Lucas and Brooke were laying in bed one morning before the alarm went off.

"I think we should have another baby." Brooke said. Lucas looked at her.

"I was actually thinking about that as well. The twins and Josh are big now. I miss it when they're younger." Lucas said.

"So you want to start trying?" Brooke asked.

"As soon as you are." Lucas said as he got up and went Mason's room.

"Mason, time to get up." Lucas said as he rubbed his back. Mason's hair had turned even more blond during the summer. Once Mason was up he went to Paige's room. They both got dressed and went upstairs. Lucas was on his way up when Josh came running by with no clothes on. Lucas tried to catch him before he went up stairs but couldn't. Lucas ran after him.

"Josh, come here." Lucas said. Josh just kept running and giggling. Andy caught him.

"What are you doing?" Lucas asked as he caught up.

"I'm hungry." Josh said.

"You need to get clothes on first Mr." Lucas said as he picked him up. By the time they came back up breakfast was ready.

"Lucas, are you coming in with me?" Andy asked.

"No. It's my turn to drive the kids." Lucas explained. Mason and Paige went to school all day and Josh went to daycare so he could interact with other kids.

"Don't forget today's the first basketball tryout." Andy said.

"New meat for me to mould." Lucas joked.

"I'll see you later." Andy said as he left.

School

Lucas dropped off the kids and then went to work. The day was spent catching up on paper work. He was just about to go to the gym for the tryouts when his phone rang.

"Lucas Scott." Lucas answered.

"Lucas, my name is Kevin Anderson. Do you know who I am?" The guy asked.

"You're the Oak Lake Academy principal." Lucas said.

"That's right. I'm calling to offer you a job coaching." Kevin said.

"Are you serious? I don't have any training. All I am at Tree Hill High is the assistant coach. I haven't gone to school or anything." Lucas said.

"I know. You're younger than most coaches but I know you're a hell of a player." Kevin said.

"I'm going to have to talk to my wife about this. I want to do what's best for my family." Lucas explained as they hung up.

"There you are. I saw you on the phone. Who was it?" Andy asked as they watched the kids run suicides.

"Kevin Anderson." Lucas said. Andy looked at him.

"The Oak Lake Academy principal?" Andy asked.

"Yeah. He offered me a coaching job." Lucas said.

"Lucas, that's great! Did you take it?" Andy asked.

"Not yet. I want to talk to Brooke first." Lucas said.

At Home

Everyone had finished supper. Lucas and Brooke were downstairs with the kids. Every night after supper they always came down so that Andy and Karen could have time alone.

"I got offered a job coaching today." Lucas said. Brooke looked up from the ironing board.

"Where?" Brooke asked.

"Oak Lake Academy." Lucas said.

"Did you take it?" Brooke asked.

"I haven't taken it yet. I wanted to talk to you first." Lucas explained as Mason yelled at Josh as he ran to the bathroom. A few seconds later they heard the sound of the toilet flushing and then the sound of someone getting hit. Josh started to cry. Lucas and Brooke ran to the bathroom.

"What happened?" Lucas asked.

"Mason hit me." Josh said.

"Mason Lucas! We do not ever hit anyone." Brooke said.

"He flushed Hammy down the toilet!" Mason yelled.

"He wanted to swim." Josh said.

"No he didn't you retard!" Mason yelled.

"That's enough. Mason, go to your room and cool down." Brooke said. Josh started to walk out but Lucas caught him.

"Not so fast Joshua. You were bad." Brooke said as she took him by the hand and led him to his room. Lucas turned to Mason who now had his hand in the toilet.

"Mason, Hammy's not coming back. He's gone." Lucas said. Mason started to cry.

"I hate Josh." Mason said.

"No you don't. You're just angry at him. We can get you a new hamster. But you shouldn't have hit Josh. We don't solve our problems like that. If you have a problem with someone you come to me or mommy. You never hit." Lucas said as Brooke came back in with Josh.

"Mason, Josh has something to tell you." Brooke said.

"I sorry." Josh said.

"I'm sorry too." Mason said as they hugged.

"That's better." Brooke said as she and Lucas walked away.

"Go ahead and take the job." Brooke said.
