Rehearsal

Rehearsal for the wedding was tough. Audrey hadn't been feeling well and she didn't want to do anything. The first three hours were full of bloopers and mistakes. Most of which belonged to Audrey. For some reason she couldn't concentrate. Her eyes were red and she was slightly feverish. Brook thought that it would be best if Haley stood in and let Audrey sit and chill before something happened. Reluctantly, Haley, who was the maid of honor, stood there and did the vows. The priest handed her a piece of paper and she read the vows. Nathan read his first he looked at Audrey the whole time.

"They say that everyone has someone that is perfect for them. For me that person is you. I know that you would not forsake me. There's no one in this world that can ever take your place. I never dreamed that love could be this way until the day that I found you. I have been so lucky to spend the last two years of my life with such a wonderful woman. I can't explain or thank you enough for saving me from myself. I vow to spend the rest of my life making you feel as happy, proud, loved, cherished, and honored as you have made me. I vow to spend my life showing you all the ways that I love you. In good and bad, sickness and health I swear that we weather any storm life may throw our way. These are my vows to you.

Haley sighed in and held back her tears as she looked up in Nathan's eyes and read the paper. Nathan looked at her as she read the words on the paper. He listened closely because she read the words with such conviction.

"Since I've met you Nathan. I have had the time of my life. I love you for all that you are and all that you do. You are the man that I am meant to spend the rest of my life with. I need you to complete me. So I make the vows that all lovers make: I vow to stand by you in good times and bad. For better or worst. For richer or poorer. Through sickness, health, and anything else that life decides to bring our way. I promise love, honor, and cherish you. And today I make a special vow to you. Nathan Daniel Scott, today I vow that with my mind, body and soul I will continue to be true to you and only you and you will continue to be my first, last, and only......."

When Nathan heard the last sentence he choked and ran out of the church. Audrey was going to run after him, but she was overtaken by her illness. So she told Haley to go while she ran to the bathroom. Haley did as she was asked. She ran out of the church only to find Nathan sitting on the steps. He was replaying the sentence in his mind. He looked up and saw Haley, who took a seat next to him.

"Her first, last, and only." he muttered.

Haley scooted closer to him. "Does that bother you or something? Most guys want that kind of girl and you're lucky enough to have one."

Nathan shook his head. "You don't understand. That means she's never had anyone else. Not before me and that makes it wrong."

Haley was confused. "Makes what wrong? Loving you?"

Nathan sighed. "No, it makes keeping the baby a secret wrong."

Haley was about to say something, but Nathan cut her off. "In the back of my mind I thought that she'd slept with some other man when we fought. I thought she had someone else on the side, but she didn't. I cheated and she remained faithful. I owe her."

Haley put her hand on Nathan's shoulder. "Nathan it's going to be okay."

Nathan looked at Haley and frowned. "No it won't. We have to tell her. She has to know right now. I don't want to keep this secret anymore."

Haley nodded. "When are you going to tell her?"

Nathan shook his head. "Not me....we are going to tell her right now. As soon as we are done with rehearsal. We'll meet back at the cottage."

Haley stood up. "Are you sure about this? You could lose her."

Nathan shrugged. "That's a risk I have to take. If not then our marriage will start with secrets and that is the fastest way to a divorce. I don't want that."

Haley rubbed her hand over his back. "Well lets get back inside. The sooner we finish the sooner we can get out of here."

Nathan stood up and dusted himself off. A few minutes later, the rehearsal was back in action. Nathan stared at Audrey. He hoped that she would understand and that she would stand by him like she had before.
