A few months later, while Paige and Matthew were playing in the park along with April and Michael with Randy, his wife Kelly, and April's dad Rob Szatkowski watching over the kids, Brooke and Phil went to the Chicago Mall. "So why are you taking me to the mall?"

"Because I want to buy you some things."

"Phil-" Brooke started. Phil put his finger on her lips and he said "Don't say another word, we're going shopping and that's final"

Brooke rolled her eyes and she pulled down her white T-shirt. Then, she adjusted her studded belt on her black short shorts. Phil looked at Brooke, who was also sporting the usual black and white converse sneakers. He chuckled at Brooke blowing a piece of hair out of her face, and then she said "You know you kind of are spoiling me"

"Eh," Phil said. "Not really. I mean, I know how much Matthew likes to paint-"

"How did you know that?"

"I peeked in Paige's room yesterday and I saw him using the canvas that I got for Paige"

"She never used it?"

Phil shook his head no. "I saw how much he enjoyed painting and how good he was, I figured I'd get him some painting stuff"

"You're too nice" Brooke said as she started playing with the back of Phil's head. She started to run her fingers through his hair and she saw him blushing. "Hey, well, Matthew's a good kid"

"And so is Paige," Brooke started. "Did you tell her about her mom?"

Phil nodded his head in disappointment. "Let's just say she didn't take it too well"

"Awh the poor thing" Brooke said.

"Yeah, but she seemed to take a liking to you"

Brooke smiled and she said "That's great"

"Yeah," Phil said then they pulled up to the mall. "Let's go in"

Then, they walked into the mall together. They waked into Hot Topic and they bought a bunch of things. Then, Brooke saw a Batman onesie. She smiled to herself and Phil saw this. She wants to have a baby, Phil thought to himself. Then, she looked nback at Phil and she said "What?"

Phil shook his head saying "Nothing,"

Then, they both left the store with their purchased items. At the food court, Brooke barely touched her food while Phil was stuffing his face with his Chinese food. After he swallowed, he said to Brooke "We could've bought that onesie"

Brooke looked at him startled. "What?"

"You heard me," Phil said. "If you really wanted to, we could have bought that Batman onesie I saw you looking at"

Brooke blushed, then she said "It wouldn't fit Matthew"

"You could've saved it for another baby"

"Have you ever thought of having another baby besides Paige?"

"A lot of times. But what worries me about it is the fact of how Paige will react to the new addition. What about you?"

"Matthew's been my little man ever since his dad left. I don't want him feeling replaced. But yes, I have thought of having another baby"

Phil smiled. "You're so good with Matthew"

"Thank you, its always been me and him all his life. And now his birthday's coming up."

"It's already August?"

Brooke nodded her head "August 12th is his birthday"

"Well the we need to start planning"

"Phil-"

"Dont 'Phil' me. It's the least I can do"

"You would really help me plan Matthew's birthday party?"

Phil nodded his head. "I love Matthew like he's my own son"

Brooke smiled. She was glad that someone else loved Matthew just as much as she did.

Awwh! How sweet! :) more to come stay tumed
