Nathan just stared at her in disbelief. He couldn't believe she was actually here standing in front of him and saying she wanted to come home. His mouth opened and closed several times, but no words seemed to be able to come out. The love of his life was standing in front of him with their children saying she wanted to come home and all he could do was stare.

Haley shuffled nervously under his gaze. She stood there for what felt like eternity, but in reality were probably only minutes. She closed her eyes tightly willing the tears not to fall before opening them again. Just as she was about to turn around he finally spoke.

"Really?" He whispered in disbelief, scrunching his eyebrows as he stared at her.

Haley's face softened hearing the disbelief in his voice. She felt a small pain in her heart knowing that they could have been together long before this if she wouldn't have been so stubborn.

"Really!" She told him confidently with a beaming smile on her face before he stepped aside so she could push the stroller inside.

"You're really here it's not a dream?" He asked in a childlike voice as he reached out to cup her cheek.

"It's not a dream I promise," She told him leaning into his touch before standing on her tiptoes and meeting his lips with hers, before pulling back and finally seeing the old sparkle back in his eyes.

"God I missed you," He said before wrapping his strong, muscular arms around her and squeezing her against him securely, his face in the crook of her neck as he missed the smell of her. The tears Haley had been holding in fell rapidly as she hugged him back just as fiercely.

"So I'm guessing you don't want the divorce than?" Haley asked her grip loosing as he looked at her before crashing his lips to hers.

"What do you think?" He asked her huskily when they pulled apart breathlessly.

"Good cause I ripped them up," she told him with a smile.

"God I love you Hales so much baby," he told her with his whole heart and looking deep in her eyes.

"Well that's good because I love you too Nathan so much," she said before kissing him again. The two were in their own make out session with the door open and the stroller in front of them when a loud wail broke them apart.

Breaking away with their foreheads touching Haley mumbled, "Well we know he's your son he needs all the attention on him."

Nathan let out a deep-throated laugh as Haley moved away and picked up their son. Holding him in her arms she rocked back and forth making shushing noises before the little baby fell back asleep.

She placed him back in the stroller as Nathan closed the door and she led him to the couch.

"I don't want you to live here." He told her seriously seeing her face drop at those words. She stood up with her hands on her hips and glared at him. "Fine I mean why would you want me when you could have Rachel," Haley said angrily.

Nathan smirked at her before standing up and reaching her arm holding it so she couldn't get away. "I don't want you to live here because you already have the babies room done in your apartment and I'm moving in there with you. And how many times do I have to tell you huh?! I don't want Rachel when I have the most amazing wife ever!" He told her looking deep into her big brown doe eyes.

Haley just looked at him in disbelief. Here he had me thinking he didn't want me anymore and then he goes and says the sweetest thing she thought shaking her head. "You Nathan Royal Scott are lucky I love you," she said pulling his head down for a kiss.

"You know I should probably start packing," He told her before grinning mischievously.

"Why are you grinning?" Haley asked on guard.

"Well I think I should start in the bedroom and my wife should help me pack," he told her before grabbing her hand and leading her to his room.

"What about the babies Nathan?" Haley asked laughing.

"Uh Hales I don't think they should watch," Nathan told her while raising an eyebrow then bringing her back in his arms and kissing her passionately, before trailing his lips to her jaw and kissing her neck. Haley struggled breathing and almost gave in before she remembered the doctor hadn't cleared her yet to have sex.

"Nathan," She tried saying but it came out more in a moan.

"Mhmm," He asked trying to unbutton her shirt.

"We can't do this," she said pushing him away.

"Why?" He whined looking at her with the puppy dog eyes she normally couldn't resist. "The babies are sleeping and I promise to make it worth your while," he said smirking before going back to kissing her neck.

"Nathan," she said taking his face and making him look at her. "I haven't been cleared by the doctor yet. Which means we can't make love until I do." She said seriously as he groaned.

"But it's been 7 months" he complained. "Why do you have to be cleared?" he asked pouting.

"Because I just had two babies so you mister need to deal with it since you knocked me up!" She said with a smile as her eyes laughed in amusement at him being so frustrated even if she wanted it just as much.

"Fine but you are so making up for it when you're cleared," he growled before storming off to the bathroom.

"Where you going?" Haley asked biting her lip to keep from laughing.

"To take a very cold shower," he yelled grumpily as she walked in the kitchen to get a glass of water and calm herself down.

Nathan parked his car in front of the apartment building. It had been a week now since he moved into Haley's bigger apartment. He had just finished his marketing class and left campus as soon as he could. Who would have thought a year ago that Nathan Scott would be in a hurry to get home to be with his lovely wife and children? Even going to practice was breaking his heart somewhere and he was really happy that practice had been cancelled tonight, since he was going to surprise Haley with a romantic dinner. He knew it was going to be hard to make her leave the flat, but he was good with persuasion he thought with a smile.

Each time she had to leave for school it was like someone was ripping her heart out and even if they hired a nanny full of fantastic references Haley still had trouble to let go.

"They're half of my heart Nathan!" She said sadly while pouting the first day she went back to class.

"Yeah…" Said Nathan seriously "I know Angel and I feel bad having to leave the kids too but we need to get an education."

"Still…" Said Haley stubbornly still pouting when Nathan parked the car in front of Haley's literature building.

"Come on smile…Look Luke's waiting for you." He said pointing to Lucas waiting for Haley. "By the way…why are the kids only half your heart?" He finally asked curiously.

Haley finally smiled. "Because you are the other half Doofus!" She said kissing him.

Nathan was brought back to reality by a voice behind him.

"Umm…Can I go up please?" Asked Damien to Nathan who was standing in the middle of the hallway, so Damian couldn't get up the stairs.

Nathan let him pass without a word. Haley told him everything about Damien's revelation and she was still pretty upset and hurt with him. She felt betrayed, but a part of Nathan couldn't stop to feel grateful towards Damien, maybe he wasn't a complete waste after all.

Nathan passed Damien's flat and stopped, before he walked back and knocked on the door.

Damien opened the door, not expecting to find Nathan in front of it.

"What do you want Scott?" Asked Damien suspiciously.

"Can I come in?" Asked Nathan looking down the corridor, he didn't want to upset Haley.

"Right! I'm going to let you in!" Said Damien with sarcasm. "You know I'm not that hot on getting beaten up."

"I'm not going to beat you up West…" Said Nathan sincerely. "I…I just want to talk to you for a minute."

Damien looked at him for a second and finally let him in.

"So…" Said Damien closing the door.

"I just wanted to…I just wanted to thank you." Said Nathan uncomfortably.

"You what?" Asked Damien facing Nathan surprised. "You want to thank me?" He asked with disbelief.

"Well Yeah…" Said Nathan shrugging. "You could have taken advantage of the situation. I had no way to prove that nothing happened between Rachel and I, but you stepped up and revealed everything to Haley even if you knew she would reject you after that." Added Nathan nicely.

"I did it for her," said Damien trying to sound as detached as he could, but Nathan could see he was hurting.

"Right…"Said Nathan nodding. "Just so you know she's hurt right now, but she'll forget eventually." Said Nathan nonchalantly walking to the door. He turned around and laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Asked Damien more hurt than angry.

"It's just really ironic you know. Haley's sure you didn't change and that you're a bad guy because you revealed your plan to her, but in fact…" Nathan stopped and sincerely smiled at Damien. "You did change BECAUSE you revealed your plan. Haley was right all along, trust can change people." He added sincerely impressed.

"Is that supposed to make me feel better?" Asked Damien honestly.

"Not really no…but I thought you should know." Said Nathan putting his hand on the handle.

"How are the babies doing?" Asked Damien with real concern. He didn't want to show he cared, but he had to overcome his damn pride that destroyed all the good things he ever had in life.

Nathan looked at Damien and smiled. "They're great, just perfect…two little angels." He added blissfully happy.

Damien's heart tightened seeing all this joy on Nathan's face. It could have been him 3 years ago but he made the wrong decision. You're always making the wrong decision, bad choices! He thought angrily.

Nathan could see the deep sadness in Damien's eyes and it kind of reminded himself when he thought he lost it all. Maybe we are more alike that I thought we were, Nathan thought with compassion. "You know" Nathan finally said, "maybe it's worth the shot to come totally clean with Haley."

Damien frowned. "What?"

"I'll deny it if it ever comes out but you were a pretty good friend to her and I'm sure that if she got to know the real you again and the reasons of your attitude she'd forgive you because I'm sure she misses you too." Nathan took a deep breath. "You're not that terrible."

Damien smiled.

Nathan grimaced. "I got to go now." He said uncomfortable. "But talk to Haley…You've got nothing to lose right?" Added Nathan leaving the flat.

Damien sat on his sofa and stared at the TV, which was off. "What do you have to lose?" He asked out loud. "You don't have anything left anyways." He added sadly. I miss my friend. He thought surprised to see Haley as a friend. She was good for him, she helped him face his future and it was priceless.

Nathan walked in the door to their apartment. "Hales?" He yelled questionably wondering where she was.

"In the nursery," Haley shouted back as she finished changing Kelsey's diaper. "There's you go baby," Haley cooed to the newborn.

"Hi baby," Nathan said kissing Haley before picking up Daniel and rocking him in his arms. "How's my big boy?" Nathan asked looking down at the blue-eyed baby in his arms.

"What are you doing home so early?" Haley asked confused as she picked up Kelsey and sat in the white rocking chair next to the window.

"Practice was cancelled, but I was thinking maybe we could go out to dinner tonight." Nathan told her hopefully.

"Nathan we have two little babies they're not going to behave at a restaurant." Haley said rolling her eyes naively.

"I know that Hales, but I was thinking just the two of us," He told her raising an eyebrow.

"And what about the babies?" Haley asked not wanting to part from them.

"But I just want to spend some time with my sexy wife," Nathan whined.

"Nathan we have two kids we can't just go out to dinner because you feel like it," Haley said biting her lip. Although I would love to just spend time with him she thought.

Nathan looked down and saw Daniel was sleeping so he put him back in his crib before walking over to the rocking chair and leaning down close to Haley's ear. "I promise I'll make it worth your while," Nathan said huskily.

Haley almost moaned as his breath hit her sensitive flesh. "What about the babies?" She asked weakly knowing that she was almost about to give in. She thought about how she had a doctors appointment earlier and he finally gave her the go ahead to be intimate with her husband again. Nathan had no idea about the appointment though.

"The nanny," Nathan told her crouching down in front of her. "Come on Hales I just want it to be the two of us. We could both use the time alone," He tried persuading. "We could even have Lucas and Brooke come over and watch the nanny," He tried as a last resort.

Haley closed her eyes contemplating. Well the nanny has watched the babies before and I do miss his skilled hands, she thought biting her lip before opening her eyes and seeing the desperate plea in his baby blue orbs in front of her.

"Okay," she finally said caving in as she chuckled watching Nathan's eyes light up like a kid in a candy store.

"Okay you stay right here and I will make all the arrangements," Nathan told her practically running out of the room.

After calling the nanny and making sure she wasn't busy, he called the restaurant and made a reservation for two and then called his cousin to tell him to come over later and check on the nanny.

After he finished calling everyone he went back into the nursery. "Okay Mrs. Scott our reservation is at 7 tonight so you need to go get ready and I'll clean up in here," He told her taking Kelsey from her arms.

"Someone's a little bossy," Haley said raising an eyebrow in mock annoyance.

"You know you like it," Nathan said cockily.

"Maybe," Haley said walking up to him before standing on her tiptoes. "But I know you love it when I take control too," She whispered seductively as Nathan's jaw dropped before walking out of the room making sure her hips swayed.

"God that woman's gonna be the death of me," He whispered into the room before placing Kelsey in her crib and starting to clean up the room.

2 hours later a knock sounded on the door as Nathan who was already ready was sitting on the couch waiting impatiently for Haley to finish getting ready. Standing up he walked to the door and answered it seeing the middle aged woman on the other side.

"Hello Bethany how are you?" Nathan asked politely ushering the older woman inside.

"I'm good Mr. Scott. Now where are the little angels?" She asked taking off her coat and putting it over a chair.

"They're both sleeping. We should be home 10:30 at the latest. Don't forget to make yourself comfortable and their food in the fridge if you get hungry," He told her before walking into his and Haley's bedroom and seeing her putting on her heels. "You ready?" He asked coming into the bedroom.

"Yep," Haley said slipping on the other heel and standing up. She twirled around and he gave a low whistle.

"Why Mrs. Scott you look breathtaking," He told her checking her out. She was wearing a black little dress that made his mouth water and showed off her new curves.

The two walked into the nursery to say goodbye to the babies before leaving.

"Bye you two we'll miss you," Haley whispered the sleeping infants.

"Be good," Nathan told them before leading Haley into the living room.

"Hello Bethany," Haley said with a smile.

"Hello Mrs. Scott excited about your night out?" Bethany asked nicely.

"Yes. Now you remember where the emergency numbers are and everything?" Haley asked nervously.

"Yes." Bethany replied trying to hold in a chuckle. She had been babysitting for so long she knew that Haley was just nervous leaving her little ones.

"Okay and don't forget to call our cell phones if you need us. It won't be a bother at all," Haley told her seriously as Nathan rolled his eyes beside her.

"Mrs. Scott go out and enjoy yourself. Everything will be taken care here just fine," Bethany reassured.

The three said good-bye as Haley and Nathan made their way to the restaurant. The car ride there was a silent, but comfortable journey as Nathan held her hand the whole way, each kept sneaking glances at the other.

They got to the restaurant 15 minutes later and walked in holding hands to the podium. "I have a reservation under Scott," Nathan told the server who checked their name and then led them to their seats and pulling out the chairs for the couple before leaving.

"Hello my name is Carrie and I will be your waitress. Now may I start you off with a beverage?" Their waitress asked as she looked at the two before her eyes locked onto Nathan and she batted her eyes while Nathan just groaned at her staring at him.

"I'd like an ice tea and so would my wife," Nathan told her emphasizing on the word wife as Haley just grinned at the girl who in returned scowled at Haley.

As soon as Carrie had left Haley busted out in laughter. "I guess I can't take you anywhere can I?" She asked jokingly.

"Well you know I'm sexy Hales," Nathan replied cockily. "But you're the only woman for me. Always and forever," he told her seriously, holding her hand across the table and interlocking their fingers before running his thumb up and down her hand.

Before they could continue talking Carrie came back and placed their drinks in front of them, but Nathan never stopped staring at Haley lovingly.

"Do you know what you want?" She asked Haley in annoyance.

"Yes I'll have the chicken Alfredo," Haley replied looking at her before gazing back at Nathan.

"I'll have the steak dinner with mashed potatoes and green beans," Nathan told the waitress never letting his eyes leave Haley.

"It will be right up," Carrie told them before huffing loudly and stomping off.

"I don't think she likes not having your attention," Haley said with a smile.

"Well I'm an important man. I can't just give my attention to anyone," He told her cockily.

"Oh really?" Haley asked in mock disbelief.

"Yep only three people are lucky enough right now," He told her.

"And who are they?" She asked playing along.

"You, Daniel and Kelsey," He told her seriously.

"Such the charmer aren't you?" Haley asked with a smile.

"You haven't even seen my A game yet," He told her with a smirk.

"Lord help me if that's true" she said putting her hand over her heart in mock terror. "Wait what do you mean right now?" Haley asked curiously raising an eyebrow.

"Cause I plan on knocking you up again," Nathan answered cheekily and had to stop a chuckle as Haley looked at him in shock and disbelief.

Before Haley could respond Carrie was back with their food. She basically threw Haley's in front of her before gently placing Nathan's plate in front of him and trying to show him her cleavage and puffed out a breath when he looked away.

She clomped away again as Nathan just shook his head. What else could he do to show he wasn't interested in her he thought to himself.

Haley ignored her knowing that Nathan wasn't interested and took a big bite out of her chicken Alfredo.

"Mhmm," she moaned as the flavors swirled in her mouth and Nathan just looked at her in shock while trying to calm himself down.

""What? I'm hungry," Haley said innocently, secretly trying to hold the laughter in at the lust filled gaze he was giving her because of her moan.

"Yea me too, but I would prefer something else," he told her huskily as Haley's cheeks flushed.

"Well maybe for dessert," she told him seductively slipping off her heel and running her foot up his leg as Nathan's eyes got big as saucers.

"Uh Hales why are you being so mean and teasing?" He asked her pouting like a little kid.

"Oh did I um forget to tell you I went to the doctors and got the all clear today?" Haley asked innocently while scratching her head and trying to hold in the laughter.

"What the hell are we doing here than?" He asked bolting out of his seat.

Haley let a bubble of laughter escape as she looked in his eyes sparkling in excitement. "But I just got my food," she whined.

He walked over to her chair and dipped down to whisper in her ear. "I promise to make it worth your while," he repeated from earlier before kissing her jaw.

"You so don't play fair," she pouted. "Fine but call your wanna be girlfriend over so we can at least take our food with us."

Nathan saw Carrie and motioned her to their table. Carrie practically ran to Nathan. "Yes?" She asked her eyes gleaming.

"Can we get two boxes and the check please?" He asked as she ran off to get them. She came back 2 seconds later with the boxes and the check in her hands.

"You know if you two are fighting she can just take a cab to her house," Carrie told him seductively running a hand up and down Nathan's arm.

Haley glared at her fed up with putting up with her crap. "Yea sorry to burst your bubble but see my husband wants to go so we can have hot married sex. He's not interested in woman who throw themselves at him like you," Haley told her with a huge smile as Nathan looked down and smirked at his feisty wife.

"We should go," Nathan said wrapping his arm around Haley. "By the way Carrie you never had a chance," he told her before they paid and left.
