Lucas watches the basketball game before him. His eyes follow his sister as she dodges Nathan to make the shot. Lucas chuckles softly at the sight. His eyes then travel over to his wife, also on the court. He sees her take the ball but she isn't a lucky as Heather. She puts to frustrated hands on her hips. Jacob grabs the ball running for the other hoop only to be blocked by a four year old Brookly, with her hand placed on her hips, "Where do you think you are going?" she asks causing everybody to bust out laughing allowing her to steal the ball.
"Okay everybody take a break," Heather says flushed and out of breath.
"You okay Sis?" Nathan asks looking at her.
"I'm fine" Heather assures him. "Brooklyn don't climb on Uncle Luke," Heather says seeing her daughter climb on Lucas.
"I'm tackaling him Mom!" She says rolling her eyes.
"Then stop tackaling Uncle Luke." Heather rephrases shaking her head.
"Come on Tyler, lets find something fun to do!" Brooke says shooting a look at Heather before leading her four year old cousin off a little ways.
"Preferably something that doesn't break his other arm!" Payton yells behind them shaking her head. "She's to much like you." She looks at Heather.
"I thought she got that from you" Heather looks seriously at Payton causing everybody to bust out laughing ounce more.
"Love of my life," Jason comes up behind Heather placing his arms around her swollen stomach, "please set down."
Heather rolls her eyes, "I'm fine!"
"You're nearly nine months pregnant" Nathan says if reminding her.
"You really think I don't know that?" Heather looks at him with a smirk.
"I think you forget from time to time," Brooke says holding onto the baby on her hip.
"Come here Sammatha, you'll make them shut up huh?" Heather says reaching for the one year old.
"Oh no you don't," Chase says taking the baby instead, "Get your own."
"I'm attempting to if you'll hand her over," Heather says still reaching for the baby.
"NO!" Chase says firmly. "You can't be carrying her around and playing basketball."
Heather rolls her eyes, "You're such a downer dude!"
"Hey Aunt Heather," Jacob comes up to her, "You gonna have that baby before I head off to college?"
"God I hope so, you don't leave for what three more months?" Heather says putting an arm around him.
"Try three weeks." He says laughing slightly.
"No, see you can't do that. This time can't be that close to over!" Heather looks at Payton and Lucas.
"I'm afraid it is Heather," Payton smiles rather sadly.
"Well, you have to come home every weekend, and you have to spend holidays here and…" Heather starts into a rant, but is stopped when Jacob holds up his hands.
"You won't even know I'm gone." He says.
Heather hugs him, "Honey, I always know when you're gone."
Haley walks up looking frustrated, "You're son would rather hang out with some girl then to come here with us!"
"He's growing up Hales, leave him be." Nathan pats the seat beside him.
"But I don't want him to grow up, I don't want any of them to grow up." Haley pouts slightly.
Heather watches as Brooklyn chases Tyler around, remembering her first steps and her first words. Suddenly a pain shoots through her lower stomach and she sucks in a breath. Lucas is the first to notice, "You okay Sis."
Heather stands upright smiling slightly, "How about we have a baby today?" She asks.
All eyes move from her as everybody gets quiet, "You mean you're in labor?" Jason asks standing in front of her.
Heather nods as another contraction over takes her. "That's what I mean," she says breathing deeply.
"We'll take Brooklyn," Haley says quickly. "Taylor is at Ballet anyways, so we'll bring them both to meet you at the hospital.
Jason nods and leads Heather to the car. Heather breathes deeply as the contractions get more intense. "He's in hurry." She says.
Jason looks over at her, "You know you could give us some warning before going into labor," he says with a laugh.
"Well, you could tell you're children a little about the labor process." Heather smiles at him and takes his hand.
Two hours later, Heather, Jason and Brooklyn set in her room. The new addition is wrapped in Heather's arms, as Brooklyn looks over at him. "He's wrickled." She says.
Jason laughs, "So were you kiddo."
"Really?" Brooklyn turns to look at him.
"Yup, and you were simply perfect, so is he." Jason reaches out a hand to stroke his sons cheek. "Welcome Lucas Lee." He says softly. The baby opens his eyes slightly.
"You better tell the other's to come in." Heather says moving gently to let Brooklyn set beside her.
Ounce more the whole family gathers around as the welcome the newest addition. "You did good," Jason whispers in her ear.
Heather shakes her head, "No, we did good Jason." She smiles up at him.
Okay that kinda leaves it open to more, but for know it's an end. Hope you all liked it!
