Chapter 34

Nathan POV

A whole week has passed by and I still can't get over my precious baby girl. She's perfect in every aspect. She has ten tiny toes, ten tiny fingers, 2 big blue eyes, and the cutest button nose that is so Haley it's not even funny. Her hair was already raven, just like my own.

"You should be sleeping."

I smiled at the voice. She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around my neck from behind. I moved my hands up to hold her arms. "I can't sleep. I can't take my eyes away from the angel god sent me," I replied.

She laughed slightly. "She's got you in the palm of her hands," she whispered in my ear and then kissed my cheek. "Don't stay up too late, okay? You've got class in the morning."

I sighed and nodded. "I'll be there in a minute, Hales, okay?" I said, finally looking away from my baby girl to my beautiful fiancée.

She smiled and leaned down to kiss me. "Okay, but if you're not back in bed with me I'll-"

"I'll be there, Hales," I replied and turned back to face Emily. I bent over to kiss her lightly on the forehead. "Daddy loves you, angel," I whispered and finally left the room.

I pulled back the covers and fell into Haley's open arms. She showered my face with kisses which made me grin. She smiled back and kissed my lips lightly. "What are you grinning at?" she asked.

I shrugged. "You're so horny and you're definitely showing it," I replied.

She scoffed. "I'm not horny!" she exclaimed. "What, I can't kiss you?"

I shook my head. "You can kiss me whenever you want to, baby, but you can't have sex with me for 5 more weeks," I said and she groaned. "Ha, I knew it! You're hornier than you've ever been!"

She looked up at me, her lower lip jutted out. "Why did you have to remind me how long?" she asked. Then she changed her expression. "Wait, you're the one that said you've never been hornier when you saw me holding your child! Now you're going crazy because we can't have sex! That's it, isn't it?"

"Will the two of you quit arguing? You're going to wake up Emily and you won't be happy."

Haley hid her face in my chest as my father left the room. I merely laughed. "What, Hales?"

She looked up at me. "That was so embarrassing, Nathan! We were fighting about being horny!"

I laughed again. "Haley, he knows we have sex. Remember our daughter, Emily?"

She swatted at me. "You know you're not funny, Scott!"

I shrugged. "I think I'm pretty damn funny myself."

"You would," she muttered.

I smiled down at her. Her eyes were getting droopy. I kissed her forehead gently and laid her back down on my chest. "Go to sleep, Hales. You've got that doctors appointment in the morning," I said and she jerked up quickly.

"Oh god, it's going to be horrible Nate! Now I won't be able to sleep! They're going to tell me I have HCM and I passed it on to Emily and she's going to hate me forever!"

I brought her into my arms and rubbed her back. "Everything is going to be fine, Hales. The doctor will say that you don't have anything to worry about. You won't have HCM and Emily will be fine, okay?"

She nodded against my chest. I held her close until I heard her breath even out. I maneuvered myself out of her grasp without waking her and crept down to Emily's room. "You know I was the exact same way when we had you."

I turned and smiled at my dad. "What, a nervous wreck?" I asked.

He chuckled and patted my back. "That and proud. I see the gleam you get in your eye when you look at Em. You're already a fantastic father and you don't even know it," he said.

We walked into her room where she was starting to get fussy. I picked her up expertly and began to rock her. I knew she wasn't hungry because Haley had just fed her.

"See? You're an old pro and it's only been a week, son," he smiled at me.

I grinned back. "She'll have me giving her whatever she wants when she can talk, I can already see it. Just don't tell Haley I admitted that," I muttered.

He laughed. "Are you kidding? I'll be the first to let her know that you finally admit it!" he joked. "Seriously, Nate. I'm proud of you, kiddo. You've proven to be the man I always knew you could be."

I looked up at my father, seeing tears in his eyes. I can't remember when I ever saw him cry. I set Emily back in her crib and hugged my father. "I love you, dad," I said.

"I love you, too, son," he replied. He pulled back and patted my shoulder. "Go get some sleep, kid. She's not going anywhere."

I nodded. "Night," I said and went back into my room, crawling in next to my love and fell asleep in her arms.

Haley POV

I woke to the cries of my baby. I stood with a smile, not upset at all that I had to get up. She didn't fuss too much so I was excited when she did. I guess that's weird to some people, but I love the fact that she needs me. It makes me feel important.

"Hey baby girl," I cooed as I entered her nursery. "Are you hungry, sweetie? Yeah, I bet you are!" I took her over to the rocking chair that sat in her room. I waited until she started to get her fill before leaning my head back. It was still strange. There was a life that needed me to do everything for her. Nobody was there to help me but Nate. Well, that's not true, but if we didn't live with his parents it would be only us. It was weird. I don't know if I'll ever get used to it.

Nathan entered the room, a sleepy grin on his face. "How are my two favorite girls this morning?" he asked, kissing my cheek.

I smiled at him. "Someone is very hungry," I replied.

He laughed. "I've been there. I know what she finds appealing."

I glared and he laughed again. "Nathan Scott you better watch yourself! I would hit you but I have a baby attached to me right now."

"Excuses, excuses," he replied.

I just nodded. "Okay, you asked for it. I won't have her attached to me in a few minutes and then you'll be really sorry."

He held up his hands. "Ohhh, I'm really scared! What are you going to do, withhold sex from me? Oh wait, we're already doing that!"

I gave a short laugh. "You're mister funny guy this morning," I said through gritted teeth. "You hear that, Emmy? Daddy wants to sleep on the couch tonight!"

She looked up at me with her big blue eyes and I melted. I saw Nathan in those eyes. I looked up at him and smiled. He quirked his head. "Weren't you just mad at me?" he asked.

I shrugged. "I was," I admitted. "Then I got lost in her eyes, which are exactly your own eyes."

He grinned. "I'll keep that in mind for later," he replied. He looked at his watch and sighed. "I gotta get ready for class. Mom's gonna take you to the appointment, right?"

I nodded. "Your uncle Cooper and Rachel agreed to watch Emily because they want to return the favor," I said. "Don't worry about a thing, okay? I'm going to be fine. Emily's going to be fine. We're all going to be fine."

He smiled and leaned down to kiss me one last time. "I'm not worried. I'll be back later, okay? You'll tell me how everything went then?"

I shrugged. "I won't know the results until late tonight."

He nodded. "Okay, we'll find out together. I love you. Both of you."

I smiled. "We love you, too, daddy!" I emphasized on daddy and he grinned. "Bye!"

"Goodbye," he replied and left.

I looked down at Emily, fear in my eyes. "I'm going to take care of you, baby girl. I'm going to make sure that if we have this disease you will have the best medicines in the world. Don't you worry," I said and began to burp her, silently praying I wouldn't have to keep that promise.
