A/N: So I just realized that I only posted the first 6 chapters of this story on this website. I have a few more left to put up; I'll do it if I get some reviews.

Chapter 7: I'll be Home for Christmas

"Did you buy your mom a present for Christmas yet?" Nathan asked Nathalie as they walked along the streets of New York City.

"I don't know what she wants," Nathalie answered. She and Nathan had separated from the group who decided to stop at TRL.

"Then why don't we get her something now, what does she like?"

"She likes candy," Nathalie said.

"Do you want to get her chocolate, the big Hershey's Store is right over there," Nathan said while pointing to the building that held the Hershey chocolate store.

"Okay, mommy loves it in there, did you get her a present?"

"Not yet, but we can go find a present from me after we get one from you."

"Okay, did you get a present for me?"

"I'm not telling you, you have to wait until Christmas."

"Why? Will you be here on Christmas?" Nathalie asked hopefully.

"No, I'll be back visiting my family, but I'll give you your present before I leave."

"I want to spend Christmas with you," she said, slightly saddened.

"I'll make it up to you, I promise. Now let's go get some presents," he said, picking her up and going into the store. They ended up buying a few boxes of chocolate for Haley, and a few for themselves too. When they were done they went to the jewelry district because Nathan wanted to buy Haley a necklace.

"I like this one," Nathalie said, pointing to a beautiful necklace in the display case of the store.

"That is pretty; do you think mommy will like it?" Nathan asked. It looked perfect. It was a locket in the shape of a heart that had three small diamonds down the front.

"She'll love it," Nathalie replied. Nathan got a clerk from the store to get it out. Nathan had it engraved on the back. It read, 'I love you now and forever'. Nathan hoped she would like it. They walked out of the store and into Nathan's car, and they headed back to the hotel. When they got back it was six o'clock. They went up to the penthouse where Haley was sitting on the couch watching television.

"Hey guys, how was shopping?" she asked as they walked over and sat down with her.

"It was good, Peyton and Brooke wanted to go to TRL so we left them a little while ago and went out on our own," Nathan replied.

"Daddy bought me toys and candy and we got Christmas presents too. He said that he won't be here for Christmas but he's gonna make it up to me because I was sad and I want to spend it with him and you," Nathalie rambled on.

"Why don't you go color for a little bit and then we can go out for dinner," Haley told Nathalie.

"Okay, is daddy coming too?"

"If he wants to he can," Haley said, looking at Nathan. He nodded at her.

"Sure, I'll go, now go color so I can talk to your mom." Nathalie walked out of the room and Haley scooted closer to Nathan.

"Thanks for taking her; the fashion show was even boring for me."

"It was no problem, she was great and we both got some shopping done for Christmas."

"About Christmas, I think I'll go with you."

"Really?" Nathan asked.

"Yeah, Nathalie wants to be with you, and I want to see Karen. I'm not so sure about seeing your parents though."

"Actually, they like you a lot better now. They started liking you right after you left."

"What a coincidence," Haley said sarcastically, "the reason they didn't like me was because I was holding you back so of course they liked me better."

"Well they don't matter anyways. I'm so glad you're coming; we can stay just the three of us at the beach house. I was going to be staying there alone, but it gets so lonely out there."

"Yeah, so about dinner; do you want to go to Ellen's Stardust Diner?" Haley asked.

"I don't care where we go as long as I'm with you and Nathalie," he said and she leaned up and gave him a soft but passionate kiss.

"It's great; it's Nathalie and my favorite place. It's a diner that is fifties style and the wait staff sing and dance."

"Sounds good, when do you want to go?"

"In a little while, after we finish this," she said kissing him again.

"What…about…Nathalie?" he said between kisses. Haley pulled away.

"We're not doing anything that bad just kissing, plus she'll stay in her room until someone goes and gets her out."

"Okay, now where were we?" he asked slyly.

"Right about here," she replied and the kissed again.

A/N: Review if you're still reading and I'll post another chapter in a few days. I believe I have about 13 written from a while back.
