Chapter 2

Both women stopped by the school and saw their children coming out. James Lucas Scott who was 5 years old and Summer Scott who was 4 years old. Watching their children come out made their hearts ache. Jamie had those blue piercing eyes that just made Haley picture Nathan and although Summer looked like Brooke, she had those characteristics and features of her father. It was like looking at Nathan and Lucas Jr.

"Hey baby how was your day at school?" Haley asked her son as she embraced him in a hug

"Fine," Jamie whispered, not hiding his emotions very well

Haley knew from his voice that something was bothering her son, "Jamie what's wrong?"

The little boy looked up to stare at his mother, "When's daddy coming home?"

Brooke and Haley made eye contact; it was harder explaining the situation to their children.

Haley knelt down at eye level with her son as she held his arms, "Sweetie, daddy is staying with Uncle Lucas and he won't be back for awhile."

The pout on Jamie's face became more obvious which broke Haley's heart even more, "Why are you and Aunt Brooke so mad at daddy and Uncle Lucas?"

Haley closed her eyes, "Look sweetie-"

"Hey little man, daddy and Uncle Lucas did some things to mommy and me and when you're older you'll learn that sometimes it's very hard to forgive people especially when they do bad things," Brooke explained, helping her friend and trying to get her godson to understand.

"I just wish that daddy and Uncle Lucas didn't do bad things," the little boy whispered

"So do we buddy," Haley whispered while hugging her son

"We're going to bring you to Uncle Skills so that you both can have some fun with the guys," Brooke said trying to lighten up the moment

Jamie raised his head in excitement, "Is daddy gonna come and see me?

"No he's not sweetie but I promise that I'll call daddy and schedule a date for you two to spend time together," Haley said.

Jamie was upset and sad. Brooke and Haley felt for him but for the time being they would just have to stick together and try to help their children in any way that they could.

The girls dropped the kids off at Skills apartment and were told by the guys that if they need anything at all, they were always there to help. Haley and Brooke thanked them all before getting back into the car and driving away.

"Can you drive me home?" Brooke asked as the car came to a stop at a red light. I'll be back soon and we can go to dinner before picking the kids up, I just want to pack some more stuff to bring to your house."

Haley nodded, "Sure."

She dropped Brooke off and made her way home. She walked inside and decided to pick up all Jamie and Summer's toys from outside of the backyard before one of them tripped and got hurt. She opened the doors that led outside and gazed out on the pool. The sun was reflecting on it which made it twinkle and she started to loose track of things

~Flashback~

Haley was in the hot tub just relaxing, Jamie was at school and she was enjoying some time to herself when she heard the sounds of someone coming into the hot tub with her

She opened her eyes and found the man of her dreams with his dreamy eyes and body entering the tub. She smiled as he wrapped his arms around her and started kissing her neck as she was rubbing her hands on his shoulders.

"Hi," he said in that sexy deep voice of his.

Haley smiled, "Hi, you know I like your hi's."

"I like saying hi to you," he said laughing a little at his wife's words but still not losing track of her neck.

"Oh really? What else do you like saying to me?" she asked while arching her eye brow

Nathan leaned up a little to whisper, "That I love you," in her ear.

Haley smiled and she felt his lips touch hers and she immediately began to loose herself in him but she quickly pulled away

"I love you too," she said staring him in the eye. Nathan smiled at her words and continued to kiss her.

"You know Jamie's at school and you and I have all this free time," he said interrupting their kiss

Haley giggled while giving her husband a sexy wink, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Oh yea," he said while lifting her from the water. The sounds of the extra water on their bodies dripping filled the air as he quickly brought her inside, closing the door behind him with his foot and rushing her to their room where they showed one another exactly how much they loved one another

"I love you Haley James Scott," he told her and truly meant it.

"I love you too Nathan Scott," she replied as the two of them smiled at one another.


~End of Flashback~

She snapped back into reality and turned around when she saw the person who she shared those memories with standing right in front her. He would have loved nothing more then to just grab her and kiss her and remake that day but he knew that it wouldn't happen and he feared that it may never happen again.

"Thinking about that great afternoon that we spent together?" he asked as he slid his hands in his pockets.

"That was the past and this is now," Haley reassured him with anger filling her voice.

"Hales," he called out as he began to walk towards her and tried to hug her

"Don't touch me!" she shouted as she wiggled herself out of his arms with tears falling down her face. "Just don't touch me ever again."

Nathan's heart broke at those words, "You don't mean that."

Haley held herself, "Yea...I do, pretty broken huh? I guess I have you to thank for that." She put her head down and let the tears stream down her face.

Nathan looked at her, she was hurt and he hated seeing her this way and it hurt him more to know that he was the reason why she was hurting this much.
