Hey everyone, thanks for reading my story I've been getting a lot of hit but not so many reviews if you think it's ok please let me know I know sometimes stories can start off slow and this is probably like that but I'm just writing for fun.
Oh and I keep forgetting the Disclaimer so here it is – I don't own one tree hill if I did I wouldn't be writing fanfic.
Enjoy the chapter – sorry it's not longer
Chapter Three - Nathan's PVO
"Go Dad" Jamie yells
We had, had a really good day so far. We spent a couple of hours at the dealership where I had some things to do then I told my assistant Chloe that I was having the rest of the day off. And Jamie and I went back to my apartment and watched a dvd. Then we called Luke and Skills and headed down to a local pizza place for lunch and now the four of us were hanging out at the rivercourt. Luke and I were playing one on one while Skills and Jamie watched.
"Hey what about me?" Luke shouts over at Jamie
"Sorry Uncle Lucas but I like Dad better" he says laughing "Uncle Skills can cheer for you though"
I laugh at my son and think about how great he is with people. That is something he gets from Haley, being open to everyone.
Stuck in my thoughts Lucas steals the ball off me and puts it effortlessly throw the ring. Jamie charges onto the court and steals the ball off Lucas and throws it across to me and I dunk it.
"Wow that was awesome, I wanna do that!" Jamie exclaims
"One day champ, One day" Skills says "Hey how about we head to the cafe for a bite to eat?"
"Sounds good I'm starving" Jamie said
The guys all started laughing and agreed so we went down to Karen's.
We got to the cafe and found a booth in the corner placed our orders and just sat round laughing and joking about the good times. That's when the door opened and in came the other two reasons I live in this world. Haley and Sophie had walked in with Peyton, Bevin and Bradley, Skills and Bevin's little boy he was about two now and seeing him always brought back memories of Jamie at that age.
"Hi Mum" Jamie said as the girls arrived at the booth
"Hey Sweetie, Did you have a good day?" Haley replied
"Yeah it was great"
"That's good I'm glad honey"
I excused myself from the booth and went in the back to see Karen. I found her there hanging out with Lily.
"Hey there guys" I said to let them know I was there.
"Nathan" Lily yelled as she came up and gave me a hug
"Hey Lily, Jamie and the others are out the front if you wanna go see them with your brother Lucas and Peyton"
"Okay cool" she said as she ran out
"How are you doing Nathan?" I turned and looked at Karen sitting at her desk and I went further in and took a seat.
"I have good days and bad days. How about you? I don't think that I could be like you and do it alone again. Don't get me wrong I love my kids and even though Hales and I aren't living together it still helps that there is two of us. You really are inspiring Karen"
"Thanks Nate, I also have good days and bad days, but then again I lost the love of my life and I can't get him back. You on the other hand, the love of your life is out front and you have every chance to go and get her back."
"I know Karen but Hales doesn't want me anymore I'm pretty sure she has moved on"
"Yeah pretty sure isn't good enough Nate. Keep at it, because I think you're wrong she still loves you I can tell" And with that she walked out of the office. I needed to get some space have some time to myself and really plan how to win Haley back. Just then my phone started to ring.
"Hey Mum, how are you? I was just thinking about you and come up to see you this week"
"That's wonderful Nate, we must have had the same thought as I was just ringing to ask you that very thing. Can you be up here tomorrow?" she questioned
"Sure that's fine mum is everything okay?" I asked her
"Yes darling everything is just fine, I just haven't seen my son in a while and thought that it was about time I did"
I laughed at her "I know, I know but I'll be there first thing tomorrow okay"
"Great I look forward to it, See you then. Love you Nate."
"Love you too mum" I said hanging up. She would know what to do she always did have a soft spot for Haley and of course she loved and spoiled her grandkids to pieces.
I headed back to the booth where the group was sitting and noticed that Haley was standing up saying goodbye to everyone.
"There you are dad I thought that we wouldn't get to say goodbye to you" Jamie said in a sad tone
"As if I would miss out on saying goodbye to my favorite kids ever!" I exclaimed
"But we are your only kids daddy" Sophie piped up
"That's why you are my favorite! Now come here and give me a hug goodbye because Daddy is going away for a little while" I said as Haley gave me a strange look.
"You will be back for next weekend when we come and stay though right?" Jamie questioned
"Of course I wouldn't miss it for the world."
"Awesome" Jamie said as both he and Sophie gave me a big hug
"Bye guys" I said
"Bye daddy, we love you" Sophie yelled as Haley led them out the door.
I sat back down at the table and the conversation turned to me.
"So Nate where are you off to on such short notice?" asked Bevin
"Just to see my mum for a couple of days" I replied
"Oh yeah I meant to ask the other day, How is she doing these day?" Peyton asked in a serious tone
"Yeah pretty good, I mean with Dan still in jail she is probably better off plus the beach house is perfect for her, because it's close enough to see her grandkids on a daily basis if she wanted too yet it still always feels like a holiday when you go up there." I said "Anyway It's about time I headed home to pack, because I want to get to mum's asap to have as much time with her as possible"
"Sure buddy, well when will we see you again?" Skills asked me
"Well I have the kids not this coming weekend but the one after so I'll be back before then"
"Okay Nate have a great time give our love to Deb" Luke says
"Will do man, But you know the number if you need me plus I'll have my mobile just in case. I sure that all will be fine." I say laughing and I wave at them and head out the door back to my apartment.
