"Loving You Forever Part One"

I take a deep breath and gather my thoughts. I know that this is exactly what I want. I had been thinking about this for almost two months now. 40 days to be exact since that night with Nathan. After talking to Clark I let Nathan know that I would be living with Brooke and Luke for a while. He didn't really say anything, I packed my things up again and moved in with them. I never really saw him after that. I didn't purposely avoid him but I didn't go out of my way what so ever to see him. I knew I felt bad for what happened but I was also too scared and worried about what might happen if I went and talked to him.

I looked at the clock again to see what time it was. It was 5:25pm, I had only about 5 minutes until he would be home. I walked back into my room and grabbed the box and came back into the living room. I set it down on the couch but covered it with a pillow so he wouldn't see it until I wanted him to see to. I went into the kitchen to check on the dinner. It still had about 30 minutes left to cook. That should be perfect I thought. Any minute now he would be home.

As if on cue I heard the door knob turn and I knew it was him. I took a deep breath as walked into the living room to meet him at the door. "Haley?" He said as soon as he saw me. He was in shock, I knew he would be. He never expected to see me standing there in front of him. "What are you doing here?" he asked looking at me confused.

"Sit down Nathan, there's some things I want to tell you" I reply as I lead him to the couch and sit down next to him. "I know now Nathan that I was wrong. I shouldn't have done what I did. I want to apologize for that. For just taking off that day and then moving out. I just needed time and I hope you understand that. I needed to clear out my head and to work things out." I look at him, I can tell he is listening and trying hard to read me, to see where I am going with this.

"Nathan I talked to Clark, I explained everything that happened. About you and Michael, about our marriage in high school. How I left. I explained it all to him." I explained. "I'm glad Haley, you deserve each other." he finally states. I just look at him and shake my head. "No Nathan, we don't. He accepted my apology but it's not what I wanted. He even proposed again, but I turned him down. It was the right thing to do, it's what I wanted to do. But that was the very same day I left. After that I just needed to figure out what I was going to do next. I mean I wasn't engaged anymore to Clark. That was the thing that had been making my decisions for me since you came back into my life Nathan. I never made any decision when it came to us, it was always my head telling me what I needed to do and what I had to do but never what I wanted to do. But not anymore Nathan. It's not going to be like that anymore. Because Nathan I love you. I love you more then I have ever loved anyone. Even after all of these years apart. After falling in love with Clark I know in my heart that I love you more. That even if we aren't together that I won't stop loving you until the day that I die. Even if you don't accept my apology I will never stop loving you. And I just wanted you to know that." I finally took a breath. I had done it. I had told Nathan exactly how I felt. All I could do now was hope he would still feel the same way about me and that I hadn't lost my opportunity.

"Haley," he said looking at me. "Nathan if it's not how you feel it's ok. It truly is. I know I'm the one who screwed things up between us and that I deserve anything I get. I understand..." Nathan's lips crashed into mine stopping me from finishing my sentence. I realized this and kissed him back not wanting to ever stop. Finally I pulled away looking into Nathan's eyes. "Does that answer your question Haley?" he asked with that smirk I have always loved across his face.

I smile and kiss him again never wanting to stop. I can't believe that this is actually happening that I am yet again with Nathan. After all these years and everything that has happened to us. I pull apart and smile. "I love you Haley Scott." he says smiling. "And I love you too Nathan Scott."

He leans in for another kiss put my hand out and stop him, "hold on one second there Scott, I've got one more thing." I say as I turn around and grab the box from under the pillow. "Here, I want you to open this." I said as I hand him the box. "What is it Haley?" he asked me with a smile on his face from ear to ear. "You'll see in just a minute. Now open it." I reply giving him a quick kiss.

He quickly starts tearing off the paper from the box and lifted off the lid. He then pulls back the tissue from inside the box. I knew he saw it as soon as I see his face. I smile and hope that he is too. "Nathan I am truly sorry about everything I have put you though in the past 7 years since I have left. I have never once forgotten about you or what we have had even when I thought that is what I wanted. But now that there is nothing in our way. I love you and I know you love me I think it is the perfect time that I tell you." I said my smile growing every minute.

He slowly lifts the contents out of the box and looks at it, running his fingers along it. He then looks at me and kisses me, a smile never leaving his face. "Are you sure?" he asks. I nod knowing that is exactly what he wanted to hear. " I love you so much Haley" he says yet again kissing me another time. "How long?" he asks. "40 days," I reply, "to be exact." I love you Haley," he starts to smile and places his hand on my stomach, "and I love you too Baby Scott." he says and then kisses my stomach.

"When did you find out?" he asks. "I just found out last week, I thought it was stress and everything that had been going on but then once I started to feel sick Brooke made me go in, and that's when I found out. I want this Nathan, I truly do." I reply as I kiss his hand that is still on my stomach. "I do to Haley, and to think in less than 9 months we are going to have another baby." he replied. "They left enough room on there for the name in front of Scott, and for the birthday below it but I knew that a baby blanket would be the perfect way to tell you. And yellow works for either a boy or a girl." I explain. "It's perfect Haley." he replies kissing me.

"Now there is only one thing that is missing," he says as he gets up and goes towards his room. I each in to my pocket and pull out the small velvet box that I know so well, and wait for him to return. "You still have it I see," he says once he comes back. "Of course I still have it, do you?" I ask him. "Right here." he says pointing to the similar box in his hand. He removes the box from my hand and takes the ring out it and slips it on to my finger. "I will love you forever Haley." he says as he slips it on. "And I love you Nathan." I reply as I slip his ring onto his finger. "Now only one more thing." he replies as he takes another box out of his pocket. "All these years I felt bad for never giving you an engagement ring. I know you said that you didn't care about it but I always did. I felt that my wife should have one, so I got this for you." he explained as he opens up the box to reveal a gold band with a white diamond in the center. It was simple and elegant. "It's perfect Nathan!" I said as he removes my other ring, slips it on and slips the wedding band back on my finger.

"The white diamond represents April for Michael and once this Scott enters the world I want to add on another stone on the other side. And there is room for any other Scotts we may decide to bring into the world but it represents our life together and everything wonderful that we have created." he explains.

A tear slips down my cheek as I kiss Nathan. He uses his thumb to wipe away the tear and kisses me again. "I love you Mrs Scott!" he says as he kisses me.

Ok so one Chapter Left!!!

I did end up finishing this tonight and I know it's not that long but it needed to stop here it was too perfect to touch anymore.
