Note-Aren't Paige and Alyssa cute! Be prepared for major drama this chapter.

Previously-

"Are you two gonna get married, like Auntie Hawey and Uncle Nathan?" Paige asked innocently.


Scene-River court

Brooke and Lucas's mouths hung open as they stared in shock at the 4 year old.

After a minute Paige pulled on the bottom of Brooke's 'Brunettes do it better' shirt. "Mommy are you okay?" she asked sweetly.

Brooke snapped back into reality. "Um, Luke, wanna answer your daughter's question," Brooke replied.

"Well, um, Paige, we don't know if we're going to get married," Lucas explained.

"Plus even if we do get married, we won't be anything like Nathan and Haley. We're not boring," Brooke added.

Paige pulled on Lucas's hoodie.

He looked down.

"I don't know what to call you."

"What do you want to call me?"

She smiled the mischievous Brooke smile. "Can I call you Fuzzy Wuzzy?"

Brooke tried unsuccessfully to hold back her laughter.

"Why don't we stick to daddy."

"Okay!"

"Cheery when do you need to go back to L.A.?" Lucas asked as he picked up Paige.

She squealed in delight.

Brooke smiled. "Tomorrow is our last full day, so we leave the next morning," Brooke replied.

As Brooke and Lucas bonded with Paige, Rachel stood unnoticed behind a tree. That little brat ruined everything. They will pay!


Scene-The next day; Karen's hospital room

Brooke and Lucas walked in with Paige in his arms.

Karen smiled.

"Hey, Ma, how ya feeling?" Lucas asked.

"Ready to go home," she replied.

"Your wish is my command," Keith said.

"Huh?"

"They're releasing you," Keith explained.

"Thank god!"

"Do you want us to take Lyssa to your house for you?" Brooke asked.

"That would be wonderful," Karen replied.

Brooke picked up Lyssa and they left.

Thirty minutes later Keith helped Karen into their car and started driving home. "I have to warn you, they are throwing a welcome home party and a goodbye Lucas party," Keith said.

Karen smiled. "That's sweet."

"Do you think Lucas and Brooke are going to get married?" he asked.

"Yes and I think they will sooner then they expect."

Keith laughed as he parked the car in there drive way. Then helped Karen inside of the house.

The house was decorated with streamers and balloons. The banner said 'Welcome back, Karen'.

"You didn't have to do this," she said.

"Yes we did," replied Haley.

"Can we go play outside?" Alyssa asked.

"Sure, sweetie," Karen replied.

Jenny, Alyssa, and Paige ran outside to play. James sat in his play pen playing with a plushie mini basketball.

A little while later Karen walked into Lucas's old room, now Alyssa's room, and Brooke followed. "This room has had a lot of people live in it," Brooke commented.

Karen smile. "Lucas, you, Lucas again, and Alyssa," she replied.

"I personally think this is the best look for it: pink with Barbies everywhere."

Karen felt tears coming to her eyes.

"Karen, don't cry. We'll visit all the time."

"I know you will. This is the happiest I've seen Lucas in a long time."

Brooke smiled then hugged Karen.

Lucas walked in. "Are you two going to join the party?" he asked.

"We're coming," Karen replied.

Suddenly Jenny screamed.

Everyone went running outside.

"Jenny, what's wrong?" Jake asked.

"Where's Paige?" Brooke cried.

"She took her!" Alyssa screamed.

Brooke nearly fell on the ground when she heard that.

"Who took her?" Lucas asked trying to comfort a hysterical Brooke.

"Rachel," Alyssa replied.


Scene-Rachel's car

"Who are you?" Paige asked tears flowing down her cheeks.

"You are the cause of all my problems," Rachel started to explain.

"My Mommy and Daddy will find me," Paige interrupted confidently.

Rachel pulled over. "You talk too much." She placed duct tape over the 4 year old's mouth and taped her hands together.

My parents will save me…they have too.
