A/N-This is a big Nathan chapter.
"Mama Nathan is the best!" Jamie said. Haley helped him get dressed for bed while he talked about basketball and Nathan Scott.
"Did you see daddy honey?" Haley asked. She was so wrapped up about asking about Nathan. She forgot about Jake.
"Mama you wanted me to tell you about Nathan." Jamie said. He mumbled something Haley wouldn't hear. His dad was a sore subject for months.
"I know but Nathan isn't your daddy." Haley said. She tickled him on her bed.
"Daddy liked Jenny more than me." Jamie said.
"Jamie your dad has a new family, he still loves you but he's trying to have a new family." Haley said. She couldn't explain why Jake wasn't paying attention to Jamie.
It would hurt the poor boy way to much. Jake told Haley after the divorce that Jamie
Wasn't going to be in his life as much. Therefore not a good father like he was.
"If you get a new boyfriend will you forget about me too?" Jamie asked.
"Never you're stuck with me cutie." Haley said. She kissed his cheeks and kissed his blonde hair.
"Thanks mama at least you're honest." Jamie said.
"You always have my word honey." Haley said. She looked at the clock and back at Jamie. "Its time for bed James." Haley said. She always said "James" when she was serious.
"Can I sleep in here mama?" Jamie asked.
"Sure baby come here." Haley said. She gave him a spot on her bed.
"I love you mama." Jamie said. He crawled into Haley's arms.
"Love you too kid." Haley said.
"Mama I need to make a call before I sleep." Jamie said. Haley sighed and turned back on the lights.
"Who do you want to call honey?"

"Daddy your home!" Rose said. She ran into Nathan's arms.
"How was your day?" Nathan asked. He picked her up giving her kisses.
"Lindsey took me to the hospital daddy." Rose said. She showed Nathan her arm that had a Barbie bandage.
"I'm glad you were such a big girl." Nathan said. He hugged her tightly. "Do you want to watch Cinderella in my bed tonight?" he asked.
"I will meet you there with Buddy." Rose said. She ran to the room with there white dog following her.
"How was she Lindsey?" Nathan asked. Lindsey was quiet the whole time. She didn't want to ruin daughter-father moments.
"The doctor said she's in remission and to come back in six months." Lindsey smiled. She gave her brother a hug. Ever since they were young Lucas, Lindsey and Nathan been close. She hated to see Nathan is pain.
"I guess she can start school again." Nathan mumbled to himself.
"How was the basketball team?" Lindsey asked.
"Good, there's this one kid Jamie who I liked." Nathan said. He noticed Lindsey begging for more." He's like five years old and he's the neighbor next door with his mom Haley."
"If you like them so much then get to know them." Lindsey said.
"Isn't it getting late you should go home." Nathan joked.
"Well I have to go Lucas is waiting for me." Lindsey said. She grabbed her stuff. "You have a message but I didn't pick it up for good reason." Lindsey said. She gave him a knowing look.
Nathan sighed as Lindsey left. He loved Lindsey like a sister. He grew up her since the first grade. Lucas was the Scott who had the crush on her like a school boy. Nathan only thought of her as a friend. He grabbed a beer and looked at his phone messages. He wanted to get to bed and to make sure Rose was safe. He knew it would take a minute and pressed the button on the answering machine.
"Hey Nathan its Carrie. I know it's been a few months and you're still really mad. I just couldn't handle Rose getting cancer and treatments. We would be together as a family if she wasn't sick. I know it's hard for you but I still love you both. I never meant to hurt you. It's been a rough road for the both of us. I promise to come home soon. I love you bye."
Nathan laughed as he hit the delete button. Carrie always made a promise then broke it. He was sick of her games.
"Hey Nathan Scott! You gave me your number I hope you don't mind I called. Thank you for teaching me basketball tricks you're a good friend. I'm glad you're my neighbor. I hope we can play basketball this weekend in my backyard."
Nathan smiled as he saved the message Nathan could tell there was something about him and his mom.
He walked back to his room. He didn't see Rose all day. It made him sick when he didn't spend a day with her. She was sick and needed him. He saw that Rose was half-asleep with turned off the movie and put her favorite blanket on her.
"Daddy I'm sleepy." Rose said.
"Daddy's here its okay princess." Nathan said.
I hope you liked the chapter. Carrie won't as evil in the show. She has a less violent part in the story.
