Lucas slowly made his way through the streets of Tree Hill, making his way to Karen's house. He walked the girls into the tent and told them to get to sleep.
"Hey what were you doing out here?" Karen asked tiredly walking onto the porch.
"Just checking them again," Lucas smiled.
"Don't get too protective," Karen laughed, "So, how have you been since Brooke and October have came back?"
"Well," Lucas said, walking back inside into the living room, "I'm angry, sad, happy, excited and nervous all at once."
"How so?" Karen asked sitting on the couch. Lucas joined her.
"Well, I am angry Brooke didn't come back, I'm sad I missed out on so much, I'm happy that they are both her now, and I'm exciting about getting to know her. But I'm nervous about screwing up," Lucas said, putting his face in his hands.
"Your going to be fine," Karen laughed, "And just to warn you, you're always going to feel those things. I still feel all those things about you and I feel them for Lilly too. Even though I've been with you two all your lives, I just know I'm never going to get to know everything about you, and that makes me sad, but try not to think about it so much, just focus on the now."
The next morning, Lilly and October sat down at the kitchen table, as Karen placed big plates of pancakes in front of them.
Lilly sat quietly, she had already snuck Tylenol for her headache. October on the other hand seemed completely fine. Lilly hated her a little bit for that.
"So how was your camp out?" Karen asked sitting beside October, Lucas sat down beside Lilly.
"You crashed here Luke?" Lilly asked, "Oh, and yes we had a lot of fun last night, just didn't sleep all to well."
"Yeah you look a little pale," Karen said.
"Theefs are gweat!" October said with her mouth full.
"Glad you like em'" Karen laughed.
"October?" they group could hear Brooke say popping her head awkwardly in the door.
"Hi mom!" October said, standing up to give Brooke a hug, "How are you?"
"I'm good how is my little freak?" Brooke smiled.
"I'm good, pancakes!" October said before sitting back down.
"Want a few?" Karen smiled.
"Yeah that'd be awesome, um, if you don't mind," Brooke said, glancing at Lucas.
"Sure, sit," Lucas said. October shoved her chair into Lilly's to make room.
"So..." Lilly said, playing with her syrup.
"You have nail polish on your arm mom," October said, without even looking at Brooke.
"What? Crap!" Brooke said jumping up and running into the bathroom.
"Every time," October smiled.
"Why don't you two go and grab October's things," Karen suggested.
Brooke came out of the bathroom and sat down to finish her pancake, "Um, I was wondering if you two, and Lilly would like to come over for dinner tonight. October didn't get to have a birthday party with the move and everything, so, I was hoping that you guys would come over for cake?"
"Yeah sure," Lucas smiled.
"I'd love too," Karen said, "And so would Lilly."
"Great, so I'll see you guys tonight, um, I'm just going to go and wait in the car," Brooke said, "Bye."
