A.N Ok I had not had any intention of adding anything more to this story but after so many requests I decided to give you one final chapter. But I can assure you that this is it. There will be no more after this chapter. I hope you all enjoy it and thankyou so much to everyone who has read and reviewed this story. It was my first attempt at writing and judging by the reviews I recieved it was a success. Would love to hear from anyone who has any comments either on this chapter or the whole story so please review.

Epilogue

"After that day we didn't care who knew about us.

Half the school did anyway because they'd been listening to the radio.

I didn't find out till later but Tim had recorded every word I said and the song just in case Haley wasn't listening or wouldn't give me another chance.

Apparently he was planning to play it over the loudspeaker system at school and leave copies of it on her answering machine every day until she either killed us both or gave our relationship another chance."

"And for some reason he's surprised that he doesn't have a girlfriend." She added mischievously.

"So then what happened with you two?"

She picked up the story where he had left off.

"We continued on with high school except now we were together and so many things changed.

It was like a whole new life for me.

Before we got together I was always convinced that as long as I had a friend like Lucas then that was all I needed.

But when Nathan and I got together I realised just how much I'd been missing out on.

I became friends with Brooke and for the first time in my life I actually had another girl to hang out with.

But I didn't want to totally change into someone new.

I kept tutoring in my spare time and continued working at Karen's although it was a little uncomfortable at first but after a while it got better.

Unfortunately I had a bit more trouble trying to keep my grades up because I was having to deal with a lot more distraction then I had to in the past."

"Hey why are you all looking at me like that?" he asked plaintively.

"What makes you think it was my fault?"

"Gee I can't imagine why anyone would possibly blame you for distracting me," she joked.

"Well I guess when you put it that way. I can understand how I could have been a distraction for you.

I mean having some gorgeous guy like me hanging around it must have made it pretty hard to concentrate on anything else."

"As you can see I could never completely rid him of his ego."

"Anyway" he said purposefully returning to their story "after that we graduated and both went to college in Chicago.

I joined their basketball team, which eventually led to me getting recruited by the Knicks.

The rest you pretty much know.

We got married when we were both 24 and soon after we had you guys."

Looking down at the child in her lap Haley laughed "Nathan honey I think we're probably going to have to tell them this story again."

"Why?" he asked before looking down at his own lap where his daughter was snuggled against him.

"They fell asleep!" he said incredulously.

"Here we are telling them the story that they've been bugging us about for ages and what happens they fall asleep and don't even hear it."

He was doing his best to sound angry but Haley could hear the underlying mirth in his voice.

"Guess we better get them up to bed." He said gently scooping his daughter into his arms and heading towards the stairs.

Haley picked up her daughter's twin brother from her own lap and followed him. Placing them into their beds they stood back watching their exhausted seven year olds sleep.

Nathan slid his arms around her waist pulling her back against his body. "So kids are in bed. What say we do the same?"

"But Nathan I'm not tired." She said playfully.

"You will be when I'm finished with you." He promised with a smirk.

"Ooh that sounds like an interesting proposition. Let me just check on Josh and I'll be right with you."

Walking into the next room she stood over the bed of their 18-month-old son and felt a wave of absolute contentment wash over her. There was no doubt in her mind that she had the perfect life and there wasn't a thing that she would change given the chance. Nathan's voice broke into her thoughts.

"Hales what are you doing in there? Come on I thought tonight might be a good time to get started on Scott baby number Four."

A small smile crossed her lips at his words and she turned and walked quickly to their bedroom where Nathan was waiting for her.
