AN: Ok guys, here is the chapter you've been waiting for. The reviews have dwindled tremendously. I guess I lost a lot of readers in my short hiatus (well shorter than one on the show at any rate). I'm slightly disappointed but I was getting so many more before that. If the reviews pick up I'll have another Chapter out by Wednesday of this week. I'm sure you all want to know exactly what Lindsay has come back to say and how she'll react to Peyton's news too. SO REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW…. Help me keep my motivation…..

Chapter 24

Come Undone

There are ways I've fallen
There are times I've been so weak
There are moments when I hear redemption calling
But I'm too far down to speak

[Chorus]
Come sweet fire of mercy
Cover up my skin
Warm me like the sun
Won't you let me in
To come, come undone

There are scars that I've been hiding
There are ghosts that I do not claim
There are closets I do not care to open
They open all the same

Nathan's heart jumped in his chest. The last time Haley had told him that she was pregnant with Cammie. 'God could she be pregnant again already' he thought. 'Oh please let it be so' as he smiled.

"Hales, the last time you said that to me do you remember what you had to tell me" he smiled?

Haley bit her bottom lip and her eyes darted away from him.

Nathan noticed her nervousness and lifted his hand to place it on her chin. Lifting gently his actions forced her head to align with his own. Finally she lifted her eyes and searched his. "Nathan…"

"Hales come on; you can tell me anything baby. You know that" he smirked, mentally crossing his fingers as he waited for her news.

"You're right the last time I said that to you I was pregnant with Cammie and I know she's only three months old but…."

Nathan saw her eyes fill with tears and felt her body tremble.

"Haley? What is it?" He too was beginning to get nervous. What if it was something bad? What if something was wrong with her? She wouldn't be this nervous over a pregnancy would she?

"I'm pregnant" she whispered, refusing to meet his eyes.

He placed his palms on each of her cheeks and lifted her head to see her face. "You're pregnant?" he smiled. "Well that's just the news I was hoping for" he chuckled.

Haley opened her eyes and searched his again. Surely he wasn't serious. Was he really happy about this? "What?" she whispered.

"You heard me. My fingers have been crossed for two months. We haven't been using any type of protection Hales. This isn't exactly a surprise" he smiled. "Wait a minute. You thought I was going to be mad."

"I wasn't sure if you'd want this, this soon" she smiled.

"Oh, Haley!" Nathan knew this was all his fault. He knew his reaction was horrible when she told him about Jamie. He pulled her into his arms. "Baby I couldn't be happier" he said against her lips, moving further to take them with his own.

Haley felt his fingers on her waist, lifting her and placing her across him. He pulled away from her mouth just slightly to whisper "We're pregnant. AGAIN!" he said just before he reclaimed her mouth. As he pulled away he gazed into her eyes. "I'm so turned on right now I can barely think" he mumbled as he returned his lips to hers.

After several minutes Nathan moved his mouth over to her jaw bone, working his way to her neck. He found her pulse point and sucked upon it feverishly for several seconds and then smoothed the area with his tongue, suddenly his urge to be inside of his beautiful wife overwhelmed him. He lifted her again and placed himself at her entrance. Pulling down on her shoulders, while he thrusted his hips up, he tore into her. "I can't wait Hales" he explained.

Haley couldn't help the sensations racking her body. Nathan had never taken her this way. As she felt him thrusting up against her and lifting her tiny body up and down on his shaft, she felt her orgasm nearing. "NATHAN!"

"Come on baby, I'm almost there too" he panted out as he continued the rhythm. "God Haley! God baby! You're so fucking tight"

As Nathan felt his wife's scorching center move up and down him, he leaned up to claim her lips. "I love you" he whispered just before his mouth took over hers. "God I love you Haley" he shouted.

"Nathan, I can't…. I can't" she whispered as she continued to be bounced up and down by his hands on her waist.

As he felt her exploding around him, he released a torrent of cum deep inside her. "Oh GOD!" he yelled.

As Haley lay down on his chest, Nathan kissed the top of her head. "WOW" he whispered.

"Yeah, WOW" she said quietly.

"Hales?"

"Yeah?"

"I've never been happier baby."

"After all we went through with the pregnancy with Cammie I was so scared you would be upset"

"No Haley, I'm not upset baby. This is so amazing" he said as he threw the sheet back over her while she still lay upon his chest. They were in the middle of the ocean and Nathan knew that no one was around but he wouldn't chance someone seeing his beautiful wife's bare body. He held her tightly to him. "I love you, Haley James Scott, always….

"And forever" she finished for him as he smiled.

…….

"I'm going to have to call you my baby daddy. I'm having your baby Lucas Scott." Peyton said in a rushed statement just before a light chuckle.

"What?"

"You heard me. I'm pregnant Luke."

"I love you!" he said.

Peyton laughed to prevent herself from crying. Lucas wasn't upset he was happy. "I love you too Luke" she whispered.

…

Later that night as Nathan and Haley rested in the cabin of the boat, he held her against him, while moving his hand lightly over the lower part of her abdomen. 'A baby, we're having another baby' he thought and then again kissed the top of her head. His heart swelled with love for this woman. How in the world could she have thought he'd be upset? He wanted a lifetime with Haley and as many version of them as they could create. He mentally still kicked his own ass for his juvenile reaction to her news the first time she was pregnant. He'd been eighteen years old and had his whole life in front of him. He was scared to death but as he thought back he knew Haley was too. He should never have treated her like it was all of her fault. They had made out ok through college with Luke's help. It hadn't been easy but they had done it. They had made it through together.

…..

Lucas and Peyton were lying in their bed. Lucas moved his hand over her still flat tummy. "I can't believe I'm going to be a Dad" he whispered.

"I know! I'm going to be a Mom Luke. A mother!" Peyton smiled.

"We're going to be ok Peyton. I love you!" he said just before claiming her lips.

……

"Brooke that was incredible" Julian said as he kissed the side of her head. "You're incredible"

"I know" she smiled. "I've been trying to tell you that for years. I'm glad you finally see it" she said as she giggled.

"Brooke, I love you" he said against her lips.

"I love you too! I'm so glad you're here Julian."

"Where else would I be?"

"You've been in New York for the last four months and before that California with Peyton"

"Brooke, my heart was here. You know that" he said as he moved between her legs. "I've always been with you" he said as he thrusted hard inside.

……….

Sunday morning, Nathan was making breakfast as Haley came into the monstrous kitchen. "Morning" she yawned.

"Morning baby" he said as he moved over to the island she was standing beside to kiss her. As he was about to wrap his arms around her, she placed her hand over her mouth and took off running towards the bathroom.

"Damnit" Nathan fussed as he took the frying pan off of the stove turned off the heat and then ran behind Haley down the same hallway she had just taken. He found her with her head hanging over the toilet. He reached to pull her hair back and continued to smooth it away from her forehead as she repeatedly got sick into the offensive porcelain. He could feel his heart breaking. He hated it that he couldn't ever make this better on her. It was guilt he'd never be able to stop carrying. "Shhh I'm right here Hales" he whispered as he heard her whimper.

….

Lucas came into the kitchen of his house and saw Peyton standing over the stove. "You're up early" he yawned.

"Yeah I was so excited I couldn't sleep" she said back to him as he placed his arms around her middle.

"Are you feeling ok?" Lucas said against her neck.

"Yeah I feel fine" she said.

………

Nathan got Haley to lie back down. He moved in beside her after he had taken care of the dishes and made her a plate to eat later. He'd had no idea the morning sickness was as bad as it was. 'How in the hell has she been hiding that?' he thought. He held her against him as he wished pregnancy was easier for her. He felt even guiltier for wanting this as he watched her repeatedly get sick earlier. If there was any way Nathan would take it all away from her. He loved her with his total being and he hated to see her sick or hurt or unhappy.

He'd been holding her for at least two hours when she finally opened her eyes again. "Hi" he whispered.

"Hi" she said.

"Feeling better?" he asked.

"Yeah I think so. I'm sorry, Nathan. I wish it wasn't like that." \

He leaned his head against hers. "I know baby. I just…."

……

"Brooke, who's in the kitchen?"

"That's my foster daughter. She's fifteen. Her name is Sam"

Julian couldn't hide the look of shock on his face. "You have a foster daughter?"

"Well yeah. She's been staying here for a couple of months now." Brooke shrugged, failing to miss the look on Julian's face.

…..

Lucas and Peyton were washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen after they'd finished eating breakfast.

"Peyton?"

"Yeah?"

"I have something that I have to tell you" Lucas quietly and calmly said.

"What? What is it?" she asked.

…..

"Nanny Deb, when will my Mom and Dad be back home? Jamie asked.

"I don't know Jamie. They didn't give me a specific time" she smiled.

"Is Cammie up yet?"

"No Jamie she's not and you better not wake up your baby sister." Deb smiled as she ruffled his hair.

"Nanny Deb, I miss my parents" he said.

"I know you do buddy. Why don't we play a game or something until Cammie wakes up?"

"Ok" Jamie said as he jumped down from the stool and ran upstairs to his room.

……

Nathan had almost finished repacking their suitcase. They'd spent a glorious weekend on board the boat he'd rented, making love repeatedly, celebrating their seventh anniversary, talking about their children and the fact that another one was on the way.

He had driven it back to the marina after she had lain down this morning. When they had arrived he went below deck to check on Haley. The heavy sigh escaped his chest as he saw she was still asleep on the bed. She'd gotten sick three more times and still hadn't eaten anything. He'd forgotten how difficult this was to witness. Her face was pale and her eyes were slightly sunken in. She looked fragile and sickly. His heart ached as he watched her.

…..

"Luke, we have so much we have to do; the wedding and now the baby. God how will we finish it all… Oh and your movie, how's that going?"

"It's going to be ok, Peyton. We'll get it all done. I promise." He kissed her shoulder. "Thank you for understanding earlier."

"Luke, I appreciate your telling me. I can't believe Lindsay came her and told you she thought she was pregnant and hasn't called back to let you know anything. How can she do that?"

"I don't know Peyton. I really scared. I'm scared that I'm turning into Dan Scott"

"Oh Luke, you could never been Dan"

"This is the last thing I ever thought that I would have to face. The possibility of two girls being pregnant at once is… damn it."

"Lucas, do you regret me being pregnant?"

"Of course not Peyton, I just wish…"

"You just wish what?"

"I just wish we hadn't spent those years apart. I wish we'd been together the whole time. I never wanted to lose you Peyton" he said as he searched her eyes.

"You never lost me Lucas" she whispered. "My heart was always yours"

Suddenly the door opened. "Lindsay" they both said together.
