Summary: A bad situation gone good.
Story
"Mr. Kiwi, you can't be serious, Nathan and I can't stand,-" Haley pleaded before her teacher cut her off.
"Save it Ms. James, I don't want to hear it," he said with a hint of irritation in his voice, "You and Nathan are a newly married couple, your son is three months old, Haley you are a stay at home mom and Nathan you're a Garbage Man, you will strive to run a household, on a budget, while taking care of your child. I want you to keep a journal of events and challenges, this assignment will last three days. Now for the rest of the class come pick out of a hat, and remember to pick up the worksheets with the plans, budgets, etc."
Nathan and Haley stood there, unsure of what to do, Finally Nathan spoke, "Since we have to do this, we might as well make the best of it."
She turned to him, "Don't talk to me," she said walking to get the papers.
"That will be hard, given the situation," he said following her.
'Okay, this is the situation, "she said giving him the paper as the bell sounded though the school, "You take this child now, I get him tomorrow, we make up the journal entries, I'll take care of the balancing the budget, and none of the requires you to talk to me," she walked away.
"Haley," he cried after her, "Haley!"
"What!" She exclaimed.
"What's you problem, God you act like I owe you something."
"I guess common decency isn't in your vocabulary."
"How many times to I have to say I'm sorry? Okay I'm sorry."
"I don't want an apology."
"Then what do you want from me?"
Haley knew what she wanted, the one thing, she couldn't have. "Can't we at least me civil?'
She didn't answer.
"You know what, that fine, we don't have to talk, no real lost any way."
"So you called me back to insult me?"
"No to let you know there's a problem.'
"What?'
"Who gets the kid the third day? And since it's the weekend how will I get it to you?"
"Um," Haley hadn't thought of that, "Um I'll take him on Sunday and you can drop it off here," she said scribbling down her address, "come anytime, my parents are never home."
Oh god, now he knows where I live.
"And another thing," he said, "What am I suppose to write in the journal?"
"I don't know, be creative."
"Well, well, what do we have here?"
"Tim, "Nathan said in a threaten tone.
"Nate what are you doing, talking to her?"
"Ok don't worry Tim he wasn't socializing with me."
"But you were talking."
"Not by choice."
"Yeah right, whatever man, Nathan lets get out of here."
"Actually Tim I was talking to her, who do you think you are? I didn't know I needed your permission to talk to someone. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to get back to my conversation."
Haley was taken a back.
"Sorry man. I didn't know."
"You wouldn't, your too busy being a d ick."
"Um right I gunna go to practice, see you there, Haley," he said nodding at her. When he was gone Haley said, 'You didn't have to do that?"
"Yeah but I wanted to, Tim can be an a ss sometimes."
"I can see that."
"Well, I gunna go to practice, see you later?' he asked.
"Maybe."
"Good enough." He disappeared down the hall.
Haley walked on air down the opposing hallway, but bumping into Lucas brought her back to earth.
"Luke, hey."
"What's up?"
"Nothing much," she paused, "Oh yeah I'm marriage to Nathan and we have a 3 month old son."
"What sick and twisted soul would create such a thing?'
"Mr. Kiwi."
"How did you manage to piss him off?"
Haley just smiled.
"I guess you're happy with the arrangements, then?"
"I'm not un happy."
"I thought you were over it."
He looked at her narrowly.
"Come by the Café tonight," he said, "I got to get to practice."
"Yeah sure."
Later
So let me get this straight, you're a happily married couple of a 3 year old child whose father is a garbage man?"
She nodded.
"Sound s like a recipe from h ell."
"It's not that bad.It could be worst."
"I don't think so."
They both turned to the door when they heard the bell above the door.
"Since when do they come in here?' he said referring to Nathan and half the basketball team.
When they passed Nathan said, "I told you I'd see you later."
She smiled when she saw him carrying the egg in a wooden crib.
"I guess I got my answer," Lucas said.
