"Mommy!" Julie attempted to whisper in her mother's ear.

Haley rolled over and opened her eyes, Julie was already dressed.

"Good morning honey." Haley said to her daughter.

"I got dressed by myself!" Julie said happily.

"Thank you." Haley said, hugging her daughter tight.

"Mommy, can we go where you brought me yesterday?" Julie asked.

Haley nodded "Sure pumpkin get your shoes on and mommy will get dressed."

Haley and Julie walked a while until they got to the River Court.

"Lot's of memories." Haley mumbled.

Julie bounced the basketball and threw it to the net, it almost went in.

"Mommy, these are too big!" Julie complained, looking at the net.

Haley laughed "Just try sweetie. You'll get it."

A few minutes later, Haley's phone rang and she turned to face the other way. When she hung up the phone and turned back around, Julie was talking to someone.

"I'm Julie." Haley heard her say

"Hi Julie, it's nice to meet you. Do you like basketball?" the man asked.

Julie nodded "Mommy says I'm the best basketball player!"

The man laughed "Oh yea?"

Julie grinned "Wanna play?"

Before he could answer, Haley walked over to the man standing over her daughter. They had more in common then she ever realized. They looked so much alike.

Nathan looked at Haley for approval. Haley looked at her daughter, then back to Nathan, before nodding.

Julie smiled and threw the ball at Nathan. Nathan jumped and shot the ball, making a swish when it went it.

"Yay!" Julie cheered.

Haley couldn't help but smile.

When it was Julie's turn to shoot the ball, Nathan ran and picked her up to the net so she could make a slam dunk. When he put her down she ran over to Haley.

"Mommy! Did you see that?!" she asked happily.

Haley nodded "That was great pumpkin."

"Mommy, this is Nathan." Julie said when Nathan walked over "He's really good."

Haley didn't make eye contact with him "I know he is."

"Mommy, will you play?" Julie begged, pulling at Haley's hand.

"I…I don't think that's a very good id---" Haley started.

"Yea, come on." Nathan chimed in.

Julie wouldn't let go so Haley finally gave in.

Nathan threw Haley the ball and she threw it to her daughter.

Haley was actually enjoying herself. She was happier then she's been in a while.

But then Julie turned to Nathan "My mommy says that my daddy is the best at basketball! And that he would play all the time. That's why he left, because he wanted to play."

Nathan's smile faded "Oh."

Haley couldn't face Nathan, she grabbed her daughter's hand and walked away.

"Haley!" he called loudly, but she kept walking and didn't look back.

When Haley got back to the hotel, she opened the door to their room and there was a man sitting on the couch.

"Tyler!" Haley said happily, running into the man's arms "What are you doing here?"

Tyler kissed her "Well on my way home from the meeting in Florida, I decided to stop because I missed you."

They kissed again "Grossssss" Julie yelled.

They laughed and Haley fell into his arms.

"Long day?" he asked

Haley nodded "You have no idea."

----------

Later that night, Brooke invited Haley and Tyler over for dinner while Julie was over Karen's.

"Brooke!" Haley called as she opened the door.

Brooke came out and took her apron off "Tutorgirl!"

Then Brooke's eyes averted to the tall, good looking man standing with his arm around Haley "You must be Haley's loverboy."

Tyler laughed "Tyler, nice to meet you."

Brooke smiled and turned on her heel, before looking back at Haley "He's cute."

Haley and Tyler sat in the kitchen and helped Brooke with dinner.

"So loverboy. How long have you known tutorgirl?" Brooke asked.

"Two years." Tyler said, his hand in Haley's.

Then Brooke gazed to Haley's hand, wondering why she didn't notice it last night.

There was a beautiful diamond ring on it "Haley!"

Haley just smiled "I was gonna tell you tonight if you didn't notice."

Brooke hugged her best friend "This is so great tutorgirl!"

Later that night, Haley was in the living room by herself.

Nathan walked up to the house, but didn't go in right away, he looked into the window and saw Haley.

She was swaying slightly, her face snuggled in Julie's neck. She was wonderful. He watched the way she moved, the way her hair fell around her shoulders. He wishes he could remember all her little details that time made him forget.

Then, he watched a tall man slip alongside her, taking the sleeping girl from her arms, before he kissed Haley ardently. Nathan cringed.

After the man took Julie away, Haley turned, a smile still on her face. Then he saw her body stiffen, he realizes that she saw him. He watches her slip through the front door and walk slowly over to him.

"Hi." She says quietly "What….what do you want?"

Nathan was pulled from his thoughts and looked into her eyes "I want to see you."

"Oh, you did." Haley said, somewhat questionably.

He knows that she is leaving tomorrow. He knows he has to make this count for them "You look so happy Hales."

Haley smiled "Yea. I am." She looks down, hastily uncomfortable.

Then she feels his fingers under her chin, lifting it up "I'm glad." He really means it. But she still sees the sadness in his eyes.

"I missed you so much Hales. What happened to always and forever?" he blurted out

Haley sighed, getting upset "Nathan, not again."

Nathan took a step closer to her, their faces only inches apart "I can't do this Haley. I can't help how I feel."

"Yes, you can." Haley told him "Just hide it or something, just like I'm doing."

"I don't want to hide it Hales. I…..I can't." he pleaded, seeing the pain in both their eyes.
