Outside Pixie Dust, Saturday late morning

[gobrookeyourself]

Brooke had a ton of things to do today, because it was the first day of break for her and she would rather get everything done now rather than have to worry about anything for the rest of it, and she had orders to finish and fabric to pick up and it would all have to wait one second while she stopped to see the little girl staring at the outside of Pixie Dust.


[For one!]

Okay, that sounded sort of correct. It was just like her mom to not want to be called Grandma. "Okay, um... sweetie, I have two questions. And they're going to be weird ones, too," said Brooke. "What's your name?"

"That's weird."

"Yeah, I know, I told you that."

"Tabitha Elizabeth Davis," she answered, and she wondered if Mommy had hit her head in the park somewhere.

"Okay," Brooke said, and that last name didn't help her out at all. In fact, it sort of worried her. "And for the second weird question, your daddy is...?"

Tabitha shrugged, making a little face when she said something that sounded like "I'unno. You say it doesn't matter and I have good male role models."

There was more staring, though this time Brooke found words. "I'm a single mom?"

"Not always!" Tabitha corrected.

Well, that just sucked. She could see it now, she hooked up with some guy and there was a total accident and he probably cheated on her with Peyton so she was stuck on her own raising a kid. Not that that had ever been a possibility or anything.

Trying not to get whiny about it, Brooke stood and said, "Okay. Come on. Let's get that ice cream. I need it right now."
