Chapter 3! OK, I have decided that I am going to wait on the whole baby thing. The votes were REALLY tight and I'm not even sure who won but I was thinking about it and before I add the drama of a baby and stuff I need to build up the other characters storylines. There is a chance that maybe near the end of the story Brooke may get pregnant but I'll just have to see. I would have to make them go through fertility treatments and all that good stuff since she cant get pregnant without it and I am just not sure the story needs that right now.
Also warning… Looks like I am going to be having ankle surgery at some point soon and I have NO idea when… LOL so there may be a 2-week period where I cant write. But as always I will give you guys warning!
Anyway! On a more Cheery note! Thank you guys SOOO much for all the great reviews! I really appreciate it! SOOOO MUCH! Thank you again! Also…. Remember if you have any idea's leave them in your review!
"Maddie, what are you doing?" Brooke asked peaking over at tiny Madison sitting at her make-up desk
"Nothing… go to sleep mommy. I love you" Maddie whispered
"Nothing huh… so if I open my eyes you wont be playing in my make-up?"
"Bad Bella… why did you put Mommy's make up on my face?"
"Bella did your make up huh? Hey Luke, did you hear that? Bella is a make up artist now." Brooke giggled
"Wasn't she also the one to put the Pepsi in the oven?" Lucas yawned
"No, that was Nacho… It is strange how Maddie is always the one who catches them in the act isn't it?"
"Ok… it wasn't Bella" Madison confessed knowing that that angle wasn't going to work
"Oh My God! I was just so sure it was! Are you sure Ladybug?" Lucas asked
"No…"
"Who was it?"
"It was Emma. She dragded me out of my bed and put it on my face!" Madison shrieked in her most dramatic voice
"She did!"
"I guess we are going to have to send her far far away to live with Grandma and Grandpa Davis" Lucas laughed
"And Austin too?" Maddie asked excitedly
"And Austin…"
"Can I have Emmy's room?"
"Sure, and all her toys" Brooke giggled
"And Barbie's?"
"Sure… Come here Miss Drama queen lie with me. Mommy is hugging the covers"
"Emma didn't do that make ups" Maddie giggled climbing into Lucas's arms
"She didn't?"
"No… It was Frosty. But he melted" Maddie giggled
"How do you come up with this stuff?"
"I'm smart!"
Brooke giggled at her Madison's big and cheery smile. To see it made it worth both her and Lucas's wild. She didn't care that she was making the whole story up to get away with doing something she knew better than do. She was just glad to have her there, to be able to make it up and she knew Lucas was too. After the pain and disappointment of fertility treatments, then having her so early and her being so sick for so long, Brooke didn't care if she killed someone as long as she was still with them. She still saw the fear in Lucas's eyes every time Maddie coughed or sneezed. The first 3 years of Maddie's life had not been easy on anyone, especially Madison.
"Of course you're smart! You got that from me" Lucas smiled kissing her on the forehead
"Mommy is smart too daddy"
"That's right, Mommy was the only one who could figure out how to work the DVD player" Brooke giggled
"Are you ever going to let me live that down?"
"No"
"Damn, its 12:30…We have to get up"
"Why…" Brooke whined hiding under the covers
"Because Austin's friends will be here in like an hour"
"I go see if my friend is here!" Maddie squealed jumping down off the bed and running out towards the front door
"Who?"
"Her imaginary friend… I think she is psychologically damaged"
"Or she is just a normal 4 year old who is lonely while her sister and brother are at school" Lucas laughed kissing Brooke
"I hate it when you're right"
"I know…" Lucas smiled kissing her again
"Hello?"
"Whitey!" Madison screamed
"Why does he always insist on coming when we are ½ naked?"
"He wants my hot body…" Brooke sighed
"Ok…Gross"
"But true"
"Maybe if we're really quiet he will think we're sleeping" Lucas whispered pulling Brooke under the covers with him
"Or we can shut the door and he can think we are, well not sleeping"
"Yea, but we've done that the past like 5 times"
"We're us… everyone in this town knows how much sex we have. My god like everyone in this town has walked in on us!" Brooke giggled
"Mommy! Whitey is here! He broughted me a present"
"What is it?"
"A silly basketball" Maddie laughed
"Figures… Ok, tell him we're coming"
While Lucas went downstairs to see what Whitey wanted Brooke headed down the hall to wake Emma and Austin up. Emma wasn't bad… she was always up when Brooke asked, no complaints. Austin was the handful. He was defiantly a boy who was in love with his sleep.
"Emmy wake up… Whitey's here with presents"
"I don't have anything to wear" Emma groaned covering her head with her pillow
"Emma… sweetie, baby. You have 3 closets and 2 dressers, plus we just went shopping like yesterday"
"Mr. Turner said if I break the dress code one more time then I am suspended and he didn't care who my mother was"
"Mr. Turner can kiss my cute ass. Wear whatever you want. If he says something to you then I will have a nice little chat with him at the PTA meeting tonight. Maybe remind him of the time he hit on me when I was 16 and Baby… its Saturday" Brooke giggled throwing a shirt at her
"Right, I knew that"
"Defiantly…"
"Will you do my eyes?" Emma asked yawning
"Don't I always… I gotta go wake your brother up. Wish me luck!"
"Luck"
"Oh Austin… my precious baby boy. Time to wake up!" Brooke giggled sarcastically. Waking Austin up had to be don't very delicately or else it could lead to some seriously bad moods for the rest of the day, especially when Lucas tried to wake him up. Brooke swore it was a Mommy thing and woke him up every morning.
"5 more minutes"
"Only if I get 5 more minutes too… slide"
"Fine… but only if you promise to actually sleep and not talk the whole 5 minutes" Austin whined sliding over so Brooke had room
"Too late…"
"Mom…" Austin signed snuggling next to Brooke
"Austin…"
"Are you doing this because I was an evil baby or something? Did I give you stretch marks? If you love me you'll let me sleep"
"You were a precious baby, and I don't have stretch marks and if you don't get up I am going to tell all your friends you still like your mommy to come and lay with you in the mornings… that's how much I love you" Brooke giggled kissing him on the forehead
"Did you even love me when you were in labor?"
"Yes… I didn't like you too much though"
"Sleep…" Austin whined
"Wake up! Don't make me sit beside Emma and Maddie at breakfast! I need my boy!"
"I hate it when you do the whole guilt trip thing on me. Its not nice mom"
"I know… but it works like a charm!" Brooke giggled
"That how you got dad?"
"Hell yea… UP, you have like 20 minutes before your little groupies get here"
"Groupies? I love you Mom… You're a good mom. If only we had another dirtbike" Austin smiled laying his head on Brooke's shoulder
"Baby… the guilt thing is a 1 way street! I am immune!"
"Is dad?" Austin laughed
"Nope… you might be able to get it out of him"
"Nice"
"I know right… god I have to go find you sister" Brooke whined
"Which one?"
"Which one is always running off?"
"Maddie"
Maddie quickly got bored with Whitey and Lucas's small talk about basketball and slowly snuck away once they were deep in conversation. She had learned once Lucas started scratching his head that meant she was in the clear to escape to another room where she could do whatever she wanted. Her new mission was to find her friend again.
"Hello… Friend lady… I have cookies for you. They are manilla" Madison squeaked down the hall as if she were calling a dog
"Hey Lula…"
"You caughted me" Maddie giggled throwing her hands up to be held
"Mommy's looking for you"
"Don't tell her you sawded me" Maddie whispered
"What's it worth to you?"
"A wot?"
"There you are baby doll" Brooke smiled carrying the phone upstairs
"I'm not baby doll… I'm Madison, remember Mommy?"
"I know honey it's a nickname! Someone's on the phone for you"
"Frosty's Mommy? Cause he melted" Madison laughed
"No… Dr. Wilson"
"No! Mommy… I don't want a ouch… Mommy please don't make me get a ouch. I be really good and sleep in my bed like a big girl" Madison cried breaking down into tears on the floor just likes she always did when she heard his name.
"Baby…don't cry! No ouches today… he just wanted to know how you were doing and if you had gained any weight"
"Has I?"
"No you tiny thing! You need to eat more… here talk" Brooke smiled handing her to phone
"Hola" Madison sighed as if it were a task to talk on the phone
"Hello Madison"
"Dr. Meanie"
"How are you feeling?" Dr. Wilson asked
"Fine… I weigh 100 pounds!" Madison lied
"Do you now?"
"Yea! More than daddy does!" Maddie squealed
"I see… Do you miss us here?"
"No… I don't have to get ouches anymore"
"That's right… well I just wanted to check in… I am going to hang up now… I'll see you in a couple of weeks for your check up, goodbye"
"Adios Dr. Quack!" Madison giggled handing the phone back to Brooke the realizing what he had said about a check up
"Emma… we have taught her too well"
"I don't like him. I don't want a check down" Maddie cried crawling into Brooke's arms and burying her face in Brooke's chest
"We know… He gives you ouches! Poor Lula" Emma said patting her little sister on the back
"Ladybug… we do need to make you gain some weight"
"Mom! Lula is perfect the way she is… aren't you Lula?"
"Yea" Maddie whimpered
"See?"
"Good lord… you 2 were a match made in heaven. Damn it! Is your brother still sleeping? Lucas Austin Scott! Wake up now or I am going to resort to violence…"
I'm up… its like a chick fest in here. Morning Madison" Austin said sleepily walking into the hall
"Dad's downstairs talking to Whitey. You might wanna go save his ass. Come on Em, I'll do your eyes before you go to Christines"
"K"
"Do my eyes too Mommy" Maddie said pulling her head out of Brooke's chest
"Ok… sit down"
Lucas listened as Whitey talked endlessly about how his team this year was terrible and they were nothing like the Scott boys. He was about ready to pull his hair out. It was the same thing every week and he was tried of it. But he couldn't say anything to Whitey… well because he was old and Basketball was all he had left in the world.
"Hey dad… Hey Whitey" Austin said still groggy
"Austin… you're getting taller every time I see you"
"That's good, dad we seriously need more guys in this family. Its like a chick fest up there… all the make-up and hugging" Austin laughed leaning against Lucas for support
"Coming from my son who still has his mommy wake him up every morning?"
"Dad! I'm 10… I didn't say I don't need mom"
"I know… sorry, I couldn't resist" Lucas laughed
"It gives me joy to see you to together like this. I better be going… I'll talk to you next week Scott"
"Bye Whitey"
"Dad… he is like the walking hallmark card" Austin said once Whitey was gone
"Its better than what he use to be… Doorbell"
"I'll get it!"
"Emma!" Lucas yelled up the stairs
"I'm coming!"
"This will be another 10 hours" Austin yelled from the door
"Dude… at least she gets up when we tell her too" Lucas laughed
"Dad! Your not supposed to take their side. We're men! We have to stick together"
"You'll learn someday… Hey Matt, Jerry, Amber"
"Hey Mr. Lucas"
"We're going to go to my room"
"Don't do anything I WOULDNT have done at that age… please"
"Ok Dad… I'm ready"
"You look pretty"
"Thank you! Lets go"
"Wouldn't you rather your mom take you? I kinda would like to eat something"
"Dad! All my friends want to meet you! They think your really hott for some reason. If you care anything about my social life you'll take me"
"God your lucky I love you as much as I do… lets go. Brooke I'll be back"
"Bye Em! Don't do anything I WOULD have done at that age… please"
"I 2nd that"
Brooke sat with Maddie on the floor of her playroom, playing doctor with her. Maddie's life goal was to be a plastic surgeon that killed the bad doctors. She was still to young to grasp that what the needles or "Ouches" as she called them were actually helping her. Now Brooke had to break the news to her that she had to have a few more tests done in a couple of weeks.
"Maddie… look at me for a second"
"Salpel"
"Time out doctor… come sit with me" Brooke smiled holding her arms out
"K" Madison giggled crawling into Brooke's lap
"You know daddy and I love you so much right?"
"Right, cause I'm the baby"
"Right, and we would NEVER do anything to hurt you, EVER" Brooke said emphasizing the words never and ever
"K"
"But sometimes we have to do things that hurt, even when we don't wont too… like child birth for example. That hurt like hell but I still did it… 3 times being the idiot I am"
"Too much sex" Madison giggled
"Yea, Maddie… we have to go back to the doctor one last time in a few weeks"
"And get a ouch?" Maddie asked with tears forming in her eyes. It was almost too much for Brooke to bare. Seeing her happy little face suddenly turn so sad and still was like a knife through her heart.
"Yea"
"Is I sick again?" Madison asked plainly
"I hope not… but we have to check and make sure that no more germs are hiding inside"
"Why are you crying mommy?"
"I'm not" Brooke smiled
"Then why are your eyes wet?"
"Because I have allergies"
"No you don't" Maddie giggled hugging Brooke tight around the neck
"How do you know?"
"Don't be sad Mommy…I'm not sick anymore remember?"
"I remember…" Brooke smiled
"You come with me?"
"Of course"
"And daddy?" Madison asked
"Yep"
"And Frosty?"
"I thought Frosty melted" Brooke laughed
"They said he'll come back to life someday… what if its then?"
"Frosty can come too… I'm going to go get the phone, you finish this whore's nose job doctor?"
"Ok… and the gwrinch can come too!" Maddie yelled after her as she ran down the hall to get the phone.
Austin, Mike, Jerry and Amber sat in his room thinking about what the best dares out be. There had already been the usual ones like eating shaving cream or mooning the neighbors but now they were starting to get hard-core. They couldn't do anything but so bad since Brooke was home, not that she would have probably cared as long as they weren't hurting anyone. Then Jerry came up with the dare that beat everyone else dares that had gone so far.
"These are so dumb! Austin your little sister would probably do these" Jerry laughed
"Probably"
"Then think of something good"
"I dare Austin to take us for a ride in his moms car" Matt smiled deviously looking out the window at Brooke's brand new convertible
"What?" Amber shrieked
"You said she let you drive it"
"Yea… on old country roads for like 5 minutes at a time" Austin said nervously
"But you know how?"
"Yea…"
"Then I dare you… you can't turn down a dare Austin. It's the rules… Unless you're a chicken" Jerry smiled
"Austin! I was kidding when I said you would never do it… Your mom is going to be so mad if you do this"
"Shut up… why are you even here?" Matt asked Amber
"Dude… she's my cousin, be nice"
"Whatever man… are you in or not?"
"Austin, think about this!" Amber said quietly
"Do you know where the keys are?"
"Yea…"
"Can you start it?" Jerry asked getting excited
"Yea…"
"Then she'll never know"
"But if she finds out I am so dead. Unlike you guys mothers mine actually trusts me" Austin said quietly. He knew if he did this Brooke was going to seriously ground him for life… then Lucas was going to finish it off.
"Even more the reason to do it! What fun is having that trust if you cant do anything to test it"
"Austin… Don't do it!" Amber cried
"I guess we could always just label him chicken in front of the class. I mean if you don't want to do it"
"Austin! This is peer pressure!"
"Its up to you Austin"
Emma, Christine, and Maggie spent the first hour Emma was there talking about non-other than Tristan instead of practicing their cheerleading. After that Emma did each of their make-up and then it was snacks. Finally it was what Maggie liked to call Friendship Q&A. The first few times they had played Maggie and Christine had been really shy about the questions they asked Emma but as they became closer the questions got more and more personal.
"So my mom said that your dad's dad is a total jerk? Is that true?" Christine asked flipping through the pages of her magazine
"Yea… I mean I have only met him a few times but my dad really has issues with him. It sucks… I can't imagine not being close with my dad"
"We cant all be you Emma"
"Is it true your sister has some kind of disease?" Maggie asked next
"Kinda… her immune system doesn't work very well so even when she gets a cold she gets really sick. But its better now we think"
"Yikes… ok did your mom really give your dad herpes?"
"NO!" Emma shrieked throwing a pillow at Christine
"Dude… I told you your mom doesn't know what she is talking about!"
"I'm tired of this… lets call Tristan" Emma giggled picking up the phone
"What… you mean like on the phone?"
"Yea… why not? I use to call boys all the time in Chapel Hill"
"You mean your parents let you call boys" Maggie asked shocked
"Yea…"
"Your dad is so hott"
"Ew!" Emma giggled
"Call him!"
"Ok…"
"Aren't you scared?" Maggie asked giggling
"Why should I be? He's just a guy. I bet I can have him eating out of the palm of hand in 3 weeks"
"Your on!"
"But he isn't aloud to talk to girls on the phone" Christine said sadly
"This town is so last century! I swear! No wonder my mom and dad had me at 16… Watch and Learn"
"She is crazy!"
"Hello… This is Ashley, Tristan's Asst. Soccer coach. I was wondering if I could talk to him and give him some information on our next game" Emma said in a very adult voice
"Why of course…. Hold on just a moment"
"Oh My God! I can't believe you just did that!"
"My old boyfriend wasn't aloud to talk to girls on the phone until he was 10 so my mom use to have to call for me…" Emma laughed
"Hello?"
"Tristan… Its Emma from school"
"Oh, Hi" Tristan said shyly
"Anyway… what are you doing tomorrow night?"
"Nothing I don't think"
"Wrong answer. Your coming out with me" Emma giggled
"I am?"
"Yep"
"My mom probably won't like that considering…" Tristan started
"Considering what?"
"Your family history"
"Just don't tell her then" Emma whispered
"Ok… I guess, we don't have wheels though"
"My mom can take us. She rocks like that"
"Ok… I'll tell my mom I have Soccer practice since you are my Asst. Coach" Tristan laughed
"We'll pick you up at 4"
"OK… Bye Emma"
"What did he say?" Maggie squealed
"What do you think?"
Lucas drove down his street passed his house for the 6th time in 10 minutes. He just wasn't in the mood to be at home. He was sure by now the boys were driving Brooke and Maddie insane but he knew as soon as he walked in the house Brooke was going to tell him about the phone call from Dr. Wilson and he really didn't want to know… any of it. He was having enough trouble dealing with the phone calls from his coach in Charlotte begging him to come back. His phone rang again, this time flashing their house number.
"Hello"
"So how many times are you going to drive by? Your making me dizzy Broody" Brooke giggled
"I'm just thinking"
"Brooding"
"Thinking" Lucas corrected
"Same thing… but avoiding me isn't going to help anything"
"I'm not avoiding you"
"Sorry… avoiding the knowledge I have of a certain phone call" Brooke sighed
"Dr. Wilson"
"Try your coach… I just hung up with him"
"Really?" Lucas asked nervously… Brooke always had a way of finding these things out before he got a chance to tell her which made them that much worse.
"Luke…"
"I'm sorry"
"You better be… Luke you have to tell me these things!" Brooke whined
"I know"
"I'm serious! I need to know when they are coming to visit! How am I supposed to get things ready?"
"What?" Lucas asked in utter shock
"Your coach dude and his wife want to come check out Tree Hill and stay with us"
"Oh right… that"
"Yea that… what did you think I was talking about?" Brooke asked
"I don't know…"
"Just get your cute ass home and deal with these boys before I kill them"
"What are they doing?" Lucas laughed feeling really relieved
"Eating us out of house and home! What else… Plus I have some damn PTA thing tonight and I have no earthly idea where our precious angel is"
"You mean Rosemary's baby?"
"Whatever… Anyway I better find her before she decides to operate on one of the dogs"
"Ok… I'm pulling in"
"Finally…"
Maddie paced in front of the side door waiting for her friend to show up. She had been ever since Brooke had left her to answer the phone but there had been no luck. Just when she was about to give up and go find Brooke to brush her hair she heard a knock on the door.
"Hello there Madison"
"Hola" Madison waved
"How are you today?"
"I have to get a ouch" Maddie sighed
"A couch?"
"A OUCH!"
"Oh… How come?"
"Because I get sick" Maddie whispered
"Is your mommy making you?"
"It makes her cwry" Maddie said quietly
"It does?"
"Yea… when she is rocking me at night she does a wot. She gets my hair wet with her twears… Do you like Frosty?" Madison asked changing the subject to her favorite cartoon character. When she had been in the hospital Frosty the Snowman had been jammed in the VCR so it was the only thing she would watch
"Who?"
"The snowman dude" Madison laughed
"Oh… yes my son loves him"
"You have a son? I want a sun but mommy said it would burn me all up"
"No… I have a son, like a little boy"
"Oh, Mommy does too" Maddie smiled
"I know"
"Madison… Madison Tallulah Scott… My little Monkey… where are you?" Brooke sang from down the hall
"That's my mommy… she is pretty"
"We've met"
"You can come in" Maddie offered
"I better not"
"That's right, you sure as hell better not… Maddie come here…Lucas!"
"That's my friend Mommy!" Maddie smiled crawling into Brooke's arms
"Baby… that's the devil"
"Brooke… I see you still have hard feelings"
"You tried to steal Lucas and my children from me… those feelings don't just go away…" Brooke said glaring at the door
"Brooke, what's…. Mom?"
