Sorry guys I broke the antenna to my wireless internet so I have no internet at home for the time being but I will try to update when I am at school. It's just not easy to get a computer when I am there.

Rachel was sitting next to Lucas who was on the phone. "Yeah sure no problem Nate, consider it done. See you later," he said and hung up. He went to put the phone on the receiver behind the counter and heard a familiar voice from behind him.

"Take out order for Jagelski," Jake said.

Lucas turned in surprise, "Jake, man how are you," he asked as he walked up and gave him the man hug.

"I'm good," he answered, "just visiting my parents before I move up north."

"Oh yeah," Lucas said, "your parents order all the time so I didn't think anything of the name until I heard your voice. How long are you home for?"

"A week maybe more," he answered.

"Well hey listen," Luke said as he handed him the food and Jake gave him money, "Nate wants everyone to meet up at Tric tonight, you should come. We could catch up. I'm sure these two ladies would love to catch up too," he said nodding toward an approaching Peyton and Brooke.

Jake turned, "Peyton!"

"Jake, oh my God, how have you been," she asked as she hugged him.

"I've been good but I have to get this food home," he said. "We'll catch up later promise, Luke will fill you in," he said walking toward the door.

"What's he talking about," Peyton asked Lucas.

"Oh Nathan wants everyone to meet up at Tric tonight," he answered.

"I'm gonna head out," Rachel said kind of uncomfortably.

"Don't go on our account," Brooke said, "we were leaving ourselves anyway. See you later Luke," she finished and walked away.

"Yeah see you tonight I guess," Peyton said to Lucas.

"I should still probably head out," Rachel said to Lucas once they were alone.

"Well you're coming tonight right," he asked her.

"It sounds like it's a friend's only type of thing," she answered.

"Well you're my friend so you'll be there. And maybe if they spent time with you they'd see you've changed. They see Tim's changed so it's possible," he said hopefully.

"Yeah but Tim wasn't an asshole he was just strange," she replied.

"So what he still proved people can change. They'll see that about you too because you're coming," he said.

"You sure you don't mind," Nathan asked into the phone.

"Of course not he's been," Deb was interrupted.

"Sorry I have to go Haley's coming back to the car and she doesn't know yet. Bye," he hung up quickly before Deb could get another word in.

"What are you up to," Haley asked suspiciously as she climbed back into the car as Nathan put his cell back into his pocket.

"Uh nothing. Did you get my mountain dew," he asked changing the subject.

"What is it with you and this stuff," she asked handing him the bottle.

"I don't know it gives me a super caffeine rush," he said with a grin.

"Um ok," Haley said giggling. "So who did you call," she asked remembering seeing him put his phone away.

"My mother," he said. "I asked her if she'd watch Keith another night so we could have one more night just the two of us, don't be mad," he added at the end.

She didn't say anything at first because she was a little uncomfortable with leaving Keith yet another night but it was Deb after all and she did have a blast alone with Nathan the night before. "I'm not mad," she finally spoke up, "I just worry about him you know I haven't left him alone for this long with anyone but Luke when he would take him to see you."

He took her hand and reassuringly said, "he'll be ok I promise." She rested her head on his shoulder and fell asleep.

When Haley woke she was still in the car, her head still on Nathan's shoulder and the car was stopped and turned off. They were in front of her house. "How long have we been here," she asked with a sneaking suspicion they had been there a little while.

"Almost forty-five minutes," he answered.

"Nathan you should have woke me," she said playfully slapping his chest.

"I know my butt's numb," he said with a laugh, "but you're just so darn cute when you sleep." He smiled at her, "listen go in and shower and put on something pretty because I'm taking you out tonight," he said. "I'm going to get stuff from my mothers. I'll kiss Keith for you." He kissed her and she got out and went into the house.

Nathan walked into his mother's house. He could see Keith asleep in the playpen in the living room so he knew Deb wasn't far. "Hey mom," he called out trying not to wake his son. He headed toward his son but stopped when he heard Deb coming from the kitchen.

"Nathan hi," she said as Nathan bent down to kiss Keith's forehead. "He um, he's," she was interrupted.

"Warm," Nathan finished and put a hand on his son's forehead, "really warm," he looked questioningly at his mother.

"It's just a little fever. He's had it since yesterday and I've been giving him the children's Tylenol from his diaper bad as directed. I was hoping it would have broken overnight but it didn't. I tried to tell you earlier but you hung up. He's not sick or anything, I mean like vomiting and it's not uncommon for fevers to last a few days. I wouldn't worry unless it doesn't break or it gets worse."

Nathan looked worried, "maybe I should bring him home and cancel tonight."

"No Nathan that's ridiculous it's a little fever. He will be fine and if he gets worse I'll call you."

"Yeah but Haley will freak out and want him home and if I manage to convince her to go out anyway it'll be miserable 'cuz all she'll do is worry," he said, "so would I."

"There is nothing to worry about. So just don't mention it better yet I didn't tell you, you don't know about it. Things are good here," Deb said.

Nathan gave Deb an uneasy look. "So how was the trip," she asked.

"It was great," he answered. "Don't be offended but I'm going to live the last few weeks of summer with my wife and son."

"Oh Nathan that's great," Deb said hugging him.

"And we have an apartment in Durham, she's moving out there when I go back to school," he finished.

"I'm so glad to see you and Haley so happy but what about your ankle? I see no boot."

"Oh yeah, that was the reason for the trip right," he laughed, "that is good too. Physical therapy for a while then another check-up but I should be ready for the season."

"That's great honey," she said beaming for him.
