Hello everyone! Am I the only one totally missing OTH? January is like so far away! I'll just start watching season one to pass the time. Love young Naley. Chapter Seven...
Haley and Brooke enter the candle lit kitchen, looking slightly nervous. Luke and Mouth stand around the kitchen table where they have laid out a bunch of food.
"I'm glad you girls are here. We have a critical situation... The ice cream is half melted and the pizza is half cooked. Just a suggestion, I would avoid the chicken wings, because we wouldn't want any medical emergencies. Ha!" Mouth.
Girls shoot Mouth a look.
"What?" Mouth.
Haley walks over to the cupboards and looks inside.
"None of that sounds good. I feel like cereal. You know us pregnant girls and our crazy cravings." Haley.
Haley pretends like she can't reach the cereal even though the boxes are only on the second shelf.
"Oh, drat! Luke, can you reach it for me?" Haley asks in an overly helpless voice.
"Sure." Says Lucas, his eyes narrowed.
Luke goes over to the cupboard and turns his back on the room as he looks in. Brooke immediately starts making gestures at Mouth to follow her. Mouth looks at her confused.
"What? What's wrong? Is there a spider on me?!" Mouth.
Mouth starts looking over his shoulders and brushing his arms. Luke turns; Brooke stops signaling and smiles innocently at Luke. Luke hands Haley the box of cereal. Haley and Brooke exchange a "what now" look.
"Luke, I'm kinda tired. I'm just going to go and sit on the couch. Can you carry the box for me?" Haley.
Lucas looks at her like he suspects something, but doesn't want to mess with hormonal Haley. "Okay."
Haley and Lucas head down the hall and into the living room. Brooke watches and once they are out of earshot she turns to Mouth, exasperated. She reaches out and quickly pinches him on the arm.
"Ouch! What was that for?!" Mouth.
Brooke whispers fast. "Was there a spider on you?! I was clearly making the universally known sign for follow-me-into-the-other-room-because-I-have-something-important-and-secretive-to-tell-you! Where did you get "is there a spider on me"?!"
"You know I'm totally Peter Parker-esk." Mouth.
"That's perfect because we're gonna need the Caped Crusader." Brooke.
"That's Batman." Mouth.
"Whatever. Haley's in labour." Brooke.
"WHAT!!!" Mouth.
Brooke covers Mouth's mouth (haha) with her hands. "SHHHHH!!!"
Mouth whispers. "What are we doing standing around here. We should be trying to get her to the hospital."
"It's safer if she stays here. The roads are all blocked or washed out and it's still raining like crazy. There are tree branches falling and when I was out on the porch, I think I saw a cow fly by. We'd be crazy to try." Brooke.
"Then we just wait?" Mouth.
"Not quite. (Air quotes)"We" just wait. "You" go over to Peyton's and get Nathan." Says Brooke.
"YOU WANT ME TO WHAT?!!!" Mouth.
"SHHHHHH!!!" Brooke.
Mouth whispers. "But you just said/it'd be crazy/the rain/What about the cow?!"
"You're not pregnant and it's just a little water." Brooke.
"Tell that to the Gulf Coast." Mouth.
"It's only like eight blocks, but fine, I'll give you two choices... You can go and get Nathan or you can stay here and help deliver his son." Brooke.
"I'll just grab my umbrella." Mouth.
"I thought so." Brooke.
Mouth takes his coat from the back of a chair and starts putting it on.
"So, why aren't we telling Luke?" Mouth.
"You wanna tell Heart-Condition-Boy that we're stuck in a storm with his pregnant BF/sister-in-law and she's about to pop?" Brooke.
"Good point." Mouth.
Mouth stands at the door with his hand resting on it. Brooke wrenches open the door and pushes him out.
"You'll be fine. You're rugged. You ride a bike." Brooke.
Mouth turns back to look at her with his head cocked to the side.
"Hurry!" Brooke.
Brooke pushes the door closed and leans against it with her eyes shut.
"I should have gone to Church Camp with Shelly." Brooke.
Alrighty! That was Part Seven. Seriously, I'm like a flower in the sun, I just love soaking up all your great feedback (as I reread that it sounded very lame, but true).
