So this is the last chapter. Hope you like it. Leave me some words. Enjoy. :D Katy
Chapter 14"Why didn't you just tell me right away, Peyton?" Jake asked as his wife rejoined him in the back of the café.
"I had my reasons," she replied.
"Are you going to tell me?" he asked.
"You're going to think I'm stupid," Peyton replied.
"Peyton, come on. You know I would never think you were stupid. Would you just tell me what it was that was so huge that you didn' t tell me you were pregnant?" Jake exploded.
"I was scared!" she exclaimed.
"Scared?" he repeated.
"Yes, scared! I was scared about what we were going to do. We barely make enough money to support Jenny, how are we going to handle another baby? And would we survive it? Lots of couples have problems when children enter the equation and I know that we already have one but Jenny is what brought us closer together. I was scared that this pregnancy might tear us apart. And I wondered what I was going to do about school. Am I going to have to repeat tenth grade again?" she exploded.
"I had no idea," he said.
"Well, now you do. It had nothing to do with not loving you or not wanting this baby, blah, blah, blah," Peyton said.
"Peyton," Jake started.
"Peyton lost her spine for a while, freaked out and that's why she didn't tell you about the baby," she said, actually switching into the third person. Jake started chuckling. Peyton stopped her rambling and glared at him.
"And what the hell is so damn funny?" she demanded.
"You," Jake replied in between giggles.
"Huh?" Peyton asked.
"Taking in the third person is something you did when you were pregnant with Jenny. It was one of those weird quircks you had just when you were pregnant," Jake said.
"What's your point?" Peyton demanded.
"I think it's absolutely adorable," Jake said as he came over and kissed her. Peyton pulled away.
"So does this mean you forgive me?" she asked.
"For losing your spine?" he asked. She glared at him warningly and he quickly said, "Of course."
"So when we decided to go out to eat after court, I thought we were actually going to eat together," Nathan said as Haley opened her apartment door to him about twenty minutes after she left the café. He shrugged and said, "My mistake."
"I'm sorry for ditching you the way I did," she said as they sat down on the couch together.
"Mind telling me why you left?" he asked. Haley sighed as she shook her head.
"I really don't know why I reacted the way I did. Peyton had finished telling me something and she lied about part of it. I got angry and snapped at her and then I left. I overreacted," Haley said brokenly.
"Yeah, I know. Peyotn told me what happened and I know why you left," Nathan said.
"What, can you read minds now?" she asked.
"No, I'm insightful," he said.
"Huh?" she asked.
"Well, if I could read minds, then I wouldn't know why you left since you say you're not sure why," Nathan said.
"All right. Enlighten me, know-it-all. Tell me why I left," Haley said, leaning back and glancing at him in skeptical amusement.
"Well, I don't know the technical term for it since I'm not a shrink but I think it's like transference or something," Nathan said. Haley looked at him in confusion. "Tim's trial has let loose all the baggage you've been carrying around from Doug's trial."
"What does that have to do with Peyton?" Haley asked.
"Well, she lied to you and Doug's ex-wife lied to you and you were channeling your anger at her and directing it at Peyton," he said.
"Can't manage grade ten chemistry but you figured all that out?" Haley teased.
"We all have different strengths," Nathan reminded her.
"Psychology is not one of your strengths. I would have noticed after three and a half months of dating," Haley said.
"No, but knowing how to read people is one of my strengths. You learn a lot in my position," Nathan said.
"And what position are you in?" Haley asked.
"Well, you might have noticed that your boyfriend is a very popular guy and that requires me to know a bit about the people around me," Nathan said.
"Let's agree to disagree on that," Haley said.
"I am popular," Nathan said.
"In your head, maybe," Haley shot back. Nathan raised his eyebrows and started tickling her.
"I'm sorry, what was that?" he asked as she giggled helplessly.
"Stop tickling me!" she exclaimed, trying to wriggle away from him but it was no use. He had her lying on the couch as he spread himself over her allowing himself better acess to tickle her in her more vulnerable places. She was trapped.
"Admit that I'm popular. I know you don't like to admit that there actually is such a thing as popular and unpopular but if you want to be able to get up again, you might want to reconsider," he said. Haley thought about giving in but her ego refused to allow her to conceed.
Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his lips onto hers. Nathan stopped tickling her instantly and responded. Haley opened her mouth and Nathan instantly deepend the kiss as he shoved his tongue into her mouth and started exploring the inner crevices. Then their tongues started dancing with one another.
Nathan slid his arm up Haley's shirt and ran his hand along the smooth skin of her back. He broke the kiss and started trailing small kisses down her face and onto her neck and he lingered there for a minute. Haley smiled and pulled his mouth back to hers as she started a little exploration of her own.
She unhooked one arm from around his neck and slid it under the front of his shirt. She put her hand to his chest and traced the outline of his nipple and then moved down to his abs. After a while, Nathan pulled away and looked at him.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"We need to stop," he replied starting to get up and pushing her hand away from him. Haley hooked both her arms around his stomach and pulled him back down against her.
"Why do we need to stop?" she asked, smirking. Nathan froze once he gathered her meaning. He then stared down at her and he made no attempt to hide the desire blazing in his eyes.
"Are you sure?" he asked as she helped him take his shirt off.
"Yes," she replied quickly.
"Haley, I'm serious. You need to be absolutely certain," he said.
"You're trying to talk me out of having sex? This has got to be a first," Haley said and chuckled.
"I'm thinking about you here. Once you do this, you can never back," he said. Haley kissed him deeply with all the passion and desire she was feeling.
"I don't want to go back, Nathan. I want to go forward and I want to do it with you," she said against his lips.
"Okay," he said. He scooped her up off the couch, continued kissing her and the next thing she knew, he was laying her down on her bed.
Clothes were discarded, thrown all around the room. Nathan smiled as he looked her over. "Beautiful," he murmured as he kissed her again.
He left her mouth and began trailing kisses down her neck. Haley gasped as his mouth grazed her nipple. He held it between his teeth and sucked at it. Haley let out a soft moan as he moved to the other one and repeated the action.
Haley pulled him away and kissed him. She managed to roll them over so she was on top. She leaned down and kissed his chest deciding that pleasure was a two-way streak. Nathan groaned as her kissed neared the waistband of his boxers. He flipped her over and started kissing her again.
Haley smiled against his lips in delight. She was nowhere near Nathan's league especially since she had no experience whatsoever but she could still provoke such a reaction from him. Nathan pulled away for a minute. He got off the bed and looked for his jeans. He picked them up and grabbed a condom from inside one of the pockets. He removed his boxers and slid the condom on.
He rejoined Haley on the bed and smiled at her assuringly. Haley nodded and her eyes widened in feminine shock as he entered her. She cried out in pain but Nathan covered her mouth with his own.
His kiss was almost like an apology for the pain she was feeling as he pounded into her again and again. The pain subsided and she was overcome with pleasure that kept on building until eventually they exploded together.
Nathan collapsed onto her and they laid wrapped in each other's arms, still joined as if they were one, for a few minutes. Nathan tightened his arms around her, kissed her, pulled out of her and rolled onto his back beside her.
He turned to look at her and she smiled at him. He extended his arm. "Come here," he said. She moved over and laid her head against his chest as his arm closed over her. Haley laid her right arm across his stomach and let out a small sigh.
"Wow," she said. Nathan chuckled beneath her.
"Thanks," he said. Haley rolled her eyes.
"You're welcome," she said sarcastically. Nathan's arm tightened.
"I wasn't just talking about that, Haley. You were amazing," he said.
She raised her head about an inch to look at him. He was smiling at her. "It was perfect," she said as she kissed him.
"Agreed," he said.
"I love you," Haley said.
"I love you too," Nathan said and they drifted off to sleep in each other's arms.
2 months later…
Since the time capsule had been released, the students were asked to refilm their capsules. Haley walked in and sat down in front of the camera with a huge smile on her face.She took a deep breath and began.
"So I'm Haley James. I'm a sophmore at Tree Hill High. I'm a tutor. And I'm an orphan. But more importantly, I'm finally happy. And it's because of an amazing guy named Nathan Scott. Our relationship may last and it might not but either way, I'll know what it feels like to truly be in love. That's more than some people ever get in their lives."
Nathan walked into the classroom. He came over to her. "I'm done," she said.
"Yeah, it's my turn now," he said.
"Ok," she said. He pushed record on he camera as he kissed her goodbye and then glanced back at the camera.
"So I'm Nathan Scott. I'm a sophmore and a basketball player on the senior team. I have no idea where I'm going with my life. I hope I'm going to continue to play b-ball but after the past few months, I've learned that nothing is set in stone." He paused as he glanced back at the door that Haley had walked out of not moments before.
"That was my girlfriend, Haley. We've been dating for about five months now and we got together after the school shooting. It's funny. Before I met Haley, I thought I knew what true love was. I thought I had it but I was wrong. What Haley and I have is true love and here's one thing I know for sure: I'm going to marry that girl one day."
He smiled and shut off the camera and walked out of the room to meet Haley at lunch. They were eating with Jake, Peyton, Brooke and Lucas.
The End
