Chapter 2 Lets Pretend
Matt came back to the apartment and saw that it was empty. He throw down his beer and went to his car. There was only one idea of where I went in his mind and it was, Nathan.
Me and Nathan walked into his house. I was caring Paul and Pete. Nathan had Jamie and Max. I herd the taping of running feet. Then I saw three little kids.
"This is Kate, who is four, Jack is three, and Mark, who is two." Nathan told me. I looked over the kids. Kate had blond hair just like her grandma Deb and her dad's blue eyes. Jack had brown hair and brown eyes. Mark looked just like Nathan. Raven black hair, and blue eyes.
"With the kids being the same age are at least close, I guess we wont have to worry about fighting." I said with a smile. Nathan let go of Jamie and Max.
I looked around his house admiring the house full of pictures of him and Brooke and the kids. At least it looked like Brooke cared about them. That is until she abounded them or that's what Nathan said. All seven of the kids went to play which gave me and Nathan plenty of time to ketch up on each others life.
"So what's going on in the world of Haley James?" Nathan asked me as I sit in one of his arm chairs. Nathan sat down in the chair across from the one I was in.
"Nothing. Do you know if they still need a teacher at the high school?" I asked him thinking that I was going to need another job.
"I think so. You a teacher now?"
"Yeah."
Jamie came running into the room yelling for me. Both me and Nathan stood up.
"Momma I just saw Matt's car out side. It stopped then went by."
"Ok Jamie are you sure it was Matt's car?"
"Yeah. I think so." He said giving me a confused look. I turned to Nathan.
"He must of known that I would return to you." I said thinking that Matt knew that Nathan Scott was Jamie's father.
"There is no way that it could have been his car. It was probably some one looking at the new kids in the yard. People didn't think I could move on after you and now people think I wont get over Brooke." Nathan reassured me. I relaxed a little. Jamie went back out side to join the other six kids.
Matt drove by Nathan's house again eyeing the kids in the yard being careful so Haley would not see. He was going to get them back but he had to plan this out. It had to be a good plan also. First thing to do is trade his car in for one they would not recognize. Then by a house not to close by, but close enough to keep a watchful eye on them.
I could still feel the love between us. I knew that Nathan could feel it too. I just hoped that this time love would not get me in trouble. I couldn't believe that I was letting Nathan the sweet talker lead me up to his bedroom as the kids played now inside. I had to admit that I wouldn't mind sleeping with Nathan again.
Nathan and I were lying in bed the next morning after that wonderful but yet not wonderful night. Nathan was watching me sleep as he had often done before I ran away. Jamie came running in the bedroom and hopped on the bed.
"Momma wake up. You got to take me to basketball." Jamie chirped as Nathan tried to calm him down.
"Nathan you cursed him you take care of him." I mumbled trying to stay asleep, but it wasn't working that well.
Walking through the new kitchen I couldn't help to think about how I spent last night with Nathan. It was all just to soon for me. Were we not going to even act like the past happened. Nathan came into the kitchen and walked over to me. He tried to give me a kiss but I backed away.
Matt was watching once again from his car, but this time it was a new one. He gave a little smirk at seeing me back up away from Nathan as he tried to kiss me. He could see the twins sit in their highchairs and remembered me yelling at him for missing their birth to go and get drunk. He gave another smirk at the idea of how to get us back that popped into his head. He drove off leaving me right where he new I would stay.
"Nathan don't you think that we are moving to fast."
"Haley we have kissed before and if you ask me this is a step back from last night."
"Nathan are we really going to pretend that nothing has happened in these last few years? That we never parted ways. That we were never with other people and that we were always by each others side. You might be able to do that but I can't."
A loud crash came from Jamie's and Max's room. I could hear the soft cry of both of them.
"Momma help!!!" Jamie yelled sobbing.
