Hello you!
I made this chapter a little longer because I was so glad that some of you are still reading my story and tell me what you think! That means more to me than you know! xoxoxox

Brooke and Julian were lying in bed when they heard someone coming inside their room. Brooke immediately opened her arms and Phoebe fell into them with tired eyes and cuddled with her mother. Julian did not even wake up any more when she came at night, which happened very often. "Mom", Phoebe whispered without opening her eyes.
"Yes.", Brooke kept her eyes closed as well and enjoyed having her youngest daughter in her arms.
"How come there was this mistake?", Brooke immediately knew what Phoebe was talking about.
"Well, obviously there went something wrong when Victoria gave you to your birth father. I talked to Victoria and…", Phoebe suddenly opened her eyes in shock.
"Did she say yes?", she asked with hope in her voice but Brooke's eyes told her that Victoria still disagreed to sign those papers so that Brooke and Julian could adopt her.
"No honey. She does not want us to adopt you but one day she will and you're our daughter no matter what."
"Okay.", Phoebe whispered a little disappointed and cuddled closer to Brooke. "It's weird that I'm nine."
"Yeah, I know. I think we all have to get used to that fact but it does not change who you are. You're still the same Phoebe.", Brooke kissed her nose and went through her hair.
"Yeah, but I don't want to play with nine year old kids. They are too young for me."
"Oh, are they?", Brooke smiled when Phoebe nodded.
"Yes, I am way more mature.", Phoebe said proudly and yelped when Julian slung his arms around her and pulled her towards him and held her tightly. "Daaaaad."
"No, I wanna cuddle with my mature daughter now.", Julian smiled and pinned Phoebe in between them and then kissed Brooke softly.
"Stop that.", Phoebe tried to push them apart but the two of them just cuddled closer to her and then started to kiss her cheek over and over again while she had no chance to get free.
"So I have to wait even longer till I get hair everywhere and boobs like Sammy.", Phoebe said and Brooke and Julian had to suppress a laugh and looked at each other while Phoebe was being seriously.
"Yes, you have to wait about ten years now.", Julian joked and Brooke burst out into laughing.
"Ten years?", Phoebe asked shocked.
"Yes, in ten years I'll allow you to go out with a boy then. For an hour and only at daylight and…"
"Dad. I will never want a boyfriend. I'll live with you forever.", Phoebe answered seriously.
"Forever?", Brooke asked with a smile and squeezed Julian's hand, who squeezed it back.
"Yes, then I don't have to cook for myself."
"Oh, I see. You only need us to cook for you?", Julian now joked and Phoebe nodded with a wide smile but received a tickle attack from him but soon the three of them were asleep.

Brooke was the first one who woke up the next morning and got out of bed. She walked into the kitchen and saw Kevin already sitting on the table and looking like he was in thoughts.
"Good morning Kevin.", Brooke smiled at him and started to prepare breakfast.
"Good morning.", Kevin answered and then took a deep breath "Can I help you?"
Brooke looked shocked at him. He never really wanted to be around her when they were alone.
"Um sure. I wanted to make pancakes. You could…", but before she could say how to make them, he already got everything out of the fridge and started adding everything.
"Wow. That's definitely not the first time you made them, huh?", Brooke smiled and Kevin nodded.
"Yes, my mom and I made brunch every Saturday and sometimes she slept so long that I started preparing everything.", Kevin answered proudly, "Can I make scrambled eggs too?"
"Kevin, you can do whatever you want. I start to think you're a better cook than I am.", Brooke joked.
"That's not that hard mom.", Sam came into the room with tired eyes and fell down on the couch and cuddled with the pillow.
"Good morning sunshine.", Brooke laughed. Sam was definitely not a morning person.
"Yeah, whatever.", she answered and then looked up, "How about ending my grounding?"
"No way.", Brooke answered without looking at Sam. "All of you are still grounded."
"Done.", Kevin answered after a while and then took the plates and put them on the table.
"It smells great.", Julian came into the kitchen and looked at all the food that Kevin had prepared. "Wow."
"Kevin seems to be the best cook in the family.", Sam said without opening her eyes. She did not even realize that it made Kevin more than happy that she counted him to the family. Although he missed his mother very much, he was happy with the Bakers. "Can you bake and cook too, Kev?"
"Um…yeah. A bit.", Kevin blushed and looked at Sam.
"How about you do it today? I'm a little sick of mom's meals.", Sam joked and immediately a pillow landed on her face.
"Yeah okay. I like cooking."
"Can I help you?", Phoebe now came into the room as well and sat down at the table with the others.
"Don't let her help you. She mixes salt with sugar.", Sam joked and Phoebe kicked her under the table.
"I do not."
"Yes, you can help me.", Kevin immediately answered.
"Sweet.", Phoebe answered and all of them started eating. They talked about anything happily.
xxxxxxxxxx
"Can we go to the mall mom? Kevin needs some things for the cake?"
"I am sorry but I have to sketch a little and your dad needs to do some phone calls.", Brooke apologized but saw how sad Kevin looked. "How about you two go on your own?"
Normally Brooke and Julian did not want the kids to walk that far but she thought that they were old enough and today was a sunny day. "Sweet.", Phoebe laughed and the two kids got out of the house. Neither of them realized the black car again that made photos of Kevin and Phoebe.
xxxxxxxxxxx
Sam, Brooke and Julian were in the living room while the kids were at the grocery store. "I am so bored.", Sam whined while she sat on the couch and watched TV.
"Well, Sampson. That's your own fault.", Julian laughed and went through her hair.
"Could you stop doing that dad? I am not nine and you ruin my hairstyle."
"Oh, that was your hairstyle? I am sorry.", Julian answered sarcastically and went through her hair again and then gave each one the coffee. "So tomorrow is Phoebe's fake birthday. I think she has no clue.", Julian smiled happily.
xxxxxxxx
"How come you can cook so great?", Phoebe asked Kevin curiously.
"My mom showed me. She was a great cook and let me help her all the time.", Kevin said and looked at the list he made. "Okay, we need this and that and that.", Kevin and Phoebe took everything and when Phoebe saw the sweets she took two bags of them too.
"We are not supposed to buy that.", Kevin immediately took it from Phoebe. Phoebe looked shocked at him and took it back again.
"Mom and dad won't know and it's just one bag.", Phoebe argued.
"No. We don't do that. We are already grounded and I don't want to get into more trouble.", he took it from Phoebe again. Somehow he took his role as the older brother really seriously now.
"You're a coward.", Phoebe rolled her eyes but gave up.
"Well, I have the money and I won't buy that.", Kevin answered.
"Fine.", Phoebe whined. Neither of them saw the black car again that was following them when they walked home.
xxxxxxxxx
"Okay, now you have to add two eggs.", Kevin and Phoebe were in the kitchen and while it looked like all the ingredients were in Phoebe's face or clothes, Kevin was totally clean. Brooke, Sam and Julian watched the scene with amusement. Phoebe took the eggs and looked shocked when she unintentionally added the eggshell as well. She made a grimace and tried to get it out of the cake.
"Okay and now sugar.", Phoebe took it but Kevin immediately took the bag out of her hand.
"That is salt.", he looked at her like she was crazy.
"Oops.", Phoebe smiled and took the bag with sugar and added a bit. Unfortunately she added the whole bag. Kevin looked shocked at her.
"What did you do?"
"I am sorry. I wanted to…", but Kevin took away the bowl and then threw everything into the trash. "That would taste horrible."
"You did not tell me how much I should add.", Phoebe defended herself.
"There is no cake where you add this much sugar.", Kevin talked back.
"How should I know?"
"You could have asked.", Kevin argued and started everything from the beginning. Phoebe sat down on a chair and just watched him and was pissed.
"I want to do anything too.", she whined but Kevin shook his head.
"No, you ruin the cake."
"I will not."
"Yes, you will.", Kevin answered.
All of the family was a little shocked that Kevin argued. Normally he just did what Phoebe told him to do but obviously there were times that even the calm boy had enough and this was good. After one hour the five of them sat in front of a delicious cake and started eating it.
"Wow Kevin. That tastes perfectly.", Brooke said and was happy that this made Kevin smile.
xxxxxxxxxxx
In the evening the five of them sat on the couch and just enjoyed each other's company. "Okay, it's time for you to go to bed.", Julian said when he looked at the clock and at Phoebe.
"But…then Kevin has to go to bed too.", Phoebe immediately argued but knew that she would loose the fight.
"First of all, he's almost three years older. Secondly tomorrow is your birthday and you have to be awake when you get the presents."
"What will I get?", Phoebe asked curiously and excited.
"Nothing special.", Sam answered with a smile.
"Please tell me one thing.", she hugged Sam from behind but Sam shook her head.
"Get ready for bed Phoebe.", Brooke laughed. Some minutes later Phoebe ran to them in their pajama and jumped onto Julian.
"Dad. At what time can I open my presents tomorrow?"
"Not too early. I would like to sleep a little.", Sam said and received a mad look from Phoebe.
"Not before eight."
"But that's late dad.", Phoebe whined.
"Well, if you argue now I'll make it twelve."
Phoebe nodded immediately and then hugged everyone and ran into her room and jumped into her bed and tried to sleep but nothing worked and she listened to their conversation.
"Do you already know what you want for your birthday?", Julian asked Kevin who thought about it for a moment but then shook his head.
"So you have no wishes?", Brooke joked and he shrugged his shoulder.
"I have an idea what he may like.", Sam smiled when Kevin looked curiously at her. "But I won't tell you."

Phoebe jumped out of her bed this night at around four o'clock. She tiptoed into the living room and found the table full of presents. A huge smile appeared on her face and she started to touch every present to find out what was in there. But suddenly something bit her softly under the table and when she looked down two eyes looked up at her. She screamed in shock and fell down with the chair and immediately ran to Julian and Brooke, who were already suppressing a laugh and pretended to sleep.
"Mom. Dad. There is a big rat or something in the kitchen and it bit me.", Phoebe said in panic. Brooke immediately turned on the light and played the game.
"Oh no. Julian. It's the big rat again. We have to get someone to make it stop harassing us.", Julian nodded and jumped out of the bed.
"It was really huge mom and it followed me.", Phoebe sat on Brooke's lap and held her tightly while Julian looked for the rat. He turned off the light again and then jumped into bed with the huge rat and laid it on Phoebe's stomach who immediately started to scream but stopped when it licked her face. Brooke turned on the light again and finally Phoebe saw what was on her stomach: The cutest little puppy that she'd ever seen. She did not know what to say and did not move an inch.
"Oh okay, you don't want him. Then I give him back.", Julian joked and Phoebe immediately jumped up and took the cutie into her arm and held him tightly.
"He's so small. Is he…is he…"
"Yes, he's yours but you have to take care of him no matter what and you have to…", Phoebe jumped into Brooke's arms and smiled wildly.
"Thank you. Thank you. I will give him the best life ever and I promise I'll take care of him.", Brooke went through her hair and nodded. Although they still worried that Phoebe was too young for her own dog, they knew that she would try to keep her promise. While Brooke and Julian tried to catch a little more sleep, Phoebe played calmly with the dog in the bed. He was a black puppy and a Labrador. "I am going to name you Lucky because I'm lucky I got you.", she stroked his back and laughed when he licked her stomach.
"Sam. Sam. Sam.", Phoebe jumped onto Sam in her bed.
"Happy birthday baby sis.", Sam slung her arms and legs around Phoebe and held her tightly.
"Saaaaaam. I cannot breathe. Look I got a dog Sam. I got a dog."
"Oh really?", Sam joked. Of course she knew that Phoebe would get one. Then Phoebe ran into Kevin's room and jumped onto his bed as well and held the dog into his face, so that it licked him.
"Kevin. Look what I got to my birthday. A dog.", Kevin opened his eyes and nodded. "Yeah I know."
"Isn't he cute? I called him Lucky.", Phoebe laughed when he jumped out of her embrace and ran around like a crazy dog.
"Do you want my present?", Kevin asked excited. He had thought a lot about what he could buy her. "Close your eyes."
Phoebe closed her eyes and held out her hand. When she opened them again there was a neckband and some other stuff for Lucky in it.
"Cooooool. Thank you.", Phoebe smiled happily and hugged Kevin tightly and then ran into the living room to Lucky. She totally forgot about all the other presents.
"I think we made her happy.", Brooke yawned when she saw her youngest daughter running around with Lucky. Julian walked to her and threw her over his shoulder and tickled her.
"Daaaaaad.", she laughed.
"How about opening your other presents.", it was then Phoebe realized that everything was decorated in her favorite color and there were balloons on the wall and sweets hanging down and lots of other things.
"Yeeeeeah.", Phoebe sat down on the chair and the other came too. Brooke took a crown and put it on Phoebe's head.
"For our little princess.", Phoebe could not stop smiling and then started to open the presents while Julian filmed it and Brooke made photos. She got a lot of stuff she wished for and she was more than happy.
"This is from me.", Sam gave her an envelope and Phoebe opened it very excited.
"I know how much you wanted earrings, so we go into the center and you get some and I hold your hand during it.", Phoebe smiled happily and hugged Sam.
"This is the best day ever.", she jumped up on her chair and then hugged everyone. Julian filmed Brooke who was smiling wildly.
"Mrs. Baker. Do you think our daughter is happy?"
"I don't think that. I know it.", Brooke smiled into the camera.
"Samantha Walker soon to be Baker, what do you think?"
"Well, although it's not my sister's real birthday, she'll never forget that day. Especially with the special guests later on."
"And you son?"
"Um…My sister is the best baby sister ever.", he smiled and all of them looked a little shocked at him. Those words were honest and Brooke could tell that Kevin felt save in their family.
Then the bell rang and Phoebe ran towards the door and saw the Scotts standing there who sang a Happy Birthday to her. "Thank you. Come in. We got lots of food and cake."
Jamie and Lisa immediately went over to Lucky and stroke his back. "Wow. He's so cute."
"Yeah. And he's mine now.", Phoebe laughed, "Do you want to drink anything. We have a lot."
"Um…sure.", Jamie answered and walked with her to the fridge.
"This is for you.", Phoebe looked at the small box and could not believe what he gave her. It was a ring she wanted for some time but it was too expensive. "But…Jamie…this…"
"You bought me a bike, so I can buy you a ring.", she jumped into his arms and immediately showed the ring to Brooke.
"Wow. That's really pretty, Jamie. Good taste.", Brooke smiled proudly.
Then the doorbell rang again and Ben came inside. Phoebe jumped into his arms and showed him everything.
"Well, I have a huge present for you too. But I could not bring it now but later on.", Ben said and looked at all her presents. He was happy that Phoebe finally got the family that celebrated her and how happy she was and totally forgot that this was not her real birthday.
"Phoebs.", Nathan said and Phoebe immediately ran to him.
"Yes. Do you need anything?", she took it very seriously that everyone felt at home.
"What happened to your daughter?", Nathan joked and Brooke and Julian burst out into laughing.
"Do you want our present?", Phoebe immediately nodded and wrapped the big packet.
"Wow", Phoebe looked at her new X-box and could not help but grin all the time.
"Thank you so much.", she hugged Haley and Nathan.
"Phoebe, I think my present is here.", all of them looked curiously at the door and Phoebe ran to it and then could not believe what she was seeing. Her uncle Jim and Aunt Macy were standing there with a big cake and some presents.
"If this isn't my little pumpkin.", uncle Jim said and Phoebe immediately started to cry and jumped into their arms. She had missed them so much and she could not believe that they were standing here now.
"It's okay pumpkin.", aunt Macy caressed her back and went inside.
"Hello. We are really happy that you could come.", Brooke and Julian were excited to meet some of her family members and wanted to shake their hands but Jim and Macy immediately pulled them into a hug.
"Come to your uncle pumpkin.", Jim took Phoebe into his arms and kissed her cheek. "You're still as pretty as ever. So this is your family? Can you introduce us to them?" All of them looked with much curiosity at them. They looked like they came from a gangster movie but nevertheless they seemed very nice.
Phoebe nodded and jumped down. "This is my mom, my dad, my brother, you already know Sammy and that was my teacher and mom's best friend and that's Nathan, her husband and these are Jamie, my best friend and Lisa.", all of them said hi and then they saw the dog, "And that's Lucky. He's my new dog. C'mon, I show you my room."

The rest of the day everyone was very happy and the kids played outside while the adults were inside and drinking a little.
"This is for you Mrs. Baker.", aunt Macy gave her a present.
"Oh no need to give us anything and you can just call me Brooke.", Brooke smiled.
"Well, there is nothing that can show how grateful we are that you took in our little pumpkin and made her smile again. It's nothing big but I thought you would like it.", Brooke and Julian wrapped the present. They could not believe what they were seeing. It was a very big album of Phoebe's past. There were lots of photos in it. When Phoebe sat on a potty, when she had a pumpkin on her head and lots of her and her big sister smiling happily.
"Thank you so much.", Brooke hugged both of them.
"So, is pumpkin still a handful?", uncle Jim joked. Julian and Brooke knew that they had different methods to punish their kids than these two and just smiled.
"Well, she's a free spirit.", Julian joked and gave them another beer.
Kevin came inside and wanted to grab something to eat but then uncle Jim looked at him, "Hey boy. Come over here.", Kevin felt a little uncomfortable but walked over to the big man. "So you're pumpkin's big bro, huh?"
"Yes, sir.", Kevin answered shyly but smiled when Jim answered him and tinkered.
"Don't let her push you around."
"Um, okay sir.", he laughed.
"I heard you're a good chess player. Wanna show me your skills? I'm not that bad either", Kevin immediately ran into his room and took his board. "Great boy you have there but he needs to eat a little more to become a real man."
"Jim.", Macy slapped him softly.
xxxxxxxxxx
"I can't believe it.", Kevin looked at the board and could not believe that uncle Jim won again. Julian sat besides them as well and shook his head.
"You're really a good player Jim."
"Nah. I just listen to my instincts.", Jim laughed and took another beer and then walked outside and was more than happy that his family was happy. Sam walked over to him and smiled.
"You've grown Sammy.", he smoked and patted her shoulder. "Does my son treat you good?"
Sam immediately nodded and looked at Ben. "He's the best."
xxxxxxxxxxx
The day was perfect for everyone and the Scotts stayed with them until midnight. "So you're only two and a half years older than me now?", Lisa smiled at Phoebe who looked annoyed at her because this was definitely not her favorite topic but she nodded.
"Sweet. So our family has someone that's six, nine, almost twelve, fourteen, sixteen and almost seventeen. That's a huge family.", Lisa laughed and continued stroking the little puppy that was already sleeping.
"Jamie, Lisa. We are going home.", Nathan came over to the kids and felt a little drunk. "Phoebe, your birthday was great."
"Thank you uncle Nathan.", Phoebe hugged him tightly.
xxxxxxxxxx
When the Scotts were gone the Bakers and Ben's parents were sitting on the couch and just talking. "So Kevin. How about a last game before bed?", Jim asked the boy who nodded immediately. Everybody looked at them and continued talking. Julian sat behind Kevin and gave him little advice while Phoebe sat on aunt Macy's lap and had Lucky in her arms and was more asleep than awake and Sam cuddled with Ben a little. Brooke watched all of them and was happy but felt a little jealous that aunt Macy knew Phoebe longer that she did.
"I'll bring that kid to bed.", Aunt Macy whispered when Phoebe fell asleep. "Your family is great.", Aunt Macy lay besides Phoebe in her bed and was relieved that her niece smiled again.
"I know but they are your family now too.", Phoebe whispered and cuddled closer to aunt Macy. After a while Macy stood up and wanted to go outside but Phoebe whispered, "Can you tell my mom to come?"
Brooke tiptoed into the room and lay down besides Phoebe who immediately cuddled closer. "That was my best day ever mom. Thank you."
"You're welcome honey. I am happy that you liked it."
"I loved it.", Phoebe fell asleep but woke up when Brooke wanted to leave the room. "Mom."
"Yes."
"You'll never leave me, right?", Phoebe whispered and Brooke lay down besides her again.
"Never honey. You are stuck with all of us."
"I like that.", Phoebe smiled and finally really fell asleep.
xxxxxxxxxxxx
Outside the whole family was laughing uncontrollable because Kevin managed to win against uncle Jim. "Nooooo. You cheated boy."
"Oh, now I know where Phoebe got that from.", Sam whispered to Ben who nodded.
"Nope, I did not. But dad helped me.", Kevin did not realize that he called Julian dad for the first time but Julian surely did and looked at Brooke who knew how much this meant to him.
"Unbelievable. You're an intelligent boy.", Jim took a beer and almost drank all of it at once, "does everyone treat you good boy?"
"Um…yes, they do."
"Trust me, you'll love it here. My pumpkin is not an easy child. Full of nonsense and stubborn as hell but these two know how to handle her and love her", Jim pointed at Brooke and Julian who did not really know what to say. "I can tell that you're already a huge part in this family."
Sometimes people did not like that uncle Jim always said what he thought. Sometimes his directness hurt people but these words made Kevin smile a lot and he blushed and nodded. "He's my favorite buddy.", Ben went through Kevin's hair.
Soon everyone went to bed and dreamt about an awesome day.
xxxxxxxxxxx
The next two days were really great for everyone. Lucky was a very sweet puppy and Phoebe treated him very good and listened to every sound he was making and feed him, bathed and cuddled with him. Brooke and Julian got along great with Aunt Macy and Uncle Jim although the two of them were very different. Especially Jim cursed way more than everyone else and Brooke and Julian realized again how differently Phoebe grew up back with them. Everything escalated a bit one day.
Like usual Phoebe loved playing detective and looked around in the house. Everyone was in the living room while Phoebe went into the guestroom when she saw something sparkling. She tiptoed into the room and took it out of her uncle's bag with wide eyes. Of course she was used to seeing guns but this one was definitely a new one. On the one hand she hated them on the other hand they fascinated her. She held it up and pretended to shoot when suddenly the door burst open and her uncle stood in front of her.
Brooke and Julian jumped up in shock when they heard Phoebe screaming and ran to the guestroom. They were shocked to see Phoebe lying over her uncle's knees and him using his force and hitting her bottom very hard. Before they could intervene he stopped and Phoebe jumped up and looked madly at him.
"It did not even hurt. You're still hitting like a baby.", she screamed into his face while the tears came out of her eyes and she rubbed her back. Jim took her hard at her arm and pointed at her.
"It is not a game pumpkin. How often do I have to tell you that?"
"I did not do anything. I just looked at it.", she took the gun and threw it onto the ground in rage. Brooke and Julian were not fast enough and gasped when Jim hit Phoebe real hard on her cheek and she fell to the floor and held her cheek in pain and her lip showed a little blood.
"Oh my god.", Brooke immediately walked to Phoebe while Julian and Jim started to argue. Brooke walked into Phoebe's room with her and looked at her lip and then kissed her hurt cheek and wiped her tears and rocked her back and forth while Phoebe cried heavily and had trouble breathing. "Shhh Phoebe. Breathe in and out.", sometimes Phoebe's asthma was not making it easier. Aunt Macy came into the room and looked shocked at the two of them.
"Was this my husband?", she asked and Brooke nodded and she immediately walked into the room and one could hear Jim and Macy arguing heavily.
"They are the parents Jim. It is not your duty to punish her.", Macy screamed at her husband.
"She's still my niece and she deserved that treatment.", Jim defended himself.
Phoebe just took her hands over her ears and did not want to hear any of that arguing. Brooke was just glad that Ben, Kevin and Sam weren't at home. After and hour of arguing Jim came into Phoebe's room.
"Could I talk to my niece alone?", Brooke did not really know what to do and held Phoebe even tighter.
"I prefer staying in the room.", Brooke said back and Jim looked shocked at her but suppressed his anger and then looked at his little niece he loved so much.
"Pumpkin you know ya don't play with guns. Ya know it the best.", Phoebe pretended not to listen but then looked madly at him.
"I wasn't going to play with it. It just looked so cool and it's a new one.", Phoebe admitted and Brooke found it disgusting that they were talking about a gun like it was something special but she decided not to intervene.
"Yup, I bought it a week ago and it's a…", he looked at Brooke's shocked face and stopped, "Well pumpkin, I'm sorry for that blue eye you got now."
"And a split lip", Phoebe pointed at it and he touched her lip carefully.
"Yeah for that too and your parents told me you don't get hit here.", he said it as if it was wrong, "So, come here."
Brooke was shocked that Phoebe immediately jumped into his embrace and hugged him tightly and he kissed her face over and over again and then started to tickle her.
"Stop it uncle Jim.", she laughed when he lay on top of her.
"Oh I missed ya so much pumpkin."
"I missed you too but you got fat.", she answered with a grin.
"Fat. Me? I ain't fat.", he tickled her again and then looked at Brooke. "I apologize for the drama."
"Um…it's okay.", Brooke said that only for Phoebe. In reality she wanted that man gone now but she could tell that Phoebe loved her uncle although he was violent at times.
"Uncle Jim never apologizes. He is a macho mom. So it must be real."
"I ain't no mucho.", Jim took her one leg and Phoebe screamed and laughed when he held her upside down and tickled her one foot. Kevin came inside now and did not know what had happened and smiled at all of them. With one fast movement Jim took him at his foot too and now both of the kid were hanging upside down and laughed.
This night Brooke and Julian had a long talk with Aunt Macy and Uncle Jim about hitting kids and it was more than obvious that there were worlds between them but nevertheless they had a good and intense conversation.
