Chapter 2

Haley was in the kitchen making spaghetti and meatballs. As she prepared the food, Nathan came downstairs and walked over to her.

"What do you think you're doing?" Nathan asked.

"Making dinner," Haley replied.

"I thought we agreed I was making dinner," Nathan said.

"Well I changed my mind," Haley said. "I'm making spaghetti and meatballs."

"I'm tired of spaghetti and meatballs," Nathan said. "I was going to make chicken."

"Well okay you little ungrateful!" Haley shouted. "Make chicken! That'll just leave more spaghetti and meatballs for me!"

"What is with these mood swings?" Nathan asked. "And you have this obsession with food. I'm starting to think that you're…."

"I'm not pregnant!" Haley shouted.

"You've gained weight this past month," Nathan said.

"Are you saying I'm fat?!" Haley screamed. "You can just sleep on the couch tonight!"

"Hales," Nathan said.

"Go!" Haley screamed.

Nathan left the house and Haley grabbed a knife. She began chopping the meat angrily. Brooke entered through the kitchen door.

"Hey Haley," Brooke said. "You teaching that meat not to mess with you?"

"Hi Brooke," Haley said. "Nathan called me fat."

"Well you have gained some weight," Brooke said.

"Whatever," Haley said. "So what brings you here other than telling me I'm fat?"

"I was in the park taking a healthy jog to keep up my slim figure," Brooke said, "and I saw Jamie and Chuck. I hollered out to them but they didn't see or hear me. Anyway, I heard Jamie say the silliest thing."

"And what's that?" Haley asked.

"He thinks you're going to send him away to live with Lucas and Peyton," Brooke laughed. "I mean come on! What goes through that boy's mind?"

"Actually we're considering it," Haley said.

"Say what?" Brooke asked.

"Well Lucas is his godfather and his uncle," Haley said. "Plus he can get Jamie to mind. He and Jamie have always been close."

"But I'm his godmother!" Brooke shouted. "Don't you think I could get him to mind? How could you make a hypothetical decision like this without asking me my opinion?"

"I'm sorry Brooke," Haley said.

"You know I just might take legal action!" Brooke shouted. "I will sue for hypothetical custody!"

"You don't have a case," Haley said.

"Believe me!" Brooke said. "I will sue you Haley! I will sue you!"

Brooke stormed out of the house and Haley shook her head.

"Great," Haley said. "Brooke's gone crazy again."

Nathan came back into the house with a grocery bag. Haley looked at him with an angry look on her face.

"Okay," Nathan said calmly. "Put the knife down. I went and got a pregnancy test for you. Just take the test and I'll stop asking if you're pregnant."

"I will stab you!" Haley shouted.

Nathan quickly threw the test away.

"Okay," Nathan said. "It's gone. I'm sorry."

Haley just simply shook her head.
