Chapter 9
Rachel and Brooke Are At It Again!
Previously on, "What Comes From This New Life"...
"Oh...and what is her name, maybe I've seen her there." she said, taking a drink of her water.
"Oh, she just started at this bar a week ago, so probably not, but her name is, Rachel."
Brooke started choking on her water when she said her name. "Oh my god." she thought, trying not to make a fool of herself in front of Brittany because she was very confused as to why she started choking. "Um, sorry, excuse me for a second."
---------------------
"Brooke, what's wrong?" he asked, confused and concerned about Brooke's change of attitude.
"You want to know what I just found out?" she said, raising her voice a little.
"What is it?" Lucas asked, ready to here this one, it couldn't have been worse than what him and Braden were just talking about.
"Little miss sweet Brittany is a Gatina!"
"What?" Lucas asked, not getting it right away.
Brooke looked at him for a second.
Lucas's mouth dropped. "Oh no."
"Yea, I know, kind of how I reacted." she said, sitting down, a little tired out from passing back and forth. "Do you know what this means?"
"No, but I'm sure your going to tell me."
"I am going to have to see Rachel agian!" she said, really angry. She hadn't seen that bitch since high school and Brooke was happy when she moved away.
"Are you still mad she tried to take me away from you?" he asked, taking her hand and getting her of the chair.
"Yes." she said, pouting, while hugging him.
"Brooke, I love you." he continued. "Besides, she probably isn't like that anymore."
"People can't change." she said, smiling. "Just look at us."
Lucas laughed. "Ok, we'll deal with this later, but right now we have no kids for once, is this how you want to spend our alone time?"
Brooke giggled. "Seeing as how we were talking about the past, do you mind if we relive it?" she said, winking, and getting the car keys.
"Where are we going?" he asked, raising his eyebrow, just like he always does when he's confused.
"Outside." she said, still looking at him with that devious smile on her face.
"Then why do we need to car keys?"
"How else are we suppose to open the car door?" she asked, giggling. "If we're going to relive the past, we might as well do it somewhere where we had a lot of fun."

A week later, Brooke still never got a chance to talk to Braden about the Gatina thing, because of her hectic schedule, so he was still continuing to see Brittany. Lucas and Brooke were going out on Saturday night for supper, so getting Braden to watch his sister's and brother's was a great way to get him to take a break from seeing Brittany on the weekend.
"Braden, me and your dad need you to stay home tomorrow night and watch the kids."
"I can't, I have plans with Brittany." he said, annoyed.
"I know." she said, laughing.
"Mom!"
"Braden!" she said, mocking him.
"We'll do it, mom." Bridget said, cutting in. "As long as we can have some friends over."
"Fine, but 1 each, and Haley or Peyton can come over whenever they want to check on you guys." Brooke explained.
"Deal."
"Looks like you and Brittany get to go out after all." she said, frustrated.
"Why don't you want me and Brittany to go out?" he asked, confused. Brooke liked Brittany and suddenly she was always trying to find a way to get him to stay home.
"My husband!" Brooke squealed, when Lucas came through the front door.
"My daddy!" Madison screamed, then jumped down from the table where she was coloring.
"Oh, I'm so loved." he said, picking up Madison and hugging Brooke. "How are my 2 beautiful girls?"
"I'm good, but mommy is mad at Braden." Madison said, jumping down and going back to her coloring.
"What?" he asked, laughing.
"I'm not mad at him, I just wanted him to stay home tomorrow night so he couldn't go out with Brittany." she whispered.
"Oh, I see." he said, whispering, too. "Why are we whispering?"
"Braden's just in the living room, thats why, and don't mock me." she said, wrapping her arms around Lucas' neck and kissing him. "How was your day?"
"Good, I actually just ran into Haley, she was taking Anna-Lee to another audition."
"For what?"
"To be one of the kids on this new kid show they don't even have a title for yet...and they actually called Haley and asked if Anna-Lee would want to audition."
"Oh, good for her, I wish my kids had acting talents, Madison, go practice for mommy." she said, jokingly.
"No, I'm coloring!"
"Maybe she's like Peyton and she'll be an artist." Lucas said.
"Or maybe she'll be like me and be good at getting guys! Oh, I'd be so proud!" Brooke said, clapping her hands together.
"I'm sure you would...Madison, don't listen to your mom, she's crazy!"
Madison giggled.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hi, were here for the audition." Haley said to the lady behind the desk.
"Name, please." she said, not even looking up from her papers.
"Anna-Lee Taylor Scott." Anna-Lee said, smiling.
That made the lady look up from her papers. "Aw, ohmigod, isn't she the cutest little thing."
"That's what I've been told." Haley said, proudly.
"Yes, she's right here." she said, pointing to her name on the paper. "Its actually her turn in about 10 minutes."
"Ok, thank you."
"You will need to put this name tag on her, and fill out this form." the lady explained.
"Ok."
"And Anna-Lee, how about you come with me and I'll introduce you to some of the kids you might be working with." said another tall, skinny lady holding out her hand to Anna-Lee.
She looked at Haley before she took the lady's hand. "Yes, its ok, sweetie." Haley said, sitting down to fill out the form.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
At Brooke and Lucas's, Peyton came over and Kaydence was telling Brooke and Peyton all about her day at school.
"...and then I was hanging out with Allie and she told me that Mason likes me and I was like, no he doesn't, and she was like, yes he does, and then I went and asked him and he told me to get lost!"
"Was he with his friends when he said that?" Peyton asked her.
"Yea, why would Allie tell me that though?" she asked, totally confused.
"I'll give you some advice, Kaydence." Peyton said, while Brooke and her laughed to eachother. They thought it was so cute how she was so upset about it. "When a guy likes you and he can't admit it infront of his friends that he likes you, then he's not mature enough for you and he's not worth it...Oh, I get it now."
Brooke just laughed. "Yea, she's right, Kaydence...and you just ignore this boy."
"Thanks, mom, and Aunty Peyton."
"Anytime, hun."
Kaydence went upstairs, and Brooke and Peyton started laughing. "Your in for a fun ride." Peyton said.
"I know, what am I suppose to tell her when the guy tells her he likes her and then blows her off in front of his friends? Because we all know that hasn't ever happened to me."
"Haley." Peyton said, laughing some more.
"Oh god, she would kill you if she was here right now!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Haley was just finished getting Anna-Lee ready and practicing her lines again.
"Mommy, is daddy coming?"
Haley looked at her for a second and the look she got on her face didnt make Anna-Lee happy. "No...I'm sorry, baby." she said, hugging her.
"Why not?" she asked, putting her lip out. It always broke Haley's heart to see her like this.
"He's working late today, I promise he won't miss the next one, ok?"
She nodded.
"Anna-Lee, your up next!"
"Ok, sweetie, are you ready?" Haley asked, making sure her hair and dress were perfect.
"Yes, I've been ready for ever!" she said, getting excited.
"Alright, just try your best, I'll be watching."
"Anna-Lee Taylor Scott!" yelled another lady. "Your on!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Are we still on for tomorrow night?" Brittany asked, as her and Braden left the Cafe.
"Yea, I almost had to stay home and babysit, but I paid my sisters to tell my mom they would do it." he said, laughing.
"Braden!" she said, hitting him playfully.
"What? That's what they're for."
"My mom is really excited about meeting you, because you meeting her means that your actually a boyfriend and not just some guy that I'm going to dump in a couple days." she said, jokingly.
"Well, thanks, I think."
"Yea, I really like you Braden, your the longest relationship I've ever had." she said, taking his hand as they walked back to her house.
"I really like you, too." he said, stopping to kiss her. She just smiled.
"Hey, love birds." Gabriella and her close "guy friend", Jordan, who was also Braden's friend walked up to them.
"Sick, man, what are you doing with my cousin?"
"I would like to say the same thing you and Brittany are doing, but that really doesn't seem appropriate." he said, sarcastically.
"Ha ha, very funny." Brittany said, punching Jordan on the arm.
"Ow." he said, shocked.
"Come on, Braden." she said, taking his arm again. "Bye, Gabby, I'll call you later."
"Bye, guys."

That night, after Haley and Nathan put Anna-Lee to bed, she took his arm and practically dragged him to the kitchen.
"We need to talk!" she said, raising her voice, but not so much that she woke Anna-Lee up.
"What's the matter, Hales?" he asked, concerned and confused.
"When I took Anna-Lee to her audition today, guess who wasn't there."
Nathan looked at her for a minute. "Ohmigod, I'm sorry, Haley, I totally forgot."
"Don't apologize to me, apologize to the little girl that had to see all the kids, happy, with both of their parents with them." she explained, getting really frustrated.
He didn't say anything, just stood there looking really guilty.
"You better hope she gets this part so you can make it up to her." she said, hugging him. "Sorry I yelled at you."
Nathan laughed.
"What?"
"Nothing, its just funny how everytime we have a fight, we make up in the next 30 seconds, anyways."
"Well, I love you, and I don't like yelling at you, its just that you can be a real ass sometimes, and to a 5-year-old yet!" she said, laughing. He laughed, too.
"I love you, too."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Good night, mommy." Madison and Jesse said, hugging Brooke an then Lucas. "Good night, daddy."
"Night my babies." Brooke said, turning of the light and shutting the door a little bit.
"There, now lets go to our bed." Lucas said, poking Brooke in the back to make her hurry.
"Lucas!" she whisper yelled, turning around. "That tickles!"
"I know." he said, laughing.
"Ok, ok, ok, stop it, we have to talk about the recent situation."
"I thought we were done talking about that?" Lucas said, throwing Brooke on the bed and then taking of his shirt.
"Lucas, you can't make me choose between your hot body and our kids problems."
"Yes, I can, and I'm doing it because I know you can't resist me." he said, sarcastically, then laid beside her and started kissing her.
"Ohhh, Lucas, I hate you!" she said, giving in and kissing him back.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The next night, Brooke and Lucas were getting ready to leave.
"Lucas!"
"Ohmigod, what!" Lucas said, bugging her.
"I have an idea, you go outside and pretend your picking me up, like its a first date!"
"Brooke, do you remember our first date?" Lucas said, laughing.
"Yea, but I never said like its our first date, I said like a first date." she said, pushing him out the door. "Just do it!"
Ding, dong
"Hi, Lucas." she said, happily, opening the door.
"Hi, Brooke, you look beautiful tonight." he said, trying to play along as well as he could.
"Thank you." she said, blushing. "Bridget and Cailen, this is Lucas."
They just laughed. "Hi, Lucas, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, too, girls."
"Don't get into to much trouble while I'm gone, munchkins."
"Bye, mommy, bye, daddy!" Jesse, Madison and Ethan all said together.
"Whoa, not yet." she said, joking.
Lucas just laughed, then he shut the door behind him. "Wow, very cute kids, who's the father?"
"Oh, he left me after we had the last batch of twins, he said he didn't want kids anymore, but I don't like to talk about it." she said, pretending to be sad, as Lucas opened the car door for her.
"Wow, that must have been horrible for you." he said, trying not to laugh.
"Yea, well now I'm with you and that's all that matters." she said, moving to the middle seat so she could put her head on Lucas's shoulder, then he put his arm around her.
When they got to the restaurant, Brook was sick of waiting in line, so being Lucas Scott he was able to get them ahead of everybody else.
"Right this way please." the very tall man said.
"Oh, I love it when you do that!" Brooke giggled. "It makes me feel like we're so important."
Lucas laughed.
"Ohmigod." Brooks said, shocked, then just froze right where she was standing.
"What's wrong, Brooke?"
"Here's your table, Mr. Scott." the man said, seating them. As soon as they sat down Brooke put the menu by her head, as if she was hiding from someone.
"Brooke, what are you doing?" he said, laughing at her more now. She looked really rediculous hiding like that.
"Look over there." she said, quietly, pointing to her right.
Lucas looked and then quickly looked back at Brooke.
"Dad?" Braden asked, surprised and stood up from his seat. Brittany and Rachel looked at Braden confused and then over to where he was looking.
"Dammit." Brooke said, putting the menu down, but not for a second looking at them.
"Hi, Braden." he said, nervously, hoping Rachel had no idea who he was.
"Lucas!" Rachel practically screamed. Lucas mouthed the words, "I'm sorry", to Brooke.
"How do you know my dad?" Braden asked, confused, as she got up to walk over to him.
"We went to high school together."
Braden and Brittany looked at eachother confused.
"I had no idea you were still in Tree Hill." Rachel said to Lucas. She didn't notice Brooke yet because she wasn't facing her.
"Yea, I've been here the whole time."
"And who's this?" she asked, turning to loko at Brooke. Brooke turned her head, so Rachel could see her face. There was no way she was able to get out of this one. "Ohmigod its Brooke Davis!"
"Brooke Davis?" Braden asked, more confused.
"Ha ha yea its me, except my last name isn't Davis anymore." she said, feeling very uncomfortable now.
"You two?"
"Yea."
"Wait...your Braden's mom?"
"Well, that's usually how it goes..."
"No, I mean I just can't see you as a mother."
"Oh?" she asked, kind of offended. "I actually have 8 kids and love every single one of them."
"Lucas, couldn't you keep it in your pants?" she asked, laughing.
"Don't talk to him like that." Brooke said, angrily, standing up.
"Brooke, its ok." Lucas said.
"No, I'm not going to let her talk to you like that." she said, raising her voice. "You were a bitch to me in high school, but you don't say stuff like that to my husband, especially in front of his son!"
"Make me." she said, getting in Brooke's face. Just then Brooke slapped Rachel right across the face.
"Excuse me, you people are going to have to leave." the tall, skinny man said, braking up the fight that was just starting to get out of hand.
Nobody listened to him, though. "Don't hit my mom!" Brittany yelled.
"Braden, you can come home with us, ok?" Lucas said, grabbing his arm.
"This isn't over, slut!" Rachel yelled, letting go of Brooke's hair, while Brittany got her out of the restuarant.
"Oh, don't worry, I'm not even close to be finished with you, bitch!" Brooke yelled, while Lucas helped her off the floor.
On the way home it was pretty much silent, then Braden spoke.
"Mom, what was that about?"
"I went to school with her, too, and we didn't exactly get along as you can see." Brooke explained, a lot calmer than she was earlier.
"What she's saying is that your mom and Rachel used to fight over me." he said, proudly.
Brooke smacked him.
"Ow, what was that for?"
"Stop being so full of yourself!" she yelled.
He laughed and Braden gave him a high-five. "Alright, dad, I didn't know you were that hot in high school."
"Yea..."
"You two make me sick." Brooke said, angrily.
"Brooke..." he said, trying to pull her closer to him.
"Don't touch me."
