wE get at the beach and Nathan is quiet the whole time. The kids get out of the car and we do too. They stay close but not too close "i`m sorry...i`m sorry if i acted like your opinion doesnt matter, it does Nathan. It mtters a lot is just..this whole music thin is painful to me...they gave up on me because i was pregnanrt...so the only reason i think that means it that was not good enough..you know how i get insecure most of the times.." i sigh "but thank you...for belieing in me..even when i dont believe in myself..i love you for that.."

Nathan----"I hate how you feel like every thing is always your fault. This was not your fault. If you had not gotten pregnant than you would have gone on at that school and done a great job.zzzzz'

"I dont want you to feel guilty too Nathan. Listen, we were careful, we were condom, so it is not your fault, you were responsible..it just happenned...but you know what..look at them" i show him Jamie and Lily playing and laughing "if i had to give up my dream for them so be it...i dont regret it for a second. I love them and they made my life better..and i have you to thank you for that"

Nathan----"Yeah but this is not the way your life would have turned out."

Haley
~
"No..maybe i would be famous, have tons of record albuns, awards, a glamorous life...but also an empty one. Lily and Jamie..yes they changed my life but ever since them it has been so much more.." i say with tears in my eyes "i would trade music, fame or whatever in a second for them.."

Nathan----"You are a great mom. I am just not sure if I can be the kind of dad they deserve. Maybe that is why you did not tell me."

Hale
~
"Nate, I already told you why i didnt tell you, for the last time it was because of me thinking you would be a bad father, i`ve always thought you would be great and you actually turned out better than i thought, i thought it would take a while for Lily ad Jamie to get atached to you but they already want you in their lives, they even want to liv with you..if i didnt tell you it is because i couldnt deal with you, with Brooke with that whole mess."

Nathan----"It still hurts ok? It will always hurt some Haley. I love you and I do not want to make your life hard for you. It just hurts that you would keep some thing like this away from me."

Haley
~
"Yes, it still hurts..it will alay hurt some but luckly now we can have write a new present and future.." i sigh "i know it hurt you, like i said Nathan i made a mistake if i could go back on time i would change things and no matter how hurt i was i would had told you about the kids."

Nathan----"See that is the thing Hales...you do not make mistakes."

Haley
~~
"what..what are you talking about...of corse i make mistakes. I`m not perfect

Nathan----"No Haley...you do ot make mistakes. You choose between things. It might not be the choice that other people want but it is always the choice you want."

Haley
~
"Of course I make mistakes Nathan, I am a normal human being. I have flaws, I make mistakes, I have doubts!' i never lke how Nathan thought i was never wrong "yes, i choose between thing and sometimes it is the wrong thing" why was he trying to pick up a fight with me...

Nathan----"I do not want to talk about this...not now..not here."

Haley
~~
