A/N: Woot…it was my first day of school today…yah! I already got tons of homework lol! So please bear with the lack of updates and the chapters that suck…

"Bye mom!" Madison and Hayden chorused.

"Bye Maddie, bye Haydie! I love you! Don't have too much fun and be good for Haley!" Brooke called over her shoulder, blowing her two children kisses.

"I'll report to you on the gossip…I'll call from my cell if it's major" Madison winked. Brooke gave her a thumbs up and blew another kiss to Hayden, who looked utterly embarrassed but had a subtly pleased look on his face.

"That was too easy" Brooke giggled, kissing Lena. "Wasn't it Lenny, baby?"

"Brooke, that's horrible!" Lucas laughed, kissing her and then Lena. "But now we get to spend time with our baby" he said, kissing Lena again and taking her from her mother.

"I think she needs her diaper changed" Brooke said, leading the way to the room that had been redecorated for Lena.

"Ok…baby do you miss Maddie? And Haydie?" Lucas asked, laughing and kissing her. Lena cooed contentedly and grabbed Lucas's shirt.

"Aw she's so cute" Brooke giggled. "My baby, of course"

"Hey! She's mine too"

"I gave birth to her" Brooke said indignantly.

"True" Lucas said, handing Lena to Brooke, who changed her.

"Omg Lucas lets draw a mustache on her" Brooke laughed, taking a soft tipped pen and drawing a mustache on Lena.

"Brooke! Are you sure that wont hurt her skin?" Lucas said.

"I'm sure she'll be fine, right baby?" Brooke said, taking a red marker and drawing red cheeks on Lena. Lucas burst out laughing and ran to get his camera. They took several pictures of Lena, who looked utterly confused at her parent's strange behavior.

"Brooke…" Lucas laughed, kissing her. "Only you…your mommy is crazy, Lena!" Lucas said, bending down to tickle his little girl.

"She's so cute" Brooke said. "Look, she looks like you and me…blonde hair and hazel eyes…boys are gonna go crazy over her"

"Uh…not boys already! She's 5 months old!" Lucas laughed.

"She's my hazel eyed beautiful baby" Brooke said, picking the little girl up and cradling her.

"She's so sweet" Lucas said. "I haven't met a sweeter baby. Even Madison and Hayden love her a lot…I thought for sure they'd be resentful when we told them you were pregnant. I think Hayden wanted a brother though…" Lucas said.

"Remember when I told you I was pregnant with Lena?" Brooke asked, recalling the memory and laughing.

"Yah…our 'accident'" Lucas laughed.

"I always planned on an accident that would turn out to be a girl" Brooke said.

"You and your plans Brooke…" Lucas laughed.

"But it was time for another baby anyway…Hayden had been the baby for too long" Brooke giggled. "Hey Lenny did you know you were an accident?"

Lena giggled and stretched her hands out to Lucas. He played with them. "She was a good accident though, huh?" Brooke laughed, kissing Lucas.

"Yes, but no more babies after this" Lucas laughed. "We've got our hands full with Madison and Hayden"

"I love babies though" Brooke said sadly.

"You wanna get fat again and then try to shed that weight?" Lucas asked.

"No…ok no more babies…but I love my Lenny" Brooke giggled, bouncing the baby girl.

"I love my Lenny too" Lucas laughed, kissing Brooke.

"Anthony, my dearest older cousin, we need to talk" Madison said, jumping on his bed and bouncing up and down. Haley and Nathan's house was like her second home, and she treated it just that way.

"Maddie…I have homework"

"So do I, genius, but its called doing it FAST…we need to have a one on one talk"

"Look if this is about Catherine…" Anthony sighed.

"Catherine? What about her?" Madison said, looking at him innocently with her baby blue eyes.

"Not the eyes, Madison…" Anthony said, throwing a sock at her.

"Ew! Dirty sock...you have 30 minutes and then we're having- wait, its Friday, no homework on Fridays, that's Mrs. Green's rule" Madison said suspiciously. "You don't have homework, you're reading Sports Illustrated! Jerk! We have to talk" Madison said, bouncing up and down again.

"What…?" Anthony whined.

"No whining zone, Anthony. Ok…do you like Catherine?" she said.

"I thought this wasn't about her!"

"It is, do you seriously think I have anything else to do? Do you like her?"

"Madison…"

"Anthony, I am your best friend! You HAVE to tell me!"

"Yah, but see, problem is, you're also Catherine's best friend" Anthony pointed out, flipping through the Sport's Illustrated. "And our conversation will be repeated in 30 minutes on your cell phone to her, so I refuse to speak" he laughed.

"Anthony! You have to tell me…like, hmm, or love?" Madison giggled. "I have to know!"

"You are so nosy, you know that?" Anthony laughed; throwing his Sport's Illustrated in the magazine bin.

"Yes, but quit changing the subject…you, Catherine, what's up?" Madison asked.

Anthony sighed, knowing Madison was never gonna give up. "Ok, so I like her…a lot…and we're 12, I know…but still" Anthony said. "She's pretty" he laughed. "And nice"

"Ooh…Catherine's 1 on my speed dial" Madison giggled.

"Madison!"

"Sorry…I'm calling my mother, I promise!" Madison said, showing him the 'calling Mom' flashing on her screen. He sighed and waved her out. Madison giggled when her mother picked up the phone.

"Madison!" Brooke said.

"Mom! Juicy gossip" Madison giggled.

"What?" Brooke shrieked, as excited as a Jr. High student.

"Anthony likes Catherine…and she likes him- its official!" Madison exclaimed.

"Yes! I knew it! You're almost Catherine's sister in law!"

"I know!" Madison shrieked.

"Alright so you work on getting your cousin to ask Catherine out, ok?"

"Ok! Bye mom!"

"Bye diva"

Madison shut off her phone and smiled to herself. She was going to get Catherine and Anthony together…what else did she have to do?

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Hayden! Don't do that" Angelina said, laughing and snatching the book out of his hand. "Its Friday…no work on Fridays! Let's go out and swim"

"In January?"

"Have you heard of an indoor heated pool?"

"Oh that's right! We don't ever use ours…Mom and Madison say its useless cause they can't tan"

"I don't care we don't have to tan…come on!" Angelina said, running to get her bathing suit. "Mom, me and Hayden are going swimming!" she yelled.

"Absolutely not! In January?"

"No! Inside!"

"Oh…don't drown!"

"We won't mom…" Angelina laughed.

"Angelina…" Hayden sighed.

"Let's go!" she shrieked, jumping in the pool. Hayden sighed and followed her in.

"My dear, dear baby sister, we need to chat" Jenny said.

"About?" Catherine asked suspiciously.

"Anthony"

"Oh no…Madison already called and gave me a talk"

"Are you two getting together?" Jenny asked, getting excited.

"Well he likes me…"

"He does? That's a start! But has he asked you out yet?"

"No…" Catherine laughed. "Aren't we a little young to be dating?"

"At 12? That's late…I had a boyfriend at 9"

"That's because you have boobs, a butt, and long swingy hair" Catherine pointed out.

"You'll get there" Jenny laughed. "Don't worry, I was body conscious when I was 12…I was skinny, flat, and didn't have perfect hair" Jenny winked.

"I doubt" Catherine sighed, falling back on her pillow. "I can't wait to be 13…12 sucks"

"Its ok Kitty…I felt that way too…but 13 is when the real problems start, you know? Self image issues, teenage angst"

"Hey! You're 21…don't complain"

"Yah, yah…it's not all its cracked up to be" Jenny laughed. "Plus I don't drink, so…"

"Yah"

"It'll get better once Mr. Hiding From Love asks you out" Jenny assured.

"If he ever asks me out" Catherine sighed.

"Brooke…where are you?" Lucas called.

"Gotcha!" she screamed, spraying silly string all over Lucas. He counter attacked with two cans of silly string.

"LUCAS" Brooke gasped. "You can't double can me…that's a foul"

"A foul? In our silly string fight?" Lucas asked, grabbing her around the waist and kissing her.

"Yes, Lucas Eugene Scott"

"Middle name…" he groaned.

"You use mine freely" Brooke whined, spraying him with silly string.

"But yours is normal"

"Penelope is hardly a normal name" Brooke whined. "It's ugly"

"It's not ugly! You have a beautiful name…a beautiful name for a beautiful girl" Lucas said, kissing her. Brooke giggled and sprayed him some more.

"You think we're disturbing Lena?" Brooke asked.

"Probably" Lucas laughed. "But she's a deep sleeper"

"Like me" Brooke giggled, spraying silly string on him and running down the hallway.

"The pool deck needs to be like warm" Haley said.

"What, so you can tan?" Nathan teased.

"No! I mean warm COLOR, smart one" Haley said, smacking him.

"Well…how about beige?"

"Ew!"

"Maroon?"

"Double ew! I like this warm mahogany color"

"Hales…that looks like…no"

"Nathan!"

"Haley" Nathan laughed, kissing her. "How about we go to bed?"

"Are the kids asleep?"

"Yah…and Maddie and Hayden are on the third floor…" Nathan winked. Haley giggled and kissed Nathan.

"See you in a little bit husband" Haley winked.

A/N: Ok…hopefully the lack of updates aren't too bad and I apologize that the chapters suck right now…but I've got to familiarize myself with characters. I'm SO used to Madison being 3 and Jenny being 12 that I'll often type in Jenny in place of Madison or Catherine. And I know Madison's 12, but I'm 15 and I still call my mother mommy lol…but yah I'll work on that. Like the last story, I knew the characters inside an out, you know? Like even though I made them up, like I got to know them...its weird I sound stupid ok review!
