Thanks to everyone who reviewed. So this chapter mainly focuses on Haley and Nathan's marriage.

Tree Hill

"James Lucas Scott! If you don't let Mommy put your clothes on within the next two minutes, there are going to be some serious consequences." Haley yelled, while chasing her naked son down the hallway.

Nathan grabbed James before he could make it to the stairs and handed him to Haley. "Haley, if you aren't more careful, james is going to fall down the stairs and break something." He told her.

Haley set James down on the floor and resisted the urge to hit her husband. "Oh god, I'm so sorry." She told him.

Nathan rolled his eyes and took James' pajamas out of Haley's hands. "Haley, don't be so dramatic."

"Seriously Nathan? Seriously!" Haley yelled.

"Haley, don't yell." Nathan said, as he picked up James and walked into his sons room to put him to bed.

Haley walked in after him and snatched James away from him. "Don't tell me not to yell! I have every reason in the world to yell! I have a two year old that won't listen to me, and a husband that treats me like crap."

Nathan dropped James' bottle on the bed and looked at Haley. "I don't treat you like crap." He whispered.

Haley placed James onto his toddler bed and ran her hands through her hair. "Yeah you do Nate. And I'm tired of it."

Nathan looked at her with wounded eyes. "Hales, I-"

"No." Haley cut him off. "Nathan, I can't do this anymore. We can't let James grow up like this."

Nathan was silent.

Haley bent down to kiss James and gently pried the bottle from his fingers. "Nathan, I told you not to give him bottles anymore."

"Sorry." Nathan said, his voice barely above a whisper.

"Yeah. Me too." Haley whispered.

Haley turned slowly and left the room.

Nathan kissed his son on the forehead before turning out the light. "I'm sorry bud." He whispered, to his sleeping son.

Nathan headed downstairs, pausing at his and Haley's room.

"Brooke?" he heard Haley ask. "Can you come to Tree Hill? I really need you."

New York City

Brooke hung up the phone after her conversation with Haley. She felt afwul for her. She had always thought that Haley and Nathan had the picture perfect family, like Barbie and Ken. Clearly, after what Haley had told her, she'd been wrong.

"Brooke. If you don't hurry up, we're going to be late."

Brooke laughed. "Chase Adams, what are you so worried about?"

Chase shrugged and walked over to his girlfriend. "Nothing. I just want to make sure that we make it to the restaurant on time."

Brooke turned around and kissed him. "Just give me two seconds." She whispered into his ear.

Chase groaned and tightened his tie. "Spo what did Haley want?" He asked casually.

"Oh nothing, her marriage is fall ing apart and her kid won't listen to her, so I'm heading to Tree Hill this weekend to play therapist to them." Brooke told him.

"Oh I just love how sensitive you are." Chase whispered into her ear.

Brooke grinned. "Chase, not now. we have dinner reservations."

Chase let go of Brooke's waist and straightened his tie.

"Well, Mr Adams, are you ready to go?" Brooke giggled, as she put her coat on.

"Miss Davis, I certainly am." Chase answered.

Brooke smiled at him and kissed his cheek. "What do you have planned for tonight anyways?"

Chase grinned. "Nothing." He answered, fingering the jewellery box in his coat pocket. 'But if all goes well tonight,' he thought, Brooke won't be Miss Davis for much longer, well, unless she wants to keep her name, which is fine with me but- aah shut up chase!' Chase sighed, shook kis head and then headed down towards the elevators, where Brooke was waiting.
