OK so for some reason my Authors notes didn't go through last chapter! I have no idea why but lets try again LOL.
Chapter 5! YAY! These are turning out to be some really long chapters… I don't know if that is a good thing or not. Anyway… Thank you all so much for all the reviews! My dad told me today he wanted to grade this story too and I was like NOO! But it's better than him making me write about something totally boring like he makes my sister LOL. Anyway… Hope you like this Chapter! Please Review! My writing grade depends on it LOL.
"I cant believe you drove moms beautiful car into the street light" Emma giggled sitting down on the floor beside Madison
"Believe me, mom has already given me enough guilt about it"
"Sos they aren't going to sell you?" Maddie asked sounding partially worried, partially excited
"No, Lula… he wouldn't sell him. They'd just kill him and bury him in the back yard"
"Oh"
"Ok but seriously, let's deal with the real issue before mom decides she wants to talk again" Austin whined. Brooke had been through her whole life story with him twice since the accident. He knew more details about his mothers life then any boy ever needed to know.
"Austin, its 2 in the morning and Madison isn't in there asleep with them. Do you really think they want to talk right now?"
"Good point"
"Do you think they miss me?" Maddie asked in her usually concided way, cuddling up in Emma's arms
"Lots and Lots" Emma smiled shaking her head no to Austin
"And frosty?"
"And frosty" Austin laughed
"Good"
"Ok, I'm tried… lets plan!"
"What are we planering?" Maddie asked looking up at her big sister. It was hard for a 4 year old to stay in the loop with a 10 year old and a 12 year old.
"Remember your secret friend?"
"Yea..."
"She is planning to kill Frosty! And make it so we never, ever get snow!" Emma whispered in her spookiest voice. If it didn't scare Maddie then the whole plan was pointless
"Oh No! We has to tell mommy!"
"No… Lula, we cant. If mommy and daddy find out she might kill them too!"
"And we'd be orphans" Austin chimed in
"I don't want to be a birdie!" Emma cried
"Lula… orphans aren't birds"
"Oh…"
"So last night I heard dad on the phone with her and she is coming over this morning to have breakfast. He made it very clear that it was ONLY breakfast so we don't have to worry about it for so long…" Emma whispered being extra careful. Her parents had an uncanny way of hearing or finding out things they weren't supposed too.
"But if Karen does guilt the way mom does, she could be here forever"
"Dude, apparently mom has her beat there or else they wouldn't have had me"
"Very true" Austin laughed
"Just in case we might want to plan for later"
"Good idea…"
"Mine ideas are better" Maddie giggled glaring at her brother
Lucas laid in bed thinking, which wasn't easy to do with Brooke asleep on his chest. She had defiantly taken advantage of Madison not being in there. At least she was sleeping now. Lucas didn't have it that easy… he couldn't get his mother off his mind. Why had been going through his head when he invited her for breakfast?
"Stop brooding" Brooke whined hitting Lucas's chest
"I'm not brooding, and how would you know if I was?"
"You chest is going crazy… up and down, up and down. Its like the drop zone for my head"
"Its called breathing" Lucas laughed
"Heavy breathing… you don't do it when you are sleeping only when you are brooding"
"Well your heads heavy… I'm having to work double time to support it"
"Its because I have a big head… now I have to go to sleep" Brooke said giving him a quick kiss before putting her head back on his chest
"So you can bake cookies tomorrow?"
"Someone wants to sleep on the couch"
"Dude, you can't throw me on the couch when we just had sex an hour ago" Lucas laughed
"Watch me…"
"Your mean tonight"
"I know… its fun" Brooke giggled knowing she obviously wasn't going to get back to bed
"I'm sure it is… what time is it?"
"2:34"
"Wow" Lucas sighed
"So I could tell you something right now that could really make you brood"
"So could I"
"Really? You first" Brooke said sitting up so she could see his face
"Nope… you"
"Fine… Emma is having dinner with a boy tomorrow night"
"Like a date?" Lucas asked trying to sound casual but it didn't come out that way
"No… more like Emma's version of a date, with me driving her"
"She's 12" Lucas whined
"Exactly… I wasn't aloud to date until I was 16"
"What?"
"But I did it anyway because I knew it would drive my parents insane" Brooke giggled trying to calm Lucas down. She had thought about not telling him but the more she thought about it, the more she realized how hurt he would be if he didn't know.
"Your point is?"
"If we let her go on these "Dates" now… she'll get tired of them by the time she's 16"
"Am I supposed to believe that?" Lucas asked
"Yes…"
"Who's the boy?"
"Tristan" Brooke said quietly
"I don't like him"
"You don't know him"
"You don't like Oprah and you don't know her" Lucas laughed
"That's different dude"
"How?"
"It just is" Brooke giggled hitting him with her pillow
"So no matter what I say about this your still going to let her go aren't you?"
"I will consider your opinion, and then throw it out and take her yes"
"You tell me everything that happens!" Lucas said finally caving
"Everything… she's 12 Luke, if he touches her hand she is going to be excited"
"And if he gets anywhere near kissing her"
"I'll warn him that Emma's father is going to kick his ass… chill" Brooke giggled laying back down on his chest
"You do realize that Maddie is never going to school, and never meeting boys, and never dating"
"Uh huh"
"We could totally home school her" Lucas laughed
"Sure"
"We could"
"You do realize we had this same conversation about Emma, and Austin" Brooke asked. It was like a never-ending cycle.
"Well its different this time"
"Liar… go to sleep… and don't you dare give Emma any grief about this "date"
"Fine… but I still don't like it" Lucas whined running his fingers through her hair
"I know… but you didn't like her going to kindergarten, or wearing make up, or getting taller either"
"I still don't"
"Sleep"
The next morning came early. Apparently when Lucas had told Karen breakfast Karen took it literally and was there at 6:00 cooking away with Nick. Brooke and Lucas both refused to get up until at least 7:00, while Emma, Austin and Maddie stayed in Emma's room working on their "plan". When Lucas finally got up about 7:15 leaving Brooke in bed, Karen had cooked what looked like a Thanksgiving feast for breakfast, all with the help of Nick. Nick, in Lucas's opinion didn't look like Dan or Keith. His hair was jet black, he was a little shorter than Austin but defiantly rounder. Having a cook for a mother had apparently gotten to him.
"So, Nick… what sports do you like?" Lucas asked trying to make conversation with his brother.
"Well… I like video games, especially Crash Bandicoot."
"Uh huh… so how's school?"
"Mom home schools me. She says she doesn't want me in the school systems today. That they cause trouble."
"Ok then… So do you like to cook?"
"No, I hate it"
"I always did too, Mom finally gave up on me when I was 14"
"She still makes me"
"So do you have a girlfriend?"
"Are you kidding me? No offence but after what happened with you do you really think she is going to let me meet girls?"
"Good Point…"
"Morning Broody"
"Morning Cheery"
"Smells like a bakery in here… where are our loving children?"
"Passed out on Emma's floor?"
"All 3 of them?"
"Yea…"
"Creepy. Hey Nick, how's life?"
"Fine thank you"
"Ok, breakfast is almost ready… where are the children?"
"Still asleep"
"Could you wake them Lucas?"
"I kinda can't move, Brooke get up"
"No… I'm comfy! Make Bella do it"
"Don't make me do this with my hurt shoulder, I will carry you outside to that pool and dump you"
"At least that one is heated… fine… I'm up, I'll wake them"
"So that's Brooke?"
"That's Brooke…"
"Interesting"
Brooke skipped up the stairs to Emma's room. For some reason she was unusually cheery this morning. She wasn't sure if it was the fact that she was getting to show off her awesome house and family to Karen, or if it was that later she was going to get to show off her awesome husband to Charlotte. Maybe a little bit of both. She opened the door to Emma's room to see all 3 of her children asleep on the floor. Emma sprawled out everywhere, Austin snoring, and Maddie sucking away on her pacey which she was still addicted too a night.
"Emmy, Austin, Maddie… wake up" Brooke laughed throwing pillows on them
"What time is it?"
"Too early…"
"Is Karen here?" Emma asked running a brush through her hair
"Yea how did you know?"
"Dad was talking to her last night…"
"Yea, she's here with Nick downstairs. You guys go ahead down… there is enough food down there to feed a small country" Brooke laughed
"Carry me?" Maddie whined
"Yes… Austin up"
"I am" Austin yawned
"Good… Nick is your age… maybe you can like I don't know, play basketball with him… Help him loose some weight or something"
"I thought they were only here for breakfast"
"And dishes… do you think I am doing dishes?" Brooke asked as Emma and Austin laughed at her
"No"
"Right… ok downstairs"
Lucas waited at the table with Karen and Nick until finally Emma, and Austin made their way down the stairs sleepily, still in their pajamas. Followed by Brooke who was carrying tiny Madison who was asleep again on her shoulder.
"Morning dad" Emma smiled hugging Lucas and taking a set next to him
"Morning"
"It looks like Thanksgiving in here" Austin said seeing all the food. His stomach was growling
"We'll we have a lot to be thankful for now don't we?" Karen smiled
"Some more than others" Emma giggled
"Emma, you have gotten so big"
"Your saying I'm fat?"
"No… I mean considering I haven't seen you since you were 3. You look just like your mother… but you have that little bit of your father in you" Karen smiled awkwardly. This was going to be harder than she thought
"Right… dad can you pass the, whatever those are"
"And Austin… you are so tall"
"Yea" Austin sighed
"And then Madison… when I saw here I was just shocked"
"Maddie, wake up ladybug" Brooke smiled sitting down next to Emma with Maddie still asleep on her shoulder
"So, the house is nice"
"Thank you"
"Is it me or is there some seriously bad Karma in here?" Emma whispered to Brooke
"Its not just you…"
"Hola… Maybe I should come back later" Peyton said walking in but stopped at the sight of Karen
"Peyton"
"Stay" Brooke said with a pleading look in her eyes
"And eat!" Maddie added
"Please" Lucas said joining in
"Right, Karen… how are you?"
"Very well… I hear you have a daughter"
"Brittany… she's 6" Peyton smiled sitting next to Austin
"So you waited until you were older and married. Good for you"
"Someone kill me now" Brooke sighed. She should have known it was going to be like this.
"It's ok mom… I'm here for ya"
"Emma… wouldn't you like some bacon?" Karen asked passing the plate to her
"No, I'm a vegetarian"
"Since when?" Lucas asked shocked
"Since yesterday"
"Then a role?"
"I'm on the Atkins diet" Emma smiled
"So what do you eat?"
"Vegetables mostly"
"Would you at least like some milk?" Karen asked in one last attempt to feed her
"I'm lactose intolerant"
"Right, Austin… clean your plate" Karen smiled giving up on Emma and moving to Austin
"Mom says cleaning your plate causes childhood obesity"
"I do say that" Brooke giggled looking over at poor Nick.
"This is nasty" Maddie said spitting out her chicken
"Its Ukrainian chicken"
"Chicken! You killded a chicken! A poar poar chickie? We has to bury him! Mommy! Rehesihate him!" Maddie shrieked causing Emma to spit out her drink with laughter. She knew Maddie was good, but not that good
"Maddie is very sensitive" Austin giggled
"I knew there was a reason I came over here"
"Poar poar chickie… what if he haded babies? Did you even thinks about that! No! Now they are opans!" Maddie cried into Brooke's shoulder and then truned around and glared at Karen
"Orphans?" Lucas asked laughing
"Yea"
"Madison, baby, are you ok?"
"I am… but is the chickie? No… he is died" Maddie finished off in her most dramatic voice
"So Emma is now a vegetarian, Madison is a chicken saver and Austin… well its 8:00 and he is actually awake…" Peyton laughed
"Ok… my 3, living room now, please"
"Why?" Emma asked in her sweetest voice
"You know good and well why…"
"Need help?" Lucas asked knowing just as well as Brooke that something was defiantly going on
"I got it Broody"
Lucas watched as Brooke drug all 3 of the children into the living room and shut the door. He had no idea what was going on with them lately. Maybe it was Tree Hill. This town defiantly had a way of turning kids bad…
"They aren't usually like this" Lucas laughed
"I know right, his kids usually make my Brittany look like a holy terror!"
"Its fine, I'm new to them. Nick clean your plate"
"Yea…"
"So, you and Brooke seem the same as when I left. How is your marriage?" Karen asked. Now that Brooke was gone she could really dig deep
"Karen, their Brooke and Lucas… how do you think their marriage is?" Peyton laughed. Lucas was thankful that Peyton was there. She was defiantly helping to break the tension
"Right… So you hurt your shoulder"
"Uh, yea…"
"I see"
Brooke waited as the 3 kids looked at each other. Not one of them was ready to crack… not even Madison who couldn't keep a secret for the life of her. This was too much for Brooke to handle. Not that she wasn't enjoying Madison's chicken show… it was just Madison hated chicken and loved to watch them cook at the grocery store just to see them dead.
"So not one of you is going to tell me what the hell was going on in there"
"No"
"Ok then… Maddie, if you don't tell Mommy why you were doing that I am going to take away frosty"
"I wove you mommy… I don't want you to die!" Madison cried hugging Brooke. Emma and Austin both knew that it had put the fear of god in her when they told her that if she told… Brooke and Lucas would die
"What? I'm not going to die… Fine, Austin?"
"I'm already in enough trouble… ask Emma. It was her idea"
"Emmalyne Katherine Scott please tell me you didn't put your brother and sister up to that? And don't you lie to me either… I know when you are lying!"
"Like Santa!"
"Fine… Austin take your sister upstairs and get her dressed please"
"Ok"
"Don't die mommy! Emma, if you cause her to died I will hurt you!"
"Emma… You do realize that I trust you more than anyone else in this world?"
"Yes"
"So are you trying to piss me off to the point to where you lose that trust?"
"No…"
"Then what was that about in their Em? Not that I didn't enjoy you 3 trying to tear Karen down… but you should have warned me"
"I know"
"And having your sister lie to me? How the hell did you manage that because I swear I will forgive all if I could just learn that"
"You aren't going to like how I did it"
"I didn't think so… sit, speak"
"Well it was just that last time Karen was here she almost made you leave, and we didn't want that to happen… if you haven't noticed we love you"
"See, just another reason for me to hate that woman… she's scared my kids for life, come here. I'm never going you leave you guys, or dad. Ok well Maddie maybe"
"Mom…"
"I'm kidding… sorta. So how did you get Maddie to hate her secret friend?"
"I told her she wanted to kill Frosty"
"Nice, and Austin was just as worried as you?"
"Yea, don't let him fool you… he came up with half the stuff"
"Ok, well now that I hate that woman even more… you guys continue your little plan… just less obvious or your dad is going to kill me"
"Really?"
"Yes…go get them from upstairs, I'll meet you in the dining room"
The rest of the breakfast went on pretty good. Emma finally broke down and ate claiming she had had an epiphany. Austin took Nick outside and ran him to death down the beach, and Maddie thoroughly enjoyed sitting in Lucas's lap and stabbing his piece of chicken to the point of no return with her fork. Although she still wanted nothing to do with Karen and clung to Brooke and Lucas, scared they were going to die. Finally after Karen had finished the dishes and given them all fake smiles she and Nick left promising to do it again soon.
By 3:00 Haley was there helping Brooke pick out what to wear to the "Cookie" meeting. Once she had begged and begged Lucas to come and had finally gotten him to say yes she just had to find the perfect outfit, and call her dad and beg him to watch the kids while she was gone. Normally she would have just left them with Emma but she was so preoccupied with getting ready for her "date" Maddie would probably run all over her.
"Hey dad" Brooke said sweetly over the phone
"Brooke, how are the grandbabies?"
"As evil as ever"
"When are you going to give your mother and I another one to spoil rotten?" Norman asked
"Never… Wanna do me a favor?"
"Sure…"
"Luke and I have to go to this damn meeting thing and we need a baby sitter. Maddie says she wants her Pepa to come play with her…" Brooke said trying to sound pathetic
"What time?"
"3:45?"
"I'll be there" Norman laughed
"Thanks! Bye"
"Brooke you are so evil" Haley sighed
"What? It's not me! There the ones who chose not to be in the first 20 years of my life, it's not my fault my dad feels all guilty now and will do anything I ask"
"Did he ask again?"
"When I was having another baby… yes. He asks Lucas all the time too doesn't he Broody? It's like god! We aren't rabbits… don't smile at me like that Tutor wife" Brooke giggled
"Sorry…"
"Ok… how do I look?"
"Like you're 23… I hate you so much" Haley laughed glaring at Brooke and her perfect figure.
"I know… Luke come on!"
"Mommy, you still alive?" Madison yelled from the hall. She had been doing in every 10 minutes since breakfast.
"Yes"
"Jus checking"
"What was that about?" Haley laughed
"Long story…"
"Don't you think Maddie would like a little sister or brother?" Peyton giggled trying to hit Brooke's sore spot
"Have you met my Madison?" Brooke asked
"Good point"
"Daddy! Are you still alive?" Madison yelled this time checking on Lucas
"Yes…"
"Jus checking"
"What time is your dad coming?" Lucas asked shaking his head at the little girl who was staring at him in the hallway
"3:45… You look hott"
"Thank you"
"You 2 are sick, you know that right?" Haley gagged
3:45 came and went… after a struggle with Maddie swearing they were leaving her to die and it was all Emma's fault, they finally got out of the house with poor, tiny, dramatic Madison crying in Norman's arms. Brooke had helped Emma with her clothes before hand so when she got home they could just go, and Austin was outside trying to make up with Amber. Now it was time for Brooke to do some serious damage to this housewife. They pulled up to Charlotte's house. It was a sweet house, a 3 bedroom brick one in a moderate neighborhood, children running through the streets riding bikes and skateboarding. Just what Brooke had imagined.
"Are you going to be nice?" Lucas asked helping Brooke out of the car
"Aren't I always nice?"
"No" Lucas laughed
"Well I am nice to most people…"
"Is Charlotte most people?"
"No…" Brooke giggled kissing him
"Brooke's out for revenge"
"Uh! I am not!"
"Yes you are, don't even try and deny it" Haley laughed
"What did she do?"
"Charlotte apparently liked you before Brooke and I did" Peyton smiled
"And no one told me this because? I could have had a girlfriend"
"Lucas!" Brooke shrieked
"But I am glad no one told me because I got you?"
"Good answer…"
"Welcome! Come in, Come in. Lucas! How are you?" Charlotte asked smiling in her cheesy housewife smile that drove Brooke totally insane
"Fine, you?"
"You know… Dealing with kids, I have 3 and 1 on the way"
"Congratulations" Lucas smiled putting his arm around Brooke. Apparently he wasn't as oblivious as she thought
"Yes, Peter is 7, Christy is 5 and is 4"
"The same age as Madison… you guys should set up a play date!" Haley giggled
"You are so dead"
"Now how many kids you and Brooke have Lucas?"
"3, Emma is 12, Austin is 10 and Maddie just turned 4" Lucas answered
"I had no idea you 2 had had another one, well come in… let's get started"
"Dude… you see how she just talks to Lucas? She knew damn well we had 3 kids, she was a backstabbing whore in high school and she still is!" Brooke whispered as they walked in the house
"Brooke, calm down… you act like Lucas would actually go for something like that!"
"He went for Peyton didn't he?" Haley laughed
"Ouch"
"This is our kitchen. We can use this for the planning area… but I was only expecting Haley, Brooke and Peyton so someone can stand"
"Its ok… I'll just sit on Lucas" Brooke smiled
"So is Lucas planning on helping us with the bake sale?"
"Why yes he is aren't you gorgeous?"
"I, I what?" Lucas asked confused. He defiantly knew nothing about this.
"What about Nathan and Jake?"
"Are you kidding me? They wouldn't help if we paid them"
"We're not getting paid!" Brooke asked
"Brooke, its volunteer"
"And it isn't like certain people need the money" Haley said rolling her eyes
"Ugh, lets just get this over with"
"Now this year we have new rule. No bought goods. Last year one of the children got sick because of contaminated cookies, so this year everything must be hand made"
"Oh god just kill me now" Brooke whined
"What?"
"I can't cook! We eat out like very night"
"That's so sad" Charlotte said seriously
"You wouldn't think so if you had ever tasted my cooking…"
"Well you can be in charge of our clean up."
"Brooke and Lucas have a maid that comes in 3 times a week" Peyton giggled
"We don't clean"
"Ok then well you can help Haley and Peyton cook"
"Cant I just like, I don't know collect money? I'm good at that" Brooke volunteered
"That will be Lucas's job"
"You are so lucky she likes you" Brooke whined into Lucas's ear
"Brooke, cooking isn't hard…"
"Tell that to my stove"
"So Haley, you will make a Carrot cake, chocolate chip cookies, and a loaf of Monkey Bread. Peyton you will make a chocolate cake, banana bread and sugar cookies, I will make Banana pudding, oatmeal cookies, fruitcake, coconut cake, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, and cheery cobbler. Brooke you can make brownies" Charlotte smiled
"I don't even like brownies"
The rest of the meeting went long… mostly Charlotte talking to Lucas and Brooke just glaring back, from Lucas's lap of course. Haley and Peyton giggling at her and Lucas totally oblivious to it all, being a guy. Finally at 5:30 Brooke decided she had had enough and claimed to have a terrible headache.
"Well this was nice. We will defiantly have to do it again soon"
"Oh yes…"
"I will see you all next Saturday at 6:30!"
"In the morning?"
"We always go shopping for the cooking supplies together"
"Of course you do"
"Lets go Cheery… come on"
"That lady is so lucky she's pregnant"
"And you guys wonder where Madison gets it from"
"Funny… come on, I gotta get home to take Emma on her "date"
At home Emma sat in front of the mirror fixing her hair while Austin looked at all her girly magazines. Since he wasn't aloud to have friends over (minus Amber) he had nothing better to do. At least Norman was keeping Madison busy planning Brooke and Lucas's funeral, along with Frosty's. She had finally stopped crying and now she was in "moaning" as she called it.
"So Emma, am I summer or an Autumn?" Austin asked flipping the pages of Cosmo.
"You wanna see dad have a heart attack… ask him that when he gets home" Emma giggled
"I'm not gay… I was just wondering"
"I don't know, mom will though"
"MOMMY! YOUR NOT DEAD!" Emma squealed from downstairs
"Moms home"
"DADDY! YOUR NOT DEAD EITHER"
"Dad too… Date time… wish me luck" Emma laughed
"Luck, I guess… what do you think dad would say if I told him I wanted to be a cheerleader"
"Maddie really would be planning his funeral"
"Hey Em, you ready?" Brooke asked walking into the bedroom with Madison's ams wrapped tightly around her neck
"Depends… is Madison going to let go of your neck to let us go?"
"Ask her"
"Lula…" Emma begged but Madison just glared at her sister
"Nowa… Emma… Nowa. She my mommy too and YOU almost killded her"
"I did not!"
"Yes you did you tolded!" Maddie cried leaning her head back on Brooke's shoulder
"Maddie… daddy is looking pale, why don't you stay home with him"
"Cuase I want to go with Emma"
"Bring her, I don't care… lets just go!" Emma said giving up knowing she wasn't going to win against cranky Madison.
"Wow Maddie did you hear that? She must really want to go"
"Well I figure she had better have some fun tonight since she has to have T-E-S-T-S done tomorrow" Emma smiled
"Very true…You're a good sister. Lets go"
