Chapter Twenty-Seven: New Adjustments

"Have we figured out what we are going to do with sleeping arrangements?" Brooke asks her husband as she watches her daughter sleeping on the living room couch.

"Well I was going through our financial status and wondered if we could get an addition onto the house, but it's too much for us to handle at the moment. And with Sam going off for college in a few months I figured it would be a waste."

"So, what'd you come up with?"

"Well our garage does have an upstairs that is currently being used for storage. I figured we could hire someone to remodel it and it would be like a small studio apartment."

Brooke grins and nods her head.

"I like that idea. I'm going to wake up Aidan."

Julian smiles and nods his head.

"I'll wake up the teen."

Julian walks to the couch and pulls the pillow out from under his daughter's head.

"Wake up, sleepy!"

Sam groaned and opened her eyes.

"I've never liked you waking me up, ever."

Julian grins.

"I know that, but whenever your mother wakes you up, you end up falling asleep again."

Sam rolls her eyes and sits up on the couch and stretches her arms. Julian sits down next to his daughter.

"How was the sleep?"

"Dad, I've been sleeping on the couch for over a week and I always give the same answer. It was fine."

"You'll only have to sleep on the couch for a little longer."

"Why is that?" Sam asks with a raised eyebrow as she tries to fix her bed-head hair with her fingers.

"I'm having someone come in and fix the upstairs of the garage for you."

"Are you serious?" Sam questions with a smile.

Julian nods his head.

"I'll call someone today and see how fast they can fix it up. We'll see about putting a small bathroom as well. Think you can handle that?"

Sam nods her head with excitement.

"Aidan, sweetie, it's time to wake up," Brooke says as she rubs Aidan's back slowly getting him out of his sleep.

Aidan turns over and smiles at Brooke showing his teeth.

"Someone looks happy this morning."

"Sammy said she'd take me to school and Kelsey's coming too."

Brooke laughs. She was happy that Aidan and Sam had hit it off fairly easily and when it was time for sleeping arrangements Sam was helpful enough to give up her room.

"Well I think it's time you get dressed and teeth brushed and I'll have Sam and Kelsey stop somewhere for breakfast. How does that sound?"

Aidan smiles and nods his head.

"Thanks Brooke."

"You're welcome buddy," she says as she ruffles his hair.

Aidan hopes off of the bed and runs into the bathroom in a hurry. He really had to pee.

Brooke laughs and lies down on the bed remembering the day she brought him home.

-DG-

"It's okay Aidan. No one is going to hurt you. Come on inside. Sam is here and she really wants to meet you."

Aidan nods his head as he grasps Brooke and Julian's hands tighter. All three of them step through the thresh hold of the house and Sam stands up from the couch. Brooke and Julian let go of Aidan's hands and watches as Aidan walks up to Sam slowly who was kneeling on the floor so she was eye level with Aidan.

"Hello Aidan, I'm Sam and I hope that you'll like it here, but I want to promise you one thing."

"What?"

"No matter what, I'll be the one to protect you. I'm your big sister. That won't ever change."

Aidan nods his head and runs into Sam's arms. Sam smiles at her parents.

-DG-

"What up little brother?" Sam asks as she sees Aidan and her mom come into the kitchen.

"Hi Sammy," Aidan says with a small blush.

"I'm going to hit the bathroom and Kelsey should be here in about a half so we'll leave soon, okay?"

Aidan smiles and nods his head. Sam places a kiss on the top of his head.

"How do you think school is going to be like today?" Julian questions his son once Sam leaves the room.

Aidan had started school the day after he entered the Baker home. His first day was as normal as could be. He even made a new friend, Adam.

"School is boring, but Adam and I are going to rock the playground."

Both Brooke and Julian laugh. It didn't take long for Adam to pick up on some of Sam's language.

"Well I hope you have a great day anyway."

A knock on the door brought the conversation to a halt. Kelsey steps inside with a smile.

"Good morning everybody."

Aidan smiles and runs to Kelsey who picks him up in his arms.

"Morning Kelsey."

"Morning little man," Kelsey says as she places her girlfriend's brother back down on the ground.

"Sammy is getting ready, but I have to go get something from my room that I have to show you, stay right here," Aidan orders.

Kelsey chuckles and ruffles his hair.

"Okay, I'll stay right here."

Once Aidan leaves the room, Kelsey walks closer to the kitchen where Julian and Brooke are sitting.

"I was wondering if you two had plans tonight."

Brooke and Julian look at Kelsey in surprise.

"Why?" Brooke questions softly.

"There's something that I need to talk to you two about and I figured I would invite you two to dinner to do it."

Julian looks at Brooke and nods his head. Brooke turns to Kelsey with a smile.

"Sure, we can get Sam to watch Aidan."

Kelsey smiles and nods her head glad that Brooke and Julian agreed. The hard part was what was coming next.

"Is it something bad?" Julian asks, his curiosity getting the better of him.

"No, but it does involve your daughter. She just can't know about it."

"Then we'll keep it a secret."

"I appreciate that."
