Heres the next chapter.
Logan Scott was someone who usually did well with problems, but when something hit home and effected directly you, it was hard to get through it. Logan had lost the feeling in his legs during a bombing when he was in Iraq and he was having a hard time dealing with it. He was in a wheel chair, and the doctors said it could be for the rest of his life. Logan was trying to be optimistic about it, but it was hard. Especially with having a 16 month old. Because of Logan's accident the family had to adjust the way they were living. The family room was turned into a room for Logan and Dani, because they had to sell the apartment. Nathan added a sliding door to the room which was next to the kitchen, for privacy. Logan was sitting in the wheel chair by the window just looking out of it when Dani came over to him. Logan looked over at the door and saw Katie. "She said she wanted her daddy." Katie told her brother. Dani climbed up on to the bed and then used it to get in Logan's lap.
"Daddy." Dani said as she kissed her fathers cheek. "granma Bwooke said I could sweep with yous." Dani told her father. Katie walked over and helped her brother get in his bed, and then put Dani up next to him. "I'll get her later." Katie said as she closed the door. Logan was ordered to go to post tramatic stress therapy by the Army, so he had been going. Natalie was also still going to therapy and it seemed to help.
About two hours later after Dani's nap all of the Scotts were in the living room. It was two weeks until Christmas, and Brooke decided she wanted everyone to do secret santa. She put everyones names in one of Nathan's hats.
"Okay, everyone will draw a name, and then you'll get a gift for that person. All the kids Josh and under, I will take to get their gifts, since obviously they dont have the money, but the rest of you, put some thought into your gifts.
"Izzy you're first. Come draw." Brooke lowered the hat so Izzy could reach. She drew her name and handed it to her mom. She had Nathan. Brooke whispered in her daughters ear. "You have daddy, dont tell anyone though." Brooke told her. Brooke cringled up the paper and put it in her pocket.
"Okay, Joshua." Brooke extended the hat towards him and he read the name Logan. Josh smiled and handed Brooke the paper.
"Katie." Katie stood up and picked a name. Brooke Katie went back and sat down. She thought about what she could get her mom.
"Nat." Natalie walked over to her mother and picked a name. Sara Natalie was happy with who she got. She liked Sara way better then Megan.
"Mads." Maddie picked her name Katie "Okay cool. I can work with this." Maddie said.
Brooke walked over to Logan and picked his name. Justin. Sara chose her name and she got Maddie.Then Brooke went to Justin. Justin got Josh.
Brooke looked at Nathan. "Your turn." Nathan got Natalie.
Brooke picked a name for herself and she got Hayley
Okay Im gonna pick for Dani. Brooke looked at it and it said Izzy. Okay, for Hayley. Brooke picked the last name and it was Dani.
"Okay guys one present for the name you got, and put thought into it. we're exchanging on Christmas eve." Brooke told them. "Josh I'll take you and the little girls shopping this week.
Everyone left the living room and went their seperate ways. Brooke took Izzy and Hayley to her room for a nap. Katie and Natalie took Dani and they went to search for their presents. Logan went back to his room and Sara went with him. Nathan took Josh out to the river court and Maddie and Justin went upstairs to their room. Maddie was looking through her bag for her birth control. "Have you seen my cell phone ?" She asked Justin. Justin helped her look through the bag and he saw her birth control pills and opened them. "Maddie, arent you supposed to follow the stickers with the days on them? It's saturday and you havent taken them since monday." He told her.
"Umm. Actually I hadnt taken them since 3 mondays ago." Maddie said as she sat down on the bed and bit her lip.
"Damnit Maddie." He said as he got off the bed and crossed his arms. "I thought we talked about waiting?" He said. "God, in the past three weeks we've had sex a lot." Justin said.
"Dont be mad okay, I know we talked about it, but I didnt think you would be mad if I did get pregnant." Maddie told him.
Justin didnt know what to do. Of course he wanted children but he was in college, and so was his wife. They couldnt even afford a kid right now. Plus he was kind of pissed that she lied to him about it.
"Do you think you could be pregnant?" Justin asked her. Maddie looked at him and nodded.
Justin sighed. "Alright. Come on." he said. "Lets go get a test." Justin told her. She grabbed her purse and they went down the stairs. Sara was walking past the stairs back into Logan's room when she saw the couple. "Hey, are you going to the store?" Sara asked them.
"Umm, yeah. Do you need us to get you something?" Maddie asked her brother's girlfriend.
"Can you grab some tampons, your mom said there should be some in the bathroom, but there was none." Maddie asked.
'Yeah. Sure. We'll be back soon." Maddie said as her and Justin left the house for the driveway.
Justin was driving and Maddie kept looking at him.
"Justin are you mad?" Maddie asked her husband. She sighed. "I know I shouldnt have lied about it, I just really wanted a baby."
Justin was silent for several minutes. "Maddie, Im not mad at you, I just wish you would have told me how you really feel, I mean I was under the impression that you were fine with waiting, I mean if I would have known, then maybe I would have changed my mind about it. It's just you really had me thinking that you were okay with waiting." He told her.
"Im sorry." She said as the tears started falling. Maddie told him. Justin parked the car. "Hey baby, dont cry. It's okay." He moved over and kissed her softly. "Come on, lets go do this." He said as they got out of the car. Justin and Maddie walked in. She grabbed two tests and a pack of tampons. Then went to the front. The check out guy looked at her. " Um isnt this kind of an oxymoron?" He asked. Justin looked the kid. "Just ring it up asshole." The guy rolled his eyes, but rung it up. The couple went to the car then drove home. Maddie and Justin went inside and Maddie sat the bag on the counter. "Forgot my purse. I'll meet you upstairs." She told Justin. Justin went upstairs and Maddie went to the car. Sara came down and saw the bag. She reached in for the tampons and saw the pregnancy tests. Oh wow. Maddie might be pregnant.. Sara thought as she took the tampons and went to the bathroom. She debated on telling Logan. When Maddie came back she grabbed the tests and went upstairs. Justin was watching tv. Maddie went into the bathroom and came back a few seconds later. She looked at the instructions. "The plus sign means pregnant, then minus sign means not pregnant." Maddie told him. Maddie went back in the bathroom and came back with the tests. "Babe, ones plus and the other is minus." Maddie told him. "Really?" Justin said. He sighed and fell back on the bed. Maddie sighed and crawled up the bed and climbed on top of him. She kissed him. "We'll find out." She said. He moved so his hands were on her hips and he kissed her back. Maddie moved her hair out of the way and he started kissing up and down her neck. Then she broke the kiss and laid her head down on the pillow. "I love you Maddie." Justin told her. "We'll be okay." He told her. "I hope so." She told him. Justin and Maddie were laying there and they both fell asleep. Izzy woke up from her nap and went to see Maddie. She saw Maddie was asleep then she saw the tests on the bed. She picked them up and went to Brooke.
"Mommy, someone ate the popcicles and left the sticks. I want a popcicle." Izzy told her mom as she handed them to her mom. Brooke looked at the tests. "Izzy babe, where did you get these?" She asked her. "Maddie's room." Brooke stood up and walked down the hall.
"Mommy, I want a popcicle." She told her mom. "Okay, give me a second." Brooke walked into Maddie's room and saw her daughter asleep with Justin.
"Madeline Karen Scott get your ass up" Brooke yelled at her daughter. Yeah, her last name was now Clarke, but Brooke still refered to her as Scott when she used her full name.
"What?" Maddie said as she woke up and rubbed her eyes. She saw her mom holding the tests. "My room now." Brooke said as she walked out of the room to the hallway.
Brooke closed the door when Maddie came in the room.
"Maddie, what the hell is this?" She asked her daughter. Maddie looked at her mom. "A pregnancy test." Maddie said.
"I know that smart ass. Why do you have them?" Brooke asked her daughter.
"Because I didnt take my birth control, and Justin and I had sex like you and dad do, you know like 5 times a day." Maddie told her mom.
"Maddie, your dad and I have sex more than 5 times a day, but anyways why did you not take your birth control?" Brooke asked her daughter.
"Because I want a baby!" Maddie said.
"Maddie, you have time for a baby later on, you have school and cheerleading. You cant do all that with a baby." Brooke said.
Maddie just looked at her mom. "I thought I could handle it." Maddie told her mom.
Brooke's expression softened. "Maddie, I'll take you to my doctor." Brooke told her. "Come on." She said.
Maddie went with Brooke to the doctor. Justin decided to stay with his wifes family. Brooke went back with her daughter when they called her name. The doctor did the ultrasound on Maddie and when the screen came up Brooke looked at it. "Maddie, you are pregnant." The doctor said. Maddie looked at her mom. "You wanted this babe." Brooke told her daughter.
The doctor took a deep breath. "Whats wrong?" Brooke asked the doctor.
"There is no heartbeat." The doctor told them. "Maddie, I'm sorry but the baby isnt alive." She said. "We need to do surgery immedietely. Brooke she needs to go to the hospital, right now." Maddie looked at her mom and she looked really scared, as did Brooke for her daughter.
"Okay lets go." Brooke said. Brooke took Maddie to the hospital and called Nathan and Justin.
There it is. Hope you like that little twist. Let me know what you think!
