won't happen again. Let me keep it."
"I swear, if anyone sees that... That's all you'll have for the rest of your life." She said, rolling her eyes.
"Oh, baby... It's funny how you think you could live without sex for more than a week. The last fifteen years you've been getting it regularly." He smirked at her, shaking his head.
"You used to be gone for most of the year, Nathan. I could do it." She said simply, shrugging. "And you go out of town a lot."
"That's because I wasn't home. But when I am home, you can't resist me." He pointed out, smirking. "Especially when you're pregnant. This body gets you going." He said, gesturing down at his torso.
"You're so full of it. I know that I could last a week, probably even longer. I just know how much you need it." She scowled at him.
"How much I need it? Yeah, okay. I love having sex with you, Haley. But I know how you get when you don't get some." He smirked, shaking his head.
"Oh yeah? Well if you cave, I get that picture. And if I cave, you can keep it. Just as long as no one sees it but you." She said, shrugging.
"Deal- wait, what?" He asked, raising his eyebrows. "Wait a second, wait a second. What just happened?"
"Are you caving already?" Haley asked, smirking slightly.
Nathan looked up at the picture in his hand once more, before looking down at Haley. "No. I think you'll give in first. And, if I win, we recreate the picture too."
"Deal. But just know, that I'm sticking to this. That picture is as good as gone." She said simply, sitting back down on the bed.
Nathan shrugged, sitting down next to her, sliding the picture into his pocket. "Whatever, Hales." He hummed, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. "I guess we should keep looking at pictures, unless you already want to cave because my muscles are turning you on?"
She shook her head, rolling her eyes and tugging the box closer to them. "I think I'm good." She said, picking up another picture. "Look at this one of Lucas and me. Aw, he's so cute." She said, smiling at it.
"You're wearing that ugly poncho." He laughed, shaking his head.
"I think you secretly liked that poncho. You always talked about it." Haley informed him, rolling her eyes.
"Did you listen to what I said when I talked about it?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.
"No, I rarely listen to you, Nathan." She said sarcastically, smiling at the picture again. "I think that one was taken before he even joined the Ravens."
"Glad you finally found the better Scott brother to spend your time with?" He asked, smiling at her.
"You both have your days." She teased him, resting her head on his shoulder. "There's probably some of us when we were younger in here too. I think Karen put a lot of that stuff in storage, though."
"Hey, check it out." Nathan said, picking up a picture and holding it up. "Jamie." He said, smiling at the baby picture.
"My baby is so old now." Haley sighed, looking at the picture and smiling. "He was probably only two months old in this picture. Where has the time gone?"
"I know, right? At least we're having another one." He said, nodding at her.
"Maybe we should just have another baby as soon as our kids turn two. Big families are crazy, I know, but I love having little tiny babies." She said, looking up at him.
"In order for that to happen, you'll have to break the no sex pact. Because I won't do it." He said, laughing and smirking at her.
"Oh, baby. I know that you'll give in first. Sorry, that's just the way it is." Haley hummed, patting his cheek and looking in the box again.
