It was a few months later, and Haley was leaning into Nathan's side with his arm around her shoulders. On hand was wrapped around his waist and the other rested on her baby bump. She knew she was close, it could happen any day now. And honestly she couldn't wait. She was scared to death but extremely excited. She had heard horror stories about how giving birth could be. The pain at some point would probably have her wishing for someone to put her out of her misery. But she knew that Nathan would be there through all of it holding her hand, talking her through it. And that was her silver lining. He was there for her until the end. Knowing that she leaned into his side a little bit more resting her head on his shoulder. They sat through the rest of they're TV show before Nathan caught Haley yawning.

"Let's get you to bed." he said.

"That's probably a good idea." she agreed letting him help her to her feet. He kept his arm firmly around her shoulder as he led them to their bedroom. She climbed into the spacious comfy bed and rolled onto her side, which was the only comfortable position for her at the moment. Nathan slid over to her side of the bed and wrapped his arms around her before falling asleep.

Haley dozed off for a while before she felt moisture pooling between her legs soaking into the bed. She shot up in bed as fast as she could as the reality of the situation became clear. She had been having slight contractions all evening, but ignored them, passing them off as just normal cramps. But she knew her water broke so she knew she was close. She reached over and started frantically shaking Nathan trying desperately to wake him up.

"Nathan wake up." she urged.

"Haley, what's wrong?" he asked instantly worried.

"My water just broke. I'm having the baby." she said.

"Oh my God." he said as he shot out of bed. He grabbed her bag and slung it over his shoulder before helping her out of the bed. While they walked to the car, he called Lucas, Brooke, Haley's parents, and his parents before loading her into the car and driving off. The phone calls were short and to the point. "Haley's having the baby", then hang up, but they got the point across. He asked Lucas to call Jake and Peyton to let them know. Lucas had quickly agreed, before Nathan hung up and sped towards the hospital. He didn't care if he got a speeding ticket, he just wanted to get to the hospital. He hated seeing Haley in so much pain, it was terrifying knowing there was nothing he could do to fix it. Once they arrived at the hospital he ran in and got a wheel chair so he could wheel her into the hospital. He ran up to the information desk and talked to a kind nurse.

"My wife is in labour." he said nervously.

"Come along, we'll get her admitted right away. How long as she been in labour for?" she asked.

"I don't know. All she said was that she had been having contractions for most of the evening, but didn't think anything of them." he said.

"Okay, lets get you into the room and set up." she said pushing Haley's wheelchair into a private room.

Brooke waited anxiously for Lucas to pick her up, after getting the call from Nathan saying Haley was in labour. She was going to meet baby Scott for the first time. She was going to be Aunt Brooke to some little baby. They were picking up Jake and Peyton on the way to the hospital, but Lucas wasn't coming nearly fast enough. She wanted to be at the hospital before the baby came, Brooke thought panicking. When she finally seen Lucas's headlights appear at her house, she ran out the front door as fast as she could armed with gifts for the baby. When they got to Jakes, him and Peyton were already outside waiting. They hopped in the car and drove to the hospital.

Lydia and Jimmy James raced around their house frantically, grabbing everything they needed to meet their new baby grandson. They were excited, scared, ecstatic, ever emotion you could think of. It was a surreal experience going to the hospital to wait for your youngest daughter to give birth to your first grand child. They wanted to be there when he came out, and didn't want to miss a moment of his beautiful life. Together they sped to the hospital, not caring if they got stopped by the cops or anything, just wanting to be there for their daughter on this joyous early morning.

Deb and Dan Scott dressed and left the house in a daze after the phone call from their son. Fear and excitement overtook them as they drove to the hospital. A tiny bit of dread circulated through Dan as well, as he knew that this baby could possibly mean the end of Nathan's basketball career. But he conceded that there were worse things to lose a career to, and he knew that Nathan was strong enough to get through this. At least he hoped it was. It had taken him a lot to get here, to this place where he was okay with being a grandfather. But he was happy and a little bit excited to meet his grandson. A little boy that eventually he could attempt to fix all the mistakes he had made with his father, and shower this baby with all the love and support he never gave his own son. This baby was Dan Scott's chance at redemption, a chance he was intent on taking.

As Haley's contractions grew closer and closer together, the doctor checking to see how dilated she was, the pain intensified.

"Alright Haley, you can push now. Whenever you're ready give me a big push." he said. She gritted her teeth and nodded riding out the contraction.

"Whenever a contraction comes push, and ride it out." he instructed. Nathan held her hand tightly, knowing she needed him right now more than ever. After several pushes a shrill cry filled the air and Haley looked up needing to see her son.

"Congratulations Mr and Mrs Scott, you have a beautiful baby boy." he said cleaning the baby up before handing him to Haley.

"Oh my God. He's so beautiful." she said. Nathan stared at his baby in awe, he couldn't believe he created something so beautiful.

"He's so tiny." Nathan said in awe.

"Do you have a name picked out?" a nurse asked.

"Yes, his name is James Lucas Scott." she said.

"That's a beautiful name." the nurse said kindly as she filled his name out on his birth certificate. Nathan left the room to go and tell all the people that were surely waiting out in the waiting room. He walked out and Lucas and Brooke, were sitting with Jake and Peyton, Haley's mom and dad were sitting in chairs off to the side, his parents were seated on the other side of the room. When he walked out 8 sets of eyes fixated on him.

"James Lucas Scott. He and Haley are perfectly fine." he said. Lucas got up and hugged his brother as Brooke burst out in tears.

"Can we see him?" she asked.

"Only two at a time. So I figured we let the grandparents go first. Mr and Mrs James do you want to meet you're grandson?" he asked. They got up and followed him into Haley's new private hospital room, provided by Dan Scott and went to stand by her side. She was holding James in her arms. When she seen her parents walk in, she smiled at them.

"Do you want to hold him?" she asked. Her mom nodded, tears falling from her eyes so much that she couldn't talk. Haley placed the infant in her arms and she immediately started cooing to him. Jimmy walked over and hugged his daughter.

"Congratulations. You did so good." he said.

"Thank you daddy." she said. Lydia passed baby Jamie off to Jimmy and he cradled him for a moment, before he handed him back to Haley.

"We'll go get Nathan's parents." he said as he took his wife's hand and led her out. As promised moments later Dan and Deb entered the room.

"He's so beautiful." Deb said going over and taking the baby from Haley's arms. Dan walked over and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Now you have a son of your own. Don't make the same mistakes I did with mine." he said.

"You can still fix the ones you made with me and Lucas dad. There's still time. It took until now when I see my baby boy for me to realize that I cant permanently cut out from my life. You're my dad, just like I'm his dad." he said. Dan smiled genuinely and looked at the baby when Deb brought him over.

"Can I hold him?" he asked looking at Nathan.

"Of course." he said and Deb passed the baby expertly into Dan's arms. Dan and Deb left moments later to send Lucas and Brooke in. Brooke was still crying hysterically as she immediately went to hug Haley.

"Now why is the Godmother to my son crying?" Haley asked her best girlfriend.

"Godmother? That is so not the way to make me stop crying." she said starting up once again.

"So how are you doing Godfather?" she asked her lifelong friend.

"You want me and Brooke to be the Godparents?" Lucas asked.

"You two are my best friends in the whole world, and you're my husbands brother. There's no one better suited for the responsibility." she said. When Haley offered the baby out to Brooke she took him willingly and started cooing to the infant. Lucas went over to hug his oldest friend. While the four teenagers were talking another face appeared at the door.

"Hope you don't mind but I called him after you called me." Lucas said of the man standing in the doorway.

"Whitey." Nathan said walking over to hug his coach.

"I heard you were becoming a father and I wanted to come congratulate you. Congratulations." he said hugging his favorite player.

"Thanks coach." he said returning the hug. Lucas was now holding Jamie and he walked over to Whitey.

"Wanna hold him?" he asked. Whitey nodded and held out his arms.

"He's so tiny." he said awkwardly rocking the tiny baby.

"You look like you're daddy." he said softly cooing to the baby. Nathan went to sit by Haley's side as he watched the old man gently rock the baby.

Once everyone left that evening Nathan sat on a chair by Haley's beside, while the baby slept in a bassinette by the end of her bed.

"You did so good today." he told her.

"We did good." she corrected.

"I haven't told you lately how much I love you." he said.

"It's okay. I know. I love you too." she said leaning towards him. He kissed her softly.

"We're gonna be okay arent we?" he asked.

"We're going to be perfect." she corrected him.

"Good. Always?" he said, needing to hear the second word some from her lips.

"And forever." she said staring into his eyes. And they would be. They would be more than fine.

Always and forever.
