After their little vacation, Haleigh and Nathan went back home, but saw a beautiful house up for sale causing her to look at Nathan. "Nathan?"

"I saw it. Maybe we should see just how much it is and get a loan. I'll work for Keith and you work for Karen." He tells her. "Want to look around before we head home."

Haleigh leaned over and kissed him. "Of course I would." She tells him. "Anything to enjoy being with you."

Nathan smiled at his wife as they stopped at the house. Getting out, the realtor looked at his first viewers. The couple walked over to him and started talking as he guided them into the house. He knew they were in school, but the girl was pregnant and the rings told him they are married. He hopes this house becomes theirs as no one else wants it.

Later that day, Lucas walked over to his friend and sat down. "How's you and the baby?"

"We're okay." She tells him. "How are you? It's been a while."

"Well, you're always with Nathan and you know how I feel about him." He says. "But that doesn't stop me from being your friend. We've been friends since we were kids. I'm not losing you."

"And you won't." She tells him. "You have to deal with me and this one and Nathan for the rest of our lives."

Lucas laughed as he knew that no matter what. She was still his family and Nathan doesn't seem to be a bad person like he thought. It's Sean that he doesn't trust. Nathan saw his wife and brother talking causing him to smile. "I thought you didn't like Lucas." He heard Sean.

"Sean, after he joined us, I realized that Lucas isn't a bad guy. He just holds a lot of resentment towards me. I have dad and dad didn't have anything to do with Lucas." He tells him. "Yet, I broke that cycle with mine."

"You stepped up to be a father to that baby and you got the one girl you only wanted. What else is there?" Sean asked as Haleigh and Lucas saw them. "You are lucky. I'm going to tell Haley the truth."

"That your plan was to use her?"

"Yep. I'm not now. I fell in love with her."

Nathan looked at Sean as the boy walked away. He never thought he would see the day. Yet, he realized what Sean was doing around his wife's cousin. "You are one dead man, Sean."

At home, they were counting their savings as they wanted that house. "Karen is coming home." She tells him.

"Really?" Nathan replies. "I bet you that Lucas is excited."

"He is." She says as she sighed and looked at him. "Nathan, what did Sean tell you? You looked upset about something and I want to know what happened or what was said."

Nathan sighed. "You remember how I was and Sean when it came to Lucas." She nodded. "Well, Sean hitch this plan as I didn't have anything to do with it as I have you and this baby, plus you made me realize he is my brother and I need to treat him better as I'm not dad."

"Nathan."

"Sean was using Haley and now he doesn't as he fell in love with her."

The blonde looked at him shock as she couldn't believe it. "How did you find out?" She asked. "I better not...."

"I have nothing to do with it. I didn't find out till now." He tells her as he placed his hand on her bump. "I would never and I mean never do that to you. I love you too much and I won't do that to Haley. She's a good friend."

Haleigh smiled as he put his arms around her and rested his head on her bump. "Nathan, Sean told you today. Is he telling her?" Nathan nodded. "Well, how about we stop counting as I think we have enough saved up to get that house. I just want to lay down in your arms."

Nathan smiled as he kissed her head. That was till he heard the phone ringing. "Hello?"

"Nathan, it's Lucas."
