ok on with the story:
Chapter 1 :
It was 4:00 in the morning. Haley woke up to the sound of an infant crying. 'Shannon' she thought as she got out of the bed and walked into the babies room.
"awww poor thing, how did you manage to do that?" Haley asked as she walked over to see the baby had pulled her plastic hanging toy (I don't know what the thing that hangs on the crib over the babies that Peyton tied her keys to...sorry.) That was supposed to be attached to the crib on top of her. She wasn't quite strong enough to lift it up off of her. Haley gently picked the toy up off of Shannon and hooked it back onto the crib. The baby continued to whimper lightly. Haley picked her up and walked over to the rocking chair humming the baby back to sleep.
Nathan woke up to the sound of someone humming he looked at the clock 7 minutes after 4 a.m. 'crap, she's had to do it again.' He hated it when Haley got up to take care of his baby. Not that she did a bad job or he didn't trust her, it just make him feel like a bad father when someone other than him took care of Shannon. It was his responsibility. It was also his ex's but she split after Shannon turned a month old. He pushed himself up out of bed and walked into the adjoining room to see Haley sitting in the rocking chair with his daughter in her arms. he loved that sight. Haley had practically adopted Shannon after Emily left.
"You don't have to do that.. I would have gotten her." Nathan said making his presence known, and taking a couple extra steps into the room. Haley looked up and smiled. "I don't mind...it's probably a good thing I came in here when I did. She would have woken up the whole house.. that thing fell down on her." Haley said nodding her head at the toy hanging over the crib. "Whoever put it on there didn't snap it in place. She must have pulled it a little to hard.. probably scared her half to death." Haley said squeezing Shannon a little tighter unconsciously. Nathan panicked, "Is she ok? Is she bleeding?" He took two more steps toward Haley, but stopped walking when she raised her hand in a "halt" motion. "Nathan Scott, do you really think I'm stupid enough not to check? She's fine, and asleep so lower your voice." Haley didn't have a hard time shutting Nathan up. He stood there and watched her as she stood up and put Shannon in her crib yet again. Softly Setting her down, being really careful not to wake her. "You're not stupid, I'm sorry." Nathan said feeling bad about acting like that. He knew perfectly well that she could take care of Shannon, probably better than he could. Haley turned to face him after covering the baby up. "Don't worry about it, just your parental instincts kicking in." Haley turned and walked to the door. She turned around when she got there. "I'd get some sleep if I were you Nathan, you have a big game tomorrow." Nathan smiled, "Like I need rest, I can't lose with you cheering me on from the sidelines." They both said good night and went back to their bedrooms on either side of Shannon's. When Haley got back in the bed she was sharing with Brook, Brooked rolled over and said in a mocking Nathan voice..."Like I could lose with you cheering me on.." Haley hit her with a pillow. "shut up. He was just being nice." Brooked rolled her eyes. "Haley James you are way too naive, I've been trying to convince you he likes you just as much as you like him. if not more.." Haley rolled her eyes and turned over trying to ignore Brooke and get some sleep. But deep inside she knew she wished he did. She also knew she would fall asleep thinking about him tonight, just like she had for the past week.
Nathan smiled as he remembered everything he could about the way Haley was, the way she looked, the way she moved. He fell asleep thinking about what it would be like to have her in his arms. To fall asleep smelling her hair, feeling her heart beat, her smooth skin. Yes, it was safe to say, he was crazy about.
