------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nathan was already at the stadium. He was the first there….He was always the first.

He hated himself for the fight he had with Haley yesterday. I was completely out of line!! He thought angrily.

In fact Nathan hated himself for still loving her so much. He never thought he would be so weak. She left him 5 years ago without a look behind; she kept his son away from him and replaced him with Lucas…his own brother!! Nathan expected to feel some kind of hate for Haley, but he didn't feel anything else other than love, pain and anger.

Nathan hated himself that he kept hurting Haley…He knew last night was a terrible mistake. He shouldn't have reacted the way he did.

Nathan just shook is head before he started to do suicides.

"Scott!" Shouted a voice full of anger behind him.

Nathan stopped right away and turned around a smirk on his face. He tried to hide his surprise.

"Hello my loving brother…." Nathan said his voice saying something else.

Lucas walked to Nathan with anger in each step.

"Why do you keep hurting her?" Said Lucas pointing his finger to Nathan aggressively." I…. I won't let you hurt her anymore!" Added Lucas in a warning tone.

"Huh huh…. She complained!!" Nathan laughed. "Well…. What can I say….She breached the contract". He added looking at his brother with hate.

"I'm going to « breach » way more than your contract with her if you keep hurting her." Added Lucas seriously.

"You drove here just to tell me that?! Thanks so much!" Said Nathan sarcastically. "Drive safely on your way back." He added turning his back to Lucas.

Lucas laughed sarcastically. "Well…She should have known by now that Nathan Scott is an ass especially after sex." Added Lucas turning around ready to go. Nathan won't change! He thought sadly.

"What?" Said Nathan surprised. "She told you?" Asked Nathan turning around looking at Lucas in disbelief.

Lucas frowned. "Yeah…She did." He replied confused

"Oh so I guess you're one of those free couples!" Said Nathan shaking his head. "But believe me…She may have complained to you on the phone afterward but she didn't complain when she was in my bed."

"What?" Asked Lucas his voice full of anger.

Stephanie was about to go to her office when she heard the heated argument coming from the court.

She arrived just in time to stop Lucas from punching Nathan straight in the nose.

"Walk away." She said seriously putting her hands on Lucas shoulders. Just touching him made her feel high. You're not a teenager anymore she thought trying to bring some sense in herself.

"I…" Started Lucas, His eyes glued to hers.

"Don't do something you'll regret." She whispered to him. "Just walk away Lucas…. You'll just make the situation worse than it already is." She added still standing between the two brothers. It's not like I could stop them if they really want to fight. She thought panicking slightly.

Lucas sighed and looked at Nathan.

"I can't believe you're implying that Haley and I…." Lucas was almost speechless. "You're sick man." He added shaking his head. "Seriously…."

Stephanie thanked Lucas for giving up. She was walking him back to the door when Nathan stopped them.

Fuck! Thought Stephanie angrily. We were almost outside!!

"Oh come on Luke…Sorry…. It's Eugene right?" Said Nathan laughing. "You want me to believe that you left everything you knew…your family, your friends, your life just like that? You guys lived together for the past five year… Who's going to believe that nothing happened between you two?"

Lucas turned around abruptly, Stephanie's hand tightened on his arm as Lucas looked into her eyes and smiled.

"Don't worry I won't fight." He said nicely to her.

Her heart just melt, she smiled back and blushed.

"I won't ask you to believe me…" Lucas sighed "I know you won't but I need to show you something." Said Lucas mysteriously. "I've got something in my trunk to show you. Just give me 5 minutes of your time." Asked Lucas trying to sound calm even if he was still boiling inside.

"What do you have huh? Ropes and a shovel? I don't owe you a thing." Said Nathan standing straight and glancing at Lucas with proud and coldness even if he was far to feel as he felt before.

"No you don't owe me a thing but you do owe something to Natey and you owe something to your family". Said Lucas seriously. "And I can assure you…. what I've got to show you... will probably change your vision on everything. "

"I doubt it but…" Nathan shook his head. "For Natey…." He added walking to Lucas. And for me too, I wish more than anything that I'm wrong.

Stephanie stayed behind, she knew that the brothers needed some alone time but she stayed close enough in case a new brawl started.

Lucas opened his trunk and handed a pink cardboard box to Nathan.

Nathan frowned. "What's that?" He asked aggressively.

"Well…. It's Haley's." Said Lucas looking at the box. "She's going to hate me big time when she finds out I gave it to you but…" Lucas stopped and sighed. You're meant to be…At least I hope so. He added to himself sadly. "Just take look".

Nathan opened the box and saw many folders in it and some recordable dvds. He took the first one and started to flip it over. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Haley collected all the articles and all the pictures of him from Duke. She also added some letters, poems and songs in the folder.

Such as when Duke won the NCAA championship, she wrote a letter where she told him how proud she was of him, how much she missed him and loved him and that she was truly pleased that he found someone else to love. Nathan looked at the picture and sighed. I never loved that girl!! He thought. She was just a freaking crazy cheerleader who was all over him and she kissed by surprise after the game.

Tears started to fill Nathan's eyes; He was doing his best to fight them. I treated her so bad!! I'm such a jerk!

Lucas saw the emotion in his brother eyes and decided to give him some privacy.

"You can keep it." Said Lucas not even angry anymore. "Just so you know…. She never stopped loving you. For the last five years you were on her mind, her heart and dreams. Nobody touched her since you Nate and nobody else will ever." Lucas cleared his throat. "Look in her room...She's still wearing her wedding ring Nate. She wears it on her chain. You're her always and forever and her running away didn't change that." He added walking away to meet with Stephanie.

"She's my always and forever too." Whispered Nathan once Lucas was out of earshot. I need to set things right. I need to tell her how much I love her. I'm done protecting myself...She deserves better than that...better than me!

Nathan couldn't wait for practice to be over now.

---------------------------------------------------

Kelly dropped Natey back at the house. She couldn't stay because she had an appointment with her wedding organizer. She was really running behind schedule and was sure she wouldn't be ready for next month.

Haley looked at her son and smiled. You win Nathan…Congratulations I give up. She thought.

"So Angel…How was your sleepover at Auntie Kelly and Uncle Greg's?" She asked smiling.

"It was awesome!!" He said with a bright smile. "We watched Disney movies while eating ice cream!!" He added excited.

"Ice cream huh?" Asked Haley laughing. "You're so lucky!!" She added hugging her son.

She sat on the sofa as Natey sat beside her.

"Will Nathan be back soon?" Asked Natey innocently.

"You like him huh? What do you like him so much?" Asked Haley forcing a smile.

"Yeah!! I don't know why I like him that much I...can't explain" Said Natey seriously.

Maybe he can feel the all father/son bound thought Haley unsure.

Natey smiled but his eyes were sad "But…But I miss Uncle Eugene."

"I know you do sweetie. Don't worry…. Uncle Eugene will be back soon." She added kissing his forehead. I need to tell him the truth before Nathan does. Thought Haley with anger. God knows what he's going to tell him!

"Can I go and play in my room?" Asked Natey.

"In a minute sweetie." Said Haley nicely. "Mummy needs to talk to you before you go." She added looking in his big and innocent eyes. "I know you heard Nathan talk about Lucas right?" She asked nicely.

Natey nodded.

"Well…Lucas is uncle Eugene." She said simply. She saw confusion passing into her sons' eyes. "You've got two names don't you?" She asked him.

"Yeah…"Said Natey still confused.

"Anyhow…. When you're be older and if you don't like your name you can change it. So you are called Nathan Lucas James well…. Uncle Eugene was called Lucas Eugene but he decided to be called Eugene because…because he preferred it." Haley added not wanting to explain more.

"Oh!" Said Natey as if he just had a revelation. "And what about you mommy? You did it too huh? I heard Nathan calling you Haley." He added cheekily.

"You're listening into conversations." She said smiling and starting to tickle him.

Natey laughed very loudly and it warmed Haley's heart.

"Yeah it's the same for me sweetie. I didn't like my name anymore so I choose to be called by my second name…. Jessica." Said Haley feeling bad lying. He's not even 5 yet! I can't say too much! She thought trying to justify herself.

"How come Nathan knows your other names?" Finally asked Natey.

Haley smiled. "You're smart son." She said. Way too smart!! She added to herself.

"I know." Said Natey shrugging "But why did you call me Nathan mommy? I like having the same name than Nathan Scott.". He added looking straight into her eyes.

You're just like Nathan. She thought tenderly. "You remember one day you asked me who your dad was..." Said Haley with emotion. There's no turning back. She added to herself.

Natey nodded his eyes full of hope.

"Well…Your daddy is...it's... Nathan Scott." Said Haley not knowing which reaction to expect from Natey.

"I knew it!" Said Natey out of happiness. "But…But why didn't I see him before? He didn't want to know me," asked Natey sadly.

"No honey! Don't say that! Nathan loves you!" Said Haley looking deep into her sons' eyes to show him she wasn't lying. "It's…It's a long story sweetie and you're smart but you're way too young to hear it." Said Haley sincerely. "But you'll know the truth one of these days."

Natey frowned.

"I…. Mistakes were made honey and…" Haley shook her head. "The only thing you need to know is that Mommy and Daddy love you very much. "

Natey sighed and looked at Haley for a while. He could see the embarrassment in her eyes. He didn't want to hurt her.

He hugged her. "I love you too mommy," he said nicely. "Can I go play now?"

Haley nodded. "Of course honey... Of course." She said fighting her tears.

Haley waited for Natey to be in his room before let the tears fall quietly down her cheeks. I'm just tired. I don't want to fight anymore. She thought to herself. We're clearly not meant to be.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nathan left the gymnasium as fast as he could. He couldn't wait to see Haley and ask for her forgiveness.

He took the letter beside the Raleigh News Article talking about him being the MVP.

The letter said:

Dear Nathan,

I knew you could do it! MVP huh? After only two years... Well I didn't expect you to make it that fast!!

I'm so proud of you and just so you know you're never too far from me.

I see you in your son everyday. Faith Hill explains it perfectly in "There you'll be".

I can see your smile in the picture and you seem truly happy. I'm really pleased for you and I can see I took the right decision when I left you.

I made this choice for you and it's impossible to regret something you don't know.

I regret you everyday Nathan... you made of my life a fairy tale for a while and it's hard to look back.

You don't know how it much it hurts to live, laugh and breath without you.

I wish you all the best.

I love you... Always and forever.

Haley.

Nathan walked in.

"It's me!" He said with a big smile. He knew that the explaining he would have with Haley was going to be heated but...

He saw Natey running at him.

"Hey Buddy!" Said Nathan kneeling.

"Hey..." Said Natey looking at Nathan with his baby seal eyes. "So... You're my dad?!" He asked Nathan.

"I... Who told you that?" Asked Nathan almost falling over, he was so surprised.

"Mamma told me!" Said Natey stating the evident.

Nathan nodded and hugged his son tight. Why did she tell him? I hope it's not too late for us!! Asked Nathan to himself worried
