CRAZY PEOPLE
Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love
-Jane Austen-
Luc and I looked at Peyton and Brooke for a moment in stunned silence. Then we burst out laughing. Immediately the two glared at us. "Hello, trying to have a touching make up moment here, could you two not interrupt?' Brooke said. Luc and I just laughed harder. It was good to have the two of them be friends again.
After a few more moments of idle chatter, Brooke and Peyton went off to find me the Quote: Best maternity outfit ever: End Quote. Lucas and I sat down on of the benches in the mall. "So," he said to me after a few moments of awkward silence, "I'm gonna be an uncle?" "Looks that way." I said kidding. "Unless I have a basket-ball growing in me, which considering this family's addiction to sports is a definite possibility." Lucas looked at me and grinned. "Man, teaching this little guy how to play B-ball is gonna be great."
I slapped him lightly on the arm. "And what if it's a girl, mister?" He looked at me for a moment. "We have a girl's basket-ball team.' he finally said. I rolled my eyes. "I think I'm just gonna have this kid play baseball." Lucas looked at me as though I had grown an extra head. "No way." He said. "Basketball is the best sport there is." "Right." I said, "Whatever you say."
After a few more moments of playful banter his tone turned serious. "Nathan would be really happy about this, Haley." "I know." I said, and for one moment it was as thought I could feel Nathan there with me, then it was gone.
