"Haley what are you doing? It's three in the morning." Nathan walked out into the living room in a pair of plaid pajama pants, over to Haley. She had been sitting on floor in front of the switch on fire reminiscing. She carried it every where with her, the small cardboard box. Inside it held a couple of pictures she stole from the wedding wall, her wedding ring, and her cracker jack bracelet.

"Huh?" Haley quickly slipped the box under the couch she was leaning on, praying he hadn't notice, but she sees him rubbing his eyes out of exhaustion, so she assumes he didn't. "Oh, I was just thinking." Her eyes focus on the fire, she thinks. About everything.

"What about?" Nathan asks as he sits next to her. He watches her. She's so beautiful, the ambient light of the fire, casts a warm glow around her.

"Today, when we were in the market. I told you I would stay here with you but I don't know if I can do that. I'm thinking that maybe I should get a hotel room tomorrow." She watched Nathan as he got up, not saying anything to her. She could here his feet shuffling around in the kitchen, cabinet doors opening and closing, and clanking of bottles. He came back with a bottle, of what looked like whisky and two small glasses. Nathan proceeds to pour cool liquid in to the sparkling crystal glasses.

"Don't be so stingy." Haley told him with a laugh.

"When did you become a drinker?" Nathan inquired as he matched her with a light chuckle.

"Well, I think it was the lack of sex and a screaming child." Haley answered then downs her whisky in one shot which left Nathan gaping at the woman in front of him. He had never seen anyone down whisky like that.

"When was the last time you got laid." He figured, her being the gorgeous and famous women she was she was always getting offers, men shoving their numbers in her pockets, men gawking at her features and perfectly proportion; just thinking about it made his fists clench.

"It doesn't matter."

Thirty minutes later…and a few more drinks the couple was pretty wasted. Nathan lowered himself off the couch on to the floor were Haley was, after a few minutes of silence. He put his drink on the coffee table and lowered his head so it was level with her ear.

Out of the blue Haley could feel a cool breath on the back of her neck. She knew it was Nathan, but she honestly didn't know what to do, or how to react. Then she could feel Nathan gently nuzzling on ear lobe, he remembered.

Nathan moved his lips down now giving her neck proper treatment. He knew that this would leave marks in the morning, but it didn't matter. She was already his, no matter how many guys she's fucked over these years she would always be his. He pulled Haley on to his lap, still kissing her neck, could hear escape her mouth. She was now caressing his bare chest. Nathan let his hand run freely under Haley's cotton shorts, but soon moved it to a more comfortable position on the small of her back.

Haley couldn't take it anymore, the teasing was too much. She ran her fingernails up and entwined them in his shaggy raven hair. She pulled his face to hers and their lips met in a searing passionate kiss. It had so much more meaning than one would ever think a kiss would have. Nathan moved his hands from her back and was working on removing the plain white cotton shirt she wore. When he had, he stared at her. She was so beautiful.

"Nathan what are we doing?" Haley whispered in his ear.

"Where doing what married people Haley baby." And with that he picked her at the waist and brought her into his bedroom. After that only sounds of pleasure could be heard until morning.

Haley wakes up and quickly notices that she was pressed against a warm body, and both were naked. She turned to see Nathan lying next to her. She jumped, out of the bed grabbing a sheet from the bed with her.

"What the hell did we do! This is horrible! I'm such and idiot!" Do to Haley's not so quiet ranting Nathan had woken up.

"What the hell are you yelling about?" Nathan asked groggily as he turned pulling the thick duvet over his head.

"What am I yelling about! Nathan! Do you see what we did?" Haley asked pacing on the floor next to the bed, and throwing her hands around in the air.

"It's not a huge deal. So could you please stop screaming?"

"I can't do this. I'm sorry Nathan. God, I'm so, so sorry." Haley cried as she ran out of his bedroom still wrapped in the bed sheet.

"Haley!" Nathan yelled after her. He got out of the comfort of his bed, and unsuccessfully attempted to put on a pair of boxers. Finally he managed to put them on and get out of the room to chase after Haley.

When he reached the room Haley had been occupying for the past few days, she was getting dressed in a simple pair of faded jeans and a simple white tank top. Nathan could see a few tears starting to drip down her face.

"Hales what are you sorry for. Everything's fine." Actually in Nathan's eyes everything was wonderful. He loved Haley, and he had forgiven her for leaving a long time ago.

"No Nathan everything's not fine. I can't stay here with you. I have to leave."

"Not again, Haley. I won't let you leave me again. I- God, Haley I love you damn it! I got past you leaving the first time but I won't let you do it again." Haley tried feverishly to get out of the room but Nathan wouldn't have it. He grabbed on to her small body and would let go. Finally Haley gave in and cried on her husband's shoulder. For years she felt like she didn't deserve to call her soul mat that. But after his confession she swore to herself that she would always call him that. Nathan would always be Haley and Haley would always be Nathan's.

"Mommy why are you crying?" Charlotte asked as she walked into the bedroom clutching on to her favorite purple chenille bear.

"Oh baby. I'm crying cause I'm happy and because I love you!" Haley screamed as she continued to attack the little girls with tickles.

"Daddy… save… me!" Shrieked the little girl. Nathan couldn't help but join in with his daughter and wife.

"Come on Charlie get mommy!"

"OK! OK! OK! I give up." Haley surrendered due to the fact the she almost peed her pants. "Babe how bout you go get dressed and spent the day with Daddy? He can take you to the park and go shopping and everything. Mommy is going stay home and cook dinner because Aunt Bebe, Aunt Peyton, Uncle Jake, Uncle Luke and Jenny are coming over for dinner." The little girl agreed and skipped out of the room once again leaving the adults alone.

"I love you too, Nathan. I meant what I said on the beach that day." Haley said looking down at the feet.

"So you'll say?" Nathan inquired getting hopeful. The truth was he had dreamt about this: him and Haley getting together again and having a family.

"Always and forever."

Ok so tell me what you think. I was thinking about stopping there but if you guys want me to continue I will. So it inevitably come down to you reviewing.
