Chapter Ten
The three were back in New York now and had just arrived at Nathan and Haley's house.
Nathan greeted them at the door.
"How'd it go? Did you find what you were looking for?"
"Maybe."
Haley called from the couch, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"I ran into Brooke." Lucas sighed as the two kids went off to find Sawyer.
"Brooke Davis? Oh my...do you have her number?" Haley seemed excited.
"Yeah, her and her two boys are going to come to the game next week." He said
Nathan looked at him, "Did she get married?"
"Almost but he took off."
Haley sighed, "Poor Brooke."

At practice the day of the game (the one Brooke would be attending) Lucas got called over by the coach.
"Mr. Scott, you've just recieved a phone call from Jenny's teacher."
Lucas made his way to the locker room phone.
WHAT COULD HAVE POSSIBLY HAPPENED? I'VE NEVER GOTTEN A PHONE CALL ABOUT HER...A COUPLE FROM PHOENIX'S PRESCHOOL (the chili and glue incident, the time he thought he was superman and tried to fly) BUT NEVER JENNY."
He picked of the phone.
"This is Lucas Scott."
"Mr. Scott, I calling to inform you that Jenny got into a fight today at school and is needed to be picked up immediatley."
"What did she get into a fight about?"
"We will talk about it when you pick her up."
He let the coach he should be back in about 45 minute and probably with the kids.
He made his was to the school and then the principal's office were both Jenny and Phoenix were sitting. Lucas knelt in front of Jenny so that they were eye to eye.
"Jenny girl, what did you do?"
The principal answered, "She gave another boy a bloody nose and a black eye."
Lucas looked to the man and said very directly, "Mr. Conetti, Unless you had a sex change and became a seven year old little girl I would like Jenny to answer."
That shut the guy up.
Lucas turned to Jenny, who started to cry.
"We were at recess and Phoenix was telling Eli and Keefe about Aunt Brooke, and Nolan and Brody. And Eli said that that meant we were getting a new mommy and new brothers. But Phoenix told him that our mommy AND daddy were on the stars because they were good people. But Keefe said that was lie and that our mom and dad probably didn't like us so they left us and are probably in urope drinkin beer and ine. So Phoenix told him he was the one lying so Keefe went and pushed Phoenix to the ground and kept saying bad thing about mommy and daddy so I punched him." She went silent and looked down.
Lucas stood up, "So what about Eli and Keefe? Are they getting sent home?"
Mr. Conetti said, "The recess supervisor didn't see Keefe or Eli do anything just Jenny punching Keefe."
"But Jenny just told you what happend..."
"ANd several witness including Eli agree with Jenny but the supervisor didn't see anything."
"So you'not going to do anything?"
"And your just going to believe what Jenny say, Mr. Scott?"
"And several other kids, out of the mouths of babes come words of truth. Why shouldn't I believe Jenny? Jenny can barely wrestle with her brother without losing, but if some one messes her brother she could do more damage than a hurricane."
"Neverthelees, she has been suspend for two days. Fighting is never right.."
"Even when they're defending their own?"
With that he picked up Jenny and took Phoenix hand and asked the secratary, "Since I'm Sawyer Scott's ride as well could you have his teacher get him ready as well"
So by the time he got to the preschool building his nephew was waiting.
In the car Jenny asked meekly, "Uncle Lucas, am I in trouble."
He turned back to her and said with all seriousness, "As the one who is raisiing you I want to say yes and that you did a very bad thing but as your "uncle" I--you promise not to tell anyone?"
She nodded.
"Then as your "uncle" and having a brother myself I say you did the right thing. But we'll talk about this later okay.
Sure enough in less the forty five minutes Lucas trudged back into practice. Nathan looked and saw his son. "What happend?"
"Jenny's been suspended. For defending her brother."
"I wonder where she got that from?" The coach said, having heard the conversation then hearding the three to the club kitchen for a snack with a confused assitant coach.
The three were back in New York now and had just arrived at Nathan and Haley's house.
