Hey guys! Back with a new chapter, I hope that you like it.
"You just wait until you try this mac and cheese Hannah, you're going to love it" Lucas said as he stirred the pot of macaroni on the stove.
"Daddy" Hannah said from her chair at the kitchen table.
"Yes, Hannah?" Lucas asked as he turned to walk over to the refrigerator.
"Isaiah is eading da dirt out of da flower pot" Hannah said as she watched her baby brother standing at the flower pot in the corner.
"What?" Lucas asked as he came back around the corner and saw his son grabbing a handful of dirt. "Isaiah Keith Scott…NO"
Lucas quickly walked over to his son and smacked his diaper covered butt and picked his son up. "That's dirty Isaiah"
Isaiah looked at Lucas with dirt covering the entire front of his shirt and the lower part of his face. He shook his head as Isaiah looked at him and then at the flower pot before he burst into tears.
"Mama" Isaiah called as he threw his body backwards in Lucas's arms and stiffened up.
"Isaiah stop, you're going to have to go into time out if you don't stop" Lucas said as he set his son down on the ground.
"MAMA" Isaiah screamed as he laid his body down on the wood floor of the kitchen and kicked his legs and arms before letting out a shrill scream.
"Maybe you call mommy" Hannah said from her chair as she looked at her father and brother.
"Hannah, I don't need to call your mom. I can handle this" Lucas said as he picked his son up.
"NO MAMA" Isaiah said through strangled sobs.
Lucas took Isaiah over to his high chair and strapped him in and put the tray up before reaching down and pulling Isaiah's shirt up over his head.
"Daddy" Hannah said looking at Lucas.
"Yes, Hannah?" Lucas asked as he looked at his daughter.
"Da food burning" Hannah said pointing her hand into the kitchen where the stove was starting to smoke.
"Damn it" Lucas said as he ran into the kitchen and took the macaroni off of the burner just as the fire alarm went off.
Hannah covered her ears and Isaiah's sobs got worse as the loud beeping echoed throughout the house.
Nathan laughed out loud as he pulled his car up into Lucas's driveway 30 minutes later.
"What's funny dad?" Jamie asked from the backseat of the car
"Your Uncle Lucas" Nathan said as he turned the car off and looked over at the three pizza boxes that were in the passenger side.
"What did he do?" Jamie asked
"Well, let's just say that if it wasn't for your Aunt Brooke then Hannah and Isaiah would go hungry" Nathan said as he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.
He walked to the back of the car and opened the back door and started to unbuckle Leah's car seat.
"Are we going to spend the night with Uncle Luke?" Jamie asked as he got out of the car and walked over to his father.
"I think we just might little man" Nathan said.
"Cool" Jamie said as took off running to the front porch.
"You ready to go in Miss Leah?" Nathan said
"Yes daddy" Leah said as she reached for her father.
Nathan picked the two year old up and sat her down on the ground before grabbing the pizzas from the front seat. "Hold daddy's hand" Nathan said as he reached a hand down to his daughter.
"I not need to. I a big girl" Leah said as she took off walking to the porch.
"That's right you're 2 now. What was I thinking" Nathan said to himself as he walked up to the porch.
"So tell me the part of letting your son eat dirt again" Nathan said as he and Lucas carried the trash out to the curb later that night.
"Shut up, like you've never let your kids get into something they shouldn't have before" Lucas said as he set the trash bag down and looked at his brother.
"Never dirt Luke" Nathan said with a laugh
"So the time that you let Jamie eat an entire bottle of chocolate syrup the first time Haley left you alone with him never happened?" Lucas asked
"No, I don't know what you're talking about" Nathan said quickly.
"As I recall you nodded off on the couch and woke up to your son in the kitchen covered in it" Lucas said with a laugh.
"Lucas, that was like 5 years ago, what's your point?" Nathan said.
"My point is out wives should never leave us alone with our kids" Lucas said.
"Man, you got that right, Haley gets so mad at me cause when I'm home with the kids I always call it babysitting and she says "Nathan, they're our kids, it's not called babysitting when it's your kids" whatever" Nathan said as he walked up the porch steps followed by Lucas.
"I think Brooke and I are going to try for another baby when she gets back" Lucas said.
"Really? After tonight you're gonna stand there and tell me that you want another baby" Nathan said
"Yeah, what's your point?" Lucas asked
"there isn't one cause Hales and I are gonna try again, too" Nathan said with a smile.
"Could you imagine if Brooke and Haley were pregnant at the same time?" Lucas asked.
"I don't think I could handle that man" Nathan said as he ran a hand through his dark hair. "I mean when Haley gets on one of her rants about "Nathan, we have to move this couch before the baby comes, Nathan, I can't use Crest toothpaste it has to be Colgate, Nathan, these sheets are too hot for me to sleep on" it gets to be too much. This is where I come to vent, I mean I can't come here and have Brooke on my case too"
"What's the difference between Crest and Colgate?" Lucas asked "She really did that?"
"Oh yeah, who knows what the difference is. She said the smell of Crest makes her sick, but Colgate which smells exactly the same doesn't….I don't get it man, I just don't get it" Nathan said as he and Lucas walked into the house and sat down on the couch.
"You see this scar?" Lucas asked as he showed Nathan the small white mark on the underside of his arm.
"Yeah" Nathan said
"You know where I got it?" Lucas asked
"No, where?" Nathan turned on the couch to face Lucas and pulled a foot up under him.
"When Brooke was pregnant with Hannah, she was going through her nesting phase and she woke me up at 3:30 in the morning because she wanted me to take the winter clothes up to the attic. So I took everything up there and fell and a nail went straight through my arm" Lucas said
"Ouch" Nathan said and made a face.
"Yeah and when I told Brooke what happened, do you know what she said?" Lucas asked.
"No, what?" Nathan asked
"She said and I quote "You didn't get blood on the winter clothes did you?" "Lucas said.
"And we want more kids?" Nathan said with a sigh "What's the matter with us?"
"You know, I really don't know" Lucas said.
"So, what are you thinking about out here on this balcony all alone, Davis?" Haley asked as she walked out onto the balcony of the hotel.
"Just wondering how my kids are" Brooke said as Haley took a seat next to her.
"I've got a feeling that they are just fine. I'm sure they're asleep and Luke and Nathan are in a Wii battle over Donkey Kong" Haley covered her mouth as she yawned and looked over at the Charlotte skyline.
"It's a beautiful view" Brooke said "Are you sure you're ready to hit the club tonight? You look like you're ready for bed"
"Well thanks Brooke" Haley said and rolled her eyes "I may be a mom but, I'm still in my 20's and I can have fun…..Gosh who am I kidding? I am so exhausted"
Brooke laughed at Haley's ramble and shook her head "Don't let Rachel hear you say that"
"Like I'm scared of Rachel. There'd be two hits, I'd hit her and she'd hit the ground" Haley said.
"Haley, you've been around Jamie and Chuck for too long" Brooke raised an eyebrow and looked at her sister in law.
"I know but, you should hear the things they say when they're playing Wii. Chuck can come up with some great one liners….Jamie needs to make new friends" Haley shook her head as she thought about Chuck.
"It's gonna be a long night" Peyton said as she walked out on the balcony. "I mean it's already 10 o' clock and Rachel's just now getting dressed"
"Jeez" Brooke and Haley both said before laughing.
"Does anyone else feel like we're over dressed for this club?" Haley asked as she watched all the scantily clad girls walk by the table she and her friends were sitting at.
"Haley, would you chill out" Rachel said as she looked in her compact and finished applying her lipstick
"As much as I hate to say this, Rachel is right" Peyton said
"What?" Haley asked as she looked at Peyton.
"This trip is supposed to be about cutting loose and having fun, so Haley James Scott, do you want to dance with me?" Peyton asked.
Haley looked out at the club and sighed "Sure, what the hell" Haley said as she reached her hand out to Peyton.
Brooke watched Haley and Peyton make their way to the dance floor and laughed as they awkwardly started to move to the techno music that was playing.
"Well, I'm going to go and get a drink, do you want something bitch?" Rachel asked.
"No thanks whore" Brooke said as she watched Rachel scoot out of the booth.
"Well, I shall return" Rachel said as she walked to the bar.
Rachel ran her hand through her long red hair as she waited for her drinks at the bar. She looked out of the corner of her eye and saw a familiar face walking towards her.
"Hello Rachel" The guy said to her
"Yeah, hi" Rachel said as she looked away from the guy.
"Maybe you don't remember me my name's….." The guy started
"Maybe I don't give a shit, maybe I don't remember the last time I blew my nose either" Rachel said as she grabbed her drink and started to walk away.
"Hey Rachel" Julian said as he looked at her.
'What?" Rachel asked as she turned around
"Nice body….too bad its only purpose is to keep your head from floating away" Julian said
"And If I had a dick this is where I'd tell you to suck it" Rachel said as she turned and walked away.
"Jeez what was that about?" Lindsey said as Julian walked back over to the table.
"Just some whore who needs put in her place" Julian said as he took a drink of his beer.
"So, what's your plan on getting Brooke to leave with you?" Lindsey asked.
"This right here" Julian said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a tiny zip lock bag full of white powder.
"What is that?" Lindsey asked.
"Well, let's just say a little of this in her drink and she won't put up a fight with me" Julian said as a small smile graced his face.
"I can't believe you" Haley laughed as she and Peyton walked back over to the table.
"Well, what did you expect me to do; the guy was grinding on my ass. I'm a married woman and a mom. I'm not into that" Peyton said.
"What happened?" Brooke asked as she watched Peyton and Haley laughing.
"We were dancing and this guy comes up and just starts dancing behind Peyton and he starts grinding his crotch against her and she stops what she's doing turns around and just starts at the guy with her mouth open and this look of pure horror on her face. I mean she didn't move or say anything for an entire minute, just stood there and looked at the guy. Needless to say, he got mad and walked away" Haley explained as she fanned herself with her hands.
"It's hot in here, do you want to go and get some air?" Peyton asked Haley and Brooke.
"Sure, I'll go" Peyton said "You coming Brooke?"
"Yeah, Rachel's already out there, I'm just going to get a drink and I will meet you out there" Brooke said as she grabbed her purse and slid out of the booth.
"Ok, do you want us to come with you?" Haley asked.
"No, I'll just be a few minutes" Brooke said with a smile.
Brooke watched Peyton and Haley leave before she turned and walked to the bar.
"Can I take your order, ma'am?" The bartender said.
"Sure, I'll just have a green apple martini and that will be all" Brooke paid for her order and closed her eyes for a minute while the bartender got her drink.
"Hey Brooke" a voice from behind her said.
"Julian, what are you doing here?" Brooke asked.
"I was in town on business" Julian lied. "How about you?"
"Just in town with the girls for a few days" Brooke felt uncomfortable as she watched Julian stare at her.
"You look beautiful Brooke, you always do" Julian said as he walked to the bar.
"Well, I'm going to go" Brooke said as she started to walk away.
"WAIT" Julian called after her.
"What?' Brooke asked.
"You forgot your drink" Julian said as he reached for the martini and quickly dropped a little powder in it before turning around and handing it to Brooke.
"Thanks" Brooke said as she took a sip and started to walk away.
Julian watched her for a few moments as she made her way to the table a few feet away and started to stagger. He looked over at the table where Lindsey was sitting and signaled at her with a nod and then went after Brooke who was now disoriented Brooke.
