Chapter 11:The Perfect Couple
A/N; The next few chapters are going to be basically videotapes of everyone for the two new babies coming.
Again, I don't own them, but it would be nice of you to read and review some more!
Nathan walked into the room with the videotape and sat down, and started talking.
"Hey. For one of you, I'm your dad, and the other, I'm Uncle Nate," he paused, then started laughing, "which obviously you all knew. Figuring this is in 16 years, I guess you're all old enough to hear the history in the Scott family. My dad, Dan Scott was a basketball legend in high school. He had the perfect skills, and the perfect girlfriend, Karen Roe. When college came, confessions came, too-which with them were, "I'm leaving Tree Hill to play college ball," and an "I'm pregnant." My dad still left, meeting another girl, Deborah Lee, and knowing my dad-the overachiever-he got her pregnant, too. That's my mom. Karen had your Uncle Lucas, and Deb had me. Your uncle and I grew up to hate each other, and when he joined the basketball team in junior year," Nathan paused, "I hated him even more. I had to bring him down. When nothing worked, I had a backup plan. Get Haley James, his best friend, take her away, and break her heart," Nathan chuckled, "Look how that turned out. I ended up falling head over heels in love with her, your mom, or your Aunt. We got married in the middle of junior year, only to have problems arise, and a man by the name of Chris Keller coming into the picture. He was hot for her, and told her she had talent-which she did, and got her to go on tour. For 3 months..I was heart broken, lonely, bitter and depressed. And just my luck, Dan went to her giving her annulment papers, after I told him I didn't want an annulment. She came back the day before I was to leave. My dad was in a fire. It was…crazy. When I came back- I found her pregnant, with your sister, or cousin-Michelle. She's," Nathan pauses to think, "Almost 26 by now…And I'm 43. Wow."
Nathan paused, "Haley and I had a lot of things to work out, but we always managed our way through it. I can honestly say that you guys can look towards us right now and see us just as in love as we were the day we were married. As for Lucas and Brooke-I can only hope by now-they've even got over each other, or happy together. I'm rooting for the second."
"We discussed before I came up, what to talk about. We agreed to talk about, part of our history-to cause the kids, love and a lesson learned. Before I walked into the room, we picked something out of a hat. Thanks Brooke," Nathan laughed.
"As for love. Love is…never wanting to not be near a person, when you get older, to want to make a new life with that person. Love is trust. And when you get love, it's wonderful."
"My pick out of the hat is," he pauses to open it, "Top ten moments of pure happiness. Okay, ready. These aren't in order. 1: When Haley and I first told each other about our love. 2: When Haley and I got married. 3: When she came home. 4: When Michelle was born. 5: Nathan Jr was born. 6: Danny was born. 7 : When Haley told me she was pregnant again. 8: When Lucas and I first became "brothers". 9: When I hear my kids tell me that thy love me, and 10: my future with Haley, and my kids."
"You two are born into a wonderful family, who's screwed up, but love each other very, very much. And when you watch this I hope you aren't pregnant, or married," Nathan paused, "Not that it's the wrong thing to do, but…you're kids, and I don't want you to do that. I hope we made your life as fun as we could have. And I love you guys. I might not know you yet, but…I already love you guys…a lot."
"Hey, Mommy, Aunt Haley, Hales, Haley, Tutorgirl, here, whatever you call me 16 years from now. I guess you guys are born into a confusing family. I was, too. I was born with a whole bunch of brothers and sisters who were all different, and parents who were so in love it was sickening to me at the time. Right now, I'm just as in love as they are, maybe even more. Um, I guess that by the year 2030-Nathan and I are still having people doubt us. But, we were always doubted-even from the beginning. He was Mr. Hot Shot Basketball Star and he was popular, had girlfriends up the wazoo. I was Ms. Tutorgirl, best friend of Lucas Scott-Nathan Scott's enemy. He wanted to get to Lucas and I fell for his charm," Haley paused. "Then Lucas made some crappy decisions, and Nathan was there to help me through the fights Luke and I had. Only to admit he went for me for the wrong reasons. When he admitted that he did, but he didn't regret it-I fell in love. Then, we got married. More doubts, a bunch of 16 year olds getting married, but she isn't pregnant? Then-I went on tour, and returned to school with a baby. More doubts. Nate and I worked through everything, though."
"When you love someone, and I mean truly love someone" Haley said softly, "It doesn't matter how long you don't have sex for, or how much time you spend with your friends, because you can forgive each other anything. Nate and I had a lot of hard times, one-actually two of which just passed. Your dad, uncle was just accused of being the father of another woman's baby. And me, not only having some trust issues, considering how big of a player he used to be, was pregnant. So-I was 10 times more hormonal. I kicked him out and called Lucas to be there for me. Nate thought Luke and I had an affair. Under all of that stress, I passed out, bleeding. I almost died right along with the baby. But- like Naley always does," she paused and giggled, "We made it."
"Love is when you can't breathe when you're around somebody, and when you're not-you want to be," Haley paused remembering the all-familiar words.
"And for the name out of the hat-or word or whatever," she paused opening a piece of paper, "Trust," she whispered.
"Trust is something that only people close to you gain. It can't be gained for a while, and it's something someone earns."
"I love you guys so, so much. I can't wait to make your future as amazing as it can be."
