"Jamie, bed time.", Haley said when she looked at her clock. Her daughter was already in bed and sleeping peacefully, "Tomorrow school starts again." Jamie rolled his eyes while Phoebe smiled proudly.

"Yes right kiddo, go to bed. Now that I live again at the Baker manor I can go to bed whenever I want, eat whatever I want, watch every movie and..." sometimes Phoebe was being her old one, but she did not realize that Haley stood behind her and was listening to her little speech.

"Is that so?", Haley asked with a grin on her face and Brooke crossed her arms in front of her and looked down at Phoebe. She was happy that Haley had talked to her minutes ago, that in her opinion Phoebe still had too much freedom for an eleven year old.

"Well, things change.", Brooke sat down on the couch besides Phoebe, "Julian and I talked about some rules."

"Rules?", Phoebe asked smiling, "I don't need rules.", she crossed her arms in front of her as well and Haley had to suppress a laugh. Brooke and Phoebe were looking like twins.

"Well, we think you do. Like every other eleven year old.", Julian said while sitting on the other side.

"Okay, then spill it. What rules?", Phoebe rolled her eyes. There was no way that someone got to tell her what to do and she knew that she would definitely break their rules some day.

"First of all, no movies which aren't appropriate for you. Secondly, bedtime at eight. You can read till nine but after that no light. Breakfast is at 7 and no sweets for dinner any more and..."

Phoebe widened her eyes in shock. Those were many rules not just a few. "Are you two crazy? I thought you were cool but now you sound like a horror version of a mom and dad.", Phoebe growled while Jamie was smiling hard. "First of all, I can never sleep at nine cause it's not even dark then and a teenager doesn't need 10 hours of sleep. Okay, I can deal with watching appropriate movies. As long as I decide whether it's appropriate or not."

Jamie was stunned. He would never argue like that with his parents. Brooke tried to stay calm, "We don't care whether you think these rules are appropriate or not. We are responsible for you. If you don't follow them, well, then there is no pocket money, no cheerleading, no Joshua and you will be grounded."

Phoebe widened her eyes in shock again; "Grounded? I've never been grounded in my whole life and don't see a sense in it idiot."

"Oh no, here it comes", Julian moved from the couch when he realized that Brooke was going to burst out in just a minute, "How many times do I have to tell you, that you should stop calling me an idiot", she screamed and both sisters stood up.

"Well, I stop calling you one, when you stop being one.", Phoebe answered. Haley, Nathan and Jamie were surprised by their sudden outburst.

"You are so grounded young miss.", Brooke said harsh.

"Did you listen to me old miss? I don't care whether I am grounded or not. You cannot make me stay at home. You are not my mother"

"Okay, this is it.", Brooke said and went to the kitchen to get Phoebe's bag. She took out Phoebe's mobile and pressed a key to shut it down, "No mobile for two weeks. No key. I take you to school and get you back."

"What? Give me my mobile!", Phoebe jumped up and ran to Brooke. But Brooke was faster and ran to the other side. "Give it to me you slut", Phoebe said being really furious. Sometimes she could not control herself any more when she was arguing with someone.

Suddenly Brooke lost her temper and threw the mobile on the floor and jumped on it. "Here, you can have it.", Brooke said and gave it to a stunned Phoebe. Phoebe stopped screaming and just looked at her mobile in pure shock. Haley got in the middle of them, when she saw Brooke's eyes getting wet. Then Brooke left the room and whispered, "I cannot do this any more."

Phoebe had heard that whisper and looked after her sister and Julian who followed his wife. She had never seen Brooke having such an outburst and was kind of surprised. "I am a terrible sister.", Brooke cried in his arms.

"No honey. You're not.", Julian said and hugged Brooke tight and kissed away her tears. "Julian. I don't know what to do! I think she hates me."

"What? She does not hate you. She is just not used having someone who takes care of her and actually wants what is best for her. Step by Step honey." Brooke looked at him and then saw the little figure standing unsure in the corner. She smiled weakly and went to her.

"I am sorry Phoebe. I should not have broken your mobile." Phoebe smiled weakly back and then hugged her sister tightly and whispered, "Can we go now? I think it's past my bedtime and...I am sorry too."

Brooke, Julian and Phoebe said goodbye to the others and went into the car. When Phoebe opened the backseat she was surprised "What is this?", she asked although knowing what it was.

"Just safety. Now get in.", Julian answered and was happy that Phoebe didn't say more than, "It's like living life backwards, gosh" and sat down on the child car seat. Brooke smiled at her husband and took his hands. She knew that everything would be okay in the end because she had him. When she looked at her little sister she saw a sleeping version of her with the head rested on the window. Brooke often wished that she had known Phoebe earlier. That she could have been the one raising her. Not the orphanage or an abusive father. Of course she was curious about her past but she did not want to push Phoebe. Step by step, like Julian said every day.

When they arrived Julian took Phoebe out of the car and into his arms and laid her in her bed. Slowly he took off her shoes and tucked her in.

"You know that you're great with her, right?", Brooke kissed him at the cheek when he entered the kitchen. Julian nodded and then took his wife on his lap and kissed her neck. "Julian.", she moaned. He knew that whenever he did this she lost control very fast so he did not stop. "Julian. Not here. She could...", but Julian just lifted Brooke into his arms and went to the bedroom. All the while he did not stop kissing her neck. "That's so good.", Brooke whispered when his hands went under her shirt and caressed her breasts. He slowly went down to her belly and then took off her jeans, so that she was only dressed in her underwear.

"Why is it that I am always the first one being naked?", she smiled and took off his shirt as well. Both of them knew, that they would have a great night.

The next morning Phoebe protested again, "But normally I don't eat in the morning."

"Do you have to complain about everything?", Julian asked her being tired himself. "Yes.", Phoebe whined and jumped back into her bed. She was definitely starting the day with a bad mood.

"Well, you two are really alike", Julian laughed and went into their bedroom,"Honey.", he whispered.

"What?", Brooke asked a little too harsh. She was still tired and hated it when someone woke her up although she could sleep a bit longer.

"She is just like you. Definitely not a morning person.", so he took Brooke's blanket away. "Julian", she screamed and ran into the bed of her sister to feel warm again. "Brooooooke.", Phoebe was now complaining, "gimme just five more minutes, okay?", but Brooke just hugged her tightly and answered, "You get ten but you have to endure them with me."

"Fine.", Phoebe said and snuggled into Brooke's arm. She did not want to admit that she loved every morning with her big sister. Ten minutes later Julian took a picture of the sisters while sleeping peacefully. Then he jumped on the bed as well.

"God Julian. Do you really have to be such a morning person?", Brooke asked tired and stood up and took Phoebe with her who tried to get more sleep,"I am definitely not that bad as you, Phoebe.", with that she took her sister with her and pushed her into the bathroom. Half an hour later Brooke and Phoebe were coming into the kitchen dressed and prepared for work and school.

"What would we do without you?", Brooke gave Julian a good-morning-kiss.

"Well. Big Brooke would be late for her business meetings and little Brooke for school", he smiled at them but only received an evil look from Phoebe.

"Stop calling me little Brooke."

"Yeah well, I am sorry. But you look so cute just, like this one here when she was little.", Julian pinched Phoebe's cheek and then showed her a picture of Brooke at age 12. He wanted to give it to Phoebe but Brooke pulled it out of his hand.

"Oh Julian. Where did you find this? Look how sweet I look.", Brooke admired herself which arose Phoebe's attention. She stood up and looked at the picture and wondered, "Okay you got a point. We did look alike but nevertheless I am not little Brooke."

Phoebe sat down again and ate her bread.

"Shit, I have to go", Brooke suddenly jumped up from the chair and looked for her purse. It was a procedure that was happening almost every morning.

"Honey, did you see my purse?", she asked confused and ran around.

"It is right in front of you.", Julian answered and could not believe how silly Brooke sometimes looked, especially in the morning. Both of them, Phoebe and Julian, shared a sweet smile.

"Right. Thanks.", she answered and took on her shoes and ran to him to give him a kiss, "I have a business meeting with Bitchtoria. So I'll be home late. Could you...?", Brooke tried to plead him.

"I got it.", he smiled at her and pushed her out of their door.

"And you Phoebe. I'll see you tonight.", she gave her a fast kiss on the cheek "Just...stay out of trouble, ok."

Phoebe rolled her eyes, "Whatever.", she answered and then looked back at Julian who sat down in front of her and read the news. Finally he asked, "Ready for school?". "Never.", Phoebe answered and took her bag and went with him to his car.

"I'll catch you at three, okay?", Julian said after her when she got out of the car and into the school. He waited a bit and did not like what he saw. Joshua was coming towards her and gave her a kiss.

"Good morning sweetie.", he took her hand and both of them walked into the school. Julian could not stand the idea of Phoebe and Joshua being together. It was just not normal. So he went out of the car and walked after them into school. Of course he knew that it was not right to spy on Phoebe but he just had to do it.
