Of course I could always get on my Leyton kick but I won't for the essence of time and energy. Anyways, I hope that you guys like this chapter and if there's any suggestions you have on how I can make it better just let me know.

ONE WEEK LATER
"So that's the story of how Chris Keller almost married your Aunt Haley" Chris explained as he sat in the sandbox with Hannah. Chris was helping Haley babysit while Nathan went with Brooke and Lucas out of town to pick up a few things for the barbeque they were having tonight.
"Where's my mommy?" Hannah asked looking up at Chris.
"Your mommy loves her some Chris Keller too let me tell ya….she just doesn't want your daddy to know it" Chris explained.
"Where is mommy?" Hannah asked again standing up in the sandbox and stepping on Chris's sand castle before looking at him and laughing.
"She went to get some food" Chris said "Why would you do that?" He asked as he shoveled the sand back into the bucket.
"It was funny" Hannah said covering her mouth with her tiny hands as she laughed.
"You know just because you're two doesn't mean that you get to be mean to Chris Keller" Chris said shoveling the sand back into the bucket.
"I not a bad girl…you bad" Hannah said folding her arms.
"Nope Chris Keller is not" Chris said arguing with Hannah.
"I tell Aunt Hawey" Hannah said climbing out of the sandbox and running to Nathan and Haley's backdoor.
"Come here you little nark" Chris said chasing after her.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Nate, seriously there are not going to be that many of us at the barbeque we don't need all this food" Lucas said as he and Nathan walked up the aisles of the grocery store.
"Luke I am getting what Haley had on the list if you have a problem with it you take it up with her" Nathan argued.
"I'm just saying that you're wasting food the economy isn't the best man" Lucas said.
"Says the guy who buys economy sized boxes of Peanut Butter Captain Crunch at Sam's Club every month" Nathan argued back.
"Don't insult the captain…that's the best crunch you can get" Lucas said.
"Well how do you expect me to not insult you when you eat it at 8 o' clock at night" Nathan said.
"Don't make fun of what I eat Mr. Fruit by the Foot every night before bed" Lucas argued as he out some frozen French fries into the buggy.
"Where's Brooke?" Nathan asked looking around the store.
"I don't know she was just here" Lucas said walking back down the aisle "Stay here" he called over his shoulder to Nathan.
Lucas walked through the store and started to panic when he couldn't find Brooke anywhere. He turned to corner to the baby food and sighed thankfully when he saw her looking at Gerber Graduates snacks. Lucas shook his head walked up to her "I've been looking everywhere for you"
"I'm sorry…do you think Hannah will like these….I mean they're graham crackers so I don't see why she wouldn't" Brooke said looking up at Lucas.
"Brooke did you not hear what I just said? You can't just go off and not tell me where you're going" Lucas said.
"Lucas I am sorry ok? Jeez I just wanted to pick up some snacks for Hannah and Isaiah to eat during Karen and Andy's wedding rehearsal so they don't make a bunch of noise in the church" Brooke said.
"Just next time tell me alright I was worried" Lucas sighed and pulled Brooke into a hug.
"I'm sorry I wanted to get it before I forgot and you and Nathan were bickering and I as much as I enjoy listening to it I decided to grab this and meet you up front" Brooke said burying her face in his neck.
"I just don't want anything to happen to you" Lucas said resting his chin on the top of her head.
"I'm sorry" Brooke whispered.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"He needs to burp" Hannah said as she climbed up on the couch next to Chris who took over feeding Isaiah so that Haley could change Leah's diaper.
"I think he's ok Hannah but thanks for your advice" Chris said as he fed the baby.
"He throw up" Hannah said "If you don't"
Chris shook his head "Hannah you're 2 I'm in my 20's I think I know a little more about babies than you do"
"Isaiah needs to burp" Hannah said again.
"Fine" Chris said and held Isaiah up patting his on the back. As soon as he did the 10 month old spit up just a little bit. "OH GOD GROSS"
"AUNT HAWEY" Hannah called.
Haley walked into the living room following Leah who was showing off her new walking skills. "What's the matter Peanut?" Haley asked.
"Isaiah threw up" Hannah explained.
"He did?" Haley said trying to hold back her laughter as she looked at Chris who held Isaiah out with extended arms.
"You're gross" Chris said to Isaiah before looking up at Haley. "Do you have any towels?"
"Um…No Chris we don't we just put some newspaper down when things like this happen" Haley said. "They're in the bathroom in the cabinet"
Chris stood up and handed Isaiah to Haley. "That's nasty…I'm glad Chris Keller was never a baby"
"Chris it's just a little spit up it's not even on you I don't know why you even need a towel it's on his bib and that's it" Haley said as she shook her head at Chris.
"I can feel it on my Hales" Chris called as he walked down the hallway. Haley rolled her eyes at Chris before laughing and taking off Isaiah's bib "That was a good job buddy"
"I tried to tell him Aunt Hawey" Hannah explained
"I know you did sweetie he learned his lesson though" Haley said "Do you want some fruit?"
"Yeah…can we put it on some ice cream?" Hannah asked.
"Only if you don't tell your mommy and daddy" Haley said as she sat Isaiah down on the floor to play with Leah.
"I won't" Hannah said running to the kitchen. "When Jamie be home?"
"Jamie will be home later on he is at a friend's house right now" Haley explained.
"Oh ok" Hannah said.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
ONE HOUR LATER
"Hi daddy" Hannah called as she ran to the door to meet Lucas.
"Hey monkey" Lucas said picking Hannah up.
"I missed you" Hannah said.
"I missed you too baby girl" Lucas said kissing her on her templed and inhaling the soft scent of her baby shampoo.
"Where mommy?" Hannah asked
"Mommy is bringing some groceries in. She'll be inside in just a few minutes" Lucas explained.
"You want to play with me daddy?" Hannah asked.
"I sure do but in a little while ok cause daddy has to help Uncle Nathan with the grill" Lucas said.
"I help too" Hannah said.
"No monkey you can't help…the grill will be hot and you'll burn yourself" Lucas said.
"Why?" Hannah asked.
"Cause the grill is used to cook food, like we do on the stove at home" Lucas explained as Brooke and Nathan walked into the house.
"Hi mommy" Hannah said wriggling out of Lucas's arms.
"Hi baby girl" Brooke smiled and knelt down as Hannah ran into her arms.
"I missed you" Hannah said.
"I missed you more" Brooke said smiling.
"Nope" Hannah said.
"Yeah" Brooke said.
"Nope…I missed you more" Hannah said.
"We're you a good girl for Aunt Haley today?" Brooke asked.
"Yes…I was a good girl mommy" Hannah said.
"Did you help take care of Isaiah?" Brooke asked.
Hannah nodded "Isaiah throw up on Cwis" Hannah explained.
"He did?" Brooke asked.
"Yeah" Hannah said.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Lucas walked into the living room and saw Isaiah holding onto the couch as he walked. "Dada" Isaiah called letting go of the couch and dropping onto the floor.
"Hey buddy" Lucas said picking Isaiah up "You can almost walk by yourself…I'm so proud of you"
Isaiah pointed to the kitchen when he heard Brooke's voice "Mama"
"Yeah we can go and see Mommy" Lucas said carrying Isaiah into the living room.
"Mama" Isaiah called when he saw Brooke.
"Hey handsome boy" Brooke smiled as she walked over to where Lucas was standing.
"So I don't know about you guys but Chris Keller is ready for some barbeque" Chris said walking into the kitchen where everyone else was.
"Yeah…I for one am glad that Keller here so graciously contributed some money to buy food" Nathan said as he and Haley got things ready for the barbeque.
"Nate, I'm a musician you should be honored to be in my presence. Plus, I shouldn't have to contribute I'm a rock star" Chris said with pride.
"You keep telling yourself that Keller" Nathan said as he carried a few things to the backyard.
"Hey Nate, I've been meaning to tell you I like that shirt…but really it's not Halloween" Chris said.
"Really? Then why are you dressed like a tool?" Nathan shot.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
THAT NIGHT
"Daddy can we jump on the trampoline?" Jamie asked he held Hannah's hand.
"You can, but you might want to ask Uncle Lucas and Aunt Brooke if Hannah can cause she's just a baby" Nathan said as he adjusted Leah on his hip.
"I not a baby Uncle Nafan I is 2 years old" Hannah said pushing her dark hair out of her face before looking up at Nathan.
"My mistake H-Bug…but we still have to ask your mommy and daddy" Nathan said.
"I a big girl" Hannah said ending her statement with a nod.
"Come on Hannah let's go ask your mommy" Jamie said taking Hannah by the hand and walking over to where Brooke was sitting on the patio talking to Peyton, Haley, and Rachel.
"Aunt Brooke can Hannah jump on the trampoline with me?" Jamie asked not letting go of Hannah's hand.
"Um…yeah but ask a grown up to go with you ok?" Brooke said.
"I'll watch her…I won't let Hannah fall I promise" Jamie said.
"I know handsome but Hannah's just little and I'm just scared she'll fall and get hurt…do it for me please" Brooke said.
"Ok, I will" Jamie said walking back to where the guys were standing around talking.
"He's so cute Haley, I can't believe he's growing up so fast" Peyton said as she watched Jamie and Hannah walk over to where Jake and Lucas were talking.
"Yeah…I know I feel like he was just born" Haley said sadly.
"Aw Hales, don't be sad he's so great you and Nathan are raising an amazing son" Brooke said resting her hand on top of Haley's.
"He is pretty great isn't he?" Haley said smiling as she watched Lucas help Hannah up on the trampoline as Jamie held out his hands for her.
"The best" Brooke said looking over to watch Hannah fall back down onto the trampoline as she tried to stand up on wobbly legs.
"I'm going to go fill up Abby's bottle before the two of you start making out" Rachel said adjusting Abby in her arms before getting up from the patio chair and walking into the house.
"Did we have to invite Rachel?" Haley asked.
"Yeah…we did…besides they brought the ice" Peyton said.
"I could've drunk hot pop" Haley said folding her arms over her chest.
Peyton looked at Brooke and Haley "Well if you want I could tell you guys my news"
Haley and Brooke looked at each other and then at Peyton "What news?"
Peyton took a deep breath, stood up from her chair and looked at Brooke and Haley "I'm pregnant"
"Oh my God" Haley and Brooke both squealed and stood up to walk over to Peyton and hugged her.
"Shhhh…..Jake doesn't know yet" Peyton said trying to quiet Brooke and Haley down.
"You haven't told him yet? When did you find out?" Haley asked pulling back from the group hug.
"I found out this morning" Peyton said "I'm going to tell Jake tonight, I just wanted to tell you guys first"
"Aww…P. Sawyer Jaglieski" Brooke said "I'm so excited for you"
"Thanks…I'm just really nervous….I mean Jake and I haven't even talked about another baby...and everything is going so good with the record company…" Peyton said her voice trailing off.
"Hey….don't be like that…this is great news…and Jake is going to be thrilled…you never know this might be the second boy and that way it'll be even" Haley said.
Peyton nodded "I'm just nervous…but I'm really, really excited"
Rachel walked back down to the patio and shook the baby bottle that was in her hand as she cradled Abby against her. "What'd I miss?"
"Nothing" Haley, Brooke, and Peyton said at the same time.
"Oh, come on guys I can keep a secret it's not like its high school" Rachel said.
"It's nothing Rachel really" Peyton said.
"OH MY GOD!!! You're pregnant" Rachel said her mouth turning up into a grin.
"Yeah…Rachel I am but please keep your voice down cause Jake doesn't know" Peyton pleaded.
"Whatever it's not me you got to worry about its blabbermouth Brooke over here" Rachel said pointing to Brooke.
"What?...Rachel I don't tell secrets" Brooke said.
'Yeah you do" Rachel said.
"I do not you big fat liar" Brooke shot back narrowing her eyes. "If anyone blabs secrets it's you"
"What's going on over here?" Jake asked as he carried a sleeping Hayden over to Peyton.
"Nothing" Peyton, Brooke, Haley, and Rachel said at the same time.
