The day after the funeral Addison gave birth to two more twin girls, making Anastasia's drug induced prediction correct. Against Wilson's wishes, Brooke stayed at her sister's house. Four kids were demanding, even in the best of times. It really helped; however, that the twins had just aged into tee
Wilson tried to be the best son in law ever by spending time with Noah on the couch. The two bonded over the cooking network and video games. They were the hardest days of his life, and he wanted nothing more than to have a day job like his wife.
Addison called Brooke regularly to update her Lauren's new defiance habits. "Brooke," she'd often say, "she's staying out all night, she's arguing with Dean and myself, and her grades are dropping."
Brooke usually just listened. "I'm sure it's just a phase," she tried to comfort her sister. Addison hoped it was true, but Lauren's behavior never got any better.
The sun light poured in through the windows. Ugh, Brooke thought as she looked at the clock, why didn't Wilson wake me. Before the thought was even finished Brooke heard a female laughing in the kitchen. Jealously raged through her as she flung open the bedroom door.
She entered to find that the female voice belonged to Lauren. "Lauren, what are you doing here!""Baby," Wilson cooed, "She's been over here about an hour. She had an argument with Dean." Brooke eyed her favorite niece. Lauren smiled before grabbing her backpack, "Thanks for breakfast Uncle Will, but I gotta get to school."
