In the Baker House:
"Jude there is no way we should be doing this here, someone might find out." Lydia whisper hissed as the pair of slightly drunk teenagers stumbled into his bedroom, the one next door to his brother.
"No ones home." He raised his eyebrows and she sighed, pushing her hands through his messy brown hair, he smiled at her, as she made the drunk decision to unbutton his shirt, and he fumbled with her dress zipper, the pair fell into his bed, their drunk lust controlling their decision making skills. They wrestled each other's clothing off, and did what the rumor mill had been speculating about for months.
Davis Baker walked into the hallway of his home, his parents were away on their new movie, and his brother was at a loud party a few doors down, probably sucking face with some girl in the bathroom, but he heard rustling from inside his twins room, he didn't want to invade, so he shook his head and ignored it, walking down the hall to his room, and checking his phone to see if Anna had texted him, she hadn't, and with that he shut his phone off and tried to get some sleep.
He woke up in the morning, early per usual, and went to check to see if his brother wanted a bagel from Karen's cafe. He opened the door slightly, the first thing he noticed was the new red dress that. Lydia Scott had been wearing at school the day before discarded on the floor, the next thing he saw was his brothers plaid boxers thrown over the lamp shade, and two figures still wrapped in Jude's navy blue sheets. Davis stared at the scene in front of him for a few seconds, disgust hitting him, before he shut the door and decided to go get breakfast by himself. He came back an hour later, a coffee in his hands and his sweatshirt zipped up to lock out the chilly September air, Anna still hadn't texted him, and he was starting to worry. He had other problems to deal with though, he sat himself down with his Pre-Calc textbook and his calculator, and he started on his homework, when he heard Lydia's small feet patter against his parents hardwood floors.
"Morning Davis. I got drunk last night, Jude let me crash here." She stumbled over her lie, and Davis nodded,
"I know." He said and she hit her forehead with her hand,
"Don't tell anyone okay?" She begged and he smiled,
"Don't worry your secret is safe with me. " he assured her,
"Thanks Davis, you're the best." She smiled and gave him a hug,
"I'm gone five minutes and you're already hitting on my brother." Jude joked, as he walked into the kitchen, obviously unashamed from the night before, his hair still rustled in that 'after sex' mess, and his sculpted stomach bare, because he ore nothing but his boxers, he handed Lydia her dress and she took it quickly, sending him a look and he laughed, "no one will ask questions if you show up in my shirt, your parents won't notice. " he winked and kissed her on the forehead, she deep sighed and stood up.
"I'm gonna leave now." She walked towards the door, "thanks for last night." She winked back at him, closing the door behind her as he stood there with his jaw slack and his eyes following her.
"I cannot believe you slept with Lydia." Davis hissed when she was gone,
"Dude chill, we've been doing that for months." He poured himself a glass of water, and looked over at his brother, who was staring at him with a gaping mouth, "What? You surprised? Have I brought a slut home in awhile. Noooo." He made the statement as if the conclusion should've been drawn from the lack of females milling in and out of the Baker household.
Duke University, outside of the Science Lab:
Jamie chased down after the brunette in his lab class, she was hurriedly walking towards the quad, and he wanted to catch her and ask her to dinner, considering he'd been admiring her for the better half of a month. He made it next to her, and smiled his dazzling smile, she raised her eyebrows at him, waiting what he was going to say,
"I'm Jamie Scott." He stuck his hand out, that line normally worked, everyone knew him.
"I know who you are." She said matter o'factly.
"You a basketball fan?" He asked, trying to get her attention,
"You don't remember do you?" She asked and he cocked his head to the side, trying to understand,
"After the NCAA Championship Game like two years ago? The rave on campus?" She recognized his blank stare, "we were both pretty far gone..." She muttered and he shrugged,
"Sorry." He offered, and she huffed,
"Hey Julia!" A tall blonde walked towards the pair, a small child, probably around 1, clinging to her side, the blonde shot Julia a look and cocked her head towards Jamie, before regaining composure, the blonde handed the little boy over to Julia, and Julia smiled at Jamie,
"I have to go put Tyler down for a nap." She smiled, sickly sweetly at him, and walked away, but before she left, Jamie saw Tyler's eyes and recognized the deep blue tone, and sudden sinking feeling appeared in his stomach, it only worsened when the blonde who had broth Tyler over to Julia gave him a death glare and spat "ass hole" as she passed him. Jamie didn't waste any time, he followed Julia and her son towards the apartments off of campus, he was watching, feeling rather creepy, from his car, and he noticed her eyes had gotten red and she was crying, he wanted to ask too many questions but he drove away, trying to decide what to do.
Two days later, he walked into the lab, putting his stuff down next to her, and turning to her,
"Hey I'm sorry about whatever I did after that game." He whispered and she looked at him, he noticed how dark brown her eyes were, and the knot that had been building in his stomach for the past few days grew.
"Don't be." She said briefly and tried to turn back to her work, silence settled over the pair before she turned to him, suddenly her eyes wider and more vulnerable, "he's a year and 3 months" She gave him the bit of information and he smiled,
"He's a cute kid." Jamie didn't know what to say, and felt embarrassed as soon as that came out . She laughed,
"It's okay, guys normally aren't comfortable with it, don't worry about how stupid you just sounded." He chuckled at her answer and she looked over at him,
"Do you want to get coffee later tonight?" He asked.
In Lydia's Household:
"Hey mom!" Lydia tried to cover her hangover as she greeted her mom and her two siblings, Daniel and her dad were playing NBA Live and Claire was banging on the kiddie piano her dad had bought her for Christmas. Her mom ignored her though, and stomped straight towards Nathan,
"Nathan Scott. Our room. Now." She demanded, and Lydia backed away, glad her hangover had gone unrecognized, Nathan shrugged his shoulders at Daniel and followed Haley towards their bedroom. Lydia followed close behind, interested to know what had happened, she stood by the door, her ear pressed flatly against the wood, she heard the opening of the desk drawer.
"Is this what I think it is!?" She heard her dad say, his voice shaking,
"I swear to god Nathan." Her mom's voice sharp and tired,
"Hales, this isn't completely my fault here." He answered and Haley sighed,
"I'm 39! I can't be the old lady who just keeps having babies!" Her moms tones sounding stressed, Lydia's jaw went into an O at this, her mom was pregnant again? She leaned closer for more information,
"Hey you're not old." Nathan offered and Haley whimpered, "I know you're secretly happy about this." He joshed and she heard her mom laugh softly,
"Last one okay? No more." And she heard her dad's deep chuckle,
"That's what you said after Claire."
