Chapter 13
Nathan was happier than he had been in a long time since Haley had told him she was pregnant. And he was even more determined to get Mary. He wanted his two children to live with him, to know each other. Two children. Not so long ago he didn't have any, and now he was having two nearly at the same time.
He spent long moments just staring at Haley and everytime she caught him he had a stupid grin on his face. She was glad that the news of their child had made him so happy. She had been a little unsure at first, but now, each time he looked at her with those eyes full of love, she knew that they would be okay. Everything would be okay.
But there was still that shadow hanging over their head. Mary. Things hadn't changed. Peyton was still trying to prevent Nathan from seeing the little girl. When she kad pulled her last stunt, Nathan had barely been able to contain himself. Peyton had had the nerve to ask for a social investigation saying that it wouldn't be good for Mary to be with him and that he probably wouldn't be a good father. His lawyer had told him that he should try to get some people to write letters they would present in court. Letters testifying that it would be better for Mary to be with her father, and that Nathan would indeed be a good father.
Haley had written a letter and so had Lucas and many of Brooke's friends, like Bevin, who knew that her and Peyton didn't really get along well. Even Mary's grandfather, Peyton's father, had written one.
Maggie Grace Scott was born at 11:36 AM, on the 22th of May 2008. Looking at his small daughter, Nathan couldn't help the smile that seemed to be stuck on his face since he had seen her. He couldn't believe that he had nearly missed his daughter's birth. Not that he hadn't been at the hospital on time. No, Haley was the one who arrived late at the hospital. That morning, Nathan had gone to work at 8AM, leaving a still sleeping Haley in their appartement. A few hours later, Haley had called him saying she was in labor and that since he wasn't there she was going to take a cab. She also threatened no to let him see the child if he wasn't there on time. So she took the cab and neatly had to give birth in a nursing home, because apparently the driver was new to the city and didn't know where was the hospital. Haley ended up giving him the instructions while trying to breath. Finally the baby was born in the hallway of the maternity ward were Nathan had been waiting for her.
