Ok you guys… This chapter is late because its OTH week hahaha. I did nothing but watch the DVDs, Listen to the CD, watch them on talk shows, and watch the new eppie…. Hahahahaha and I am a very happy person now!! So sorry this chapter is so late… the next may be a little late too because I never know what they are going to be doing to my ankle…
The next chapter will be back on track but I seriously had to close up some story lines in this chapter before I could really go anywhere else. The next chapter will take place a few months in the future because I really have to get things moving! Hahaha
Anyway! Enjoy and please review!
"Stay really still and maybe they wont see us" Brooke giggled grabbing onto Lucas, she knew they saw them but this gave her a reason to grab him
"Why do things like this always happen to us?"
"Because we are us… haven't you figured this out yet?"
"Come down slowly" The officer yelled. By the sound of his voice Brooke could tell it wasn't Fergie…, which was bad for them
"What do we tell them?"
"Its my moms café… she will say we weren't breaking in"
"Lucas I just had her put in jail for the night with Keith… and when she finds out that her son is at home with Dan? She will have us put away for a very long time" Brooke whispered loudly
"Brooke… I am her son"
"So…"
"You have a point… what should we do?" Lucas asked trying to stall as long as possible
"You're asking me?"
"You got us into this mess"
"COME DOWN SLOWLY" The officer yelled, louder this time
"We could jump…"
"And leave our kids with who?"
"Dan…" Brooke giggled
"Brooke this isn't the best time to joke"
"We have got to do something…"
"Lets go" Lucas finally said kissing Brooke
"Down there? They are going to eat us alive!"
"They aren't piranhas… Brooke if we don't then they are going to get us for something worse"
"Fine… only if you give me a piggy back ride" Brooke whined… her feet were killing her
"Down the ladder?"
"I think I twisted my ankle"
"You're a terrible liar… get on" Lucas laughed kissing her one last time before letting her on
Emma, Austin, Nick and Dan sat on the couch watching their 3rd episode of Dawson's creek. Dan was not amused… but every time he tried to get up Emma shot him a look saying "You move, you die" Normally he wouldn't let a 13 year old girl get to him, but this 13 year old girl had more connections than he did… if that was even possible and she could defiantly damage his rep.
"Should we call mom and dad?" Austin asked looking at his watch. He always worried when he parents were out late.
"Why?"
"It's getting late"
"Their mom and dad…" Emma laughed
"Yea but don't they usually call?"
"Maybe they have been killed" Dan whispered trying to make Emma mad
"Maybe you should shut your mouth…"
"Emma" Maddie whispered from behind the couch
"What Lula?"
"Carter is waked up"
"I'm coming… you 3 have fun with your DVDs… I'll be back" Emma giggled
"Can't we pause them?"
"No…"
"Listen to Emmy, she is smart!" Maddie laughed hugging Emma
"Thank you Lula… I'll be back with Maddie and Carter, don't move"
"That girl is mean" Dan snorted as she walked away
"She has had a hard day"
"Her boyfriend is cheating on her"
"Nick!" Austin whispered… Emma was going to kill them
"I wasn't supposed to tell that was I?"
"Emma is going to kill you"
"Why doesn't she just let him knock her up, that worked for your mom" Dan laughed deviously
"Your so dead when I tell my mom you just said that"
"Right because I am so scared of your mother kid"
"Hello…" Peyton yelled from the side door breaking up the
"Hey Peyton"
"Is your mom here?"
"Nope… but Dan is…" Austin smiled sarcastically
"Wow… maybe I should have brought my ice skates because it looks like Hell has frozen over"
"Funny…" Dan snorted hitting the play button on the remote
"When's your mom going to be back?"
"Who knows…"
"Peyton!" Maddie squealed running into Peyton's arms
"Hey Maddie…"
"I love you"
"I love you too…" Peyton laughed
"Take me home and get me away from these crazy peoples!"
"Lula! We're not crazy" Emma giggled walking down with Austin
"He is, and so is he!" Maddie said pointing to Dan and then Nick
"Do you want me to take Carter and Maddie to my house for the night?"
"You don't have too"
"Brooke has saved my butt with Britt so many times… Go pack you a little bag Maddie" Peyton said putting her down
"Thanks Peyton"
"You and Austin wanna come too?"
"And leave Nick with Dan?" Emma laughed
"Gotcha… Come on Carter… lets go pack you a bag"
"I'll take him… come on Carter"
"What… you scared to see what I will do to these kids?" Dan laughed
"I dated your son… I know what you do to kids…"
"Good thing my son dumped you"
"Your right…Then I wouldn't have Jake" Peyton smiled. She did love Jake… as Brooke put it he was her Lucas
"Ok Peyton they're packed… Thank you so much" Emma said running down with Carter, Maddie and their bags
"No problem babe… I am going to take them home and see if they can help me talk some since into my hubbie"
"Have fun" Emma laughed kissing Maddie and Carter bye
"You too…come on guys"
Brooke and Lucas sat in the police car waiting for the police to decide what to do with them. Lucky for them Brooke had been "friends" with one of them before she and Lucas had started dating… the bad news was she hadn't been so friendly with the other one. So now they were stuck listening to the 2 argue over what to do.
"How long is this going to go on do you think?" Brooke whined trying to unlock the door
"Who knows…"
"Lets escape!" Brooke shrieked still trying to pick the lock
"And get put away for years?"
"This sucks… we need to do something to occupy the time"
"Brooke… you have that look" Lucas laughed
"Have you ever made out in the back of a police car?" Brooke giggled sliding over into his lap
"No…"
"Want to now?"
"Brooke…" Lucas sighed
"Come on Broody! It will be fun! And… its something we can tell our grandchildren"
"Don't we have enough to tell our grandchildren?"
"No… Lucas, come on… for me" Brooke pouted. Lucas was way to seriously lately with everything that was going on lately… this was exactly what they needed tonight to make him loosen up
"For you?"
"Yea…" Brooke whispered kissing him
"I guess we do have a lot of time" Lucas saud changing his mind quickly. Brooke had a way of making him do that.
"How much more fun would this be if they had put us in handcuffs…" Brooke giggled checking the back for accessories
"Um… no"
"Yes! We could like I don't know… try and beak free!"
"Are we going to talk this whole time?" Lucas asked pulling her towards him
"Your right…"
"Wait…"
"What?" Brooke whined
"If they see this aren't they just going to get mad and take us in?"
"Probably… but hey! We can spend a nice night with Karen and Keith!"
"And the kids?" Lucas asked
"Well… Dan can't do but so much damage!"
"Alright you 2… we have to make a stop to pick up a teenager who tried to break into the mall… you can ride along and we'll take you down to the station and decide there" One of the officers said getting into the drivers seat
"It was my moms café!" Lucas yelled
"We'll see what your mother has to say about that"
"Oh great… we could be in here forever…"
"The foster people are going to be so pissed at us" Lucas said realizing how much trouble they were going to be in if they did get arrested
"Maybe… but we have Dan at our house… as bad as that he can pull some strings if we need him too"
Peyton carried Carter and Maddie into the house where Jake was sitting on the couch with Brittany watching cartoons. Britt was giggling and going on and on about how the road runner was going to get caught at some point, and Jake had the same old worried look on his face that he always had.
"Hola uncle Jake" Maddie giggled as they walked into the house
"Hey Maddie, Carter what are you guys doing here?"
"Brooke and Lucas went out and they were there with Dan…" Peyton whispered
"Oh… Yikes"
"Tell me about it… so they are going to stay the night. Where's Jenny?"
"She went to the mall with some friends" Jake sighed
"You let her go?"
"Peyton… please, lets not do this now"
"Jake… We can't let her do this anymore" Peyton yelled
"You can locks her in the cellar" Maddie giggled
"We don't have a cellar silly"
"Or in your dungeon!"
"We don't have one of those either" Jake laughed
"Hawee always tells Nate she is going to lock him in your dungeon if he is bad"
"Haley will say anything to make those kids behave… Britt you and Maddie go play ok honey?" Peyton asked
"OK… come on Maddie! Lets play Baby dolls!"
"And we can make frosty come!" Maddie squealed running to Britt's room with her
"You girls be good"
"Peyt… sit" Jake sighed making room on the couch for her
"I've got my hands full"
"He can listen…" Jake laughed taking Carter
"Jake"
"Peyton… I think we should send Jenny to live with my parents for a while"
"What?" Peyton asked totally blindsided
"Obviously I'm not spending enough time with you and Brittany… Britt asked me today what I did for a living… Peyt she has no idea who her father is…"
"I know…"
"Jenny needs structure and I can't give her that anymore" Jake sighed
"Jake… I love Jenny, we cant"
"I know you love Jenny Peyton… God sometimes I think you love her most in this world, but she isn't your daughter and you shouldn't have to deal with this!"
"Jake, I cannot believe you just said that to me! Jenny has been my daughter from day 1 and she is no less of one now than Brittany or this new baby will be! Don't you ever say that again!" Peyton snapped
"New baby?"
Brooke picked up her cell phone while the cops were out talking to the juvenile delinquents and dialed home so she could at least let Emma know where they were so they wouldn't worry. It rang 3 times and then Emma picked up.
"Hello?" Emma answered quietly
"Hey babe"
"Hey mom… where are you guys?"
"Making out in the back of a police car" Brooke giggled
"No seriously… where are you guys"
"Making out in the back of a police car"
"Wow… how'd that happen?" Emma laughed
"Long story… apparently breaking into Karen's café…. Not even breaking in but trespassing… bad idea"
"Oh…"
"What's wrong?" Brooke asked hearing the tone of Emma's voice. It wasn't her usually cheery bubbly ness… she was sad and almost bitter
"Nothing…"
"Emmalyne Katherine Scott you have a tone… the same tone I get when I am upset"
"I'm not upset mom… just tired" Emma lied
"Ok I am going to let you get away with this this one time since I am strapped for time… how are Maddie and Carter?"
"Good… Peyton took them home"
"Good to know… ok well we should be home sometime tonight… unless Karen goes all psycho bitch on us and stuff" Brooke sighed
"Good luck…"
"Thanks babe" Brooke said hanging up the phone
"How are they?"
"Peyton took Maddie and Carter home with her, and Emma is mad about something"
"This is taking forever" Lucas sighed
"You think they would turn the sirens on if we asked?" Brooke asked. If they were going to have to be in the car they should at least get sirens
"No…"
"What if I made out with them or something"
"Brooke!" Lucas laughed putting his arm around her
"I'm just kidding… I only make out with you and Bob"
"Bob…."
"You are going to feel very silly one day when you find out there really is a Bob" Brooke giggled wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him
"Ok you 2… off each other… make room"
"Jenny?" Brooke asked seeing the girl getting into the seat next to her
"Brooke… thank god"
"Wow… how crazy is this?" Brooke asked
"You know her?" The officer asked starting the car
"Yea…"
"Figures… lets go"
"So Jenny what happened?" Brooke whispered
"I was drinking… and I thought the mall would be a fun place to go"
"Like mother, like daughter" Lucas coughed
"Lucas…"
Emma sat next to Austin and tried to work on some homework. Of course it wasn't going well… She was too upset to think. All she had written on her whole math sheet was "Tristan is an idiot" and drawn a little stick figure with Arrows flying at it. She knew it wasn't the best way to handle this but it did help with her anger and sadness.
"Wow, that's violent" Austin laughed seeing her picture
"Too much?"
"After what he did to you? You should add some fire on the end of those arrows"
"Your right" Emma giggled. Her little brother wasn't good for much but he alwys made her feel better when she needed it
"Would you 2 be quiet? I am trying to think" Dan snorted
"Or watch Dawson's creek"
"I am not watching this show"
"That's what dad use to say…" Emma laughed
"Your dad and I are different"
"Obviously… unlike you dad actually cares"
"I care" Dan laughed
"About yourself"
"That's still caring and don't you forget it… you better be nice to me… I can get you a deal on a car when you are 16"
"He really is clueless" Austin sighed
"Nick your quiet…"
"Mom says if I don't have anything to say then just don't talk"
"My mom says the opposite…" Austin laughed
"Hey Nick… you know you're their uncle… so you can like boss them around, lets see you do it!"
"You're technically our grandfather but you don't boss us around" Austin asked
"I have my reasons… I could if I wanted too…"
"Sure… you keep telling yourself that"
Peyton walked upstairs to where Maddie and Britt were playing to try and get them to bed. After explaining to Jake about the baby, which defiantly took long enough and then convincing him to re-think the whole Jenny thing she was warn out… and now she had to get 3 little kids to bed.
"Alright you 2… what happened in here?" Peyton asked walking into the room covered with white flakes
"We made it snow" Maddie giggled
"It was my idea" Brittany added
"How did you make snow?"
"With soap…"
"And the cheese shredder" Britt laughed
"Wow… ok, just get your pajamas on"
"Can't we play in the snow for just 1 more minute?" Britt begged
"Its not snow… its my good soap… bed"
"It is snow… if felled from the ceiling" Maddie laughed
"Really?"
"Frosty made it come"
"Well now frosty wants you to go to bed… nite nite girls" Peyton smiled
"Night Mommy"
"Night Peyton"
Brooke, Lucas and Jenny finally got to the police station where Fergie was waiting. Brooke had never been more relieved to see him in her life and neither had Lucas. Karen and Keith on the other hand, who were sitting in the tiny cell, did not look amused. Karen was glaring at Brooke shaking her head every few seconds while Keith just sat there.
"Lucas… Brooke what have you 2 done?" Fergie laughed as they walked in
"We were just going to get some food and dumb and dumber here decided we were trespassing"
"Were you?"
"Fergie… you have known me forever… would I trespass?" Brooke asked seriously
"Yes…"
"Well we weren't… were we Broody, can we please just go home to our kids?"
"Are you really going home?" Fergie asked suspiciously
"Where else would be go?"
"With you 2 there is no telling…"
"Fergie…" Brooke whined
"Go ahead… Jenny come on, your staying the night, I already talked to your dad and he thinks it's the best idea"
"Brooke…come on" Lucas said grabbing her hand
"Um, you go ahead I think I am going to stay"
"What?"
"Maybe talk to Jenny…" Brooke said wrapping her arms around Lucas's neck to give him a quick kiss
"Cheery… come home"
"I want too… but this is important to Peyton and I haven't really been there for her lately and"
"I get it… call me later?" Lucas asked kissing her on the forehead
"Of course…"
"Come here… I had fun tonight" Lucas laughed pulling her closer
"Liar"
"No… I really did, it was like us again"
"Its always us" Brooke smiled
"I know…but us us"
"Kiss the kids for me…"
"I will… good luck with Jenny…" Lucas laughed
"Lord help me… love you Broody"
"Love you too Cheery"
Once Lucas was gone Brooke walked over to where Jenny was sitting by the officer. She looked so sad and messed up… it reminded Brooke of a younger Peyton, back when they were in high school and their whole lives were boys and drama.
"So what really happened tonight?" Brooke asked sitting down next to Jenny
"I already told you"
"No… you lied, believe me I use to do it all the time"
"I was lonely… I just thought I should leave Peyton and dad alone for the night" Jenny sighed
"Jenny…"
"Do you ever feel like you don't belong? Like where ever you go you just don't fit in?"
"Is that how you feel?" Brooke asked
"Mom only wants me at her house to make dad and Peyton mad…and when I am at home with dad he is so busy trying to make sure I don't get in Peyton's way its like he doesn't even care… and Peyton has Britt"
"Jenny, you know Peyton loves you right? From the second she met you in high school when I was dating Lucas she clung to you… she was always trying to come up with some reason to go see you or babysit you and when you and your dad left… it almost killed her…"
"Really?" Jenny asked letting a tear slip down her cheek
"Doesn't she tell you this stuff?"
"I don't ask…"
"Well you should… I always ask… everything… too much sometimes, ok all the time" Brooke giggled
"So am I really going to have to stay here tonight?"
"Are you going to be better?"
"Yea…" Jenny said seriously
"I'll talk to Fergie, see what I can do"
"Thanks Brooke"
Lucas drove into the driveway. All the lights in the house were off, so he was guessing they were all asleep. He walked up to the porch to open the door when he heard a little couch coming from the steps.
"Hey Em" Lucas said sitting down next to Emma
"Hey dad"
"Emmy, its freezing out here" Lucas said handing her his coat
"Its not so bad…"
"For you to be your mothers child you look very un-cheery… what's wrong"
"What made you cheat on mom… I mean why did you do it if you knew she liked you?" Emma asked trying hard not to cry
"It was a lot of things I guess… fear of loving her back, being 16, a lot…"
"But why with Peyton?"
"I had in it my head for a long time I was in love with Peyton…" Lucas sighed
"Were you?"
"Am I married to her? I was in love with the idea of Peyton… then your mom came and kinda blindsided me…"
"But you didn't do it to hurt mom?" Emma asked letting a tear run down her cheek
"Never… Where's this coming from Em?"
"When we were downtown today… I saw Tristan kissing Christine, and it hurt… I really liked him dad"
"Come here…" Lucas said pulling her to his chest. He wasn't prepared for this… all that was running through his head was how much that boy was going to pay for breaking his little girls heart
"And I had just turned down Cooper and"
"Shh"
"I wanna be little again" Emma cried
"You are little…"
"Like Maddie's age"
"Me too…" Lucas laughed stroking her long auburn hair
"What do I do dad?"
"I cant tell you what to do Em, but your not even 13 yet… a lot of boys are going to come and go…"
"Does it get easier?" Emma asked sitting up from his chest
"In some ways… but mostly it stays the same"
"It hurts a lot dad" Emma cried harder
"Want me to kick his ass?" Lucas asked
"Just don't kick his face… he's hott"
"You got it" Lucas laughed kissing her forehead. Now he had a terrible feeling in the pit of his stomach… Emma was growing up
"Thanks dad"
Spoilers: Lucas's coach comes and stays for a few days, Hahaha, Brooke and Haley help Peyton out. Austin and Lucas go camping, Emma has to make a hard decision… Keith fights for Nick, Dan makes himself at home… Lots to come! Please review!
