Hey Guys
So here we go, my Internet was down all day, thank goodness it is working now. Or else you wouldn't be reading this right now. I so sorry if I don't showcase the other couples besides Brucas it's just I have an easier time writing them. I will try to show more of everyone. I'm so sorry for dragging this out but Christmas Day will be over two chapters.
PaulineJ: Thank you, I thought they needed some more pictures. I think it was sweet too.
DanaJaycee: I know how work is when I am so you are forgiven. Practical joke what joke. No jokes here all drama (yeah right)! You'll just have to wait and see.
Team Frank: Thank you I just hate writing Dan he's so mean. There for I killed him in this story. And to answer the question about how I write, I handwrite an outline in the morning before classes start and then when I get home I put it straight on the computer I think-type. Hence the error the other night. And you are welcome for the review I really did like it. If you need help with anything let me know my email is on my profile.
Michelsita: Thank you for the review again, I'm glad you liked the Jeyton prank.
Love,
Emily

Upstairs Brooke, Haley, and Peyton were busy filling the adults stockings with the stuff that they had bought during their shopping trip.
"Where are the boys?" Asked Haley.
"Luke said he was tired so he went to bed. Nathan mumbled something that sounded like good night and Jake's putting Jenny to bed. I'm surprised Jenny slept through the mass tonight." Said Brooke.
"I'm surprised too, I thought for sure when I handed her to Lucas when he came back after confirmation she was going to wake up and start crying but she just took over Brooke's spot and settled back down." Said Peyton.
"It's a very good spot." Said Brooke with a smile.
"So I have a question how are we going to get these back downstairs without the adults knowing?" Asked Haley.
"I'll sneak down and put them up before I go to bed." Said Brooke.
"Okay." Said Peyton.
The girls finished what they were doing and Brooke snuck downstairs and quickly put the stockings up and went back upstairs. When she got into the room that her and Lucas were staying in she noticed that they had a little visitor in the bed with him. So she quickly went and told Peyton where Jenny was and that she and Lucas would keep her with them for the night. Peyton and Jake both tried to tell her that they didn't have to, but Brooke insisted. When Brooke went back to the room she noticed Jenny was once again in her 'spot', but didn't mind, she just thought it was cute. So she got her camera and took a picture to show Lucas later.
"Hey Broody?" Said
Brooke quietly.
"Yeah, hey babe you guys done already?" Said
Lucas as he started waking up.
"Yes, they are all hung too, so when did Jenny come in?"
"Um, about 20 minutes ago she came in and said she wanted to say good night to you and she fell back to sleep and I guess I did too. I'll bring her back over to Jake and Peyton."
"Don't I told them that we'd keep her." Said Brooke. "Give them a little break."
"Okay, well do you want me to move over a little so you can lay down?" Asked Lucas.
"No stay there, Jenny can stay in the middle that way she can't fall off the bed without knocking one of us off." Said Brooke.
"Okay well, good night."
"Night." Said Brooke as she kissed him good night.
Meanwhile in Jake and Peyton's room they couldn't believe that Brooke decided to take Jenny for the night.
"Do you think it's strange that Brooke and Lucas decided to keep Jenny in their room tonight?" Asked Peyton.
"No why?" Asked Jake.
"I don't know, I mean I of all people know Brooke has changed a lot, but I never expected her and Lucas to offer to take her overnight." Said Peyton.
"You don't think she's…?" Said Jake.
"No! No she would have told me, besides after everything that happened junior year no they are extremely careful."
"How do you know that?" Asked Jake.
"Brooke's my best friend besides she would have told me if she even thought she was." Said Peyton.
"Okay, let's stop talking about Brooke and Lucas' sex life. It's creeping me out." Said Jake.
"Me too." Said Peyton.
In Nathan and Haley's room they were both so tired that they both fell asleep before their heads hit the pillows.
It was 8 am before any movement sounded in the house, everyone thought Jenny would be up earlier but she was sound asleep between Brooke and Lucas when Peyton went in to check on her. She just laughed and walked out of the room, but before she did she grabbed Brooke's camera and took a picture of them.
"Jenny's not awake yet?" Asked Jake when Peyton came back into the room.
"Still sound asleep in between Luke and Brooke." Said Peyton.
"You think we're the only one's awake?" Asked Jake.
"Probably unless Nathan went for a run?" Said Peyton.
"Oh, I almost forgot Merry Christmas." Said Jake.
"Why Jake Jagielski Merry Christmas to you." Said Peyton as she kissed Jake.
In Brooke and Lucas' room Jenny started to wake up and Brooke noticed immediately.
"Morning sweetheart." Said Brooke.
"Morning." Said Lucas not used to Brooke talking to someone else in the morning.
"Not you, but good morning anyways." Said Brooke.
"Autie Book Santa here?" Asked Jenny.
"I don't know. What do you think Uncle Luke you think Santa's been here yet?" Asked Brooke for Jenny's benefit.
"We won't know until we go down and see, but first we have to go get everyone else up." Said Lucas.
"I say Jenny goes and gets everyone up." Said Brooke.
"I agree, I think we should start with Mommy and Daddy." Said Lucas remembering their wake up call.
"Yay!" Said Jenny as she got off the bed.
"Wait, munchkin let Uncle Luke go with you." Said Lucas as he realized that without a toddler in the room Jake and Peyton might be doing something.
"Okay."
"I hear little feet, pretend your asleep." Said Peyton.
Lucas opened the door quietly and saw Jake and Peyton faking being asleep. He shook his head and let Jenny into the room.
"Mama!" Said Jenny as she jumped on the bed.
"Morning sweetheart, did you have fun with Uncle Luke and Auntie Brooke?" Asked Peyton.
"Uh-huh." Said Jenny.
"I think you should go wake Uncle Nate and Auntie Haley up. What do you think?"
Jenny nodded her head up and down and ran out of the room but she didn't know where to go. She looked up and down the hallway trying to decide which way to go. Lucas, Jake, and Peyton watched this from the doorway of Jake and Peyton's room, and Brooke watched from Lucas and her's room with amusement.
"What's the matter Jenny?" Asked Brooke.
"Where they?" Said Jenny.
"Right here, let me go in first though okay." Said Brooke as she walked into the room and checked she came out and then let Jenny in to wake Haley and Nathan up.
"Hi!" Said Jenny as she sat on the bed after Brooke helped her up on to it.
"Hi munchkin, Morning Brooke." Said Nathan
"Morning Nate, Merry Christmas." Said Brooke.
"Merry Christmas to you, and to you little one, come here." Said Nathan as Jenny crawled up and sat in his lap.
"You woke me up again!" Said Nathan.
"They towlded me to." Said Jenny as she pointed to Brooke.
"I didn't tell her to do anything she said she wanted to wake Uncle Nate up and I just helped her on the bed." Said Brooke innocently.
"Sure." Said Nathan as started to get Haley up. "Hales we have visitors."
"What?" Said Haley as Brooke waved at her.
"Merry Christmas Tutor Girl, now get up!" Said Brooke.
"I'm up is everyone else?" Said Haley.
"Just us kids I don't think the parents are yet." Said Brooke.
"Well I say we go down and make some coffee and wait for them to get up rather than wake them up." Said Nathan.
"I agree." Said Lucas.
The kids all went downstairs and made some coffee and sat around and talked.
"Keith, the kids are awake." Said Karen.
"How do you know?" Asked Keith knowing she was right.
"Because I heard them." Said Karen.
"I heard them too, let's go get everyone else and wait for Whitey to get here and then we'll let them open the presents." Said Keith as he got out of bed he walked out of the room and saw Deb.
"Merry Christmas, Keith did you hear all of our children trying to be quiet this morning?" Asked Deb.
"Merry Christmas to you and yes, I did. At least they attempted to be quiet." Said Keith.
"Is Karen awake?" Asked Deb.
"Uh, yeah she'll be out in a second is Larry?" Said Keith.
"Yeah." Said Deb.
All the parents gathered in the hallway and exchanged Merry Christmas' and decided to go see what their darling children were up to.
"Merry Christmas everyone!" Said Karen.
"Merry Christmas, Mom." Said Lucas as he hugged his mother and the other kids said Merry Christmas.
"So have you all peeked in the living room yet?" Asked Bruce.
"No, we were good we came right into here." Said Brooke.
"There's coffee if anyone wants any." Said Peyton.
"Thank you darling." Said Royal.
"You're welcome." Said Peyton.
"Hello is anyone awake?" Said Whitey as he walked into the house.
"If they weren't they would be now." Said Jake.
"Morning Coach." Said Lucas as he walked out of the kitchen.
"Morning Lucas. Merry Christmas." Said Whitey.
"Merry Christmas to you, would you like a cup of coffee? Asked Lucas.
"If you have some made."
"I think we can handle that." Said Lucas as he and Whitey walked into the kitchen and greeted everyone.
"Merry Christmas everyone." Said Whitey.
"Merry Christmas Coach." Said Nathan.
"Uncle Keith can we open presents now?" Asked Brooke anxious for Lucas to see the books she got him.
"What do you guys think should we let them?" Asked Keith.
"Yeah, why don't we. They can open their stockings first." Said Deb.
"Yay!" Said Jenny not really understanding what was going on.
They all gathered into the living room where Deb noticed that all the adult stockings were back hung in their spots as if they never left.
"Deb, I thought you said you couldn't find the other stockings." Said Karen.
"I couldn't I don't know how they got filled or how they got there." Said Deb.
"Okay is everyone seated where they want to be?" Asked Royal.
"Yes." Yelled back the crowd.
Brooke and Lucas were sharing a chair; Nathan and Haley were next to them in another chair; Jake, Jenny, and Peyton were sitting on the floor, and all the adults were on the couches and love seats that flanked the room.
"Okay, here's Haley, Nathan."
"Thanks Grandpa." Said Nathan.
"Jake, Peyton, and Jenny." Said Royal as he handed them to Jake.
"Thank you."
"Uh, Lucas and Brooke here are yours." Said Royal as he handed them to Brooke.
"Thank you Mr. Scott." Said Brooke.
"Your welcome dear. Keith and Karen there are yours." Said Royal.
"Thanks Dad." Said Keith.
"Mae, here are ours, Deb, Larry."
"Thank you sir." Said Larry.
"Bruce, Lorna, and Whitey." Said Royal handing out the last of them. "Well what are you all waiting for open them up."
All the kids opened theirs and showed them to each other and the amount of candy and chocolate that came out of them you would have thought they went trick or treating. The adults opened theirs and amongst the candy and treats they found hand written notes in them that said:
"To our Rocks
We figured since you do so much for all of us, we should do something for you. We know that one Christmas stocking can't make up for all the years you have given us, but it is a start. We love you!
Love,
Jake, Peyton, Lucas, Brooke, Nathan, Haley, and Jenny."
This note made the mothers tear up and the fathers smile at the kids thought fullness. It was now time for the presents to be handed out and Keith did this honor for the year. He decided to give Jenny a present first.
"Jake here's a present for Miss Jenny." Said Keith.
"Jenny you got a present." Said Peyton.
"Who's it from?" Asked Jake.
"Oh, this one's Grammy and Grandpa." Said Peyton referring to Jake's parents.
"Open it up sweetheart." Said Jake.
"Wook Daddy it book." Said Jenny.
"I see baby it's a LeapStart book, go tell Grammy and Grandpa thank you." Said Jake lifting Jenny up and she ran over to Lorna and Bruce.
"Tank you gammy and gampa." Said Jenny.
"Your very welcome sweetie, but you have more presents to open." Said Lorna.
"Otay."
"Luke, here's one for you man." Said Keith.
"It's from you." Said Lucas to Brooke.
"I hope you like it." Said Brooke knowing it was the books.
Lucas open the wrapping paper and sat in astonishment at the antique book set from John Steinbeck.
"Do you like them?" Asked Brooke knowing he did.
"What, oh my god yeah. Thank you Cheery. Where did you find them?"
"That antique store down the street from the dorm." Said Brooke pleased that she found them.
"Lucas, what are they?" Asked Mae curious at what suddenly made her grandson go quiet.
"They're an antique set of John Steinbeck novels." Said Lucas.
"Haley, this is for you." Said Keith.
"Oh my goodness they're gorgeous." Said Haley looking at the engraved pen set that said Haley James-Scott on them from Royal and Mae.
"We figured that you could use them to correct papers after you start teaching." Said Royal.
"Thank you so much."
"Your welcome." Said Mae.
"Brooke, honey this is for you." Said Keith.
"Thank you."
"It's from you." Said Brooke looking at the tag and seeing Lucas' handwriting.
"I hope you like it." Said Lucas as she opened the box.
"Lucas, this is beautiful. Where did you find it?" Asked Brooke as she showed everyone the antique necklace that Lucas got her.
"Well, I guess we're starting to think alike cause I got it from the antique store down the street from the dorm. I went in there to see the books and I saw that and I immediately thought of you." Said Lucas.
"Will you put it on me?" Asked Brooke.
"Well it doesn't exactly go with my hoody but yes I will." Said Lucas as he fastened the necklace for her.
"Jake here is one for you and Peyton one for you." Said Keith.
"Thanks Keith." Said Jake as he handed Peyton her gift.
"I hope you like it Jake." Noticing that the gift was from her.
"It's beautiful, Peyton." Said Jake as he read the inscription on the men's bracelet that said 'Jeyton & Jenny 4 ever'.
"Well open yours and don't cry." Said Jake knowing Peyton wasn't a crier.
"Jake?" Said Peyton as she saw the ring in the box.
"It a family promise ring. It's all three of ours birthstones in it." Said Jake.
"Thank you, I love it and you." Said Peyton as she hugged Jake.
Royal and Mae gave all three boys gift certificate to Ticket Master that way they could go to concerts or a game if they wanted to.
"Wow, thanks guys, you really didn't have to do this." Said Lucas.
"Nonsense, you three are our grandsons and we didn't know what else to get you guys." Said Mae.
"Thank you so much." Said Jake blown away.
"Your welcome Jake." Said Royal.
"Yeah I'm with Lucas you really didn't have to." Said Nathan.
"You boys work hard all day at school and basketball you deserve to have some fun." Said Mae.
