Part Two

"I'm sorry, baby." He told her into the phone, the minute that his phone rang and he saw her name on the Caller ID, "I forgot that I had a game tonight. We were supposed to have it next Wednesday, but then two days ago, they changed it because the team we're playing has some school event that evening. I'm so sorry." He apologized again.

Haley sighed, "We never get nights, just the two of us."

"I know, babe, trust me." He longed to hold his wife in his arms right now. He heard her sniffle over the phone, "Ah, baby, don't cry."

"I can't help it. I had a terrible day dealing with Mrs. Bitch-ley and now I come to meet my husband at the restaurant and he's not here waiting for me." She whined

Nathan smiled, "Here's what we'll do. I'm going to leave the team in the capable hands of Lucas and the older kids with Peyton and I'm going to leave at half-time, okay?"

Haley took a deep breath, "No, Nathan, the team needs you there..."

"You need me more and I need you, Hales." He said, knowing that if his wife insisted he stay, he would, but also making it clear that he would rather be with her tonight

"I'm sorry." She apologized, "I didn't call you for you to pity me."

Nathan frowned, "I'll never pity you, Hales. What's there to pity, we have four beautiful children and a marriage that's lasted through everything. Better yet, I still find you sexy as hell."

She laughed, "You sure?"

"Sure that I find you sexy or sure that I want to leave the game?" He smirked, knowing the answer

"That you want to leave the team..."

He growled inwardly, "Good, because if it were the other one, I'd come right now and just show you."

"So I'll go home now and you'll be there when?" She asked, already paying the tab for the two glasses of wine she'd ordered

"Mmm, quarter after eight. And don't make dinner, I'll order pizza." He suggested, knowing his wife would make dinner for them and after tonight, that's the last thing she needed to worry about

"You sure, I can make..."

She was cut off by Nathan, "No. I'll order pizza, okay? Unless you feel like something else?"

"Nope. Pizza is fine." She stated, "I love you, I'll see you in a half an hour."

"Oh, and Hales?" He said, just to make sure she was listening

"Yeah?" She asked

He smirked again, "Put the kids to bed." He told her

"Alright." She liked that idea, "Love you." She repeated

"Love you, too." He told her before snapping his cell shut. He just wanted half-time to get here so he could go home to his wife.

Friday, you're late

Guess we'll never make our dinner date

At the restaurant, you start to cry

Baby, we'll just improvise

Once Haley got home, she saw the babysitter on the couch with a sleeping Ryan in her arms and she looked exhausted. Haley went over and took her sleeping son from the girl. "Hey."

"Hi, Mrs. Scott. Sorry, he fell asleep here because we watched one of Jamie's movies and it scared them so he refused to go to his room, but he was exhausted."

Haley shook her head, "That's alright, Megan. Let me just pay you." Haley rummaged through her entire purse and found twenty dollars, handing it to Megan

"Oh, Mrs. Scott, this is far too much, I was only here for two hours." The young girl questioned

Haley nodded, "But I asked you to come for three and we agreed seven dollars an hour."

"So did you want me to stay?" The girl implored

Haley shook her head, "No, Megan, I just know how it is to tell friends you can't do anything the whole night because you're babysitting and then have half the night free because plans go awry. I told you that I'd need you for three hours, but just because you're not staying that long doesn't mean I won't pay you for that long."

"Okay. Well, thanks, Mrs. Scott." Megan waved as she headed for the door, "Call me anytime you need a sitter for the kids."

"Sure." Haley answered, distractedly

After looking in on Lucy and assuring that she was asleep, Haley put Ryan to bed in his crib. She got cleaned up and started setting candles in the kitchen and living room to set a romantic scene. She wanted this to be just like dinner at a restaurant. After all that, Haley looked at the clock, which read 'eight-twenty-five'. He was late, again. But, when eight-thirty hit, Nathan was in the door.

He looked around, dumbfounded and walked into the kitchen, which was set with romantic candlelight and flowers, "Hey baby." He said, when he saw Haley, "Sorry, I'm late again, I didn't account in that time to pick up that pizza."

Haley smiled, "It's okay. I wasn't sure if you were going to show up."

"I'm here, no worries." He put the pizza on the counter and pulled her close, "I'm so sorry for earlier."

Smiling, Haley pushed up against him, whispering, "The kids are asleep and it's just you and me, dinner and then bed." She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively, "I'll get us some plates."

"I'll get glasses and some wine. White or red?" He asked, knowing his wife's general preference, but not sure if that's what she wanted

"White." She answered and he pulled a bottle of white zinfandel out of the bar fridge, peeling off the wrapper and using a corkscrew to get the cork out. He poured two glasses of it and sat on the barstool, handing her the other glass when she came around with two slices of pizza on each plate and handed him one. When she sat down, she said, "I was so looking forward to this with you."

Well, Plan B looks like

Domino's Pizza in the candle light

Then, we'll tippy-toe to our room

And make a little love that's overdue

He took a bite of his pizza, "I'm looking forward to tonight with you."

She rolled her eyes, "Me too, but just being with you, you know, alone. It seems like ever since we had Ryan, we haven't talked as much."

"Four kids is a lot of stress and pressure to put on a marriage, Hales." He told her seriously, "But we knew that when we planned Ryan."

" 'Cause he was really planned, Nathan." She smiled at his use of the word

"Okay, so he wasn't planned as much as the rest of them, but if we really thought we couldn't handle the stress of a big family, we could've you know, given him up or something."

"I could never have done that." Haley stated, "Do you think you could have ever given up any of our children?"

"No." He sighed, defeated, "Never. I love my life the way it is. You and the kids, you make everyday worth going to work and every night worth coming home."

She smiled, "You're so sweet." She touched his cheek and brought his lips to hers, "I love you more and more with the years."

"Me too. I don't know what I would've done without you, Hales. We live in chaos, but it's our chaos." He said, stressing the 'our'

Once finished eating, Haley began to clean up the dishes, but Nathan stopped her, "Later we'll do dishes." He promised, "Right now, I think the bedroom is calling." He cupped his ear, "Yep, definitely the bedroom." He assured her

She smacked him in the shoulder, "You're a loser. But whoever said you can't love a loser was a loser without love himself," she stated and when he looked at her, she added, "and he was wrong," before latching herself to Nathan.

His lips caressed hers and when she allowed him, his tongue delved deeper into the recesses of her mouth, exploring like he hadn't in years. Sure, they had made love. Recently, in fact, but this was on a whole new level. There were no kids around and it wasn't just convenient to make love tonight, it was planned. She moaned and brought her hands up to cradle his shaved head in her hands.

Scraping her fingers along his scalp, she pulled him closer. "God, I love you." She panted, when breaking for a breath, "I forgot how good you are at this."

He looked at her appalled for a second, then recovered, "What? Sex?"

"No." She shook her head and kissed him thoroughly, "No...Well, I mean you're great at that too, but just making out. You make me feel like I'm young again."

He nodded, then looked up at her, curiosity lighting up his deep blues, "Hales, you're only thirty-two."

"I'm old." She whined

He shook his head, "You're silly is what you are. You still look seventeen to me, Hales. I mean, we had Jamie at eighteen. Have you seen some of the mothers that walk around that high school? They're old and grey and gross." He shivered, "But you'll always be youthful to me, Haley James. Always."

"You're so nice to me." She shivered, delightedly when he pressed open, wet kisses to her jawbone and neck. He bit the skin there briefly, before licking it to soothe the red patch of skin. "Nathan..." She giggled, "I'm going to have to wear turtlenecks for the rest of the week."

Nathan looked at her seriously, "I want everyone to know you're my girl."

"Including our fourteen-year old son who got caught making out with some random girl in the janitor's closet last week?"

"Are you implying that I'm a bad influence on Jamie?" He asked, kissing her non-stop

She shook her head, "Talk later." When they approached the stairs, "What do you say, old man, think you can carry me all the way up to our room?"

His eyes traced the length of the stairs, "I could carry you for miles, Hales." He swooped her up as if she were as light as their six-year-old daughter and carried her flawlessly to the top and into their bedroom, dropping her on the soft bed.

He crawled atop her, using his forearms to rest upon, so he wouldn't hurt her with his weight, "My strong, dutiful, handsome knight." She deemed him and curled an arm around his neck, bringing him close, "I love you."

"I love you too, baby."

Hours later, after making love twice, the two were fast asleep, when Lucy entered their room, her teddy bear in tow. "Momma?" The child asked hesitantly, "Daddy?"

But, somebody's had a bad dream

Momma and Daddy, me and my teddy

Come and sleep in between

Nathan heard the tiny voice and got up out of bed, "Hey baby. What's wrong?" He lifted her up to his height, "Tell daddy what's wrong, princess."

"We watched a scary movie and now I can't sleep." The little girl's lip trembled and tears ran down her cheeks

Haley stirred at the two talking, "What's wrong, baby?" She asked and got up to meet the two, "Let's go back to bed, Luce."

"Oh, Momma. Please don't make me!" Lucy cried and Haley could tell she was upset because Lucy had almost never slept with them in the night

"Shh,baby." Nathan soothed, running a hand down her back, "How about just for tonight, Momma and I will let you sleep with us, okay?"

Lucy gave them a teary-eyed smile, "Thank you, daddy. George and I will sleep right in between..."

Nathan gave Haley a look and settled his daughter and finally he and Haley settled back down into a peaceful sleep. Nathan realized right then that his life was one he'd never changed. As much as he loved his wife, he also loved night that they could sleep with their children. He loved having a fatherly bond with his kids that his father never offered to him. And as loud and demanding as day-to-day life was with his family, he wouldn't ever change it for the world.

Yeah, it's okay, it's so nice

Just another day in Paradise

Well, there's no place, I'd rather be

Well, it's too hearts, one dream

I wouldn't trade it for anything

And I ask the lord every night

Ohh, for just another day in Paradise
