"Hey P. Sawyer-Jaglieski" Brooke called walking into Red Bedroom Records carrying Isaiah in her arms.
"IN HERE" Peyton called from the back of the studio.
"Let's go see Aunt Peyton" Brooke cooed running a hand through Isaiah's dirty blonde hair.
Isaiah babbled loudly and incoherently and pointed a pudgy fist at the back of the room. Brooke smiled and placed a kiss on her son's temple as she made her way to the back of the studio.
"Whatca doing best friend?" Brooke asked walking into Peyton's office and laughing softly at the mess piled on the floor all around Peyton.
"Just trying to get organized…I'm lonely without a kid running around here" Peyton sighed as she pulled her brown hair into a pony tail.
"Where's Hayden?" Brooke swayed with Isaiah on her hip as he looked around the room at all of the dark colors and bright lights in Peyton's office.
Peyton stood up from the floor and walked over to Brooke and cooed at Isaiah "Hey fat kid"
Brooke laughed and handed Isaiah to Peyton. Peyton took Isaiah from Brooke and blew and kissed his chubby cheek softly. "It's so funny cause he's so much bigger than Hannah was at this age…she was a little bit of nothing and this one's a little pudge"
"I know….it makes him all the more handsome though….and plus….I think he and Lucas sneak a midnight snack…I mean now that Isaiah can chew…Lucas feeds him everything" Brooke explained and made a face at Isaiah who's smile went all the way up to his bright blue eyes, proudly showing off his dimples.
"Where is Luke by the way?" Peyton asked looking around at the mess in the room before looking at Brooke.
"Hannah's sick….she's got a terrible cold and ear ache she cried all night last night…and Luke took her to the doctor for me" Brooke explained.
"Aww….poor thing….maybe that's why she was so cranky the other day when we went to the block party in town" Peyton handed Isaiah back to Brooke.
"I know….I kind of feel bad for Luke at the pediatrician with a sick 2 year old all by himself….I'll make it up to him though" Brooke explained taking her son back from Peyton.
"Like I really want to know that" Peyton said furrowing her brow.
"What?….you don't know what I'm talking about…I was talking about us having a nice dinner after the kids are asleep…you know the usual the lights down low, candlelight dinner, and if we happen to have sex on the kitchen counter…hmm so be it" Brooke said as she sat Isaiah down on the ground. The 8 month old took off crawling to the stash of toys that Peyton kept in the corner of the room for Hayden.
Peyton groaned and went back to trying to organize her office. Brooke followed her and knelt down on the ground as she went through the boxes of stuff. "You're too much Davis-Scott"

Lucas walked into the pediatrician with a half asleep Hannah. He walked up to the desk and signed in with the receptionist before taking a seat in the waiting room.
"Hannah…baby girl let daddy take your sweater off" Lucas asked pulling Hannah back from where she had her head buried in his neck.
"No" Hannah said shaking her head and curling back up into Lucas.
"Hannah you're going to get hot….get down for a second and let's take your coat off" Lucas said putting Hannah down on the ground so she was standing.
"Daddy…no" Hannah pleaded as Lucas slipped her sweater off and she struggled to get back into his lap.
"It's ok Hannah" Lucas pulled Hannah back into his lap and Hannah grabbed her ear and cried.
Lucas ran a hand down Hannah's back and he rocked with her in the chair. "I know baby girl you don't feel good…we're going to fix it"
After a few moments Hannah raised her head up off of Lucas's chest and looked over at the kids playing in the corner. "Look daddy"
Lucas kissed Hannah's head softly and looked over to what she was pointing to. "You want to go and play…go play baby"
"No" Hannah rested her head back against Lucas's chest and ran her hand across his shirt.

Brooke sat in front of Isaiah as she fed him some dinner. "Is that good handsome?"
Isaiah swallowed his mashed carrots that Brooke fed him he yawned and looked at Brooke. "Dada"
"No…Mama" Brooke coaxed and pointed at herself.
"Dada" Isaiah called and smacked his hands down on his high chair table.
"No…I'm Mama" Brooke said as she scooped another spoonful of carrots to feed to Isaiah.
Isaiah took a bite of carrot and looked at Brooke. "Dada"
"You know I gave birth to you and sit up with you when you're teething…and is this the thanks I get?" Brooke teased.
"Dada" Isaiah called as the door opened and Lucas walked in with a sleeping Hannah.
"What's up little man?" Lucas asked setting his car keys and Hannah's prescription down on the table.
"So what did the doctor say?" Brooke asked sitting Isaiah's bowl of baby food down on the table out of reach of Isaiah and got up to go over to Lucas.
"She's got a bad ear infection…they gave her some drops and they put a few in at the doctors office and Brooke I'm not kidding they literally had to hold her down cause she was screaming and crying so loud" Lucas said running a hand down Hannah's back as he talked to Brooke.
"Aw…my poor girl" Brooke said and took Hannah from Lucas. "Did she eat when you took her out to dinner?"
"Um…a little….not a whole lot but she ate more than she did yesterday" Lucas said and walked over to Isaiah.
"Will you finish feeding him for me please?….I'll put her to bed" Brooke walked out of the kitchen and down the hall into Hannah's room.
"I will" Lucas smiled and took the baby food off of the table and started to finish feeding Isaiah.

One Week Later.
"I don't know what to do she cries all the time….I haven't slept….I know I'm doing something wrong" Rachel whined as she swayed with Abby in her arms.
Brooke and Haley looked at Rachel and couldn't help but laugh. It was a side of Rachel no one had seen before. She was dressed is sweats and had her hair pulled up on to of her head in a bun as she tried to soothe a crying Abby.
"Rachel…you're doing fine" Haley assured.
"No….I can't do this….she hates me….she never cries when Mouth holds her…only me and I don't know why….I mean I gave birth to her…I thought that was supposed to mean something" Rachel said as she started to panic.
"Rachel….you just need to relax…she can tell that you're uptight" Brooke explained.
"Here…take her…I just…need a break" Rachel pleaded handing the baby to Brooke.
Brooke took Abby from Rachel and took a seat back next to Haley. "Aw…Abigail Katherine…you're giving your mommy a hard time"
"It's about time someone did….I mean all the crap she put us all through in high school is finally coming back on her" Haley joked.
"Haley…be nice" Brooke teased looking at her friend and then down at the baby.
"What….I'm always nice…I feel so lost without Jamie and Leah not here….I've never officially been alone for more than 24 hours with Nathan since before Jamie was born" Haley explained.
"I can't believe that your mom and dad are taking them on that little RV for a whole week" Brooke laughed.
"I know my mom and dad are braver than I am can you imagine being on an RV with 2 kids under the age of 7?" Haley asked.
"Yeah…but you know that you and Nathan are excited to have a few days alone" Brooke teased.
"Oh yeah…you know unlike you and Lucas….Nathan and I don't have sex every chance that we get" Haley teased.
"Ha Ha" Brooke mocked as she finally got Abby to sleep.
"Ha Ha" Haley mocked right back.
Rachel walked into the living room and looked at Brooke, "Oh god you're never aloud to leave my house ever again"
"Yeah….I don't think so" Brooke said standing up and handing Abby back to Rachel.
"Well I have to get going Nathan will be home soon" Haley said standing up.
"Yeah…me too I've got plans with Lucas tonight" Brooke smiled and went to pick up her purse.
"Oh please guys don't leave me" Rachel pleaded.
"Rachel…you're going to be fine….just relax…you are doing a good job" Haley assured.
"Yeah….Rachel it's fine…I mean when Hannah was born I called Karen and Haley every 5 minutes begging for help….I thought I was going to lose my mind" Brooke laughed.
"Fine…you two tramps can leave…go…get out of here…go have your married people sex and leave me here…with no clue what I'm doing" Rachel frowned.
"I'll call you tomorrow" Brooke said and she walked out the door.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Haley looked over her menu as she tried to decide what she wanted to eat. "I don't know what I want"
"Hales, just pick something…anything that you want" Nathan assured as he closed his menu and sat it down on the table.
"I wonder how my mom and dad are doing with Jamie and Leah on that little RV all by themselves?" Haley asked taking a sip of her wine.
"I don't know….you know Jamie he's always excited over road trips and Leah is into everything now…I give your parents credit I wouldn't take the two of them in an RV for a week…it's hard enough driving to church and everywhere else with them" Nathan laughed.
"I know…gosh do you remember the time when we were going to the basketball game and the two of them fought in the backseat all the way there" Haley said shuddering as she thought back to what was supposed to be a fun family experience.
"I know…I mean who knew such a loud shrill scream could come out of such a little girl" Nathan said shaking his head.
"I miss them" Haley sighed.
Nathan looked over the table at Haley "Me too"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"STOP IT JENNY" Emily screamed as her big sister chased her through the house. Emily ran into her princess themed bedroom and slammed the door.
"Mommy wants me to get you ready for bed Emily come here so I can brush your hair" Jenny yelled as she opened the white wood door to her little sisters room.
"GET OUT OF MY ROOM" Emily screamed.
"You're 5 years old I'll be in your room if I want to be" Jenny said simply as she rolled her eyes.
"Just cause you're nine doesn't make you any better than me" Emily said picking up her teddy bear.
"You need to grow up…you big kindergarten baby" Jenny said.
"I AM NOT A BABY….MOMMY!!!!" Emily screamed.
Peyton walked into the bedroom her shirt was soaked from where she had just given Hayden a bath. "I don't know what the two of you are fighting about but the both of you need to get in bed right now"
"But mommy it's Friday…Hannah Montana 3D movie concert is on" Jenny pouted.
"Jenny mommy doesn't care…mommy had a hard day at work today…she's been in meetings with big mean men who think they know what's best for mommy's record company" Peyton sighed.
"What's a meeting?" Emily asked wrapping her arms around Peyton's legs.
"It's…nothing for you to worry about" Peyton assured.
"Can we go watch Hannah Montana?….please?….I'll be the only one at school who hasn't watched it" Jenny pleaded.
Peyton sighed and gave up the fight "Fine…but be quiet"
"We will" Jenny and Emily both said and took off to the hallway.
"Girls I'm serious DO NOT wake your little brother up" Peyton warned.
"We won't" Jenny said.
Peyton picked up the toys and clothes that were scattered around Emily's room and went into her and Jake's room to change. She walked up to the dresser and pulled her shirt off.
"You know you really shouldn't undress like that in front of me…it's not fair to me since our daughters are still up" Jake said leaning against the doorframe.
"You don't even know the day I had" Peyton sighed as she dressed in her pajamas.
"I'm sorry babe…maybe I can make it better" Jake said and walked over to Peyton and wrapped his arms around her.
"How was work?" Peyton asked and buried her face in his neck.
"What can I say it was work…things are better now that I'm with you" Jake kissed the top of Peyton's head and pulled her over to the bed so that she could sit in his lap.
"Jenny and Emily have been arguing ever since they came home from school…and your son has decided that splashing is his new favorite thing" Peyton yawned as she talked to Jake.
"Mmm…sounds like you had a rough day….how about a massage?" Jake asked.
"That would be so great…it's like you read my mind" Peyton smiled.
"Good cause my back is killing me"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I love this movie" Brooke said as she curled deeper into Lucas's arms as they stretched out on the couch. Hannah and Isaiah had both fallen asleep early and Brooke and Lucas were enjoying their alone time.
"Yeah…it's ok….I just feel like Adam Sandler has done better work" Lucas said turning his gaze from the TV to look at Brooke.
"Luke come on…it's perfect…what's not to like?…I mean it is so romantic…he makes her fall in love with him everyday…and the little penguin is so cute" Brooke gushed.
"I didn't say it was a bad movie…I just like Mr. Deeds better" Lucas said with a yawn.
"Yeah….I do like Mr. Deeds" Brooke smiled and stretched deeper into Lucas.
Lucas laughed softly "Brooke any closer and you're going to be on top of me"
Brooke tilted her head and kissed Lucas on his stubbled chin. "It's not like you don't want me there"
"Mmm….well you read my mind" Lucas smiled and leaned down to kiss Brooke.
KNOCK KNOCK
"I wonder who that could be this late?" Brooke said and moved from where she was half on top of Lucas.
"I don't know but I think we need to invest in a "DO NOT DISTURB" sign" Lucas complained and he rolled off of the couch.
"Aww…my poor baby…don't worry when I get rid of whoever is at the door I'll rock your world" Brooke teased as she walked backwards to the front door.
"You know you always say that and somehow it never happens" Lucas sighed and hung his head in shame.
"Yeah and that's why we have two kids…we never have sex" Brooke laughed and opened the door.
Her smile slowly fell when she saw the person on the other side, "Victoria"

I don't know about you guys but I am so bummed about the Leyton crap….I just roll my eyes…Is it just me or do Peyton and Julian have way more chemistry in 2 episodes of OTH than Lucas and Peyton have had in like the history of the show. It's been a pretty exciting/scary week….first off I am SO EXCITED that James and Sophia are officially together…they're my new FAVORITE couple….Although I'm sad that I lost James….I didn't even see it coming….I wondered why he was so distant lately…now I know…Oh well I lost him to what I feel is to a worthy opponent. Someone tried to break into my house last Wednesday night that was pretty scary. It kind of makes me upset that all the Lucas and Peyton shippers are happy that Lucas is finally "fighting for" Peyton. Again, I roll my eyes because I don't know what show they've been watching for the last 6 years but the show I've been watching he's ALWAYS rescuing Peyton….If you want my opinion Peyton can take care of herself. I also think its kind of dumb that they're trying to make a big Leyton fight out of the whole Julian thing…Lucas doesn't have a reason to be mad at Peyton…did he honestly expect her to just pine for him for 4 years and not have a life? That's not realistic….if I'm being honest he can't be mad at her when he moved on with Lindsey….They weren't together it doesn't matter. I mean sure Peyton should have told Lucas but still the both of them need to quit their high school drama if they have any hope on a marriage together….I mean I absolutely HATE Leyton together but in Peyton's defense for once in my life Lucas doesn't have a reason to be mad at her….I just wish that Lucas would come to his senses and open his eyes and realize that Brooke is who he's supposed to be with and while what he and Peyton had was nice in high school it's a platonic love that's part of their past.
