4 years later

Clay was sitting on his couch drinking a cup of coffee looking over some paperwork that he had brought home from the office last night. It was Friday morning, and he was working from home since Logan was sick in bed. Logan was asleep in his room overcoming a cold that he had picked up at his daycare. Clay lived in a two bedroom apartment right outside of downtown New York City. After graduating from Duke, Clay moved to New York after getting a job at a sport's agency. Unlike his friend Nathan, playing professional basketball had never been his dream, so he quit playing after college and pursued being an agent instead. After working there for a couple of years, he decided to start his own firm and left the agency. This also allowed him to spend more time with Logan, who was now almost four years old.

The past few years had been really tough, but his friends were always there for him when he needed them. Lucas was now an author in Atlanta, but he visited whenever he could. On his last visit, he introduced Clay to his new girlfriend, Peyton. Nathan was currently playing basketball for the LA Lakers and also became Clay's first client when he started his own firm, so he saw him quite often. Nathan was living the bachelor lifestyle and refused to be tied down to any woman for a long period of time. Sometimes Clay wondered if he would ever finally settle down. As for Haley, she was now a teacher in Tree Hill, and Clay talked to her almost every day. After Quinn passed away, Haley helped out a lot with Logan, especially those first few months when Clay was more or less a walking zombie. He had always looked at her as his little sister, but she was also one of his best friends.

Clay had just finished looking over a contract for one of his new clients when his cell phone rang. "Good morning player, rough night?" he joked as he saw who was calling, "Did you at least get the girl's name this time?"

"Shut up man, I didn't even go out last night. Coach had us at the gym 'til late last night practicing, and my body feels like it has been ran over by a semi truck. I was actually calling to see if we were still on for next weekend?" Nathan asked, "I have practice Monday thru Thursday, but I can fly out Thursday night. By the way, how is the little man?"

"Yea, that sounds good. Logan is getting over his cold and should be well by Monday. I am working from home today, and we're taking it easy. I'm hoping he'll sleep for a few more hours this morning because he was really cranky yesterday afternoon. Haley called last night and he was crying the whole time I was talking to her," Clay replied.

Nathan sighed, "Speaking of Baby James, how is she doing? Still bossy as ever?"

"You know one of these days she's going to kick your butt for calling her that. You know she has always hated that nickname, but yet you still call her that," Clay laughed, "I'll let her know you said hello though next time I talk to her." Nathan and Haley had always had a love/hate relationship, mainly Haley despising Nathan, and Nathan always driving her crazy.

"I can't help that she gets so pissed off when I'm around her. I seriously think she still has a crush on me," Nathan answered, "I mean I can't really blame her. All the ladies want a piece of me."

"Whatever you have to tell yourself man. Anyway, I need to let you go, so I can get some work done before Logan wakes up," he said, "Call me Thursday after your practice and let me know your flight information."

"Alright man, tell my little man that his Uncle Nate says hello, and I'll see you guys soon," Nathan added before ending the call.

"Will do," he said before hanging up and getting back to work.

By the time Friday afternoon rolled around, Clay had been able to finish work and tend to Logan. Logan had woke up around noon but seemed to be in better mood than the day before. He was still running a slight fever, so Clay tried to keep him as clam as possible.

Clay was currently playing blocks with Logan on the floor when his cell phone rang. "Hey Haley Bob, how was class today?" he asked with a smile. She called him about the same time every day after school let out.

"Today went alright. I'm looking forward to the weekend though. How is my little buddy doing today? Is he still running a fever?" she wondered.

Clay stood up and walked to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water out of the fridge. "He only has a slight fever, but he is in a much better mood than yesterday. Sorry he was so fussy when you called," he apologized.

"No problem, I'm just glad that's he doing better. What else is going on? Have you talked to Luke or his loser brother lately?" she said.

"Luke is fine. I talked to him the other day and he's working on his new book. Nathan is doing well too. He called this morning and told me to tell you that he said hello. He's coming in town next weekend to hang out," he added.

Haley groaned, "I don't understand why you are friends with him."

"Would you like me to tell him anything? I know you don't really despise him as much as you let on," he commented. He always thought that Haley and Nathan would wind up together.

"Clay," she complained, "Nathan is a pig and a player. I have no interest in him. You can quit trying to make me like the guy. Besides, I actually have a date tonight."

"With who?" Clay questioned, "Where is he taking you? How old is he? What does he do?"

"Not that I'm required to give you this information, but he's another teacher at my school. This is his first year teaching in Tree Hill. His name is Chase, and before you go overprotective brother on me, he's taking me out to dinner. If things go well, I'll introduce you to him when you come down at the end of the month for Logan's birthday," Haley replied.

"Be careful and he better treat you right. I'll let you go, so you can get ready for your date," he stated.

Haley laughed, "I'll let you know how it went tomorrow. Give Logan a kiss for me."
