"Nathan…I can't believe it!" Said Haley kissing his face." I missed you so much." She added with tears in her eyes.

She heard a moan and remembered that Nathan was just waking up from a coma.

"Oh sorry…" She said finally stepping back looking at him with a bright smile. "I'm going to call the nurse."

Nathan shook his head negatively. "Thirsty" he said with a broken voice. He didn't know how long he had been lying there but hearing Haley's voice forced him to fight harder.

Haley gently gave him some water.

"I missed you Nathan." She finally said as the heavy weight she had on her chest lifted. "I thought I was about to lose you."

"You can't lose me." Said Nathan in a whisper. "I'll be with you forever."

Haley kept her eyes on his for a moment. "I never thought it was possible to miss eyes as much as I missed yours." She finally said honestly. "I was praying to see those beautiful blue eyes again." She added kissing his hand.

Nathan squeezed her hand. "I missed you too…more than you think. You're the reason I fought to come back."

Tears started to fall down Haley's face. Nathan just made the most beautiful compliment ever.

"Let me call the nurse Nathan." Said Haley smiling and pressing the button. "I just want to be sure everything's okay." She added running her hand through his hair. "Thank you." She said her voice broken with emotion.

"Why are you thanking me for?" Asked Nathan confused.

"For coming back to me." Stated Haley smiling while stepping back and leaving space for the nurses to check Nathan's vitals and reflexes.

After a while the nurses left the room reassuring both Haley and Nathan, saying the doctor was going to be there in a few.

"I'm going to call Lucas," said Haley taking her bag. "They were so worried about you, you know. "

"Stay with me" asked Nathan looking into her eyes. "You can call them later."

Haley nodded and laid on the bed against Nathan. She buried her face in his neck. "I was so scared Nathan." She said against his neck. "I thought I was going to loose you and the worse part is that I wouldn't have had the time to tell you how much I loved you and how much I needed you in my life."

Nathan started to gently caress her hair.

Haley took a deep breath; She needed to tell him everything. She swore to herself she would tell him if he woke up. "I want us to be a family again. I need us to be a family again". She added her voice full of emotion." I ran away for all the wrong reasons, but you've got to know that I didn't do it because I didn't love you enough." She said kissing his neck." It can seem strange but I did it because I loved you too much." She added hoping he would understand her.

Nathan kissed Haley's head. "I drove you away Hales when I should have held on to you." He said sincerely "but now we both have the possibility to repair the past and that's all that matters." He added with emotion.

"My heart was screaming to stay, but my head was saying the contrary. I had the uncontrollable fear to get hurt." She added opening up at last. She took a deep breath. "And I ended up getting hurt… I did for 5 years and it was my own fault."

Nathan shook his head. "It doesn't matter anymore." He said sincerely. "We're together now, we're going to be a family again. What's five years in a lifetime?"

"Yeah…" Said Haley pleased to see that Nathan wanted them to be a family as much as she wanted them to.

They stayed in each others arms for a while, they both knew they needed to call Lucas but neither of them wanted to break the embrace. They needed each other, separately they were only a part of a whole.

"Can I…" Nathan stopped himself. He wanted to ask Haley something but was scared to ruin the moment they were sharing, but he knew that if he didn't ask it would keep bothering him.

"What's wrong"? Asked Haley worried and helping herself up to look at him.

"I…" He sighed. "I want to ask you a question but if you don't want to answer it's fine okay?" Said Nathan with some apprehension in his voice.

"Spill it Scott!" Said Haley trying to hide her nerves.

"If you were that broken after leaving me why…. why didn't you come back?" He asked looking away.

Haley didn't talk for a second; she didn't expect such a question.

She took a deep breath. "Truth? Well…I thought my pain would fade away over time but it didn't and…" she sat on the bed and ran a hand through her hair "and once I realized I couldn't get over you ever, I…. I wanted to come back but I saw the pictures of you at Duke and I thought you deserved your life and your dreams." She shook her head. "It was stupid of me but my pride got in the way too. Pride isn't always a good thing," she added forcing a smile.

Nathan wanted to talk but Haley stopped him by putting her hand on his lips.

"There is only one thing you need to know Nathan and never ever doubt it." Said Haley looking deep into his eyes. "I never stopped loving you…not for a minute!" She added sincerely. "You were the one then and you will always be." She stood. "Well…I'm going to phone Lucas now." She said as an excuse, when in fact she needed some fresh air.

It had been one of the longest days in her life, full of good and bad events. She needed to clear her head now that everything was finally falling into place.

"Okay…." Nathan said simply knowing that Haley just needed to step out for a while. "But just so you know you've always been the one for me too. I never doubted that." He added sincerely with a smile.
