Chapter 13

When Nathan went back to Haley's apartment, the door was still unlocked since he had left earlier so he opened it and searched for Haley but she wasn't in the room. He was about to go to her bedroom when he saw her coming from the kitchen. He noticed her face was a little red, she had been crying.

Haley found him standing on her living room, she thought she was seeing things. She had spent so much time waiting for him to come back that any noise she heard she thought it was him.

"You came back." She whispered.

"Yeah." He replied softly.

"I was worried about where you did go." She confessed.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to worry you." He sighed rubbing the back of his head. "I just needed some time to think."

"I see." She said quietly, nodding her head.

"I'm so sorry Nathan, for everything."

"Hey hey, you don't have to apologize Haley. It was not your fault, the contrary, I cannot believe that bastard threatened you."

"Forget him. He's not worth it." She pleaded, shaking her head.

"But Haley-"

"Please, Nathan." Haley put her arms around him, hugging Nathan. She was so relieved to see him there back in her living room. She had been so worried waiting for him after she had told him the truth and saw him walk away.

"Okay." He finally conceded, resting his chin on her head.

"We have more important things to focus on." Haley reminded him. "We need to tell Brian." She was a little nervous to tell the truth to him but a big part of her was happy because now she was able to finally tell her son who his father was. And she had no doubts that Brian would be very happy with the news.

"Do you think we should call him?" Nathan asked.

"No. It's been too much for tonight, besides he's busy studying. I'm gonna tell him tomorrow." Haley stated.

"Can you give me a call before?"

"Of course."

Haley rubbed her eyes tiredly. "Come on, you should go sleep." Nathan said.

"Can you stay here with me for a while?"

"Yeah." He kissed her forehead and put his arms around her.

"Thank you." She murmured with her face buried into his chest.

After an exhausting day, the rest of the evening had been very relaxing for Haley. Nathan stayed with her for a while and they talked about their life when they had been apart from each other. Things they had been avoiding talking to each other but now there was nothing holding them back.

On the next day, Haley woke up feeling a lot better. Telling the truth to Nathan made Haley feel much more relieved, as much as it scared and it pained her to bring back all those memories and feelings, the aftermath had definitely been paid of.

She had woken up early to make breakfast for Brian and his friend because she knew that as soon as they were up, they'd go straight to her apartment to eat since Adam's mom didn't cook.

She was getting the table ready when she heard the voices of the boys coming from the other room.

"Go watch your hands first." She yelled, knowing they'd go straight to the kitchen.

Right after she had finished everything she saw the boys heading over to the kitchen, showing their hands to her. "All clean." Brian said.

"Good."

"Everything looks delicious." Brian commented looking at the table. He licked his lips involuntarily.

"And smells good, too!" Adam added, rubbing his hands together as he looked at all the food.

"Since you guys spent the whole night studying and didn't play video game at all," she winked at them knowing that her statement was probably not true. "I thought you two would probably wake up very hungry. So dig in."

Haley didn't have to say it twice.

Haley waited for Brian to come back from school so she could talk to him. First she had called Nathan asking if he could come over and he agreed in a hearbeat. He was feeling a bit anxious, he wanted Brian to know the truth soon but he didn't know how the boy would react.

Haley was waiting in the living room when she heard a knock on the door and went to open it.

"Hey." She greeted him.

"Hey. I came as soon as possible." He said before kissing her.

"It's fine. He's in his room right now."

"Are you going to tell him now?"

"That's the plan."

"Okay." He nodded his head. "Do you want me to go with you?" He asked.

"No. You stay here. I'll go talk to him first and then I'll call you, okay?"

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely."

He felt a little bit relieved. Nathan knew that Haley was ten times better with words than he was. She always knew the right way to say things, even the hardest ones. Even though he would like to go help her talk to their son, he would probably mess it up somehow. So he watched Haley go into Brian's bedroom and then he went to sit on the couch. All he could do was wait.

Haley knocked softly on the door and when she heard a response she opened the door a little. "Can I come in?" She asked to her son.

"Of course."

Brian was sitting on the bed reading a book before he closed it and put it on his nightstand. "What's up?" He asked as he watched her mom coming over and sitting on the bed in front of him.

Haley looked at him for a brief moment, her son, her little boy was growing up. She remembered when he was just a baby taking his first steps and when he was a little kid running around their little apartment where they lived years ago.

"Honey, You know that I've always told you that whatever you wanted to know about your dad, I'd tell you the truth, right?" She said, grabbing his hands and holding them with hers.

"I know." The boy nodded his head, his blue eyes staring at her.

"But you never asked much."

"Yeah, I know how much it hurts for you to talk about it, and I was never sure if I really wanted to know the whole truth." He said honestly.

"Well, I think now it's time for me to tell you the truth." She announced, taking a deep breath.

"Oh."

"Now it's the right time. I promise you." She assured her son, rubbing his hands softly.

"O-kay."

"Remember that I had told you that your father gave me that bracelet?" She picked the object in her pocket.

"Yeah." Brian nodded his head in confirtmation.

"We were in highschool, I was his tutor and he gave me this bracelet as a thank you for me helping him with his grades. As we got to know each other more, we started getting closer and we became best friends. We also started falling for each other and we started dating."

"Wait a minute, Nathan once told me that you were his tutor in highschool." Brian spoke, remembering one of the conversations he had with Nathan.

"That's right." She confirmded.

"That means..." Brian trailed off.

"Nathan is your father." Haley finished the sentence.

"I don't understand." Brian said shaking his head. "Did he knew...?"

"No, he didn't know anything. He only found out yesterday." Haley responded quickly.

"What happened mom?" The boy asked, his expression showed sadness and confusion. It broke Haley's heart to see her son like that.

"It's really complicated but I can tell you that Nathan wasn't around when I found out I was pregnant, he was at a basketball camp and I had to leave town before he was back. I'm so sorry son." She started crying feeling guilty for hiding this secret for so many years.

"It's okay mom. I don't understand everything but I trust you." He told her, wiping the tears away from Haley's face. She couldn't help but close her eyes and kiss his hand. She thanked God for having such an amazing son.

"I love you so much." She hugged him tightly.

"I love you too."

She kissed his face before she broke their embrace to look him in the eyes.

"Look honey, in all of that I can assure you one thing: Nathan has always been a great guy and I have no doubts that if I had told him that I was pregnant, he would've been one hundrend percent supportive. And when I had told him yesterday that you are his son, he was surprised but also very happy." She said. "He asked me to call him when I told you the truth so he's here in the living room waiting. Can I tell him to come over here?"

"I don't know, mom."

"Just talk to him a little. It's important for both of you." She pleaded.

"Okay." She smiled a little at his response and kissed his forehead before she got out of the bed.

"Love you."

"Love you too."

She left his bedroom and went to the other room where Nathan was sitting on the couch shaking his legs impatiently. He immediately got up when he saw her.

"I talked to him." Haley stated.

"Did you tell him that I'm his father?" Nathan couldn't help but ask.

"Yes. I also told him you were here and wanted to talk to him."

"Are you coming?"

"No, it's better for you two to talk alone with each other." She said squeezing his hand before he went to talk to his son.

Nathan opened the door and found Brian sitting on the bed.

"Hey Brian."

"Hi." The boy answered.

"Haley said she told you the truth." He started lamely.

"Yeah."

Nathan decided to tell his son what he had been thinking in the living while he waited.

"Look, Brian when I met you at the park, I didn't know who you were, or that you were Haley's son but since that day I felt a conection with you. And even when I found out that Haley was your mother and we're started dating, I still cared about you." Nathan tried to read the boy's expression before he continued. "I'm not asking for anything but I'm hoping that this bond we have doesn't break now."

"I don't hate you." Brian stated. "But I need some time to get used to the fact that you're my dad."

"That's completely fine. I understand." Nathan nodded his head in agreement.

"Because till sometime ago, to me you were the Nathan Scott, the famous NBA player. Then I met Nathan, a really cool guy that played video game with me, then I met my mom's boyfriend and now..."

"Your father." Nathan completed.

"Yeah."

"Brian, I'm still the same person. The only different is that now we can get to know each other more as father and son."

"I know that, but like I said, I need to get used to it."

"I understand." Nathan spoke. After a moment of silence he continued.

"I guess I better be going, it's kind of late and you have school and I have training tomorrow." Nathan said getting up as he looked at his watch. "We can talk to each other more later."

"Okay."

"Okay." Nathan repeated shoving his hands in his pockets. He didn't know what else to say, he actually wanted to go over Brian and hug him but maybe it was too soon for that, he didn't want to pressure the boy. "Have a goodnight, Brian."

"Nathan," The boy called his father's name. "My mom has always told me that my dad was a great guy. And she was right." Brian smiled a little. "Goodnight, Nathan."

Nathan smiled back. "Goodnight."

"How was the conversation?" Haley asked when she saw Nathan walking out of the other room.

"It was good." He tried to assure her but she noticed a little sadness in face.

"I'm sorry, Nathan."

"Shh, don't be."

"I can't help but feel guilty about this whole situation."

"Haley, it's not your fault. We're all victims. There's only one person to blame: my father."

"Let's not talk about him. We need to focus on us, the tree of us."

"I know."

"Just the three of us. That's all that matters." She leaned up to kiss him.

Haley sighed happily in Nathan's arms. She had always been scared of the outcome but luckily everything went well. Haley was happy that finally her family was together, not completely but this was just the beginning.
