Chapter Six - Haley's POV
Saturday morning 7:30am silence at my house. This doesn't happen often well actually every other Saturday morning this happens. Silence, what to do? I go and turn the kids cartoons on anyway it makes me feel like Jamie and Sophie are actually with me still.
I walk around the house there is so much that I could do today, washing, ironing, cleaning, grocery shopping and I have all day to do it in, but i just don't feel up to it.
I pick up the phone and call Rachel knowing that she is home by herself today too, and see if she is up for a girls day we agree to meet at the mall at 10:00am for a day of pamper. I shower, get dressed and jump in the car and head off to meet Rach.
Nathan's POV
Saturday morning 7:30am cartoons, noise and the smell of breakfast cooking. I love this feeling, like everything is the way it used to be us as a family but it's not every other weekend we are missing someone. I walk into the lounge and see Jamie and Sophie watching the telly and smile I creep up behind Sophie and start to tickle her.
"Stop daddy" she tries to yell but can't as she is laughing so much
"How about some breakfast?" I ask as I stop tickling her
"What are we having Dad?" Jamie asks
"Well I thought that maybe we could have pancakes?" I say "What do you think?" Sophie looks up at me with those big brown eyes that she got from her mother "mmm I don't think so daddy."
I look at her strangely "Why not princess? I thought that they were your favorite?" I stated. Maybe she had changed again it's so hard to keep up when I only see them on weekends.
"They are daddy but mummy makes them best! No one can make them like her." she said like I should have known that. My heart dropped, and I had to work so hard to try and keep the tears from rolling down my face. I put a smile on my face and said "Well how about some eggs then?"
"Sounds good dad" Jamie said without turning his head from the show he was watching. I sighed returning to the kitchen. I didn't know how Haley did it. She truly was amazing.
Haley's POV
"Hey Rach" I say meeting my friend at Starbucks giving her a hug as I sit down.
"Hi Hales, how are you doing today?" she asks
"Truthfully?" I reply "Not great. I'm missing my kids today." I say almost in tears
"Hey sweetie, don't cry. I know that it's hard right now, but you and Nate will work this out and will be a family again." she said rubbing my back
"Rach, Nate and I are over we wont be a family ever again" I say through my tears
"Hales, I've never seen anyone looked at like Nathan looks at you and it's the same way he has looked at you for years ever since high school. I know we weren't great friends on your wedding day but when you walked down that aisle the look on Nate's face was pure love. And since then we have all become great friends and I don't know two people who are more suited."
"I don't know Rach the only time we really see each other is when I drop off or pick up the kids. Or sometimes we see each other at other family things with Luke and Peyt, but it's really hard you know."
"Yeah I know it's hard on us all. We always want to invite you guys to things but then some one always misses out because we don't want you guys to feel uncomfortable. We just love you both so much, we just want this to be fixed." Rachel said "Anyway how about we start today with a facial now we are finished with our coffees" I could tell that she was trying to lighten the mood and apart of me thanked her but apart of me wanted her to keep telling me that everything would work out."
"Sure" I say forcing a smile onto my face "facials then to the hair dresser and then off to get new outfits for tonight. You know Brook will kill us if we turn up something that she has already seen"
Rachel laughed "Yeah that crazy girl, I really miss her not living here. Do you think that she and Chase will ever move back here?" she asked
"I'm not sure. Maybe once they have kids or something but I think for right now New York is where she needs to be for work" I answer
"Okay" she says throwing an arm around my shoulder "Lets do this"
