Enjoy Acception.

Jesse glanced up at Lucas. He wasn't buying Lucas' story. They were not going to the toy store! No, they were headed to-

"The mall!" Jesse groaned. Lucas ignored his comment and continued to drive. Jesse glared at Lucas. Lucas pulled into the parking lot and turned to Jesse.

"Ready?" Lucas asked. Jesse's eyes narrowed.

"No, this is a mall-"

"I know what it is," Lucas said. Jesse scoffed.

"Why are we at a mall? The toy store has the new Star Wars game, Lucas, the new Star Wars Game!" Jesse said, his eyes flickered with joy.

"You need a suit," Lucas said.

"But, I am five years old, aren't I cute enough?" Jesse asked. Lucas sighed. This was going nowhere.

"Yes, but, you need a suit," Lucas said.

"No," Jesse whined. He kicked his feet in anger. Lucas glared.

"Jesse, stop that! Do you need a time out?" Lucas asked in a strict tone. Jesse stifled a laugh.

"No," he answered in between the giggles.

"Fine, if you don't believe me, you have to sit here for five minutes," Lucas instructed.

"Unhuh," Jesse tested. Lucas got out of the car and opened Jesse's door. Jesse got out.

"Sit here," Lucas pointed to the hood of the car. Jesse hopped up. "Don't even think about getting up.

"You're serious?"

"Dead serious," Lucas said. Jesse began to cry.

"You're mean! Mommy never does this to me!" Jesse screamed. Lucas gasped. What?!

"You tested me," Lucas defended.

"I'm only five years old!" Jesse screamed. People's accusing eyes stares at them. Lucas turned red. How do I make this stop?

"Jesse, please, sit there and stop yelling," Lucas said feeling powerless. Jesse sobbed harder. Lucas pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, Luke," Brooke answered.

"Hey, can you come to the mall?" Lucas asked quickly.

"Why?" Brooke questioned.

"Jesse won't stop crying," Lucas said. Silence. "Hello?" No one was there.

"I want my mommy!" Jesse whined. Lucas walked towards the weeping boy. "Go away!" he yelled.

"Jesse," Lucas snapped. A van pulled up to them. "Wow, that was fast," Lucas said as Brooke emerged.

"Jeez, Lucas, I asked you to buy him a suit," Brooke said as she rushed to her son.

"Mommy!" Jesse said as Brooke embraced him. she kissed his forehead.

"Shhh...Mommy's here," Brooke said trying to calm him down. "We'll meet you at the house," Brooke said as she glanced at Lucas. She waited for Lucas to leave before she asked, "What happened?"

"He put me in time out!" Jesse answered. He stayed in his mother's arms.

"Why?" Brooke asked. Jesse didn't answer. "Sweetie, why did he put you in time out?"

"'Cause I tested him," Jesse said.

"Did he warn you?" Jesse nodded. "Well then, you deserved time out."

"I know," Jesse answered softly. Brooke looked at him hard.

"What was the real issue, Hun?" Brooke asked. Jesse didn't look at her.

"The stupid baby!" Jesse answered after minutes of silence. Brooke offered a smile.

"The baby is not stupid. Jesse, why do you despise the baby?" Brooke inquired.

"Despise?"

"Despise means to hate," Brooke said.

"Oh, you are gonna think this is stupid," Jesse said. Brooke cupped his face in her hands.

"Sweetie, tell mommy," Brooke said. Jesse sighed.

"I like being the baby. I like being your baby. I like protecting you, not Lucas. I was the man of the house. That baby is gonna have more love!" Jesse yelled. Brooke felt her eyes water.

"How is it going to have more love?" Brooke asked. Again, Jesse ignored her. Brooke looked at him, "Hun, how is it going to have more love?"

"Because it has a daddy and a mommy. I only have you," Jesse said. Brooke hugged her son.

"Oh, hunny, mommy loves you both equally."

"But I have been with you longer," Jesse pointed out.

"Jesse, I will love you both the same. Besides, if Lucas and I get married, you will have a new daddy," Brooke said. Jesse smiled.

"Fine, but one condition," Jesse said. Brooke smiled.

"What?"

"I don't get a new mommy, ever!"

AN: AWW! I just started to cry. Wow, I need to get it together! Lol. Review.
