I know it's been like forever but here's an update. It was all done just sitting on my computer but I was just too lazy to update it. Please forgive me! Well here it is...Hope it was worth the wait...nothing really happens in this chapter but i'll tell you why at the end!
"God Brooke that was amazing." They all crashed at various points in the café.
"Who knew that many people were interested in clothes?" Brooke leaned her head on the counter.
"I say it was a success." Peyton laid down in a booth across from Brooke.
"I would have to agree." Lucas collapsed on the floor.
"I second that!" Haley said springing up with a sudden surge of energy, "Well I got to get home."
"A little love sick are we?" Brooke raised her eyebrows in her all-knowing way.
"Well I have to get back to Jake too." Peyton said struggling to get up from the booth.
"We're getting mighty big aren't we Blondie." Brooke stretched as she began her clean up. There wasn't much to clean up after the day but she wanted to keep it nice for Karen and Deb the next day.
"Yeah and I still have four months." Peyton hoisted herself out of the booth and grabbed her bag, "You were never this big."
"Ah, remember my friend I never had twins." Brooke hugged her friends good bye, "Trust me child birth is the worst."
"And you did it twice." Haley laughed.
"And never again." Brooke shut the door behind them and made her way back to where Lucas was on the floor, "Shall I just leave you here?"
"Can I have a pillow and blanket?" Lucas didn't even open his eyes to look at her.
"Do I look like your maid?" Brooke placed her hands on her hips.
"What happens if I say yes?" Lucas slid his hands under his head as a makeshift pillow.
"Do I really have to say it?" Brooke tapped her foot.
"Nope." Lucas sat up really quickly taking Brooke by surprise. He pulled her down on the floor with him and used her as a pillow leaning comfortable on her breasts.
"Lucas Scott, what are you doing?" Brooke giggled and squirmed out of his reach, "I have to go get the kids up or they'll never sleep tonight."
"Oh, be the responsible one." Lucas repositioned himself to get comfortable on the hard floor.
"Well one of has to be." Brooke sauntered behind the counter where the kids were sleeping in the crib that Karen had put back there for Jenny prior to Braden and Bella.
"Right kick me when I'm exhausted." Lucas turned over to the other side to watch Brooke at work.
"You're exhausted! What did you do all day?" Brooke lifted a half asleep Bella into her arms. Braden had always kept to himself in his waking minutes not wanting to bother with anyone. You jus had to keep an eye on him or he would drift back to sleep without a moments notice.
"I lifted your boxes and put together the racks," Lucas thought back to his day," And then I even smiled at some girls."
"Oh, my poor baby." Brooke cooed.
"I know right." Lucas propped himself up on his elbow.
"I was talking to the sleepy head over here." Brooke, with her free hand, lifted Braden out of the crib.
"I feel the love." Lucas gave up and decided he was not going to get the love and compassion he wanted.
"It's been spread too thin." Brooke handed Braden off to Lucas. He had complained about lifting all day so it was only fair that Lucas got the heavy and more antsy child.
"Maybe we should get rid of the boogers." Lucas threw Braden over his shoulder instantly waking the boy up.
"Should we just dump them right here?" Brooke pretended to drop Bella from her arms causing an eruption of giggles.
"Nah, you got to put them in the garbage can." Lucas opened the can and held Braden by the ankles.
"Dadda! Nowa!" Braden squealed trying to squirm back into Lucas' arms.
"No?" Lucas looked over at Brooke.
"Nah," She shook her head, "Who would we train to be our slaves?"
"True." Lucas agreed, swinging Braden back over his shoulder and let the garbage can slam shut, "Ew, someone's stinky."
"I think it's time for a B-A-T-H." Brooke grabbed her purse and the keys waiting for Lucas to follow.
"I agree." Lucas held out his arm for Brooke to link in his, "To home."
"To home." Brooke took his arm and then walked around the building like Dorothy on the yellow brick road, "I have one more thing I have to work on tonight before I'm ready to relax."
"So that means I'm giving the ba-" Lucas caught himself before he said the dreaded words. Braden was going through that 'no baths stage' and to be just like her big brother, Bella felt she had to do the same. They would scream and fight and ultimately wipe themselves out and in the end would have to take a bath.
"That's right Mr. Scott." Brooke got into the passenger seat of the car after Bella was safely strapped in her car seat, "Hurry up! I don't have all night."
"Hold your horses." Lucas said double checking Braden's car seat straps taking his sweet old time to piss off Brooke.
"The faster we get home the faster I get done. The faster I get done the faster we can," Brooke winked, "You know."
"You must think that's all I care about." Lucas hurriedly put the car in drive.
"I know you all too well for you to deny it." Brooke rubbed Lucas' thighs which made him speed down the road faster.
"I'm home!" Peyton shouted through the house. She got no response, "Hello? Anyone home?"
Peyton had noticed Jake's car in the driveway and Jenny never went anywhere unless she got to ride in a car. Even if it was to the Quick N' Fresh on the corner, she had to be driven. She was turning into a spoiled princess.
"Hello?" Peyton began turning on lights as she made her way around the house. Along her way she caught herself picking up dirty laundry that had been left all over the house, "Where are you guys?"
Peyton then heard a soft giggling coming from her bedroom that seemed to be muffled by something. She crept ever so quietly to the door turning the door knob with care. There was a faint candle light casting shadows around the room so she couldn't exactly place where Jake and Jenny were but she could hear them moving and shifting around.
"Boo!" She yelled jumping into the room scaring both Jake and Jenny.
"Surprise!" Jake recovered nudging Jenny to say the same.
"Sir-prize!" Jenny giggled hopping like a bunny over to Peyton.
"What's all this?" Peyton bent down asking Jenny.
"Daddy told me to say dat you workeded weally hard and you needed to welax." Jenny looked over to Jake for approval.
"Good job." Jake pushed Jenny out of the room, "Go in your room for you're surprise."
Jenny was gone in a stumbling run down the hallway.
"You bribed her?" Peyton said in between kisses.
"Wasn't it worth it?" Jake asked dragging Peyton over to the bed.
"Nope, unless there's food in here." Peyton looked around rubbing her grumbling stomach. She'd barely eaten all day trying to satisfy all of Brooke's customers. The turn out reminded her of the very first open mike night at the café.
"I thought you'd be a little hungry." Jake pulled a tray from behind a mountain of pillows.
"You are my god Jake Jagielski!" Peyton began picking at the many assortments of food. He had prepared a platter of pickles with a mayonnaise dip. Pudding with hot sauce and a sandwich with turkey lettuce and honey. They had been the cravings of the month and Jake knew they were her soft spot. Jake never really understand what made a pregnant woman crave such strange things but he concluded he would never know because he could never get pregnant. It was just another one of his unsolved mysteries.
"That's not the first time I've heard that." Jake grinned widely.
"Daddy!" Jenny bounded into the room with a box in her hands, "A Cware Bwear!"
"Wow!" Jake acted surprised, "Is that the color you wanted?"
"Yes!" Jenny cried louder, "Look Mommy the pwurple one!"
"That's cool Jenny." Peyton said with a mouthful of pudding.
"Okay Jenster, go get ready for bed while Mommy eats." Jake pushed her off the bed.
"By my self?" Jenny stuck out her bottom lip in the pout they all knew too well.
"I thought you were a big girl?" Jake swung his legs over the edge, "You where Pull-Ups now and eat at the grown-up table. All big girl qualities right Peyt?"
"Sounds like it to me." Peyton agreed wiping her mouth with a napkin that had been nicely folded next to her food.
"I'ms not a big gurl. I'm a baby, wike Bella!" Jenny reached up for Jake to lift her into his arms.
"Oh your good." Jake laughed willingly taking her up into his arms.
"Dat's whys I'm your baby." Jenny smiled a toothy smile that she inherited from Jake. The manipulating and conniving could only have come from Nikki.
"What if I don't want you anymore?" Jake kidded taking her to her room.
"Too bads. You're stucked with me." Jenny wiggled out of Jake's arms and open the drawer where her pajamas were kept. She proceeded with undressing and redressing herself all by herself.
"And you needed me here?" Jake lifted her and placed her in her Care Bear bed.
"I wove you Daddy!" Jenny gripped his neck before finally letting him leave her to sleep, "Tells Mommy too."
"Don't worry princess I will." Jake said flicking the light switch off, "We love you too."
