"Alexis! Lexi, if you want me to give you a ride hurry up! If not, you're stuck with your mother." I could just see the smile on his face as he added the last part.

I just laughed, "Thanks." I said as he walked into the kitchen with a 'No problem' He walked over to the fridge to get water for practice and as he turned around I saw that infamous smirk on his face.

"I have a surprise for you." He said turning around, leaning on the counter.

"Really? What is it?"

"If I told you it wouldn't be a surprise would it." He said laughing, smirk still in place.

"Will I like it?" I asked in my 'sexy' voice before walking up to him and wrapping my arms around his neck. He smiled down at me and nodded.

"Well, I'll reward you if you tell me." I said kissing his neck as his arms wrapped tighter around my waist.

"Hmmm…I'm tempted." He said moaning into my hair as I went down to his collarbone, nipping at his skin. He grabbed my chin so I was looking at him before crashing his lips onto mine. I smiled knowing I had won this one. I pulled back suddenly, stepping out of his reach as he groaned.

"I said I'd only reward you if you told me." I said smirking at him as he moaned in aggravation. "Why hello." I said to the bouncing brunette. She sat at the island instantly feeling taller, with a broad smile on her face.

"Daddy's taking me school." She said as her cobalt blue eyes sparkled. She looked just like her daddy. He raven hair flowing just past her shoulder, her gorgeous blue eyes, and basketball. She had her fathers love for basketball. Besides her attitude and her intelligence she was all her dad. Boy did she have my bad attitude sometimes.

"Is he now? Maybe you can use your charming good looks to get him to tell you his surprise." She squealed in excitement as I kissed her head. "Because your daddy's not getting anything from me until I know." I said winking at him before leaving the room.

Nathan groaned as he watched his wife leave. If someone didn't tell her by tonight he definitely was gonna. He winked at the young girl as his phone vibrated in his pocket, not helping his current situation. He smiled as he looked at the caller id.

"Hey."

"Hey. What's up?"

"Nothing. Haley's being mean." He said as his daughter laughed at him.

"You didn't tell her did you?"

"Nah. Unfortunately for me."

"Okay, gross." Nathan laughed in response picturing his friends face.

"I gotta go take Lexi to pre-k. You'll be here tonight right? If not I'm telling Haley anyway." He laughed out as he heard the other person laugh too.

"Yeah, just hold out till tonight." Nathan just laughed as he hung up and stared at the little girl.

"Alright squirt. Let's go." He picked her up and tickled her sides as she started giggling. Even though she looked like him, she reminded him so much of Haley.

"Bye Hales!" He yelled at the bottom of the stairs. When she didn't respond he knew she was just toying with him. "What are we gonna do with that mother of yours." He said as the Lexi shrugged in response.

"The sex card always works." Brooke said smiling at me. "It hasn't failed for me yet."

"Ha- ha. Yeah, if I don't find out soon I'll definitely find out tonight." I said winking at her. She held up a blue tank top and frowned.

"My clothes look WAY better then this." I just laughed as I watched her throw the shirt back on the table. Ever since her line, Clothes over Bros, became a big hit she was picky about what she wore. Always comparing it to her own.

"Tigger! I think it looks cute." I said picking up the article of clothing. She smiled.

"Yes it is. And I bet it'll look good that sexy little body of yours. My stuffs still better." She said before gasping and pulling me across the store. I laughed as I looked around at the section we were in.

"Aren't we too old for this kind of stuff, Brooke?"

"Haley, honey, your only 23. You won't be too old for this stuff till you like, 60. And I'm sure Nathan will still find your wrinkly ass hot." She said walking around as I shook my head and followed her. "You want to know the surprise sooner rather then tonight, wear this." She said holding up a black two piece set. I just laughed at her and walked away.

"I don't need skimpy clothes to turn my man on." All she did was laugh and drop it in the cart anyway.

"I'm single. I might need it." She said explaining herself as I stared at her. I shook my head and walked away her trailing behind me. This always happens when I go shopping with Brooke. Maybe one day I'll learn.

When I got home the house wasn't as quiet as it should be.

"Nathan!" I yelled. I didn't expect them to be home yet, but I heard little feet upstairs and knew they were both here. I figured Nathan would still be at practice and Lexi would still be at day care.

"Nate!" I turned the corner into the living room and smiled. There he was in all his glory, still in his practice clothes, watching ESPN. His feet propped up on the coffee table in front of him.

"I hate it when you do that." I said pushing his feet off before sitting next to.

"That's why I do it." He smiled, putting them back up. I laughed into his shirt as he pulled me into his side, kissing the top of my head.

"I hate this station." I tried to grab the remote but his athletic reflects kicked in so I couldn't. As he moved out of the way I fell on top of him.

"If you want me just say so." He smirked up at me. I tried to move but he just wrapped his arms around me tighter.

"I'll only want you…if you tell me the surprise." I whispered in his ear before biting his lobe. I felt him pull me further into him as I went down to his neck. Next I went to his jaw and heard him moan. I stopped at his lips and whispered, "You wanna tell me yet." Before he answered he grabbed my head towards his, our lips crashing together. I just smiled against his lips. To my dismay, I moaned as his hand started finding its way up my shirt. He went to my neck as I started playing with the hem of his shirt. I pulled it half way up and was stopped by the sound of the doorbell. I groaned and put my head on his shoulder as he smiled.

"You wanna get that. I'm kinda stuck." He smirked up at me as I slapped him in the chest.

"If that's Brooke, she's so dead." I mumbled fixing my appearance as I opened the door. I shrieked in excitement as I pulled him in. "LUCAS!" I yelled hugging him as Nathan walked in the entry way and smiled.

"Surprise."
