Brooke tapped her fingers on the counter. Where was Lucas? Haley and Nathan were already there. The food was ready. Lucas was the only thing missing. Finally, Brooke heard the front door open. She smiled and rushed over to the door. Her jaw hit the floor.

"Make room for one more, please," Lucas said.

Casually she took a deep breath and nodded, "Of course."

Brooke grabbed a plate from the kitchen and waited a second for Lucas to barge in and explain himself. Two minutes she waited and he didn't come. She sighed and put on a fake smile. Gently, she placed the plate in front of Dan.

"I hope everyone likes lasagna and garlic bread," Brooke announced as she took her seat next to Lucas.

Silence.

Nathan wasn't happy at all. He kept his eyes focused on Dan. Dan, however, was chowing down on the lasagna without a care in the world. This was code for disaster.

"So, Haley, you're pregnant," Dan said not really as a statement or question.

Haley's eyes widened, "Yes, sir."

"That's….great," Dan said. He lied and it was obvious. Now, there was an awful cloud hanging over there heads. Nathan was a ticking time bomb, Brooke thought.

"Yeah, it's fucking amazing!" Nathan said like a smart ass. Brooke rolled her eyes and cringed. Here it comes.

Dan cleared his throat, "Good lasagna, Brooke."

She smiled at the compliment she had just received, "Thank you."

"Trying to sponge off another kid?" Nathan snapped.

Dan dropped his fork and snapped his head up to face Nathan, "I'm sorry?"

"Trying to sponge off another kid?" Nathan repeated himself louder this time.

Dan exhaled sharply, "Can't I just have a nice dinner with both of my sons?"

Nathan scoffed, "Don't act all innocent! So, tell me, why are you hanging out with Lucas all of the sudden? I mean, you think I'm going to turn into you?"

Silence.

"No, I never thought that. I am just sad that Haley got pregnant before you guys got your college degree. Haley is very smart, and so are you, you'll figure it out. Basketball isn't going to be your ticket anymore," Dan said firmly.

Brooke glared at Lucas. She was going to thank him later for inviting Dan. Haley rubbed Nathan's arm. She wanted him to stop being an idiot.

However, he continued stubbornly, "I'm going to continue to play basket ball and if you don't like it, cram it! You didn't want anything to do with Lucas until you found out Haley was pregnant! I can't believe mom told you!"

"She didn't tell me. I just found out when I sat down to eat and saw Haley," he said.

"Nathan!" Haley whispered sharply. This was ridiculous!

"Well, why would you make Lucas do chores for you if you really loved him? Huh?" Nathan asked.

"Dude!" Lucas snapped.

Still, he continued, "Come on, lets here it!"

"If I don't care, then neither should you!" Lucas hissed. He was tired of this drama. Brooke has cancer and she made a good dinner with enough energy. He was sad he was ruining this for her.

"Wow, dad's little boy already?" he sassed. Haley smacked Nathan on the arm.

"Get the fuck out of my house, now!" Lucas roared as he stood up. Within a blink of an eye he was by Nathan. "Aw, protecting daddy! You are so pathetic!"

A just like a twig, Lucas snapped, "Get out of my house or I will throw you out! You are way out of line! How dare you start something when Brooke made a nice meal. She hasn't been able to get off the couch but she did for you--you ungrateful little shit!"

"I-"

"Nathan, shut up!" Haley snapped. Lucas grabbed Nathan by the shirt collar and dragged him outside of his house. He locked the door. Like nothing ever happened, he sat down and continued to eat.

"Well, that was interesting," Brooke said slowly. Haley, to her surprise, stayed and continued to eat her dinner.

"I'm so sorry," Haley said like her child just broke a vase.

Brooke laughed, "Dinner and a show, right?"

"Well, I am sure you want me to go after all of this, I'm sorry," Dan said.

Brooke shook her head, "No, stay."

Lucas nodded his head in agreement, "We are going to watch Camp Rock tonight for the hundredth time."

Dan raised a brow, "Is that the one with the Jones brothers?"

"JONAS!" Haley and Brooke yelled in unison. They were fan girls and he had sinned in Jonas church!

Dan laughed, "Oh, my mistake."

"They are only the most gorgeous human beings in the world!" Haley said.

"Besides you, babe," Brooke said quickly. She blew him a kiss.

He rolled his eyes, "You'd drop me in a heart beat for Joe!"

"Oh, Edward Cullen is hot too!" Haley added.

Brooke shook her head, "Nope. Jacob is better!"

Dan glanced at Lucas who quickly commented, "They went from Camp Rock to Twilight, just nod your head occasionally."

"Isn't that a vampire thing?" Dan asked.

Haley and Brooke's eyes glistened like they won the lottery, "You know this?"

Dan nodded, "It's everywhere, quite annoying."

"You are going to love Camp Rock, I promise!" Brooke assured.

The first twenty minutes of the movie, Dan kept reminding them that he was almost forty and this wasn't his cup of tea. Then, the songs got catchy and just like the flu, he got engulfed by it.

"I just wanna play my music," Dan sang as he put on his coat.

"I am proud to call you father-in-law," Haley teased as she playfully shoved him.

"Well, what's next, Twilight?" he asked.

Brooke shrugged, "Sure, if that's what you want."

He nodded, "My place."

Brooke smiled as he walked out of the house. Haley and Brooke crossed their eyes and looked at Lucas.

"He wanted me to be a part of his life and I am trying to give him a chance," he explained quickly. No need for a long story.

"He's not that bad," Brooke said half shocked that she even liked hanging out with him.

"I agree," Haley chimed in.

"Well, I am going to bed, I have to go to work tomorrow," he kissed Brooke on the forehead. "Night, Hales."

Haley gave him a hug and watched him retreated to Brooke and his bedroom, "I can't believe Nathan!"

"It's alright Haley," Brooke assured her mortified friend as they sat down on the couch.

"He's jealous that Lucas can play basketball next year and this year. He's mad that Lucas is going to be captain and not him. He's mad that I'm pregnant, not like I can help it. He's mad that he is going to have to work," Haley said softly. The hurt was visible in her eyes. "This wasn't supposed to happen."

"Yesterday you were happy, what happened?" she asked as she gently rubbed Haley's back.

She sighed, "Nathan came home in a bad mood and started treating me like a slave!"

Brooke opened her mouth to say something but Haley's phone rang cutting her off. Haley answered the phone. Brooke watched as her eyes widened and she held her stomach.

"Hales?" Brooke asked softly. Haley closed her phone.

"Nathan is in the hospital!" she said frantically. Brooke was panicking now too.

Coming up: Nathan is in the hospital, why? Lucas and his mom talk. Haley and Brooke go crazy, literally. Diary entry. Just as the chaos seems to stop, it keeps getting better.

Later on: wedding plans and baby names.
