"Haley what's wrong?" Nathan asked coming up behind her. Nathan went to go get coffee while Haley went to talk to the doctor. When he came back hr found Haley in the door way with doctors and nurses going into the room.
"I don't know I...I was talking to the doctor and he said my dad was doing ok and he might wake up soon and then a nurse came down and the doctor was needed in there." Haley said with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Don't worry Hales, its probably something good."
"Excuse me, Haley?" Dr Hannagin said coming out of her dad's room. "Someone wants to talk to you." he said with a smile.
"Dad?" Haley whispered.
"Hales do you want me to stay out here or come in with you? Nathan asked.
"Please can you come in with me? I don't want to do this along."
"Then you wont have to." Nathan said taking her hand as they walked into the room.
"Daddy?" Haley said quietly.
"Hey baby girl" he replied.
Haley then let go of Nathan's and went to hung her dad.
"I was so scared. I was afraid you wouldn't wake up." Haley cried.
"And miss my daughter's birthday? Never! Happy birthday Hales."
"Oh my god! Its my birthday! I completely forgot!"
"Hales? Are you going to introduce me to your friend?"
"Oh yea, dad this is my boyfriend Nathan Scott. Nate this is my dad, Jimmy James."
"Nice to meet you Mr. James."
"You too Nathan, and please call me Jimmy."
"Ah Hales, I'm gonna go to the hotel and check in." Nathan said to Haley. "I'll be back later."
"Ok. Bye Nate." Haley replied.
"Call me if you need anything. Happy birthday babe." he said kissing her forehead before walking out of the hospital.
After checking into the hotel and calling Karen to let her know Haley's dad was ok, he got into the car and drove to the place where he went to school. When he got there he went down to his dorm room, where he found his room mate, Kyle Jones.
"Hey Nate! You finally decided to come back?" Kyle laughed.
"No. Actually I've come to get my stuff. I'm going back to Tree Hill."
"What? I thought you hated that place?"
"No I hate my dad. Tree Hill is great. I want to spend my senior year with my mom, brother, friends and Haley."
"Haley who's she?"
"My girlfriend."
"Girlfriend! Ha! That's funny, you with a girlfriend." Kyle laughed.
"That might have been true, before I met Haley." Nathan replied.
"Ok dude, well I guess I'll see ya."
"Yea." Nathan said as Kyle walked out of the room.
Nathan packed all of his things and brought it back to the hotel. When he got back to the hotel he decided to stay and let Haley spend a little more time with her dad. Nathan was sitting In the hotel room watching ESPN when he got a phone call from Haley.
"Hey babe." Nathan said into the phone.
"He Nate, where are you?"
"The hotel."
"Oh, well my dad is asleep, soo.."
"Do you want me to come hang out with you, or pick you up or what?"
"Cant you come pick me up?"
"Yea I'll be there in a little while."
It was about a week later and Haley's dad was doing a lot better. Nathan still hadn't told anyone he was going to Tree Hill High for his senior year. It was there last dad in Connecticut and Nathan and Haley were packing there stuff.
"Hey Nate, why do you have more bags now?" Haley asked seeing him with more bags then when they came
"Well I was gonna wait to tell you this but I used to go to school up here but next year I plan on going to Tree Hill High." Nathan said.
"You mean you're staying in Tree Hill?" Haley said excitedly.
"Yea I want to spend my senior year with Luke, my mom, my friend and you." Nathan said the last part quietly, but just loud enough for her to hear it.
"I want to spend my senior year with you too." Haley smile causing Nathan to pull her in to his arms.
"Hales can you do me a favor and not tell anyone about this, I want to surprise them."
"Sure." Haley replied happily.
