"Hey Jake!" Haley screamed as she greeted him out side. She had been sitting by her window, waiting for him since she called him back. He had told her that he missed her and that he wanted to come home with Jenny. When she had heard those words uttered from her brothers mouth her eyes immediately filled with tears of joy. Her brother and niece meant everything to her.

"Hey little sister" Jake whispered into Haley's ear, while under her large embrace.

"Ok, now get out of my way so I can see my favorite niece!" Haley screeched as she ran to the car and clumsily swung open the door. "Jenny-bear!" Haley hastily unbuckled the baby and swung her around in a playful manner.

"So you're really staying?" Jake and Haley had talked for hours on end after they had gotten everything settled. Jake is really staying. He had decided the he couldn't keep living on the move like he was. But most importantly he couldn't stand to be away from his baby sister. Sure there was Jason, Vivian, Quinn, even Taylor…but Haley…Haley was different. She was his Haley, the Haley he would always protect.

"You do realize that for the past…" Jake casually shook his wrist looking at her watch. "hour, you have asked me over and over if I'm really staying on which many accounts I have assured you that I am. So, as much as I'd love to see this lame conversation continue, its three in the morning on a Friday, and I hate a meeting with the school board tomorrow. Something about making sure that I'll put all my effort in or something. So can you watch jenny tomorrow?"

"Do birds fly?" Haley said in a duh tone and passed him as she ran up the stairs. Jake sat in silence for a few moments after he heard Haley's bedroom door slam. Thinking about his decision, the one he made three days ago for the two most important people in his life. He was brought out of he thought when her noted the small sound of a creaking door. When he looked up at the stairs he saw a timid Haley looking back at him.

"I love you big brother." She sadly smiled to him and them made her way back to her room.

'that chick is too weird' Jake thought as he bowed hi head down and shook it with laughter.

"Jen, I love you to death but will you please shut up?" Haley whined at the screaming child. Jake had left about an hour ago, and somewhere in there he had called to tell Haley that he wasn't going to be back anytime soon. Haley held the crying baby on her hip as she heated a bottle for her on the stove. Just then the door bell rang. "AHHH!" Haley was feeling just a tad bit overwhelmed. Haley cursed under her breath on the way to the door. "Yes?" She deadpanned angrily as she flung to door open. "Oh Nathan. Hey, I wasn't expecting you." She apologetically smiled and gestured for him to come inside.

"So have you seen Haley in school?" Peyton hinted, seemingly implying what she thought of as true lust. It had been a few days since Haley had slept over the night and Peyton would not stop teasing Nathan.

"No, and I don't want to anyways." Peyton doubled over in laughter at her brother's comment. She was always able to tell when he was lying…and this time was no different.

"So...are you going to ask her to the dance?" She innocently lifted her spoon of ice cream into her mouth.

"Give it a rest god damn it! And what the hell are you doing eating ice cream at…9:oo on a Saturday, why are you up this early? Hell, why am I up this early?"

"What the fuck is this 20 questions? I'm eating this atrocious coconut ice cream because it was the only thing edible in this goddamn house, and I woke you up because I broke a bowl and didn't want to step on glass." Peyton ended her small rant with a cheesy smile.

"What ever." He mumbled in defeat.

"Can you go over there for me. I think I left my jacket last week?" Peyton had to go into the living room so he couldn't see her face.

Yes! Yes! Yes! "No." Why the hell am I so stubborn?

"Come on! I have sketch due by five and it sucks…so please?" Peyton said trying her best not to laugh. God I suck at lying. And he knows that…OMG! If he says yes that he totally wants to go see her. Oh sweet jesus please say yes!

"Fine." Nathan grabbed his car keys and headed out the door. Nathan sat in his car mumbling different scenarios about what was about to 'go down' in his head. None would ever come close to what he was about to come head to head with.

"Yes? Oh gosh, Nathan. I wasn't expecting you." she motioned for him to come in after he had knocked on the door.

"I- uh, Peyton. She left her jacket. Uh" This is bad. This is very, very bad! She has a kid! Oh god, oh boy. Calm down Scott. Breathe.

"Jacket? Hmmm…I don't think so, let me check. Um, can you hold Jenny for me?" What the hell am I supposed to do with this thing?
