Back at Haley's, the girls had finished the first movie, Sweet Home Alabama. Peyton had gotten up to put the next movie in. "So what's next P. Sawyer," Brooke asked.
"Um, 13 Going on 30," Peyton answered.
"Ok, cute, but what else ya got," Brooke asked her.
"How about, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," Peyton asked.
"Come on P. what's with all the fall in love, lose love, get it back at the end type movies," she asked. "You know Tutorgirl here," she said looking at Haley, "is living this story first hand and we are here this summer to watch it live," she paused, Haley and Peyton were laughing. "Ok, think Brooke," she said aloud to herself. "Oh my God, let's go crash the guy's party, it'll be fun."
Haley gave Peyton a sideways glance. Peyton was smiling, "alright," she said.
Brooke looked to Haley who quickly changed her look to a smile, "alright," she said too.
At the guy's, the first game was finished. Nathan had beat Mouth 117 to 58. The second game was Tim and Lucas. It was close 62 to 57 Lucas ahead and Tim was controlling himself. The third quarter of their game had begun when the doorbell rang. Nathan went to answer it. He opened the door and Brooke pushed past him and entered the house followed by Peyton and then Haley. "Sorry," Haley said to Nathan, "it was Brooke's idea."
"Not a problem," he said smiling. He was happy they crashed.
Brooke walked over to the couch and in the middle of the game took the controller from Tim and sat on his lap continuing to play. "Hey," she said to Tim and he leaned in and kissed her on the cheek.
Lucas, who was sitting on the couch with Tim because they were playing each other, was uncomfortable now. He paused the game and looked at Peyton, "here you play," he said holding up the controller.
"Ok," she said as she shrugged. She took the controller from him as he stood up and she sat where he had been sitting. Everyone crowded around to watch.
"So, was Keith alright," Haley asked Nathan.
"Yeah, he always is," Nathan said. "We played with my Nerf hoop on a kitchen drawer so it was low for him. But he wouldn't shoot; he just kept throwing the ball at me." Haley laughed. "It's not funny," he said laughing too.
"But he was good though," she asked him again.
"Yeah, he was. He got tired though and went to bed about an hour early," Nathan said.
"Is he up in your room," she asked him.
"Yeah," Nathan replied.
"Can I go check on him," she asked.
"Sure."
Haley went upstairs and entered Nathan's room, a room that held many memories for them. She walked over to the playpen and rested her hands on the edge of it. She stood there staring down at her son. Suddenly she felt a hand cover hers. She looked up at Nathan, "he's so sweet when he sleeps," he said.
"Yeah," she said smiling.
"Wanna see the cutest thing," Nathan asked. He leaned in real close to Keith, over his head, he was on his back. Haley could still see his face. "Daddy loves you," Nathan whispered to Keith who smiled in his sleep right on cue.
"Oh my God, that is so cute," she said tears forming.
Nathan put his arms around her and her around him. They held each other a moment then Haley broke away. "We should get back downstairs," she said. They walked downstairs hand in hand.
Brooke greeted them at the bottom of the stairs. She was smiling, "so did you tell him about the date," she asked Haley.
"What date," Nathan asked.
"Um," Haley turned to look at him, "she wants to set up a date for us like in high school."
"Are you sure," he asked looking at Brooke.
"Come on it wasn't that bad," Haley said, "as long as you're not a jerk this time," she said kind of jokingly.
"Ok," Nathan kind of sighed.
"Oh goodie," Brooke said excitedly, clapping her hands. "I know I said tomorrow Hales but I'm gonna need a few days to set it up. So I guess we'll just have to hang out with everyone until then."
