When Life isn't Like it Should be

Chapter One

Part One

Haley was making dinner when Nathan walked in the door. He had been gone for a week and was glad to be home. When he walked in her was greeted by and anxious James.

"Daddy, I missted you!" James yelled and jumped into Nathan's arms. Marissa threw her arms up in the air.

"And how have you been cutie?" Nathan asked her and she giggled. Nathan put James down and went over to Haley. "I missed you girl," he said and kissed Haley on the cheek. "There might be more of that tonight."

Haley smiled. "Missed you too honey."

Nathan went to the couch and turned to TV on. "And the sports highlights from this weeks tournament. The Charlotte Bobcats won thanks to their new shooting guard Nathan Scott," said the sports announcer. They showed a couple pics of Nathan playing.

"Looks James daddy's on TV!" Nathan yelled and James ran over and jumped in his lap.

"Nathan, will you go change Marissa diaper? I'm kind of busy making the spaghetti," Haley asked.

"Sweaty, I'm on TV right now," Nathan said.

Haley sighed and picked up Marissa. "Will you at least watch the water and make sure it doesn't boil too much?"

"Yea, sure," Nathan said not really paying attention.

Haley was changing Marissa's diaper when she heard the smoke alarm go off. She picked up Marissa and ran into the kitchen. "What happened you were supposed to watch the water?" Haley asked angrily.

"Sorry hun, I just got so into the game," Nathan said.
