Can We Just Hold On?
#7. Making This Boy Go Crazy
"Oh, girl, you make me feel like whoa . Spinning me out of control with every little move you're making. Driving me wild if you know what I'm saying. Hey, shoot another smile my way . You're making this boy go crazy."- Dylan Scott
"Aunt Brooke! Wake up!"
"Mommy get up now!"
"Yeah mommy!"
"I'm up. I'm up." Brooke sighed. She was tired, beyond her normal every day tired. After the kids went to sleep last night and Lucas went home, Haley and Brooke stayed up till three in the morning reminiscing their high school days and watching home videos along side with looking at albums filled with pictures. It was a night that Brooke needed and the bottle of wine sure made it better. "Have you guys ever had a wine hang over?"
"Mommy, what's wine?" Lena questioned. "I want some!"
"No, no, no. No daughter of mine is drinking till she is at the right age. Got it?" Brooke laughed.
"Aunt Brooke, what's hangover mean?" Samantha asked. "Daddy is hung over whenever him and Uncle Luke have man night. Even Jamie isn't allowed to go to those. Mommy says they see not so nice girls during them."
Brooke let out a laugh. The things five-year-olds pick up over time. "Sammy Girl, it's something when an adult has too much fun. You'll understand in about twenty years."
"I hope you're not telling my daughter to start drinking anytime soon." Nathan stood at the door with a smirk on his face. "Kids, go get ready. Uncle Luke and Brookie here are taking you guys to the zoo today."
"Really?" All three kids screamed as loud as they could.
Brooke let out an aggravated sigh as her head started pounding even more. She totally forgotten about going to the zoo. "You are so going to get Nathan." Brooke fell back into the comforts of the bed.
"Oh come on Davis, what happened to your strong tolerance for alcohol?" Nathan smirked.
"What happened to Haley's dislike in you going to strip clubs? Better watch out what you say around Sam. She told me."
Nathan laughed turning around. "Haley's making breakfast. Lucas should be here soon so you may want to get ready. Better yet, I think Lucas may like that you still own that sweatshirt."
Shit. Brooke sighed. She had forgotten about this sweatshirt when she was packing. It was just the norm of what she wore to bed. "Funny, Nate. Now let me get dressed. Maybe I can wish it's Haley's Aunt Flo so you won't be able to have any fun."
"Not funny at all." Nathan pouted to the other raven haired and walked out of the room.
"Now what to wear?" Brooke thought out loud to herself. If anything she wanted to wear something that would make Lucas squirm. Something motherly, yet still sexy- she was playing hard to get after all. She remembered one sundress she brought along and thought it was perfect. "This will do."
"Mommy?" Lena stood with Jackson at the doorway.
"Yes my monkeys?" Brooke pulled them into her arms. God did she love these two kids more than life in general. She'd do anything, like spend the day at the zoo with a guy that she hated at times.
"Can we stay here?" Jackson asked.
"Stay here? What do you mean Bubbah?" Brooke was confused.
"We wanna stay here. No more New York." Lena stated. "We like it here more. We see you more!"
"Now my babes, I'm not too sure we can stay here." Brooke sighed. She was getting it from Nathan, Haley and Lucas that she should move back home. Now she was getting it from her own kids. "I'll think about it."
"Pretty please?" Jackson begged.
"Bubbah, I'll think about it. Till then, you two go eat. Mommy has to get ready."
-XO-OTH-XO-
"Lukie!" Lena screamed when she saw the front door open revealing Lucas and Sawyer.
"Hey there Lena." Lucas laughed. "Don't you look pretty today."
"Uh huh. My mommy made me it!" Lena bragged.
"We'll it's very pretty." Lucas smiled softly. "Isn't it Sawyer?"
"Uh huh." Sawyer nodded. She stayed quiet though. Hanging on to Lucas's pant leg.
"Thank you so much for doing this, Luke." Haley walked over with an appreciative smile plastered on her face. "I owe you."
"Now do I really have a choice in taking them?" Lucas asking knowing he had no choice at all.
"No, but it will just be you and Brooke."
"And five kids." Lucas added. "Not much can happen."
"Slow and steady Luke, slow and steady." Haley laughed. "Now come eat before Nathan or Jamie eat it all."
"Aunt Haley?" Sawyer spoke up. "Can I stay here? I don't want to go to the zoo."
"Sawyer doesn't want to go to the zoo?" Haley acted shocked. "Why's that baby?"
"Daddy says we spend today together and then Brooke's coming with Lena and Jackson."
"That's because they want to go to the zoo also, baby."
"But he's my daddy!" Sawyer let the tears fall from her Scott blue eyes. "Not their daddy."
"Sawy, he will always be your daddy. That will never change. Just like your mommy's not around, Jackson and Lena's daddy isn't around. Don't worry, they're not going to take your daddy away."
"Promise?" Sawyer held up a pinking finger."
"I promise." Haley smiled. "The zoo should be fun today."
"Daddy said they had monkey's. They're my favorite!"
"They are pretty cool, aren't they?"
"Uh-huh."
"Now come on let's go eat."
"Do I have to go hang out with them?" Jamie sat at the counter. "It's going to be so boring."
"Jamie," Nathan sighed. "You're going. The zoo will be fun."
"You can hang with me!" Jackson smiled walking over to him. "We can stay away from the girls!"
"You're too young." Jamie hissed. He hated being the oldest kid; there was never anyone to hang out with him.
"James, be nice." Haley warned. "You're going and you are going to be nice to everyone. Plus no video games for the day for your little attitude this morning."
"Is everyone excited for the zoo?" Brooke walked into the kitchen and immediately took Lucas's breath away. Her floral sundress fell right above her knees and her hair was in soft curls falling down her back. She looked beautiful. Lucas thought it was just to make him loose it, and boy was he loosing it inside when he looked at her.
"I am!" Lena, Samantha, Sawyer and Jackson yelled at the same time.
"Then lets go to the zoo. You ready for this Luke?" Brooke laughed. She knew two adults and five kids, four under the age of six, was going to be a handful.
"As ready as I can be." Lucas laughed. "Let's go!"
"Behave!" Haley screamed behind them as they walked out the door.
"Now time for our fun." Nathan snickered kissing his wife's neck. He was going to enjoy a kid free day.
-XO-OTH-XO-
"Uncle Luke! Aunt Brooke! Let us out!" Samantha screamed from the middle row of the SUV as they pulled into a parking spot at the zoo.
"Samantha, relax." Lucas laughed at his niece as he opened the door to let them out. "No matter how fast we move we will still end up at the Zoo. Girls, stay by the car. No wondering off."
"But it's for my birthday!" Samantha cheered.
"I know, I know." Lucas shook his head. "Now, hold on." He lifted the trunk door to let Jamie and Jackson out. "Boys, lets go."
"Time to go." Lucas faked a smile. He was looking forward to spending time with Brooke but was not looking forward to having five kids to also spend time with. "When we get inside, guys, we'll grab a map and then figure out where we will start. No running off to see something. If you want to see something then tell me or Brooke, okay?"
"Okay." All five responded.
Two hours into the zoo, all the kids were behaving and having a blast. Even Lucas and Brooke were having fun.
"Daddy, can we go to the petting zoo? Please?" Sawyer begged pointing over to the site. "Can we? Please?"
"Pretty please Uncle Luke?" Samantha begged along.
"Come on Lukie?" Lena joined in.
"Yeah, come on Lukie." Brooke joked playing along. "Fine, we can go. You guys stay in the petting area and we'll stay over here. Okay?" She took a seat on a wooden bench outside the area. "Jamie, keep an eye on Jackson and girls stay together!"
"Good luck with them listening." Lucas laughed as he sat beside her. "I'm surprised they're all behaving and Jamie has yet to complain."
Brooke just responded with a shrug and kept an eye on the kids. A smile was formed on her face when she saw Lena helping Jackson pet a baby goat.
"They're good kids, Brooke. You did a good job so far with them." Lucas smiled after following her eyes to the kids. "You should be proud."
"Thanks, they're a handful but I love them." Brooke smiled again.
"The mother thing looks good on you. Makes you very hot." Lucas smirked the infamous Scott smirk. "I like it."
"Cool it Scott." Brooke hissed rolling her green eyes behind her glasses.
"Oh come on Brookie, lighten up a bit. Have some fun." Lucas teased as Jackson ran over crying to them.
"Bubbah, what's wrong?" Brooke went into action of mother mode and immediately took the boy into her arms. "Jackie Boy, what's wrong?"
"They mean." Was all the adults good get out.
"What did they do?" Lucas was worried now.
"They pushed him." Jamie walked over to the pare. "This is boring."
"Girls, get over here!" Brooke rolled her eyes again with a sigh as she called out to the three little girls. "Now!"
"Mommy, he's annoying." Lena pouted walking over two the adults.
"Sit, now. The three of you." Lucas said as he and Brooke got up from the bench to allow the girls to sit. "What in the world did you three do?"
"Daddy?" Sawyer looked up with her bright blue eyes trying to get out of being punished.
"Not this time, Sawyer. Please explain what you three did?" Lucas was serious about this. He sunk down to their level and waited for an answer but no one spoke.
"Lena Davis, I want the truth!" Brooke warned. "Now, or we are going to go sit in the car and head back to the house. I'll take all three of you back with me."
"We didn't mean too." Samantha broke the silence. "He just kept bothering us and we just wanted to be left alone."
"Then you three should've told him that. Not pushing him. Now I think, if Lucas agrees, we should leave and get lunch and then head back to the house. I think you three had enough for today."
"I totally agree. I also think Jamie and Jackson can get ice cream at lunch and you three, as a punishment, are not allowed."
"But daddy, I love ice cream." Sawyer cried out. At this point tears were falling from her eyes. Lucas did the best he could to calm the situation and took Sawyer into his arms.
"Move it girls." Lucas took Samantha's hand and Brooke grabbed a hold of Lena's hand. "Jamie come on."
"Where to for lunch?" Brooke asked when they got into the car. The girls where still teary eyed over the fact that they had to leave the zoo and were not allowed to have ice cream later that day.
"How about something fast?" Lucas offered. "The pizza place by the beach? Then they can get a little energy out and we can allow Haley and Nate to have alone time."
"Sounds like a plan to me."
The rest of the car ride was done in silence. It took them twenty minutes to drive from the zoo to the pizza place and Brooke enjoyed the silence. It was calming.
"Can we go to the beach?" Jamie asked. He was always a water kid and loved every second about the beach.
"Yes we can Jimmy Jam." Brooke smiled using an old nickname.
"Please no nicknames, I'm too old for that." Jamie rolled his eyes at his Aunt and climbed out of the car.
Lunch went by fast and the two pizza pies order were gone in a matter of minutes. It was finally time to soak up some sun and hit the beach, even if they're in their normal clothes and not prepared at all for the beach. It was relaxing.
"Now have fun, stay where we can still see you all, please." Lucas smiled sitting in the sand.
"Daddy, I'm sorry for earlier." Sawyer looked down at her feet.
"It's okay Sawyer, but you have to apologize to Jackson not me. This still means no ice cream." Lucas let out a small laugh. "Brooke sit and relax. We'll most likely be here a while."
"I'm not sitting in the cold sand, Lucas." Brooke complained.
"Still the little princess, huh?" Lucas laughed pulling her down onto his lap. He knew it probably wasn't the best thing to do but he couldn't help it. Her standing next to where he sat with a pout placed on her face made him laugh.
"Lucas Eugene! You are so not nice right now!" Brooke yelled in between laughing.
"Kids! Attack!" Lucas smirked. This was all planned out before him. A little way of payback for Brooke but Lucas couldn't exactly say for what. At the moment all four little kids ran and tackled each other on top of Brooke. During the tackling of Brooke, Lucas stood and watched while laughing. The scene before him melted his heart. All the girls were laughing and Jackson decided to stop and ran off with Jamie to dig a hole.
"You have a great family here, Sir." An elderly lady walked up to him. "Don't ever let them go."
"I don't plan on it." Lucas smiled back to her as he continued to watch the scene in front of him. He wanted to remember this memory forever. He hasn't seen Brooke smile as big as she did at this moment in a long time and he loved it.
"Lucas Scott you are so dead!" Brooke managed to get up and ran straight after him.
"Pretty Girl," Lucas smiled backing slowly up. At that one instance he ran and grabbed Brooke into his arms and pulled Brooke over her shoulder. "This is for making me go crazy." Lucas dropped her right into the ocean. He knew he was going to be dead meat and ran and hid behind the children before she could get to him.
From the distance a duo was staring at the group, watching them like a hawk.
"Peyton, maybe we should just leave them alone. I don't care enough to take care of Lena. She's happy with Brooke and that's all that matters." Rachel sighed. In the pit of her stomach she knew she couldn't go through with it. She had to do something to stop it if her partner in crime didn't want too.
"Rachel, stop it. They don't deserve our daughters. They won't let us see them and they will pay for that." Peyton stood up and walked away from the beach.
Rachel knew she had to stop this. It was time to move on.
Well that's the end of chapter seven! What do you all think of it? The drama is just picking up and Brucas and getting on the right track for once! Thanks for reading! Please tell me what you think!
Thank You Time!
Sandygirl- She'll start to listen to what he says, eventually! Haha. Brooke's stubborn so it will take some time for it! Peyton just drives me insane! The thought of her annoys me! Thank you for everything!
Cheery Tropay Venturi- You're forgiven for forgetting to review, don't worry. I imagine Brooke as the type of person who would always put her kids first and then her love life. That's exactly what I'm trying to portray. Thanks for reviewing!
MsDreamer93- More Brucas scenes are coming right up. I'm excited to write more of them together! I love them! Skills and Mouth will possibly show up again! I have some ideas for them! I hate Peyton because I feel like she's too moody. Like I don't want to deal with someone who pouts and thinks oh me! Me! Me! All the time! I think I would like her more if she didn't put herself first before Brooke all the damn time. Like I feel like their friendship is bull crap because Peyton isn't a very good one. She doesn't show that she cares about Brooke. She's just too into herself and not caring for others. Plus Peyton and Lucas together are two people who are too similar for each other. Like Haley and Nathan are opposites and so are Brooke and Lucas. They balance each other, if you understand what I mean. I'm going to stop now before I start rambling like crazy. Thanks for reviewing!
Dianehermans- thanks for reviewing!
Dkfuryan- Thanks for reviewing!
