Chapter 3: To leave or not to leave?

About two hours later, we have eaten breakfast and cleaned up the food that little Jamie threw around the kitchen. Although both Nathan and I looked upset, we couldn't help but laugh. In the meantime, James threw some of his food at his fathers face. This made me crack up. Nathan looked shocked. He turned back and forth between James and I. I could not stop laughing. Nathan looked at me and smiled like he was thinking of a plan. "You better not doing anything to me, Nathan Scott" I said still laughing.

"Oh and what if I do" now was getting up from his chair. I run away laughing. He chases after me with baby food on his face. "Hales you better run." Thank God Nathan didn't get anything on me. He just chased me around the apartment just to scare me.

While Nathan took a shower first, I brought James into our bedroom and sat him on the bed so I could finish packing. James was watching some cartoon while chewing on his toy. Out of no where, James would look up at the TV and find something amusing to distract him. I looked up at him and smiled. Our little bundle of joy. I finished packing and heard Nathan open the bathroom door. Immediately, steam went everywhere. I began to chuckle.

"What" he said.

"Shower not hot enough for you" I said with a smirk. The famous Scott smirk that I have grown to mock.

"Ha-ha, very funny. You know you love it."

"Depends. Anyway, can you watch him while you get dressed and finish packing? Please" He can never turn down the puppy dog face.

"Sure. But hurry, I don't want to be late" he said.

"Uh, wait! A few hours ago you were complaining about going and now you don't want to be late?" Now I'm confused.

"Well, yeah, I don't want to go but you know I hate being late for stuff even if it deals with my dad." He turns to the closet to get dressed.

"I know babe. It won't be as horrible as you might think it will be. Your dad has gotten a lot better and you know that. Yeah your dad isn't the greatest person alive" It makes me laugh just thinking about it, "but he has tried to become a better person."

He turns around fully clothed and looks at me. "Yeah, I know. I'm sorry. He still gets on my nerves though."

Jokingly I say, "Well I think we both know that won't change."

Knowing that that got him in a better mood, he steps closer and kisses me.

"Okay can I take a shower now 'cause if you keep me any longer, you will start blaming me for your own actions" I smile.

Pouting, he says, "Oh fine, but you owe me."

"I'll think about it."

His grin becomes wider, "Fine."

"I'll be out soon. And by the time I'm out you better be finished packing" I notice that my voice fades into the sounds of the water running in the shower. Laughing I think, he probably didn't hear me.

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

"Hales we gotta go!" He yelled from down the hall.

"I'm just finishing packing him. Chill Nate. We will be fine!"

He heard me yell and I can hear him come towards James' room. He comes in and sees that James is in my arms, up in the air, we are playing "airplane". I start to make airplane noises and he starts to laugh. I bring him down and he is smiling from ear to ear. I turn my head and notice Nathan is staring at us with a smile on his face.

"Oh yeah you are definitely packing alright" he says laughing. I know he isn't stressed anymore when he walks over to lay on the floor with us.

Whispering, he says, "Now this is perfect."

"Yeah it really is. I would love to stay here all day with you, but hunny we kind of gotta go now." I stand up with James and begin to leave and then stop when I hear Nathan say, "Oh now my wife wants to leave."

Fifteen minutes later all I hear is, "Got everything?"

I finish locking the apartment. Wow going away from this place for four days. It is so hard for us to get out now a days. I nod to my husband, "Yeah I think. We have the present for everyone right?"

He turns at me in shock handing James to me, "There are presents?!" My mouth drops.

"You have got to be kidding me?"

He nods laughing, "Don't worry I am. And to answer your question, yes, I got the presents." He gives me a wink. I feel as if I'm going to melt whenever he gives me that look. Okay now snap out of it!

I finish putting James in his car seat and then get into the front, "Let's go!"

Within the few minutes that we are in the car, I begin to daydream. I think about the few days that lead up to renewing my vows to my husband. I remember sitting with him on the couch, eating ice cream, talking about our special day. I tell him my idea of making that day even more special. I remember waiting to hear what I have to say. "What if we wait to have sex after we get married…well again?" I say looking so excited about my plan. He looks at me trying to hide his confusion and says, "Are you kidding?"

"No. Do you still love me?" And I'm just thinking, oh god he is going to freak.

"Um, yeah, but if that's what you want then okay."

I snap out of my daydream laughing. We are at a red light and Nathan looks at me confused. "What's so funny?"

"Oh nothing. Well I was just thinking about that night I told you my oh so brilliant idea about us not having sex until we got married again. And your face was priceless."

He laughs, "Yeah, but don't ever do that again. Those days were so difficult and you know it. I never thought I could get through that."

I laugh along. "I'm sorry, but it was worth it wasn't?"

He looks over playfully and winks at me, "Hell yeah!"

He's right though. Those few days were really tough. He would do things on purpose for me to change my mind. Thank god it never worked, but it came close. If we were kissing, I would pull away knowing what he was trying to do and he would start laughing and walk away. I remember him saying, "Oh come on Haley. Don't fight it." And I would follow where ever he was going and wait until he turned around so I could say, "Well if you keep this up, I'm going to hold it off even longer after we renew our vows." He pouts and says, "Oops, sorry." Holding sex from Nathan Scott was such a punishment in such a funny way. He knew I found it funny and he called it unfair.

I find it odd, but refreshing when I think about our marriage together. Odd meaning that we got married at 16 and we couldn't have been more in love. We are in college and 18. People might find it strange that we are still together. I don't one bit. That's why I find it refreshing. Some people can't pull it off, but we can. Yeah, we have had fights, who doesn't have them when they are in a relationship. Last year I left him. Not that I didn't love him. I left to go on tour for my music. When I think back to that day, it scares me how I did it. I still loved my husband, I never stopped. But when I think about it today, it got us where we are today, no matter how bad that time was. I regret going. But then that summer a year ago, I came back. Nathan was very distant and angry. He gave me the cold shoulder all the time. I had to keep saying how sorry I was and that I wasn't going anywhere.

He seemed like he forgot how to love me again. I, obviously, had to prove to him that I wasn't leaving him. When I went on tour, I never realized that I could have both my music and Nathan. I thought I had to choose. When the opportunity of my music came around, I thought I would never get that chance again so that's why I left. Within a few months of coming home, Brooke and I lived together in the apartment that my husband and I used to live in. He gave it to Brooke after the summer because he didn't think he needed it anymore. When I came home and saw he moved out, I was shocked and so sad. Nathan, on the other hand, was back to his old asshole self. Blaming other people for his own mistakes. He was like this before he met me. People have said to us that I changed him into a better man, but when I left, he lost that part of himself.

When I was living with Brooke, she was glad I was back. She among very few people, were happy. Thinking about it now, the only people that were happy were her, Luke, and Karen. At that point Brooke and Lucas were on a "non-exclusive" relationship. In the process they were hurting each other and then in the end, they committed themselves to each other. Thank god! Brooke helped me the most for getting back together with Nathan. She would always tell me in her preppy cheerleader voice, "He'll come around. Believe me, it's Nate. I bet he still loves you, Tutor-Girl. So honestly, don't worry." Brooke was always there. As time went by, I was able to spend time with Nathan talking to him about what happened.

What brought us closer was the shooting at school. I was trapped in the school was a kid with a gun. He knew I was in the tutor center so he came in a found me. He stayed with me until it was safe. Things were then back to normal. About a month later, all of us went on a trip to just get away from the situation with the shooting. That weekend, he asked me to marry him again.

The night of the rehearsal dinner, I felt so sick and after the wedding I took a pregnancy test. I found out I was pregnant. Nathan freaked out when he found out. I could tell he was scared, but so was I. We were so young and things were good between us and now I'm pregnant! It didn't take him long to think about it and come and tell me he was sorry for yelling at me about it. I remember he was at the pres conference that night and I decided not to go because he was upset with me. I remember him saying on the television screen, "My wife couldn't be here today so I just wanted to say one thing to her. Haley, no matter what happens we will face it together. I promise you I have never been happier. Everything is going to be okay. I love you." I cried as I watched and whispered "I love you too".

Then everything was fine, up until the car accident. I was pregnant, not even half way through the nine months when I was hit by a car. Nathan and I had money problems and he tried to ask for help from his dad, but he turned him down. Nathan turned to these two gamblers and they helped him with money. But when they asked him to lose the basketball state championships, he couldn't do it. With his decision, my life was put on the line. As bad his actions sound, he never meant to intentionally hurt me, I know that. I recovered with the baby being fine and my broken leg healing. What made Nathan want to win the state championship was because on me.

That day, I was in a lot of pain and had to be taken to the hospital. There was when I found out we were going to have a boy. I told Nathan that his son was going to make fun of him for his horrible playing. He was so happy and for the second half he own the game. When I found out about his decision, I was so angry and I made him well aware of that. He couldn't complain about me being angry because he knew I was going to be. At least he told me the truth. But now, the past is the past, and that makes us who we are today.

I then snap out of my past and return to my present. Where I belong. With my husband smiling next to me and with a beautiful son in the back. I couldn't have asked for anything else to make me happy. Nothing will ever replace this happiness.
