Chapter 3

It was about noon at the Scott household, and things were pretty quiet. Maddie had been home for about a week, and she was starting to feel much better. She hadnt gone back to school yet, but she would be next week. She had a doctors note, and Brooke let her stay home with her and Izzy. Logan got her work for her. Maddie was lying in her bed listening to music. Her favorite cd Continum By John Mayer was playing throughout her bedroom. The current track was Dreaming With A Broken Heart. Maddie wasnt really brokenhearted, she just liked that song. She smiled contently, thinking about how her brother and parents had been helping her with her situation.

At the same time downstairs, Brooke was struggling to get her three year old to take her nap. Izzy never had a problem with taken a nap before, but she was being stubborn right now.

"Hey baby doll, its nap time. Then when you wake up, Logan will be home." Brooke told her.

"Nowa! I dont wanna take a nap!" Izzy said talking back to her mother, which she probably learned from Josh who does it all the time.

"Bella, its nap time." Brooke said as she picked the toddler up who objected by trying to get down. Brooke carried her upstairs and placed her in her toddler bed. Brooke put the gate up, so Bella couldnt get out. She went over to the baby gate, she was too small to climb over it. Brooke walked into her bedroom and picked up the phone, and dialed Nathan's phone number.

"Hello?" Nathan answered.

"Nathan." Brooke said as if she was about to cry.

"Baby, whats wrong." Nathan said.

"Isabelle wont listen to me, I'm still worried about Maddie, Josh is getting in trouble agian, I have no idea what I'm making for dinner and.." Brooke stopped.

"Baby, calm down. It's okay, the kids will calm down, and I'll pick up takeout and break it home." Nathan assured her.

"I love you." Brooke told him.

"I love you too baby." Nathan said. "I have a surpise for you." Nathan told her.

"Really?!? you know I love your suprises." Brooke said.

"Yep. You'll find out after dinner." Nathan told her.

Brooke laid down, then she sighed when the doorbell rang. She made her way downstairs, and opened the door. She was so happy to see her best friend on the other side of the door.

"P Keller!!!" Brooke said as she hugged her and let her in. "Im so glad you're hear. What are you doing here?" Brooke asked.

"Well, Chris had to come to town for business, and I thought i would drop by, say hi, see how Ms. Madaline is." Peyton said.

Peyton had changed a lot in the past few years her hair was darker, and shorter, and she was less depressing.

Brooke smiled. "Im glad you're here P. Sawyer. Is Chris coming by? Brooke asked.

"He should be by later."Peyton smiled. She loved talking about her husband, though it did supirse even her that she was married and completely in love with Chris Keller.

"Come on B. Scott." Peyton said as she led her friend into the kitchen.

At Tree Hill High the bell for lunch had just rang. Logan left his History class and went to his locker. Megan smiled when she saw him, and she walked over to his locker.

"Hey you." Megan said as she kissed him on the check. After talking to Nathan at the hospital Logan decided that he was going to ask Megan out. So once visiting hours for non family members were over, he took her home, and he asked her out. She accepted and they went out to the movies, and they made it offical. She did tell Logan that she wanted to take things slow, and he was fine with that.

"Hey, hows your day so far?" Logan asked her as he closed his locker and tooke her books out of her hand so he could carry them for her. A few lockers over the queen bitch of the school Nina Wilson was watching Logan and Megan. Nina had liked Logan for a while now, and while he knew it, he didnt seem to care, and that pissed her off. She had to think of ways to break them up.

Megan looked over at her boyfriend and smiled. "Pretty good so far, how's your sister?" Megan said as she stopped infront of her class.

"Shes good." Logan handed Megan her books and gave her a small kiss. "I'll meet you at your car after school." Megan told Logan.

"Sounds good." Logan said with a smile then he headed to the cafeteria.

Brooke and Peyton were in the kitchen talking and laughing, when the phone rang. Brooke went over and answered.

"Scott residence. Brooke speaking."

"Hello, Mrs. Scott, this is Mrs. Barker, at Tree Hill Elementry." She said.

Brooke sighed. "What did Josh do this time?" Brooke asked.

"Well, Josh talked back to his teacher, he asked her if she was friends with his grandmother, or if she just stole his grandmothers crazy pills." The principle said.

"I'm so sorry he said that, Me and my husband will talk to him about it." Brooke said.

"Mrs. Scott, this isnt the first time, and this certainly isnt the last, I mean we should have your phone number on speed dial." She joked but Brooke wasnt amused.

"I decided to suspend your sun from school, for 2 days. I'll need you to come pick him up." She said.
"Alright, Either I or my husband will be there to pick him up." Brooke said and she hung up.

Peyton looked at her.

"Josh?" Peyton asked. Peyton knew all about Josh and his anger problems. Brooke knew practically everything about all the Scott kids.

Brooke nodded. "He's suspended. He told asked his teacher if she stole Deb's pills, cause shes crazy."

Peyton laughed, but Brooke looked at her. "Sorry, but that is funny. Thats something you would expect from Isabelle." Peyton laughed.

"I'm going over to pick him up. I'll call Nate on the way. Can you watch Izzy and Maddie. Last time I checked they were both asleep in their rooms. Katie should be home in about an hour and a half. Logan doesnt have practice today, but I think hes going out with his girlfriend, and Luke will be over to pick Natalie up in a few hours. She should be home by 3." Brooke told Peyton.

"Anything for my Brookey-poo." Peyton said. "Thanks Peyt."

Brooke smiled grabbed her keys and went out the door.

A few hours later.

Haley was opening the door to her house, when heard Chase come come out from the bedroom. He looked like he had just woken up. Haley put her purse on the coffee table and slipped her shoes off, and walked over to the couch and sat down. Chase sat down next to her.

"Did you get Addie to Lukes okay?" Chase asked. Haley moved so her feet were over top of Chase's lap. Chase began rubbing her swollen feet softly.

"Yeah, she'll be with him all weekend." Haley smiled as Chase leaned down to kiss her. Then he kissed her growing belly. Haley didnt even look 5 months pregnant, she had a tiny bump. Her doctors were worried about this, so she had to go to doctors appointments every week. Haley didnt mind, she would do anything for her baby boy.

"Are you feeling okay today?" Chase asked his wife. "Yeah, I'm just a little tired." Haley yawned.

Chase stood up, and picked his wife's tiny frame up. He carried her to their bedroom and laid her down. Then he laid down next to her. She smiled and closed her eyes.

Nathan had just pulled into the driveway. He had picked up Chinese food, then he had to go by Mcdonalds, and get a happymeal for Izzy, because she refused to eat the Chinese food. Nathan grabbed the food and got out of his nice expensive car. He saw a rental car, and wasnt sure who it was. Nate walked into the house and the chaos that was inside.

Isabelle was sitting on the floor by the stairs playing with the dog. She got up when Nathan came in.

"Daddy!!" She said as she latched on to his leg.

"Hi Princess." He said as he walked into the kitchen. He put the food on the table and picked Isabelle up. He carried her upstairs to his bedroom and placed her on the bed. Then he changed into a t-shirt and a pair of basketball shorts.

He picked Izzy up, and he saw the guest room light shining through the hallway, so he walked to it. Brooke was fixing up the room.
She looked up when she saw Nate. She walked over and kissed him. "Peyton and Chris are here." Brooke said. "Thats cool. Where are they?" Peyton is up talking to Maddie, and Chris is teaching Katie how to play the guitar." Brooke said as she made the bed then turned the light off and the three of them left the room.

"Where are the boys?" Nathan asked.
"Logan is out with Megan, he said he was bringing her over for dinner, and Josh is in his room, grounded." Brooke said.

Brooke had called Nathan earlier, and made Josh tell him what happened at school. Nathan was kind of mad, but mostly at his mother for having that negative influence on his kids.

"Well, I brought dinner. I'll help you round everyone up." Nathan said. Brooke and Nathan each went to seperate parts of the house to round up everyone.

Maddie and Peyton were up in Maddie's room, talking. They had talked about all the serious stuff, like all the boy drama Maddie had been having. Now they were talking about music. Maddie loved it when Peyton flew out to visit. She also liked it when her mom and dad let her fly out to see Peyton and Chris.

Nathan walked up the stairs and went in Maddie's room.
"Hey peyton." Nathan said.

"Sup Nate." Peyton said. Nathan laughed. "Time for dinner. I got your favorite Mad." Nathan said.

"Sweet. Sweet and Sour Chicken." Maddie said as she hopped off her bed and went downstairs. Peyton and Nathan both laughed. Peyton walked over to Nate, and they went downstairs. "I think shes going to be just fine." Peyton smiled. "With those awesomely fantasitic parents of hers, why wouldnt she? Peyton said. Nate just laughed and they went to the kitchen.

Brooke went into Josh's room. Josh was lying on his bed. "Buddy, its dinner time." Brooke said. Josh stood up. "Im sorry mom." He said.

Brooke smiled lightly. "I know sweetie, we'll talk about it later.

The two of them went downstairs. By the time they got down there, everyone was already eating. Izzy was on her favorite place, the floor, eating her happy meal. Everyone else was either crowded around the table or at the counter eating. They all heard a door slam, and a few seconds later Logan and Megan walked in. Brooke smiled. She really liked Megan, and she thought she was good for Logan. She called her, her future daughter in law.

"Hi Megan." Brooke smiled as she handed them both plates.

"Hi Mrs. Scott, how are you this evening?" She said with a smile.

"I'm good, I told you, call me Brooke." Brooke laughed.

"Okay, I will." Megan and Logan went over to get food, Logan noticed Peyton and Chris. "Hey Peyt, Chris. This is my girlfriend Megan." Logan said. Brooke came up and walked past them. "My future daughter-in-law" Brooke said. Everyone laughed.

"Mom." Logan said.

"What, I'm just saying." Brooke said.

Maddie looked at the clock. "Do you guys mind if I invited Kyle over?" Maddie said. Kyle had been so good to Maddie since what had happened, he was there at the hospital with her when Brooke, Nate, and Logan couldnt. He had come over and laid in her bed with her, since it was hard for her to get some sleep. She had been having Blain nightmares in the middle of the night, and him being their helped her.

"Sure baby." Brooke said. "We have plenty of food." Maddie smiled. "Thanks mommy." Maddie said as she grabbed the phone and walked into the living room to make her call.

She waited for an answer. Kyle had caller ID so he knew it was Maddie.

"Hey Maddie, everything okay?" He asked her.

"Yep. I was wondering if you wanted to come over and chill for a bit, we have lots of food." Maddie said.

"Sure, I'll come over for a bit." Kyle said.

"Okay, see you soon." Maddie said as she hung up. She walked back into the kitchen. "Hes on his way." She sat back down and smiled. Logan and Megan looked at her, then at each other. They both knew what each other was thinking.

Kyle came over about 20 minutes later. Now it was starting to get late, and everyone was settling down. Josh was in his room reading a book. Katie was writing a song, Logan and Megan were in the family room watching tv, Chris and Peyton were in the guest room, Brooke and Nathan were in Isabelle's room tucking her in, and Maddie and Kyle were up in her room. Brooke and Nathan allowed Kyle in the room, because they knew for a fact Maddie wasnt doing anything, she was still tramitized about the Blain events, and they trusted Kyle. The only rule was door stayed open. Maddie came out of the bathroom, in a tanktop and a pair of sweatpants. She smiled and sat in bed next to Kyle.

"Thank you for being such a good friend Kyle." Maddie said.

"Anything for you." Kyle said as he turned the light off and held her till she fell asleep, then he himself fell asleep.
