When the new Scott family walked up to the front door, it was covered with "It's a girl!" Signs and "Welcome Home" banners. Brooke looked at Lucas and kissed him. "Broody, I love it! It's perfect, now everyone will know that Sydni is here!" She said, looking at the sleeping baby.

"Hey, I'm all for the kissing, but I didn't do any of this." Lucas said, opening the door and pushing the stroller through the doorway. At that moment, they didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

Brooke and Lucas decided to take Sydni on a tour of the house. "Ok, this is daddy's sports room," Brooke said to Sydni, who was lying in Brooke's arms awake and alert. "This is the guest room, and this is mommy and daddy's room." She sat on the bed and looked at her daughter. "Since you were so early, your room isn't quite ready yet." Brooke said. She sat there talking to Sydni until Lucas interrupted her.

"Hey Babe?" He called out.

"What's up. Sydni and I are just chillin' watching the OC in our bed." Brooke really didn't feel like getting up at the moment, and she hoped that Lucas would read deeper into her statement and figure this out.

No such luck! "Can you come here in the nursery for a sec? I need your help with some clothes, like which ones should we put out for right now?" Lucas had the biggest grin on his face. He couldn't wait for Brooke to see his last surprise, and he knew that she would love it, at least he hoped that she did.

Brooke picked up Sydni and walked into the nursery. "Can't you bring them to.." Brooke stopped mid-sentence. She walked into what she thought was going to be a bare wall room filled with boxes. Instead, she walked into the nursery that she had been dreaming of ever since they had bought the house. Lucas took Sydni so that Brooke could physically take everything in. She walked around the room, touching all the furniture and smiling. She walked over to the wall where Sydni's crib was and ran her fingers along the letter's spelling out Sydni's name. "Lucas," Brooke said, walking over to the glider where he was sitting with Sydni. "It's perfect."

"I try!" Lucas said, accepting a kiss from Brooke. He looked at Sydni, who was staring intently at the ceiling. "Hey, what ya looking at?" Lucas said, looking to where Sydni was staring. As he looked up, he saw the most beautiful castle in clouds painted on the ceiling. "Brooke, look?" Lucas said, placing Sydni in her crib which Nathan had been so kind to make for him. Lucas made a mental note to himself to thank Nathan for that later.

"Lucas, did you do this?" Brooke asked, knowing full well that her husband had many talents, but to be able to paint something like this was way beyond him. "Wait, what am I saying? Do you smell something?" Brooke walked out the door and Lucas followed her, only to run in 20 seconds later, remembering that he had to make sure that Sydni was with them now. Luke came back into the kitchen to find Brooke and Payton embraced in a hug.

"Lucas, Payton made us dinner!" Brooke said, showing Lucas the massive amounts of food.

"And Lunch for the next 3 weeks it looks like." Lucas stared at all the tupperware containers, color coated. "Thanks pay!" Lucas said, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"I'm glad I could help. So, did you see the other present?" Payton asked, taking Sydni for the first time from Lucas. Only Nathan had been able to hold her, but it was becausea nurse had mistaken him for Lucas.

"Payton, it's beautiful, perfect!" Brooke said, snuggling next to Lucas.

"Thanks guys, so is she. Hi Sydni," Payton said in her high pitched baby voice. "I'm your Aunt Payton. You look just like your mommy, do you know that?" Brooke walked up to Payton and gave her another hug. "What was that for?" Payton asked, handing the baby back to Lucas.

"I just haven't had any girl time with you in forever." Brooke said, giving Lucas a puppy dog face. "It's too bad that you're here and I can't spend any bonding time with my best friend!"

Lucas took the hint. He decided to take Sydni upstairs for some daddy daughter time. He laid with her on Brooke and his' bed watching the basketball game. He lifted Sydni's tiny arms in the air, cheering for the Illini as they pounded Louisville into the ground. All of the sudden Sydni started to scream. Not a regular cry like Luke thought that she would make, but rather a full body scream, she was shaking and turning red. Lucas didn't want to bother Brooke, and he wanted to show her that he could take care of Sydni all by himself. "Shhh, what's wrong baby girl?" Lucas asked, picking her up and placing her on his shoulder. He rubbed her back in circles and bounced her for a while, but to no avail.

Lucas walked into Sydni's room, trying to think of why she was crying. "Ok, you just ate before we left the hospital, so you shouldn't need to eat. All you do is sleep, so you don't need a nap." Sydni cried louder and harder, telling Lucas to hurry up. "Ok, daddy's going to change your diaper." Luke almost passed out as he successfully changed his first dirty diaper. "That wasn't so bad." Lucas said as he changed Sydni into a little UNC baby outfit to get her ready for the game. It was a baby sized cheerleading outfit that the squad had gotten Brooke as a shower gift.

Sydni had began to calm down, until Lucas put her in her crib so that he could go to the bathroom. As soon as he left, she began to cry again, starting with a slight whimper. Lucas quickly got to her before she started to get hysterical again. As soon as he picked her up, she began to calm down again. "Just like your mommy aren't you, you have to be the center of attention." Lucas walked to the glider and started to rock Sydni. She soon fell asleep and Lucas placed her in the mosses basket and took her downstairs.

"Hey Bro.." Brooke was interrupted by Luke making a shushing sound and putting his index finger to his lips. Brooke walked over to them and sat down next to Lucas on the couch. Lucas had the game on, but had the sound muted so that it wouldn't wake Sydni up.

"Guys, I gotta go. Jake's probably pulling his hair out being with Jenni since this morning. Bye guys!" Payton said, hugging Lucas and Brooke as she grabbed her keys. She gave Sydni a kiss and quickly shut the door behind her, leaving the new family to themselves.

Brooke showered while Lucas watched the game. Sydni eventually woke up when Lucas accidently yelled as North Carolina advanced to the finals to play Illinois, just like he predicted! "In your face Nathan!" He screamed, and so did Sydni. Lucas picked her up and walked into her room. They sat down in the glider and eventually, they both fell asleep. "Brooke was totally right with this one" He thought right before he drifted off to sleep. Brooke walked into the family room but she couldn't find Lucas. She walked upstairs and saw that Sydni's lamp was on. She opened the door and found Lucas asleep, with Sydni, awake in his arms. She was just lying there, looking up at Lucas.

"You're being so good for daddy, letting him sleep. Lets wake him up so we can all go to bed." Brooke kissed Lucas, like really kissed him. He woke up and kissed her back. They kept going until Sydni interrupted them. "Come on, let's go nuh-nite." Brooke said. Lucas stood up and they placed Sydni in the mosses basket right next to their bed and they all fell asleep.

Then, it started. The first time Sydni cried, both Brooke and Lucas rushed to her. "Lucas, what's wrong with her?" Brooke cried after trying for 15 minutes to calm Sydni, unsuccessfully. "I'm a horrible mother."

Luke was holding a screaming Sydni in his arms and trying to comfort Brooke at the same time. At this point, seeing his two girls hysterical, he started balling too. "Look, now I'm crying." Lucas said, sitting on the bed next to Brooke. "Ok, we've tried bouncing, rocking, and changing her. Did you try and feed her?"

Brooke looked down, ashamed at her self. "I can't do it!" She cried as she fell on the bed.

"Can't do what?"

"I can't feed her. I'm a horrible mother who can't even feed her own daughter!" Brooke was hysterical, and Lucas couldn't handle it. He set Sydni down, and decided to focus on Brooke.

"What do you mean you can't feed her? I've seen you, trust me, there's enough in there." Lucas said, staring at Brooke's chest.

"Lucas, snap out of it! That was when a nurse was helping me." Brooke looked at Lucas who looked like she was speaking ancient Hebrew. "You know, she was HELPING me," Brooke said as she demonstrated how the nurse had helped her start feeding Sydni. After Sydni would latch on, the nurse would stroke Brooke's breast until Sydni was eating consistently.

"Well, I can help you there!" Lucas said, smiling and kissing Brooke. "We're going to do this together, just ask for help ok?" Brooke nodded her head, and Lucas picked up Sydni. Brooke got comfortable in the glider and then got Sydni to latch on. "Like this?" Lucas asked, embarrassed that he was asking his wife how to touch her boob. Brooke nodded and Lucas had to take deep breaths to control himself. He couldn't help it. Brooke was beautiful all over, and seeing her feeding there daughter was too. Soon Sydni had gotten into a rhythm and Brooke was fine on her own. Lucas kept Brooke company, and soon Sydni had fallen asleep.

Brooke laid her down in her mosses basket and curled up next to Lucas, who had already fallen a sleep. The next time, Brooke and Lucas decided that it would work better if they worked as a tag team. They took turns when she would cry. Lucas would get up the next time, most likely to change her diaper. He walked her and rocked her until she fell asleep. Three hours later, it was Brooke's turn to repeat the cycle, feeding Sydni first, since Lucas couldn't do that, (but he did help.) This went on for about 3 more times, until finally, it was morning. Brooke and Lucas were lucky that Sydni would sleep until 9 before really wanting to getup for the day.

They ended up making it through the first night alone. "Hey." Lucas said, kissing Brooke as she fed Sydni. "We did it, all by ourselves." He said, yawning. He picked out clothes for Sydni and took her from Brooke so she could shower.

"Hey Lucas," Brooke called out from the shower. Lucas's head appeared with Sydni on his shoulder. "Can your mom come tonight?" Lucas giggled and nodded his head. He called his mom to tell her that they wanted to cash in their gift, and she was more than thrilled. So was Andy, who was tired of hearing about how they were going to need her help, and was thrilled that they asked already.

They ate breakfast and Lucas took a shower. Than, the madness started. Every time they had put Sydni down for a nap, or she had gotten settled eating (they had discovered that she was a very fussy eater. Lucas had to stay with Brooke because Sydni would cry if she couldn't see both of them) the doorbell or phone would ring. Even if that hadn't phase her, which was usually when she was with Brooke or Lucas, all the people trying to take her picture and pick her up would get her crying. Boy, did she have a set of lungs. But who could blame her. She'd just been born 5 days ago, and I don't think anyone would like all of those flashing lights going off in your face.

Bevin came in to the family room with a screaming Sydni, flailing her arms in the air. "What did I do?" Bevin asked, handing the baby to Brooke.

"Sorry, she's a little fussy right now." Brooke said as she gave Sydni a pacifier, which combined with being held by Brooke, calmed her down. They had all quickly discovered that she would only settle down if she was with Brooke or Lucas. Usually, Karen, Deb, and even Andy were good substitutes.

This went on all morning. By lunch, Karen had put a sign on the door that said 'NEW BABY! SHUSH!' That was working so far for the doorbell and the phones didn't bother her as much. Haley and Nathan had come over for lunch, leaving Ashley sleeping at home. She had been really tired lately, and they all thought that she needed her sleep more than the socialization.

"Karen, why don't you go, I'll oversee things from here." Haley said, kissing Karen and shutting the door behind her. Haley walked into the sports room to find Nathan playing Play Station 2. "Where are they?" Haley asked?

"Look in the kitchen." Nathan said, giggling as he watched Haley's expression to their friends. Brooke was falling asleep, her elbow on the island and head in her hand. Lucas had passed out face first in his sandwich. Haley and Nathan laughed, waking the two up.

"What, what's going on?" Lucas said, very confused as to why his pillow looked like a turkey sandwich.

"I think that you two need a nap" Haley said, hugging Brooke.

Nathan walked over to Lucas and quickly added, "and a shower, yeah defiantly a shower."

"Ok, Sydni is sleeping in the family room, she should be out for another half hour at the least, you two go up and sleep. We can hold down the fort for now." Haley said, sending Brooke and Lucas up the stairs, both barley able to make it without holding on to the other.

Nathan walked behind his wife and put his arms around her pregnant belly. "Did you just say holding down the fort?" He asked, giggling along with her as she playfully slapped him.

Sydni woke up about an hour later, but Haley grabbed her before she could cry more than a whimper. There was only one problem. "Nathan!" Haley quietly called.

"What's up?" Nathan asked, finding a very fussy Sydni, and a very upset Haley sitting on the couch.

"She hates me, and I'm her aunt!" Haley cried into Nate's shoulder.

"Haley, have you thought about the fact that there is no room for her on your stomach. The books say that she likes to be held close to your heart so that she can her your heart beat. It helps remind her of the womb." Nathan recited, and then retorted after Haley gave him a look. "At least, that's what I've heard."

Haley shook her head as she gave Sydni to Nathan. "Well, your child is making me have to pee, again." Nathan rolled his eyes, "And then I'm going to call Ashley. Can you watch her until then?" Haley said, giving Nathan a kiss as he nodded his head.

Nathan was hesitant to hold his niece at first, but when Haley kissed him, he knew that he had no choice. Lately, he learned that he shouldn't question a pregnant women, ever!

Lucas woke up from his nap to find Brooke sound asleep. He decided to quietly shower and go downstairs so that Brooke could sleep. When he came down, he saw what Haley had seen an hour before she had gone upstairs to the guest room to lay down. Luke found Nate and Sydni sleeping soundly. Lucas grabbed his video camera and began to film. "It's Sydni's first full day at home, she's 5 days old and she's already got her uncle wrapped around her little finger." He narrated, whispering so he didn't wake Sydni up. It was only after he had put the camera down that he noticed Sydni awake and looking at him. Usually at this point, she would be hysterical, but she wasn't. Sydni laid awake in Nathan's arms, staring at Lucas for 20 minutes without making a sound. Lucas knew at that moment, that Nathan was his secret weapon! "Wait till Brooke hears this! But if I tell anyone else, than it won't work anymore!" He took Sydni away from Nathan and took her upstairs to tell Brooke.

"So," Brooke said, playing with Sydni, who was lying on her back on Brooke and Lucas's bed. Lucas was video taping. "You like your uncle Nathan don't you? I always knew he was good for something other than basketball." Lucas put down the camera and he and Brooke just played with Sydni for a while.

They were having a great time just being a family, until the phone rang. "Nathan or Haley will get it, I need to feed her." Brooke said, picking up Sydni and walking towards the door followed by Lucas.

"Wait up."Lucas said, and Brooke was laughing. Then she stopped, and looked at Lucas. They both saw the same thing. Haley came out of the guest room hysterically crying with Nathan right behind her.

"Guys, that was the hospital." Nathan said, grabbing their coats.

Brooke and Lucas looked at each other and in unison said "Ashley."
