idk why I've been updating so often

-----------------------------------------------------

Victoria's P.O.V.

"Liv! Matt! Carly! Luke!" I yell.

They all eventually make their way to me and I sigh.

"Can you all please clean up the damn mess you all leave behind?" I question.

"Mum!" The kids whine.

Luke sighs, "Come on, let's go."

"Thanks." I mutter, heading upstairs.

My phone starts ringing, and I sigh before answering.

"Hello?"

"Vic, hi. I really need to come talk to you, do you think I could go over there in a few hours?" Brooke quickly asks.

"Um, yea, sure." I reply.

"O-okay, thanks." She quickly mumbles.

-

"Carly, sweetheart, just eat your lunch please." I mutter.

"I don't like." She mumbles.

"You like everything!" I exclaim.

"No!"

"Carly!"

"Mummy!"

I sigh, "Please? For me?"

"No."

I give in to what she wanted, "Fine! I'll let you have cake if you eat!"

"Okay mummy." She smiles, finally eating.

"Vic, oh my god!" Brooke yells, inviting herself into the house.

Thank god, now I can make somebody else deal with Carly.

"Brooke!" Carly yells.

"Hey, Carly. Um, Vic? I really need to talk to you." Brooke quickly says.

"Yea. Liv! Come watch your sister please!"

Olivia steps into the room and sits with her sister.

I bring Brooke up to mine and Luke's room, Brooke nervously looks at me before I say anything.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

She smiles, "I'm pregnant."

"What?! Oh my god congrats! But how?! I mean like, I thought you couldn't?"

"I-I don't know. Well, there was always that very slim chance, but I never thought this would happen." She chuckles as I pull her into a hug.

"This is crazy." I mutter.

"I took so many tests they all came out as positive. I-I just had an appointment and I'm ten weeks pregnant." She tells me.

"Have you told Ashton?" I ask.

"I haven't. I'm afraid to." She quietly replies. "I'm scared I'm going to lose the baby."

"That won't happen." I whisper.

"Vic, I'm not even supposed to be able to get pregnant." She replies.

I'm scared for her, if Ashton tells her about his affair before Brooke tells him about this baby, it would mess everything up for them.

"Everything will be okay, I promise." I softly say. "Everything is alright with you and Ashton, right?"

"Yea, why wouldn't we be?" She asks.

"Just making sure now that this has happened." I say, forcing a smile.

"I can't believe it. Vic, I'm having a baby!" She quietly exclaims.

I smile, "This really is amazing."

"This baby is so special." She whispers.

"Oh my god, I'm about to cry." I mumble, trying to hold in my tears.

"You should've seen how much I cried at my appointment this morning." She chuckles.

"You're pregnant when you thought you never would be, I'd cry a lot if I were you."

"How am I supposed to tell Ashton?" She asks.

"I-I don't know."

I don't want to give her ideas because I don't know how Ashton will react. He says he's planning of telling Brooke about his cheating, now I don't know if he should.

"Mum! Carly bit me!" Liv yells.

I groan, "I'm sorry, I-I've gotta go deal with those two."

"I'll call you later." Brooke calls, heading out as I go downstairs over to Liv and Carly.

"Carly, why are you biting your sister?" I groan, picking her up.

"I don't like her." She replies.

"Carly. Apologize. Now." I demand.

"I'm sorry, Livy." Carly mumbles.

Liv rolls her eyes, "Whatever, you brat."

"Olivia!"

"You're mean!" Carly yells.

Liv groans, "Carly, I swear-"

I sigh, "Liv! She's three, let it go."

"Oh yea, she's the baby, she's always right, it's never her fault, Carly's just the perfect child isn't she!" Liv yells, running upstairs.

I groan, "God dammit, Liv!"

"As soon as your dad gets back he's gonna deal with you." I mutter to Carly, letting her run off.

She begins running laps around the house and I sigh.

Liv yells, "Carly, stop! Oh my god, I hate this house!"

-

I'm stuck trying to get Carly to bed, and it's not working out.

"But I wanna see daddy and Matt." Carly says.

"No." I tell her.

"Matt! Luke! Guitars away! Carly's going to bed!" I yell.

"Mummy.." Carly whines.

"There, now nothing interesting is happening. It's time for you to sleep." I tell her, picking her up and laying her in bed.

She yawns, "But I'm not tired."

I chuckle, "Sure you aren't. I'll go get dad, okay?"

I head downstairs to where Luke and Matt are both sitting.

"Luke, you have to go say goodnight to Carly." I tell him.

He gets up and quickly makes his way upstairs.

I look over to Matt and he gives me a questioning look.

"What?" He asks.

"You were out with Zoe all day, right?" I question.

"Yea, so what?"

"So.."

"It's not like that, mum." He mumbles.

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"Yes, I'm sure. Zoe and I are friends, nothing more." He nervously smiles.

"Alright then."

He heads upstairs, as Luke is running downstairs.

"Vic, Ashton was acting really weird today, has Brooke said if anything is going on?" Luke asks.

"Nope, she hasn't said anything."

But he has.

"Alright." He sighs.

I groan, "I feel like we're teenagers again.."
