"You Made Your Bed, Now Lye in it"

They Call it Lost And Found for A Reason

Written By: Cadium K. Walker

Once again Nathan explained the whole situation with Haley, but this time to Brooke. And Just like she thought she would be Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer Jagielski was right.

"Nathan, I love my sister so much. And I'm always there for her, and I always will be. But Nate you made a decision seven years ago. You didn't sign the papers. And now you have to deal with that. She's my every thing and when you but those papers under you mattress six years ago. You choice was to keep her as your everything. You made your bed Nate and now you have to lye in it. But I'm not saying that I won't be there to help and visit. So, I guess I'll see you soon."

"Yea, Oh and Peyton, her, Jake and Jenny are coming. When I talked to Peyton she said, she was going to call Luke too. So this should be good. Yea know to see every one again."

"Yea, so I'll talk to yea?

"Yea, bye." Nathan was now totally frustrated. But deep down, he knew that Brooke was right. But his pride would never admit it. So he decided to go back to the hospital and spend time with Haley. On his was down he turned the radio on.

"And were beck. This is Joey and hear is Billy Gillman's new song- As Sung By Charlotte." The song started to play.

"FUCK!" he had forgotten about Charlotte. Did she come with Haley; was she on the streets of New York looking for her mother, since yesterday? "Oh God! Oh God! Oh God!" All he could think of doing was rushing to the hospital to ask Haley where she was.

He ran into the hospital as fast as his legs could take him, but to Nathan's dismay it was not fast enough. Although eventually, he made it there, to her room.

"Hales?" He called out to her as he walked into the room. Haley was pretty out of it, but hearing him call her hales made her feel like Nathan still loved her.

"Yea, Nate, I'm right here." Her voice was shaky from the butterflies in her stomach. And then she had an epiphany, this was her husband.

"Hey, I was driving back over hear and I remembered that Charlotte didn't come with us here yesterday." The concerned tone he spoke in gave Haley the most genuine smile. He really sounded like her cared about her, but who's to say he didn't?

"Oh yea, she's with my manager jimmy. He'll watch her, Jimmy's like her uncle." She said with a laugh.

"Oh that's good. I just didn't know if she came with you or what. But Now that she's ok, I was thinking that maybe we could talk?" He stated it almost as a question, as if to test the water. "Maybe about life….and Charlotte."

"Of course, ask any me any thing you want." She tried to suppress the ecstatic feeling she had that Nathan wanted to know about his daughter.

"OK, what is her whole name? and why did you choose them?" Nathan thought that he should start at the beginning. He had so many questions.

"Her name is Charlotte Natalie Scott. Charlotte, because I have always loved that name, and Natalie, because it was the grisliest version of Nathan I could think of when I was drugged up on Demerol, and when through 15 and a half hours of labor. And might I add that they were not my finest moments." They both chuckled.

"Why did you do that? I mean you don't tell me I have a daughter but you name her after me and give her my last name." He didn't want to sound cruel but it still bothered him that Haley never told him.

"Well, when I thought about it made sense, and it still does. She's your daughter, and I thought that if she was named after you than she would always have a piece of you with her." Haley turned he head away, so Nathan couldn't see the tear casually roll down her cheek. And so he couldn't see her eyes. He always had know what she was thinking when he looked at her eyes, and figured he wouldn't have lost that talent. Although little did she know, she was unsuccessful at both.

Nathan looked into her soft chocolate brown eyes and saw how guilt ridden they were. Nathan could understand what she was thinking when she left. He didn't agree with it but he understood. Nor, did he forgive her but he thought that maybe he should try. He knew that they should especially, since he decided that he wanted to be in Charlotte's life. Since he decided he wanted to be a dad.

A/N: hey every one sorry the last chapter sucked! And I'm sorry Nathan'smanna: mid-terms and my period isn't a good combo. But that's not an excuse so I do apologies. But I hope this is better. The only reviews I have been getting are: great story and can't wait to read more! But that doesn't really tell me what you guys want to happen….so maybe if you could give me a little direction on what you want…because I really just want to make you guys happy

Love
