Chapter Six

It has been 3 weeks since Nathan and I started sleeping together. I didn't really feel any different. Nathan and I are together almost every single night, but nothing's happening!

I sighed and filled up a mug with some coffee. It's Monday morning and I had to go to school. "Mind pouring me some?"

I turned to face Nathan and smiled, handing him my cup. "Good morning," I said.

He kissed my cheek and then sat down. "Good morning. So, feeling any different this morning?"

I shook my head and then poured myself some coffee. "No, no different," I replied. I sat down beside him with a frown. "What if I'm just not supposed to have babies? What if I'm destined to have kids?"

He scooted closer to me and wrapped an arm around my shoulder. "It's going to happen, Haley, don't worry!" he comforted, then added, "I don't care how long it takes us! I'll stay up all night-"

I laughed. "Nathan-"

"I will call in sick to work-"

"Nathan-"

"I will not leave this apartment until you are pregnant!"

"Nate!" I exclaimed, laughing. "I get the point! I'm just sad that I'm not pregnant already," I admitted.

He kissed my forehead. "Hales, couples will try for months and months to get pregnant. You just have to keep faith that it'll happen okay?"

I nodded. "You're right," I said. I stood up. "Well, I gotta go to work. I'll see you when I get home?"

He nodded. "Yeah, we have more work to do," he replied, wiggling his eyebrows.

I playfully swatted at him. "Shut up!" I said and then left.

"Okay, kids, everyone gather in a circle, okay?" I said, smiling at my students. So, they weren't really my students. This was pre-kindergarten; I had 3 and 4 year olds running around. "Kelsey, come on sweetie." I took the girl's hand and led her to a spot in the circle. "Okay, so I'm going to read a story. By the time it's over your mommies and daddies will be here to pick you up."

"Miss Hawey?"

I looked over to see Brian. He was one of the older children. "Yes, Brian?"

"Will you read da tree little pigs? Dats my favorite story!"

I smiled at him. "Of course I can," I replied. "How does that sound to everyone else?" I asked and they all cheered. I laughed. "Okay, here it is. The Three Little Pigs," I started.

About 20 minutes, a few different voices, and many different facial expressions later, the story was over. I smiled as I looked at my kids. Some were falling asleep, some were getting anxious to leave, while others sat still, content in the moment. I looked at the clock and stood up. "Okay, kids, it's time to go. First, I need all of you to clean your areas!" I said.

They stood up and went to their table, cleaning up the crayons, markers and papers that were scattered everywhere. In about 10 minutes it looked a little bit cleaner and parents were starting to enter the room. Some stopped to talk to me about how their child was developing, while others just waved as they took their child. Soon enough it was just me and my new teacher's assistant, Bevin. She was 23 years old and she aspired to be a kindergarten teacher. "Well, Bev, that's all for today. How do you like it here so far?"

She smiled at me. "I love it, really! All the kids are really sweet. I can't wait until I can become a kindergarten teacher," she said.

I gave her a smile. "Just a year away, right?" I asked.

She nodded. "Yeah, nobody has an opening until next fall. Who knows, maybe I'll have some of your kids next year!"

"Maybe," I replied. "Well, I'm just going to clean up a little more before getting out of here."

She nodded. "Okay, I'll help you," she said.

My cell phone rang and I grabbed it. "Yes Nathan?" I said with a smile.

He laughed. "We're going out to dinner tonight," he stated.

"Oh really?" I asked, rolling my eyes. "I don't get any say in this?"

"You don't want to go out to dinner with me?" he countered.

I laughed. "That depends."

"On…?" he pushed.

"Are you paying?" I asked, grinning.

"Yes, I am. Now do you want to go out to dinner?"

I smiled. "Yes, I do! Where are you taking me?" I asked, taking a seat. The entire time I'm on the phone, Bevin is grinning at me. I just brushed it off.

I could hear the grin in his voice. "You'll just have to wait and see," He replied. "I'll see you in a little bit, Hales."

I nodded. "Okay, I'll be home in about 20 minutes. Bye."

"Bye, Hales."

I put my phone back in my purse and cleaned quicker. Bevin laughed. I looked up at her. "What are you laughing at?"

She shook her head. "Boyfriend?" she asked.

I smiled and shook my head. "Nope, my best friend, Nathan," I replied.

"Could've fooled me! It sounded like you were talking to a boyfriend."

I shrugged. "All my friends say we should be dating, but we're only friends! That's how it's going to be."

She held her up her hands. "I was just saying! I didn't mean to make you upset."

I sighed. "No, you didn't. See, Nathan and I have a weird relationship right now," I started and then paused.

She motioned for me to continue. "How so?"

"Well, I really want to have a baby. I mean, I always wanted to get married when I was 22 and then have kids starting at 23, but I'm 25 and husbandless and childless." She nodded. "So, I told him I wanted to have a baby and he agreed to help me."

She grinned. "So, you're sleeping with him?"

I laughed. "Yes, I am."

"Are you developing feelings for him or something?" she asked.

I shrugged. "I've always loved Nathan, but nothing more than as a best friend. He's been there for me through everything. He's the one constant in my life." She smiled and I groaned. "Please don't say we need to be together! I'm sick of hearing that! Nathan loves me as a best friend as I do him. That's all we'll ever be."

She nodded. "Okay, I won't," She replied. I rolled my eyes and she laughed. "Well, we're all cleaned up. I'm heading out of here."

I nodded. "See you tomorrow," I said and she left. I stood up and grabbed my purse. I turned off the lights and headed towards my car. It took 7 minutes to get home. I walked up the stairs and then into my apartment. "Nate? I'm home!"

He came out of his bedroom, wearing a black button down shirt and dark blue jeans. I raised my eyebrows. "Do you like what you see, Haley James?" he asked.

I laughed and hugged him. "Lookin' good, Scott! Got a hot date tonight?" I asked.

He shoved me playfully. "Go get ready! We have reservations for 5!"

I looked at my phone for the time. It was 4:30. "Okay, what do I have to wear?" I asked.

He shrugged. "I'm in jeans, Hales, so nothing too fancy," he replied.

I sighed and went into my room. He wasn't any help! I looked for a nice dress. I found a burgundy halter dress and slipped it on. I did my makeup and hair quickly before walking out of my room. "Okay, let's go!" I said, catching his attention.

He looked up at me from his spot on the couch. "You look amazing, Hales," he said and stood. "Ready to go?"

I nodded. "Yes, let's go!"
