From outside if you saw Karen's cafe that night everything would seem normal the people all looked like they were having a great time enjoying the Christmas eve meal that was going on, however if you happened to be a couple of those people then you would realise how they were really feeling. A few of the tables in the café had been put together to allow them all to sit together. There were some fair lights flashing in the window a couple of the bulbs had blown but people were to busy to notice that. On the table there were plates of food now pretty much empty since there were so many of them there. Nathan, Haley and there two children, Brook, Lucas, Karen and her son. Every one that mattered to them most was there enjoying the very festive holiday together.
Harry yawned in Haley's arms, he had, had his bottle now and was ready to go to sleep for the night now, it was already 8 in the evening. Millie was sat at the table still eating everyone else had finished a half hour ago but she had been asleep when they first started eating and she talked so much and ate so slow. She had forced her mother and Uncle Lucas to stay sat at the table with her, they were sat there talking and passing Harry between them.
Karen's son Jason was sat at a table near the window now he had brought a few toys with him and was happily sat there playing with them waiting for Millie to finish eating so they could play together, he was watching a couple of people walk by as well. His mom Karen was in the kitchen bit smiling at everyone having a good time she loved to have all her family and friends around her especially at Christmas it was when she missed Keith the most. She poured some coffee into two cups and walked over to Haley and Lucas and set one down for Haley.
"thanks Karen and the meal was delicious" Haley said and took a sip of coffee passing Harry to Lucas for a while.
"Your welcome Haley and if you liked the meal today you should love tomorrows one" Karen grinned sipping her coffee watching her son playing happily she worried a little about him sometimes without his dad around but he seemed to cope ok.
While the rest of the had been sat waiting for Millie to finish her dinner and while they had been having a drink of coffee Brooke has said she was going to go out back and try and get a hold of her parents to say happy Christmas and Nathan had then said he was going to try and get a hold of his mom to make sure she was ok. No one had thought anything of it and not suspected anything with the fact that they had been gone so long.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About 20 minutes earlier
"I am just going to try and get a hold of my parents to wish them a merry Christmas I feel as though I should bother because they wont" she smiled and slipped of her seat and headed out the back of the café opening her phone and then sent a text to Nathan telling him to come out the back.
Nathan who was still sat the table felt his phone go of in his pocket and opened it, he saw Haley looking at him inquisitively, "its just my mom trying to get hold of me, I will go out back and see if I can get hold of her wont be long" he smiled and got up from his seat and walked out back to where Brooke was closing the door so not to let the cold into the café, "very sneaky Brooke"
"Hey you know me… yer right like I would ever want to try and get hold of my parents after what they have been like with me, I just had to spend some time with you… so ya better get ringing your mother" she smirked a little bit slipping her phone into her back pocket.
Nathan grinned an put his phone into his pocket "yer I mean like my mom would ever try and get hold of me I am always the one that has to ring her"
"Its getting difficult having to be normal around them especially when I feel like this about you and its even more difficult tonight because all of us are together, don't get me wrong I wouldn't have it any other way because I love you Nate but I do feel a little bit guilty about it because were acting normal around them" she was babbling on, she still couldn't believe what was going on she just knew that she loved Nathan and wanted to be with him.
"Yer Brooke I know but we cant really tell them right now and especially not tomorrow its Christmas day and I have my two kids to think about as well, we will tell them in the New Year I promise Brooke but I have to think about more than just us because of the kids remember, although I don't Haley would ever stop me from seeing them and I want to be with you because I love you" he smiled and wrapped his arms around her.
"Alright then Nathan in the New year and I know you have to think about your kids I really get that trust me and kids need there parents as well, we will have to be careful about how we tell them we cant just be like Haley Luke me and Nate have been sleeping together for the past 3 months I don't see that working to well and me and you are sometimes not the best with words are we god its so con…"
Nathan started to kiss her while she was half way through her sentence she was worrying far to much about what was going on and it would only make it harder for her to act normal he knew that because he kept thinking about it to much, he pulled back and then his watch caught his eye "god Brooke we have been out here twenty minutes we better get back in before they think something's wrong alright?"
"Yer come on then lets go back to reality" she took a deep breath and walked back into the café.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey you guys is everything ok you seemed to be gone a while?" Haley asked setting her coffee down taking a fussing Harry back from Lucas
"Yer its fine Brooke was just trying to get a hold of her parents and never managed and then I tried my moms phone but kept getting cut of, sorry we were so long" Nate replied sitting down on his seat putting one arm round Haley , using his other arm to pull Millie onto his knee as she yawned loudly.
Brooke went and sat down in her seat next to Lucas and watched Nathan with his family, it made her feel a little guilty because he would lose being able to be with his kids all the time but he said it was what he wanted and she knew that he loved her and she loved him as well.
Jason yawned and got of his seat and went over to his mom yawning "Mommy I am tired" he said and then went over to Lucas and climbed onto his knee "Luke I am tired" he said yawning again
Haley stood up with Harry "I think we should get going because its late for the kids and they all need there sleep and we need to get home so Santa can bring the presents don't we" she grinned at Millie and set Harry into his seat putting a blanket on him
Lucas stood up and Jason was already asleep "Mom me and Brooke are staying at yours tonight is that gonna be alright still?" he said he wanted to be with his mom in the morning she would need him
"yer of course it is Luke and then you can carry him saves my arms for a change" she grinned and picked up the other coffee cups and got ready to leave
Brooke smiled "I am tired aswell need a good nights sleep before tomorrow" she zipped up her coat tightly and slipped her hands into her gloves waiting to go
Nathan stood up Millie had her head on his shoulder and was drifting in and out of sleep "We will see you in the morning I hope Santa brings lots of presents" he smirked and looked at Haley "you ready to go babe?" he asked and used his spare hand to pick up the heavy car seat
"Yer I am lets go cya in the morning guys" she smiled and they left the café to go home
Brooke listened to Nate call Haley 'babe' she knew it meant nothing really but she wanted him to be able to call her that in front of other people not have to save it for when they were alone, she then realised Lucas had been talking "Yer sorry lets go" she left the café with Lucas, Jason and Karen
