A/N Hey everyone! So it's been a couple months, but after all that's been going on OTH I was in need of a Brucas fix...so here we go! This will take place after all Haley's babies are home and about 2 months old and Tammy's about a month old!

Chapter 22 The Scotts Move Next Door

Haley sat in the car smiling, all her babies were out of the hospital and even though they had been moved next door Haley had spent so much time at the hospital, she felt very disconnected from the house and the neighborhood. Now Brooke and Peyton were throwing a welcome home party for little Becca. She had come through the surgery with flying colors and was now 100 healthy. "Well little one, let's go and join daddy and your brothers and sister." She got out of the car and picked up her baby girl.

"Hey Hales!" Haley turned and saw Brooke coming across the street with a stroller and two happy little boys holding onto it. She was like supermom, and Haley hoped that she could be like that.

Brooke told the boys to run on inside and find their daddy, "Hey guys, Brooke, Tammy." Haley said giving Brooke a hug. "You are like Supermom, three kids and not a hair out of place."

Brooke smiled, "Trust me…it takes work and you'll be a supermom too Haley and if ya ever need help, a shoulder to cry on, or even a shopping spree with kids or without then I'm right across the street."

"Thanks Brooke, now let's go inside and show off my little girl!" Haley said planting a kiss on Becca's brown curls. She looked so much like her daddy,

The dinner party was more fun then any of them had had in a long time, Brooke was feeding Tammy and watching the boys as they played basketball with their daddy and their Uncles.

Peyton and Haley found her and sat down next to her, "Gah ya know I feel like I'm so left out, now you and Haley are living together, Jake and I are taking the kids back home tomorrow, Jenny's already missed so much school. I am really gonna miss you guys!" Peyton said wiping a tear from her cheek.

"Come on Peyt, you won't be left out, we're going to spend a ton of time together as the kids grow up, and we'll miss you too." Brooke said and Haley nodded giving their friend a tight hug.

Brooke was sound asleep by the time that Lucas had gotten out of the shower, she looked so sweet and peaceful. He slipped on his boxers and kissed her cheek, then he walked into Tammy's room and checked on her, she was sleeping soundly. She was beautiful with dark brown hair and bright blue eyes and her mommy's sweet dimples. "Sweet dreams baby girl."

Lucas walked into the boys' rooms, thankfully Austin's nightmares had ceased and he was finally sleeping through the night again along with his brother. He kissed each check and said good night.

When he came back into his and Brooke's room she was wide awake, "The kids sound asleep?" She asked as he crawled into bed beside her.

"Yep, out like a light and if I remember right you and I make up for lost time." He said kissing her neck. Brooke laughed softly and slid a hand over his shorts. "I've missed this pretty girl."

"So have I." Brooke said softly kissing his chest, "Damn Broody you really have missed me." Soon she was naked beneath him.

They made love through the night until Tammy woke up for her usual late night snack, Brooke laughed and kissed his cheek. "Well our daughter seems to need me now more than you and you should get some sleep, you've got practice in the morning."

Brooke slipped on a robe and walked into Tammy's room, "What's wrong little pretty girl?" She asked lifting into her arms, she sat in a chair and held her daughter against her breast. She loved breast feeding, she hadn't been able to when the boys were newborns so now she got to experience this wonderful bond with her daughter. "Hope that it's yummy for ya,"

Thirty minutes later her daughter was sound asleep, Brooke checked on her sons and then crawled into her own bed. Lucas was sound asleep, she had definitely worn him out. He slipped an arm around her pulled her close to him.

Haley woke Nathan up early the next morning so that he could go and get Lucas and they could go to basketball practice together. "Wake up sleepy head." She said holding Jamie in her arms.

Nathan opened one and smiled seeing his wife and son, "Hey babe…and Jamie." He said sitting up and taking the baby in his arms, "This is Jamie right?" He said jokingly.

Haley slapped his arm playfully, "Very funny, now get a shower and get ready to pick up Lucas, I just called and he's almost ready and he sounded very happy."

Nathan laughed, Lucas had told him yesterday at the dinner that the doctor had finally given the okay for him and Brooke to make love. "Yeah I bet he is."

After Nathan left, Haley fed the babies and changed diapers, sometimes it seems like that was all she did. Glancing out the window she saw Brooke putting the twins and baby in the car, she knew that Brooke was going to drop the twins off at daycare since it was Monday and then she was on her way to the boutique with Tammy. Haley envied her, while she loved being with her babies, she missed adult conversation during the day…no wonder so many stay at home moms were addicted to soap operas.

By noon she was wondering if she was slowly going insane, when one baby stopped crying the other started. Nathan and his mom had been taking care of the other kids while she'd been at the hospital with Rebecca, he had been able to cope with this and get them on a schedule and now she was having a hard time just getting them to all be quiet at one time.

At two o'clock she saw Brooke pulling into the driveway across the street, "Brooke!" she screamed out the window. Thankfully Brooke turned and picked up the baby carrier and came quick across the street.

"Tutor girl what's wrong?" Immediately Haley's eyes filled with tears and she handed a screaming Devin to Brooke.

"All day they've cried and cried and I feel like I've changed a million diapers, I can't do this! I'm a horrible mom!"

Brooke took them all inside and soon she got Devin settled down in a baby doughnut, she was glad that she had come home to eat lunch instead of going to the McDonalds. "Okay now first calm down, 'cause it just upsets them even more when you're upset."

"Oh Brooke, I've been looking forward to the day when I could home with all four of them, but now I'm feeling so overwhelmed, Nathan made this all seem so easy and that was without Becca being here, he had them on a schedule and gah I can't even get them to all stop crying at one time." She cried as another baby started crying.

Brooke glanced down at Tammy who was sound asleep, "Alright Tammy and I will spend the rest of the day here…but you need to talk to Nathan, they don't have practice tomorrow but a game tomorrow night, so he can help you."

"Thanks so much Brooke!" Haley said going upstairs to get the crying baby, Brooke was right behind her as another baby cried.

When Nathan and Lucas pulled into Nathan's driveway, "Daddy why are we here?" Seth asked from the backseat. Brooke had called and asked him to pick up the boys from daycare.

"I don't know, Mommy's here with Tams though." Lucas said getting him out of the car seat.

Brooke was helping Haley with dinner when the guys came in, "Mommy!!!" The boys yelled happily running into Brooke's arms.

"Hey you guys! I totally missed you today!" She said giving them kisses and hugs, she hated being away from them all day even when they were just there three days a week.

"We totally missed you too!" Austin said happily, "Hey Tammy." He said walking up to where his sister was lying on a blanket, she looked up at him and cooed happily.

"Well Broody and my little Broody's, we're eating dinner with Haley and her brood." Brooke said smiling as Austin sat next to his sister and kissed her cheek.

Lucas saw it too, and smiled, "Alrighty baby now let me see my little girl."

After Brooke and Lucas left with their kids, Nathan started the schedule of bathing the babies.

Haley came into the bathroom and sat down on the closed toilet, "Nate…can we talk?"

"Well that doesn't sound good, what's wrong babe? You aren't dumping me for some hot guy are ya?" He asked smiling.

"Yeah right." Tears filled her eyes, "Today after you left it was awful, the babies cried and cried and when I'd get one down another would cry. I'm a horrible mother!"

Nathan sighed softly and lifted Jamie out of the bath water, then he turned to his wife. "I shouldn't have left today, I didn't think that you hadn't really been alone with all them before." After getting a diaper on a happy Jamie he went and got his brother ready for a bath and brought a card board schedule that his mom and Karen had made for the babies. "Here, look at this. It's been in their closet 'cause we got used to everything, it's a schedule that Karen and Deb made for them so that these days don't happen again."

Haley looked at it and sighed, "They were upset 'cause they were off this right?" He nodded, "Can I bathe him?" Nathan smiled, and handed the baby to her.

"Look over that, I'll be home until the practice game tomorrow, so I can help you, now stop all this worrying, you're a wonderful mom." Nathan gave her a kiss on the cheek, "I love you baby."
