Ok this chapter is all about them starting school. It is going to deal with how hard it is being married teenagers with 2 kids in college. Sorry it is taking me so long to update, I have PT (Physical Therapy) for my messed up ankle like every other day and it is like right in the middle of the day so it messes up my writing time. Plus I am working on another fanfic right now too. It's a comedy crossover between 7th Heaven and OTH hahaha its great, but my time is split between the two. I have so many ideas for this fanfic though. For those of you that asked Yes Haley and Peyton and everyone else will be in this one... but I want to get Lucas and Brooke settled and meeting new people before I really bring them in. Hope you like this chapter! Please review and let me know what you think!

"Oh My God Lucas wake up, we over slept!" Brooke yelled looking at the clock. It was 8:45 and they both had class. This was just like something that would happen to them.

"Brooke... we couldn't have over slept... I set the alarm for 6:00."

"Yea 6:00 pm!" Brooke said hitting him in his bad shoulder.

"Ow, that would be my bad shoulder!" Lucas whined

"Stop complaining and get up!"

"I'm going grouchy..." Lucas laughed. Brooke was defiantly not a morning person.

"Not funny"

"You're the one who wanted a new nickname"

"Emma... Wake up!" Brooke yelled running down the hall to Austin's room. Austin was already awake sitting up in his crib talking baby talk to his stuffed animals.

"Hey baby boy!" Brooke cooed in baby talk, picking Austin up out of his crib.

"Are you ready to go to daycare?"

"Mommy...I don't want go to school twoday" Emma whined walking into Austin's room and grabbing tight around Brooke's legs.

"Lucas! Help me here!" Brooke yelled overwhelmed with two children needing her.

"I'm ready" Lucas said walking into the room already dressed.

"Well touch you" Brooke laughed.

"Ok Emmy come with me... lets go get you dressed" Lucas said scooping Emma up and putting her on his shoulders.

"But I sick" Emma whined as they left the room.

"Ok Austin... Lets get you ready so mommy can get ready... ok?" This was going to be the hard part. Austin was going through a phase where he hated to wear clothes. He screamed and cried whenever anyone tried to dress him. Lucas swore he got it from Brooke but according to Karen Lucas did the same thing until he was eight.

"Nooooo" Brooke heard Emma yell running down the hall.

"Emma you have to go to school today!" Lucas yelled running behind her.

Emma had liked school the first few days when she was new and got all the attention but once that ended she decided that staying home with Brooke and Lucas was much more fun. They had made the mistake of letting her stay home one day because neither of them could say no to those sweet little eyes. After that it had become a battle every morning with Emma. She screamed. They screamed. Then everyone ended up in tears. In the past 2 months she had only been to school 10 times out of the 24 days she should have been. But she was going to school today. She didn't have a choice.

This was Brooke's life now. A 2 ½ year old who was a pre school drop out, A 10 month old son who was a nudist and Lucas who was having as much trouble handling this as she was.

"Lucas... wait" Brooke yelled walking into the hall with Austin.

"Mommy" Emma cried running to Brooke.

"I give up! Lucas said throwing his hands up. He couldn't do this every morning. It was hard enough sending Emma but making her go when she really didn't want too. It was almost unbearable. But now he had classes too and this couldn't happen every morning.

"Look you dress Austin... I'll deal with Emma" Brooke handed Lucas Austin and took Emma into her room.

"Hey little guy... You aren't going to throw a fit like your sister are you?" Lucas asked laying Austin down on his changing table.

"Apparently so," Lucas laughed. As soon as Lucas got Austin's gap shirt and jeans out of his dresser Austin yelled bloody murder.

"Looks like daddy is trying to dress Austin" Brooke laughed pulling Emma's shirt over her head.

"Does Awson have to go school to?" Emma whimpered.

"Yes and so do mommy and daddy" Brooke said realizing she was still in her pajamas

"But I sick" Emma said breaking into tears again.

Finally after 45 minutes everyone was ready to go, Emma still crying about school, Austin trying to take his clothes off, Lucas brooding and worrying about class and practice and Brooke who hadn't even had time for a shower.

"Alright... You take Austin... I'll take Emma" Lucas said grabbing Brooke around the waist and kissing her.

"Good luck with that one..." Brooke laughed

"Ha, ha... Have a good day, Love you"

"Yea right ... Love you too" Brooke said kissing him on the forehead.

"Alright Emma... You ready to go to McDonalds?" Lucas lied. He knew it was the only way they were ever going to get her out of the house.

"Bye Emmy... Have a good day" Brooke said kissing her on the cheek and taking Austin out to the car.

Brooke was turning into Austin's little daycare when her cell phone rang.

"Hello...Haley! God please don't ask... put it this way we are just getting out of the house. Yea... Wow... really? Standing?" Brooke tried to act interested in Haley's life but there were Telletubby episodes more interesting.

"Look... I have to go... Yea I'm at Austin's daycare... yea... Haley I don't have time to talk to an 8 month old! Bye..."

Brooke walked Austin in handing him to his sitter lady at the door.

"Thanks... Bye baby I love you" Brooke yelled running back to the car, Austin waving his little hand smiling. At least he liked school. She just hoped Lucas was having some luck with Emma.

"Emma you have to go in... I am going to be later than I already am!" Lucas pleaded with the 2 year old.

"This is no McDonalds!" Emma paid pointing her finger at Lucas.

"But it is fun like McDonalds and one of the teachers has red hair like that clown dude"

"No... I will die daddy" Emma said in her most pathetic voice

"That isn't going to work on me this time.... And no more ER for you"

"Buh daddy I have heart tack"

"No, your going to give daddy a aneurysm though ...Go in... Look there's Cooper" Lucas said pointing into the classroom.

"Mommy let me stay home," Emma said getting frustrated that her little girl charm wasn't working.

"Emma we have 2 choices, 1 you can act like a spoiled rotten brat like Jenny and make me really mad and then I am going to yell and then we are both going to cry or 2 you can go into class and I will take you to get ice cream when I get one" Lucas said in a final attempt to get her in.

"Stabaree" Emma said, one last tear running down her cheek

"Yes..."

"Ok..." Emma said walking slowly into class.

"I love you Emmy" Lucas yelled after her"

"Wove you too" Emma pouted

Brooke sped into the parking lot looking for a parking space. She had already missed her 8-10 class but she could hopefully make the next one. Having 2 children, a husband and now classes was turning out to be more than she could handle.

"Whoa! Lady watch out!" She heard a voice yell behind her.

"Sorry, I'm late and lost" Brooke said slamming her car door

"Right... first day of classes... where are you headed?" A man asked. He was tall maybe 5"11 with light brown hair and striking green eyes.

"Room C-134 or something like that, my dogs chewed up my pap... Damn it I left the dogs out!"

"Chill woman...Physiology... I'm in there too... my names Victor. Want me to walk with you? Its tricky to find." He said lowering his Tommy Sunglasses. This one obviously had some money.

"Oh My God could you? That would be like the best!" Brooke said almost hugging the guy.

"I'm Brooke by the way"

"Brooke... A beautiful name for a beautiful lady" Victor said staring into her eyes.

"Well thank you, now class, I have already missed one today" Brooke laughed calming down a little

"Well we are just going to have to keep you more on top of things aren't we?"

Lucas rushed into his 10:00 class 15 minutes late. He had already missed his literature class, which was the only one he had really been looking forward too. Now he was in Geography.

"Mr. Scott I presume?" A short, stout man with gray hair and a mustache asked as Lucas opened the door.

"Yes" Lucas said quietly. He was always shy around teachers. They held some kind of power over him.

"May I ask why you are late?"

"I um, I over slept" Lucas said taking a seat near the front of the room since it was the only one left.

"Your honest, I like that. Now lets begin... Everyone pull out a piece of notebook paper and I would like you to draw what you think North Carolina looks like."

Lucas reached into his bad and pulled out a piece of notebook paper. Only on it was a note:

Hope you have an awesome first day! We love you!

Love,

Cheery, Emma & Austin

It also had little scribbles and almost pictures that Emma and Austin had doodled on it.

"Mr. Scott is there a problem?" The professor asked seeing Lucas's smile.

"Um No sir..."

"Well then draw!" He snapped.

Brooke and Victor walked up the flight of stairs to the classroom.

"We're here" Victor said pointing to the door.

"Really Captain obvious? I never would have known!" Brooke joked

"Your funny... I didn't know they made women like that... beautiful and funny"

"I am sleep deprived and I didn't have time to get a shower this morning..." Brooke laughed finding an empty seat.

"Wow... I would have never known" Victor said smiling, finding a set beside her.

Brooke wasn't quite sure what was happening here. She defiantly wasn't flirting. At least she wasn't trying too. She was a very married woman who loved her husband more than anyone. It was just so easy to pretend that she was back in high school with out a care in the word. Her biggest worry being what shirt to wear Friday night.

"Alight students" The professor said standing up out of her chair.

"My name is Dr. Colin and we are going to have a little writing today just so I can see where everyone stands on certain issues"

"This should be interesting" Victor whispered.

"Now our topic today is High School. I would like you each to write me a sentence how your high school years were spent. Then please sign your name. I will be giving you each your syllabus Wednesday when we start the real class. You may begin now and I would like a lot of thought put into this." Dr. Colin finished.

"My high school days sucked" Victor said reaching into his bad.

"Mine weren't all that bad"

Brooke thought for a minute. How was she going to fit those years into a sentence everything that had happened? Finally she decided just to write:

My high school years were spent as a preppy cheerleading captain who partied too much and didn't study enough.

-Brooke Scott

She didn't like her sentence so much but the "Brooke Scott" at the bottom made the whole thing look good. It had a nice ring to it. Brooke Scott. The day after they had gotten home she written Brooke Scott all over a piece of paper just to see how it felt.

"What was fast... what does yours say?" Victor asked trying to catch a glimpse of her paper.

"It says that I was a drug dealer who got involved with the mafia and is now in the witness protection program"

"Interesting." Victor said smiling his flirty smile

"What about yours?" Brooke asked as he handed her his paper.

I spent 4 years of my life pining over a girl who turned out to be in love with my father, they are now married and she is my stepmother.

-Victor Michaels III

"Wow... that sucks, I thought my high school years were bad" Brooke laughed

"Its not funny! I think I loved her"

"Right..." Brooke said taking her paper to the front, Victor following her.

"Alright... Thank you Ms. Scott, Mr. Michaels... You may go now"

"Scott huh?" Victor laughed.

Brooke wasn't listening. She was just ready to call Lucas and see how he was doing so far. She picked up her purple cell phone and pressed 1.

"Hey Broody, It's me! Just wanted to know how class was... Call me when you get out... On and Luke, Change your voice mail thingy"

"Broody? He your boyfriend?" Victor asked leaning down to tie his shoe.

"No he" But he cut her off.

"Good to know... Look Brooke... I have to go...I will see you Wednesday. Don't over sleep, I would hate not see you"

"Bu" Brooke started again but didn't get a chance to finish. She wasn't sure if it was really worth explaining everything to this guy.

Lucas walked down the hall as he dialed Brooke's number only to get her voicemail.

"You've reached Brooke Scott! Isn't that the coolest name ever? Anyway leave me a message and I'' get back to you, maybe"

"Hey Cheery, That is the coolest name ever I do have to agree, Anyway I got your message, call me, love you!" Lucas said hanging up. Next he had some sort of math class he didn't even want to think about. Then he had a break until practice. This was going to be a long day.

"Lucas!"

Lucas turned around to see Jeff walking up with a blonde girl.

"Hey man"

"Hey! This is my Fiancé Linda... remember I wan telling you about her" Jeff said proudly showing her off.

"Yea... Hi, I'm Lucas." Lucas said shaking her hand.

"Well Linda doesn't know any girls here so I was thinking maybe you could introduce her to Brooke?" Jeff asked with a pleading look in his eyes.

"Yea... I know Brooke would love that too. She doesn't really know anyone either"

"Great its set then! When do you want to do it?" Jeff asked excitedly.

"How about tomorrow night at my house after practice?"

"Sounds great! Are you sure Brooke wont mind?" Linda asked not wanting to impose.

"Bring some margarita mix and I think Brooke will be just fine. I have a feeling after today she is going to need it" Lucas laughed

"Ok I have to get to class..."

Brooke drove up to Austin's daycare trying hard not to fall asleep at the wheel. Her last few classes sucked, Geography being the worst. How was she supposed to know where all the major rivers in North Carolina were? Plus she already had work that was due Wednesday.

She walked into the small daycare center to see Austin in nothing but a diaper sitting on the floor brooding.

"Ms. Scott..." One of the ladies said seeing Brooke walk in.

"Let me guess... He wouldn't keep his clothes on?" Brooke asked laughing. This was the last thing she needed.

"He is doing this at home too?"

"Yes..." Brooke said picking Austin up. He was a handful that was for sure. Nothing could ever be easy... he always made sure things were done the hard way.

"We just wanted to let you know" The lady smiled.

"Thanks... Austin... You have to keep your clothes on...Its freezing outside!" Brooke begged. Austin just giggled. Brooke got the feeling he knew what he was doing was bad but kept doing it for the attention.

"Alight... lets go get you sister"

Brooke loaded Austin in his car seat and drove to Emma's preschool listening to the spice girls the whole way there. They were Emma's new favorite singers. Even though they were so last century as Lucas had put it Emma and Austin both loved them and it kept them quiet.

"Alright lets go in and get... Austin don't take your shirt off!"

When they got to the classroom Emma was sitting in the time out corner pouting and shooting evil glares at the teacher.

"Mrs. Scott... We need to talk about Emmalyne" Ms. Ashton said walking over to Brooke.

"What did she do this time?" Brooke asked sitting down in a little chair. She had a feeling this was going to take a while.

They always seemed to put poor Emma in time out for the stupidest things. Last time Ms. Ashton had told the class that babies were a planned gift from god. Emma had proceeded to argue and tell the whole class that she had been an accident. Brooke had explained for 20 minutes about how she and Lucas had told Emma she was their surprise so that when she has older they wouldn't have to deal with all of the questions she might have if they had kept everything about how she was brought into the world a secret but Ms. Ashton didn't seem to agree.

"Well today I decided since they children had been so well behaved I would let them watch Telletubbies and"

"She called them gay?" Brooke asked already knowing the answer. Back in Tree Hill a pre schoolteacher would have found this funny but apparently not here.

"She came to he and whispered it in my ear!" Ms. Ashton said sternly.

"So you put her in time out for expressing her opinion?"

"Well her opinion was not right" Ms. Ashton complained.

"Emma unlike the rest of these sheltered brats has a mind of her own and thinks for herself with out other people forcing thoughts into her head. My husband and I would really appreciate it if you wouldn't punish her for this because this is exactly what we have taught her to do...think for her self"

"You taught her to call things gay?" Ms. Ashton asked.

"Gay could be happy... Maybe she meant they were happy" Brooke laughed motioning for Emma to come over.

"Well one more incident like this one this week and I am afraid that Emmalyne will not be able to go to the prize box this week."

"Look lady... one more incident like this where you put my sweet innocent child in time out for something this petty and my husband will be speaking to your superior." Brooke said taking Emma's hand and walking out. This day couldn't get any crazier.

Lucas packed up his practice bag and walked out to his car. He had so much work to do it wasn't even funny. Between reading syllabuses and paper work, Plus he had promised Emma ice cream. He didn't know when he was going to have time to blink. He had a feeling Brooke had things to read too. Having kids was defiantly taking its toll on both of them. Where as if they were just normal college student's things would probably be so much easier.

He listened as his cell phone played the tune from Nip Tuck.

"Hello"

"Hey Handsome" Brooke said on the other end.

"Hey... Where are you?"

"Almost home with your 2 delinquent children you?" Brooke laughed

"Getting in the car... You wanna meet for dinner?"

"Please..." Brooke begged.

"Where?"

"Emma wants McDonalds as usual"

"Ok meet you there, Bye" Lucas said hanging up.

Brooke drove into the McDonalds parking lot and parked beside Lucas

"Hey handsome... How was class?" Brooke asked grabbing Lucas around the waist.

"Interesting...Hey do you mind having company tomorrow?"

"Not if Emma will stop saying everything is gay and Austin will keep his clothes on" Brooke laughed.

"Mommy! I hungry" Emma whined struggling to get out of her new car seat. They had had to buy her a new one because she had figured the old one out.

"Alright...I'm coming"

Brooke and Lucas ate dinner with their kids and talked about their day. Brooke choosing to leave out Victor and Lucas choosing not to say how much work he really had to do. For now they just had dinner as if they were a normal family laughing and talking. Neither of them knowing that the next few weeks would change their entire lives forever.
