Hey I'm back, and really fast too. Well some people may think I'm in a depressing mood right now, and I think just maybe I am or I like to write depressing stories- who really knows. The main reason that I am this depressed is that one of my best friends is moving across the country next week and I'm at my dad's. So just this weeks be bad. So enjoy this last chapter of Pocketful of Sunshine. - Denver
Chapter Ten: Always Watching Over Us
"Mom we're waiting in the car so hurry up!" Shayne screamed running out the front door.
"Brooke?"
"Cara take the boys out there with you guys they are driving me nuts!" Brooke screamed back.
Two long years with out him- without Lucas here. Exactly twenty four long months to this day.
"Jason and Max go down stairs with Cara." Brooke begged the two seven-year-olds.
"But mom I don't want to go with them." Max begged.
"Max go. I still have to get your brother and sister ready." Brooke begged.
That's right. I guess that one night things changed. Brooke got pregnant with twins. A little boy and girl, both a copy of their father and it broke Brooke's heart into pieces since they will never know their father in person, but in spirit they do.
"Ruby and Mikey please let me put on your clothes. We can't go visit daddy unless you put them on." Brooke begged, knowing it was impossible. The two eighteen month olds pretty much ruled the house hold on eight. They where the babies and everyone loved them to death, after all they are the last piece of Lucas left.
"Brooke this is pointless." Maya complained. "There is no way that they are going to get changed."
"No Momma." Michael Lucas Scott smirked at his mother.
"Michael!" Brooke said giving up. "Ruby how about we put your monkey dress on?"
"Monkey?" Ruby Karen Scott asked.
"Yes." Brooke smiled holding out the little pink and yellow plaid dress with the little monkey with its banana on it.
"Okay." Ruby smiled.
"Let Maya put it on you for momma." Brooke said handing the dress and the little blondie over to Maya.
"Come on little one." Maya laughed walking over and into her room.
"Brooke!" Caralynn screamed.
Now alone raising two seventeen-year-olds, a thirteen-year-old, two seven-year-olds and now two eighteen month olds is hard for one person, but Brooke wouldn't change one thing. Everyone agreed that the best for the three kids was to stay here in Tree Hill, since Karen moved out of there and no way that Dan was going to take these kids Brooke took them. In the end it was the best for everyone.
"Yeah Care?" Brooke screamed back chasing after Mikey.
"Max and Jason are driving Shay and me insane." Cara complained.
"Tell them to stop or I'll take the video games away."
"Okay but what if that doesn't work?"
"Cara it should."
"I'll try."
"Mikey please let me put this on you so we can go see daddy?"
"No!"
"Why not?"
"Nakie good."
"Fine you're going in your diaper." Brooke said picking up the boy and walking out the door. "Maya, Ruby come on."
"Pretty, Ruby."
"I knows." The little girl giggled grabbing her older sister's hand. It was a monthly thing they did now. The second weekend of the month they would get up early and go visit Lucas.
"Dada gone?"
"Mikey." Brooke said. She couldn't tell the story anymore. It hurt like hell every time. "Climb in bud."
"What's wrong mom?" Shayne asked.
"Nothing Shayne. Let's head out." Brooke faked a smile before pulling out of the driveway.
X-X-X-X-X-X
"Food time!" Brooke smiled at her oldest daughters laying out a blanket for them all to sit on.
"Say hi to daddy my babies." Brooke smiled pulling Mikey and Ruby onto her lap.
"I love you all." A voice said as a gust of wind blew by them.
"And we love you too." Brooke smiled knowing he was watching over them always.
