Chapter 4

After everyone left Nathan and Haley went upstairs and put Audrey to bed.

"She is so cute." Nathan said looking at his baby girl

"She is, isn't she."

"Yup. Well lets go to our room so we don't wake her up and so you can sleep in your own bed."

"Yay!" Haley said as they walked towards there room and Nathan let out a laugh.

They were lying in their bed when the silence was broken by Haley.

"Nate did you plan that?"

"What?"

"The party thingy."

"Yea. Why?"

"Nothing I was just wondering. It was really sweet of you to do that."

"Well I'd do anything for you, and Audrey."

"Aw! So sweet!" Haley said kissing Nathan on the cheek.

"I know I am."Nate said as Haley just laughed at him.

"I'm surprised we were ever able to get Luke to let go of Audrey." Haley laughed

"Yea I'm surprised he isn't still here."

"Well brook finally got him to leave."

"How?"

"She said that if he didn't leave he would have to where pink at their wedding. And when he heard that he would have to wear pink he ran out of the house."

"Knowing Brook she would actually make him wear pink, even if he did leave."

"Yea, she would." Haley laughed.

"I love you Scott!" Haley said kissing Nathan.

"I love you too James."

"Scott."

"Yes?"

"No I mean I'm Scott now also, you called me James."

"Habit."

Haley laughed and soon fell asleep, in her own bad, in Nathan's arms.

**3:00 in the morning**

Nathan and Haley both woke up when they heard Audrey crying.

"I'll be back." Haley yawned. She got up and walked to Audrey's room and found the baby girl crying. "Hey baby girl. Are you hungry?" Haley asked as Audrey continued to cry. "I'll take that as a yes, and you would probably want me to change your diaper." she laughed. She changed Audrey's diaper then went down stairs and made a bottle for Audrey. She gave Audrey the bottle then after she fell asleep Haley put her back in her crib and went back into her own room and fell asleep.

**later that morning**

Nathan was awaken by the phone ringing.

"Hello?" he yawned.

"Hi Nathan." Deb said, sadness in her voice.

"Mom what's wrong?"

"Y...your father...he...he died last night."

"Oh. Mom are you ok?" Nathan asked.

"Yes I'm fine but I need help planning the funeral and he has a will so you will need to come and hear the reading of that."

"Oh ok. Well we will be in Tree Hill soon." Nathan said hanging up the phone.

"Who was that?" Haley asked.

"My mom."

"Nate? What's wrong?"

"My dad died." Nathan said.

"Are you ok babe?"

"Yea, I think so but I mean he was my dad."

Haley pulled him into her arms saying, "its ok Nate, everything will be ok."

"I know, its just the fact that he was my dad and now he is dead, it just has always seemed to me that he would never die. When I was little it always seemed like nothing would ever happen to him, he was always pushing me and nothing ever happened to him, and now...now he is dead."

"It ok babe, its ok."

"We have to go to Tree Hill so that I can help my mom with the funeral plans, and he apparently had a will made so we have to go listen to that being read."

"Ok." Haley said still holding him in her arms.

After a few minutes Nathan finally spoke up, "Do you think I should tell Luke? I know he was never close with him but still he is still his dad."

"Yea, I think that he should at least know about it."

Brook and Lucas were lying asleep in bed when they heard the phone ring.

"Luke answer the phone!" brook said crankily.

"Ok ok hold your horses!"

"Hello?"

"Hey Luke, its Nate."

"Hey Nate, there better be a good reason why you called me this early because I was asleep!"

"Um sorry about that. Well um Luke dad died."

"Oh. Are you ok?"

"Yea, just a little sad and all I mean he was my dad."

"Yea, I'm sorry Nate."

"Yea well me and Hales have to go back to tree hill to help my mom plan the funeral and to hear his will being read."

"Oh. He has a will?"

"Yea surprising I know. Well I got to go just wanted to let you know since he is your dad also."

"Yea thanks Nate. Sorry."

"Its ok, talk to ya later."

"Bye." Luke said as he hung up the phone.

"What are you sorry about babe?" brook asked.

"Dan died."

"Oh my god! How is Nate?"

"He said that he was ok, just a little sad I mean it was his dad, but he did push him to far and all that stuff. His voice sounded emotionless."

"Wow, poor Nate. When's the funeral?"

"I'm not sure why?"

"I think we should go. I know that you didn't like him but we should at least pay our respects and it will be good for Nathan."

"Fine."
