Previously On: What He Didn't Know He Left-

Nathan woke up the next morning determined to know what was going on with everybody around him and he decided that the first person he was going to talk to was Haley, so he made his way over to their old apartment and knocked on the door. When the door opened, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Chapter: 5

Nathan couldn't believe it, there he was standing at the door of his old apartment ready to confront Haley about the affair he thought she was having and about the kid, but when the door opened Nathan finally got a good look at the kid and he saw Haley's face and his eyes staring back at him.

'What the hell! This kid looks like Haley and me! Is he…' Nathan couldn't finish his thought because Haley interrupts them.

"JAMES LUCAS SCO…T!" Haley shouts, coming to the door. When she sees that, it's Nathan and she knows exactly what he's seeing.

'What the hell is he doing here?!' Haley yells in her head.

Haley walks up behind Jamie puts her hand on his shoulder, kneels down to his level, and says.

"Hey Jimmy-Jam why don't you go into the bedroom and wait for your Uncle Lucas to get here, I'll call him and see where he is."

"But momma it's Nathan Scott of the Charlotte Bobcats. This is so cool can't I just stay out here?!"

"No Jamie. Now go." Haley says as she points to the bedroom.

Once Jamie goes into the bedroom and Nathan sees that the door is shut he starts to say "Sco..." but he stops talking when Haley holds up one finger to silence him.

"James Lucas Scott you better have that door closed by the time I count to three. One, two..." Before she gets to three, she hears the door click shut so she turns back to Nathan. 'God she is sexy! I love her acting mommy like it makes her even more sexy! God Nathan get it together. You are mad at her remember!'Nathan thought to himself

"What are you doing here Nathan?" Haley asks.

"Scott." Was all that he said.

"Yes Scott. He is yours why would he have a different last name. Now answer the question what are you doing here Nathan?" Haley stated as she placed her hands on her hips.

'God she's hot when she's mad. Cut it out Nathan she kept you from your son.' Nathan thought to himself then said. "Well I came here to talk to you about the affair you must have had in order to get have a kid but now I know he's mine. Does he know?" Nathan asked

"An affair?! Really Nathan?! And yes Nathan he knows who you are I would never keep that from him." Haley said exasperated.

"Well what other explanation would there be I come back and you have a kid? He knows who I am. But why does he call me Nathan Scott?" Nathan asked.

"Ummmm, maybe that you got me pregnant before you left. Did you ever think of that? Yes Nathan he knows who you are I told him that you didn't exactly know who he was so when and if he ever met you to call you by your name." Haley explained as she walked into the kitchen and sat down on one of the bar stools.

"No I didn't think of that in that moment all I was thinking was that my wife cheated on me and had a kid by another guy. Can we please just drop it for now and get back to Jamie? Oh while I am thinking about Jamie he has a right to know who I am but I didn't have a right to know that he even existed. Why would you do that Haley?" Nathan asked.

"Fine, we will drop it for now, but I want you to know that I didn't do a damn thing Nathan you did when you left and never looked back!" Haley said raising her voice. Before Nathan could even respond, Lucas came walking through the open door.

"Hey Hales where's Jimmy-Jam?" Lucas asked not even looking at Nathan all Haley does is point to the bedroom.

"So you knew and didn't tell me when I called to tell you I was coming back?" Nathan shouted.

"It wasn't my place to tell you Nathan now Jamie and I are gonna get going." Lucas said as he walked to the bedroom, got Jamie, and left closing the door behind them.

"I still should have been told that I had a son." Nathan said putting his head in his hands.

"Nathan I tried to call but every time I called it would tell me that the phone is disconnected or is out of range." Haley stated.

Nathan just looked at her in disbelief from where he was sitting on the couch. 'I know that's not right. I haven't changed my number just in case she ever called. How is it that our phones and everyone else's would do that?' Nathan thought.

"Fine Nathan if you don't believe me I'll call your phone right now." Haley pulled out her phone and dialed Nathan's number. While she did that Nathan pulled out his phone expecting it to start ringing but it didn't.

"You could have emailed me Hales you do you know that right?" Nathan asked.

"I did try to email you and it kept coming back as delivery failed what else was I supposed to do I didn't want to tell you about Jamie in the email anyway. I sent one every day and they kept coming back." Haley could tell by the look on Nathan's face he didn't believe her so she showed him.

"I believe you Haley but my dad told me you changed your number so that doesn't really mean anything to me on the phone calls anyway." Nathan said trying to figure out if she was lying or not.

"Nathan my phone number has been the same for the past four and a half years I haven't changed it and nobody else has changed theirs either your dad was lying to you." Haley stated getting angrier by the second.

"How am I supposed to believe that Haley I have no proof?" Nathan stated he was getting tired of the circles they were dancing around one another.

"You want proof fine call from Lucas from my phone." Haley says handing the phone to Nathan; he immediately dials his brother's number who answers on the second ring.

"Hales what's up?" No one responded. "Hales?!" Lucas shouted but still no one responded. "Haley If you don't answer me I'm coming back over there." Lucas yelled through the phone.

"Relax, big brother, I'm not going to do anything to her geez I was just seeing if the phone works or not." Nathan said into the phone.

"Oh okay bye." Lucas said hanging up the phone. Nathan handed the phone back to Haley who snatched it out of his hand.

"Now do you believe me?" Haley asked.

"Yeah Hales I believe you." Nathan said looking away from her face.

"Ok good. Now answer me this. Why didn't you ever come back looking for me?"

"I never came back, because I thought that was what you wanted. I called my dad and asked him about you, he told me that you changed your number and said that you didn't want me to have it. What was I supposed to believe when every time I tried to call I got that message? I just thought that I would give you your space and while I did that I would focus on basketball." Nathan explained.

"Nathan you can be so thick headed sometimes. Why in the world would you ever believe something that came out of Dan's mouth? And why didn't you call Deb and ask her?" Haley asked

"I believed my dad because when he said the reason that I couldn't get a hold of you was because you had a new number, what else was I supposed to believe the message said that the phone had either been disconnected or out of range. As for me calling my mother every time I called no one would answer I would leave a message but she never called back."

"It's like you are a repeating record Nathan. I understand about the message that you would get when you called because I got the same thing, what I don't understand is why you wouldn't just come home, to find me and just talk to me."

"I didn't come home to talk to you because I didn't think you wanted me here."

"Nathan I always wanted you here. That is all I have wanted for the past few years." Haley said getting off the bar stool and walking to stand in front of Nathan.

"Well now that I am here what are we going to do about me, you, and James?" Nathan asked looking up at Haley.

"I guess we just take it one day at a time. You need to get to know Jamie as we call him, and we need to get to know one another again too." Haley said kneeling down to look into Nathans eyes and taking his hands in hers. "I'm glad you are here Nathan, but I need time to readjust my life, and Jamie's. I wish that you could have found out about Jamie a lot different than you did." Haley said looking away from Nathan as a tear slid down her face, she was surprised when Nathan took one of his hands out of hers and wiped it away with his thumb.

"Hales don't cry. I understand what you are saying and I know that me coming back is a big change and I can agree with you on how I found out about Jamie. I do have a question for you though."

"What's that Nate?" Haley asked looking back into Nathan's eyes.

"When did you find out you were pregnant?" Nathan asked, it had been one of the questions that he had ever since Haley confirmed that Jamie was his.

"Ummm…" Haley started to say but got up letting go of Nathan's hands and instantly missing the warmth but she kept walking away from Nathan and into the kitchen.

"Hales don't walk away from me, I've missed you and I don't think that I can take us being in the same room and me not touching you." Nathan said as he got up to move closer to her.

"No Nathan you need to stay right there." Haley said holding up her hand to stop him.

"Why? Don't you want to be close to me like I want to be with you?" Nathan asked. 'Does she really not want to be near me?' Nathan asked himself.

"Nathan there is nothing I want more than that…" Nathan started to move closer to her again but Haley stopped him. "But I am not the one that is going to be mad in a few seconds." Haley finished and walked further away from him.

"Hales why would I be mad?" Nathan asked confused.

"Just let me get this out Nate, and then you will understand. Ok?"

"Alright Hales." Nathan said putting his hands in his pocket.

'Ok here goes nothing.' Haley thought to herself as she took a deep breath and said. "I found out that I was pregnant with Jamie the day that you were leaving for High Flyer's I was getting ready to tell you when someone knocked on the door and it was Dan. I made a decision then to wait and tell you about Jamie when you got back, but you never came back." Haley said her voice cracking and tears started falling down her face, she turned to run to the bedroom but two strong hands held her where she was.

"You knew before I left?" Nathan asked. Haley just nodded in response letting her tears fall and not even bothering to wipe them away.

"God damn it Haley! Why didn't you just tell me? I know you said you would have told me when I got back, but why didn't you want to tell me before I left?" Nathan asked as he released his hold on her.

"I didn't tell you before you left because I knew that you would want to stay, I didn't want to feel like I was holding you back from your dreams, and I didn't tell you while you were at High Flyer's because I knew once you found out you would leave camp and come home, again I didn't want to be the one that held you from your dreams." Haley said she was no crying even harder. 'I have to get out of here!' Haley thought to herself as she turned yet again to go into the bedroom, but Nathan's hands found her waist once more.

"Hales you would never have been holding me back from my dreams because you were my dream and you still are my dream. I would have loved to have been there for you during your pregnancy but you chose not to tell me. I understand the reasons behind you not telling me but you still should have, it would have been my decision to make." Nathan said as he leaned down and gave her a kiss that was supposed to be sweet, but as soon as his lips met hers, he deepened it, Haley's arms went around his neck and pulled him closer to her, and his grip on her waist tightened, and he pulled her closer to him. They didn't know how long they had been like that but they only pulled away when oxygen became necessary, before either one had full recovered they were kissing passionately once again, but jumped apart immediately when they heard small voice say "Ewwwww." And clapping, they turned to see that Jamie, Lucas, Payton, Jake, and Lindsey were standing at the door. Jamie and everyone else had an excited look on their face, the one person that did not look happy about Haley and Nathan kissing was Lucas.

Haley looked and Nathan and said "Welcome home." Still a little breathless.

"What a good welcome that was." Nathan said as he pulled Haley to him again and gave her another kiss on the lips earning another "Ewwww." From Jamie, causing everyone to start laughing.

Haley stood on her tiptoes and whispered in Nathan's ear. "You know we still have to take this slow right?"

Nathan just nodded and pulled her in closer for a deathly tight hug. "I missed you Hales."

"I missed you to Nate." Haley said kissing Nathan's cheek.

"Hey! What about me?! Am I already forgotten?" Jamie said from the door, causing everyone to laugh again.

"No of course not. Come here Jamie." Nathan said as he knelt to the ground to meet Jamie. Nathan picked Jamie up and turned towards Haley who had tears in her eyes. "Hales you come here to."

Haley walked over to where Nathan was with Jamie and stood beside them, she looked in to Nathan's eyes and at the same time, they gave each other a hug with Jamie in the middle and kissed one of his cheeks.

"Kid getting squished here. Can't breath!" Jamie said from in between Nathan and Haley, everyone started to laugh again. Nathan and Haley started to pull away from each other when Lucas stopped them and asked.

"Do you guys want me to take a first family photo?"

"Yeah I would like that." Nathan answered, he looked at Haley who was holding back the tears in her eyes but looked happy. 'I now have my family together and my wife back.' Nathan thought to himself smiling at Haley.

'I now have my husband back and my family is finally in one piece.' Haley thought to herself and smiled back at Nathan.
