Times change...people shouldn't, chapter 22
<p>Joey groaned as he lifted his head off the pillow, and glanced over to a clock on Brooke's night stand. 8:00 a.m. it read. He sighed and plopped his head back down on the cold pillow.<br /> "I still can't believe it." he muttered to himself.<br /> Why was all of this happening to him and Brooke? Should he leave her? He suddenly thought.<br /> "No fucking way." he said to himself shaking that thought out of his mind. He loved Brooke with all his heart..let alone the fact that she was carrying his baby...he couldn't leave her...he wouldn't.
<br />"Mmm" Brooke sighed as she stirred slightly in her sleep. Joey smiled over his shoulder at her as he turned over and rested his nose in the back of her neck. He slowly allowed his hands to drop and rest on Brooke's growing stomach as he closed his eyes and smiled as he felt his daughter move slightly.<br /> "Ouch." Brooke said suddenly waking up and sitting erect.<br /> "Baby you ok?" Joey asked sitting up next to her and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. Brooke sealed her eyes shut tight and nodded as she held her stomach. <br />"Yeah..she's just kicking." she said as she slowly lowered herself back down on the bed and sighed.<br /> "How you feelin?" Joey asked laying next to her and combing through her hair. Brooke didn't answer and quickly changed the subject. <br />"Joey." she started.<br /> "Yea?" he asked still running through her hair. <br />"I want to go to Boston..to see my dad and my sister for Christmas..and I want you to come." she said quietly turning over to face him. <br />"What?...but why?" he asked confused as he held her tighter. <br />"Joey I can't stay here anymore...I need a break! Things here are just happening one disaster after another...please baby." she begged with pleading green eyes gazing into his.<br /> "It's only for Christmas week....then we'll come home I promise." she continued, trying to pursue him into going with her. Joey
sighed and smiled down at the hopeful body in his arms.<br /> "Ok..if it will make you happy....I'll go." he said kissing her forehead. <br ?>"Really?...oh thank you so much Joe " she exclaimed wrapping her arms around him tight.<br /> "But are you sure your ok to leave...do you want to talk to someone first about what happened or anything?" Joey asked concerned as he watched Brooke gather her clothes and head off to the bathroom for a shower. <br />"Joey! For the last fucking time...im fine!" she snapped as her voice slightly cracked and she stormed off. Joey sighed and stretched as he rose off the bed, this was going to be hard for them to get over..or at least get Brooke to talk about. </p>
*2 weeks later*
<p>"I just don't see why you have to go all the way to Boston for Christmas." Adi said as she helped her oldest son zip up his final suitcase. <br />"I told you already Mom." Joey sighed. "Brooke wants to see her family for Christmas..her mom is still at the clinic and she's 6 months pregnant I don't want her to be alone." he explained. <br />"I know I know." Adi said smiling at him. "But we've spent every Christmas together..it won't be the same...she can go on her own ya know Joey." she suggested. <br />"No Mom!! She needs me!" Joey said snatching the suitcase out of Adi's hands and walking downstairs with it. <br />"Jeez, teenagers and their hormones." Adi mumbled to herself before she shrugged and followed him out of his room.</p>
<p>"Dad!" Joey called into the bottom half of the Armstrong household as he waited by the door for Billie to get Brooke and drive them over to the airport. <br />"Ready to go?" Billie said finally emerging from his music room. Joey nodded and walked over to say goodbye to his mother and Jakob. <br />"Have Fun!" Adrienne called out as she watched Billie Joe's black BMW pull out of their driveway and make it's way down the block. </p>
<p>After they had all said their goodbyes and got their things together Joey and Brooke were on the next plane to Boston.<br /> "You sure it's ok for you to be flying?" Joey asked worried as he helped Brooke into her seat.<br /> "Yes Joe...I won't miscarry don't worry." Brooke giggled as she kissed his cheek and sat down. <br />"I'm just making sure." he said returning the smile and taking his seat next to her. <br />"So baby.." he started. "We still need to talk..." Brooke huffed and closed the magazine she was reading.<br /> "About.." she asked impatiently.<br /> "Well about what happened...a few weeks ago when Jimmy-." Brooke cut him off quickly, "There's nothing to talk about Joe...it's done...im a whore..lets just get over it and move on." she snapped, going back to her latest edition of US Weekly. <br />"But that's just it " Joey said taking the magazine away from her. "Your not a whore....it wasn't your fault." he said comforting her as she remained silent for a long time and turned her head towards the window. <br />"I was so scared Joey.." Brooke admitted as she kept her eyes fixated out the window as tears clouded her vison, and her hand trembled slightly as she recalled the incident in her mind. Joey clenched her fearful hand in his sturdy one as he kissed it gently. <br />"You're ok now..your with me." he whispered to her as she turned her head to his and returned the squeeze in his hand as the plane began to take off.</p>
**
<p>"This is your Dad's house?!" Joey asked shocked as they pulled into the huge wrap around driveway of the mansion like home. <br />"Yup..it used to be our family's winter home but when they divorced my dad took the Boston house and my mom kept the Oakland one." Brooke said as she went to unbuckle her seat belt. <br />"You might want to put that coat on.." she warned as they started to get out of the car. <br />"Why..how cold could it be?" Joey said as he swung the door open and stepping into the freezing Boston air. <br />"Holy shit Why is this damn city so c-cold?" he chattered as Brooke laughed and handed him his coat. <br />"Come on...let's get inside." she said as he nodded and wrapped his arms around her. </p>
<p>When they finally reached the house's huge door Brooke quietly opened it and stepped into the foyer. <br />"Dad?!" she called out enthusiastically as both her and Joey hung up their icy coats. Suddenly, huge, booming footsteps were heard and before Brooke knew it, she was pinned down on the floor by her old Newfoundland dog named "Baby" being licked fiercely.<br /> "Baby..." Brooke giggled as she pet the dog and struggled to get up.<br /> "Woah!" Joey said quickly dropping the bags and scooping Brooke off the floor lightning fast.<br /> "What the hell is that thing? ..Are you ok? " he said worried as he slowly rubbed her stomach and looked down at the so called "Baby." <br />
"Im fine Joey..geez stop worrying....this was my dog since I was little!" Brooke squealed as she knelt down to the dog once again and Joey held his breath watching them both carefully. <br />
"Brooke!" they all heard a voice say, entering the foyer. <br />"Dad!" Brooke yelped as she managed to get up and run into her father's arms.<br /> "I missed you so much " she said hugging him tightly.<br /> "I know honey I missed you too." he responded. Joey could see the look of joy and happiness in his eyes as he watched a father and daughter great each other.<br /> "Well stand back let me get a good look at you." Brooke's father said to her while he was still smiling. Brooke giggled and nodded as she expertly twirled around on her ballerina toes and posed holding her new stomach.<br /> "You look beautiful." he smiled proudly as Brooke kissed his cheek and ran back over to get Joey. <br />"Dad this is Joey, my boyfriend. Joey this is my Dad." she said with the biggest smile she wore in a long time. She had no problem showing how happy she was to be away from it all and to see her family.<br /> "Hi Mr. Calliway, how are you?" Joey asked being as respectful and polite as he could. <br />"Im fine Joey..please call me Brad." Brooke's father responded taking his hand and shaking it firmly. A slight awkward fell over the group as Joey realized he had the same name as Billie's loathed step-father and as Brad's eyes looked from Joey to Brooke's belly. <br />"Well...im starving...did you cook?" Brooke asked her father, as she slipped her arms around Joey.<br /> "Yeah I made your favorite....come on guys." he said with a warm paternal smile as he lead them into the elegant dining room. </p>
**
<p>"So Joey, how is your senior year going?" Brad asked as they sat down for dinner and began to eat.<br /> "It's going good...mostly applying to colleges and things like that." Joey said as she nervously sipped his water. Brooke sat quietly as she watched the two make conversation, she would occasionally giggle at how Joey was clearly nervous and decided to help him "relax."<br /> Just as he was in the middle of answering one Brad's conversational questions Brooke slipped her
hand on Joey's thigh and began to rub it gently, slowly making her way higher till she hit his crotch. Joey gasped and jumped causing his knee to his the table and shake it. <br />"Joey is everything ok?" Brad asked as he watched Joey's eyes continue to grow wider. <br />"Yeah..t-the dog s-she made me j-jump." he stuttered trying to hold back a moan as Brooke continued but still acted casually. <br />"Oh don't worry about her.... she just stays under the table hoping for some food to fall." Brad said getting up and taking the plates. <br />"Im going to get some dessert ok?"<br /> "Ok Dad." Brooke said smiling over at Joey playfully, as her father left. As soon as he did Joey quietly groaned and turned to Brooke. <br />"Baby, do you WANT to embarrass me?!" he asked. <br />"Aww im sorry hun." Brooke giggled, as she kissed his cheek and gently nibbled his earlobe right before her father walked back in. </p>
**
<p>Later on that night they all settled into the living room to watch "A Christmas Story" but about mid way through the movie Brooke decided to go up to her old bedroom and get ready for bed. <br />"I'll be up in a few minutes babe." Joey said as he helped her up and sat back down. <br />"It's ok..take your time." Brooke said as she trotted up the deep natural cheery wood steps and padded off to her old bedroom. She smiled like a child in a candy store as she opened the door and stepped in...it was just as she left it. Green Day posters on the wall, along with pictures of friends and other bands, there was quit a few of her whole family together going skiing, or snowboarding, and trophy and dance achievements awards littered the whole room. She quietly closed the door behind her and sauntered over to her vanity dresser. She looked all around as memories and good times flooded her mind and then stepped back and examined her current reflection that was looking back at her.<br /> "That's me huh?" she muttered to herself as she fixed the black turtle neck sweater over her belly and looked back at herself, her attention was diverted to the promise ring Joey gave her over their summer in Europe. She smiled to herself as she looked down and played with it on her finger and thought...things deffinatly changed....SHE deffinatly changed...the only thing in question was..was it change for the better? Just then she heard the door click open. <br />"Brooke?" she heard Joey question.<br /> "Yeah babe?" she asked meekly. <br />"Why are you in the dark?" he chuckled as he flipped on the light. <br />"O I was just ya know..." Brooke said as she drifted off. <br />"So are you happy that we came?" Joey asked as he crept behind her and kissed her neck softly over and over.<br /> "Yeah...thank you for coming with me." Broke said smiling and turning around in his arms.<br /> "You're welcome babe..but I think you really need to be apologizing to me." he smiled devilishly . Brooke cocked her head to the side and gave him a puzzled look "For what?" she asked curiously.<br /> "For your little dinner time shananigan" Joey stated as Brooke laughed to herself remembering the look on his face.<br /> "I was only teasing you babe." she managed to say through giggles.<br /> "Well "little" Joey didn't find it very funny and got all excited at the damn table!" Joey said pretending to pout but only made Brooke burst out laughing. <br />"I didn't find it very funny.." he smiled as he held her closer. <br />"Im sorry hun..that was very naughty of me wasn't it?" Brooke said looking at him while she licked her bottom lip.<br /> "Uh huh." Joey nodded as he lowered his head for his lips to meet her neck. <br />"Joey m-my Dad.... he's downstairs." Brooke said as she breathed heavily and Joey pushed her on the bed and took off her sweater.<br /> "I locked the door...don't worry." Joey muttered against her lips. <br />"I'm pregnant Joe..we cant." Brooke sighed. <br />"Why not babe.." Joey pleaded as he held her hips closer to him, so she could feel that he was now fully aroused and did not want to stop. <br />"Because...um..." Brooke moaned and stuttered to get her answer out as Joey continued to push harder against her, so it made it harder for her to turn him down. Brooke shut her eyes for a minute as she gathered her thoughts and came up with her answer. <br />"Because im not ready to...after what happened..I just...I'm just not ready ok?" she admitted. <br />"But Brooke...I'm not Jimmy...I love you. You have to let this go!" Joey said rubbing her back. <br />"Let it go?..You want me to just let it go?!" Brooke said suddenly shocked. "As if someone was mean to me or took my seat at lunch?..You want me to let it go?!" she continued as she pushed Joey off of her and pulled her top back on. <br />"Babe you're not listening..I didn't mean it like that!" Joey said defensively. <br />"No Joey I heard you just fine!" Brooke snapped, with her hormones kicking in as she started to cry. "Ya know maybe Estelle was right all those nights ago...." she drifted as she started to tear up. <br />"What?...What did Estelle say?" Joey said now confused and curious. <br />"She told me how you're reputation was to fuck and leave people..." Brooke started before Joey cut in.<br /> "But I didn't leave you!! I'm not going to leave you!" He said.<br /> "No Joe..you didn't... but sex runs your life!" Brooke said as she continued her rant.<br /> "Brooke you're making no sense I never forced you into anything. We never had sex when you didn't want to so don't even go there. It's obvious that you're tired, and your hormones are having a spasm so let's just go to bed please." Joey huffed, getting tired of fighting on a week that was suppose to relax them both, and started to climb into bed. <br />"Stop blaming all this on baby and shit! You know I'm right." Brooke said as she continued to argue. <br />"Whatever Brooke." Joey sighed as he clicked off the light. "You're impossible Joey you know that?!" Brooke said as she grabbed her suitcase and headed for the door.<br /> "Where the hell are going now?" Joey whined. <br />"I'm staying in the guest room..I don't want to have to fucking be near you tonight!" Brooke snapped as she shit the door and stormed down the hallway, leaving Joey tired, confused, hurt, and worn out.</p>
<br />"Mmm" Brooke sighed as she stirred slightly in her sleep. Joey smiled over his shoulder at her as he turned over and rested his nose in the back of her neck. He slowly allowed his hands to drop and rest on Brooke's growing stomach as he closed his eyes and smiled as he felt his daughter move slightly.<br /> "Ouch."
