10- Season 3 Episode 4: An Attempt to Tip the Scales- Grease Makeover
I love this moment and it comes from one of my favourite episodes of One Tree Hill. This comes at a time when Nathan and Haley are on the outs after Haley has left Nathan to tour but has now finally come home to a hurt Nathan. I like this scene because even though Nathan is hurt and doesn't really want to talk to Haley he still cares so much about her and is her knight in bat armour, literally sweeping Haley away.
9- Season 7 Episode 7: I and Love and You- Talk Show Conclusion
This whole episode fits in here because I couldn't decide on just one moment. This comes when Nathan is in the middle of a scandal where a woman is claiming she is pregnant with his child and is now on his fathers talk show to further do so. This episode has Nathan and Haley showing each other love and support throughout the talk show, shows the trust that Haley has for Nathan and the belief she has in him as well as all the emotions they feel at the relief that this is now over.
8- Season 1 Episode 8: The Search for Something More- First Kiss
Next is the first kiss between the two. I was debating putting this higher but decided that while this is another of many great moments that it wasn't my all time favourite. Basically there has been a growing connection between the two yet Nathan has disappointed Haley. It Finally cultivates with Nathan coming to Haley's house and throwing stones at her window to get her attention (although it turns out to be her parents window) before finally making a move and kissing Haley.
7- Season 2 Episode 1: The Desperate Kingdom of Love and Season 3 Episode 22: The Show Must Go On- Wedding and Wedding Vows
Again I am going to put more than one exact moment here as I find them equally important. Nathan and Haley's first wedding and vows and their second larger wedding and vows are quite different but both feature strong words and descriptions from both about how they feel with one another and what they mean to each other.
6- Season 1 Episode 9: With Arms Outstretched- "Nothing else matters"
Jumping way back to season 1 again is this moment where Nathan faints after taking drugs to perform better in the basketball match. The moment shows that after going through this experience he has realised that the thing he wanted to see the most, the only thing he needed at his moment was Haley. As an added bonus Nathan later recalls that this was the moment where he fell in love with Haley.
5- Season 1 Episode 21: The Leaving Song- First Rain kiss
Nathan and Haley's first of many rain kisses is the next moment on the list. This moment follows after the two have had a fight and Nathan doesn't really know how to get through to Haley and ends up waiting for her at he house in the rain. By the time Haley finds him in the pouring rain he is drenched and he begins to explain and apologise to Haley before the two end up in a kiss. I like this scene because you can see the sincerity in Nathans actions and words and he is able to get through to Haley.
4- Season 9 Episode 13: One Tree Hill- Final scenes together ( rain kiss and throwback to crackerjack bracelet)
Another rain kiss follows as it really has become associated with this couple. The rain kiss that follows is the final rain kiss shared between the to in the show and comes at a time where they are calm and steady after facing years of obstacles and problems. I liked this scene and their others throughout the final episode as it shows how content the two are with each other as well as the fact that they seem as in love as they were the first time they had a rain kiss.
3- Season 6 Episode 24: Remember Me As A Time Of Day -I'm in the NBA
This was a moment that the show had been building up to for six years with Nathan's character and his relationship. It has been seen that Haley has supported Nathan's ambition to make it to the NBA and it has become a shared dream for the two. So that is why when Nathan finally makes it and gets to share the news with his wife and the emotions flow out of happiness and relief that this makes it so high.
2- Season 9 Episode 11: Danny Boy- Reunion
Again this was scene that had a lot of buildup to get to it. This is when Nathan and Haley finally reunite and see each other for the first time since he was kidnapped. This was such an emotional scene whee it was evident how much they needed and missed each other. We saw through the season how this was affecting Haley more so than Nathan with her thoughts about losing her husband, her ice-cream speech when facing identifying a body at the morgue and her troubles explaining the situation to Jamie. Couple this with Nathan's reactions to losing his family and this seen was a very powerful moment as was the whole episode for the couple.
1- Season 3 Episode 13: Wind That Blew My Heart Away- "I was still proud of you"
This whole list was very difficult to navigate and find just ten moments for a couple that has been together for 9 seasons and choosing a number one was even more difficult. I decided on this moment from season 3 where the storm has Nathan and Haley together in his house and he is able to tell Haley that he remembers everything about their time together and her before going on to say how proud he was of her on the tour. He then proceeds to run out into the storm to his car to show her the mementos from newspapers that he collected about her tour. The two then try to catch the flying papers that have gone everywhere before leaving them and embracing in a kiss. I like this scene as it shows that even though they weren't together and Nathan was battling this pain and hurt he still supported Haley and her success and never forgot about her.
There were so many close calls that could have made the list but I came to these...so let me know what you think.
