Never Let Me Go
Chapter 7
"We've lived in LA for alot longer then i ever expected." Nathan admitted later on that night.
"But its what works for all of us. What's wrong with it?" Peyton asked.
"I've been wanting to move back to Tree Hill. Think about it."
"Do you really want Elizabeth growing up in LA. Instead of Tree Hill?" Nathan asked.
"I can't say i haven't thought about it."
"It would be nice to be closer to my dad. Dan and Deb."
"Plus having Elizabeth experience Tree Hill is something that has to happen." Peyton replied.
"This is going alot better then i imagined."
"Since you're so on board. I bought a house for us."
"I know what you need and want in a house and kept that in mind." Nathan explained. Handing her his laptop.
Peyton looked through various photos of the house from the outside in. She soon handed the laptop back.
"I love everything about it. Let's move back to Tree Hill." Peyton replied.

Hours later
In the morning
Haley plated bacon. Scrambled eggs. And chocolate chip pancakes. On her plate and Sadie's. Before walking over and calling her at the end of the stairs.
Minutes later. Sadie appeared. Wearing her aunt Brooke's children's clothing line.
"Morning momma. We learned about our bodies and how babies are made in health class last week." Sadie announced.
"Do you have questions about what was talked about?" Haley asked.
"I know i come from you you but what about the other half of me."
"My dad didn't i have one?" Sadie asked.
Haley finished her coffee. And poured herself another cup.
"You should eat while its hot." Haley said.
She knew at some point the question would happen. And she had planned what she would say.
But looking at her daughter's face into her eyes.
The girl trusted and believed her fully.
And that was something Haley took seriously.
"Yes you had a father but he decided a long time ago that he wanted a life seperate from us. From you." Haley proclaimed.
"Why didn't he want to stay with me? Did i do something to make him leave?" Sadie questioned.
Haley swallowed hard. She locked eyes with her daughter.
"You existing was all you did. You're father's choice to stay away was his own. I don't want you to feel bad or guilty about it."
"You are innocent. He's missed out on the greatest kid." Haley reassured her. As she pulled her into a hug.
