A/N: Thank you for reviewing. I have decided to satisfy everyone because it seems half want me to skip ahead and the other half want more of Cody as a baby, so I'm going to have a few more chapters before I skip ahead three years. This should keep all my fans happy.
Disclaimer: The song I'm going to use in this chapter is Loser. It belongs to 3 doors down from their first album.
Enjoy!
Chapter Four
The next morning Lucas sat in the kitchen feeding Cody his bottle while eating his own breakfast of coffee and toast. It was Friday and he had to finish and pack Cody's baby bag so he could drop him off before school. Then there was a knock on the kitchen door.
"Come in," Lucas called.
The door opened and in stepped Lucas's little brother Nathan.
"Hey Nate," Lucas greeted.
"Hey," Nathan mumbled.
Nathan had a sullen look and it worried Lucas. He had never seen his brother so down before.
"What's the matter?" Lucas asked.
Nathan took a seat in a chair across from Lucas.
"Haley left," replied Nathan.
"What? Why?" Lucas asked.
"Chris came back and offered Haley a spot on the tour. She told me about it and I kinda told her if she went then she wasn't welcome back. So she left," Nathan explained.
"Why don't we cut school and go down to the river court and play out our frustrations," Lucas suggested.
"Okay," Nathan agreed.
"Let me just call my Mom."
"She won't be mad that your cutting?"
"She'll understand."
Lucas handed Cody to Nathan so Nathan could finish feeding him. Lucas left the room. Nathan looked down at Cody and was amazed at how much Cody looked like Lucas.
"So little guy. I'm your Uncle Nate. When your older I'm going to teach you how to play basketball because we all know that your Uncle is better at it then your Daddy ever will be," Nathan said placing the finished bottle on the table.
Cody giggled and smiled a smile that was exactly like Lucas's smile. Lucas came back in carrying a baby bag.
"Ready to go?" Lucas asked.
By the time they got to the river court they had Brooke, Peyton, Jake, Jenny, Mouth, and Skills. But to Nathan's dismay no Haley. Brooke took Cody from Lucas and Peyton took Jenny from Jake. They sat on the side. The boys decided it would be Nathan and Jake against Lucas and Skills. Mouth sat behind Peyton and Brooke pretending to be the announcer.
"So what's going on with you and Lucas?" Peyton asked Brooke.
"I don't know. We've been taking it slow. Neither one of us want to get hurt again and Lucas has to think about Cody now," replied Brooke.
"Well if it makes you feel better I won't make out with him," Peyton assured her.
"That makes me feel so much better," Brooke said sarcastically while rolling her eyes.
Mouth stood up.
"Holy shit…"
"Mouth there are little ones here," Brooke scolded.
"I'm sorry Brooke, but it's Whitey," Mouth exclaimed.
Before they could run Whitey came over to the ones on the side. The boys were so into their game they didn't even notice Whitey.
"Thought I'd find all of you out here," Whitey told them.
"It's for good reasons that we're cutting."
"And what might they be."
Brooke motioned for Whitey to come closer so Nathan didn't over hear their conversation.
"Haley left Nathan to go on tour with Chris," Brooke told him.
"Poor boy," Whitey said, "I know what will cheer him up."
"What?" Peyton asked.
Whitey didn't say anything. He just got up and called the boys over. Nathan, Lucas, Jake, and Skills were surprised to see him their but they gathered around.
"What's up couch?" they all asked.
"Now I got some good news," Whitey said.
"What's that?" Nathan asked dryly.
"The principal Mr. Hendrix got a call from a school in Connecticut. It's called Chilton. It's in the town over from Stars Hollow. We are going to give them six students and we're going to get six students from them. I was given the responsibility of choosing the students. So all of you except for Skills since he doesn't go to our school are gong to go their next week," Whitey explained.
"What about Cody?" Lucas asked.
"And Jenny?" Jake added.
"They're going with you. I'm coming so I can watch them while your busy."
"Were are we gong to stay?"
"At this hotel in Stars Hollow called the Dragon fly inn."
"So when are we leaving?" Nathan asked.
"Monday. Don't worry I talked to all you parents," Whitey told them, "And they've all agreed to let you go."
"Wait you said six were going," Brooke pointed out, "Who's the sixth?"
"Erica, the old president."
A/N: What did you think about it? There will be drama coming. Lot's of it.
