Title: To Be Loved 53?
Author: Christen but if you want a response back from during the week email me at these characters belong to One Tree Hill except for Margaret or any other characters you don't recognize.
Distribution: Take it, but let me know. If you have any of my other fics, go ahead.
Comments: This is my first One Tree Hill Fic but email me if have any comments please email them to me. Ok someone was a little confused and they couldn't understand how Lucas could have kids but still be in high school. Ok when Lucas, Nathan, Haley etc are in high school in the past and when they have kids that's in the future. Remember how Dan has a date of death that's not current? That's evidence that at the time that was the future. Any other questions just email me.
(To Be Loved by Curtis Stigers)
"Find
a man that can provide
Try and fill the hole inside
With a
family and a home
Tell yourself you're not alone
Keep your
memories of yourself
In a shoebox on a closet shelf"
"Nathan? When did you get her?" Lucas as he came out of the nursery and ran into Nathan.
"Last night. Do you smell something?"
"Either I'm dreaming or Margaret has cooked breakfast."
"My sister only cooks when she's upset."
"In other words this isn't a good sign?"
"I doubt it." Nathan said
Nathan said as him and Lucas headed down stairs.
"Good morning guys. I hope you're hungry. I got pancakes, eggs, toast, biscuits, hell anything you want." Margaret said.
"Um… Margaret honey there's enough food to feed a small country and theirs is only three of us here." Lucas said worried.
"Well I figured what ever we don't eat we can drop of at the food shelter on our way to school."
"Surprisingly that makes a lot of sense." Nathan said shocked.
"You guys need to choose something and eat before we're late for school." Margaret said.
"Wait just a second. What happened to you last night? I found you passed out on the nursery floor and you had broken glad around you." Luke said.
"Broken glass? Margaret what did you hurt yourself?" Nathan asked worried.
"Guys don't go crazy on me. Last night I accidentally knocked down Lucas's glass and only minor cut myself. And I only passed out because I'm pregnant and so my body is totally screwed up. But guys this really isn't a big deal." Margaret said lying.
Nathan and Lucas looked at each other.
"Are you sure that's what happened?"
"You know what guys I need to go get ready. But please eat." Margaret said heading upstairs.
"Ok there is defiantly something she's hiding." Nathan said.
"I agree with that but what do we do about it?" Lucas asked.
"Can I come in?" Cooper asked as he opened the door to Alexis's door.
"Well you're in so I guess it doesn't matter what I answer." Alexis said annoyed.
Cooper closed the door. "You know you real shouldn't talk to me like that."
"Why Uncle Cooper? Because you've been such a good uncle to me: or because you care about me? Yeah right. I see you once every year if I'm unlucky. So I don't see why I should talk to you differently than I do a stray dog."
"You talk to me better one because we're family and two because I'm older than you."
"That's crazy and you know it. Family only maters here when one of us dies. And as for you being older than me, you rarely act like it."
"Listen little girl I didn't come here so you can be a completely brat to me."
"Then why are you here Uncle Coop?"
"Because your mom needs me and unlike you I care about my family and I treat them better than dirt."
"Really? Well I don't personally fell love from you right now."
"Well you've got to give love to receive it."
"You know what Uncle Coop I'm through talking to you. Just leave." She said getting up and opening her door.
"You better be holding that door so that you let more air in here and not for me to leave because I'm not done. I came here to make one point very clear to you. You better start treating your mother better the way she deserves."
"Or what?"
"Or I will make sure you regret it."
"Oh you're got me shaking in my boots." Alexis said sarcastically.
"I should but if you don't believe me then test me and see what happens. It's about time someone put you in your place. And I'll do it for my sister."
"Fine. I got it be nice to my mom or big bad Uncle Cooper's going to kick my ass. Now leave."
"Fine but believe me Alexis. I won't take any crap from you." Cooper said leaving.
Alexis slammed the door. What right did he have to order and threaten her! He was never there for here when she needed him. He never remembered her birthday or even said he cared. Uncle Cooper only cared about Uncle Copper. She knew that but deep down she wanted her uncle to really care about her, to stick up for her like he just did for her mom but she knew no one would ever feel that way about her.
"Got time to talk?" Keith asked as he came into Dan's office.
"What you want to complain some more about how you lost Karen forever?'
Keith laughed. "I didn't lose Karen. Dan. Despite your best efforts, Karen and I are engaged."
"You're laying or you're drunk. Either way it can't be true."
"But it is. Call Karen if you don't believe me."
"Why would she agree to marry you after she found out about Tamara?"
"Oh. That must be the name of the girl you paid to say I was sleeping with her. Funny thing is Karen believes me over you any day."
"But doesn't it bother you that for two seconds she believed me over you?"
"You wish it did, Danny. But it doesn't and Karen and I are going to get married while you are alone and miserable."
"I will never let you two get married!"
"Dan you will never succeed in breaking us up so you better just give up now before you make a bigger fool out of yourself than you already have."
"Are you at least going to at like your happy to be home?" Skills asked Renee as they came in the house.
"My boyfriend is dead and I'm pregnant with his child; so excuse me if I don't feel like dancing for joy." Renee said annoyed.
"Ok I'm going to excuse the attitude because of everything you've been though once and only once so work on that ok." Skills said warningly as he picked up her bags and put them in room. He stated to leave.
"Dad? Wait please." Renee begged.
Skills stopped and turned around. "Yeah?"
"I'm sorry for acting like I'm not happy that I survived and that I still have you here."
Skills smiled. "It's ok but I'm glad to hear it because I think we're really going to need each other now."
"Because I'm pregnant? You know dad I can see you're ashamed and disappointed in me because I'm pregnant."
"Is that what you think?" Skills asked shocked.
"Of course. Ever since I woke up you haven't really been able to look me in the eyes. I know it's because you don't want me to see that you are disappointed in me." Renee said as she tears started to come down her lace.
Skills puts the bags done and went over to her. "Renee look at me. Look into my eye and listen to me. I'm not ashamed or disappointed in you. In facet I'm proud of you. You survived something horrible and lost someone you cared about and you're still strong. You found out your pregnant and you're still strong. You obviously got that from your mother, that strength because I would of crumbled by now."
"Then why wouldn't you look me in the eyes?"
"Well first I didn't want you to see how upset and scared I was. Then I was mad that you wrecked your life to go joy riding. I just figured you didn't need to see that. I'm sorry if that scared you. I didn't mean for that to happen."
Renee sighed. "Well I feel better now and I understand why you felt that way."
"Well I'm not sure if felt is the right verb. I still feel a little of both. And I'm not going to lie to you about that."
"And I don't want you to. The only way I think we've remained so close is because we've always been honest with each other and I don't want to change that."
"Me either. And you weren't complete always honest with me like about you Chad sleeping together."
"Yeah I'm sorry about that."
"I am to but I still think we can be close and maybe your child will have that."
"I just have one more question."
"Yeah?'
"Would you be ok with raising my child if I died like mom did?"
Lucas and Margaret walked into school with Nathan.
"Is it just me or is everyone starting at you guys?" Nathan asked.
"So how's married life treating you guys?" Lori asked coming up with Casey, Stella, Molly and Bevin.
"It's fine Lori thanks for asking." Margaret said a little annoyed.
"You're lucky you know many girls would love be with Lucas Scott." Stella said.
Lucas tried not to laugh. "Margaret and I need to get to our lockers so you think you girls could let us through?"
"Sure Margaret we'll talk to your later." Bevin said as they walked off.
"Oh God I hope they do not find me later." Margaret said.
Lucas laughed. "I just pray that the basketball players aren't like that at all."
"It would only be fair if they were."
"Oh thanks very much my sweet wife." Lucas said laughing.
Margaret finally found a spot in the main room where no one was. She leaned up against the wall and opened Chad's journal and started reading.
"Well today was an interesting day. My mom already had a really hard day at the clinic. This usually mean she spends the whole time she's at home lecturing us on what to do so we don't end up in a situation like the people she counsels. Jenny and I just make crakes the whole time, not that she hears us. Between her, my dad and Jake, Jenny and I would never think of ending up in one of those situations. But I know this is my mom's way of showing she care about us. She may seem to most people like she trying to smother us but Jenny, Carrie and I know that since my grandmother wasn't ever there for her, we know she wants to make sure that we never feel like she doesn't care. Believe me we'd never think that. Carrie asked me and Jenny once why Mom doesn't just lave her alone. Jenny and I told her that she shouldn't ever wish that because she's lucky that Mom cares so much and is here for us. I told her that she better not say that to our Mom or me again because she doesn't want to find out what it's like no to have Mom around. At least I know I wouldn't want to find out about it. Well my Mom is knocking on my door so I'll finish this later."
Brooke walked up to Tim who was at his locker. "Tim can we talk?" Brooke asked.
"Sure what's up?"
"I wanted to talk about what happened at my house the other day."
"Other than you getting drunk and passing out?" Tim asked smiling.
"Yeah other that. Look I know you didn't have to stay with me like you did."
"Brooke it really wasn't that big of a deal."
"Well it's just…" Brooke started to say but Theresa came up and put her arm around Tim.
"Tim it is so good to see you." Theresa said smiling at Brooke.
"You know what I'm going to go." Brooke said walking off.
"Tess what are you doing?" Ryan asked his sister as she opened her laptop.
"I'm checking my website. Isn't that obvious?" Tess said sarcastically.
"What's obvious is that you're crazy because you know dad checks where we go on the internet every night and if he realizes you were online when you were supposed to be sleeping…."
"And what Mom won't check who we call on our cell phones and be mad at your for calling Lori?"
Ryan smiled. "But the bill won't come for a month but the web history will be up right away."
"You know what shut up or I'm going to tell mom accidentally that you called Lori." Tess warned.
"Then find go ahead sign your own death certificate. Just don't say I didn't warn you."
Tess typed in her website determined to ignore her brother. She noticed she had a lot of emails about when she was to add something about the recent dead Raven's player, Chad. She had finished Whitey's dedication not too long ago and she just guessed how long Chad's would take to make, she added a note on her website dedication/memorial for Chad Scott soon to come. Once she went though all the posted comments about Chad and Whitey, she found Alexis's post. She smiled apparently Alexis did care or she wouldn't of found her website and posted on it. She went to Alexis's website. Tess wondered how many people "close" to Alexis actually ever saw this. She figured no one because Alexis didn't seem like the type to put herself out like that on purpose. Looking at Alexis's drawings and journal, she realized Alexis cared a lot more about people than she ever thought they knew about. Obviously losing her dad and being shipped off and hidden from her family really had caused her to not trust anyone in her family. Tess was starting to actually feel sorry for her. She decided she'd send Tess an email and see what happened after that. She posted "loved the site here's my cell number if you want to talk. ~Tess~" Then she closed her laptop.
"What exactly are you smiling?" Ryan asked.
"You don't want to know believe me."
"It's Alexis, isn't it?" Ryan asked annoyed.
"I told you, you don't want to know."
"Hey Lucas wait just a second." Karen said trying to catch Lucas before practice.
"Mom what are you doing here?" Lucas asked confused.
"I just want to talk to you about something."
"Let me guess this about Keith?"
Karen gave him a look. "How did you know? Did Nathan tell you?"
"No Keith asked me before he proposed to make sure I was ok with it."
"Well that was nice of him and in case you were wondering I said yes."
Lucas smiled. "Great now you'll finally have three kids: Me, Nathan and Margaret."
Karen gave him a weird looked again. "Ok I understand Margaret since you married her but how does Nathan become one of my kids?"
"Well Keith is living with him now right?"
"Right."
"Well you're marrying Keith so you'll be his aunt and step-mother in a way."
"I… I never thought about it like that."
"Hey Scott you planning on coming to practice today or not?" Whitey asked.
"Mom you ok?" Luke asked.
"Yeah go to practice. I'll be fine."
"Ok bye. Congrats and I love you." Lucas said running off.
Karen still had the idea of Nathan as her stepson stuck in her head.
"What's wrong?" Lucas asked as he came into to the kitchen where Sam, Kendall and Peyton were eating in silence.
"I don't know, dad but Mom an Aunt Kendall are mad at each other." Sam said.
"We're not mad at each other." Peyton said.
Kendall just sighed loudly. "Well I'm done so Peyton is it ok if I go?" Kendall asked annoyed.
"If Kendall gets to go so then I should get to get to too, right?" Sam asked his mom.
"Sam you go but Kendall and I need to talk to your dad." Peyton said.
"Good, dad when you're done can you come play candy land with me?" Sam asked hugging him.
"Sure but you've got to go wash your hands first." Lucas said.
"Ok but hurry." Sam said running off.
"Ok so what's going on ladies?" Luke asked sitting down at the table with them.
"Ask your wife because I have no clue." Kendall said lying.
"Peyton please tell me what's going on?"
"Well I went to talk to Kendall and she about bit my head off. She was so rude and disrespectful. And she said you wouldn't believe me. Please say you believe me."
Lucas looked at Peyton and then at Kendall. Luke sighed. "Peyton that just doesn't sound like something my sister would do. Maybe you just misunderstood her. Right Kendall?"
Kendall smiled. "Exactly. Peyton I would never purposely be rude or disrespectful to you. I'm sorry that you thought that I was." Kendall said lying.
"See Peyton it was all just a misunderstanding. Well I'm glad that's fixed. Now I'm going to see our son for a game of Candy land." Luke said leaving.
"I bet you're pretty proud of yourself, aren't you?" Peyton asked Kendall.
"Well it's always good to know I'm right."
