Short Chapter… but lots of Brucas love!

OK you guys! Sorry for dragging out the cliff hangers… if I didn't then the chapters would end up being like 30 pages each (Right now they are about 17 each) … hahaha with so many characters in this story its hard to fit everything I need in… so things get drug out… hahaha. Its also hard for me to make time with just Brooke and Lucas when I have like 5 storylines going on at once hahaha. Each Chapter is like its own little episode, and for some reason they keep getting longer and longer… and harder and harder for me to fit everything in… But I will try harder!

Here is some Answers to some of you guys questions in the past reviews!

Q: Will Brooke turn 30 in this story?

A: Hmmm that sounds like a good idea for the last chapter… like the end of an era!

Q: Will Brooke and Lucas have another baby?

A: Nooooo, hahaha no more!! I wasn't even sure I wanted to add Carter

Q: How come Jenny is like that?

A: Jenny isn't a BAD kid per say, and she loves Peyton like a mother, but she has had a hard life and her teenage years are reflecting on that… She and Peyton will be ok

Q: How come Keith is Nick's father?

A: Because I flipped a coin and got tails (Keith) hahaha

Q: Did you know you were using names from Chad's movies and TV shows? (Austin, Tristan, Nick)

A: I had no idea!! Seriously… Nick sounded good with Lucas, Tristan was from Legends of the Fall and Austin sounded good with Emma hahaha

Q: Do you hate Karen?

A: Actually, no not really… on the show she is great and REALLY funny… but I needed someone to be the drama and she just kinda fit… I have nothing against Karen lol

Ok! Now for Chapter 15!

"What did she say? Wait… do I want to know what she said?" Lucas asked nervously as Brooke hung up the phone. Sometimes it was better not knowing… at least then there was a 50/50 shot

"She said… everything looks great, not great for a normal kid… but great for Maddie!" Brooke smiled hugging Lucas. It wasn't the best news they could have gotten… but it was definitely not the worst.

"Thank god…"

"I think I just had a thousand pounds of stress lifted off of me…" Brooke giggled sitting down on the bed with Lucas

"Lets go celebrate…"

"Where?"

"Anywhere… somewhere to get away from this house and problems and kids! Brooke if we don't get some time to ourselves we are going to loose it" Lucas said running his fingers through his hair like he always did when he was stressed. They needed a break from everything or else things were not going work

"Do we really trust Dan and Deb with our children?"

"Nathan is still alive isn't he?"

"That's true… ok lets go eat somewhere!" Brooke said excitedly. They hadn't had a nice dinner in forever! Not since Maddie was born.

"Chili's?"

"Do we ever eat anywhere else?"

"I'll get our coats" Lucas said in a hurry

"I'll tell Cleavage and Danny boy, their going to just love this"

"Wait… what about Nick, we can't leave him here with Dan"

"Why not… you said he knows his father is Keith…" Brooke whined. She knew this was too good to be true

"He does… which means he probably hates Dan"

"So…Lucas… Broody… Husband…" Brooke begged. She wanted to go to dinner with him so bad it was killing her inside

"He'll live…lets go" Lucas laughed kissing Brooke

"Where are we going Mommy?" Maddie asked sleepily

"Daddy and I are going to go eat, and so fun stuff like that"

"Don't have sex…"

"I cant make you any promises… where's Carter?" Brooke asked looking around for Maddie's "Shadow" as they called him

"Saleeping"

"Ok, I'll put him in the bed… You ladybug can do whatever you want while we're gone"

"Can I play hair dresser?" Maddie asked excitedly

"On Dan? Sure… and make sure you do it on Deb too"

"Ok!"

"Broody I am putting Carter to bed and then I'll be downstairs" Brooke said carrying Maddie to the playroom where Carter was conked out on the floor sucking his pacy.

Lucas walked into the coatroom to grab his and Brooke's coats. This was definitely a benefit to having Dan and Deb here… He and Brooke desperately needed a night out together, without having to worry about what a babysitter was doing to their children. Not that he wasn't starting to worry what Dan was going to do to them… but even Dan had his high points, and children were one of them.

"Can you guys watch the kids while Brooke and I go out?" Lucas asked once he had gotten the coats

"That's what we're here for"

"Great…" Lucas sighed

"When will you be back…"

"I have no idea and that's the plan I'm sticking too… you guys have fun, Ready Cheery?"

"Yep… Carter is sleeping, Maddie is in charge, and please don't let her jump off of anymore staircases" Brooke begged

"Don't worry… we'll be fine"

"Lets get out of here before I start to regret this…Bye Maddie" Brooke smiled kissing Maddie by. She was ready to get out of there.

After their Manicures and Pedicures Emma figured it was safe to walk home… Nick and Carter were in awe with how soft their fingers were and how their feet felt like flowers. Emma could barely keep from laughing at the 2 boys… she also loved the blackmail this was going to give her on these 2.

"Ok you 2… we can go home now" Emma laughed as they called passed Port City Java

"So how often do we have to get this done?" Nick asked rubbing his fingernails

"Every 2 weeks or so… you guys aren't actually going to get it done again are you?"

"My hands are never going to feel that rough again" Austin laughed

"Dad is going to kill me…"

"Is that Tristan?" Austin asked pointing to a boy in the window of Port City Java

"Yea…"

"Whose that with him?" Nick asked seeing the brunette girl beside him

"Christine… he hates her though"

"Then why is he kissing her?" Nick laughed

"What?"

"Emma, come on… Emma don't watch its just going to make you upset" Austin said trying to pull Emma away from the window

"I, um, I cant believe I turned down Cooper for that!" Emma sighed trying not to make a big deal out of it, even though it was hurting a lot

"Emma…are you ok?"

"I'm fine… let's go home, don't tell mom and dad, please?" Emma begged he brother, but she knew he wouldn't

"If that's what you want… I can beat him up if you want me too"

"No thanks, lets just go home"

"You aren't going to let him see that you saw him?" Nick asked not understanding the whole situation

"Maybe its not what I think… Austin lets just go" Emma said

"No, nobody treats my sister like that"

"You can write him a letter from home… lets just go!" Emma said getting madder and madder

"You aren't going to tell him are you?" Austin asked quietly

"What?"

"That you saw him… you're just going to let him get away with it"

"Who says?" Emma asked

"I've known you my whole life Emma… Your like the mirror image of mom, except when it comes to this… your better than him"

"Austin, I know your trying to help… but it's making me mad knowing your right… so just don't talk" Emma said frustrated

"If you say so…"

"So he was your boyfriend?" Nick asked

"He is my boyfriend… until tomorrow when I dump him very publicly in front of the whole School"

"Ouch… sounds fun… I wish I went to your school" Austin laughed

"No… you don't"

Dan sat on the couch and watched as Maddie pretended to cut Deb's hair with the scissors. Deb seemed amused at the little girls attempt to make fake scissors cut Debs hair but Dan wasn't…

"Hey Maddie… here" Dan said slipping the little girl a pair of real scissors

"Daddy says…" Maddie started but Dan broke in so Deb couldn't hear

"Shh… is daddy here?"

"I like the way you think" Maddie giggled

"Dan what is she talking about?"

"I just told her I was sharpening her scissors for her… She is little… we have to play along" Dan laughed

"And people say you were a terrible father… they should see you with these kids"

"I have reformed my ways"

"Mommy has too! She is a reformed slut!" Maddie laughed as she snipped away the blonde hair

"We know…" Deb sighed

"We will make you look like Frosty!"

"Whatever you want…" Deb laughed

"Frosty… how about Keith"

"Nowa! Frosty!"

"This one has a temper" Dan smiled

"I do not…"

"See…"

"Well you look like a monkey!" Maddie yelled

"Hey… remember what I just did for you?"

"Oh yea…"

"Dan… what is she using?" Deb asked

"Just little toy things"

"So that wasn't my hair that just fell to the floor?"

"Yes it was… don't lie! Mommy saided Liars are bad and they turn into crack whores" Maddie laughed

"Maddie what kind of sissors are you using?"

"Pink ones"

"Are they actually cutting my hair?" Deb asked Maddie who was still snipping away

"Yes they are"

"DAN!"

Brooke and Lucas walked into Chili's. It was crowded for a weeknight, and of course they knew everything that was there… so they had to act somewhat mature which disappointed Brooke. Mature wasn't in her vocabulary tonight.

"This place brings back memories" Brooke said sitting down on a bench to wait

"Good or bad?"

"Both…"

"What are we going to do after we eat?" Brooke asked grinning

"Whatever you want…" Lucas smiled putting his arm around Brooke while they waited. It was so strange just being the 2 of them… no children begging for change or whinging because the wait was so long

"Oh yay! This is going to be fun…"

"But…please keep it"

"Legal? If I have too…" Brooke whined… she knew she could talk him into doing anything she wanted too so it didn't really matter

"We do want to keep our children…"

"Or do we?" Brooke giggled rolling her eyes at him

"Brooke! Lucas… come join us!" Bevin yelled from a table close to the front of the restaurant

"No…" Brooke whined but Lucas pulled her up

"Bevin, Mouth…"

"Its going to be a 45 minute wait unless you would like to sit with them sir"

"Brooke?" Lucas asked giving her the choice

"I am hungry…"

"Ok that's fine…"

"Brooke, Lucas… what are you guys going here?" Mouth asked as if he hadn't seen them… but Brooke knew good and well it was probably his idea to have them sit with them

"We needed a break..."

"Same here… Brooke is teething and chewing up everything…" Mouth laughed

"That is just so wrong…." Brooke gagged

"So what are you guys doing after this? We were thinking of taking the boat out for a while"

"We are, going to a party" Brooke lied…she was not spending their whole night with Bevin and Mouth… Never

"Really? Who is having a party on a weeknight?"

"Um, Tallulah… old friend… yea so we really have to eat fast" Brooke lied… she could see the skink of Lucas's face growing

"Brooke…" Lucas whispered

"Do you really want to spend our night with them?"

"Yea… she likes to have a party every night and we haven't been able to make it in a while" Lucas joined in… Brooke had a point, there was no way they were spending their night with them

"Well that's nice isn't it Mouth…" Bevin smiled fakely

"Yea…Hey, I'll be right back…" Mouth said getting up from the table

"Ok you to have to help me!" Bevin cried once he was out of earshot

"What?"

"I need to break up with Mouth?"

"Why?" Brooke asked shocked… she didn't see this one coming

"Because he is in love with you!"

"What? No…" Brooke started but she knew it was true

"He thinks I am stupid and I don't see it but I do…"

"He loves you Bevin" Lucas said trying to help but he knew the truth, Mouth had always loved Brooke…

"Right because that's why he named our dog Brooke!"

"Right…"

"Why does this always happen to us?" Brooke whined knowing they were going to have to help

"I don't know…"

Emma, Austin and Nick walked into the house where Deb was crying over the kitchen sink, Dan was laughing on the couch and Maddie was sitting in the corner quietly. Emma really wasn't in the mood to deal with them…not with the way she was feeling. But since her dads car was gone, she had a feeling she was going to have too.

"Lula what's wrong?" Emma asked pulling the little girl out of the corner

"Deb yelleded at me"

"Why?"

"Cause Monkeywhore told me to cut her hair" Maddie cried

"Come here Lula… where are Mommy and daddy"

"Having sex" Maddie cried harder

"Your parents went to dinner" Dan laughed still looking at Deb

"Where is Carter?"

"Sleeping…"

"You look sleepy… you want to come take a nap with me?" Emma asked

"Ywes…"

"Ok you run upstairs in crawl into my bed… I'll be there in a minute…"

"So…" Austin laughed

"You guys are so dead when my parents come home" Emma said glaring at Dan

"Dan! You are dead… I'm finished! You are NOT welcome back in my house! EVER! I hope you burn in…" Deb screamed

"Woah… ok everyone chill, you've upset Maddie… I am going to lie down with her for like 5 minutes and then she will be asleep… NO ONE MOVE until I get back!"

"What's her deal?" Dan laughed

"Long story… nice hair, Maddie really did a hack job"

"Dan… I am going home! I hope you have a nice life here! ALONE!"

"Wow she is mad, don't you know to never mess with a woman's hair?" Austin asked

"It will grow back…"

"I don't know… she looks kinda old…" Austin laughed

"Your Nick?"

"Yes, You must be Dan"

"Yea… ok then your mother is just going to love this! Wanna get some ice cream?" Dan asked still laughing

"Oh god…"

Brooke and Lucas sat and listened to Bevin rant about Mouth until he came back… and then even when he did come back, she still ranted. By the time their drinks were there Brooke had had it and was ready to kill both of them… luckily Lucas was there to keep her calm.

"You know what… we had better get to our party…" Brooke said dragging Lucas away from the table

"Its early" Bevin smiled trying to get them to stay

"Tallulah has early parties… it is a weeknight"

"You 2 have a good night…" Brooke said starting to walk away but Bevin broke in

"Wait… don't you want to stay and eat?"

"I think we better go… bye" Lucas said trying to help Brooke

"But…"

"You know what… no, Lucas and I came out for a NICE QUIET evening… just US… not to listen to you rant about how you hate you life… if you hate it do something about it and stop complaining!" Brooke finally yelled

"Wow…" Lucas laughed

"Sorry that has been built up for a long time…"

"I love you Mouth and I think we need to have a baby and get away from this town!" Bevin cried

"I love you too… only if Brooke tells me it will never work out"

"It will NEVER work out…"

"I don't think I am in love with Brooke…. Just the idea of Brooke… Like Lucas was with Peyton in high school" Mouth sighed

"Ok, problem solved… now can Lucas and I go now…?

"Sure…" Bevin laughed kissing Mouth

"OK Broody… lets get out of here before someone else needs us…"

"Where too?"

"Somewhere with food…" Brooke whined

"I have an idea"

"Alright Broody… but keep this legal" Brooke giggled mocking him

"Haha… Is breaking into my moms café legal"

"Lucas Scott…. I am so proud…"

After Emma put Maddie in her bed she walked downstairs where Dan, Austin and Nick were playing Go Fish. Deb had apparently run off because she wasn't crying over the sink anymore… but it at least looked like Nick, Dan and Austin were enoying themselves.

"Ok you 3… Mom left me a note… she says I am aloud to do whatever I want with you" Emma giggled

"No…"

"Emma please" Austin begged

"We are watching Dawson's creek until mom and dad get home" Emma laughed

"They could be gone all night"

"I have 6 seasons worth… everyone get comphy!"

"I'm not aloud to watch this show" Nick sighed

"Your not aloud to talk to Dan and Keith either…"

"Your right…"

"Ok then… Dan you make the popcorn" Emma instructed… this was going to be awesome

"You can't tell me what to do…" Dan laughed

"I can and I will so get over it… got it?"

"Damn you being your mothers child!"

"Thank you…" Emma giggled

Brooke and Lucas walked into the alley behind the café where the ladder, lead up to the roof. There was only one way to get into the café without the alarm going off and Brooke didn't exactly like it… ladders weren't her thing…

"Climb Cheery!" Lucas laughed

"I am going to fall" Brooke whined

"No your not… I'm behind you"

"So then I will fall and kill you! Then who am I going to sleep with?" Brooke giggled turning around to kiss him

"You wont kill me… climb"

"Well I will cripple you!"

"Go… there is food in there" Lucas said knowing that would get her moving

"Fine…I cant believe I turned you felon…"

"Wow…" Lucas said once they got to the top

"What?"

"Haley and I's stuff is still up here…"

"Wow… yay! ok food" Brooke giggled kissing Lucas

"Wait… do you hear something?"

"Police… Your under arrest"
