Something's Missing

By Marie Lace

Summary: Haley James was forced to move into her dad's after her mom had gotten killed about two years ago. Nathan Scott was forced to move on with his life. What happens when their lives collide once again?

A/N: This is my first fan fiction. So I would love everyone's input. Constructive criticism is certainly welcomed.

Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill or its characters. Just the ones I made up. I also did not own the song Cruella Deville Disney owned that.

My alarm clock went off at about 5:00, but I had been laying there awake long before that. I had had another dream about Ty's father and woke up crying as I normally did. I loved his dad with all my heart and I always would. I didn't think it was fair to either one of the boys that they didn't know each other. It sucked, but it was the way it had to be. I looked over at Tyler's sleeping form. At a year old he was already a spitting image of his father. I could never get passed that. I sighed as I grabbed the baby monitor and headed towards my bathroom, stopping at Marcus's room first to wake him up.

Over the time that I've been here, Marcus and I had settled into a routine for school. I'd wake up at 5:00 and wake him up so he could put the dinner dishes up and get the coffee ready. Then I'd get out of the shower and get dressed while he hopped in. After I was dressed I would get breakfast ready for the kids and get them up about 6:15. We would eat breakfast and then I'd help Lizzie get dressed while he would help Kyler. After that we would make sure they had everything they needed and let them watch cartoons. While I got Ty up, changed and fed. Marcus would be making lunches. When the twins were there, they would load the dishwasher, when they weren't we would just leave the dishes in the sink, well if our parents weren't home that day.

So that was where we were. I went to the shower and got cleaned up then got dressed. I decided to wear my tight black tank top, with my dark blue capris. I had my black flip flops on as well. After I finished dressing I decided to get up and make eggs and toast for breakfast, since it was the first day of school. Marcus came in and we woke the kids up and quietly had breakfast. I walked with Lizzie to her room.

"But Hawey! I don't want to wear this it's UGLY! I wanna wear my PINK BARBIE DWESS!"

"Lizzie, sweetie. You have to wear that. It's the rules at your school." AnnaBella decided this year she was going to enroll these two into a private school. The uniforms were quite ugly but if it was any other five year old, you wouldn't have heard the words out of their mouth. Liz was being like her mom and sister again.

"Why don't you?"
"My school doesn't make us."

"Well I'm not gonna!"

"Lizzie you are going to."

"NO!!!!"

"Elizabeth Elaine James."

"NO!"

"I'm going to count to three and if you don't get back over here, your going to get a spanken and no cartoons."

"I'll tell mommy."

"1."

"No.."

"2."

She picked up a book and chunked it across the room. I walked over there and picked her up and swatted her butt.

"You didn't say free. You lied."

"No I did not lie. You know you're not supposed to throw things. Now I'm going to get you dressed and then you are going to pick up your room and sit in here until it's time to go or I'll spank you harder." She just looked at me with tears in her eyes as I helped her get dressed. Her uniform was a gray skirt with a white blouse and a gray vest to go over it. I brushed her curly blonde hair out and pinned the sides up then put on her black shoes. I then got her book bag and made sure she had everything she needed in there. "Now Lizzie, I'm going to go get Ty ready. You need to pick up the book you threw and make your bed. Okay."

"Otay."

I walked out of the room and rolled my eyes. "Sissy, where's Lizzie?"
"Kyler, she got in trouble you sit down and watch cartoons all right?"

"Okay."

I walked into my room and seen Marcus had Ty out and was burping him. "Hey Hales. I just figured you needed some help with this one. I heard you and Lizzie."

"Yep. She gets like her mom and sister more every day, but thanks for feeding him. I'll go ahead and take it from here. Go finish getting yourself ready."

"All right." He left the room.

"Okay baby boy. Let's get you cleaned up and dressed." I ended up picking out a pair of jeans and a blue jersey with the number 23 on it. "Tyler, you want to wear the shirt that Uncle Marcus somehow managed to get you?" His eyes lit up. "MOMMY!"

"Yes baby boy. Your all done lets go."

His eyes focused on a picture that I forgot to put up. "Oooo.." I sighed. "That's your daddy baby."

"DADDY!"

"Yes sweetie. Daddy."

We got everything ready and headed out to get to school.

And Review.

Much love
