Go! Listen. Love. Be Happy!

Chapter 11 -

Ring … ring .. ring …

The unanswered phone echoed throughout the house.

Hey you've reached Nathan, Haley, Jamie and Chester Scott. Sorry we can't come to the phone right now but leave a message and one of us will call you back. Hopefully not Chester. Haley's light-hearted giggle followed her own comment. Bye for now.

Deb hung up before the "beep."

"Sorry Jimmy Jam, but your momma and daddy aren't home." She said as she took a seat on the bed with him. "Are you feeling any better?" she asked. She was talking in a whisper to avoid waking Dylan who was sleeping peacefully in his playpen at the end of the bed Jamie was lying in.

"Nanny Deb my tummy hurts" he wimpered.

"I know baby" she soothed "I will try and call them again soon." She ran her hand over his sandy blonde hair and down to his forehead. "I think you have a fever bud, you're warm."

"Momma sings to me when I'm sick," Jamie pouted. "can you sing to me grandma?" He didn't even stop himself from using the dreaded "G" word so she knew he really wasn't feeling well, but she also knew her singing might make him feel worse. Where were his parents at 7:30 in the morning?

Haley yawned as she sat at the picnic table facing the river court. Between the pregnancy and the activities she took part in with her husband last night she was exhausted. Her tired eyes flew open and beamed with joy when she saw Nathan perform one of his signature slam dunks. It was barely 8 a.m. but she couldn't imagine being anywhere but here with Nathan. When she had felt him get out of bed this morning her heart sank, she felt like she needed to be with him. Sure, she always had that feeling but today was different; stronger. It took a little convincing to get him to agree to her following him to his morning practice, he used the argument of her needing rest but he quickly gave in when she looked at him with those chocolate brown eyes and pleaded. Besides, he couldn't lie, he wanted her with him too, always and forever.

"Hey 23! Call me." She shouted through her hands that were cupped around her mouth.

A smirk grew on Nathan's face and he put down his basketball. He walked towards her, climbed on top of the table and snaked his legs around her. She felt so at ease. She rested her head against his strong chest and felt it rising and falling to the rhythm of his breathing. She slowly closed her sleepy eyes and relaxed completely.

"How you feeling babe?" he asked as he laced his fingers through hers.

"Tired" she stated groggily.

Nathan planted a kiss on top of her curly blonde hair, "What do you say, we go home and take a nap together?"

"I say that sounds perfect." She smiled.

"Cause I'm exhausted, you wore me out last night" he said huskily into her ear.

"Sure, blame me. I'm the one falling asleep as we speak." She said through her second yawn.

"Yeah but it was totally worth the exhaustion, don't you think?" he was now kissing his way down her jaw line.

"Totally" she murmured "Now take me home for that nap."

Nathan stood up and walked infront of her offering his hand to help her up, "As you wish." He smiled and the two headed for their black SUV parked on the grass.

Julian slowly began waking up. He peeled open his eyes and saw his leather jacket sprawled on the floor where it had landed after he ripped it off the night before. His-should-be-illegal grin stretched across his lips at the thought and he rolled over to reach for the woman he loved but quickly realised he was alone in bed.

"What the…" his voice trailed.

There's no baby to wake her. Where cold she be? He thought to himself. Then he heard the sound of the shower running. Pulling back the sheets he stood up and walked towards the front room. It was spotless and the coffee machine had a fresh pot waiting to be drank. Just as I thought.

"Brooke?" he questioned walking into the bathroom.

"Good morning handsome," she said through the shower door, "I already made coffee."

"I saw. Were you awake super early wishing you had a baby to tend too?" he asked already knowing the answer.

"…maybe" he could practically hear her blushing.

"I love how much you miss the boy but he's in good hands, we should enjoy the time we have to do whatever we want." His tone had changed to flirty.

"And what do we want to do exactly?" She returned fire.

"This" he said pulling open the shower door and joining her.

"Oh yes, I like this idea" she said as seriously as she could trying to hide the large dimple-prominent smile on her face.

Due to the sound of the shower beating against the floor of the tub among other things, neither Brooke nor Julian heard the phone ring when Deb attempted to call them.

Nathan and Haley lied in bed cozy and warm. Haley had been drifting calmly in and out of sleep while Nathan read the paper and used his free hand to play with some of her loose curls.

As he skimmed through the news and made his way for sports he noticed the date on the paper. January 25th. He knew this date … "Hey beautiful, do you know what day it is" he whispered, hoping she was still awake enough to answer him.

"Friday" she mumbled into his chest.

"Yeah," he laughed "but more specifically today is you and Baby Scott number two's 18 week check up. You have an ultrasound today."

"You are so cute, you know that? You know how far along I am to the day."

"I'm a little excited, alright."

"I love you" was her only response before reburying her head in the crook of his arm.

"I love you too, what time is the appointment? 3:30?"

"Yup, can I sleep now please?" she joked.

"Sorry, go to bed. My baby and my other baby need some rest." He said kissing her forehead then bringing his hand down to rest on their unborn child. "This okay?" he asked making sure he hadn't disturbed her comfortable position.

"Perfect." She sighed.

Once they were out of the shower Brooke saw the phone light flashing. Deb had decided to leave them a message. She knew Brooke was probably missing Dylan like crazy and figured the sooner they took him home the lower his chances would be of catching whatever Jamie had. Besides, Jamie was her grandson and although she certainly wasn't his mom she could take care of him right?

Brooke listened to the message then repeated it to Julian.

"Alright wifey, lets go get our baby." He said playfully.

They hooped into the car and went straight to Deb's. Dylan was still sleeping when they got there and they managed to get him from his playpen to his car seat without much fuss. The happy family of three made their way home and went on with their day. Julian read over a few scripts. Nothing really caught his eye until he came to one about a college couple who face a terminal illness. His particularly liked the food references. Who doesn't love cinnamon applesauce, cookies and chips? He thought to himself with a dorky smile on his face. He placed the script in a separate pile to give it a more thorough read when Dylan wasn't throwing his mashed corn all over the kitchen. Brooke worked on some sketches but like Julian, she decided that it could wait until the kitchen was a safe baby free zone, this was known as nap time.

Nathan woke up around one that afternoon. He didn't realise how much of the day had escaped them. He moved slowly and gently out of bed without waking Haley and went downstairs to call his mom.

"Nathan, honey where have you been? I have called you guys 5 times."

"Sorry mom Haley and I went to the river court this morning then we came home and fell back asleep. What's wrong, is Jamie okay?" His voice started to sound panicky.

"He must have a flu bug or something, he was complaining of a sore stomach and he threw up a few times. I think he has a fever too. Nathan, he asked me to sing. He just wants his mom."

"He wanted you to sing? Oh no. Where is he now?" Nathan asked.

"Sleeping, finally. He just fell asleep about 20 minutes ago watching Goonies. He really loves that movie."

"I know he does," Nathan laughed. "Listen, mom, Haley has a doctors appointment at 3:30. I don't want her worried or anything so how about we pick him up after that? If he gets worse call me and I can come sooner."

"Alright honey. How far along is Haley now?" She asked.

"18 weeks." He said proudly

"Usually between 18 and 20 weeks you can find out the sex you know. Are you and Haley going to ask?"

"Um Im not sure, I didn't know when that was going to be an option. I will talk to her about it though." He answered.

"Okay honey, good luck at the appointment. Love you."

"Bye, love you too." Nathan hung up the phone. Wow. He thought. Today he could find out if he was going to have his little girl.
