Flashback
"Hey Hale's" Nathan said as she walked into the kitchen. He was making them breakfast he felt after last night and they're semi-failed date night it was well needed. "Coffee's ready and in the pot" Nathan finished with a smile as he finally looked at his dumbfounded wife. "What are you doing?" she asked as she shook off her shock and went running to his side. "You should be resting not cooking." She finished as she rested her hand on her hips. "Hale's I am making us breakfast not running a marathon." Nathan finished with a small chuckle. Haley then brought her hand up to his where he was flipping sausage to try and pry the spatula out of his hand. It worked because she now had the spatula in her hand. "You heard the doctor you are to rest now go sit watch sports center or whatever I will call you when breakfast is ready." Haley stated with a satisfied smile as Nathan took a step back.
"Haley, I am fine I just wanted to do something nice I feel kind of bad our date night got ruined." Nathan finished with a small shrug. "Nathan I had a wonderful time the movie and pizza was good but the company was perfect. To be honest I felt it was perfect I love you now go do what you are told and relax." She finished giving him a look.
Nathan sighed in defeat he wasn't about to argue further they where getting along and he knew better then to argue with the look she had on her face. He retreated to the den to sit on the couch with his coffee cup in hand. Twenty five minutes later Haley came walking into the living room balancing two plates on one arm and her coffee cup in the other hand. "Breakfast is served!" she stated as she placed her cup down and handed Nathan his plate of pancakes and sausage.
"Hale's I could of come and got it myself I am not lazy." Nathan stated in a semi-agitated tone.
"That wouldn't be taking it easy or relaxing now would it?" Haley stated with a smile on her face. "Besides you might as well get use to it because you aren't lifting a finger around here until you are 100%." She finished with a smile as she set her cup down and took a seat next to him on the couch.
They both started eating in silence for a while. "so…" Nathan started "what are we going to do today?" he asked with a signature smirk on his face. Haley smiled back she loved that smirk. "You are going to relax and I will be doing things around the house today. I have already called Quinn she is going to bring Jamie and Lydia back later around five tonight so I figured we could all have dinner. I also filled Brooke in on your condition and she is going to take care of the café with Julian's help for the week so I will be around to take care of you." She finished with a smile and then took another bite of her pancake.
"so I will be…" Nathan started and Haley finished "Relaxing, watching sports, movies, TV, playing games, or whatever you can do from right here on the couch, the only thing you can get up for is to use the bathroom if you need anything you can call for me and I will get it." "Got it" Nathan said as he finished off his breakfast and put his plate to the side.
It was now two weeks later Nathan had never felt better he snuck out for a run this morning. This was the longest he had been home in a long time and if he was honest he was enjoying it. Haley had taken a week off from the café so she could be home with him. She absolutely refused to let him do anything but rest and if she caught him doing something she felt he wasn't suppose to be doing she was sure to let him know it.
Even though the doctor had cleared him to resume his normal schedule after last weeks visit Haley refused to let him until he had seen the doctor about the other findings which he was going too he actually had an appointment this afternoon which might explain why he was up so early. He had all the retesting done last week and had an appointment at noon for the results.
He had trouble sleeping he was worried about "the what if's" this doctors appointment held. Haley seemed to still be sound asleep so instead of disturbing her he snuck out for a run and to shoot around a bit at the river court. As he rounded the corner heading back to the house he checked the time it was a little after 7am and he was still hoping Haley would be asleep he didn't want another lecture not today, which was why he went for the run in the first place. He needed it, needed time to clear his mind. As he reached the end of the driveway he stopped running and slowly started stretching he then pulled his ear buds out of his ears and hung them around his neck and walked slowly into the house.
When he had left the house for his run he had turned out all the lights. Walking in he quickly noticed that the kitchen light was on. He then took a deep breath because he knew Haley was awake and waiting for him. As he rounded the corner he noticed her sitting at the kitchen island cup of coffee in her hands and she was just staring off into the distance.
"Morning Hale's." he greeted as he walked to the fridge and grabbed a bottle of water. "How did you sleep?" he asked as he took a seat next to her.
She finally turned to him as she slowly pushed her coffee cup away and took hold of his hand. "Not well." She said as she grabbed his hand and held it in both of hers. "I just couldn't sleep anymore I was tossing and turning and when I woke up and found you gone and sleep was out the window at that point." She finished giving him a small smile. "Where did you go?" she asked already kind of knowing since he was covered in sweat.
"I went for a run and then played a little bit of basketball at the river court this morning. Trying to clear my head you know." He said rubbing his thumb across the back of one of her hands. "I got the go ahead to resume normal activities so I figured a run wouldn't hurt I mean my back checked out yeah its still messed up but I can't quit living just because well you know…" "I guess I just needed to clear my head is all." Nathan said taking his other hand and pushing a stray hair out of Haley's face and rested it on her cheek. She leaned into his touch as she closed her eyes she loved this man in front of her with all of her heart and had since she was 16years old. She couldn't even picture nor did she want to picture a life without him. He was her everything.
"Brooke is going to look after the café today so I can be with you." Haley said as she opened her eyes.
"Morning mom, morning dad." Jamie said as he entered into the kitchen and walked to the fridge he grabbed the orange juice and then walked to the cupboard to grab a glass as he then poured himself a glass and put the juice back in the fridge and turned back to his parents.
"Good Morning Jamie!" both Nathan and Haley said at the same time causing Jamie to burst into laughter. "So dad's doctors appointment is today does that mean I still have to go to school?" Jamie asked with a hopeful smile. Haley and Nathan both started laughing as they looked at one another giving both a knowing look. "Yes you have to go to school." They both then said in unison. "Jamie you have a test today that's the only reason why we are making you go." Haley said as she watched her sons face go from a smile to a full on pout.
"Jamie when you get home I promise your mom and I will be here. You and I can play some play station or something okay. But you going to school and keeping up your grades up is a must okay. I will be alright. I promise." Nathan said as he stood up and walked over to hug his son. Jamie simply wrapped his arms around his dad and hugged back. Things around the house had been better between his parents but the pending news on Nathan had everyone on edge but praying for the best. "Okay but I am hungry and am going to get some cereal." Jamie said stepping out of his fathers embrace and quickly getting things for cereal. Once seated he started eating as Haley went off to get Lydia up for her breakfast. Nathan sat with Jamie as he ate his cereal.
"Are you nervous?" Jamie asked taking a large bite of his cereal.
"Yeah I am a little." Nathan said as he looked at his son. "I am sure I will be okay. Your mom is going with me today so that helps too." He finished getting a bowl to have some cereal himself.
After a few minutes they both started to eat in silence. As soon as Jamie finished he rinsed out his bowl and put it into the dishwasher with his glass. He then walked over to his dad giving him a hug goodbye before he left to go to school.
After Jamie left Nathan finished his breakfast and cleaned up his mess putting the cereal away. He looked to the clock it was a little after eight now. He decided to head upstairs to check on Haley and Lydia before taking a shower. However, just as he was rounding the corner there was a knock at the door.
Grumbling Nathan turned around to answer the door. He opened the door and was pleased to see Clay and Quinn standing on the other side.
"Hey you two good to see you come on in." Nathan said as he stepped aside to let them in.
"Haley is upstairs I will go get her and then I will be taking a shower."
"Okay Nate." Quinn said as she stepped inside with Clay
"Thought I smelled something funny when he opened the door who knew it was him?" Clay stated to Nathan's retreating figure.
"I heard that Evans." Nathan said in a chuckle as he continued his way upstairs.
Walking down the hallway he stopped at Lydia's door. "Hey Hale's, Clay and Quinn are here." He said as he walked into the room.
Haley looked up at Nathan and smiled. "Okay. I will go down now." She said as she stood up still holding Lydia as she reached down for Lydia's over night bag.
"I am going to take a shower." Nathan said as he walked over and placed a kiss on his daughters head before doing the same to Haley.
"Okay" Haley said as she reached up on her tip toes to kiss his lips. She then walked around him and started for the downstairs where her sister and Clay where.
She walked into the kitchen to find Clay with a bottle of water and Quinn with a cup of coffee.
"Hey Haley Bob" Quinn greeted as Haley came into view. "Hey you two are early" Haley said as she put Lydia in her car seat. "thank you so much again for taking Lydia for the day." Haley said as she finished putting Lydia in her car seat.
"No problems Hale's" Clay said. "We just want what you and everyone wants and that's for Nathan to be okay. How is he doing anyway?" Clay asked looking to Haley.
Haley let out a huge breath "He is stressed. He is putting up a good front but I know he is worried. He went for a run this morning. He also made sure I was sound asleep before he left. I think he knows I would have stopped him. I know the doctor said he was fine but he hasn't gotten his second results back yet and I just wish he would be careful." Haley finished while running her fingers through her hair.
"Hale's I know you are worried about Nathan but keeping his ass glued to a couch cushion isn't the answer." Quinn said. "He loves you, you know that."
"Yes I know. I love him too I guess that's why I have been overprotective with him." Haley said "I just want him healthy." Haley finished with a smile.
"We all want that Hale's." Quinn said as she got up with her coffee cup in hand rinsed it out and then placed it in the dishwasher. She then walked over and gave her sister a hug. "We are here for you Hale's. Clay and I are going to take Lydia and go, don't worry we will get Jamie from school this afternoon you and Nathan just take some time with each other." Quinn finished picking up Lydia and asked Clay to quickly get the diaper bag. "Later Hale's" Clay said as he grabbed the diaper bag then gave her a quick hug as he followed Quinn out the door to the car shutting it behind himself.
Haley quickly started upstairs she had a plan this morning that's why she had called Quinn in to pick up Lydia.
Haley came into the master bedroom in record time she smiled as she seen the bathroom door still shut. She quickly entered the bathroom as she shut the door she turned around with a smile on her face in hopes of finding Nathan still in the shower.
When she had turned so was disappointed to find that he was out of the shower and shaving but kept the smile on her face. They locked eyes through the mirror Haley's smile cause Nathan to smile back but the quick pace she had entered the bathroom in didn't escape his mind as he quickly smiled back at his lovely wife.
"Whoa Hale's where's the fire?" he asked after a moment as he began to chuckle
Haley couldn't speak at the moment her sexy husband had her in a trance. He is only in a towel with is loosely tucked around his hips and his happy trail is in plain view.
This doesn't go unnoticed by Nathan either as he turns around and walks up to her. He then slowly leans forward and whispers in her ear. "Hale's close your mouth you're starting to drool." As he is pulling away he gently tugs on her earlobe with his teeth.
After he did that something inside Haley snapped. He didn't have a chance once he started to pull back her hands instantly grabbed his face and forcefully guided his mouth to hers. She then took the little step forward to crush her body to his. At the rate she was attacking his lips it took Nathan a moment he wasn't expecting this but he quickly recovered and was now kissing her back.
As tongues battled for dominance clothes where quickly being tossed, Haley was running her hands up and down Nathans rock hard chest. They soon broke apart from kissing for some much needed air but Haley's mouth never left Nathans body. She kissed down his jaw line, to his chest, to his happy trail all the way back up. When she was finally standing she ripped the towel off of her husband's waist. She licked her lips as she seen he was all ready for her.
Nathan who had managed to get Haley into just her bra and underwear slowly started backing her up to the door of the bathroom. Once she was there he boxed her in with his arms. He dipped his head down and started kissing the side of her neck. He kissed and nibbled his way softly biting over her pulse point and soothing it over with a kiss earning a moan of approval from Haley. He then unhooked her bra a cast it aside. He took his time giving equal attention to both breasts earning moans from Haley.
He then moved his way back up to her neck kissing, and sucking. Biting over her pulse point again and soothing it over with another kiss. He then met her lips in a tender yet hungry kiss. While in another tongue battle for dominance Nathan put his hands on Haley thighs slowly lifting her up. Knowing what was going on when Nathan lifted her up she wrapped her legs around him bracing her back against the closed door for support. Nathan broke the kiss as Haley took hold of him in her hand and started stroking him. Once a little pre cum came out she used that and guided him to her entrance.
Locking eyes Haley slowly lowers herself onto Nathan. They both moan as they join and become one and lose themselves into each other.
An hour later both where dressed and thanks to this morning early happenings running a little late. As Nathan finished putting on his shoes Haley came running into the room finally fully dressed. She was wearing jeans with a nice yellow blouse and as she came into the room she had heels in her hands she stopped and put the heels on. When she looked up she noticed Nathan fully dressed in his jeans t-shirt and his leather jacket and wearing his signature smirk.
Haley blushed and smiled back. This morning had been wonderful but found herself wondering how he had had the upper hand in the matter. She had planned for this to take place but couldn't figure out how he knew. Her original plan would have been her seducing him in the shower not him to her in the bathroom against the door and then again in the shower. She made a mental note to question him about this later.
"Ready Hale's?" Nathan questioned as he stood up and grabbed the keys.
"Yes just let me grab my purse." She said as she went to retrieve it.
Finally in the car on the way Haley was running this morning through her mind. She couldn't figure out how he knew. Nathan who had been paying extra attention noticed how quite Haley was being and decided to question her.
"What's on your mind Hale's? You're thinking over the radio here." Nathan stated as he looked over to her with a smile.
She looked at him and noticed that signature smirk again, the same one that always made her go weak at the knees "how did you know?" This caused Nathan to laugh "know what Hale's?" Nathan questioned. "This morning when… I mean I planned to… just how did you know?" Haley finished giving him a knowing look.
"Look Hale's I overheard you with Quinn last night on the phone. So when you came into the bathroom this morning I already knew your plan but I figured it was my turn to surprise you." Nathan finished with a sly smile.
Flashback:
Nathan and Jamie where in a game playing xbox, Jamie was laughing because he had won that round of Halo Reach. Nathan had Jamie hold before the next game because he was thirsty and was going for water as he was walking away Jamie asked for one too.
As Nathan rounded the corner to enter the kitchen Haley came in talking rather loud on the phone.
"Look Quinn, I really need you to take Lydia for me tomorrow morning. Tomorrow is Nathan's doctor's appointment he hasn't said anything but I know he is stressed. I was just hoping to spend sometime with him. I actually was thinking of attacking him tomorrow morning because it has been a while for us."
"Awesome thank you! Be here tomorrow morning as soon as you can. Okay see you soon."
Haley then put her cell phone back in her pocket. Nathan not wanting Haley to know he had heard everything quickly turned around to go play games with Jamie as Haley started dinner.
Nathan came back into Jamie's room with no waters. "Dad what about water?" Jamie asked giving his dad a strange look. "Sorry Jamie, I have two in the freezer there wasn't any cold but your mom is home and she is starting on dinner. "oh okay." Jamie said as he handed his dad back his controller and the played until called for dinner.
End Flashback
"So you heard everything I said to Quinn yesterday?" Haley asked.
"Yes and I decided that I would take you by surprise Mrs. Scott." Nathan said with a smile as he pulled into a parking spot and put the car in park. "I would say I am sorry Hale's but I'm not this morning was amazing. I love you." Nathan said as he got out of the car.
"I Love you too." Haley said as she soon joined her husband.
Half an hour later they where in an exam room waiting for the doctor both weren't saying anything, Haley looked to Nathan he looked as if he was about to puke if he didn't get the news soon. She got up and went and sat next to him on the exam table. Taking his hand and hers and just holding it. "We are going to be okay Nathan." "I am here for you; everyone is praying and standing behind you. I promise we will face whatever this is together." "Thanks Hale's that means everything to me." Nathan said as he kissed the back of her hand.
A few minutes later the doctor walked in with the results. "Hello Nathan, hello Haley. We called you in here today to give you the results. I am so sorry Mr. Scott but you are completely fine." The doctor said as he smiled.
Nathan and Haley both released the air neither one knew they had been holding. "I'm fine?" Nathan questioned "But the other test…"
"The hospitals equipment that day had a glitch in its system. Ten other people got the same spot on the scan that you did. The tests we ran last week are clear and you are healthy. However since your fall your back is still degenerating which isn't surprising for the injury that you sustained." "Congratulations Mr. Scott you are fine and free to go." The doctor finished as he left the room.
Haley jumped up from the table dragging Nathan with her and pulling him in for a bone crunching hug. "Nate this is wonderful you are fine. Can you believe it? we have to celebrate tonight. I am calling Brooke at the café we will have it ready everyone is coming tonight. Come on lets go." She then started dragging Nathan out the door towards the car.
Nathan was so relieved on the way home. He couldn't keep the smile off his face neither could Haley but he still had something he had to tell her. He had updated his will with everything that had been going on. He was just glad that he didn't have anything to worry about now. His main focus now was going to be just taking care of his family.
He pulled into the café with Haley to already find everyone at the Café. She had been on the phone as soon as they where out of the doctors offices, letting everyone know that he was alright. Tonight was a night for celebration.
