Nathan couldn't move, speak or do anything at the moment. As he looked down on this little boy who had his blue eyes and all his facial features, Nathan would have never thought that he and Haley could have ever made something so beautiful, because that is what he was: beautiful in every way.
Nathan came back to reality.
"Hey I'm Nathan Sc- Scottie" Nathan said unsure if Haley wanted him to use his last name.
"No your not" James said remembering that Nathan played for the La Lakers.
"Huh??" Nathan said confused.
"Your not Nathan Scottie, your Nathan Scott, the NBA player" James said surely.
"Well aren't you smart" Nathan said smiling.
"Yeah I guess" James said, then turning to Haley.
"Hey mom can I show Mr. Scott my toys" James said
"Umm…Mr.Scott has to get going and you have to go to sleep young man" Haley said smiling but sternly.
"Awww.. Mom please just 10 minutes" James pleaded, giving Haley a pout.
"Fine, Fine, but only 10 minutes" Haley said giving in. Looking at Nathan. "If it's okay with Mr.Scott that it" Haley said.
"Yeah sure" Nathan said still smiling.
"Yes!" James said and grabbed Nathan's hand and pulled him to his room.
Haley just stood there rooted to the spot, trying to remember this moment forever, she never thought that she would ever see that sight, Nathan and James hand and hand talking and laughing. She wanted to remember this moment forever.
Later that nightNathan said his goodbye to James and made his way to the front room, to say goodbye to Haley.
Haley was lying on the couch falling asleep.
"Um..Haley I'm about to leave" Nathan said softly.
"Okay, let me lock the door behind you" Haley said getting up.
"He doesn't know me," Nathan said as they got to the door.
"Do you want him to you?" Haley asked, avoiding his eyes afraid of getting lost in them.
"Yes, but I want him to know me, not the Nathan Scott basketball guy me, Nathan.. his dad" Nathan said carefully.
"Then we have to tell him…together," Haley said fidgeting.
"I know but I have to figure some things out" Nathan said, turning the doorknob.
"Well whenever your ready we'll be here," Haley said touching his arm.
They both stopped. Feeling the spark between each of their bodies. They stood in a trance until Nathan spoke up.
"I'll be back.. I promise" Nathan said sincerely.
"Bye Nathan" Haley said.
"Bye Hales" Nathan said turned and walked out.
Haley closed the door behind her, and went to check on James. James was in his room putting up his toys when Haley walked in.
"Come on James its time for bed, actually its way past your bedtime" Haley said looking at her watch, and picking up some toys from the floor.
"Okay Mommy" James said getting into bed.
"Mommy what were you and Mr. Scott yelling about?" James said laying down.
"Oh nothing, Adult stuff" Haley smiled.
"Whatever you say mommy" James said smirking.
"Oh, what's that mean Mr. Smarty Pants?" Haley said tickling James.
"Nothing…mommy….please…haha…haa…." James said laughing.
Haley stopped tickling James, tucked him in and kissed him on the forehead.
"Goodnight James"
"Goodnight Mommy"
Haley walked out, turning the light out behind her. Haley walked to her bedroom shutting all the lights off on the way.
She walked into her bedroom, and over to the dresser opened her 1st drawer and pulled out a jewelry box. She opened it and took out the Cracker Jack box bracelet; she just held it in her hand and reminisced.
"Don't say I never gave you anything"She put the bracelet on her wrist and went to sleep.
