The Meeting:

As morning approached Haley looked over at her clock. She didn't sleep very well because she was so nervous about Nathan meeting her son. She couldn't help but think that Nathan could maybe turn her son against her. Tell him the truth. Say exactly what she did so many years ago. She knew she would have to warn Nathan about his son. Nathan was exactly like his father and a little aggressive and felt like he could say anything he wanted… at any time. While her kids were at school she would go and talk to Nathan about Nate going to see him.

2 Hours Later

Haley was standing in the kitchen drinking coffee waiting for Holly and Nathan to come downstairs. Nathan walked into the kitchen with that famous Scott smirk on his face. He reminded her so much of Nathan. Frankly it was a bit scary.

"Hey sweetie. How you doing this morning?" Haley asked.

"Great!" Nathan replied.

"Where's your sister?" Haley asked her son.

"Oh, right, I forgot. She was still… like upset so she said she was taking the bus. Sorry. I meant to tell you." Nathan told her.

"What? Oh my god. I have to talk to her. Um, anyway. I want you to come home right after school, okay?" Haley said.

"But I was going to see…." Nathan started.

"I know. But you need to come home first." she told him.

"Okay." He replied.

They sat down and had breakfast then headed out to the car. When they got to Tree Hill High Nathan got out and headed inside. Haley went and parked her car and waited until she didn't see any other students then headed to the gym since she saw Nathan's car. She walked into the gym and was amazed of how it didn't seem to change much since the last time she was in there. Except the fact that the jersey no longer said "Scott- 33" for Dan but was changed to Nathan's "Scott-23." She walked through the locker room to where she knew Whitey's old office used to be and expected Nathan to have it now. When she got to the office she saw a dark haired guy inside the office that said "Coach Scott." She knocked lightly at the door and Nathan looked up.

"Hey, Nathan." Haley said quietly.

"Haley? What are you doing here?" Nathan asked.

"Um, I told them. Everything. The marriage. The tour. And everything between you and me." Haley told him.

"And?" Nathan asked suspiciously of why she was there.

"Well, Nathan definitely wants to spend time with you. Get to know you. But Holly… she's so stubborn. Reminds me so much of you. But she won't even talk to me but I'm working on her." Haley told Nathan.

"First of all "Hey". Second that's great. Despite the part with your daughter." He said nicely.

"Our daughter." Haley corrected him and smiled slightly.

"Yeah. Anyway when does he want to come?." Nathan asked.

"Now. But I told him to come home first. Maybe I'll come with him. Just to make sure he's okay with everything. Although that's not usually a problem for him. But is that okay?" Haley asked Nathan.

"Yeah, it's fine. I'd really like that." Nathan said and smiled at her with that smirk he always gave her. "You know Haley…" Nathan started.

"You know, Nathan… I really gotta go. But I'll see you later." Haley said as she stood up to leave.

"Okay. So about 4 o'clock?" Nathan asked.

"Yeah, I'll see you then." Haley said and left quickly.

"Bye." Nathan said.

Haley walked back through the locker room and through the gym. She left slightly frazzled. She knew what Nathan was gonna do. She just knew it. When he started " You know Haley…" She knew she had to stop him. She knew exactly what was gonna happen. Just like every other time. It reminded her of their first tutoring session together. She would fall for it because she loved him so much even after all these years. She couldn't do it…not yet. She left the school and went home. She had to rest. She was so tired. She had slept about three hours all night and she had just made it through a great conversation with Nathan. Haley fell asleep and was only woken by her ringing cell phone.

"Hello." Haley said tiredly.

"Hales, what's up?" Her sister asked her.

"Hey Tay, what's going on? How are you doing without your favorite sister and beautiful niece and nephew?" Haley asked sarcastically.

"Of course. Well, anyway, I was just wondering how everything was. I mean with Nathan being back in Tree Hill and all. Did you tell them yet?" Taylor asked.

"Yeah. Yeah, I did." Haley replied.

"And?" Taylor asked.

"Well, Nate really wants to spend time with Nathan. But Holly wants nothing to do with Nathan…or me…right now." she said sadly.

"What? Why?" Taylor asked confused.

"Because I told them everything. Like everything. The marriage. The tour. How I'm still married to Nathan. And she was so upset. I don't think she understands it all…yet." She said.

"Yeah, but she will. So Nate really wants to see him?" She asked

"Yeah. Make sure you do. Details."

"Yeah, sure. Bye, Tay."Haley said

"Bye" Taylor said in return.

"Hey Nate,um give me 10 minutes, okay. Where's your sister?" Haley asked.

"Um, I think she's tutoring." Nathan replied.

"Okay." she said and walked upstairs.

Haley came downstairs and Nathan was waiting watching ESPN.

"You ready Nate?"

"Yeah, mom."

Haley and Nathan got in the car to go to the gym. When they got to the school they walked slowly into the gym and went into the locker room. Haley knocked slightly on the door and Nathan looked up. He was a bit nervous about really meeting and spending time with his son.

"Hey Nate." Haley said as she entered the office.

"Hi" He said as Nathan straggled behind Haley.

"Hi." He said to his father.

They all sat down as Nathan closed the door.
