What's The Use?
Chapter Nine: Best Days
"Karina and Clarissa let's go and stop the fighting." Brooke yelled. It's been a long ten years since the triplets where born, and eight and a half years since Brooke and Lucas got back together.
-FLASHBACK-
"Oh god I can't be doing this again." Brooke said walking back and forth around the room.
"Brooke breathe." Haley laughed. "You did this once, I think you could do it again."
"I not like you Hales, I can't get married twice in one year. "
"Mommy pretty!" Allie smiled.
"So are you my little pretty girl." Brooke smiled kissing Allie's curly hair.
"Mom!" Eight-year-old Landon yelled walking into the room.
"Landy what's wrong?"
"Shannon won't leave me alone!"
"Shannon leave Landon alone, Landon you should be with your father."
"It's boring in there and Matt won't leave me alone." Landon complained.
"Landon stop the complaining and go." Brooke laughed playing with the beautiful white Cinderella dress.
"Brooke stop it now." Haley laughed.
"I can't go threw with this." Brooke said.
"Momma?" Clarissa said wabbaling over to her mother from where her and Karina where playing with there toys.
"Come here Riss." Brooke smiled putting her arms out for her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter.
"Mommy pretty right Rissy?" Shannon smiled. "Me pretty flower girl."
"Momma!" Clarissa smiled clapping her tiny hands together.
"You all look pretty. Very pretty." Brooke said with a smile.
"I prettier!" Allie smiled proudly.
"Are Not!"
"Are Too!"
"Allie and Shannon you both are the prettiest. Okay now stop the fighting." Brooke begged.
"Mommy." Allie and Shannon pouted at the same time.
"Girls." Brooke said copying them.
"Momma!" Karina cried from where she was on the floor. She had to at least have some attention on her or else she would cry.
"What's wrong Baby Girl?" Brooke laughed lifting Karina into her arms.
"Momma." The brunette smiled.
"Of course you just want attention just like Allie used to do." Brooke laughed.
-END FLASHBACK-
"Mom can't we each have our own room. Matt and Landon have their own." Clarissa complained.
"Riss not now, please?"
"That's cause they like us better." Matthew smirked.
"Matthew cut it out." Lucas said walking down the stairs with the three-year-old and the five-year-old walking next to him, surprises to the Scott's in his arms.
"Daddy?" Karina smiled doing the puppy eyes to Lucas.
"Oh God this isn't good." Lucas laughed to himself. "What do you want now Kar?"
"Can I please, pretty please?"
"Get with it Karina." Lucas laughed.
"Can I go to the mall with Meredith?" Karina asked with a smile.
"Karina Isabelle Scott I said no already." Brooke yelled.
"Mom come on."
"Yeah mommy." Henry Lucas Scott smiled from his father's arms. The baby surprise of the Scott's, at three-years-old it was true to say that he was going to look exactly like Lucas, but except for the dimpled smile his mother gave to him.
"Yeah please Mommy. We can play with her stuff if she goes." Five-year-old Jeffery smirked evilly. Jeffery William Scott. The wild child of the boys, he likes to climb and destroy anything he can get his hands on. Born exactly nine months after Brooke and Lucas decided they needed a little vacation from six kids.
"Stay away from my things Annoying One." Karina yelled.
"Mine too!" Clarissa yelled, for once agreeing with her sister.
"Guys you're supposed to be on our side." Lucas sadly said.
"But I don't know?" Henry said confused.
"Keep your mouth shut dummy." Jeffery laughed.
"Jeffery William Scott."
"Mommy he makes himself sound dumb." Jeff pouted, he never really like when Brooke or Lucas (or maybe even the seven siblings he does have) yell his name.
"Daddy!" Henry cried into Lucas' arms.
"Jeff say your sorry now!"
"I not sorry." Jeff smirked, looking exactly like his mother at that moment.
"Timeout now." Lucas said pointing to a little rug in the corner of the kitchen labeled by all the kids, the timeout rug.
"I hate you daddy!" Pouted Jeffery as he made his way to the rug, stomping all the way.
"Don't try so hard, you might hurt yourself Shan." Allie smirked walking down the stairs.
"Bitch!" Fourteen and a half year old Shannon yelled.
"Shannon watch the language!" Lucas yelled.
"But come on she's being a jerk."
"Shan." Brooke said looking over at her daughter as she placed things on the kitchen table for breakfast. "Allie be nice and quite the picking on everyone just cause we're not letting you go to so and so's party."
"Grr! This family is so annoying!" Allie yelled taking a seat at one of the bar stools lined up at the kitchen counter picking at the fruit in the bowel.
"Al stop we're having breakfast soon."
"Morning Momma." Henry smiled jumping from Lucas' arms to his mothers.
"Morning Baby Boy." Brooke smiled, a smile that matched her son's right down to those two cute little dimples on either side of his face. "Breakfast is served."
"Morning you." Lucas laughed kissing Brooke on the lips. It was rare for a time that they could actually talk to each other; after all they are the parents of very busy eight kids.
"Morning. Landon let's go!" Brooke yelled.
"Cheery there is no way you are going to get an seventeen-year-old up before eight on a Saturday."
"He sleep's to much."
"He's a teenager." Lucas laughed. "Just let him be."
-FLASHBACK-
"Jeff, baby don't eat the sand." Brooke laughed as she wiped the sand out of the one-year-olds hand.
"Yummy." Jeff laughed.
"Babe. You don't eat the sand."
"Momma some?" Jeffery laughed giving some to Brooke.
"No thank you. Now please stop eating the sand."
"It good."
"I give up." Brooke laughed.
"Mommy." Clarissa laughed running over to Brooke.
"What babe?"
"Hide me daddy tickling us."
"Really?"
"Mommy shh! He is going to find me."
"To bad he's coming this way Riss. Go run." Brooke yelled as Clarissa, or known as Riss most of the time, listened and ran away.
"Why in the world is he eating sand?"
"I don't know why that boy does the things he does." Brooke laughed.
"Well I better get back to chasing them around."
"Oh god." Brooke said when she saw Allie push Karina down in the sand.
"Mommy." Cried Karina when she ran over to Brooke and Lucas.
"I'll deal with it. Go chase Riss around."
"Ok."
"Babe what happened?"
"Allie pushed me down."
"Kar calm down ok?"
"Ok." The girl said as Brooke wiped the tears away.
"Allie get over here right now."
"What mommy?" the eight-year-old asked running over to Brooke and Haley.
"You know what Allie."
"I do?" questioned Allie.
"Oh yes you do. Now tell me why'd you push Rissa?"
"Cause she's a meanie poo." Clarissa said.
"Clarissa."
"Cause she was being mean." Allie pouted.
"That doesn't mean you touch anyone. Now say your sorry and go help Karina tickle daddy." Brooke said before Allie and Clarissa said goodbye and they ran off after Luke.
"Cheery help me." Lucas screamed from where he got pulled down to the sand by Shannon, Allie, Matthew, Clarissa and Karina. Landon on the other hand was out surfing.
"Come on baby boy we got to go save daddy." Brooke laughed picking up Nathan and walking over to Lucas and the rest of their bunch.
"Pretty Girl help."
"I don't think I want to."
"Please."
"Fine. Kids get off of him. Go do something"
"Mom you ruin the fun." Shannon said with a pout.
"Go run around." Lucas laughed.
"Dada yummy." Jeffery laughed taking some of the sand off of Lucas.
"There's something wrong with that boy."
"You think I just figured that out?" Brooke laughed.
-End Flashback-
"Oh I miss the days when they where all little." Brooke sadly said. Her kids were growing up way to fast for Brooke's liking.
"Of course. Not all of them can talk." Lucas laughed.
"That's a pretty good thing." Brooke laughed along looking at the table where the seven youngest where sitting laughing together, actually only five – Karina and Clarissa where still mad at one thing or another.
"Momma can I gets outs now?" Jeffery asked with a cute little dimpled smile on his face from the corner of the kitchen.
"Promise not to call any one a dummy?"
"But he was one!" Jeff stated.
"Jeffery."
"Fine I won't call anyone a dummy even if they are one." Jeffery cried.
"Jeffery stop with the tears." Brooke laughed. The fake tears thing was getting old.
"Doesn't anyone stay quiet in this house?" Landon complained walking down the stairs.
"Landy!" Henry smiled running over to his older brother.
"Hey annoying one." Landon smirked picking up his younger brother.
"Landon be nice." Lucas said taking a seat at the head of the kitchen table.
"Daddy I am annoying." Henry giggled.
"See." Landon laughed.
"Guys just come eat." Brooke said with a proud smile on her face.
"Get away from me!" Shannon yelled again.
"Shan you complain more then your mom and that's sad." Lucas said getting slapped in the back of the head by Brooke's hand.
"Tell her to stay away from me or maybe just finish the attic like you promised." Shannon pointed out.
"Hey I want the attic!" Karina yelled.
"No one is getting the attic!" Lucas said. "Your mother and me decided that no one is getting the attic!"
"But come on Dad you promised me." Shannon pouted.
"Shannon we didn't promise anything." Brooke pointed out. All of the older kids have been begging for them to fix up and finish the attic or the basement so at least two kids had their own room. Brooke being the mom she is wouldn't let that happen. No way are any of her kids living in the basement or the attic.
"I hate this family. It's so unfair. Why don't Landon and Matt have to share? That's just plane unfair. I have to share with the brat."
"Shannon! Enough is enough. Drop the basement and attic rooms. Okay?" Lucas said.
"It's unfair!"
"It kind of is Dad." Clarissa pointed out. "Why do the boys each get their own rooms and we have to share?"
"Guys we settled this when we moved here. Allie and Shannon are sharing and Karina and Riss you're sharing and that's finally."
"We get attic?" Jeffery smiled goofy.
"Yeahs!" Henry said following his brother not really knowing what he was talking about.
"No way are my babies sleeping in that attic." Brooke said sternly.
"Big boys!" Henry smiled throwing his cheerios in the air.
"Welcome to the best days ever." Lucas smiled whispering into Brooke ears.
"Nothing could ever get better then this."
Everyday
Of our lives,
Wanna find you there,
Wanna hold on tight
Gonna run
While we're young
And keep the faith
Everyday
From right now,
Gonna use our voices and scream out loud
Take my hand
Together we
Will celebrate,
Celebrate
Oh, everyday
X-X-X-X-X
