AN:

Hello friends and readers. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get this update out. I truly have been working on it. You honestly wouldn't believe how much I've worked on this particular chapter. I had it ready and the beta was going over it and she pointed out some things to me so it was back to the drawing board. I rewrote nearly the entire chapter. Jack comes into the story in this chapter and of course… when Jack's around… things get interesting.

For any fiction writers who may be reading this I challenge you to work on your updates as much as possible. Fan fiction has been dead lately from lack of updates. I love reading fiction as much as I love writing it. As sad as that is, with no OTH coming on during the hiatus and summer, fiction is what keeps NH alive for us obsessed souls.

Ok I've run my big mouth enough… on with the story…..

Chapter 25

Figured You Out

I like your pants around your feet
I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease

And I love the places that we go
And I love the people that you know
And I love the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I love the powder on your nose

Ooooh
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed,
While you put me to the test
I like the white stains on your dress

And I love the way you pass the check
And I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self respect
While you're passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

I love your pants around your feet
And I love the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While you're looking up at me
You're like my favorite damn disease

And I hate the places that we go
And I hate the people that you know
And I hate the way you can't say no
Too many long lines in a row
I hate the powder on your nose

And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out
And now I know who you are
It wasn't that hard
Just to figure you out

Nickleback

It had been two weeks since the anniversary trip. Nathan and Haley were sitting at the table with Jamie going over some of the work he had learned in school earlier that day. Luckily Haley had not had any more bouts with morning sickness, for which Nathan was thankful, and both of them had chalked it up to being on the boat and motion sickness kicking in.

"Jamie, you did great with those words buddy. You're reading so well for your age." Haley smiled as she reached over to ruffle the young boy's hair.

"Mama?"

"Yeah buddy?"

"When's Nanny Deb going to bring Cammie back?"

"They should be here soon Jamie why?"

"I miss my sister" Jamie said with a smile.

Nathan smirked at his wife. 'Yeah his son was pretty awesome. He had the Scott charm gene for sure'

"We miss her too Jamie" Nathan said to his son. He looked over to his wife and decided they had waited long enough. Deb had actually taken Cammie with her to see Skills, so Nathan and Haley could tell Jamie about his new brother or sister that was on the way.

At Nathan's insistent eyes, Haley decided that it couldn't be put off any longer. "Jamie, listen buddy, ah you're dad and I have something we need to tell you"

"You're going to have another baby aren't you?" Jamie said.

Haley's eyes searched Nathan's face. 'Had he already told Jamie?' She looked back to her son, and finally sighed heavily. "Why would you say that Jamie?"

"Because I heard Nanny Deb telling Uncle Skills that she was too young to be a grandmother again"

Nathan and Haley couldn't hide their shock, and for just Nathan? He couldn't hide his slight anger at his Mom in that moment either. 'Why in the hell would she talk about something like that and not make sure that Jamie wasn't around? She knew they hadn't told him yet.'

"Besides" Jamie continued, "I think it's great. I need a little brother this time though. Cammie's going to be beautiful and I'm going to have my big brother hands full keeping the boys away from her. I'm going to need a lot of help." Jamie smirked at his Dad.

…….

"Luke I can't believe that Lindsay kept her pregnancy from you man" Nathan said to his brother. They had been playing a game of pick up at the Rivercourt and finally stopped to sit on the picnic table to talk.

"Nathan I have officially become Dan Scott. Do you realize that?"

"Come on Lucas. You could never be Dan."

"Nathan you don't understand Peyton's pregnant too."

"What?"

"You heard me Nathan. I have gotten two girls pregnant at one time. Tell me I'm not Dan now!"

"Lucas as long as you don't turn your back on either of your children you won't become Dan and you know it."

"Yeah well Lindsay's up in New York. I'll never get to see that child. It will appear that I don't want anything to do with it."

"Lucas, you better do everything in your power to be there for that kid. Do you hear me?"

"Yeah"

"So what are you going to do about Peyton?"

"I'm going to marry her."

…….

Later that night Nathan and Haley are sitting on the couch. Nathan decides it's time for them to talk about everything that's happening but Haley begins the conversation before he gets a chance to start it off.

"I can't believe Peyton and I are pregnant at the same time Nathan. Two Scott's born within three months of each other again?"

"Trythree" Nathan muttered, realizing his wife didn't understand what he had said. "Ah yeah, Hales? There's something I need to tell you."

"What?"

"Hales? Lindsay's pregnant too baby" Nathan said sheepishly before his eyes found hers.

"WHAT?" Haley asked. "Please tell me you are kidding"

"No I'm afraid not Hales. Peyton and Lindsay are both pregnant, baby"

"Poor Lucas! How is he handling this?"

"He thinks he's turned into Dan" Nathan said shrugging his shoulders. Finally unable to hold the chuckle in any longer he snickered a little. "Who would have thought it? I mean 7 years ago everyone would have been betting on me to be little Dan before you came along"

……

Brooke sat up quickly and then reached for her drawer to the nightstand beside her bed. Pulling out the calendar she was praying she was wrong. As she flipped the pages to the current month and saw the little mark on the date her hand came up to her mouth. "Oh my god"

……

Nathan had finally gotten Haley to talk to him again. She'd gotten mad that he had insinuated that Lucas was Dan Jr.

"Hales are you ok now, baby? You understand that I didn't mean that the way it sounded?"

"Yeah" she said as she stood up and held her hand out for him to place his in. When Nathan stood up too, she wrapped her arms around his torso. "I love you Nathan" she quietly said.

"I love you too baby" he whispered against her hair at her temple. "Hales just think we're having another baby" he said as he moved his hand to her flat abdomen. "I can't wait Haley. I want as many versions of us as we can produce baby."

"Nathan?" she whispered and pulled away to look at him.

"Yeah" Nathan said trying to swallow past the dryness in his throat that her look was causing.

"I want you"

"God, I love you" he breathlessly moaned as she claimed his lips and began walking them backwards towards the stairs. When Nathan felt his feet bump against the bottom step he sat down and Haley immediately crawled into his lap, never removing her lips from his.

"I want you right here on these steps Nathan. Make love to me" she whispered against his lips.

That was Nathan's undoing. Any resolve he might have had about taking his wife in the open recesses of their home were now completely gone as he lifted his hand and began unbuttoning her dress. Once he had pulled the garment over her head his mouth fell to her exposed cleavage that was pushed up on top of the lacy bra cups. Haley moved her hand to the back of his head holding him to her as she grinded her hips against his erection that was situated between her thighs.

"Hales? Baby you have to stop or this is not going to last. I can't…." Nathan was breathless. His control waning fast.

She smiled as she lifted herself off of his lap and stuck her hand out to pull him up. When he was on his feet she helped him out of his shirt, shorts and boxers until he stood in front of her in all his naked glory. As her eyes traveled to his throbbing member her tongue came out to wet her dry lips.

Nathan closed his eyes. 'God he loved for her to look at him that way.' He was so glad that she was doing that again. He could see her hunger, love and passion and it reverberated through him with the power of a missile.

Once they were both naked she placed her tiny hands on his shoulders and tenderly pushed him back to sit on the steps. She turned her back to him and straddled his lap. As she reached between her legs to take him in her hands his eyes again closed at the sensation. She placed him at her entrance and slowly sank down on him.

"Oh god! Hales!" he moaned.

Haley used the step as leverage for her legs to move her body up and down to create a delicious friction for both of them. With Nathan's hand on her waist guiding her along his shaft, both were in delirium from the pleasure they each received.

The next morning

Haley took the bag that she had their breakfast in, in her hand as she got out of the Range Rover. As she walked onto the Rivercourt she looked around seeing that Nathan hadn't made it there from his run yet. Slowly she moved over to find the picnic table that would serve as their breakfast table, but as she sat down, her eyes widened.

"Jack!" she said.

The young boy quickly sat up when he realized he had company and looked at his English teacher. "Mrs. Scott? What are you doing here?"

"Jack I could ask you the same thing. Why are you sleeping on a park bench?"

Jack was holding his head down to try to block Haley's vision. He didn't want her to see the bruises or his swollen eye. But Haley being the loving person that she was, moved around to sit in front of Jack and quickly noticed.

"Jack, who did this to you?"

"Mrs. Scott…"

"NO! Jack I want to know who did this to you"

"Things just get a little intense with my brother sometimes that's all."

"Have you eaten?"

"No mam"

"Here" Haley said as she handed Jack the paper bag that held two egg omelet biscuits. "Take these" she said.

As she sat and watched the young boy wolf down the breakfast sandwiches her heart nearly broke. It took him five minutes flat to eat what she and Nathan would have taken twenty minutes to finish.

"Let's get you home buddy" she whispered.

As she placed her arm around the young man's shoulder and led him to her SUV the fury within her raged.

…..

Haley pulled the Range Rover up in front of Jack's house. She noticed that the closer they got to his home the more nervous he became. When she cut the car off she turned to her passenger.

"Jack, sit here ok? I'm going to talk to your brother for a second and I'll be back for you"

"Mrs. Scott I don't think that's such a good idea. I mean my brother X he's… he's just got some stuff going on, you know?"

"I promise everything will be fine Jack" Haley smiled as she took hold of his hand.

She moved to the porch on the front of this house. When she reached the door, she knocked several times while she waiting for someone to answer the door. 'I'm not so sure this was a good idea, Haley' she thought to herself as the door opened and the person staring back at her frowned.
