"Girls, dinner is ready!" Lucas shouted up the stairs.
Brooke and October joine dhim at the dinner table.
"Why are the both of you so quite?" Lucas questioned.
"Grandmas coming tomorrow," October said, trying to make a spooky voice.
"Why is that scary? You see Karen all the time," Lucas laughed.
"Other grandma," October said.
"My mom is coming," Brooke said grumpily.
"Your mom?" Lucas asked. He had never really heard much about Brooke's parents, nor had he ever met her. He saw no signs of Brooke's mom existing in her house and October never mentioned her before...."And this isa bad thing?"
"Oh yes," October answered, "Grandma, who in fact doesn't allow me to call her Grandma because she is "not an old hag yet," wasn't happy about the idea of moving here. Mom and I "snuck off to Tree Hill anyways," and she hates you with a passsion because you are the loser who knocked up her daughter and never did anything about it and never once paid attentiont ot he fact that I existed. Meanwhile she was never around throughout my mother's whole childhood at all and that was intentional. Plus, grandma does not know about the two siblings Ii have coming so that will be another tornado of bitching about how my mother is so stupid to get herself into this situation once again and how long it's going to take for Lucas to run away once again and how hisotry is repeating itself once again and yeah I think that's the jist of it. I've been listening to mom panick for the past forty-five minutes." October explained.
"Oh," Lucas said.
"Is it sad that I am that scared of my own mother?" Brooke asked.
"No I think it's the right amount of scared when your mother sounds like that," Lucas replied.
The next morning while October and Lucas were both off at school, Brooke stayed at home and waited for he rmother to arrive. When she did Bbrooke took in a deep breath, "Hee we goooo..."
"Brooke," Victoria says, looking her up and down.
"Victoria," Brooke replied.
"You've put on weight," Victoria says.
"October knew you'd say that," Brooke smiled slightly.
"Yes, my grand...kid," Victoria said raising her eyebrows, "Where is the little mistake."
"She's not a mistake mom," Brooke said.
"You've been syaing that for years but I know what she is," Victoria smirked.
"Why are you here mom?" Brooke asked.
"You need to come back to California," Victoria sai, point blank.
"And why is that?" Brooke asked, "You never paid attention to me before and after October came you hid me away from Tree Hill, and then convinced me to stay and then went back to ignoring me and my daughter. Why would you want us back?"
"Because, as much as I htink October should have never been born, you can't let her live here. This place is a dump. It's a breeding ground for freaks and fatherless children and screwed up lives. At least she had a bit of a chance in California. Hher she's going to end up as bad as you. Do you want that for her? Aand plus, why would you want her here when she can get mixed up with her father. Isn't Lucas still here? You can't let that excuse for a human be in her life. You both are better than him. And that's saying something."
"MOM," Brooke said raising her voice,"Just SHUT UP, my god. October's fine here."
"Not from what I've heard. Hasn't she gotten shot? Didn't she have to go to the hospital because of her heart?" Victoria questioned.
"Well, yes," Brooke replied.
"And how is that good for her?" Victoria asked.
"Those accident were, but they could happen anywhere. Plus she's making a life here. She's best friends with her Aunt Lilly, Lucas's sister. She and Lucas are in fact close and he's been great to her. She's got Jacob, my old friend Mouth's son, and she's got her cousin Jamie. She likes it here. She was cheerleading, playing soccer, she can't now because of her leg and everything but she's getting into sports broadcasting with Jacob. She's been helping me with my work. It's been good for the both of us." Brooke replied.
"How's it been good for you? Living in a dump, chubby and single. Good for you Brooke," Victoria said.
"First of all Tree Hill is my home mom it always has been. Second, I'm pregnant, not chubby and third I'm not single. I'm with Lucas." Brooke shot back.
"You're an even bigger idiot than I originally thought," Victoria said shocked, "And you and your kids are coming home to California NOW, before you do anymore damage."
"No, you can go back to California and leave me and my family alone," Brooke said through gritted teeth.
"And how will you afford your family?" Victoria asks.
"What do you mean?" Brooke questions.
"Well, your little clothing company is your income correct? Wasn't I the one who signed everything to get this company going when you were having October?" Victoria asked.
"Well, yeah, but it's my company. I'm the designer, I do everything," Brooke said.
"I can take every single bit of it away," Victoria sneered, "So you either come back and forget about Lucas or else you can stay here and give your kids a horrible life. Your choice."
With that Victoria walked out of the house.
That afternoon, while October was with Jacob, Brooke retold the events from that morning to Lucas.
"She can't do that can she?" Lucas asked.
"I talked ot my lawyer and if Victoria pulls out of the company like she's threatening to, I won't be able to keep it. It's not fair, I've spent so much time and energy on this company. I can't beleive she'd do this to me and October," Brooke said tearing up.
"Well, if she pulled out of the company what would you loose?" Lucas asked.
"Well the only profit I make is from the designs, Victoria gets everything else, I have no other real rights. Victoria could easily hire a new designer and I'd be out," Brooke sighed.
"Well, you did it once, you can do it again. Let her have this and you'll never have to deal with her again, and then you can start up another company," Lucas suggested, "Unless you do want to leave?"
"Of course not, why would you even ask that?" Brooke smiled, "But it's Cclothes over Bros. I've had this since before October."
"It's just a name," Lucas replied, "The name has nothing to do with your talent or anything Brooke. You can do this again."
"You really think so?" Brooke asked.
"I'm positive," Lucas smiled.
Brooke picks up the phone and dials Victoria's cell phone.
"Mom?" Brooke asks.
"Yes Brooke?" Victoria asked.
"You can have it, I don't care, take it all, but don't you dare ever come back into my life. We are through," Brooke said angrily before feircly hanging up.
That night at dinner Lucas, Brooke and October slowly ate.
"So what did grandma do this time?" October asked.
"She took Clothes over Bros," Brooke said like it was nothing, "So if you have any suggestions for a new name..."
"She did what?" October asked choking on her chicken.
"She took MY company, " Brooke said, then took a deep breath, "But I am staying calm and I am going to just start all over. I can do this."
"What the hell," October replied.
"I KNOW!" Brooke said.
"I guess she shouldn't surprise me anymore..." October said.
Okay, so next chapter it's going to skip ahead a bit. Any suggestions for Brooke's new company name, and wether the babies should be girl/girl, boy/boy or girl/boy would be awesome! Oh, and any suggestions for names for the twins would be great as well!
