"It's about time you got you hot little ass over here," Ashley said answering the door. She was grinning, extremely happy, which made Nathan grin back.

"I missed you Ash." He said. She let him in; as soon as the door was shut she was in his arms. Kissing him all over.

"Oh Nathan, sorry I overreacted. My hormones are all whacked out." She said barely coming up for air. He gently slid away from her, and plopped down on the chair in her room. "What's the matter? Your not mad are you?"

"Ashley, we need to talk." He said. She came over and sat on his lap.

"All I want to talk about right now is you and I. Nathan, I have some news."

"Wait, let me go first."

"There's more than just a daughter?" She asked shocked. He didn't ever know if they fell in love because it was meant to happen or if they just fit. She was the President of her sorority and he had been the President of his. She loved basketball, and always supported his need and love of the game. There was never a power struggle and they just seemed to match. Unlike him and Haley. Haley and him, he was coming quick to learn, they had true undying passion and love for one another. A love that he had never felt until the day he first kissed her. So now when Ashley kissed him he felt passion, but not the love he felt behind Haley's kisses.

"Yes, there's a lot I found out when I came to town."

"Does this have to do with that bogus story about amnesia? You have to let that go, you never had amnesia." She never believed his story, which made him push it deeper and deeper into the back of my mind.

"I did have amnesia. And I remembered a lot when I came back to town."

"Like a daughter?"

"No Haley never told me about her."

"Who's Haley? I assumed that her mom was Peyton. Or did you not date her all through high school like you told me?"

"Look Peyton and I broke up my junior year and Haley was my tutor. I began dating her, and we fell in love. We got married." Ashley stood up and giggled.

"No way would YOUR parents allowed you to get married in high school." She continued laughing, not believing his story.

"They didn't have to. I was emancipated from them during my junior year."

"No way, you and your parents have like the perfect relationship. What lies did this girl feed you?"

"They aren't lies. My parents have been drugging me for five years, convincing me of this other life." She stopped laughing and looked at him like he was crazy. "Well she and I fell deeply in love, and the day we had our second wedding I died. Or at least that's what she thought. My dad, being the Mayor, paid the police to lie to my wife and let her believe that I was dead. They took me away and have been drugging me ever since."

"If that's true Nate, then tell me why would they let you come back to town?"

"That's the thing, they didn't know I decided to come home. I wanted to see my brother and friends. They were shocked to see me." She sat on the bed and just stared at him.

"Nathan, this is all too much."

"You're telling me."

"So how long until the divorce is final?"

"I don't know if I'm getting one." He said honestly. Her eyes widened and then tears began whaeling up in them.

"What about us?"

"I've missed so much of Kiley's life, and if I get a divorce than I'll barely see her." He left out the part about loving Haley.

"So that's it. We're done?"

"Yea, I guess." He walked to the bed and put his arms around her.

"Get out."

"What?"

"You heard me, GET OUT!" She stood and went to the bathroom. He took her lead and left the room. He wanted to forget this and get back to his family.

He stopped to pick up flowers before he went home. Haley was cooking dinner when he walked through the door. "MMM, that smells good." He said wrapping his arms around her waist. She leaned into him and took a deep breath.

"What happened?" She asked holding the breath.

"We're done."

"I'm so sorry Nathan." She said genuinely turning around.

"Why?"

"Because you loved her."

"I thought I loved her. I couldn't remember what true love felt like."

"Oh Nathan." She said standing on her tippy toes to kiss him.

"Where's Kiley?"

"With Karen. She couldn't leave her best friends side in his time of need." Haley said laughing. "She's too much like you." They said at the same time. Which made them laugh even harder.

After dinner was over they started to make their way into the living room for movies, but there was a knock at the door. Haley jumped up to answer it.

"Hi, can I help you?" Haley asked the blonde standing at the door.

"Um, you must be Haley."

"Yea…"

"I'm Ashley."

"Oh, Ashley. You want to come in?"

"Please. I have to talk to Nathan." Haley stood back and let her enter the house.

"He's in the living room. Follow me." When Nathan saw Ashley he jumped up off the couch.

"I'm really sorry to bust in like this…"

"What are you doing here Ash?" He asked her.

"I'll leave you two alone." Haley said.

"No, Haley. You should hear this." Ashley said.

"Ok…"

"Nathan, I had news today when you came over."

"Yea, but you never told me." He told her.

"I know. Your news was just shocking and I forgot all about mine." Her eyes were blood shot from crying.

"So what is it?" He persisted trying to get her to hurry.

"I'm sorry this is so hard…" She said pacing the room. "I'm…I'm…"

"Your what?"

"Pregnant."
