3 WEEKS LATER

So the kids are now starting to get used to the LA lifestyle that we have going on here. Brandon hired an assistant and now he is home so much more and it's amazing. We still haven't told the kids about the baby but it's getting obvious that I have a bump so we're going to have to tell them soon. Hallie has been getting angry about not being able to see Wyatt but I cant just click my fingers and he's here, he needs to be committed enough to come here and visit her. This is what I was afraid was going to happen. Poor Poppy still has her cast on and will have for another 5 weeks. Im going out today to interview people to work in my studio, now that I found out I'm pregnant I need extra help at work so I need more people. I have to leave the kids home with Brandon, he hasn't watched them by himself in so long because of work but yeah what could go wrong.

BRANDONS POV

Callie just left for her interviews and its 10:30. All the kids are with me out the front playing soccer. I didn't let Poppy play though cause I don't want her fall on her hand. 
"Daddy, I really want to play" she whines
"I know baby girl but if you fall you can hurt your hand more"
"I'll be careful"
"I know you'll try baby but you might get knocked over, when they finish this round we'll find  game to play that you can join in as well ok?"
"Ok" she agrees with a smile on her face. 
I laugh at how easy she was to please. The other kids finish their game and we go inside to play monopoly. 

At the moment Luca is winning and being a loud winner at that, he's definitely mine thats for sure. 
"Dad I love you but I have to go" Hallie says
"Wait, what? Where are you going?" I ask
"Im going to lunch with my friends and Kiara is here to pick me up, mum knows bye" she says running out the door.
"Rightio guess we're down to three" I say laughing.
"I'll be back I have to pee. Do. Not. Cheat." She says while walking out of the room.
Me and Luca both laugh and Poppy just sits there confused. She's playing on my team cause she's too little to understand all the rules, so she makes all my decisions on whether or not to by a house. Thats why I'm broke. Brooklyn comes back into the room with watery eyes.
"Umm I-I don't wan-wanna play anymore sorry" she says running up the stairs.
Me and Luca give each other weird looks.
"I'll be back" I say to him and then go up to her room. I knock and then walk in to see her with tears rolling down her face while she sits on her bed.
"Baby girl whats wrong?" I say going down and sitting across from her
"Go away!" she yells
"Brooke whats up you can tell me"
"No I cant go away I need mum"
"Baby mum wont be home for a while, can you please just let me help you?"
"Dad get out!" she yells again.
"Brooklyn come on"
"I got my period. There. Now will you get mum" I give a shocked awkward look towards her, nod and leave the room. I quickly grab out my phone and call Callie quicker than I ever have.

END PHONE-CALL

"Great, just great" I go into our bathroom and go through Callie's draw to try and find a pad but she only has tampons. I go into Hallie's bathroom and luckily she has one. I take it and walk back into Brooklyn's room.
"Brook...."
"Is mum coming?" she says in a soft tone
"No baby she cant, she's going to be another hour or so"
"I need her"
"I know but until she gets here use this" I say handing her the pad
"What the hed do I do with this?"
"You're joking right?"
"No..." 
"You never got taught at school how to use that"
"Obviously not or I wouldn't be asking my dad how to"
"right...umm....you just.....on your....you umm..."
"I'll figure it out" she says stopping me from saying anything too awkward
"right yeah thats probably best"
We stand there just staring at each other
"you can leave now" she says
"Right yeah well I'll just be downstairs with Luke and Poppy if you need me"
"Ok"
I leave the room and go back downstairs to the other kids.
"Game on" Luke says
"Definitely" I say. I stop and look up at him "Im so glad you're a dude"
He laughs in confusion and then I turn to Poppy "And I'm never being left alone with you while you at the age of 12 or 13 just incase this happens again"
"What happens again?" Poppy asks
"Never mind" I say and we continue to play the game.
