Nathan looked at Haley's lips, they were pink and swollen after the passionate kiss they just shared.

Nathan wanted to kiss her again but he knew that talking was more important. Put some ice on it Nate! He thought.

"Okay…" Said Nathan with emotion in his voice. "Let's sit down." He added pointing to the kitchen table.

Haley's head was spinning. Each time Nathan touched her, her whole body responded, it hadn't been like that since high School. Come on Hales you're not 16 anymore. She thought angry against herself.

She sat in front of Nathan but she tried to avoid his glance. His eyes were reading her soul and she knew it to well by now.

"I'm sorry" Nathan finally said.

Haley finally met his eyes surprised." Sorry?!…. Sorry for what?" She asked playing with her pinkie ring.

"For everything!" said Nathan sincerely with guilt in his voice. "From listening to my dad one too many times, to force you into this contract, for making you give up on your dreams once more, for what I said the other night after…after making love…. For everything. I'm so sorry Haley." Nathan added in a begging tone.

Haley frowned and looked at him with both disbelief and suspicion. "Why are you doing this? "She asked looking deep into his eyes.

"What? Apologizing?" Asked Nathan arching his eyebrows, his voice full of surprise.

Haley nodded.

"Well…." Nathan cleared his throat. "Firstly because I wanted to do it a long time ago but you disappeared and I never had the chance to do it." He smiled guiltily. "Secondly I was clearly out off line when I forced you to leave Lucas and the life you built in Honey Grove to stay with me. Thirdly I really want to apologize for what I said the other night." Nathan said red with shame. "I was totally out off line and especially cruel and…and you didn't deserve that." He added looking down.

"You bet I didn't!" said Haley with a sarcastic laugh. " I still don't know why you're all nice when you were so angry against me the other night."

Nathan was about to answer but Haley stopped him with a hand.

"Why doesn't really matter Nate…" she said sincerely. "And…and you don't need to apologize for all of that."

"What?" Asked Nathan in surprise.

"Yeah…" She said with a sad smile. "You're not the one who made me abandon Stanford…I did." She said instinctively putting her hand on her belly. "I know I couldn't cope with both Natey and Stanford and believe me…" She smiled with nostalgia "I don't regret choosing our son for a minute. I didn't give up my dreams they just…evolved." She added shrugging.

Nathan smiled brightly.

"Why are you smiling for?" Asked Haley curious.

"Because you just said « our » son," said Nathan his voice full of emotion with a tear falling down his cheek.

"Well he is isn't he," Said Haley trying to smile back. "As for your apologies..." she started seriously again. "You don't need to apologize for the « contract » you imposed on me." She started to play with her ring again.

She's so nervous and stressed. Thought Nathan sadly that he inspired this kind of feeling in his wife.

"I was the one who accepted it and…and I can understand where you were coming from with everything I've hidden like your son from you. As for Dan…." She laughed not looking at Nathan any more, she was looking through the open window. "Well what can I say… He always had such an influence on you and…" Haley took a deep breath, she wanted to hide the pain she was feeling at this instant. The fact that Nathan chose his dad's side one more time did break her heart but she didn't want to show him that. "And the fact that you followed him once again showed that you didn't trust me or knew me as much as I thought you did." Haley fought back her tears. "I consider Dan's last meddling as a benediction Nathan." She added sincerely. Being rejected when announcing I was pregnant would have been a fate far more cruel. She added to herself.

Nathan sighed. He could see that Haley was trying to be strong but he knew deep down she was broken. He wanted to make her feel better, erase her pain…heal her heart. "Look at me Hales." He asked nicely.

"As for the other night…." Said Haley ignoring Nathan's demand and keeping her eyes on the window. "I should thank you actually…you...you made me understand I was fighting for something that didn't exist anymore." She added sincerely.

"What?" Nathan shouted with surprise mixed with pain. Here we go! He thought to himself. "Would you mind explaining it to me?" He asked a bit aggressively.

"No I don't mind." Said Haley finally trying to keep her calm. "I wanted us to be together again but…but I was fighting for a couple that ceased to exist a long time ago…for people who died a long time ago." She added with nostalgia. "I'm not the Haley who married you anymore and you said yourself that you're not the Nathan I once loved and knew. "

"I was jealous Haley." Said Nathan closing his eyes. Each of Haley's word was hurting him a bit more. He could see that she wasn't talking out of anger but that she meant what she was saying and it hurt him even more. "I didn't mean what I said and you know it."

"Well you should have Nathan." Said Haley looking at him. "We've been together about a year and we didn't see each other for the last five years." She sighed. "Life brought us some good and bad things that made us who we are today."

"But I still love you." Nathan finally said in a last plea.

"I love you too." Said Haley sincerely. "I'd probably love you for the rest of my life Nathan." She shook her head. "But I realized recently that who I love is the memory of you. I loved the 17 year old Nathan Scott with his head full of dreams." She added putting her hand on top of his.

"That's bullshit Haley!" Shouted Nathan removing his hand. He wasn't angry...He was just terrified he might have lost her. "You can't lie to me! There's so much passion in our kisses I... It can't be over." He shook his head. "No!" He added stubbornly.

"I won't deny it Nathan." Said Haley nicely. "Please calm down. I won't hide anything I... I'm just too tired to fight. I'm tired of fighting for a memory...a memory of us," She added sincerely with a sad voice.

"Naley it's always and forever." Said Nathan stubbornly. "You'll see that eventually. But we can start over right? Be friends?" He added with puppy eyes.

Haley sighed. "We can start over...Friend." She said with a skeptical smile. "Maybe... maybe you'll see you want someone who's not there anymore."

"You're wrong. You're my soul mate...my future," Said Nathan seriously.

"We're back!" Shouted Natey running to them.

"You're my first and only love and you'll see it eventually." He added smiling before looking to Natey and hugging him. I'll fight for us! You're tired but I'm not...I love you enough for the both of us. He thought.
