Ok! You guys win. I am going to do a sequel! LOL! I am looking forward to it, although I have to admit it is going to be weird for Brooke and Lucas to be 29! LOL! So Emma is going to be 13 and Austin 11 ½. I know the timeline is a little messed up and I am not quite sure how it got that way but as of right now that is how it is going to be in the sequel. Here is a short Summary of how it is going to be.
Brooke and Lucas decide that Chapel Hill isn't where they want their kids to go to middle school so they decide to move back to Tree Hill. Ok... that's all I have so far, but this story should be really good considering these are Brooke and Lucas's children! LOL!
This story will probably last maybe 5 or 6 more chapters? I am not sure how I want to resolve the whole thing yet but I will get there. Anyway... hope you like this chapter!
"Mommy? Why is you and daddy sweeping with the book on your face?" Emma asked walking into the den seeing Brooke and Lucas asleep on the couch, buried by books.
"Lucas... what time is it?" Brooke said looking over at a very well rested Emma.
Brooke and Lucas had spent the entire night studying, or at least trying too. Brooke wasn't sure where they had fallen asleep but they defiantly hadn't studied anywhere near where they needed too.
"Damn it! It's 9:15" Lucas said helping Brooke off of him
"How the hell did you forget to set the alarm?" Brooke yelled
"I didn't forget! I fell asleep... and its not like you thought about setting it either"
"Ah! We don't have time for this... You take Austin to school and I'll take Emma. She is closer... Emma go get dressed" Brooke yelled running upstairs to get dressed herself. She could not miss the exams. Not if she didn't want to have to study like hell for the rest of the semester.
"What does I wear?" Emma asked confused
"Whatever you want" Brooke yelled back
"Brooke! She can't dress herself" Lucas laughed carrying Emma into her room
"She can today... Come on Luke! Move, move, I am not flunking out of school and neither are you"
"Mommy is mad" Emma giggled as Lucas put her on her floor
"Mommy is just frustrated... Get dressed, I'll be back" Lucas said kissing her on the forehead.
"Lucas! Did you not hear me emphasize the words MOVE?" Brooke yelled running to Austin's room
"I think the whole neighborhood heard you"
"Funny... I hope you're that funny when you are cleaning toilets for money" Brooke smiled
"Brooke... calm down" Lucas laughed
"I will not take these classes over... I wont. I studied too damn hard last night to pass these things today! I will not miss them!"
"I hear you... now go" Lucas said handing her Austin's clothes
Finally at 9:40 everyone was dressed and ready to go. Including Emma... who had dressed herself. While most children would mismatch their clothes and wear 2 different shoes, not Emma. She was dressed in her shortest summer mini-skirt with her not pink tank top. Normally Brooke would have been totally fine with this; after all she had bought her the outfit. The only problem was it was 50 degrees outside.
"Emmy! Baby as hot as you look in that its too cold" Brooke cried picking the tiny little girl up
"Buts its prettyful" Emma whined pointing to her flip flops that matched her top
"I know it is baby... you know what? We don't have time for this... Just take your coat" Brooke smiled seeing how proud Emma was that she had dressed herself
"Brooke... She is going to freeze" Lucas laughed pulling Austin into his arms
"They will have the heat on... I'll just tell them that she has a cold and she can't go outside... now lets go!"
"Alright, I give up... Bye, Good luck..." Lucas said giving her a quick kiss
"You too... Oh! Don't forget we have to pick up my dad after practice" Brooke yelled as she walked out
"Brooke!" Lucas yelled back
"What?"
"Emma?" Lucas laughed pointing to Emma who was staring at herself in the mirror
"Right... Come on Emmy, bye Austin! Have a great day"
"Your mother is crazy... you ready to go?" Lucas asked Austin who was trying to eat his socks.
"Mama"
Brooke raced down the highway towards Emma's preschool. She should have known this was going to happen. Lately nothing was going her way and this just fit right in. Emma was in the backseat singing to herself. She most likely was going to throw a fit and not want to go, making Brooke that much later. It didn't matter though, she absolutely positively could not miss these exams.
"Ok baby... we're here" Brooke yelled opening the door for Emma once they reached the pre-school
"But" Emma started
"No buts today baby... we have to do this so mommy can make good grades and graduate and be out of school forever" Brooke said helping her out
"Ok" Emma smiled
"God, Lucas and I did I good job on you... I am so taking you shopping after this" Brooke laughed picking Emma up and carrying her to her classroom
"Hey Mrs. Scott, we were wondering where little Emmalyne was" Ms. Ashton smiled
"We're running really late this morning" Brooke laughed putting Emma on the floor
"That's ok... we were waiting now we can start" Ms. Ashton laughed
"Start what?" Brooke asked
"The play and mother/child day? All the mothers are here, and as you know little Emmalyne is our star of the play. I will tell you Mrs. Scott, at first we were all a little worried about her and how she would do here, but she has won us all over. Everyone loves her... And don't you forget to tell that husband of yours that tomorrow is daddy's day. Wont you come and sit down?"
"I-I have ex... " Brooke started but when she walked into the room seeing all the children with their mothers laughing and playing. If she left now she would be no better than her own mother, leaving Emma in the same position she had been left in so many times as a child. Being the only one without a parent to watch her in a play or make cookies with her.
"Pardon?" Ms. Ashton asked
"I have to go get my camera out of the car" Brooke smiled
"Ok... we'll get Emmalyne into costume" Ms. Ashton laughed jollily
"How long does this last again?" Brooke asked thinking maybe she could at least make it to one of her classes
"All day... well 10:00 until 2:00" Ms. Ashton Answered
"Of course it does... Tell Emma I'll be right back... I am going to want to take a lot of pictures of this"
Lucas finally dropped Austin off at daycare and made it to his 2nd class where the professor had just started handing out the exams. This class was of course his worst one. Geography, He had never understood the point of it. He had to admit his professor was pretty cool, having 2 daughters who were 15 and 14 and then a 10-year-old son made it so he knew all about pop culture. Especially TV shows on The WB. A lot of times even his girls (who were home schooled) would come and sit in on class. Today they were over drawing and giggling the corner desks near the back of the room. The older one was defiantly what he would call the Brooke of the family, at least from what he could tell from the way she talked and was dressed, while the younger one was more like Haley... very quiet and reserved, only talking to her sister and ignoring everyone else. But her sister was obviously more interested in the older guys of the class.
"Mr. Scott, late as usual?" The Professor laughed as Lucas rushed in and tried to get settled
"Afraid so"
"Your just in time... Caroline will you take Mr. Scott his exam?" He asked his oldest daughter
"Make her do it... I'm hurt, remember" She said pointing to her sister
"I always have to do everything!" The younger one whined ripping the exam from her dad
"Canady... do it... I am going to make you two take this exam too if you don't cooperate" He laughed
"Dad... a monkey could pass this exam!" Caroline laughed rolling her eyes.
Lucas really hoped she was telling the truth. As hard as he and Brooke had tried to study the night before it hadn't worked out as well as either of them had planned. Apparently the more you want to study the harder it is, especially when Brooke had only one thing on her mind.
"Here is your test" Canady snorted handing it to him
"Thanks" Lucas said taking the exam from her
"Your welcome, I guess" She laughed shyly.
Brooke rushed back into the building with her camera phone. She couldn't believe she was missing her exams... now she knew why people always said wait until after college to have kids, because they always come first.
"Mommy! Look!" Emma squealed pointing to her costume. The play was apparently Hansel and Gretel and Emma was Gretel. She wasn't sure how she had missed the information about the play and mother day... knowing Lucas he had read about it and forgot to tell her.
"You look very... well Gretelish" Brooke giggled
"Are yous going to stay? Or does you have to gos to school too?" Emma asked
"Do you think I would miss this?"
"No" Emma giggled as her face lit up, the look on her face was worth missing any exam for Brooke
"Of course I wouldn't baby! Now go show me what you've got" Brooke laughed giving her a quick kiss and then sitting down front row center next to two other moms.
"Now... as you know these children are 3... so it is going to take a while to get them ready... please talk among yourselves and we will be ready shortly" Ms. Ashton announced
"Did you see what that little girl who is playing Gretel was wearing when she came in? I can't believe that is the girl that beat my little Sarah out for the part... I hear her mother had her when she was only 18!" One of the mothers beside Brooke whispered to another mother. They were both maybe 30 with very motherly outfits on.
"I know! Your Sarah would have been perfect! And my little Annie could have played the witch! 18 is so young... I bet she isn't even here to watch her"
"Excuse me..." Brooke whispered
"Yes?" The brown-headed lady asked
"It was 16... she had her when she was 16" Brooke whispered
"16! That is a travesty!" The fake blonde shrieked
"I know! Horrible..." Brooke giggled
"You know that is why she is such a pretty little girl, because it is always the pretty girls who get pregnant in high school with the hot guys babies. So she has good genes... sadly she will probably end up the same way as her mother... I hear it is like a cycle" The brown-headed lady whispered
"Yes, By the way dear my name is Susan... and this is Marsha" The fake blonde smiled shaking Brooke's hand
"I'm Brooke"
"I heard that that little Emma's parents aren't even together, that he is a pimp! And she deals crack to keep the money... and its not just Emma! She has 4 more" Marsha said slyly
"Wow... that's amazing. Where did you hear that?" Brooke asked
"Well I didn't so much hear it as I did make it up... but it is probably the truth." Marsha laughed
Suddenly Brooke was having a flashback to high school when her joy in life was to make up rumors about people, Thank god she had grown out of that, unlike these desperate house wives whose joy came from trying to make their kids better than everyone else.
"Yea, See we never see her here... no one knows how that little girl gets here" Susan whispered
"Wow... her parents must really suck. Beautiful little girl though" Brooke bragged
"Cute as a button... It's a shame that her looks will be wasted in life, just like the looks I am sure her mother has... I bet she didn't even graduate high school... what do you do dear?" Susan asked
"I'm a student at Duke"
"Ah! You must be here observing for a class! They had someone in here doing that a few weeks ago! Do you do any mentoring? I would love for my Sarah to be around someone like you" Marsha screeched
"I am observing"
"My little Annie is going to go to Duke! It's a great school" Susan said proudly
"Welcome moms! This is an honor to have all of you moms here... as you know it is mommy day here at St. Timothy's and well your children have worked very hard for this... after the play we will all eat snack together and then have art! I would like to introduce our characters... Emmalyne will be our Gretel, Cooper our Hansel..."
Lucas sat staring down at his exam. It was hard... The multiple choice had been easy... then the true false had been ok. Now it was Essay time and Lucas wasn't sure how well he was going to be able to fudge these questions. Brooke had taught him the art of fudging when they had first started dating and he hadn't had time to study, and it had saved him a many of times. Especially those few months after Emma was born. But he wasn't even sure if Brooke could fudge these questions.
"Ok guys... here is the thing, I forgot we only have a 50 minute black today so pass up your tests and I will grade what you have so far and let you finish them on Wednesday. Sound good?" The Professor asked
Lucas's heart jumped hearing him say that. Now he would at least have time to study between practice and classes.
"Mr. Scott... Question" The professor yelled, as Lucas was getting ready to walk out
"Yes?"
"Do you like geography?" He asked putting all the tests into a folder
"Not really" Lucas laughed
"Good... because you suck at it... but anyway that's not what I needed to see you about"
"Ok?"
"Your on the basketball team right?" He asked getting a mysterious look on his face
"Yea"
"Well my mom Patrick wants to play at school, and well he sucks" He laughed
"I see" Lucas said, he saw where this was going
"I was wondering if well maybe you could help him? I would be willing to help your grade a little"
"Sure... One thing though, do those 2 baby-sit?" Lucas asked pointing to Caroline and Canady who were trying their hardest to listen
"Yea... Caroline mostly, she is great with kids, why?"
"Because if I am helping your son I am going to probably need someone to watch my kids" Lucas laughed
"You have kids?"
"Yea, and my wife's dad is staying with us, it's really crazy around there" Lucas said nervously running his fingers through his hair
"How old are the kids?" Caroline asked joining the conversation
"Emma is 3 and Austin is 1. Usually if you turn on Dawson's Creek then they are fine"
"I'm in" Caroline smiled
"I wanna help!" Canady whined
"Great... Give me a call and let me know about Patrick, I'm happy to help" Lucas smiled... He wasn't big on the whole tutoring thing but he would do about anything to get this grade up.
Brooke watched as Emma lit up the stage. She didn't run off shy and crying like Marsha's daughter and she didn't pick her nose the whole play like Susan's. She did of course change some of the lines so that the play would fit the Dawson's creek storyline. But Brooke had expected that.
"Mommy!" Emma yelled running into Brooke's arms after the play was finished
"Emmy! I am so proud of you! You were the best one up there!" Brooke said proudly hugging her tight and tickling her
"I know" Emma giggled
"Brooke this is my daughter Sarah, the one you would be mentoring" Marsha said walking towards Brooke with her tear stricken daughter Sarah
"And this is Annie...I would love for you to mentor her too, Hello Emma, would you go away now so I can talk to this nice lady from Duke?" Susan asked
"Huh?" Emma asked looking from Brooke to the other 2 mothers
"Dear... can you not listen? This lady doesn't want to talk to you... go away" Marsha said almost yelling
"Ywour cwrasy lady" Emma giggled hugging Brooke around the neck
"My Goodness! Get off of her! You are going to strangle the nice lady from Duke!" Susan yelled
"Marsha, Susan... I believe you have met my daughter Emma?" Brooke asked
"Your daughter? What?" Susan shrieked
"Emma, she is my daughter... can you not listen?" Brooke asked mocking Marsha
"But you go to Duke" Marsha cried
"Yes, and my pimp husband goes to Carolina... I have to say Emmy I never saw daddy as a pimp... did you?" Brooke asked
"No... but Tim is" Emma giggled
"Most defiantly... so Marsha, Susan... still want me mentoring your children?" Brooke laughed
"I, You," Marsha started
"Do you really have 4 more children" Susan asked curiously
Brooke was trying so hard not to burst out in laughter... this was just too much. These stay at home mothers who had just had their whole world rocked... what ever were they going to gossip about now?
"No... I have 1 more" Brooke laughed
"His nwame is Awson" Emma laughed shaking her head
"Hey Emmy what do you say we ditch this place and go shopping, just you and me? I really need a new sexy bra... something to"
"Wock daddy's world?" Emma asked because to her, the answer for anything having to do with Brooke and Lucas was "Rock his world"
"Exactly! Something nice for when I sell the crack"
"And coke" Emma giggled
"Now Emmy you know it is Peyton that sales the coke... I am the crack dealer"
"I-I- You, she"
"Save yourself the breath, there are no words to describe Emmy and I. Right babe?"
"Right" Emma agreed taking Brooke's hand
"You women have a nice life living off your husbands money and watching The Wiggles" Brooke smiled leaving them standing speechless behind her and Emma
"She is going to end up just like you, you know!" Marsha yelled after them
"God I hope so" Brooke yelled back
"You two aren't going to stay for snack?" Ms. Ashton asked catching them right before they walked out
"No... I think I am going to take her to the mall or something, just us"
"Right, well we will see you tomorrow... and Ms. Scott, wait... I would like to talk to you for a minute... could you sit?" Ms. Ashton asked
"Sure"
"Whatever I may have said before about how you raise your children... I take it back. That one there has more talent and sweetness in her pinky finger then any other child I have ever taught. She is going to great things, and touch a lot of lives before it's all over and it's because of you and your husband. Don't you dare let anyone tell you any differently."
Lucas walked down the long halls of the Dean Dome to practice. He really wasn't in the mood to play today, being tired and he really needed to study. Then there was the fact that as soon as practice as over it was time to go and get Brooke's father... which he was really not looking forward too at all. The thought of being called Markus for 3 weeks just wasn't that appealing. But that was just how it was.
He picked up his cell phone to try and call Brooke for the 3rd time today and there was finally an answer.
"Hello?" Brooke answered
"Hey... how were exams?"
"Yea... can we talk about later?" Brooke asked
"Brooke... what happened?" Lucas asked. He wasn't sure he really wanted to know. Knowing Brooke it probably wasn't good and she would probably have to do some major bribing to fix it.
"I didn't go to class"
"What? Why?"
"Because it's a long story and I will tell you later when little ears aren't listening... Look I gotta go... Emma and I are spending all your money" Brooke giggled
"Have fun... Pick me up at 7:00 to get your dad?" Lucas asked
"Can't we just leave him there?"
"Brooke..." Lucas laughed
"7 it is... Love ya... Tell daddy you love him Emmy"
"Love you!"
"Love you too, bye" Lucas laughed hanging up the phone
The rest of the day went on as normal for Brooke. She and Emma bought out the mall and then took Austin to get Ice Cream. Then went home to clean up aka play before it was time to go and meet Lucas at the hospital. Finally about an hour into playing movie star her cell phone beeped telling her it was time to go.
"Alright guys lets go"
"Go wheres?"
"To get your evil grandfather and bring him home"
"Which one?"
"Right, I forget that you have 2, this one is one you have only met once, my dad" Brooke laughed strapping Austin into his car seat
"Is he gay?" Emma giggled
"Yes... he loves man booty, now crawl in"
"Ohhhh" Emma said imitating Jessica Simpson
"Ohhh is right, now this man is crazy... we have to go pick up daddy first, he is going to protect us" Brooke laughed. She loved telling Emma and Austin these things... She thought it made them more smart and worldly.
"Is he wike Pacey crazy?"
"Worse... but you're a high white belt. You could take him" Brooke assured Emma
"And kick him?" Emma asked
"In the nuts" Brooke laughed. She was gaining great joy from this
"Doeses he like Joey and Pacey?"
"Worse! He likes Dawson and Jen!" Brooke said very dramatically to get Emma all hyped up
"Oh My Gwod!" Emma shrieked in her high pitch little voice
"I know! What do you think about this Austin?" Brooke asked very seriously. This was like a game for them
"No"
"I agree Yay! Look there's daddy... I don't know why he cant drive his own car but he wont" Brooke laughed
"Hey Cheery" Lucas said leaning over the seat to kiss her
"Hey Handsome..."
"Daddy! I wases a Gretel" Emma said excitedly
"Hey Emmy, Whats a Gretel?" Lucas asked reaching back to tickle her
"I don't know"
"Uh huh... Hey dude... are these girls driving your crazy" Lucas asked Austin who was grinning in the back seat at seeing Lucas
"Dada"
"Man... we have to expand your vocabulary" Lucas laughed
"So how were your exams?"
"Long... hard... pointless"
"Finally I have brainwashed all the Haleyness out of you... It took me 5 years but still!" Brooke giggled
"And your exams?" Lucas asked playing with her free hand that she wasn't driving with
"I was on my way... and Emma had some Mommy day at pre-school today and she would have been the only one there alone... Plus she was Gretel in Hansel and Gretel"
"Right, I totally forgot to tell you about that" Lucas laughed
"Oh you laugh now but you have to go tomorrow" Brooke smiled
"Fun...we're here"
"Someone just kill me now"
"Come on... You go ahead I'll get Emmy and Austin out"
"Right, no I need them for emotional support"
"Chicken"
"You did not just call me a chicken Lucas Scott!"
"Yes he did" Emma giggled
"Fine... I'll go but if you aren't up there in 10 minutes you better start looking for a new wife"
"I'll be there in 5" Lucas said kissing her
"I know"
Brooke walked down the parking lot and into the lobby leaving Lucas with a very talkative Emma and Austin.
"I'm here for Norman Davis" Brooke told the receptionist
"Yes... he is ready, you can head to his room" The lady smiled
"Thanks"
Brooke walked down the chilly hospital halls until she finally found his room but stopped when she heard voices. Her father's and a girls.
"Norman... I am just saying, if you do anything at all to hurt them I will hurt you" Brooke heard the girl say
"Karen... I know you care about Lucas and I wont hurt him" Norman replied
"I care about Brooke too, and those babies. Nick and I have to go... we are jet lagged... you remember this talk while you are in their house..." Karen said walking out
"Karen, wait... tell an old man one last thing" Norman said doing a fake cough
"Your not old... and I wouldn't call you a man either... but what?" Karen laughed
"Who is that babies father?"
"Who else... your partner in crime... the only person who might possibly be a worse father than you" Karen smiled
"Dan"
