Episode 9 Ch.3 Low and Behold

Natalie and Lucy are decorating their daddy. He has two little pony-tails in his hair along with make-up all over his face. "You look gorgemous daddy." Lucy told him as she continued to put her mommy's make-up on him.

"Yeah daddy….you are the prettiest boy I ever seen." Natalie agrees with her sister.

"What is mommy going to think of this?"

"She's gonna think you are a girl." Natalie told him.

"But that's okay…" Lucy giggled.

"Do I make a pretty girl?" Lucas joked.

Lucy shook her head. "Nat said you make a pretty boy daddy….You make a really ugly girl."

"Thank you Lucy." He chuckled.

"You're welcome daddy." She smiled at him. That smile was irresistible.

Lucas just laughed. They were something else.

Brooke walks downstairs to see Nathan waiting with a dozen roses. "Wow…" He says as he sees her. She is wearing a beautiful black dress. "You look absolutely stunning."

"Well thank you…I wanted to look my best for you." She kisses him.

"Well you certainly do." He takes her hand. "Shall we?"

"Yes we shall." Brooke was beaming. She finally had her man back.

Charlie is explaining everything to Savannah. "If you don't sign my test grade mom and dad are going to kill me."

"I don't want to sign again. I'm tired of signing for you. Just tell mom and dad you are having a hard time."

"I can't do that."

"Well I can't sign. I don't want them to be mad at me for helping you lie to them."

"They are going to be mad at you either way Savannah. You are already apart of this whether you sign this paper or not."

Savannah glared at him. "You promised that you were going to bring your grades up."

"I know. I'm sorry. This stuff is just hard."

"You just don't apply yourself."

"I do too. Please Savannah…this is the last time you will have to sign it." Charlie begs her.

Savannah takes the paper. "This better be the last time because the next time I'm going to tell mom and dad myself. I'm tired of lying."

"Thanks Vanna you are the best sister in the world."

"Just get your grades back up." Savannah signed the paper reluctantly. She didn't want Charlie to get into any trouble.

Jacey is at COB working when Keith walks in. "Hey…"

"Hey," she was glad to see him. She was always glad to see him.

"I wanted to talk to you about Eddie."

"What about him?"

"I'm glad you found someone that you love. I'm happy for you. I had my reservations about Eddie, but if you love him then he's got to be alright." Keith found that hard to say, but it needed to be said. She needed to know that he was happy for her no matter how much it hurt.

"Keith I should probably…."

Before she can finish her thought Eddie comes in. "Hey baby," he gives her a kiss on the cheek. "I'm here to take you to dinner." He looks at Keith with daggers in his eyes.

"Have fun," Keith takes one last look at them before heading out the door.

"Come on baby…I have a lot planned for you." Eddie grits his teeth together. "I've warned you, and I'm not going to take it anymore." Eddie held onto her arm tightly.

Mary Peyton and Max walk into Millie's house. Mary Peyton has beautiful dark brown curly hair and big brown eyes. She looks a lot like her mom, but she has her dad's skin color.

Max has light brown spiky hair with green eyes. He looks a little like Rob, but it isn't too noticeable.

"I can't believe your parents left you at home alone. You are so lucky." Mary Peyton told her.

"Yeah I know." Millie goes into one of her kitchen cabinets. "You guys thirsty?" She holds up a bottle of wine. "I know I am."

Max and Mary Peyton just look at her.

"Come on guys…no one is going to find out. I promise."

Peyton walks into her bedroom to see Emma is sleeping in her carrier and Lucas looks like a really ugly girl. "What is going on in here?" She tries to sound motherly. The girls weren't allowed to play in her make-up.

"We're playing dress up mommy." Lucy told her with her hands on her hips. She was the sassiest thing Peyton had ever seen.

"Oh…well I don't remember giving any of you permission to play in my make-up." She thought what they had done was unbelievably cute, and she wasn't too mad at them.

"Sorry mommy," Natalie spoke. "But daddy made us do it."

Peyton focused her attention on her husband. He looked like he had just been betrayed. "Hey guys…come on…I thought we were in this together. We're supposed to be a team."

Natalie and Lucy both shared looks. "Sorry daddy…you're on your own."

"I see how you guys are…" He laughed.

"Well I guess I'm just going to have to punish daddy then." Peyton laughed as she crossed her arms.

"Go easy on him mom he was only trying to have a good time." Lucy defended her dad.

"You two go get washed up for dinner. I'll handle your daddy."

"Okay…" Both Natalie and Lucy gave their dad kisses and ran out of the room.

Peyton looked at Lucas.

"What do you think?"

"You make one ugly girl." She laughed and then smothered him with kisses. "But you are one hot man."

"Is this my punishment? Because if it is you can punish me all night long," he laughed and they continued to make-out.

Summer and Chase are eating pizza with Drew. "This is so good mommy. We are gooder cooks than you."

"Yeah sweetheart…you and Chase sure are good cooks." Summer looked at Chase.

"We try."

Summer can't help but wonder why he hasn't mentioned the proposal. She was sure that he was going to propose to her. What was stopping him?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Elizabeth and Noah walk into the house. "I can't believe that you told me no. You can't tell me no." Elizabeth was upset with him.

"I just think you should wait."

"No…I want this. I need to do this, and my dad has already said that he would watch Emma for me. I have everything figured out."

"I don't agree with you. You've been through so much. I don't want you to have to deal with anything else."

"Noah…you can't protect me from everything, and I don't want to hide out from the world." Elizabeth tried to explain to him.

Peyton walked downstairs. "What's going on here?" She had heard the fighting.

"I want to go back to school, and if I start next week then I won't miss that much. I won't be that far behind."

Peyton smiled. "That's a wonderful idea." Peyton hugged her daughter. "I'm so proud of you. I always wanted you to go back to school."

Noah rolls his eyes. He just knew that Peyton was going to be on Elizabeth's side and it sucked.

Aidan is at the park drinking.

"Wow…this isn't a pretty sight." Julie said as she walked up beside him.

"What do you want?"

"I was just taking a run through the park, and I had to stop and see if you were having fun."

"What?"

"Well you are throwing yourself a pity party right?"

Aidan glared at her. "You know nothing about me."

"I know a lot more than you think. I know how easy it is to do what you are doing right now, but you could do the stand up thing and be better than Spencer and Lily."

"I'm just pissed okay. I should have seen this coming a long time ago. I shouldn't have had to wait until you came knocking at my door….thanks for that by the way." Aidan looks at her as she sits down.

"I didn't want you to hurt that's why I went ahead and told you because trust me it sucks."

"Yeah…"

"I bet they are together right now."

"Yep…I'm pretty sure of that too."

She looks at his bag. "I think I need a drink now too."

"Welcome to the pity party…." He hands her a beer and she takes a quick drink. She had a feeling it was going to be a long night.
