Chapter 8

Nathan has been sat by Haley's bedside for the last couple of days just holding her hand his mom tried to get him to leave but he couldn't he didn't want Haley to wake up without him there. Thankfully his mom and Lucas were looking after Angel he hated not being there for his daughter right now he knew she blamed herself for Haley being in this situation but it wasn't her fault, if only he had let Haley explain what happened when she came back they wouldn't be going through this right now.

Nathan couldn't get out of his head the last things he said to his wife, he didn't mean it he was just hurting he didn't really want a divorce he never did even before he knew the reason Haley was the love of his life and he never wanted to lose her, she was his life and not having her these last fifteen years broke him but know that she was back he's never losing her again.

Nathan didn't know what he and Angel would do if she never wakes up he didn't think his heart could take that, he needs Haley like he needs air he couldn't believe he lasted this long without her in his life. But one thing he was grateful for he had a daily reminder of Haley in their daughter. He knows Angel needs Haley in her life, to know what it's like to have a mom if Haley doesn't wake up it's going to destroy them and he couldn't even think about what it would do to his daughter Angel doesn't have any memory's of her mother and she needs them.

"Hi dad is there any change" Angel asked as she came in the room and sat in the chair opposite her dad.

"Not yet princess the doctors keep telling me she'll wake up in her own time" Nathan said as he rubbed his eyes he didn't like his daughter seeing him cry.

"Dad I know now how you felt when I was in the hospital when I was a kid its pure torture not knowing what going to happen" Angel said she was only a kid and couldn't really remember much but seeing her mom like this these last couple of days really made her think of what her dad went through.

"Princess it was hell you were my baby and you were hurt and I couldn't do anything to take the pain away. I would have done anything to trade places with you then just like I would now with your mom. I would give my life for my family" Nathan said as he hugged his daughter he knew how much all this was hurting her.

"Nathan you need to go home and get some rest before you collapse and Angel has both her parents in the hospital" Karen said as she came in the room.

"I can't mom I have to be here when Haley wakes up she has to know I love her mom I can't lose her not again" Nathan cried he knew he needed rest too but he couldn't leave her and he won't.

"Nathan at least go home and shower and change your clothes if there's any change Angel and I will phone you" Karen said as she hugged her son it broke her heart to see the pain he was going through if Dan wasn't already dead she'd kill him for the hurt and pain he caused her family. She couldn't believe it when Nathan told her what Dan did to Haley all those years ago.

"Please Dad we'll be here if mom wakes up we'll phone you straight away" Angel said her Nan was right he dad needed to clean himself up.

"Ok, ok I'm going I'll be back in an hour" Nathan said as he left he hated leaving Haley but his mom was right he did need a shower.

"Nan do you think mom's going to wake up" Angel asked after Nathan had left she couldn't ask her dad she didn't want to make him more upset than he already was.

"Of course baby your mom is a fighter" Karen as she held her granddaughter.

"Nan you remember what mom was like can you tell me about her" Angel asked she never asked anyone that before she never really wanted to know about the woman who abandoned her when she was a baby but know she knew the reason why she wanted to know about her mom.

"Your mom was the sweetest smartest girl I ever met and you are so much like her in so many ways. When Haley and your uncle Lucas became friends when they were four your dad was smitten with Haley and he followed her around for weeks" Karen laughed at the memory she could remember the day Nathan told her he would marry Haley James one day and they were only ten.

"Nan how did they get together" Angel asked she knew little bits but she wanted to know the full story now.

"Your mom would sit by the River Court every day doing her homework or reading a book and everyday you dad would ask her out until one day your mom finally put him out of his misery and agreed to go out with him and they were inseparable from that first date" Karen smiled she knew her son was going to be ok now with Haley back in his life.

"Nan why did you let them marry so young" Angel asked not many parents would let their sixteen year olds get married.

"They loved each other and I knew they would be together forever. Nathan loved your mom more than anything in the world and I knew I couldn't stand in the way of that. If I had of said no we wouldn't have you and I would never change any of it and neither would your parents" Karen said she never questioned whether she was right to let them get married so young it's the way life was and everyone has to have their own journey good or bad.

"Nan do you think dad and mom will ever be together again" Angel asked she hoped they would she wanted both her parents to be there.

"I have no doubt they will, they love each other more than anything and they belong together and we can't let Dan win anymore they have to be together again you need to be a family you deserve to be a family.

After showering Nathan got ready to go back to the hospital his mom or Angel hadn't rang so he knew there wasn't any change he just wanted to get back to the hospital as soon as possible.

When Nathan arrived back at the hospital there still wasn't any change Haley still hadn't woken up he asked his mom to take Angel home it has been a long few days and his daughter needed a good night sleep she had school in the morning. Nathan promised he'd phone her if there was any change or if Haley woke up he knew Angel wanted to be here but she needed to rest too and she hasn't been doing that since the accident.

"Hi Hales" Nathan said as he took her hands in his. "I know I've said this a lot to you theses last couple of days but please wake up we need you with us, we've always needed you. If you can hear me please move your fingers so I know your still here with me. Please Hales I love you so much I can't lose you again please come back to me" he cried as he held her hand in his.

While watching Haley sleep for the last couple of hours Nathan finally fell asleep these last couple of days had completely wrecked him he hadn't felt like this since Angel was last in the hospital and that was a few years ago.

Haley had awoken a few minutes ago and she couldn't believe what she saw there was Nathan asleep holding her hand leaning over the side of the bed. She just laid there staring at him she thought about waking him but he look like he hadn't slept in days she wondered what he was doing here. Then she remembered the accident and Angel that's when she broke out of thought, where was Angel.

"Nathan" Haley whispered as she stroked his cheek it felt like such a long time ago being this close to him she never wanted to be away from him again.

"Huh oh Hales don't ever leave me again" Nathan cried as he wiped his eyes, at first he thought he was dreaming when he heard her voice if he was dreaming he never wanted to wake up because Haley was here she was finally back to him.

"Nathan where's Angel" Haley asked as he held her it had been so long since she was last in his arms she never wanted to let him go but she needed to know where Angel was.

"Angel's at my mom she's been so worried about you Hales we all have" Nathan cried as he held her.

"Nathan I'm so sorry for putting you though this" Haley cried she knew he must have been worried about her.

"Haley you have nothing to be sorry about Dan did this to us not you. Haley I'm so sorry for not letting you explain to me what really happened. If only I'd swallowed my pride and let you talk to me, you wouldn't be in hospital right now please forgive me Hales I can't live without you again" Nathan cried as he looked into her eyes for the first time in fifteen years.

"Now you listen to me Nathan Scott none of this is your fault, you did what you thought was right for you and our daughter and I would never blame you for putting your family first. Yes I came back to be with you and Angel I couldn't be without you both anymore but you didn't know why I left as far as you were concerned I'd abandoned you and our daughter, and in some way I did yes I was forced to leave over fear of Dan hurting either of you but if I'd only tried to find out about what happened with Dan sooner I could have been back with both of you years ago" Haley cried she wasted so many years away from her family and even though it wasn't her fault she still blamed herself for not telling Nathan what happened all those years ago with Dan.

"No Haley this wasn't your fault Angel told me what happened if Dan wasn't already dead I'd kill him for what he did to our family. Hales I know I told you the other day I wanted a divorce, I never meant it I could never divorce you not even after all these years of not being together your my wife and you always will be" Nathan cried as he held her it felt like such a long time since she was last in his arms.

"Nathan not a day went by when I didn't think about you and Angel, all I wanted all these years was to be with you and have a family like we always dreamed, we can still have that Nate, if you want to" Haley asked she really hoped they could be together again it's all she wants in the world but she'd understand if he said no.

"Of course that's what I want hales, your all I've ever wanted" Nathan said as he kissed her for the first time in fifteen years.
