Chapter 3: I Feel A Change Comin' On

Julian sat on the sofa with his son Jude in his arms as he was reading some papers. Davis was fast asleep in his swing. Julian sat their looking at all the applications and the small pictures attached to it. "Hmm" Julian stared at one picture of a woman with blonde hair "Not bad" Julian mumbled to himself.

He was anxious to start finding new work but he and Brooke couldn't do that unless they hired a nanny to watch the boys while they were working. Julian still hadn't talked to Brooke about it yet, hell he has not even told her that he was looking for them yet. He knew his wife wouldn't be mad or anything that he was doing this. Julian went back to reading the papers but was soon interrupted when Jude started crying. He was still learning from their cries but he knew that it was like a change me cry. Julian threw the papers down on the coffee table and got up off the sofa holding his son and took him to his room and put him on the changing table. He started taking off his son's diaper as a stench started to fill the room "WHOA" Julian put the diaper back over his son. "How can such a little person cause that much of a mess" Julian stared at the mess his son made. It looked like Jude had exploded all in his diaper and he had it going up his back a bit. Julian pulled off his son's diaper and tossed it in the waste bin. Julian quickly pulled the wipes out and started cleaning his son up "Where's your mother when we need her" Julian joked. He could feel his cell phone starting to vibrate in his pocket. He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and answered it without looking at the ID. "Hello" he greeted as he turned on the speaker phone and set his phone down on the changing table next to his son.

"Hey it's me" Brooke said.

He got a new diaper "Hey baby, I was just thinking about you" Julian started to clean his son up his son was all cleaned up.

"Oh really" Brooke sounded suductive "What were you thinking about exactly"?

"I was wishing you were here to change Jude's exploded diaper" Julian chuckled.

"Oh he exploded" Brooke asked trying to hold her giggling back "Oh that boy has made his mama very proud" Brooke couldn't help it and started laughing.

"Ha ha ha" Julian sighed. "How can a little person make such a big mess. I just don't get it".

Brooke laughed "Now you know how I feel" she said. She stopped laughing "I'm sorry sweetie, I know it's a pain sometimes to clean all that up but that's the joy of raising babies and to tell you the truth I don't regret having to do any of this at all" Brooke said.

Julian smiled "So how's the cafe going" Julian finished cleaning up Jude.

"Good. Things have slowed down a bit now" Brooke paused and took a deep breath "I met someone today and you know how I get these weird vibes from people sometimes" Brooke questioned.

"Uh huh" Julian responded.

Brooke sighed "This guy Derek and I were chatting. He just moved to Tree Hill not long ago. He a mysterious person, Julian. I have a weird feeling about this guy" Brooke chuckled at her next thought "And than I thought I saw Rachel Gatina walking by the Cafe today".

"I highly doubt Rachel Gatina would show up in Tree Hill again" Julian responded.

Brooke laughed at herself "Yeah, I know what you mean. I think i'm just tired and my emotions are just in over drive". She cleared her throat "So how are my boys" Brooke asked.

"Davis is sleeping in his swing and I'm chan..." Julian stopped talking when he felt warm liquid hitting him. "Hey hey hey" Julian groaned when he notice Jude was urinating.

"What the hell is going on" Brooke asked, her voice full of concern.

Julian put the clean diaper over Jude as he continued to pee "Jude peed on me" he groaned.

Brooke laughed "Damn I always miss the good stuff" she sighed and continued to laugh "Good job baby boy. You made mama proud" she teased.

"Always me" Julian said. He put a new diaper on Jude after he wiped himself up.

Brooke's laughing started to die down "Don't feel so bad hun. Davis sprayed me the other day" Brooke confirmed.

Julian let out a little laugh as he put some clean clothes on his son "The Joys Of Parenthood" he chuckled.

"Yep" She agreed. "Don't forget to take a shower. And put those cute little matching outfits on the boys that I designed before you go to Lydia's party" Brooke sounded excited. She designed two cute little outfits for the twins to wear to Lydia's birthday party today.

"Ok I will. So I take i'm gonna meet you at Nathan and Haley's" Julian asked. He wasn't sure whether or not Brooke was coming home and they were all going together or he was just gonna meet her there with the babies.

"I'll meet you there because I have to go over some things before I leave the cafe" Brooke said.

Julian picked up Jude off the table "Alright. I'll see you there" he said as he cradled his son in his arms.

"Ok. I love you" Brooke said.

Julian smiled hearing her say those words. He never got tired of hearing that "I love you too" he said. He pushed the end button on his phone after picking it up off the changing table and left the boy's room.

Quinn and Clay pulled their luggage into the beach house "It's so good to be home" Quinn smiled.

"Yeah" Clay responded. He took Quinn's suitcase from her and took them to their bedroom.

Quinn followed her boyfriend and sat on the bed in their bedroom. "Are you ok" she asked. She noticed he had been acting a little off since they left Nathan and Haley's this morning.

Clay nodded "Yeah why wouldn't I be" he asked as he put some clothes in their dresser drawer.

"Well you know it's just you been sort of quiet since we left Nathan and Haley's" Quinn bit her bottom lip.

"Yeah i'm fine. I just got some things on my mind" Clay continued to unpack and put things away. He had two things on his mind. Nathan and the new guy he wanted to sign. He really thinks Nathan is being stubborn about this.

Quinn got off the bed and pushed the cover off the suitcase down stopping Clay from taking anymore clothes out "No your not. What's up" she asked in a concerned voice.

Clay sighed in frustration. He walked over to the bed and sat down. "Your brother in law is pulling this company down" he confirmed.

Quinn walked over to Clay and sat down next to him "Why do you say that" she asked.

"Every person we try to sign, Nathan grills them. It's question after question and than he runs background checks on them" Clay sighed "It's like he doesn't trust to sign anyone anymore".

Quinn didn't really know what to say. She was just curious what went down between him and Nathan earlier "What did Nathan say earlier" she asked.

"Do you remember that Derek guy we seen at the river court" Clay asked and stared at his girlfriend.

Quinn nodded "Yeah".

"Well he said he wants to meet this guy first before I sign him or anything. He said as I quote "We don't need another Ian". I mean seriously not every person we run across will be another Ian and try to endanger his family" Clay said.

Quinn took Clay's hand in hers "I kinda understand where Nathan is coming from. Haley bought this up earlier and she has said Nathan has been very protective over the kids since this Ian stuff happened. She said he's tired of everytime he lets someone in their life all they do is hurt them in the end. I mean think of it Clay, you have Carrie, Renee, Ian, Dan. Do I need to go on? Nathan is just tired of Jamie getting hurt all the time. Some of that may have not been physical harm for Jamie but it sure was emotionally for him" Quinn said.

"I guess your right but this company needs more clients" Clay said.

Quinn faced her boyfriend "Look I think you should just stand by Nathan's decisions. I mean he's your best friend. Let him do what he's gotta do. Try to see it from Nathan's point of view. How would you feel if all that drama happened to one of your kids" Quinn cleared her throat "Hypothetically speaking" she asked.

"Alright you got a good point" Clay said.

Quinn cupped her boyfriend's face in her hands and gently kissed on the lips. "We got a few hours before we have to go to Lydia's birthday party" Quinn got over Clay straddling him "What do you say we drop this little convo for now and go in the jacuzzi for a while" Quinn suggested.

Clay smirked at his girlfriend "That sounds good" he went to kiss Quinn but before he could she teasingly moved away.

"Uh no" she chuckled "Not here" she had a devilish smirk on her face as she left the room.

"Damn she's such a tease" Clay groaned. He got up from the bed and started to go after his girlfriend.

Nathan sat at a nearby picnic table on the docks staring out at the the river as he was holding his daughter safely in his arms. Nathan bought Lydia to the docks to spend a little time with his daughter before her party while Haley had to make a few quick runs around town. He held his cell phone up to his ear as he listened to the other line ringing and soon heard the phone go straight to a voicemail. Nathan listened to the greeting. He ended the call and sighed. Nathan put his cell phone in his pocket and watched as his one year old daughter just stared at the calm water on the docks. He picked up his daughter from his lap "It's so hard to believe you are already 1" he sat his daughter on the picnic table "This is where your mama and I had our first tutoring session" Nathan chuckled at remembering the past. Nathan stared at his one year old daughter "I promise you I won't fail you like I did your brother" He didn't know why he was feeling all this now. He just felt like he failed his own son by his choices and letting all those bad people that he bought into their lives. "I promise you I won't let bad people in your life" Nathan said.

Lydia started babbling some things that nobody could understand.

Nathan smiled and picked his daughter up and hugged her tightly "I promise" he said as he stared at the river.

A woman stood a few feet away listening to the whole conversation.
