"Nathan…" Haley giggled. "Nathan get off of me"

"Why?" Nathan whined. "I enjoy being on top of you"

"Hey! Little ears" Haley giggled. 3 month old Amy was lying in her crib next to their bed, sleeping soundly.

"She's sleeping her little head off, Haley, she can't hear a thing" Nathan laughed.

"How much money do you wanna bet?" Haley whispered.

"How about 500 dollars?" Nathan whispered back.

"Let's raise it to a thousand" Haley giggled softly.

"Fine by me…I wanted a new Rolex anyway" Nathan hummed, pretending to shine his fingernails.

"Nathan Scott you are the most egotistical man I've ever met" Haley giggled.

"But I'm your egotistical man, right?" Nathan asked.

"Right…" Haley said, rolling her eyes.

"I better be…" he laughed, tickling Haley.

"Mommy and Daddy!" Tristan shouted, running into the room.

"Tristan, must you yell?" Haley asked, pulling her son into her lap.

"Yes it's the only way you listen" Tristan pouted. "I'm going outside!"

"Ok make sure the maid's with you, ok?"

"No she doesn't let me play in the street!"

"Good maid we hired…" Nathan laughed. "Buddy, you can't play in the street"

"Why not?"

"Because the cars are gonna come and I don't want you to get hurt" Nathan explained.

"Fine" Tristan sighed, shook his head, and jumped off the bed. "Bye Amy!"

At that moment, Amy cracked one green eye open and woke up.

"Great" Haley sighed. "Hi Amy! How are you?" she asked, picking her daughter up.

"I always expect an answer when I ask her questions because I'm so used to Tristan answering" Nathan laughed, taking her from Haley.

"You sit and chill with daddy baby girl while I make your milk, ok?" Haley instructed, hopping out of bed.

Nathan watched Haley in admiration as she swiftly made the milk, tested it, and handed it to Nathan.

"What do you want for breakfast?" Haley asked.

"A kiss" Nathan smiled.

"That I can give…" Haley murmured, kissing him.


"Daddy, watch me! I can do a cartwheel!" Tristan yelled.

"Tristan Michael Scott you are NOT gonna cartwheel into the pool!" Haley called.

"Daddy…" Tristan whined. "I wanna cartwheel"

"Come on Hales, let him do a cartwheel"

"Absolutely not! What if he hits his head?"

"I'm in the pool with him, I'll catch him" Nathan said.

"Fine" Haley shook her head. "I'm outnumbered"

"YEAH!" Tristan yelled, cart-wheeling into the pool. "That was awesome!" he yelled, emerging from the surface. "Do you wanna play pool basketball Dad?"

"Sure buddy"

"See, Amy, this is what Daddy does" Haley said, whispering to her daughter. "He plays basketball nonstop with Tristan and Uncle Lucas"

"Why the whispering?" Lucas asked, coming up behind Haley.

"Ah! Lucas you scared me!"

"Hi Haley…" Lucas laughed. "And Amy! How's my favorite niece?"

"She's doing good"

"Hey I think she's MY favorite niece" Brooke laughed, coming up and smacking Lucas's butt.

"Bring it, Brooke" Lucas laughed, kissing her.

"Its so good to see you two back together and happy" Haley smiled at them. "I missed silly old Brooke and Lucas"

"Yeah, so did I" Brooke smiled, hugging Lucas.

"Mama!" Dayna yelled, toddling quickly after Emily.

"Dayna!" Brooke laughed, reaching down and picking her up. "Emmy darling, are you running your poor baby sister to death?"

"No, mommy, I's trying to find Tristan"

"HI EMILY!" Tristan yelled from the pool.

"Tristan! I found a new secret passage!" Emily yelled back.

"You're not supposed to tell the SPIES about the passage!" Tristan reprimanded, shaking his head.

"Are we the spies?" Haley asked Nathan.

"I think so" Brooke laughed.

"Ok we better get going we wanted to drop by and say hi to you guys" Lucas said, picking Dayna up off the ground

"Ok…don't be strangers" Haley said. "Come around later, ok?"

"Ok…we're going to go take the kids to go see Karen and Keith and Andrea, we haven't seen them in a very long time"

"Yeah we've gotta do that soon" Haley sighed. "Ok, have fun…bye!"

"Bye!" Brooke called, following Lucas across the grass lawn and onto their driveway.

"Tristan! I think its time to get out of the pool for lunch baby doll" Haley called.

"Five more minutes?" Tristan asked.

"I can't say no to those puppy dog Nathan eyes" Haley sighed. "Yes, five more minutes will be fine"

"I thought we talked about being strong and firm with the kids?" Nathan laughed.

"Shut up Nathan you bought him a new play station yesterday" Haley giggled.

"But his was broken and he looked so pathetic…" Nathan sighed. "What can we do? Our lives revolve around our children…I'm sure Amy will be just as spoiled if not more, but as long as they're good kids, ya know? Tristan didn't throw one fit when we were in the electronic store. Kids his age would throw enormous fits if they saw the stuff that was stocked in the store"

"That's true…" Haley said. "Same with Brooke's girls. Emily and Dayna are the two most well behaved children I've ever met. I don't think Emily's thrown a single fit in her 4 year long life...they make Andrea seem like a holy terror and that poor girl is so shy"

"Yeah" Nathan smiled, taking Amy from Nathan. "Yep, she's a copy of me"

"She is…" Haley sighed. "Neither of my children look like me"

"My genes pushed your genes out" Nathan laughed.

"Shush" Haley giggled. "Amy has my nose"

"But she has my eye color and hair color and mouth and face and…"

"Nathan…" Haley whined. "You're so mean to me"

"Only because I love you…"

"Mhmm…you're sleeping on the couch tonight"

"Ouch…"


"Nathan Scott this is all your fault! I'm freezing and almost NAKED…TRISTAN MICHAEL SCOTT OPEN THE DOOR!" Haley yelled.

"Mommy I can't reach the lock!" Tristan yelled back through the door.

"Buddy get a stool, not a swivel chair, and then carefully stand on it until you can reach it, ok?" Nathan instructed, holding back tears of laughter.

"Nathan this isn't funny! I'm in my bra and underwear out where the neighbors can see us and Amy is inside and I can hear her crying…AMY MOMMY'S COMING!" Haley yelled.

"Haley, relax…the maid's with her" Nathan said.

"Nathan! Skinny dipping was your idea! We are nearly grown adults, we can't do stuff like this anymore!"

"We're 25, Hales, we can" Nathan laughed.

"Does that explain why I am in my underclothes in the front yard at 11:00 PM at night?"

"Haley, you gotta live a little" Nathan said.

"Tristan, why don't you call the maid, huh?" Haley yelled.

"Mrs. Scott, I'm here" the maid's saucy Spanish accent floated through the door.

"Oh no, Maria, can you get Cindy please?" Haley begged. "She's never going to be able to open the door" Haley whispered to Nathan.

"What, Mrs. Scott?"

"GET CINDY!"

"Cindy is not here anymore, ma'am"

"Oh great…Nathan Scott, it's officially 11:13 PM, I am in lingerie, on my front yard, dripping wet and freezing"

"Yes but you're also having the time of your life"

"You're SO sleeping on the couch tonight…"
