Chapter 2: Home

Issac finally arrived home with Maxine. He was in the kitchen, making her some food. She came in the kitchen attaching her arms around Isaac's legs. He smiled down at her. "Hey babe." He ruffled her hair, she smiled. Unlike most girls, she liked it when her hair was messed with.

"What you making?" She asked standing on her tip-toes still not being able to see over the counter, she pouted.

"Your favorite." He said going back to cooking.

"Bsgetti?" She asked with wide eyes. She had a new favorite food everyday.

"I didn't make spaghetti. I made your real favorite," Isaac smiled.

"Burgers?" She let go of his legs and jumped up and down.

"Yes. And some mac-and-cheese." She beamed, as her dad handed her two plates. "Can you set the table?"

She nodded, "Yes, daddy."

She ran to the table as Isaac's phone rang. "Hello?"

"Is this Isaac Lahey?"

"This is he."

"Well, this is Scott."

"Uhh, hi Scott?" He said it in a question not knowing a Scott.

"Ohh, the Scott you bumped into when you were in a hurry."

"Ohh. Hi, how'd you get my number?"

"You dropped some stuff out of your bag when we fell I guess."

"Really? I need it! Can you bring it to me tomorrow? I work at Whittemore Corporate level 24. I'll be there at 9:30. If that's to early--"

"I'll be there, and I'll bring the stuff you dropped."

Isaac let out a sigh of relief, "Thanks."

"No problem."

"Well...."

"Well, uhh....Isaac can I ask you something?"

"Sure," Isaac said reaching for two cups out the cupboard.

"Will you uhh--go on a date with me tomorrow night?"

Isaac dropped the cups he was reaching for, he was glad they were just plastic. He also dropped his phone too. A hundred things were swirling around in his mind.

'What if he was like Justin?'
'What if he didn't want kids?'
'What if he didn't like Maxine?'
'What if he didn't like kids in general?'

Then his voice came back on the line, "I mean it's not a big deal if you say 'no.' I can just bring you your notebook and...."

"No, it's just I have to do something tomorrow night."

"Okay, well I'll see you tomorrow then?"

Isaac nodded, and face~plamed himself he was on the phone he couldn't see him, "Yeah, see you tomorrow." He hung up the phone, grabbing the cups off the floor. He stopped the food before it burned. He put the two cups in the sink and reached for two new cups for him and Maxine.

After dinner; he put Maxine in the shower and got her ready for bed. "Goodnight babe." Isaac kissed her forehead and ruffled her slightly damp hair.

"Night night, daddy!" She squealed putting a sloppy kiss on his cheek. He smiled plugging her night light in the wall and leaving her door open. He walked to the living room pulling the bed out from the couch. He layed down and thought about what Scott asked him.

'No'
'What if he's like Justin'
'I'm a single dad'
'Yeah, Maxine Faith Paige Lahey. The only reason why I moved here'
'I can't'
