Thanks for everyone's reviews! I'm really glad some of your views are changing about Naley, let's just say its going to take them awhile to get back to where they once were
So on with chapter number 10!
Sharing Kate
Haley had left her classroom to go to the washroom before her classes had started, when she came back there was a note sitting on her desk
"Meet Me at the Dock's, where we used to meet after basketball practice. We have some things to discuss.
Nathan"
Haley couldn't believe it Nathan wanted to talk to her; she wondered what Nathan wanted to talk about. The words we have some things to discuss. She though about it and couldn't think of anything. Then she looked up and saw her beautiful daughter walk in to the room.
"Good Morning, Ms. James" Kate said
"Good Morning, Kate. How was calculus?" Haley asked
"It was pretty uneventful, went by really slowly" Kate replied
"Well you know, it's usually like that" Haley answered
"I know, unfortunately the teacher isn't as cool as my English teacher" Kate smirked
"Kate, let's go sit down" Adam said
"I'll be right there sweet cheeks" Kate replied, Adam looked over at her he couldn't believe Kate had just said that. Haley just laughed. The Bell rang.
"You should go sit Kate, class is starting"
"Alright Ms. James" Kate said taking her seat next to Adam.
Kate waited for everyone to leave the class before she pulled her chair up to Haley's desk.
"Don't you want to eat lunch with your friends?" Haley asked
"I do, but my friends understand. That I kind of want to spend some time with you" Kate said tucking her hair behind her ear.
"So I heard about your little cat fight"
"Oh who hasn't" Kate said rolling her eyes
"How did it start, I've been in my share of cat fights"
"Well this girl Chelsea, I believed we were friends not best or anything. But anyways she thought it be cool to call me out on my mommy issues, and then proceed to call me a slut, which I do get, but anyways, she like ran out and made a scene and my Dad threw her out of the gym"
"Well I'm sorry you have mommy issues, maybe me being around will help?"
"Maybe, anyways why aren't you in the staffroom, when all the other teachers are in there?" Kate asked
"Well its weird most of the teachers worked here when I went here, and I feel like I'm being graded still" Haley stated Kate laughed. "Laugh it up, while you're the one eating lunch with a teacher" Haley smiled
"Just for that, I'm going to leave now, I'll see you later Haley" Kate said getting up
"Kate, it's been great getting to know you" Haley said standing up
"Is this going to be some heartfelt moment?" Kate asked
"If you want it to be?"
"Just a tiny bit" Kate walked over and hugged Haley
"would you have ever thought that you'd actually be hugging me?" Haley asked
"Nope nothing happen, don't spread it around" Kate said with her smirk and exited the classroom.
"Hey Sweet cheeks" Kate said sitting down at the table
"Are you going to continue to call me that?" Adam asked
"Yeah, it's your nickname. You know how you call me babe"
"Couldn't I have a cooler name? Sweet cheeks is so girly"
"Nope, sorry Sweet cheeks"
"I hate you"
"No you love me"
"What did you say?"
"I said you love me"
"Well, you love me too"
"I know I do" Kate said with a grin, Adam then leaned over and started kissing Kate.
"Seriously guys, thanks for ruining my appetite" Lilly said
"Sorry Lills, I can't help it I have barely seen him today" Kate said
"I can tell" Lilly replied rolling her eyes
"What a guy can't kiss his girlfriend?" Adam asked with his puppy dog eyes
"No, not in front of me" Lilly replied
"Then leave" Adam said leaning in to kiss Kate again. Lilly looked at Kate with that come on look.
Nathan sat down at the docks, waiting for Haley to arrive. He played with his hair, as he tried not to think about, what he was going to say. He checked over his shoulder to see if he could see if Haley was coming that way, but as he turned his head back he saw Haley walking toward him. She took a sip of her coffee and sat down.
"Hey" she said
"Hey" Nathan replied
"So what did you want to talk about?" Haley asked
"Well first I want to apologize for being such an ass yesterday"
"It's okay; you had a right to be"
"Anyways, I wanted to talk to you about Kate"
"You don't want me see her?" Haley asked
"No, I do want her to see you. Since she made if very clear to me that the two of you are getting to know each other if I like it or not"
"Okay"
"Well actually, I wanted to see if you would want her living with you part-time. You know I get her Monday's, Wednesday's and Friday's. And you'd get her Tuesday's and Thursdays, we could alternate weekends"
"Are you sure Nate?" Haley asked
"Yeah I am, I thought about. She's your daughter too; she needs to be able to spend time with her mother"
"Okay, have you checked with her?"
"Not yet, but since it is Thursday it would mean, she'd be with you tonight"
"It would be nice to spend more time with her"
"Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Besides which this way she won't be sneaking out to see you"
"When did… Oh last night, I knew I should have called you"
"It's okay you didn't know"
"Where does this leave us?" Haley asked
"Friends, who have a sixteen year old daughter. I promise to be civil in front of Kate, if you do"
"I will, will we ever be together again?"
"I don't know, I have a lot to get over. That I've bottled up for years"
"Do you want to call Kate?" Haley asked
"No, Brooke called me and said that she was taking her out. So if you want to swing by the house around 6ish to pick Kate up that would be great"
"Alright, thanks for this"
"Your welcome, just don't blow it"
Kate walked out of the gym, with Adam holding her hand. The two had barely seen each other today. They were looking forward to having some alone time; at least that's what they thought. As they headed to Adam's car, Kate saw a very familiar car pull up, Brooke. Kate led Adam over to Brooke's car
"How long have you been a cheerleader and why didn't you tell me?" Brooke asked
"About a day, and it really wasn't on my list of things to tell you" Kate said
"Well, now that I know this boy over here convinced you to join cheerleading I have a lot more respect for him"
"Gee thanks" Adam replied not knowing if I was a compliment or not.
"Your very welcome, anyways Kate we need to do some things, so get in" Brooke said
"Sorry Sweet Cheeks, it looks like I have to go, but I promise I'll be thinking about you the whole time" Kate told Adam
"You better be, and get you fine self over here" Adam said pulling her in for a hug, Kate wrapped her arms around his neck and his arms were around her waist, just when there lips touched they both heard a loud "AWE" coming from Brooke, awkwardly the two jumped back from each other. "I'll talk to you later Babe" Adam said walking away from Brooke and Kate.
"Get you fine self in this car" Brooke mocked
"Shut up" Kate said as she got in
"So you two are cute, I though when you said Sweet Cheeks, you were going to say send me dirty texts" Brooke laughed
"AUNT, Brooke remember you're supposed to be setting a good example for me"
"Well that's what Karen's for, I'm to Aunt your supposed to tell everything"
"Ha-ha Funny, imagine you knew everything" Kate joked, Brooke raised her eyebrow "I'm kidding" Kate said a few seconds later
"So onto Operation get Naley back together"
"How do we do that?" Kate asked
"Do I really have to be the brains behind this operation?" Brooke asked
"How about we just let them talk, you know make sure they can't at least hold a civil conversation"
"But where's the fun in that?" Brooke asked
"There's a lot of fun in it, plus have you talked to Haley since you've came home?" Kate asked
"Don't change the subject, and not yet. I was letting her spend time with your father"
"What do you mean?" Kate asked
"Your Dad and Haley are at the docks right now talking"
"Are you serious, he better be nice?"
"He told me he was going to be very nice, they had some stuff to talk about"
"Well yeah, me" Kate stated, and Brooke laughed. Brooke pulled up in front of the Drive Test center. "What are we doing here?" Kate asked
"Well your dad said you still didn't have your permit, so let's go get it"
"Do we have to" Kate whined
"Yes, wouldn't you rather to drive yourself places"
'Yeah"
"Then get your fine self out of this car and go write the test"
Kate walked in the front door of her house; she kicked her shoes off and headed up to her room. "Kate, can you come in the kitchen" she heard her Dad say as she was just about to enter her room. She quickly came downstairs to the kitchen.
"Yeah dad" she asked
"As you probably know, Haley and I had a little conversation"
"From who?" Kate played dumb
"From your Aunt, she has a big mouth"
"You would know that"
"Kate" he said firmly
"Sorry Dad, I guess I spent too much time with Brooke"
"Yeah, what did you two do this afternoon?"
"She took me to get my permit"
"Oh really, did she let you drive home?"
"No, she said that's your job"
"Figures, Anyways Haley and I agreed that you shouldn't have to sneak out to see her, so we've both decided to share you"
"Share me?"
"Yes, Tuesday's and Thursday's you will stay with Haley and on Monday's Wednesday's and Friday's you will stay with me. And then every other weekend we switch"
"But why?" Kate asked
"So you can spend time with both of us"
"So basically I get to live with both of you"
"Yes, so that way you will get to know her and still live in my house with my rules"
"Thanks Dad"
"You're welcome Squirt. Now go pack your overnight back Haley's picking you up at 6"
"Will do" Kate replied hugging her dad then running off to her room
The door bell rang, it was about six o'clock, and Nathan called for Kate and went to get the door. Figures his daughter would take a long time packing for a night. He opened the door to Haley.
"Hey Haley" He greeted
"Hey, so where's that beautiful daughter of yours"
"She yours too, don't forget that"
"I haven't been in her life until now, so until she starts calling me mom. There no calling her my daughter. Even though she is, I just want her to feel safe and all you know trust me"
"She'll get used to it, give her time. I promise you six weeks down the line, you going to be wishing she'd shut up"
"I heard that" Kate yelled as she came down the stairs, with a huge suitcase.
"You're only going for one night" Nathan said
"So" Kate replied
"Your child" Nathan said to Haley as the three walked out to Haley's car
"No that is definitely a Brooke thing" Haley said back
"What's wrong with Brooke?" Kate asked
"Nothing" Haley replied
"Squirt get over here, and give your old man a hug" Nathan called Kate over.
"Fine old timer, you know I'm checking you into a old folks home when you hit 40" Kate laughed, and hugged Nathan
"Now I know I probably don't have to tell you this, but I'm going to. Behave yourself. Be the little angel you aren't for me" Nathan said
"Fine Old man, don't have any parties" Kate said getting into Haley's car. Nathan just shook his head with a grin. Haley stood there kind of lost in the conversation.
"Wait Kate" Nathan called out coming over to the side of the car where she was sitting
"What dad?"
"Here" Nathan handed Kate her phone
"Really, thanks" Kate said with a huge grin. Haley had just got into the car Nathan backed up away from the car and waved as the car pulled out of his driveway. I sight he never thought he would ever see. The two people he loved the most in the world.
The ride to Haley's was silent, Kate was too busy texting. Haley couldn't help to look over at her and smile. Kate had grown into a beautiful young lady. She didn't really even a mother anymore. Which was strange, because Haley hadn't been a mother at all, so it was all new to her she'd hoped it would she come naturally. Till then she could be her friend.
"So, how was your Aunt Brooke?" Haley asked, as she kept her eyes on the road
"Pretty good, she took me to get my drivers permit" Kate replied
"That's awesome; if you want I could take you out driving sometime"
"Would you, my Dad refuses too"
"Why would he do such a thing?"
"Because when I was little I kind of totaled my little play car that I'd drive around"
"You were a kid then and now your not. I'd trust you driving my car"
"You're the only one"
Haley pulled her car up in front of the Hotel.
"I know that were still in the Hotel, but I promise you that I am looking for a place to live, but until then this will just have to make due" Haley said as they walked through the doors to the lobby of the Hotel. "One second, I have to get you a room card, so that you can come in whenever you want" Haley walked over to the front desk, Kate quickly followed
"Hello John" Haley said to the manager who was working the desk
"Haley James, how are you enjoying your stay?" He asked
"I actually love it; could you do me a favor?" Haley asked
"What would you like?"
"An extra room key for Kate"
"And who might Kate be?" John asked
"Kate's um my…" Haley started to say
"Her daughter" Kate spoke up
"I didn't know you had a Daughter Ms. James"
"Yeah, Ms. James and I go way back" Kate said, John laughed
"She defiantly has your sense of humor" John said handing Haley the room key
"Thanks John" Haley said walking away with Kate.
The two were now in Haley's room; there were two queen beds, in the room with a small kitchen and a table, with a bathroom.
"You know, you didn't have to say that" Haley told Kate
"I know but I wanted too"
"But now the press is going to be going crazy about you"
"Do you really think that will happen?"
"I don't know, it's going to be different for you"
"I've had a lot of different for awhile I think I can handle it"
"If you think you can that's great. But, I'll always be here for you"
"Thanks Haley" Kate said looking around "So what's there to do here?" Kate questioned
"Well we could order room service and watch a movie on pay preview" Haley suggested
"That sounds great" Kate said pulling her suit case over to one of the beds and opened it up.
"What do you have there?" Haley said asking Kate as she pulled out a very familiar teddy bear.
"This is Mr. Waffles" Kate replied showing Haley the teddy bear.
"Your father gave you Mr. Waffles?" Haley asked
"Yeah, I know it was yours, it actually was the only thing that would get me to sleep. Maybe since it smelt like you"
"How would you know how I smelt?"
"Well lets just say the clothes you left behind Dad didn't exactly throw them out, he put them in my closet and well when I was five I opened it, and a daughter knows how her mother smells, since I did live inside you for nine months"
"Smart kid"
"I'm a genius"
"What movie would you like to watch?" Haley asked, as she scrolled through the list
"Must love Dogs looks good I really wanted to see that" Kate said
"Okay" Haley clicked it, the movie started with some weird sounds, when both realized what was going on, Haley got up and covered the Television. "We can't watch this"
"Opps, I didn't say dogs" Kate went bright red
"Well let's just turn off the T.V"
"Yes please"
The next morning Haley had woken up before Kate a peered out of the window and noticed many reports standing outside, great. The life she didn't want her daughter to have.
