Hello everyone. Whoever is still reading this story: THANK YOU. And a special thanks to the ones who reviewed. You criticized that I focus too much on Phoebe. I'm sorry for that. She's kind of special to me because she's my OC and I wanted to show how hard it is for her being kidnapped and so on. But you were right that I kind of neglected the other characters a little. I hope that I find a good mixture in this chapter and the next ones. In the beginning it focussed a little on Phoebe again-but I just needed to write that :). I'm always open for any suggestions and criticism. I'm more than thankful to know what you're thinking!

So here it goes. I hope you enjoy it a little!

It was already dark when the Bakers were driving home in the big taxi. All of them were tired and just wished for their beds. They were happy that they were in Tree Hill again. Brooke and Julian knew that it would not be easy at all but finally all of them could be home again. They looked back and saw the three kids sleeping peacefully. Kevin leaned against Sam while Phoebe's head was in his lap. Only Sam was still awake. She looked out of the window. Somehow she looked very sad and thought about everything that had happened in the past weeks. It was so much that she did not really know how to start dealing with all of it; especially her emotions.

"Are you okay, honey?", Brooke asked worried and squeezed her daughter's hand.

"Sure.", Sam faked a soft smile but she knew that she could not make her mother believe in that answer.

"Sam.", Brooke said softly and touched her cheek.

"It's…it's just…I just want to go home.", she admitted. She looked at Phoebe to make sure that Phoebe was still sleeping. Brooke and Julian had decided to stay in a guesthouse for a while until they could buy a new one. They thought that a new beginning would be better than facing everything in the old house. Of course this did not really make them happy either but they knew that this house was holding so many bad memories for all of them. But Sam felt like leaving something special behind. Of course it was just a house but it was the first house she considered as her home and it held many good memories too.

"We'll make the new one our home as well, honey.", Brooke answered and knew that a lot of things were unsaid in the past weeks and that she needed to spend some time alone with her oldest one.

"I just don't want to move but…it's okay." Sam just answered and looked out of the window again. She turned around when she heard her baby sister talking to their parents.

"I don't want to move either.", Phoebe stuttered. It did not really feel like she was 100% sure about that but Sam looked shocked at her.

"Phoebe, it's…", Sam knew that Phoebe said that because of her.

"No, I just don't. I like my room and we painted Kevin's and I would not have the tree house any more and…", she took a deep breath, "I just don't want to move. Can we please go home, mom?"

Brooke looked at her two girls and then at Julian. He turned to the cab driver and told him to drive to their old home. A little later they were at the house.

"We are there.", Julian shook Kevin softly. He nodded and yawned and then went out of the car and looked confused at his dad when he saw the house.

"I thought we…"

"We stay.", Julian went through his hair and then took the luggage. Kevin immediately went to him and helped him. He loved doing everything that Julian did. Meanwhile Sam had her hands on Phoebe's shoulders. She could feel how she was trembling a little.

"Thank you so much.", Sam kissed Phoebe's cheek and then took her hand and went inside with her. All of them were stunned when they looked around. There were flowers, and a big welcome sign that said "Welcome home Bakers.". And it smelled deliciously. They could tell that Haley must have baked a cake for all of them. Brooke immediately dialed Haley's number.

"Thank you Hales.", she whispered with tears in her eyes.

"You're welcome. I'm glad you decided to move back into the house."

"Yeah, me too.", Brooke suddenly realized how much she would have missed. "Let's talk tomorrow. We are kind of exhausted."

"Sure tigger. I love you"

"Love you too tutor-mom.", Brooke answered and hung up the phone and fell into Julian's arms. "We're back home."

"Yeah, I know. I can't believe it either.", Julian answered and then looked at the cake, "Who wants a piece of cake?"

The next few days were hard for all of them but not as hard as they had expected them to be. Kevin, Sam and Phoebe were going back to school and for the first time Brooke and Julian had some time alone after everything. They sat on the couch under one blanket and just talked. Julian massaged Brooke's feet while she nibbled at the warm tea. Suddenly the bell rang and both of them looked confused at each other. They did not expect any visitors. Julian walked to the door and opened it and immediately had a smile on his face. "Good morning Mrs. Benzo.", he said and she nodded with a huge smile.

"Good morning, Mr. Baker. I was just in the neighborhood and thought about saying hello. Is it okay if I come in?"

"Of course it is.", Brooke got up from the couch. Both of them were a little embarrassed that they were still in their pajamas.

"Hello Mrs. Baker.", Mrs. Benzo wanted to give her her hand but Brooke fell into her arms and hugged her tightly and felt the tears rushing up. "It's okay.", Mrs. Benzo smiled and patted her back.

"Oh god. I'm sorry.", Brooke wiped her tears and let her come inside, and "Do you want anything, a tea, Coffee?"

"Tea would be great.", Mrs. Benzo smiled and sat down on a chair.

"Um…did we have an appointment?", Julian looked from Brooke to Mrs. Benzo in confusion.

"No, no. I just wanted to come by and see how you all are doing.", Mrs. Benzo immediately answered.

"We are okay. I mean…we have her back and she got her fears and isn't a great eater any more but she's very brave.", Julian said and sat down on the couch with Brooke.

"I'm so happy to hear that. How about you two? How do you cope with everything? Maybe you could tell me a little what happened in the last time.", Mrs. Benzo asked softly. She knew how hard it must be to have so many things happening in their lives. Brooke and Julian looked at each other and then started to talk. They talked about everything. Mrs. Benzo felt very connected to the Bakers. She took the young parents' hands and squeezed them.

"I'm so proud of you two. You are great parents and you went through a lot. I promise you it'll get better."

"Thank you.", Julian answered and slung his arm around Brooke who wiped her tears with a tissue.

"But I….I feel like a failure. I mean…we let our daughter get kidnapped, my oldest was pregnant and we did not even really talk about it and I have no clue how Kevin feels.", Brooke admitted. Julian looked a little shocked at her. Somehow Brooke was right. "I feel like I can't give everyone what they need."

"Mrs. Baker. Look at me. Being a parent does not mean to make everything right. There'll always be things you regret or oversee but trust me, you two are great parents. Normally no one has to go through so much hard stuff at once. And it's not only about the kids. It's about you two too. You need to spend time alone too and talk. I know how hard it can be with three children. Especially when everyone has other desires and problems. Just forget the last time. Now, you're home again and you start all over. Spend time with each other. As a family. With one of the kids alone and…"

"But Phoebe fears when we're not all together. And I understand her fears, she was…"

"Of course. All her fears are understandable. But you know, it won't get better if we let her have those fears and in the long run it won't be good for the whole family."

"But it took us two hours this morning to get her to school and…", Brooke answered.

"And if it takes ten. She's in school now, right. You did not get a call that she wants to come home. It's important that everything will be normal again. It won't be easy but I know that little girl. She's strong and you two are too."

Brooke and Julian took a deep breath and then nodded.

"Hot-shot.", Brooke hugged Nathan tightly when he came into the house some hours later.

"I missed you.", Nathan smiled and kissed Brooke's cheek.

"Hey, hey. Are you flirting with my wife?", Julian joked and hugged Haley tightly as well. "Because if you are then I am too."

"Boys.", Haley rolled her eyes and walked over to Brooke.

"God, Haley. Your cake tasted like heaven.", Brooke complimented her.

"It always does.", Nathan answered and kissed his wife's forehead.

"Thank you, honey.", the four adults walked to the couch and sat down. All of them took a deep breath and needed to talk about this and that. It did not take long that the front door sprung open and the kids came inside. Phoebe was in Sam's arms and it was obvious that the first day had not been a good one.

The next few days were calm. Nothing big happened and Mrs. Benzo helped them all to go back to their old life. It was not easy but they got the best support from all of their friends and even Victoria was helping-especially with Phoebe. Especially today they were happy that Victoria was still there.

Sam was sitting on the couch and nibbling on her pencil while doing the homework while Phoebe ran around with Lucky not really caring to be quiet. "Phoebe! Could you be quiet for a minute."

Phoebe stuck out her tongue and continued running around, "Do your homework in your room."

"Go play with Lucky in your room.", Sam answered annoyed.

"No, I wanna play here.", she sat down on the couch right besides Sam and almost bumped the coke over the papers.

"Phoebe. I mean it. I have to get this done until tomorrow. If you sit here, then be quiet.", Sam was in a lousy mood right now.

"What is it about?", Phoebe looked at the paper and read it out loud. "That doesn't sound interesting."

"Phoebe!", Sam looked with wide eyes at her. She just wanted her to be quiet and let her be. Brooke and Julian came inside the living room and saw the two of them arguing. They were kind of happy that this happened. Since the kidnapping all of them had changed but they realized that some normal things came back. The two sisters arguing was one of it.

"Phoebe. Leave Sam alone.", Brooke defended her oldest one from behind and suppressed a laugh when Phoebe looked back shocked at her.

"But moooooom, she can do it in her room. I wanna be here too.", she protested and stood up with crossed arms.

"Are you okay?", Brooke slumped down besides Sam.

"Oh my god. Could you all just be quiet? I want to do my homework.", Sam leaned back frustrated. Brooke took the book that Sam had to read in school and finally understood her mood. It was a book about a teenager being pregnant and in the end having problems raising the child. She half went on top of her daughter and looked her into the eye. "How about getting out a little?"

Sam had tears in her eyes and took a deep breath, "I'm okay, mom."

"No, you are not. I can tell that. Lady's day, huh?", Brooke kissed her cheek and Sam started to sob a little but nodded.

Meanwhile Julian was outside with Kevin. "Hey Kevin, how about a men's day today?"

"Um…okay.", Kevin answered a little unsure what that exactly meant. Of course Julian did not know that Brooke would spent the day with Sam. "Phoebe. Come over.", Julian saw Phoebe running around with Lucky and hoped that she would react okay. He pulled her onto his lap and then hugged her tightly.

"Kevin and I will do a men's day today.", he immediately felt how she stiffened up "and…"

"Can't we go all together?", Phoebe slung her arms around her father and whined.

"No, it's a day only for men but we promise to come back with a little gift, okay?", Phoebe shook her head but finally nodded and then ran inside to hug Brooke from behind.

"Hey kiddo.", Brooke looked back and tickled her a little. She was glad that Phoebe allowed her to touch her again without shivering and that she started to smile more. Of course she could still not sleep alone and she had her panic attacks but everything started to get better. Slowly but still it was a progress.

"Phoebe, the two of us, Sam and I, would like to do something alone today.", Brooke knew that it was a big task for Phoebe. Phoebe had been like a magnet to Brooke but she knew that Sam needed her too and Mrs. Jones had talked to them and said that Phoebe needs to learn that when people leave, that they will come back and that nothing will happen to her again. Phoebe did not say a word and just sat on Brooke's lap and started to suck her thumb and leaned back. It hurt Sam that Phoebe still felt so unsafe and she wanted to say that Phoebe could come with them but Brooke squeezed her hand and made her stop.

"How about you do something fun today with Julian and Kevin until we come back in the evening with a little present for you?", Brooke suggested and hoped that Phoebe would start talking but she did not. Instead she started to cry. Lucky immediately went over to her and rested his head in her lap.

"Sweetheart. You don't need to cry. It's just a few hours and we will come back in the evening.", Brooke went through her little daughter's hair and hoped that Phoebe would calm down.

"But I don't want to be alone.", Phoebe turned around and hugged Brooke tightly while she cried into her shoulder, "Can't I go with you? Please."

It broke Brooke's heart to hear Phoebe pleading but she knew that it was time to push Phoebe a little away. She could not be there every moment and she knew it was the best for Phoebe as well.

"Do you think you could give us three hours? I really want to spend some time with your big sister alone and after that I tuck you in and you can tell me everything that happened while we were away?", Phoebe held Brooke as tight as possible and did not want to let go of her and could not stop crying. It was too much for her and all her fears came up again.

"Can't I come with you? I will behave and if you don't want me to talk, I won't do it. You won't even know that I am there.", she pleaded again.

"Oh honey. Sam and I need to talk a little about things that don't interest you. You would be bored to death.", Brooke hoped that this was an argument that would convince Phoebe. Of course Mrs. Jones had told what they needed to do if nothing worked. Julian should just take her away from Brooke and let her scream after them. But the last time Brooke could not stay away for more than ten minutes because she had heard Phoebe screaming and crying hysterically after her. She did not want Phoebe to go through it again and saw this method as a torture.

"I don't mind.", Phoebe answered with her finger in her mouth.

"Honey. You know what we've talked about. I have to go out sometimes without you. And you need to learn to feel safe without me."

"But daddy is away with Kevin.", Phoebe whispered and feared that she would have to stay alone at home. Brooke looked confused up at Julian who heard the last part. Both of them realized their fault but knew that it would not be fair for the other kids either. Luckily Victoria came into the house in the right moment. Phoebe leaned on Brooke's chest and then whispered, "Can I cuddle ten minutes with you and then you go?"

Brooke nodded happily and Sam jumped up, "Thank you Phoebe.", she kissed her sister's forehead.

Fifteen minutes later Phoebe got off Brooke's lap and tried to suppress her tears. But they fell down and she did not want to let go of Brooke and cried heavily, "Honey, I promise. We come back.", Brooke kneed in front of her and almost cried as well because she knew how tough this was for her youngest daughter. The kidnapping had damaged her pretty bad. "Please take me with you. I'll be good. I promise. I can just walk behind you and I don't listen and…and you don't have to talk to me."

"Oh my goooood.", Victoria screamed.

"What is it?", Brooke asked confused.

"My friend just called. You know the one that has all those animals. Horses and pigs and so on."

"And?", Brooke did not really understand her intention.

"Well, he said that the baby horse was just born and he would allow two people to come and see it."

Phoebe wiped her tears and looked up at Victoria. "How about Phoebe comes with you?", Sam suggested with a smile and hoped that Phoebe was buying it. Phoebe immediately leaned closer to Brooke and did not stop crying and held her tightly.

"I think that this is a great idea. You love animals Phoebe.", Brooke looked down at her crying daughter with a soft smile.

"Oh Phoebs. I would really enjoy having you at my side. Pleeeeeaaaase.", she opened his arms and Phoebe looked at Victoria and finally let go of Brooke and went into Victoria's arms. Brooke whispered a "Thank you" into her mother's ear and then she kissed Phoebe who was up in his arms with her finger in her mouth and tried to be brave. Nevertheless the tears streamed down her face and her eyes were dark red, "I don't want you to go mommy."

"Just a few hours honey. And I come back, I promise. I know you can do it Phoebe and you have to tell me everything about the horses later, okay?", she had her hands around Phoebe's head and hoped that her daughter would agree.

"I love you.", Brooke said and took her jacket.

It was not only a big task for Phoebe, it was hard for Brooke as well and she wiped a tear when she closed the door and heard her daughter crying in her husband's arms.

"Noooooooooooo. Mommy. Mommy. Nooooooooo.", she heard Phoebe running to the door and trying to open it but knew that Victoria would be there for her. She held her tight and rocked her back and forth while Phoebe looked like she would suffocate from her own tears and she had to cough a few times.

"It's okay Phoebe. Your mom will come back and until she is away we spend time together and try to have fun. It's okay Phoebe.", she had tears in his eyes as well and knew that Brooke was still standing outside and leaning at the door and crying herself.

Brooke and Julian stayed outside until they heard Phoebe calming down a little. Brooke wiped her own tears and had to take a deep breath. Her biggest daughter walked over to her and smiled at her and gave her a soft hug, something she needed so desperately right now while Julian and Kevin started to walk to the shopping center.

Brooke and Sam were walking around outside. Both of them enjoyed each others' present very much and Brooke had her arm around her oldest daughter. She realized again how old Sam was in contrary to Kevin and Phoebe. "How about we go into a restaurant?", Brooke suggested and Sam immediately nodded. It did not take long that the first tears came out of Sam's eyes.

"I don't know what's wrong with me, mom."

"Try to explain it to me, Sammy.", Brooke felt her eyes getting wet as well and watched her broken daughter.

"I feel so unlovable…"

"But…"

"Please just listen mom."

"I…I mean I got pregnant. I can't take care of myself and it just showed that I'm a failure. Nobody needs someone like me in her life. And Ben is so nice and caring but I know that he'll leave me sooner or later because….because there are girls out there that are prettier, smarter and especially happier than I am. I don't want to be a burden for everyone.", she cried into her hands.

Brooke was sobbing now too and took her arm around the teenager. "Look at me, Sam. First of all, you're not a burden to anyone. We all love you and life without you would break me into pieces. You know how much I changed when Phoebe was kidnapped."

Sam nodded and remembered the lost Brooke without any hope in her eyes. "I would be the same if it was you because you're my daughter. It's okay to feel unhappy or brood at times, honey. We are all going through a hard phase and everyone deals differently with it. Just be you. Don't hide yourself. And of course there'll always be girls that are prettier, smarter or happier. Trust me, I know that. But you are enough for the people that love you. You are more than enough for me, Julian, Kevin, Ben and Phoebe and a lot of more people. There is only one you."

"But I don't know how to be happy, mom. I mean…I'm happy…more than happy…I can breathe again that Phoebe's…alive.", the tears streamed out of her eyes and she had to take a deep breath. "But so much changed and I feel like I can't control anything any more and I know that dad and you are mad at me because…because I was pregnant but you never say anything and I'm so sorry mom. I'm so sorry."

"Honey, yes we are mad to be honest and Julian can't stop talking about it."

"Really?", Sam answered with a shocked face.

"Honey, he's your dad and knows you have sex. It's not something he wanted so fast or ever. And I kind of agree with him but it's too late. Julian and I talked a lot about it and we want to talk to you and Ben soon."

"Moooooom.", Sam whined.

"No, Samantha. It's important and you are right. We are mad but what we're even more is worried. We want the best for all of our children.", Brooke kissed Sam's forehead.

"I missed talking to you."

"Trust me, I missed that too and I realize again that you're so much older than your siblings."

"You realize that now. Thanks, mom.", Sam laughed and slapped her softly.

"Well, sorry. Sometimes I can't tell whose older, you or Kevin.", Brooke smiled wildly and then started eating.

"Can we do that more often? I mean mother-daughters days?", Sam asked hoping that Brooke would agree.

"I can't believe that my sixteen-years-old teenage daughter just asked me that. Of course you can but normally kids in your age want to spend as less times as possible with their parents. I think you are sick.", she touched Sam's forehead as a joke.

"Hahaha. Very funny. I just like talking to you and you're not like other moms cause to be honest, you're not that much older as I am.", Sam smirked and Brooke nodded. "I love you mom."

"I love you too."

The two of them talked for hours about everything with lots of tears but it was necessary.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Meanwhile Kevin and Julian were in the shopping center. "I hate shopping.", Kevin said bored and looked at some pullovers.

"Me too but you've grown so fast that you need new clothes.", he looked down at Kevin who was really way bigger than some weeks ago.

"I know. Maybe I'll be a big man.", Kevin smiled happily and took some pullovers.

"I bet you'll be. Look at me. I am big.", Julian said proudly and looked at the pullovers and then nodded. "Okay, so how about we do something fun now?"

"Okay and what?", Kevin asked excited.

"I'm in the mood for this new public swimming bath with all those waves.", Julian suggested. "Let's buy swimming shorts, okay?"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A little later the two of them sprang into the water again and again with doing a stunt. Both of them laughed all the time. "I bet I can jump higher."

"You're already higher, dad but you'll lose.", the started to run and jumped into the water again. Kevin almost jumped on top of a girl and apologized with a red face.

"Hey, you're Kevin, right?", the girl asked him curiously.

"Yes."

"I'm in one of your classes. I'm Paulina.", she smiled and immediately Kevin felt butterflies in his stomach. "Can I make those stunts with you?"

"Sure.", Julian could not believe that Kevin was already in the age where he would be interested in girls. The three of them went onto the spring-board and jumped into the water.

"I want to do the highest.", Paulina said, "You too?"

"Um…okay.", Kevin answered unsure, "Dad. Come on."

"No, I'm fine.", Julian answered. To be honest, he was a little afraid of height. Kevin came over to him and started to whisper.

"Please dad. I don't know what to talk to her.", Kevin admitted, "Please."

"Okay, fine.", Julian pretended to be brave but on top of the board when he looked down he started to shiver.

"Are you afraid Mr. Baker?", Paulina asked caring.

"Nooooo. Of course not.", Julian lied.

Paulina and Kevin looked at each other and then burst out into laughing. Kevin shook his head and then sprang. Actually he was really good and Paulina started to admire him and jumped too.

"Okay, you can do it. Just…close your eyes and…", he jumped but probably all people looked at him because he was screaming extremely loud. Paulina and Kevin could not stop laughing at him and started to dunk down the other one.

"Bye Kevin. See you at school.", Paulina said an hour later. Kevin just nodded cool and then took a deep breath.

"Why are you looking like that?"

"You like her. My son likes a girl.", Julian teased him.

"I do not.", Kevin complained and pushed him into the water and jumped on top of him and wrestled around with his dad. Both of them needed such moments.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"God, I'm starving.", Kevin said in the car and Julian nodded.

"Fast food time.", Julian answered.

"Brooke hates when we eat fast food."

"Well, I'm not Brooke.", Julian smirked and the two of them went into a fast food restaurant.

"I really enjoyed the day, Kevin.", Julian said and hoped that Kevin did too.

"Yeah, me too. Maybe we can do that more often?"

"Of course we can.", Julian said proudly and realized how different it was to have a son. He was glad that Kevin came into their lives. "So tell me, how is school."

"It's okay. My teachers are nice but some pupils made fun of me.", Kevin admitted and Julian looked shocked at him.

"Why?"

"Dad. I play chess and love math.", Kevin smiled.

"Oh, I hated that. I know how it is. I was exactly the same but I hope they are not too hard on you? You have to tell us if they are."

"No, it's okay. Some girls defended me and they stopped.", Kevin smiled.

"Oh…girls seem to like you.", Julian teased him.

"Daaad. Stop that. They are just nice to me.", he rolled his eyes and took another bite.

"So, you're okay with school?"

"Yes, I like it. It's a little hard sometimes because Phoebs is so clingy but I think she's just afraid.", Julian realized how brave his son was.

"You know that I'm so proud of you, Kevin.", Kevin looked confused at him.

"Why?"

"You take so much care of us all and I know you must be confused with everything that happened and…I'll be always there for you. No matter what, okay?"

"Okay.", Kevin nodded. Julian was glad that Mrs. Jones helped them all to open up. Especially Kevin started to talk more and to find his place in the family.

"Dad. Um…could…could we…well, Mrs. Jones said I just have to ask…could we go to mom's grave? Only if it's okay, if not then…"

"Of course. We do it right now.", Julian answered promptly.

"But Phoebe…", Julian took his hand into his and squeezed it.
"I love how much you care and that makes me very proud of you but Brooke and I are the grown-ups, you don't need to worry about everything."

"Okay, but we should buy her a present. I don't want my baby sis to be sad, okay?"

Julian could tell that the bond between Phoebe and Kevin was a very special one. He suddenly imagined the two of them being thirteen and sixteen and wondered how they'd be then.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Like a wonder Sam, Brooke, Julian and Kevin met when all of them were walking home. "Oh my god, what did you do to your hair?", Brooke asked shocked and looked at Julian and Kevin.
"We were at the hairdresser.", Julian went through his new hairstyling. Sam burst out into laughing when he saw the identical hairstyle. Both of them now had dark black hair and a lot of gel in it so that it was standing up.

"You look good but you look ridiculous.", Brooke looked with a grimace at her husband, "You're not a teenager, honey."

Julian looked hurt at her and then walked faster with his arm around Kevin, "Well, we like it."

Brooke looked shocked at Sam, "They look like Frankenstein.", Sam could not stop laughing and nodded. Both of them shrieked when Julian and Kevin came back running. Julian started to tickle Brooke and finally kissed her while Kevin had no chance against Sam. Sam knew that sooner or later he'd be bigger than her.

"Ewww….if you want to have sex then don't do it here.", Kevin said and all of them looked shocked at him. "I'm not five.", he whined.

"I think we need to have the talk with you.", Brooke went through his hair but he slapped her hand away because she almost ruined his hairstyle.

"Hahahaha. Good luck.", Sam teased Kevin.

"But…I know how everything works. I don't want to talk about it with… you.", Kevin whined.

"Nope. Not with me. You got Julian. I already have Phoebe when she's a little older.", Brooke said.

"We'll drink beer and watch TV in our underwear and I'll tell you how everything works.", Julian joked but only received slaps from the girls but Kevin laughed hard and high-fived him. The four of them enjoyed the funny and calm moment and hoped that Phoebe had had a good day as well. When they opened the door they heard a male voice. Brooke's face immediately started to turn into a shocked one and her smile was gone. She saw Phoebe sitting on the man's lap while they looked at pictures and he talked to her. It seemed like Victoria was gone and had left the two of them alone. Brooke went out of her trance and walked over to the two of them.

"Mom.", Phoebe smiled happily but shrieked when Brooke pulled her down of his lap and looked madly at the man.

"Go.", Brooke just said.

"Brooke…I….", the man answered with a soft face.

"Don't talk to me, just go and leave us alone.", Brooke said harshly. Both of them looked at each other and did not say a word for some time.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I'm sorry that it's "too" much Phoebe in the beginning but I wrote these scenes a long time ago and I somehow did not want to delete them. But I promise to try my best to include the others more. Are there specific scenes you would love to see?

Have a great week!
