Together Again
Chapter Nine
Lost and Found for a Reason
"Yea! God I've missed you so, so, so much Hales." Haley could fell the tears starting to well up in her eyes, so that when she blinked her eye lids started to stick together. God she hated to cry.
"I missed you too, Pey." Haley whispered into the phone. She could feel the hot salty tears starting to freely stream down her face. Not only was she crying because of Peyton, and how much she probably hurt her best friend by leaving, but also because of seeing Charlotte and Nathan together like that. She had wished that for Charlotte for so many years, and now her baby was able to have it.
"Hales, are you crying? Oh Hales, please don't cry." Peyton was trying to consol her friend. "Haley Ann James Scott," That was her breaking point, Haley went into full blown sobs on the phone with Peyton, in the middle of the restaurant, with people looking at her, and Charlotte starting to cry (Charlotte always started to cry when Haley cried, she claimed 'that seeing her mommy cry made her cry too.') but the worst of it was that now Nathan was watching her and, getting afraid. "If you cry than it will make it so much harder for me to bitch you out when I get to New York in two hours!"
"What! Oh god. Ok bye." Haley slammed the cover of her cell phone down, and buried her eyes into her palms. She knew from experience that these kind of sobs would not be able to be controlled they had to be waited out. Not only that but she felt like she was spinning……..a thousand feet in the air! 'oh god his can't be good'. Haley thought to her self.
Nathan looked at the sight in front of him Charlotte was crying clinging to her mothers waits, who was also crying. That's when he began to to here them. They were becoming more apparent, and louder now. The clicking and the murmurs. 'Is that Haley James?' Oh my word that's Nathan Scott' 'are they a family?' 'Is that their daughter?' He could here them now and see people rustling through there bags. Nathan started to see cameras flash. He whipped his head around to see that they were not only from the other customers but…..the paparazzi.
They needed to get out of there fast. He picked up Charlie and swung her around his hip, still sobbing as hard as her mother, and he lovingly persuaded Haley to stand up to leave. Nathan soon realized that she was not in a state to walk, Haley just kept swaying back and forth and stumbled on her feet.
Nathan walked to the bathroom, supporting Haley with one arm and holding Charlotte with the other. Finally in the bathroom of the small diner, he called a driver to pick the small family up in the back of the low key, New York City diner.
"Ok Haley. 'Common sit down here and hold Charlotte." Nathan said soothingly as he put her and her daughter on the counter. He easily got Haley purse loose from her grip and started rummaging through it to find his wife's pills. 'No! No! No! stop saying that Scott!'.
Nathan finally found Haley's antibiotics. He got Haley and Charlotte into the limousine, and even got them to stop their now light sniffling. He hated to see his two girls cry.
