Chapter 1.5

Christian had been shocked when Hal had walked into the delivery room. It'd been so long since she had seen him she was certain he was done with her. Seeing him she wasn't sure what she felt. There was still love there sure but she was also so hurt. She looked back at him as she pushed their new son Jonah toward the cab wondering if he was going to stay this time.

When they arrived at her house she was shocked when he scooped Jonah out of her arms and headed into the house. Not wanting to ruin the rare moment she headed to her room to change into her Pajamas.

After putting Jonah in the crib Newton crawled over and pulled on Hal's pant leg. He smiled and scooped the little guy up and swung him over his head causing Newton to giggle.

When Christian emerged from her room she couldn't believe what she saw. Not only had Hal stuck around but he was teaching Newton to walk! She wondered what exactly had caused this sudden change in his interest but she was glad for her son.

"I'm sorry I haven't been around." He told her offering her a large bouquet. "Can we start over?" She eyed the flowers cautiously. Where had he been all this time? Why now? Part of her just wanted to tell him to take a hike but then she thought of her boys. They deserved for her to at least try to work things out. So she took the flowers offered and smiled warily.
"Ok." She said softly.

Over the next few days things went well for the pair. They even went to a costume party together though they never made it past the front porch. And while they still spent most of their time at Hal's he was spending time with the boys as well.

Spencer didn't have as much fun at the party. He'd finally found out that Hannah was married and he was less than thrilled. He headed straight home without even confronting her. It was more fun to spend time with his nephew anyway. He'd start over online tomorrow, he was sure there was a nice single girl out there for him.

A few days after Jonah's birth they were finally able to afford a room for the boys. It was small and they couldn't afford any toys yet but it was a start. Newton seemed pleased with his new surroundings. Things were starting to look up!

A/N

Another short chapter! Sorry its a bit choppy. I'm officially caught up to my game though! Yay! Oh in case you think Hal is a changed man.... hes not.

Just after the party  I got a notification he was hitting it off with this sim (cant remember her name) so I clicked and found him flirting with her. She was not happy and started yelling at him then he ran from her like this. LOL Worry not Christian will see him for what he is soon enough...  Thanks for reading!! =)
