Chapter 44

"Yummy." Maureen moaned from her spot on her lawn chair, looking over the top of her sunglasses as Joanne climbed out of the pool, the water dripping off of her body, her skin glistening in the sun, "Check out that body."

Brooke's head snapped in Joanne's direction, smiling, "Gladly."

Maureen arched her eyebrow, slowly turning her head to face Brooke, "Aren't you supposed to be checking out my daughter?"

"Can't I do both?" Brooke asked almost pouting.

Maureen reached out, pushing her head, "No, Joanne is mine."

"Hey!" Brooke whined, "You and Leah are so abusive."

"You like it." Leah playfully said as she walked over to the two and straddled Brooke's waist.

"Uh, no." Maureen said pointing to the two, "Seriously, Leah…get off of her. You two are only wearing bikinis and that is just wrong to do in front of me."

Leah crossed her arms, scrunching her face into a frown, "But you and mom-"

"Are married." Maureen finished, "Plus this is our pool and our house."

"You can't use that excuse all the time." Leah said,

"So…since Haley and I are married, can we-"

"No." Maureen's head snapped in his direction pointing a finger at Tyler and Haley, who were sitting really close. Her eyes soon landed on Joanne who had a towel wrapped around her waist and was heading inside the house. She jumped up, smiling, "You know what, while I'm inside you guys can do what you want! As long as you keep an eye on Tessa and Kylie." With that said she ran into the house, sneaking up behind Joanne so she could wrap her arms around her from behind.

"Hey, baby." Joanne's smiled leaning back.

"Hey." Maureen said nuzzling her nose in Joanne's neck, "You look so sexy in a bikini. And being wet suits you as well."

Joanne lightly laughed, resting her hands on top of Maureen's, "Thanks, honeybear. You look good too."

"Let's make love." Maureen whispered nibbling her ear.

"All the kids are up and home." Joanne said, turning in Maureen's arms.

"But Pookie, I want you right now, right here." Maureen whined, pushing Joanne up against the counter, "Look how yummy you look."

"I'm happy I look so good you could eat me." Joanne smiled, pulling Maureen a little closer, "Later tonight we'll make love."

"No, right now." Maureen insisted, pleasantly sucking on her wife's neck, "Go tell the kids to go out for the day." She added undoing the towel that was wrapped around Joanne's waist, sliding her hands gently down her flat stomach, attempting to take a peak down her bikini bottoms but Joanne pulled her hands away.

"Okay." Joanne smirked, "If you can get all the kids out of the house for a few hours, we'll make love."

Maureen's face lit up, her eyes wide, "Yay!" She turned on her heels and headed back outside, where she found Leah and Haley yelling at each other.

"That was my towel!" Leah said trying to pull it out of Haley's hand.

Haley pulled back, "No it was mine. I brought it outside for me to dry off with, not your ugly self."

"Hey!" Maureen shouted, "What are you two fighting about now?"

"It's my towel!" Leah and Haley yelled at the same time.

"Actually, it's mine." Tessa said as she came in between the two of them and pulled the towel as hard as she could, causing her two older sisters to lose balance and fall in the pool. Tessa simply smiled and happily dried herself off.

"Oh God!" Brooke laughed pointing at Haley and Leah who just came up for air, both angry, "That was so awesome!"

Tyler nodded, "Just the way Tessa came out of nowhere and boom! They're in the pool!"

"It's not funny!" Leah stated,

"What's going on out here?" Joanne asked. She could hear all the shouting from inside the house.

"Grandma, they're too loud." Kylie pouted, raising her arms in the air so Joanne could pick her up, and luckily Joanne got the hint and hoisted her so she rested on her hip.

"I know sweetie." Joanne agreed, walking over to stand next to Maureen.

"Mama, Tessa pushed us into the pool." Haley complained.

"If you would have given me my towel none of this would have happened." Leah said.

"You two fight too much." Maureen said shaking her head,

"Yeah, maybe a day out with each other will bring you two closer." Joanne said, "Actually why don't all of you go out for dinner or something?"

"Can we!?" Tessa asked,

"That sounds fun." Brooke shrugged.

"Not with her." Leah and Haley said pointing at each other.

"Yes." Joanne said in the kind of tone that left no room for arguing.

Sure enough an hour later, Joanne had managed to get all the kids out of the house.

"You impress me, Joanne." Maureen grinned pulling Joanne close, "Those kids listen to you like you're their queen or something."

"Except Tessa." Joanne smirked, wrapping her arms around Maureen's waist, "She is practically your puppet."

Maureen laughed, "As along as our kids listen to us I guess."

On the way into the City, which was where the kids were going for the rest of the day and night, Haley was fiddling with the radio, while Leah yelled at her from the backseat.

"Haley, just pick a stupid station and leave it."

Haley turned in her seat, smirking, "When you sit in the passenger seat, you can play with the radio. Are you sitting in the passenger seat?"

Leah rolled her eyes, crossing her arms, "No."

"Then shut up." Haley stated turning back around.

"You two fight over the stupidest things." Brooke mumbled, shaking her head, turning to look out the window.

"I like that song!" Leah shouted, when she heard a good song on the radio, but Haley quickly changed it, "You bitch!"

"Hey bitch, you're not allowed to swear." Tessa said from the seat behind Leah and Brooke.

Kylie gasped, covering her mouth, "Tessa you swore."

"Everyone just…be quiet!" Tyler finally yelled, turning the radio off, having enough of all this bickering, "If anyone of you speaks again I'm going to turn this car around!"

Everyone went silent, startled by the sudden out burst.

"Thank you." Tyler breathed his hands relaxing on the steering wheel.

A good two soundless minutes went by, no one speaking, until Brooke just had to say something.

"Uh dude, can you put the radio back on or something, this silence is killing me?"

Tyler sighed, but complied. He sent a quick glance towards Haley, "It stays on this station. I can't handle anymore fighting between you and Leah."

Haley simply shrugged and looked out the window, and the rest of the car ride was happily peaceful.

After walking around New York, and visiting the boho's, the six of them went out for dinner. They were actually having a nice dinner, until a few girls walked in the restaurant

"Oh great…" Haley huffed, rolling her eyes, "Out of all the places in NYC, the snobbiest people have to come here?"

Brooke turned to look, "Who are they?"

"They went to my high school. They were a year younger than me, but when they found out I had a kid at age fourteen all they did was make fun of me. All I have to say is thank God I'm out of high school. I wish I didn't stay that extra year."

"It couldn't have been that bad." Leah said,

"Like you'd know, you weren't there." Haley shot back.

"Whatever." Leah mumbled and began eating her food.

Sure enough, throughout dinner, the girls who had entered the restaurant, known as the "Snobby girls" sat close to Haley and the kids, and they would loudly blurt out offensive comments.

"What's bastard mean?" Kylie innocently asked, hearing the word come from one of their mouths.

"Don't listen to them." Tyler said, "They're rude little girls, who shouldn't be taking."

"I think she's having another baby…" One of the girls laughed.

"All right that's it!" Leah said standing from her seat, "Haley I can't believe you're just taking all this in! That's not like you. Do something!"

"What would you like me to do? There's three of them…one of me." Haley stated, "Trust me I would have gone over there all ready if I was as brave as Mom."

"Well then…" Leah trailed, and began to walk over towards the girls.

"Leah!?" Brooke shouted, "Where are you going?"

Leah marched over to their table, crossing her arms with a raised eyebrow, "Do you have something to say to our actual faces?"

One of the girls stood up, 'the leader' getting in Leah's face, "Yeah, your sister is a slut, and the rest of your family are all dykes."

With out warning, Leah threw a punch.

"She didn't!" Brooke gasped with a bright grin.

"She did!" Tyler nodded.

As Leah fought the one girl, another girl was about to jump in, but Haley was quickly over there, defending Leah and her family.

"I am so turned on right now!" Brooke cheered, "Pull her hair, Leah!"

"Stuff her face with food, Haley." Tyler clapped.

Of course, the third girl had to jump in and try and help her friends out, but before she could little Tessa ran over and jumped on her back, helping her sisters out. Inevitably they were all kicked out of the restaurant and were asked to never return, and so they headed back home.

"Grandma!?" Kylie cried out as she entered the house, tears in her eyes, very upset about what had happened.

"You guys are home already?" Joanne asked coming out from the master bedroom in only her robe, getting clobbered by Kylie. "What's wrong, sweetie?"

"They were fighting?" Kylie sobbed, "It's not very nice."

Joanne huffed, coming down the stairs as everyone else piled into the house, "Leah and Haley are still fighting."

"Not each other." Brooke proudly said, "Other bitches! Who were ripping on Haley, and then all of you, so Leah took a stand and then Haley jumped in to help, and then Tessa jumped in!"

"You all got into a fight?" Joanne asked with wide eyes, "Great, I'm dealing with three more Maureen's."

"They fought!?" Maureen proudly asked as she ran down the stairs in her robe, picking Tessa up. She eyed Leah and Haley who had some small bruises and cuts, tears of joy in her eyes, "For defending your family?"

"She's my sister." Leah shrugged like it was nothing, "No one is allowed to make fun of her except me."

"Me too." Haley said.

"Me three!" Tessa smiled raising her hand.

Maureen pulled all three of them into a hug, "I've never been so proud."

"Maureen, don't encourage them." Joanne said, "I don't care who or what you're defending, you do not use violence!"

"But Leah is so sexy when she fights…" Brooke dreamily replied, earning a glare from Joanne, "All right, I'll take my day dream elsewhere."

"I'll join you." Leah smiled, following Brooke downstairs.

"I'm going to go wash up." Haley said, reaching out to grab a disappointed Kylie, "And calm Kylie down." She added and climbed the stairs, with Tyler following behind.

"And I am going to go get Tessa some ice cream." Maureen said walking towards the kitchen.

"Don't you dare reward her, Maureen!" Joanne said, running after the two.
