Here is the 4th chapter to the story. FYI I used some stuff from the latest episode of Modern Family "The Cold" with some different dialogue and a few twists on it. So, please don't flip out on me for it. I had to write a quick chapter because of the positivity and school is getting heavy. Sorry if it's not that great but I think it's okay. Review for more guys! Thanks – ModernFamFics
Andy's POV
Its been a few months since the accident and Andy hasn't talked to Haley at all. He hasn't heard her voice, hasn't seen her name pop up on his phone, and he hasn't seen her pretty face after she visited him once in the hospital. While he was in recovery it seemed as Haley just disappeared on his life. But today he knew that she would be in his presence because everyone was going to Jay and Gloria's place to watch Mitch and Cam's wedding video. Knowing Claire, everyone in her family would be there. Andy had to prepare to see her. It truly has felt like forever to him, and probably her too but he wouldn't know that exactly. He sits in his apartment after letting a friend out just a few minutes ago. He sighs deeply, running his right hand through his hair roughly. His eyes were wide and fixated on the wall that sat right in front of him. Andy quickly reacts to a buzz in his pocket. He leans towards his left and takes his phone out of his pocket, seeing Jay on the caller I.D.
"Hello?"
"Hey Andy! What's up pal? How've you been?"
"I've been good Mr. P, real good to be honest with you." Andy says, laughing a bit, knowing he hasn't been all that great.
"Great, son. Now, you think you can show up today and watch ol' Joe for us? The family is coming over and everything to watch my son's wedding video." Jay asks and explains.
Andy nods to himself and smiles alone. "Of course. Gloria already gave me the details. I can make it around one today to give Joe that bath and bum scrubbing today."
"Ah, you're strange, kid. Just watch my son, okay?" Jay laughs, making Andy feel kind of bad for calling him strange.
Andy gulps, nodding to himself. "Yes sir, I can do that. I'll see you later, sir." Andy hangs up the phone and places it on his couch.
He breathes in and out slowly then quickly gets off the couch to get himself ready. He walks to his room and swiftly looks into his mirror. Andy quickly threw on some nicer clothes and some cheap cologne just for a few hours. He grabs his keys, leaves the room, then grabs his phone. Andy turns all the lights down and leaves his apartment.
Jay and Gloria's place still Andy's POV
Andy walks into the Pritchett household about twenty minutes late. He puts his keys on the front table and goes straight up stairs yelling hello to everyone downstairs. He peeps into the little Joe's room and sees the little boy playing.
"Hey Joe!" He steps fully in, smiling at the boy.
Joe stares at him then finally realizes who it is, Andy the Manny. He jumps around his crib in excitement but soon dies down from exhaustion. Andy laughs at the boy's antics and doesn't hesitate to play with him and his toys. Andy loved making Joe giggle and that's exactly what he was doing. Andy loved Joe like a son but he always kept his mouth shut because Jay would probably get pissed for no reason.
Dunphy Household; Haley's POV
Haley sat at the kitchen table with her sister Alex, searching the web.
"Maybe I shouldn't go tonight, because Andy will be there and everything." Haley blurts out as she looks for a downloadable movie.
"Haley, stop. It'll be fine. Just be yourself and you'll especially be fine." Alex says, rolling her eyes at her ignorant sister.
"You don't know anything about guys still, clearly." Haley says with a sassy attitude.
"You clearly don't either." Alex hisses back towards her sister before exiting the room. Haley sat at the table, pondering Alex's words. She closed the laptop and quickly gets up, having to get ready for her grandfather's house.
Back to Pritchett's place; Andy's/Haley's POV
Andy had finally gotten Joe to fall asleep on his watch and it was about 1:45. Seeing that time, it meant that everyone is either at the house or on their way to it. Andy decided to walk out of the room and peak over the railing to see who was already in the house. Andy felt his gaze sweep the room to Mitch and Cam arguing about something, Lily messing with Manny's things, Jay and Gloria in the kitchen, and Phil and Luke just walking in with the wedding video. Andy moves his eyes one last time and they land on Haley talking to Alex. He decides to watch but he can't hear a word they are saying.
"I really wish I hadn't dressed so cute because you know, Andy." Haley says, looking over her outfit.
Alex rolls her eyes and crosses her arms. "God, Haley, just be yourself and he'll get over you. It's as simple as that.
"You're right…" Haley straightens herself out and smiles.
No one's POV
Andy stepped back into the room, hovering over baby Joe's crib. He watches as the little boy snoozes with his sweet little dreams. But, he is peacefully interrupted by a knock at the door. Andy turns to look and sees Haley smiling with her arms crossed.
"Hey." She says softly, walking into the room.
"Hey, stranger." He says, watching as she walks past him and over to the chair.
"How have you been?" Haley asks, knowing they haven't talked in what felt like forever. Andy nods and smiles his dorky smiles. "Oh, so great. I've just been busy with visiting my family back home and stuff."
Haley nods, now feeling the room go really quiet and really awkward.
"Listen…" Andy pipes up. "I feel like we left off on the wrong note, like me showing up to your house, then the accident… But, I was just thinking about the wedding day and how you may have been sending me signals which is pointless to probably bring up right now." Andy shrugs and picks up a blanket, starting to fold it up.
Haley stands up, helping him fold the blanket up. "Don't worry about it. I was sending signals because at the wedding everyone was super gay and not looking at me. So, sorry for giving you the wrong idea. I just wanted some attention, you know?"
Andy nods and laughs light heartily at Haley. "I know what you mean but thank god we didn't take it any further, because we are so wrong for each other. Imagine if we kissed? It would've been a disaster." Andy laughs once more, throwing the blanket onto the table.
Haley raises the pitch in her voice. "A total disaster!"
Andy nods. "I know, you would've been destroyed."
Haley gasps quickly at his statement. "What?! What do you mean by that?!"
Andy sits down and starts to fold some clothes. "Oh, that is pretty confusing, huh?"
Haley nods, somewhat aggravated at him. "Yeah."
Andy looks up at the girl and decides to give her his answer. "Well, I don't know what it is but girls can't get over this guy. I don't wanna say I'm a drug but-"
Haley breaks his sentence quite angrily. "Let's get this straight, guys do not get over me. On last count I have three stalkers. One of them spray painted my face on their car and I had to stay forever while he did it!"
Andy stands up, tucking his hands in his pocket. "About the kissing thing. If you kissed me it would rock my world. You are so pretty and you are so smart."
Haley sways a bit and bites down on her bottom lip. "Okay then."
"But it definitely would have hit you harder." Andy says, breezing by her to an awakening baby.
Haley turns to look at him with a shocked and confused look on her face. Andy looks back towards her making an uncomfortable face. He decides to walk back to her, now close to Haley. Haley feels her breath hitch to how close he has gotten.
"I said something wrong again, didn't I?"
Haley shakes her head and loses the face. "No… The thing is, we're good, right?"
Andy nods and stick his hand out for a handshake. Haley shakes her head and opens her arms.
"Come here you." Andy goes in for the hug but Haley quickly grabs his faces and kisses his lips for three to four seconds. They pull away from each other and emotion just wipes over Haley. Emotions that she has never felt before from a kiss. Andy stares at her and she stares back.
Now what? They both thought. What does this mean for the both of them?
