"So question, what are we doing out here?" Brooke asked walking towards the basketball court with Lucas.
"We are teaching you how to play basketball" Lucas laughed throwing the ball to her
"Hey! You said we were going to do something fun and exciting! I thought you meant like have sex on the court or on the swings" Brooke whined
"Not quite... Come on Cheery! You need to know this"
"Why?" Brooke asked crossing her arms and staring up at the goal.
"Because you like the only woman in the world who is married to a basketball player and doesn't know what is going on. What were you doing all those years as a cheerleader for us? I mean you had to have picked something up, right?"
"I was staring at your ass, being Cheery and fighting off Peyton... no time to learn. Now I have 2 children and make up exams to study for. Still no time to learn" Brooke whined louder so to get her point across.
"Yes but our 2 children are in the sand box playing, and your make up exams aren't until next week... so that means you have all the time in the world to spend with me"
"You are so lucky I love you Broody Scott. You just remember that when I am throwing that dumb ball at you" Brooke giggled. If whining wasn't going to work maybe violence would.
"I will, now try to make it into the hoop" Lucas coached helping her get into position.
"Fine, but if you laugh at me so help you god I will beat you with this thing"
"Ok...now shoot"
"Fine" Brooke sighed throwing the ball up into the air
"That was, uh... Ok truthfully... I didn't think anyone could be worse than Haley was... but I was wrong. At least we know where you stand now" Lucas laughed as the ball flew in the wrong direction
"Bite Me," Brooke giggled giving up on the ball and turning her attention towards Lucas
"Gladly" Lucas smiled grabbing her around the neck kissing her
2 weeks had passed since the whole Victor/Karen Drama. Brooke was thankful that it was over but it had put her so far behind in everything else that it wasn't even funny. She still had to take 2 midterms, which she hadn't even started studying for. The house was a wreck with her father staying there, plus her mother was coming to get him, which was going to be even worse since she was a total neat freak. Then there was Lucas and his game schedule was getting crazier and crazier by the week. She could tell he felt guilty because he was spending as much time with her and the kids as possible doing the nicest things that he wouldn't usually do, AKA trying to teach her to play basketball.
"Ok, I have a better idea... why don't we forget this whole basketball thingy and go home and rest... considering you do have a game tonight"
"Rest or "rest"" Lucas asked
"That is totally up to you Broody... but you probably do need to do a little bit of the first one if you are going to become pro and buy me a beach house" Brooke giggled
"Why do you need a beach house?"
"So I can take my boyfriend up there on the weekends, but don't worry you can take whoever your girlfriend is that week up there too..."
"I see, ok then if you say so... Lets go get the monsters from the sandbox" Lucas said pointing to Austin who was putting sand in Emma's hair
"Cheery and Broody Jr! Come on, lets go home and torture grandpa one last time because he leaves"
"You are so evil" Lucas laughed putting his arm around Brooke as they walked towards the sandbox
"I know, isn't it great?"
Once they got home Brooke took Emma and Austin into the back yard so Lucas could relax and watch TV. He wasn't really in the mood though... they day of a game he was always too jumpy to sit still. He needed to be doing something, anything. He decided to call Haley and check up on her since he hadn't talked to her since the "wedding". There had to be something interesting happening back home... something interesting that didn't involve him and Brooke at least.
"Hello?" Haley asked picking up the phone
"Hey..."
"Luke! God I thought you were dead or something!" Haley shrieked
"Not quite... How's life"
"The usual, Nathan is working... Amber and I are stuck at home alone all day. I swear to god Lucas, I love that child but I can't take it! She is wild; I think she is Brooke's child! She won't wear her clothes and she is into everything! Then there is the fact that Nathan wants a boy... I tried to tell him that we barely have the money for Amber but no... he wants a boy like Lucas. Damn it Luke why did you and Brooke have to go off and have Austin?" Haley yelled. She was defiantly very hormonal.
"Haley, are you pregnant?"
"Of course I am! Would I be this loony if I weren't?" Haley snapped
"Hales! That's great"
"Great my ass! I am going to have to get fat all over again... Do you remember how big I was with Amber? Next time this happens I am taking an Ax and cutting Nathan's"
"Woah, Hales... you're talking to a guy here, ouch" Lucas cut in.
"Right, sorry... anyway when are you coming to visit?"
"Easter?" Lucas asked. He wasn't really sure if they were or not but figured he probably shouldn't tell Haley that. She might strangle him through the phone or something.
"5 weeks away... at this rate I'll be like 500 pounds by then. I need some you and me time... wait, no I wanna go shopping with Brooke! I hate to say it but I miss her! You tell her I say hey"
"Will do, why don't you go shopping with Peyton?" Lucas asked remembering that Peyton was home again living with Jake and Jenny.
"This is all her fault. She was the one that told Nathan that it was about time for another baby. I hope Peyton gets hit by a bus" Haley snorted
"Uh huh, well tell Nathan I said hi?"
"Why? So you guys can join together against us women? No, you call him tonight and tell him yourself"
"Haley... Amber is trying to eat my shoe" Keith yelled
"Who was that?"
"Keith..." Haley whined
"Ah, Flubber himself. My mom kick him out?"
"Yup! Just like I am going to do Nathan! Look Luke, I gotta go... Amber is trying to get out the door... Tell Brooke Hey! Bye" Haley yelled slamming the phone down.
He wasn't sure if he should be happy for Haley or feel sorry for her. That 2nd baby was defiantly a lot harder than the first, just because you already had one at home that needed you almost as much. But he also knew under all of her sarcastic remarks she was happy about it and was going to do fine. He secretly hoped she had another girl though just to see the look on Nathan's face when he had 2 girls.
"Hey, I thought you were supposed to be resting" Brooke laughed sitting down on the bed beside him
"I was, I am... cant I come outside and play?" Lucas begged
"You can, but we're in now...who was on the phone?"
"Haley... she's pregnant" Lucas laughed
"Wow... poor Haley" Brooke sighed
"Why?"
"Because when I was there Amber seemed like a handful" Brooke laughed
"Yea, speaking of handfuls... where are our 2?"
"Keeping my father company while I clean up" Brooke giggled evilly
"You cleaning?"
"Desperate times call for desperate measures" Brooke sighed laying her head on Lucas's chest
"Do you even know where anything goes?" Lucas asked laughing. He couldn't remember a time once where he had ever seen Brooke come close to even almost cleaning. She was defiantly going to need some help.
"No, but I do know that Emma and Austin have way too many toys, we could sell them all and make a fortune"
"Then we could run away to Vegas and bet it all"
"Yes, but after you lost it all we would be broke! I would have to strip for money" Brooke giggled
"Could I watch for free?"
"Of course broody! You can be my pimp!"
"Nice, need help cleaning?" Lucas asked. It was something to keep him busy until he had to get ready for the game.
"Please..." Brooke begged
"You could wear one of those French maid costumes"
"Lucas Scott! I have turned you into one dirty man!" Brooke giggled
"Hints the maid costume instead of a police officer"
"Ok seriously though... cleaning. Why haven't I ever done it before?"
"Because I did it, then my mother, then Peyton..." Lucas laughed. Poor Brooke was trying her hardest to be a normal wife and mother, but under it all she was still the crazy, rich, never cleaned before in her life Brooke that he loved
"Right, this sucks. I hate this big house" Brooke whined burying her face farther into his chest
"Brooke" Normal yelled
"Oh great... I'm being summoned, I'll be back!"
"Meet me in the living room?" Lucas asked as she walked out
"If I must" she giggled as she walked down the stairs to her fathers bedroom where Emma and Austin were sitting on his bed
"There you are" Norman said out of breath
"What do you need?"
"I think visiting time is over" Norman smiled
"Why is that?"
"Austin seems to want his mother"
"Austin... what's wrong baby?" Brooke asked puling him up all the bed
"bables" Austin giggled
"What did he say?"
"He wants a bubble bath" Brooke laughed
"I wants one too" Emma giggled
"You know what mommy wants? Cake... a really big cake with lots of sugar, but I have to wait and so do you guys... ok? I have to clean"
"Why?" Emma asked totally confused
"Because apparently that's what mommies do"
"Buts you can plays with us"
"And make daddy clean?" Brooke asked
"Yeas"
"Tempting...but nope... why don't you 2 go play with Bella, Taco and Nacho... they look bored in the den all alone..."
"Oks, come on Awson" Emma giggled crawling down from the bed
"Bables" Austin giggled as he toddled after her
"Cleaning?" Norman asked just as confused as Emma
"Yes"
"Why?"
"Because mom is coming remember?" Brooke asked
"You never cleaned before..."
"Never needed too" Brooke laughed
"You don't need to now"
"This place is a wreck... I gotta meet Luke in the living room, we have a cleaning date"
"Sounds fun" Norman smiled
"It will be, you need anything?"
"No, I just want to thank you Brooke. For taking care of me, for letting me get to know my grandchildren. Their good kids"
"I know" Brooke smiled
"And Lucas... he may not be rich, or have a name that everyone in the world knows... but he's a good guy. He loves you"
"That he does" Brooke blushed
"Just ignore your mother today ok?" Norman asked
"That I can do"
Lucas walked into the living room and looked at all of Austin's boxes. There were at least 40 of then lying everywhere. He was defiantly going to be one depressed little boy after they threw them all away. Then there was all of Emma's dress up clothes. Princess dresses and genie shirts scattered from one end of the room to the other. She had enough dress up clothes to clothe a small country.
"Ok, I'm here! Lets clean" Brooke giggled as she jumped into his arms
"This is going to take forever"
"I know... that's why I brought music and drinks" Brooke said handing him a Pepsi
"Guns and Roses?"
"Close, Brittany Spears"
"God just kill me now" Lucas whined
"Whiney, whiney... It was either Brittany or Hanson"
"The dude band?" Lucas asked looking at the CD player
"Yea"
"Are they brothers or lovers?" Lucas asked. He had never really understood Brooke's teenybopper tastes in music. He was more of a U2, Journey kinda person.
"Both most likely" Brooke giggled
"Ewe"
"I know! That's why I brought Brittany... ok so what do we do first?"
"The boxes" Lucas sighed pointing to the floor
"You know we are probably scaring Austin for life"
"Better than having him become some queer box boy"
"What the hell is that?" Brooke giggled putting the CD into the player
"I don't know... I couldn't think of anything" Lucas laughed
"I think we have ADD or something..."
"Me too, ok seriously... cleaning" Lucas said getting serious again
"Cleaning..." Brooke sighed
"This kinda sucks"
"Not anywhere close to being as kinky and fun as I thought it would be" Brooke complained. Cleaning defiantly sucked
"We can always just shut the living room door"
"Yea! That's what doors are for right? We wouldn't want to take away their only function" Brooke said trying to make it sound like they were helping the door by leaving it a mess
"Exactly... what about the den?"
"Its actually pretty clean if we just take the Dawson's creek DVD boxes off the floor"
"And the Kitchen?" Lucas asked
"Your mother cleaned it before she went all crazy on us"
"So see, we just cleaned..." Lucas laughed hugging Brooke
"Totally..."
"What now?"
"We could go play with Emma and Austin's toys again," Brooke giggled
"With them?"
"Yea, because if not we would be like the worst people ever"
"Very true... I am going to go get my game stuff ready and I'll meet you in Emma's room k?" Lucas asked kissing her
"Ok, I'll get the monkeys"
Brooke walked from the living room to the den to try and find Emma and Austin. Poor Bella, Taco and Nacho were lying on the floor pillows totally warn out by the time Brooke walked into the den. But there was no sign on Emma and Austin.
"Emmy, Austin... where you guys?" Brooke yelled
"We's in the kitchen" Emma yelled back
"Oh My God" Brooke screamed when she walked into the kitchen. There was flour, sugar, and Kool-aid mix from one end of the kitchen to the other and all over Emma and Austin's faces
"We make a cake" Emma giggled dumping more flour into a bowl
"I-I see that..."
"It's for you Mommy" Emma smiled. Any thought that was in Brooke's mind about yelling at Emma for making a mess was gone now. It was amazing what that smile could do.
"For me?"
"Dada" Austin giggled
"And daddy?" Brooke asked looking at the flour covered little boy
"Yea, you help us cook it?"
"I-I would love too, Al right my little cake monsters, slide over and make room for mommy" Brooke laughed sitting down in the sugar and flour
"Taste is it"
"That is... very good" Brooke lied. It tasted like feet.
"Brooke, what the hell?" Lucas laughed walking into the kitchen looking for them
"Emma and Austin decided to make mommy and daddy a cake" Brooke giggled
"I see, is it any good?"
"We should defiantly rule out a career in cooking for these too"
"Defiantly" Lucas laughed tasting a handful of what Emma had handed him
"You like is it daddy?"
"It's better than anything Mommy has ever cooked" Lucas laughed
"You did not just say that" Brooke giggled throwing flour at him
"You did not just hit me with flour! Your dead now"
"Stop" Emma cried
"What?" Brooke asked taking one last shot at Lucas
"Yous is messing up my cakes"
"Right," Lucas laughed throwing more flour at Brooke then at Emma
"Daddy" Emma giggled jumping into his arms
"Austin, you think we're crazy don't you?" Brooke asked Austin who was trying to eat his cool orange kool-aid mix
"Mama" Austin giggled
"Yea, mama, ok you win... I guess you get your bubble bath before daddy's game tonight."
"Bables"
"Bubbles... come give me a kiss" Brooke giggled pulling Austin too her
"So we might actually have to clean Cheery"
"I might take what you just said a little more seriously if you didn't look like a clown" Brooke laughed kissing Lucas's flour covered face
"Ha, Ha... Your one to talk... Your hair looks gray"
"You'll pay for that one tonight"
"Uh huh" Lucas laughed rolling his eyes kissing her again
"What bout me?" Emma giggled
"I can't even see your face" Lucas laughed kissing her on the forehead
"You know if this had happened 4 years ago I would have freaked out, I mean its nasty... Lucas I am sitting on the floor in flour with these $75 jeans"
"Guess what they say is true... kids change you" Lucas laughed hearing the doorbell
"Yes they do, at least they do most people... That would be my mother" Brooke whined
"I's gets it!"
"I'm right behind you Em, Luke... go get a shower" Brooke giggled kissing him one last time before running to catch up with Emma
Brooke walked towards the front door following a trail of tiny flour footprints as she walked, and leaving a set of her own. All her hard work and hopes of showing her mother how clean her house could be were of course gone now, but she could at least try to get her mom and dad for watch Emma and Austin for about 10 minutes while she got a shower with Lucas.
"Mommy! It's is is the weird grandma lady" Emma screamed
"You can let her in"
"What on earth child! What have they done to you?" Helen cried seeing little flor covered Emma
"Mom... Hi, We were making a cake." Brooke laughed
"Brooke! You're a mess! Please don't tell me you live like this"
"Only on the weekends... I could get cleaned up if you and dad watched the kids for about 10 minutes?"
"Your father doesn't like children... maybe you should put them in a playpen or something" Helen snorted
"Dad likes these kids... Emmy, Austin go to Grandpa's room while Mommy takes a shower"
"Bables" Austin giggled
"I'll give you a bubble bath next baby... be good for Grandma"
"Brooke, but Brooke... Come back here! Don't walk away from me! I'm your mother" Helen screamed as Brooke walked upstairs to her bedroom.
Helen walked into the downstairs bedroom where Emma and Austin were sitting on the floor talking to Norman who was laid up in bed covered in white plaster casts.
"Helen! So glad to see you"
"Hello dear... have they been treating your right?" Helen smiled
"Why yes! Emma was just explaining to me the finer arts of TV's Nip Tuck" Norman laughed
"I see, I can send them out if you like while we get you ready"
"Heavens no, they are fine in here... they are keeping me company. Where is Brooke?"
"Where is Brooke always? Disobeying me. She is on the shower with that boy," Helen snorted sitting down next to Norman
"You mean her husband?"
"Well whatever... how did the Victor plan go?"
"We stopped it" Norman said getting serious
"What? Why?"
"Because you and I have made Brooke miserable for 20 years... its time that we step back and let her be happy... on her own terms"
"But, Norman" Helen complained. This was going to ruin everything she and her husband had ever worked for
"Helen... If we do anything else to her we are going to loose her forever, you may be willing to do that for a good name but I'm not... now my bag is over there"
"Fine Norman... if that's what you want...but what about our friends and relatives? What do we tell them when they ask about her at parties and holidays?" Helen cried trying to imagine the looks on her friends and families faces when she was forced to tell them the real story
"We tell them that she is happily married with 2 children, now my bag... please"
Brooke and Lucas finally got out of the shower when Lucas's alarm beeped telling him to leave for the game. They had both lost track of time and were immensely enjoying the fact that Norman and Helen were both downstairs dealing with Emma and Austin
"You're going to be late again" Brooke giggled
"They've met you, they'll understand"
"See, I'm always looking out for your social life"
"That you are, what time are you guys getting there?" Lucas asked throwing on his sweatshirt and jeans over his Duke Boxers Brooke always made him play in
"Depends on when I can get them out of the tub and get my parents out of here"
"Right, have fun..." Lucas laughed
"You suck so much right now" Brooke giggled pulling him onto the bed with her
"I know... I gotta go, Love you, Bye" Lucas smiled kissing her one last time before heading out
"Love you too" Brooke yelled after him. Now was to going to be the hard part... Getting her parents out. Her mother was probably downstairs right now talking crap about her a this very moment... now it was time for damage control.
After Brooke put on her cutest tightest shirt and shortest un-slutty skirt for Lucas's game she pranced downstairs to the bedroom where her mom and dad were arguing about something.
"Hey, sorry it took me so long... you guys ready?"
"You look, are you going out in that?"
"Yes mother, ok then well dad its been well, nice having you... come back and visit Emmy and Austin when you can drive again. They're going to miss you"
"Ah, and me them... Do you think you could bring them to our party in a few weeks? I would love to show them off to the guys at the club after I have my casts off"
"Norman! You can't be serious!"
"I wike parties" Emma giggled
"Then it's settled... that is if it is ok with you and Lucas"
"I'll talk to him and let you know"
"Great... Helen could you get my wheelchair?"
"I-I- sure"
Finally Brooke got her parents out of the house. Her mother complained for 10 minutes about Brooke not inviting her to sit down and talk, then her father complained for 20 that his wife was an idiot and she was the one who needed to learn manners, not Brooke. Then it was bath time for Emma and Austin, which went as usual, they splashed and played and then cried when it was time to get out and get ready for Lucas's game.
"But I don't wants to go" Emma whined rubbing her sleepy eyes
"We have to go cheer for daddy... he will be sad if we don't"
"He wonts know"
"Yes he will, and that's my saying" Brooke giggled slipping Austin's Carolina sweatshirt over his head
"You do my hair prettyful?"
"Yes, just like a cheerleader..."
"Ok" Emma finally agreed
"Bables" Austin giggled clapping his little hands
"No more bubbles... Mommy is all bubbled out, all the way"
"No" Austin giggled
"Right, no bubbles... come on lets dress Emmy"
After Emma was dressed and Brooke had curled her hair like a cheerleader she got them into the car without too much complaining and drove to the game. It was crowded as usual with obsessed fans and alumni who were cheering and yelling all sorts of things, unlike Brooke who wasn't even sure who they were playing tonight.
"Mrs. Scott..." Roy smiled sitting next to Brooke in the stands as he made his rounds and greeted his usual friends
"Coach, how's our boy?"
"Warmed up and ready to play, if we win tonight this will do wonders for his career" Roy smiled patting Brooke on the shoulder
"That's good to know"
"Am I making you nervous?"
"Very" Brooke laughed
"Sorry... Has Lucas been icing his shoulder?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well he hurt it the other day in practice and he was messing with it tonight" Roy said very concerned
"Really? I didn't even know he hurt it"
"Yea, he probably didn't want to worry you... well I had better get down there, Good to see you sweetie... Emma, Austin... you cheer loud for your daddy tonight"
