I rubbed my eyes as I attempted to read some e-mail that I had. I was having trouble keeping my eyes open let alone trying to do some work. After Nathan has left I had continued to look through the box and remembering what I had at such a young age. I then remembered what I had brought with me for my desk. I stood up and grabbed my purse digging through it until I found the frames I was looking for. I had the picture of "The Gang" on prom night, and also the picture of Michael and I, and last was the last photo we ever took of Michael. It was taken just minutes before I had laid him down for his nap. He looked so happy, just smiling at the screen. Nathan was holding him and I had taken the photo. It was just one of the photos taken on that roll, we had taken a bunch for our scrapbook that I had been working on. That one was my favorite of Nathan and Michael.

I then grabbed the envelope marked Daddy and baby Michael and left my office. I knew they hadn't started practice yet and went to find Nathan. "Hey Sweetie," Clark greeted me. "Hey," I replied kissing him. "By chance have you seen Nathan?" I asked Clark. He looked at me for a moment with a confused look on his face, "I have something that I needed to give him." I replied reading his face. "Yeah he's just in the weight room." He replied kissing me again before I left for the weight room.

I opened the door and saw Nathan lifting some weights. "Don't work too hard," I joked. "Wouldn't want to be out all season now would you?" I asked. "Haha, funny Hales. Real funny." He replied sitting up and giving me his famous smirk. "Did ya need something?" he asked me. "Actually, these are for you." I said handing him the envelope. He took it and opened it pulling out the pictures. "I thought that maybe you would like them, I have copies." I replied. Nathan looked at me and smiled, he then hugged me. "Thanks Hales, that means a lot to me." He replied. "I don't have many pictures of him." "Yeah, after I left I realized I had taken all most all of the photos. Sorry about that." I replied. "Well thanks again." He replied.

"Hey again," I said coming up behind Clark and kissing him, what are you doing in here?" I asked him. When I had walked into my office I had found him behind my desk looking at something. "I was waiting for you." He replied. "Haley what's this?" he asked handing me the frame of us from High School. "Oh that," I replied. "I haven't seen it before." He added. "Yeah, I just set those up today." I replied. "Isn't that the Scott's?" he asked me looking at the photo again. "Yeah," I replied. "When was this taken?" he asked me. "That was taken on Prom night our senior year." I decided that whatever he asked I would answer truthfully, and then I would add details when I felt the time was right. "You knew Nathan in High School?" He asked. "Yep." I replied again. "Did you date?" he asked. "Yeah for a couple years actually." I replied. "Whose are all of these kids?" he asked me pointing to Jenny, Cody, and Michael. "Oh that's Cody," I said pointing to the baby Brooke was holding. "Wow he looks like Lucas even as a baby." He replied. "And that is a friend of mine, Peyton and Jake. And Peyton is holding Jake's daughter Jenny." I explained. "Who's baby are you holding?" he asked me referring to Michael. "That's Michael Scott, Nathan's son." I replied. I shuttered at the thought of just lying to Clark but I just couldn't seem to tell him that I had a son when I was only 17. "Nathan has a son?!" he asked me confused. "Had," I correct. "He had a son, Michael died about 2 weeks after that photo was taken." I explain trying to hold back tears. "What happened?" he asked me. "They just said he died of SID's, that's the only thing they could come up with." I replied wiping a tear from my cheek. "Why didn't you ever tell me?" he asked setting down the picture. "I don't know, it's hard to talk about and never seemed like a thing to bring up." 'Ok," he said kissing me. "See you at home."

The rest of the day really seemed to be a blur; I couldn't concentrate on anything, my eyes kept wondering to the picture of Michael and Nathan.

"This just came for you," Jane said as she handed me a brown envelope. "Thank you." I replied as she left. I looked it over; on the front it said Haley Scott. I opened it and took out the papers; I couldn't breath when I realized what they were. They were divorce papers from Nathan.

"Nathan what the Hell!" I screamed as he opened the door to his apartment. "Hales what are you doing here?" he asked me confused. "How did you get my address?" he asked. I pushed passed him and walked into his apartment. He just sighed and shut the door behind me following me to where I sat on his couch. "I looked at your files for your address," I replied. "But that's beside the point. What the hell is this!?" I start screaming again shoving the papers in his face. "What are you talking about Hales?" He asked me looking at what I had handed him. "Divorce papers!" I replied back. "What did you expect Haley? You're Engaged! What else were we suppose to do? You can't get married until you get divorced from me!" He replied.

"I realize that Nathan but you didn't see me until no more then 24 hours ago and you already have divorce papers drawn?!" I asked upset. "I asked my lawyer to draw them up as soon as I got home last night." "Why would you do that?" I asked him. "Hales all I want is for you to be happy, and if I can't make you happy I want you to be with someone that can make you happy." He explained getting up and hobbling to the kitchen. I stood up and followed him into the kitchen. "Nathan..." I started. "Haley I obviously couldn't make you happy, otherwise you wouldn't have left 7 years ago." He replied. "But Nathan that's not why I left." I replied. "Haley is still doesn't change that fact that you can't get married to Clark unless we are divorced so I thought I would help you out and get the papers. One less thing for you to have to worry about." He said as he handed me a cup of coffee and sat down next to me at the table.

"Nathan what have you been doing since we last talked? I asked hi taking a sip of my coffee. I looked at him and smiled, "you remembered." I said. "Of course," he replied. "One scoop of sugar and crème." He replied with a smile. "Well I took a shower and played some ball." He replied to my question. "Huh?" I asked confused. I smiled and playfully slapped him, "I mean since tree Hill, not since earlier today." I replied laughing. "Well you said last talked and that would be today when you gave me the pictures." He replied. "But since you left, well I just went to school and studied. Not much more then that, I played some ball and that's about it." He replied. "Are you dating?" I asked him hoping he wouldn't get mad at this question. "Nope, I haven't really dated since. I mean I went on a couple dates here and there but really never started another relationship." He replied. "Yeah, same with me. Other then Clark I never even dated until him." I answered.

"I talked to my mom today and told her that I saw you," he said. "Oh,' I replied not knowing what Deb had said to him. "She said you guys meet for lunch last week." He added. "Yeah she called and it was nice to see her again," I replied. "She was happy to see you again too Hales." He replied giving me a smile. "You know you are the only one that still calls me that." I replied smiling. "What? Hales?" he asked. "Yeah, not even Clark calls me that. Only you." I replied. "Well good, it's only reserved for the first husband." He said joking. "Well I'll have to let him now that." I replied playing along with him.

"Haley, would you like to watch a movie?" he asked me. "Um...sure." I replied wondering why he wanted to watch a movie. "I found this last night after I had come back from your place and well I didn't want to watch it without you." He explained as I sat on the couch in front of the TV. He went and put the tape in the player and sat down next to me. As we sat there Nathan's face came across the screen. He was smiling as big as he could get. I recognized the video. It was a home video Nathan had taken the day I came home from the hospital with Michael. I smiled as I saw myself holding a 3-day-old Michael in my arms. A tear ran down my face as I watch the video.
