A/N: Had no idea where I was going with this, but I just wrote it at the spur of the moment. I hope you like it.
But in the meantime I have actually sat down to plan a lot of new stories and I would like people to visit my profile and vote for their favorites.
Chapter Eight: Dinner Invite
"Nathan, I'd like to speak to you when you have a moment," Dan says from the outside of his son's bedroom.
Nathan sighs and follows his father into the living room.
"What is it dad?"
"What is this I hear about you playing daddy to some little girl?"
"Her name is Andrea, dad and I'm not playing daddy. I really like Haley. I've been dating her for the past few months. And I like her daughter."
"What about your dreams, Nathan? If you tie yourself to these people, you won't play basketball like you want to. You won't go to Duke like you want to. What are you going to do?"
"Dad, you don't get to run my life. I like Haley. I love Haley, and I love Andrea and I'm hoping they love me. And who says I can't have what I want. I just get the added bonus to have two very beautiful girls by my side when I do."
"He's right Dan," A voice from behind the arguing father and son said.
Nathan turned around and came face to face with his mom.
"Mom."
"Dan, it sounds like our son is becoming a man. Let him have this and Nathan, tell Haley that we would like to meet her and her daughter. I'll cook," Deb offers with a small smile.
Nathan smiles.
"When mom?"
"Let's go with tomorrow night. It's a Friday, there's no school the next day."
"I'll ask Haley, thanks mom," Nathan says before kissing his mother on the cheek before leaving the house.
Dan looks at his wife with a sigh.
"Nathan has potential Deb. If he dates this girl, god forbid, he marries this girl, he'll lose everything."
"Dan, he's our son and I know that I'll love him no matter what he does in the future. Can you say the same for yourself?"
Deb left Dan in the living room to think about what she had said. She was proud of her son and knew that no matter what she would make sure that Nathan didn't turn out like Dan. She loved her husband, but she didn't want her son to turn out like his father.
-One's a Number, Three's Family-
"So, how are things with you and Jake?" Haley asks with a grin.
Brooke blushes at her friend.
Brooke and Jake have been dating for the past month. Jake had finally gotten over his fears and had asked Brooke out. Brooke had agreed and they have been inseparable ever since. Brooke knew it wasn't love yet, but she knew it could get there. And for Jake, it was a bonus that Brooke was so good with his daughter.
"It's going well. I mean all we have done is kiss. But I'm okay with that which is really odd for me considering my past with boys."
"I'm really proud of you Brooke. You are actually in a real relationship."
"I am, aren't I?" Brooke says with a grin.
Haley laughs.
"Yeah, you are."
Andi comes running from her room and plops down on the couch next to her mom.
"Hey there sweetie, what were you doing in your room?" Haley questions her daughter. She had been quiet for a long time.
"Stuff," Andi replies vaguely with a smile.
Haley raises an eyebrow.
"What do you mean by stuff?"
Andi shrugs her shoulders and Brooke laughs out loud. Haley turns to Brooke.
"Haley, your daughter is so cute," Brooke gushes.
"Thank you," Andi says with a bright smile.
Haley couldn't help, but laugh at her daughter's antics. She really was a sweet little girl.
When there's a knock on the door, Andi is quickly up and off the couch getting ready to answer it. Andi reaches up to open the door and smiles when she sees who is on the other side of it.
"Nathan!" Andi says with a smile.
"Andi," Nathan states with a grin as he holds out his fist. Andi does the same and the fist bump each other. From the couch, Brooke and Haley are smiling as they watch the interaction. Nathan had changed in the last few months since he got to know Haley and Andi. Anyone could see that.
Nathan picks Andi up from the ground and walks further into the apartment. He shuts the door and drops Andi onto the couch. Nathan gives Haley a sweet kiss and pulls away with a smile.
"Hi."
"Hey," Haley replies.
Brooke rolls her eyes and gets up from the couch.
"I think I am going to go over to Jake's so if you'll excuse me."
"Bye, Aunt Brooke."
"Bye sweet bumble-bee."
Nathan takes over Brooke's seat as soon as she leaves.
"My parents want you over for dinner tomorrow night, you and Andi."
Andi crawls into Haley's lap and Nathan smiles at the young girl.
"I don't think I can do that Nathan. What if they hate me?"
"My dad probably already does, but I'm not doing this for him. I'm doing this for my mom. She really wants to meet the two people that I have been talking about nonstop."
Andi crawls away from her mother and situates herself in Nathan's lap, surprising him, Haley smiles.
"You talk about me."
"Yes, Andi, I do. I happen to like you."
Andi places her hands on Nathan's shoulders and looks at him square in the eye.
"You make mommy smile, and you make me smile. Do we make you smile?"
Haley starts laughing and Nathan smiles. He really loved this little girl so much.
"You make me smile really big."
"Good," Andi says before turning to her mother. "I want to go to Nathan's house," Andi directs to her mother.
Haley sighs and nods her head.
"I guess, but if your parents are rude to my daughter for one second, then we're gone."
"Understood."
