While the guys were moving the boxes, Brooke and the girls unpacked some of Brooke's things, and Karen fixed supper for all the teens. During supper, they made small talk, but nothing came up about the nicknames. After supper, everyone went and sat in the living room.
"So, now I really want to know about those nicknames," Haley said. Brooke started laughing as Lucas and Nathan groaned.
"Well, Nathan is Pooh because he had this red shirt that he always wore no matter what. He went a whole week without taking it off. Plus he was always hungry, and one day Luke and I came up with the name and it stuck," Brooke said, and Nathan was happy she hadn't mentioned anything else.
"But he did have another name, too," Lucas said, laughing at Nathan's face of horror.
"Oh yea, he was Christopher Robin, too," Brooke said.
"Why," Jake asked worried. Brooke smiled slightly,
"Because I always thought Nate was gay." Everyone started laughing. Before anything else was said, a pillow was thrown and hit Brooke in the head.
"Not funny," Nathan groaned, "What about Luke's nickname?"
"Oh well that's easy. You guys are twins and the names rhymed, so it was perfect," Brooke said.
"WHAT!" Nathan yelled, "That was the only reason?" Brooke and Lucas nodded.
"I can't believe ya'll, Brooke you always told me it was because he was such a mama's boy," Nathan said, causing everyone to laugh.
Nathan knew he was right when he looked over at Brooke and saw her face in her hands. Lucas just looked between the two, and laughed.
"Okay so maybe it was," Brooke finally said, and she and Lucas started laughing.
"Actually, Nate, I always knew that. I'm not that stupid. Brooke couldn't keep anything from me," Lucas said.
"Okay, so we know about the nicknames, but how do ya'll know each other," Felix asked.
"Well, before we moved, we lived next door to Brooke. We practically grew up together. Brooke was always over at our house. Most people thought she was our sister and well she practically was. We never corrected them and most of the time when we went somewhere we said she was our sister," Nathan answered. This shocked Karen. She never heard Brooke mention them.
"Yeah, sometimes I thought Dad loved her more then us," Lucas said jokingly, making Brooke and Nathan laugh. This made Karen smile, finally finding out that Brooke used to have someone to love her raising her.
"So, that's your daughter," Brooke asked Jake, referring to the sleeping baby on the floor. Jake nodded.
"You know your name sounds really familiar for some reason," Brooke informed him, then she realized why. Brooke felt as if someone was choking her, and she couldn't breathe. The room felt small and Brooke knew she had to get out of there. As she stood up, the door bell rang, and Brooke jumped the rest of the way up.
"I'll get it!" she exclaimed, thankful she now had an excuse to leave.
