ATT,
Naty and Dani

Chapter 01 – The night that brought hope

Angie was gone, Lindsay was gone, for Peyton; Lucas was gone, but happiness and harmony were the new last names of the Scott family. Jamie was swimming again, Nathan was dunking again, and Haley singing again…
Brooke was really nervous and anxious, why haven’t they called about Angie yet?? Soon after that her phone rings… “Miss Davis?” – “Yes, this is she” – “Hi, we are calling to let you know that Angie is with her mom, and she wants me to thank you for giving her the chance to be a mom for years to come. She would not have her dreams come true if it wasn’t for you”. Brooke could only cry, she was happy for Angie, but could not avoid that feeling of loss and jealousy for not having her anymore.
“Oh, I better call Luke, he is gonna want to know that Angie is safe”. At that very moment Brooke reaches for her cell phone, it rings: “Hey, it’s me. I’m at the airport; I’ve got 2 tickets to Las Vegas. Do you wanna get married tonight?”, “Luke, is that you? What are you saying?? Please, don’t go anywhere, I’m going to the airport right now!!!”.
Nathan had just arrived home. He and Jamie were as happy and excited as can be. Haley, who was in the kitchen ran to hug her boys and asked what happened, Jamie was the first to answer: “Mama, Dad is coming back!! He made this awesome basket”, “Haley I did it!! I dunked like the old days, I can make it!!! We are gonna live our dreams again. I love you!”, they kissed and Jamie hugged them as tight as he could.
Brooke was on her way to the airport, Luke was nervous, he didn’t know what to think, she hasn't said no, but hasn't said yes… He was puzzled, and in the car, she was thinking that something was really, really wrong. Why did Lucas asks her that, out of the blue?? She was puzzled, scared, and sad. Even if she wanted to hide it, that phone call brought her a little bit of hope back.
Peyton was still at the studio, she was still thinking of her conversation with Lucas. She knew, that even if he said that it was still hard seeing her, he doesn’t love her anymore, not like before, and even scarier for her, not like he always (they never wanted to say it, but it was always there) loved Brooke. That was really clear with all the help that he wanted to give Brooke and Angie. When they were together, even for 10 seconds, she could see that sparkle in their eyes. Angie, she seemed to know too, when the three of them were together, was when she was happier and when she relaxed, like she was with her family…
Tears were falling down Peyton’s cheeks, she was remembering all the tough moments they have been trough. How could she never see pass her best friend’s brave face?? She was feeling guilty, but she knew, deep inside that things would be ok.
Brooke was running across the parking lot, was Lucas still there??? She went over to the American Airlines counter and asked for a ticket. “How may I help you??” – “I want an airplane ticket, fast!” – “Sure, but where do you wanna travel too?” – “Anywhere, I don’t care, just give me a ticket, fast!!”. She flew through security, and she spotted Lucas, from afar, at the vary last gate.
“I really didn’t think you would come, haha, but you did!!! So, let’s get married!”. “Lucas Scott, what are you doing?? I did not come here to go to Vegas, I came to know what is going on.” – “Brooke, I want us to get married, you saw how good we were when Angie was here. By the way, have they called you yet?” – “Yes, they did, they said that she is home and her mom wanted to thank me for all I did… But wait, no changing subject. I understand what you are saying, but yes, there was Angie, but she is gone now…Come on Luke, I’ll take you home, you can sleep it over and tomorrow you will be better.” – “Brooke wait, I think that we should get drunk, really really drunk, and tomorrow we start everything with new eyes, what do you say??” – “Ok, I could actually use some drinks. Come on Lucas Scott, let’s go!.”

Chapter 02 - Getting Drunk and In Love

Later that same night in a Bar in Tree Hill

Brooke and Lucas were definitely planning on getting drunk. All the way from the airport to the bar, they exchanged a couple words about Angie and about how drunk they should get… Yes, they were friends, but that sudden proposal made things a little bit awkward.
Arriving at Tric, they went straight to the bar… They were on empty stomachs, all that emotion left them no time to think about food. The barman served them a shot of “Brooke Davis”, she still remembered the combination, and it was down hill from there.
Lucas: Another shot of tequila please, I’m washing my sorrow away with alcohol tonight.
Brooke: Make it two shots, please; we have a lot to be sad about. But Luke, what were you saying?
Lucas: I was saying that going to Vegas, was a moment thing and I called you because you’re fun Brooke, and I’ve been enjoying hanging out with you more and more each day. I love being around you Brooke Davis.
Brooke: Thanks Luke! (giving him a side smile). But, what about that part of wanting to marry me?
Lucas: (Drinking the Tequila shot – and swelling hard) Well, I just thought that it would help you with the adoption thing. If the agency saw that you got married with a awesome guy, maybe the paperwork would go super fast and we, I mean, you could be a mom sooner than you thought.
Brooke: (Drinking the Tequila shot too – and looking kind of melted with his worries and patting him on the head) Ohh, that’s cute, thanks’ Luke. That’s very considerate of you. You are always there for me, and I really love you for that, you know??
At this very moment, the doors to Peyton’s office swung open, and she spotted them. She slammed the door and went away literally stomping.
Lucas: (looking at Brooke with those sparkles eyes) How about another shot of tequila?
Brooke: Hell yeah, please. (winking)
Lucas: Bartender, make it another 4 shots of tequila, will you?
Bartender: No, I will not. You two are way too wasted for me to be serving you more Tequila. Who knows what will happen, I don’t want to be blamed for anything. Get yourselves together and go home, this bar is closed to you.
Lucas: Please, don’t be such a party killer...We are just drowning our feelings.
Brooke: Hey Luke, I think that maybe he is right, we can’t even hold the cups very well… Let’s go home. (Grabbing his hand, and dragging him out of there)
Lucas: Ok. She is the boss. You know what I mean, right?? (whispering to the bartender, who just waved).


Outside the Bar

Lucas: I have an idea. Let’s just go to my place, I have some more tequila there, we can go on until we kill those feelings…what do you think hum???
Brooke: Ok, that can be done. But no more drinks for me, at least no more then one, because I have sketches to do for my new dress line.
Lucas: Ok, whatever you say.

Walking in the Street (being very wobbling, like the wind was 100 miles per hour)

Lucas: Do you remember the last time we did this?
Brooke: Did what, get drunk to death? (she laughs)
Lucas: No, (he laughs) walking together on the street.
Brooke: Of course I remember, it was in junior year, when my parents were moving to California, and they wanted me to move too. And you and your mom convinced them to let me stay in your house until summer, and you even painted your bedroom door in red, just so I could still be the girl behind the Red Door.
Lucas: This was only one time, is it the only one that you remember? (he laughed) I thought there was another one to remember.
Brooke: Is there?? Well, the alcohol is affecting my brain (she laughs). But wait, I do think that I remember the other time we walked together…that happened right after we got back together in senior year. We were so happy then and full of hormones, and you took me to the River court, and said that I was the biggest part of your world… (she laughed and looked to ground, kind of regretting what she said).
Lucas: We are home. Come on in!!!

Lucas’s Home

Brooke: Let’s get you into bed, you will sleep like a baby and then I can go home.
Lucas: (Laying in bed) No Brooke, stay here tonight, please. Lay here with me in my bed, we can talk.
Brooke: Alright I’ll stay, but only because I’m way to drunk to get a cab, and worse, I would not be able to open the door anyways…(she laughs).
Lucas and Brooke were lying in bed when suddenly a pillow flew and hit Brooke’s head, the sneak attack come from non other than Lucas.
Brooke: Lucas you are so dead now from doing that (hitting Lucas in the head with another pillow).
Lucas laughed and started tickling Brooke’s body.
Brooke: (laughing) Stop doing that Luke. STOP! I can’t resist it, I can’t take it anymore. I give up, I give up. Please Luke, let’s just go to sleep.
Lucas: You are right, is better to give up than to lose (he laughs).
In the middle of the night, Brooke and Lucas, still sleeping, reached to each other’s body, nobody woke up, and they hugged and just kept on sleeping.


The next morning

Lucas was holding Brooke’s body really tight next to his. They were in a deep sleep; those that not even a bomb could get them awake.
Going to Lucas’s house were Haley and Jamie. She wanted to ask Lucas for a big favour, look after Jamie for the day, so she could grade some papers without worries and record some songs.
Haley: Hey Luke, are you home?
Haley had just walked trough the front door, which Luke had left open.
Jamie: Mama, maybe Uncle Lucas went to the river court with the guys or he is at school with Uncle Skills and Dad.
Haley: I don’t know baby, maybe you’re right, but let’s keep looking because I think that something is wrong with your Uncle Lucas.
Jamie: Ok Mama. Uncle Luuuucaaaaasss, where are you??
Haley looked in the kitchen, in the bathroom, even in Karen’s bedroom she looked for him, but no sing of Lucas. She ended her tour in his bedroom. When she opened the door, all she did was, turn Jamie around (but he had already seen the scene) and said:
Haley: Ohh myy goood (her mouth dropped to the floor)
Jamie: Mama, what is Uncle Lucas doing with Auntie Brooke?
Haley: They are just sleeping Jamie, like you sleep or like your grandma sleeps, or like mom and dad sleep.
But Haley, just by looking at them, had the impression that they had done more than just sleep. In fact, she thought they were back together, again...
Haley: Jamie, baby, let’s go back home, I’ll call your daddy and he will stay with you today. I’ll call your uncle Lucas later.
Jamie: Ok. Mama. Bye Uncle Lucas and Aunt Brooke…

Chapter 03 – Happiness and Mystery

Lucas and Brooke were not together… They were just friends, that’s what they thought! Haley was talking to Nathan, and he asked “Do you think that Lucas and Brooke are together again??” – “well, if they are not, I don’t know what together means, because they are always with each other together. She is in all the games, even when he wasn’t coaching, she was always with him on his books meetings, and he is always at her store, helping her anyway he can, they are always doing stuff together…” said Haley – “Yeah, they have been going out to often, but I think that neither one of them knows that they are dating…” completed Nate, going of to the refrigerator. Peyton sure does, she is already thinking about moving out of Brooke’s house, she still can’t stand seen Lucas with someone else. Yeah, she did try to tell herself that everything would be ok, but it’s not.
Three months after Angie was gone, everybody had a lot to celebrate. Luke had gone back to the basketball court for the last game of the season, and the Ravens were champions one more time! Brooke had close the deal with Macy’s and her clothe lines C/B and BabyBrooke were a huge success on that store. Peyton had signed 2 more bands to her label and Mia had just won Platinum on her album. But no one had more to celebrate than Nathan and Haley.
Yes, Nate was practicing again, got himself an agent and was hoping for a proposition. Haley was getting ready to the launch party of her record; all her friends were going to be there. But before that, she had something to tell Nathan and Jamie. “Hey boys, I wanna talk to you before we go to the party, come here.” – “What is it mama???” – “Well, mama is pregnant again, you are gonna have a little brother or sister…” – “Haley, are you serious?? This is awesome, I’m so happy for us!!!” – “I know, me too!! But we should get going, I can’t wait to let everyone knows”.
At the party, everyone was really excited for Haley, for both reasons…But Lucas thought that maybe; just maybe he could top that. When everybody else left, Luke called everyone. “Hales, Nate, Peyton, Brooke, Skills, guys, can you please come here, I got something very important to say.” – “Wow, what is it??? Are you writing your third book?” asked Haley. “Not even close….” he said. “Come on Luke, we are here just to her you, and we don’t have all the time dude…” joked Peyton, – “Yeah man”…said Skills.
Brooke was the only one that made no questions what so ever. Through her mind were passing the worst ideas ever, like: he was gonna say that he really loves Peyton, or that he is going to stop coaching the Ravens and move in with his mom, wherever she was, but Brooke could’ve never guessed what he really had to say.
Everyone had their eyes on Lucas, and all of a sudden he starts to give a speech about love. Nobody was understanding what was that for… and just like that, he looked at Brooke, held her hand, put her bang aside and said “ I fought that for as long as I could, I didn’t realize my true feelings, I ran from it for as long as could, I tried to mask it with everything I could. I always had more fun with you, I always laughed more with you, I grow every time I’m with you. I only gave 3 of these embarrassing speeches in my life, and they all have been with you. I want the girl behind the Red door. You have always been the girl for me Brooke Davis. Will you marry me, pretty girl??”.

Chapter 04 – The Revelation that Shocked Everyone

After this revelation made by Lucas, the room got really, really quiet, even so that they could hear a pin drop miles away. He could also see the shock on everyones faces, trying to cope with it and digest the news. That lasted until someone decided to say what he was thinking.
Skills: Congratulations Dog!!!! It was about time that you pick the girl that you wanted to be with. (Goes to hug him)
Lucas: (Returning the hug) thanks Skills that really means a lot to me. It took some time but I finally figured it out.
Mouth: Woow Luke, that is some big revelation you got there and I’m happy for you. I always said, since sophomore year, that you and Brooke were soul mates, I can’t imagine anyone better for you than her and like my distinguished friend said, it was about time!! (he turns around and looks at Peyton) Sorry for that Peyton, but that is what I really feel. (He goes off to huge Lucas and Brooke)
Lucas: (Returning the hug) Thanks Mouth, I think the same.
Brooke: (returning Mouth’s hug and whispering in his ear) Thanks, but I’m still in shock.
Nathan: Man, I’m kind of speechless here, but all I can think is congrats on wanting to get married again and finally picking the right girl. I think that you couldn’t have had a better choice than Brooke. But I gotta say, I really didn’t see this coming, the proposal I mean, but I would definitely see a reunion of the two of you because you were spending so much time together lately. I was talking about it with Haley just the other day. (Goes to hug him)
Lucas: (hugging him back) Thanks little brother, your opinion means so much to me because, besides my mom and Haley, you are the only family that I have. By the way, do you wanna try again and be my best man? Of course if my pretty girl over there says yes to my proposal. (he laughs and looks at her with lots of love in his eyes).
Nathan: Of course Luke, you didn’t even have to ask, you know man, and I got your back, you know that!
All this time Brooke was speechless, as quiet as a lamb, still in shock by what she had heard, trying to put some sense in her head, clarify her ideas, so she could have an answer to Lucas’ question, or even trying to find questions that she could do to him, so she could understand it better. She felt like she was having an out of body experience. All she could think right now was Peyton’s reaction.
Haley: Lucas you and me, talk, now!!! (she had that very serious and worried look)
Lucas: Ok Hales, we can use Peyton’s office. And if anyone else wants to have a word, I’ll be in there (pointing to the office), just make a line please… (He laughs)

In Peyton’s office

Haley: What are you doing, is this a joke?? What’s your problem, what’s wrong with you?? Do you really think that marriage is a game that you can play with who and whenever you want??
Lucas: Hales, her me out.
Haley: No Lucas, I’m talking now. Marriage is a serious commitment and it is not to be taken so lightly by you or anyone else.
Lucas: I know Hales, I know…But…
Hales: I don’t even know why I bother talking to you. I told you the same thing last time, which was like 5 months ago, and it made no difference, you didn’t listen to me.
Lucas: Haley, just relax, you can’t be getting nervous like that, take it easy. This time is for real, I really love Brooke with all my heart and I will not hurt her this time, I promise. Third time is the charmed right, isn’t that what they say?
Haley: I hope you right Luke…
Lucas: You were the one that told me to stop hiding my heart, to decide and go after what I really wanted. So I did, and you’ll see that we are going to be together for a very long time, until we are both really old; looking like raisins (he laughs and winks). And for the record, the last time wasn’t my fault; Lindsay left me in the altar because she said that I was in love with Peyton and that my heart was conflicted.
Haley: Well, she was right at the conflicted part… But ok, I’m your best friend and I believe you, but you better not hurt Brooke again, because this time, I will personally hunt you down and kick some sense into you!!! I just want you to be happy, like I am.
Lucas: Thanks Hales, I love you too… But let’s go back to the club (at this moment someone knocks at the door). Come on in! Maybe they did make a line… (they laughed).
Peyton: Can I talk to you Lucas? (with angry face and voice)
Haley: Great joke, Luke, good luck (whispering). Well, I better go back to the “party”. I’ll leave you two alone to talk.
Lucas: Thanks Haley. Ok Peyton, what is it?
Peyton: (In an angry tone of voice) what happen to you Luke? Are you insane? Because I can’t believe that after all I told you that night, when you came to the studio to tell me that you didn’t hate me… How come that love that you said you had for me just died??
Lucas: Peyton, first of all, calm down. Second of all, nothing changed with me, I’m the same old Lucas, and I’m not insane. In fact, that night, when I came here, to this very same place were we are now, was to give myself closure about us. I needed to let you know that it was hard letting you go, and I needed to prove to myself that I had done it. And do you wanna know what I found out??
Peyton: Who cares now???
Lucas: I found out that I had really succeed in letting you go, and in fact, I realized that I’m not in love with you anymore, actually, I think that I was never really in love with you.
Peyton: Come on Lucas, you don’t have to hurt me more than what you did out there, and don’t lie, you wrote a freaking book about me…
Lucas: Actually I first started writing that book right after Brooke left me, and if you remembered I was still in love with her, and I just kept on writing while we were together, but you were not the trigger, you were not the reason I started it.
At this point in the conversation, Peyton was crying silently and Lucas just kept on going, he needed to make her see the truth. Out, at the so called party, Brooke was alone, on a table, taking time to think…

IN THE OFFICE

Lucas: When you said NO to my proposal, three years ago, that book took the shape of a love letter to you, but looking back in time, I really don’t think that I was ever in love with you.
Peyton: Stop Lucas, that’s enough, I don’t need to hear you saying that. I can’t take it!
Lucas: I’m sorry, but I gotta let you know everything, I’m being honest with you, nothing else. I only came to you because I was heartbroken about the fact that Brooke left me again. You knew that I wanted her back, even if I had not succeeded. So I thought about giving that unfinished story between us, on sophomore year, a chance. And I only did it after Brooke told me, at the championship game, that she was ok with me trying.
Peyton: So you are telling me that I was for two years the pity and rebound chick?
Lucas: No, Peyton you weren’t the pity or the rebound chick. (Talking with a angry voice) You were important in my life, I still love you, I just never been IN LOVE with you. Besides, you always show up with that I’M IN LOVE WITH YOU LUKE thing when I’m working things out. Do you happen to have an alarm inside your head that goes off every time I’m happy or trying to be???
Peyton: That’s so awful to say and (in an angry voice) FYI no, I do not have an alarm anywhere in my body. I just don’t understand it. You were not in love with me, but you were writing a book about me and my car!!! And than you come and say that you are deep in love with Brooke and that you want to marry her???
Lucas: (Visibly upset) Again with the book thing. You are not the comet, it’s a book about a guy who saw a comet, that stuff that flies by on space, like Comet Halley… jezz!. You know what Peyton, you just made me realize something very important…Do you really wanna know who is the comet??
Peyton: Yeah, why not, it can’t be worse than the things I’ve heard already.
Lucas: The comet is Brooke Davis. Happy now??
Peyton visibly sad goes on mute for a little while, so does Lucas. After the gap, and the looks towards the floor, Peyton decides that she should say something.
Peyton: Luke, after that silence, and after all you said, I think that I started to understand my own feelings. I’m no longer in love with you; I just love the idea of you, of us. I’m really sorry for how I approached you tonight. I just hope that you and Brooke work out this time, and that you guys are happy. (talking very fast and with a ironic tone – at the end she gives him a very lousy hug).
Lucas: Thanks for the wishes and for finally understanding everything, Peyton. I wish you too all the happiness in the world. Let’s go, shall we??

In the main room

Jamie: Mama
Haley: Yes, Jamie
Jamie: Is Uncle Lucas really going to marry Aunt Brooke?
Haley: I don’t know son, why are you asking me that??
Jamie: Because Aunt Brooke doesn’t look very happy, is she ok??
Nathan: Jamie is right, she looks like she just walked out of the twilight zone or something… (Nathan and Haley laughed)
Haley: Yeah, you guys are right, she doesn’t look too good. I’ll go check on her. Stay with your dad. (She walks over to where Brooke is and touches her shoulder).
Haley: Hey Brooke, are you ok?? You don’t look very happy…
Brooke: How can you be ok, or happy, after the boy of your dreams, decides to propose to you, after so many years??
Haley: I don’t kno…what?!? You are still in love with him, aren’t you? Brooke, that’s great, what are you thinking about, what are you waiting for, to give him your answer??
Brooke: I don’t know, I’m still in shock I guess. That was too much!! I have to ask him something first. I need to hear his answer.
Lucas and Peyton enter the room. Peyton calls Haley.
Peyton: Haley, don’t tell anyone, but I’m leaving… See you tomorrow.
Haley: Peyton, why??? Stay, at the end we are gonna have fun.
Peyton: No, its ok, I’ll be fine.
Luke was standing at the very same spot after leaving the office. He had just gave Brooke that so in love look.
Brooke: Lucas, would you mind coming here?? I have to ask you something, and I want you to be really honest with me, because I deserve it.
Lucas: Go ahead Pretty girl, anything for you.
Brooke: Why do you want to marry me?? Is it because you want the adoption agency to give me a baby more quickly?? Is it out of pity or “friendship”
Lucas: No Brooke, I want to marry you because I love you with all my heart and I want to be with you for ever and ever. Until we are really old, for the rest of our lives.
Brooke: I don’t get it Luke, why now, why me?? Why after all these years??
Lucas: Because now, Brooke, 4 years later, I can truly see the person that you are, and that you’ve become. And when Angie came into our lives, I realized that I have always been in love with you, and that all that time, I took you for granted. You are the best thing in my life, you inspired me to write my books, made me want to be a better man, and to be the best that I can be in everything. And I let you go back then without putting up a fight and when I realized it, I thought it was too late.
Brooke: (with tears in her eyes) Luke, I just want to tell you that...
Lucas: Brooke wait, let me finish what I’m saying and then you can talk. Now, I see that it is never too late when you love. I have all this feelings inside of me, that I was hiding for no reason, and they are all for you pretty girl. I know, deep inside, and it’s also easy to see in your eyes, that you still love me. And just know that it has always been you Brooke. You are the owner of my heart, my soul and my life. I love you more than life sometimes, it’s weird to say that, but it’s true. My heart races when I’m close to you, every time. I want to have you next to me everyday, in every special occasion and in every hard time.
Brooke was not holding it in, the tears were washing down her face and she had that cute little smile that melted his heart. She was floating.
Brooke: Oh Luke… I do wan…
Lucas: No, not yet, I have more… Like I said that day at the beach, I’m the guy for you Brooke Davis. You are the comet… that book is for you, and about you, and how you make my life full and complete. Before you answer me, and I hope you say yes, I have one last surprise that will make you and everybody else know how I fell and how important you are to me.
Lucas takes Brooke by the hand to where everyone is. He tells her to stay put and just wait. He gives Mouth a cd and asks him to play track 3. He comes back and takes Brooke’s hand and holds it with love, and just looks at her. And the song starts to play, and everyone is taken by the love they have towards each other.
She’s sun and rain, she’s fire and ice / A little crazy but its nice / And when she gets mad, you best leave her alone / cause shell rage just like a river / Then shell beg you to forgive her / She’s every woman that I’ve ever known. / She’s so New York and then LA. / And every town along the way / She’s every place that I’ve never been / She’s making love on rainy nights / She’s a stroll through Christmas lights / And she’s everything I want to do again. / It needs no explanation / cause it all makes perfect sense / For when it comes down to temptation / She’s on both sides of the fence. / No it needs no explanation / cause it all makes perfect sense / When it comes down to temptation / She's on both sides of the fence. / She’s anything but typical / She’s so unpredictable / Oh but even at her worst it ain’t that bad / She’s as real as real can be / And she’s every fantasy / Lord she’s every lover that I’ve ever had / And she’s every lover that I’ve never had.
Brooke: Luke, this is wonderful, thanks for making this day the most special day of my life.
Lucas: You deserve it!! So Brooke, what is your answer? Will you marry me??
There is someone else in the room, but nobody knows who it is, she is hiding from everyone, from Luke and from her feelings.
Brooke: Lucas Scott, I…
Lucas: Say it… Lindsay?!?
Brooke: What did you just… (she turns around and sees Lindsay standing behind everyone)
Everyone turns around and see her.
Lindsay: Hi Luke, hi everyone.

Chapter 05 – Past x Future

Earlier that afternoon, Luke was coming home from practice, he was happy with how the season ended and wanted it to only keep getting better. He was also very happy about his planes for that same evening; he would finally let everyone know were his heart lied all his life. He was in his car, off to C/B when he remembered he had forgotten the ring, when he arrived home, a pleasant surprise; Karen was walking through the door.
Lucas: Hi Ma! (Off to give her a hug) Oh, I miss you so much! What are you doing here, where are Andy and Lily??
Karen: Hi Lucas, I miss you too, very much. They are in the boat, they will be here later, I wanted to come earlier to see you, I was anxious for that. So tell me, where are you coming from all dressed up?
Lucas: I’m not coming, I’m going. I was on my way to pick up Brooke; we are going to Tric tonight. Peyton is throwing a party to launch Haley’s record. You should come; Haley would love to see you there.
Karen: I’m tired from the trip, but I might show up. So, what’s it between you and Brooke, hum?? Just remember that she already had enough!!!
Lucas: Ma, everything is ok between us, don’t worry. Well, I gotta go. Love having you back!! See you later.
Karen: Love to be back. Tell Brooke I said hi, and that I’ll pass by the store tomorrow to talk to her.
Lucas: Ok ma. Bye.
Still, the surprises were not finished. Later that evening, while everyone was at the party, Karen was at home with Andy and Lily, she felt bad for doing that to Haley, but she just wanted to have a lazy Thursday evening, doing exactly nothing. When Andy sat next to her, after putting Lily in bed, they started a movie and were sipping on some red wine, when the phone rang.
Karen: Hello…
Lindsay: Hi, this is Lindsay, who is this??
Karen: Hi Lindsay, it’s Karen, Lucas’ mom. Can I help you??
Lindsay: Hi Karen, how are you doing, and Andy and Lily??
Karen: We are doing great, we just arrived this afternoon, so, a little bit tired. What about you??
Lindsay: Good to hear that. I’m ok, tons of work… By the way, is Lucas there??
Karen: I’m sorry but he is not home. He went to a party with Brooke. I’ll let him know that you called.
Lindsay: Can you tell me where he is? Because I need to talk to him about his book…
Karen: Oh, ok. He is at Tric. At least I think he might still be there.
Lindsay: Thanks Karen, have a good night.
Karen: You’re welcome. Good night Lindsay.

Back at Tric

Brooke: Lucas, what is she doing here?
Lucas: I don’t know Brooke; I’m as surprised as you and everyone else’s. (both were talking with whispering tones)
The song was still playing, but no one was listening to it. Lindsay knew what was going on but she pretended not to.
Lindsay: Hi everyone!! So, what’s going on here??
Skills: Hey, Luke just ask…
Lucas: It’s the launch party for Haley’s record.
Skills: Yeah that too, but it’s also the night that Lucas proposed to his lady, Brooke Davis. She still hasn’t answered yet.
Brooke: Thanks’ for sharing Skills!
Lindsay: Wow, busy night hum?? Can I talk to you for a sec Luke?? In private.
Lucas: Sure, I’ll be right back Pretty Girl… (Passing by Haley and whispering) Should we start another line??
While Lucas was going to the office with Lindsay, Brooke went over to talk to Haley, who was sitting down with Jamie, that had his head on her lap and was sleeping.
Brooke: What do you think she is doing here??
Haley: I don’t know, I don’t even know how she knew that we were here. But you have nothing to worry about.
Brooke: Do you really thing so??
Haley: Brooke, after all he told you and after that song… Can you tell me what your answer is??
Brooke: Of course not Tutor Wife… But I think that you’re right, I can and have to start trusting Lucas again.

In the Office

Lucas: First of all, hi… (With a awkward look), second of all, how did you know I was here?
Lindsay: Hi. I called you and your mom told me that you were here.
Lucas: How can I help you?
Lindsay: I came here to talk to you about your book, because I sent e-mails and called you a couple of times but had no answer…
Lucas: Sorry, I have been helping Brooke and also, I’m pushing more and more with the coaching of the Ravens so…
Lindsay: I just wanted to let you know that the book is about to be released and we have to schedule the signs and where you’re going this time. But, now there is something else I want to ask you…
Lucas: Sure… How long have you been here??
Lindsay: I heard you proposing to Brooke. How long have you been in love with her?? Were you in love with her while writing a book about Peyton and while we were together?? (Asking in a sad but calm voice).
Lucas: I’m sorry Lindsay. In the past five months, starting when you gave me the key back, after Jamie’s birthday party, Brooke and I got closer and closer everyday because of Angie. I was missing you, but when I was with her, I had no more pain in me, I just had peace and happiness and it felt really good.
Lindsay: How come you didn’t tell me anything when I came back to tell that your book was done. You asked me if I missed you, why?? And that dedication, I thought that you had sent me a sign…
Lucas: I didn’t tell anything because I myself didn’t know it yet. I was refusing to see it. I have been in love with her for ever, but I didn’t want to see it, and I thought that she had moved on… And that dedication was for me, just for me.
Lindsay: But, that book, the comet was Peyton, how…
Lucas: The comet was a comet. But the book was about how I felt seeing Brooke again, except that until a few hours ago, I didn’t know that. Lindsay, I loved you and I enjoyed being with you, but I can’t help it, Brooke is the right girl for me. As you said, we need more than love to build a marriage, and Brooke and I have what is needed.
Lindsay: (crying but not angry) Luke, I won’t stand here and lie to you. I’m sad, I loved you very much, I still do, but deeply inside I knew that your past would come back and put an end to our future. I’m not mad and I do not hate you or Brooke. It will be hard for a while, but I only want you to be happy.
Lucas: I always knew you were special. This is probably not the time for that, but I would like to have you as my friend, whenever you’re ready for that. Thanks, for everything!
Lindsay: Thank you for never lying to me and for deciding how your live will be. You should go back to Brooke; you still have to hear her answer. I’ll be right out. And FYI, not right now, but I do want us to be friends. Now go!! (Lucas now kisses her on the forehead and walks out the door.)

Outside of the Office

Brooke: That conversation was going on forever. What happened??
Haley: Where is she Luke, what did she want??
Lucas: I was telling her what I told you Brooke and all of you tonight. How I feel now and how my heart feels. She wasn’t happy, but understood me.
Haley: I should go see her. Can you stay with Jamie for me Luke??
Brooke: No Haley, I’ll go. I think that we need to have a talk, a really good one.
Lucas: Brooke, don’t..
Brooke: It is ok Luke; I will do nothing that I might regret later.
Haley: Don’t worry Luke, they really need it. (Lucas seats where Brooke was).
Lindsay was finally coming out when Brooke arrived and asked if they could talk. Lindsay looked at her and seemed to fear what Brooke would say or do, but she got back in, followed by Brooke.
Brooke: I want you to know that I was as surprised as you might have been. I did nothing to make him do that, I would never betray you or anybody else, not after what I’ve been thru. I had no idea about the books…
Lindsay: Brooke, it’s ok. Luke and I cleared it all, I’m not mad or hurt, because nobody betrayed me. It just didn’t work out between us. I just want Luke to be happy. And yes, it is your fault that Lucas drove down that road.
Brooke: What do you mean by that, how do you have the courag… (in a mad voice)
Lindsay: Relax Brooke, it is your fault that he started to write those wonderful lines, it is your fault that he is a good man, it is your fault that he is who he is today. You were always the reason why he did all he did, even if nobody knew that. It’s really ok Brooke, I just want you guys to be happy.
Brooke: (With her eyes filled by tears) Lindsay, thanks. I never thought that I would hear that from you, but I appreciated it. I know that this might not be the time, but I want us to be friends. Thanks again.
Lindsay: (smiling). You and Luke are really meant for each other. I do want us to be friends, but not yet, and I promise that I’ll be back when I’m ready. Now get out of her and go tell the man that you love what you want. I’ll be right behind you.
Lucas sees the two of them leaving the office and runs over to Brooke. He looks worried but calm. Brooke and Lindsay looked calm.
Lucas: Brooke, is everything ok?? (looking at the 2 of them)
Brooke: Yes, everything is fine! (with a side smile and a look to Lindsay).
At this time, Mouth ran to the music station and turned on, once again, the song that Lucas brought. He thought that now was the time to really hear it and enjoy the moment. Brooke, as soon as the music started, grabbed Lucas’ hands and started to dance. She finally whispered her answer to him. He could not believe what he had heard. He let go of her instantly, and just stared at Brooke.
The club felt silent again. What did she say or not say??? The night was going longer than anyone else could have predicted, especially Lucas.

Chapter 06 – FINALLY AN ANSWER

FLASHBACK OF THURSDAY EVENING
As soon as the music started, Brooke grabbed Lucas’ hands and started to dance. She finally whispered her answer in his ears.
Brooke: Well, before I give you my final answer, there is someone I need to talk to first, and I’m pretty sure that this person will agree with what I have to tell you. So, meet me tomorrow, at 8 pm, in my place, and I’ll have your answer…
He could not believe what he had heard. He let go of her instantly, and just stared at Brooke.
The party was officially over. They all said good night. Brooke gave Lucas a kiss on the cheek and said:
Brooke: I’ll be waiting for you, don’t be late. I’ll have your answer with me!! (and winked)
Lucas: Brooke, please, what are you doing?? I need your answer…
Brooke: Don’t worry. Tomorrow at 8 pm. Bye Luke!! Bye everyone. Hales, congratulations, you deserve it, tutor wife!! (giving Haley a hug and a kiss on Jamie’s forehead.)
Lucas: Bye Brooke. Hey Haley, what have I done wrong?? Why is she doing that??
Haley: Lucas, it doesn’t even look like you know Brooke… Relax, she is totally into you. Go home and relax, everything will be fine.
Lucas: Ok…if you say so. Good night Hales, bye Nate. (waving)

THE NEXT MORNING INSIDE C/B STORE

Brooke: This morning is pretty much slow in business, isn’t it Millie?
Millicent: Yes, Brooke. Maybe because it’s the beginning of summer.
Brooke: Maybe, Millie. Can you do me a favour?
Millie: Sure, what do you need?
Brooke: Would you mind making an inventory of the bags and stuff that we have her behind the counter??
Millicent: Sure, no problem. (Goes behind the counter and duck)

Someone walks into the store

Brooke: I’ll be right with you in a second, and Millie, please remind me to get out of here earlier today because I have to call Karen, there is something very important that I need to discuss with her.
Karen: I think that it will not be necessary…
Brooke: (turns around) Ohhhh my gosh, Karen you are here. It’s so great to see you!!!
Karen: Yeah I’m here; didn’t Lucas tell you that I was coming here today??
Brooke: (goes to huge her) No, but how are you? When did you get back?? How did you know that I wanted to talk to you??
Karen: (returning the huge) Wow that’s too many questions at once, let’s go by parts. (she laughs). I’m doing great, we arrived yesterday afternoon, I met Lucas before the party, and he was so handsome, anyway... I didn’t know that you wanted to talk to me; I want to talk to you.
Brooke: So, if you arrived yesterday afternoon, how come you guys didn’t go to the party last night? Some very important things happened, and I need to talk to you about them.
Karen: We were exhausted from the trip and we preferred to stay in the house, but I told Lucas that I would come by and see you today. What happened?
Brooke: Karen wait a second. Millie since it’s very slow here today, you can take the morning off. I’ll see you in the afternoon.
Millicent: Oh, thanks Brooke. Call me if you need anything. See you later. Bye. (She walks out of the door)
Karen: What happened? What is so important that you had to give her the morning off? What’s going on Brooke?
Brooke: Karen, something HUGE happened yesterday, something that I would never, in a million years thought that it would or could happen.
Karen: What? Enough with the mystery already, you’re making me nervous.
Brooke: Lucas proposed to me (rushing her voice), and by the way Haley is pregnant again but who is counting, right?? (she laughed that nervous laugh).
Karen: What? Let me know if I heard that correctly. You are telling me that my son, Lucas asked you to marry him?
Brooke: Yep.
Karen: How did that happen?
Brooke: It was totally out of the blue. He started with this big speech about love, and then he said that he figured out what he wanted, what his heart wanted and that it was me. That he loves me with all his heart and he wanted to be with me for ever and ever, until we were really old.
Karen: And… keep on going Brooke, because knowing my son like I do, he didn’t stop there! (she laughs a bit).
Brooke: OK. He said that he took me for granted all this years, that I was the best thing in his life. That his heart races every time I’m next to him… (she puts her hand on her heart and gives Karen that in love look)
Karen: Come on, keep talking. I know there is more to say.
Brooke: He also said that I was his comet and that the last book was about me. The last two things he said was that I make his life full and complete and that it was always me.
Karen: Brooke, I’m so happy for you!!! (laughing a bit and holding her hand).
Brooke: Aren’t you surprise? I know I was, very surprised, in shock actually.
Karen: Nope, not even a bit. Do you wanna know why?
Brooke: Why? (With a confused and childish look in her eyes)
Karen: Because I knew it. I always knew it.
Brooke: Did he tell you this before?
Karen: No, but I know my son more than he thinks I do, and I could not tell this to him. These are things that we can only figure out by ourselves, that’s why I never said a thing, but I knew he would find his true. So, what was your answer?
Brooke: I didn’t give him one yet. I needed to talk to you first.
Karen: About what?
Brooke: About all of this. I don’t know what to do or what to think, I’m confused and a little bit afraid of open up and I’m scared... I need some advice or guidance, and you are like a mom to me…
Karen: Ok. I understand what might be going on in there and in there (pointing to Brooke’s head and heart) but answer me this, be true, do you love my son? I think I know that answer already but I’ll let you tell me. (she smiles).
Brooke: I love him, I always did, I never stopped loving him. I know that he is the one for me.
Karen: See, I already knew that, you two were made for each other. (she laughs). So, what’s stopping you?
Brooke: (unconsciously said) Peyton. I mean Peyton’s feelings, she might think that I did something to steal him back from her again.
Karen: Look, Brooke, hear me out. It’s more then ok to be a good friend, what is not ok, is when you put feelings of others in front of your own feelings. That is not healthy and I know for a fact that, this is what you’ve been doing all this years.
Brooke: (she froze and opened up her eyes) How did you know that?
Karen: Brooke, I know you very well too. Do you remember that you lived with me for almost 3 months? (she laughs). And besides, I never told you that, but I see a little bit of myself in you. Please, stop doing that, quit putting yourself down because of others, pay attention to your feelings. Peyton is a grown woman, she will get over it, and if she doesn’t, she might not be the friend that you thought she was.
Brooke: Seriously?
Karen: Seriously, Brooke. I have one more secret to tell you, you never lost him. But, let’s go back to the proposal, the bottom line is, do you wanna marry my son?
Brooke: More then anything in this whole wide world.
Karen: See, there is you answer right there.
Brooke: Thanks, Karen. Talking to you made everything much clearer and made me really good.
Karen: Would my future daughter-in-law consider stopping by the house later? (she smiled).
Brooke: Oh… I don’t know, I have this thing later. There is a very important men, who is a novelist, waiting for some sort of answer from me… I’m sorry, future mother-in-law…Maybe tomorrow. (She smiles).
Karen: Ok, that’s more important anyway. (she laughs too). I’m so happy for you Brooke. Welcome to my family! And I know it might be early, but I do hope you guys give me lots of grandkids. (she winks and stands up)
Brooke: Yeah, it’s early, but, I think we can work on that (winking). Thank you so much Karen, I’m happy to have you and Luke. Thanks!!! (giving her a hug).
Karen went back home, she had this smile and this day-dreamer look on her face all the way. She was truthfully happy. At the store, Brooke called Millicent and told her that there was a change of planes.
Brooke: I’m sorry I made you comeback so quickly, but I have a lot to do for tonight.
Millie: That’s ok Brooke. Go be happy!! (giving her a hug).

LATER THAT SAME NIGHT IN BROOKE´S HOUSE

The living/dining room have dim lights creating a very romantic atmosphere, the table was very well put with lots of candles and flowers, giving the room a even more romantic feeling.
Exactly at 8pm, the door bell rings. A very elegant and well dressed Brooke walks up the hallway to open the door.

Brooke: (opening the door) Hello Lucas Scott, come on in!
Lucas: Good evening, pretty girl (giving a her a light kiss on the lips and entering the room) I love what you did with this place.
Brooke: (closing the door) Thanks, it’s great, I know. But, don’t you have something that you want to ask me, Luke?
Lucas: In fact I do Brooke Davis. Come here… (grabbing her hand and taking her to sit on the couch).
Brooke: Uhh, the couch, so naughty. (she laughs).
As soon as Brooke sat on the couch, Lucas got down on his knees and grabbed a little black velvet box from inside his suit and opened it, showing Brooke a amazing ring, a new one.
Lucas: Will you marry me pretty girl? (giving her the most amazing look of love that anyone could have ever saw).
Brooke: Yes boyfriend, I'll marry you. (almost with tears in her eyes)
Lucas: Pretty girl, you just made me the happiest men on the face of the earth.(putting the ring on her finger).
As Lucas was putting the ring on her finger, they went slowly getting closer and closer, until Brooke said:
Brooke: I’m glad that I said yes. (looking in his eyes and giving him a very passionate kiss). Now let’s go eat, shall we??
Lucas: Did you cook dinner? Ohhh my god…Ok, before we start I have to check it with FDA, the Poisoning Control Center or should we get going to Tree Hill Hospital??? (he laughs and kisses her on the cheek).
Brooke: Silly boy… You’re so NOT funny. FYI, I have improved a lot in these past years. So, sit down and eat.
After dinner, that he admitted was actually really good, Lucas got up from the table to give her one more surprise.
Brooke: Where are you going, fiancée?
Lucas: I have one more surprise for you…
Brooke: Well, I see you are full of surprises tonight (she laughs), you’re gonna spoil me, but I don’t care... What is it?
Lucas: (going behind the kitchen counter to grab the little music system and puts a cd on). May I have the honour to have this dance, my pretty girl?
Brooke: Of course, my fiancée!
They danced cheek to cheek to the music of Frank Sinatra, “The way you look tonight”
Some day, when I'm awfully low/When the world is cold/I will feel a glow just thinking of you/And the way you look tonight/Yes, you're lovely, with your smile so warm/And your cheeks so soft/There is nothing for me but to love you/And the way you look tonight/With each word your tenderness grows/Tearin' my fear apart/And that laugh… wrinkles your nose/Touches my foolish heart/Lovely ... Never, never change/Keep that breathless charm/Won't you please arrange it ? 'cause I love you/Just the way you look tonight/And that laugh that wrinkles your nose/It touches my foolish heart/Lovely ... Don't you ever change/Keep that breathless charm/Won't you please arrange it ? 'cause I love you/a-just the way you look tonight/Mm, Mm Mm, Mm,/Just the way you look tonight.
When the music ended….
Brooke: Let’s just go to bed… (with a cute wink).
Lucas: Ok, there is nothing else that I want more with you. I want to hold you really tight next to me, like in senior year when we got back together and spent the whole night sleeping and holding each other. Do you remember?
Brooke: Yes, I remember
Lucas: And I woke you up kissing you on the neck and I gave you a really long Esquimalt kiss… Well, I plan to do the exact same thing tonight.
Brooke: Ohhh, I love that and I also remember that, the very next morning you left me to help Peyton find her mother. Are you gonna do the exact same thing tomorrow? (in a joke/angry voice).
Lucas: (laughs) No, I won’t. Like I said I planned to stay all morning cuddling, holding you really tight next to me and giving you lots and lots of kisses, and never letting you go again!!!
Brooke: That sounds like an amazing plan, I can’t wait. I may even cut work tomorrow.
Lucas: I recommend you to do that… (he laughs).
Brooke: Let’s go. I love you Lucas Scott! (kissing and going into the bedroom)
Lucas: I love you too, very much. (they sat on the bed and started kissing more passionately).

MEANWHILE IN ANOTHER PART OF TREE HILL

RAVENS GYM

Q: Come on Nate, you can do it.
Jamie: Yeah daddy, do it like yesterday.
Nathan: I’m trying.
Q: Try harder, Nathan Scott. Which way am I going to go eh? Which way? Right, left.
Nathan: Damn it.
Q: Nice try, but you’ve missed. Me 2 points you 0.
Nathan: Thanks for embarrassing in front of my son for the hundredth time (he laughs).
Q: Nate you can do better then this. I saw that spark yesterday.
Jamie: Yeah, daddy Q is right. Remember, just do like we did the first time you dunked again, that night was great!!!
Nathan: I guess today is not my day.
Q: You can’t say that, we improved so much in these three months, you even got an agent. Come on, try again, and better this time.
Meanwhile Haley is entering the gym to watch her husband practice. She seats right next to Jamie.
Haley: Hi, baby. How is daddy doing today?
Jamie: Hi, mama. Daddy is really doing badly today.

By this time Q and Nathan realized Haley’s presence.
Q: Hi, Mrs. Scott.
Haley: Hi, Quentin.
Nathan: Hi, honey.
Haley: Hi, sweetie. I came to see your practice and to see all this wonderful moves that I’ve being hearing about.
Q: Let’s try again Nate, come on. This time you have to do better, I mean, the lady is here (winking and pointing to Haley). Here is the ball.
Nathan: You think you know what I am going to do next, but you don’t.
Nate makes an awesome turn, leaving Q in a complete ashamed situation and performing an incredible dunk.
Nathan: Wowww that feels good!! How do you like that Q??
Jamie: (running to his father with a happy smile and hugs him) nice dunk daddy.
Haley: Way to go babe! (goes to him, hugs and kisses him) amazing dunk. I saw there the Nathan Scott that I know.
Nathan: Thanks, Jim Jam. Thanks, honey that basket was for you!!!
Jamie: By the way daddy, did you know that you stink when you are wet? (laughing).
Nathan: (laughing) yes son, I know.
Jamie and Haley went back to their seats.
Q: Way to go Mr. Nathan Scott.
Nathan: Thanks, Q.
Q: Maybe you need Mrs. Scott to be here every day for practice.
Nathan: Funny, Q. Let’s start again.
As soon as they were about to start again, a familiar voice came from the other side of the gym.

Whitey: Someone told me that the best player of the Ravens was trying to make a comeback and I couldn’t believe it, I needed to see it for myself.
Everybody turned around to see who it was.
Haley: (with a surprise face) Oh, my god Coach Whitey, is that really you?
Whitey: The same flesh and blood that you saw the last time we were together Haley (he laughs).
Haley: (laughs too) That’s good to know. Welcome back coach!!!
Nathan: (with a surprise face too) Coach Whitey, good to see you in here again. How are you?
Whitey: I’m good, happy to be here again. Nothing changed, there are still the same old people with the same old problems going around…(he laughs again). That’s some pretty amazing dunk you did earlier, just like the ones I used to see you do with that old 23 Ravens jersey.
Nathan: Thanks, coach. That means a lot to me.
Whitey: Don’t mention. It’s good to see that the good old Nathan Scott is coming back slowly. Who is this little boy, Jamie?
Haley: Yes, this is him.
Whitey: Boy, you’ve grown a lot!! And looks a lot with your Uncle Lucas, you know that?? (he laughs a little).
Jamie: I’m 5 years old. (With a big smile on his face).
Whitey: Well, congratulations on that.
Nathan: Coach Whitey, I want you to know this great Ravens’ player, all though his attitude it’s not always what is expected from a raven…(he laughs a little). This is Quentin.
Q: Pleasure to meeting you, Mr. Whitey.
Whitey: It’s Coach Whitey son and the pleasure is all mine. You must be one amazing player in order to be in Nathan Scott’s good side (he laughs).
Q: Ok. Thanks Coach Whitey.
Whitey: Well, I already saw what I wanted. I’m going to go now.
Nathan: Coach, please stay for the rest of the practice. Haley and I will be honoured to have you in our home tonight or any other, stay to have dinner with us.
Whitey: Well, I guess I could do that. Thanks son!!!

THE NEXT MORNING IN BROOKE´S HOUSE.

The house is completely silent. Brooke and Lucas were in the bedroom, Peyton wasn’t home, she had been sleeping at a hotel since thursday. It was a little bit past 10 am when someone opened the door.
The person is walking on her tiptoes, like she almost doesn’t want anybody to know that she is there. After looking around at the flowers and candles and that little black velvet box on the coffee table, there is no where else to go but Brooke’s room.
As soon as the door opens, all that she could see was Lucas and Brooke under the covers, arms and shoulders showing. They were holding each other really tight. The “spy” was caught by surprise; she had never expected to see this. And worse, she could see it perfectly; the ring was shining like the morning sun. She tiptoed slowly towards the bed. When she was as close to Brooke’s face as could be, she said:
She: Brooke Penelope Davis, What is this, and what in the world do you think you are doing?
Brooke: (opening her eyes and with a surprise/shock face) Mother?!

Chapter 07 – A new day has come

Victoria: Yes, of course it’s me. Who did you expect, the Queen of England??
Brooke: (waking up Lucas) No, but I certainly did not expect you. What are you doing in my house?
Victoria: I’ll do the questions here. What is going on? What is it that this half dead town boy is doing in your bed??
Brooke: First of all, Lucas is my fiancé, so do not talk about him like hat. Second this is my house, and I’ll make the questions. And finally, get out of my bedroom; I’ll be in the living room in 10 minutes.
Victoria looks angry but walks out, going straight to the living-room and slamming the door on her way out. She seats on the couch and waits.
In the bedroom, Luke is as confused as Brooke, but tries to assure her that it will be ok.
Brooke: It’s unbelievable. Why can’t she leave me alone?? She has no business here, I fired her!!! What does she wants, money, her job back, oh wait, be a mom?? (very sarcastic and angry)
Lucas: Hey, Brooke, look at me, just relax. She can’t control you anymore. She can’t tell you what to do. Remember that she told you that you would never be able to have your own company, now you carry it by yourself, and very well I should say, remember that she said that you would be a horrible mom, you proved her wrong once again. You’re better than her Brooke. And I’ll be here with you, all the time!
Brooke: Yeah, you’re right. Thanks, I love you.
Fifteen minutes later, Lucas and Brooke are in the living room, looking at Victoria and waiting for an explanation.
Victoria: So, are you gonna tell me what is going on here or will I have to send you back to New York?
Brooke: You do not deserve to know it, but Lucas and I are engaged. Now please, go away, you are not welcomed here.
Victoria: You can only be kidding… What did you see on this medioc…
Lucas: Excuse me, but you heard her, please, go away.
Victoria: No, you better go away. She is my daughter and I know what is best for her. She only is where she is because of me. You are only taking advantage of her, like Peyton and all of your vampire friends. Brooke, you have too much to lose.
Brooke: He is the one guy I might lose it for. And the only one that took advantage of me all this years was you. (walking to the door and opening it). Now please, get out of my house and don’t even bother coming back, you have nothing to do here.
Victoria decides that she has nothing else to say. She leaves the house saying that Brooke would regret doing that. At this very moment, Peyton walks in and sees Brooke and Lucas hugging. She thinks of walking out, but decides to stay and let them know that she was there.
Peyton: Morning room-mate. How was your night??
Brooke: Oh, hi... it was good… (feeling a little bit uncomfortable).
Lucas: Morning Peyton.
Peyton: Morning. Well, I’m going to my room, don’t let me stop you. You guys look so cute together… (in a ironic tone).
Brooke: Thanks… We should get out of here. Maybe we can stop by your house; your mom is probably waiting for us…
Lucas: Great idea. And by the way, you look great!!! (and kiss her on the lips).
Haley and Nathan were really tired…Thursday night was longer than what they predicted and Jamie, that had slept earlier, was up since 7:30 on Friday. That same day they stayed at the gym until around 8 pm, and the night was long, they had a lot to tell Coach Whitey. Jamie even showed him some of his moves… That night was a trip down memory lane, they all had fun. Whitey left when it was a little bit after mid-night, but he assured them that he would be back.
Saturday morning, Nate got up early to stay with Jamie while Haley was taking a shower and getting ready to go to the studio, while Nathan would go to practice. So, they decide to stop by Luke’s place and drop Jamie off, to spend the day with his Uncle. Around 9:50am Haley knocked at the door:
Haley: Come on Luke, it is not that early, open the door please.
Karen: Luke is not here, but would you like to come in?? (opening her arms to hug Haley).
Haley: Oh My God… Karen… (and hugged her)
Karen: Oh, is so good to see you!! I miss you, all of you. Come on in. Luke is not home, he spent the night with Brooke…(winking).
Jamie: Hi Aunt Karen can I go play with Lily??
Karen: Hi Jamie, yes you can, but I want a hug first.
Haley: So, what is it about Lucas and Brooke? Did she say yes to him??
At this very moment they hear a familiar voice.
Brooke: Yes, I’m now, officially the future Mrs. Lucas Scott, and you are officially my made of honor.
Everybody celebrated. There were hugs and kisses everywhere.
Karen: Well, we should have a breakfast party, let’s celebrate!! I’m so happy. Lucas, could you imagine our family, turning out to be this big??
Lucas: No Ma, not really, but I’m enjoying it that way.
Brooke: Well, I’m glad I’m part of it!! Tutor Wife, we are going to be relatives…(hugging Haley).
Haley: Yeah Brooke, I guess we will.
Brooke and Haley were helping Karen set up the table. The guys were in the living room with the kids, it was the perfect family reunion on a Saturday morning. Karen had never seen her house this full and this happy. She was taking it all in, and with a big smile on her face.
At the table, Karen was next to Andy, Nathan next to Haley and Lucas next to Brooke. They were talking about everything. All of a sudden Haley starts to laugh.
Brooke: What’s going on Hales?
Haley: Nothing, it is just funny how things turned out to be… It is just like I imagined, except for the part that I would be expecting my second child.
Karen: Speaking of it, do you know the sex of the baby?
Nathan: No, we decided that it should be a surprise. Besides, the godparents will buy everything all over again, so we decided not to spend our money with the details. We got the basics, diapers, some neutral bodysuits and sleepers, but the fancy stuff, we are really counting on the godparents. (very serious)
Andy: Oh really, and who are the godparents?? They will have to be very rich…
Haley: Well, how can we say that…? I don’t know if you guys are gonna like it…
Lucas: Haley, come on… what are you joking about??
Haley: Well, ok, I guess we can throw it in the wind… We want it to be this girl that has a clothing line called “Baby Brooke” and this guy that wrote a book about a comet, that actually is his soul mate...
Brooke: Haley… you did it again, you made me cry!!! Thanks… We are so happy!!! I would get up and give a hug but, Lucas’ arms are better… (Smiling at Luke and winking).
Karen: You two…Godparents again. These two kids are very lucky. So, I have a question for you Lucas and Brooke. I do not want to rush you guys, but I’m really jealous of Deb being a grandmother again…
Lucas: Ma, please…We don’t have to talk about it right now… (Blushing a little).
Karen: Ok, just saying. (Everybody on the table laughed)
While the Scott family was having a great mid-morning Saturday, Peyton was at the studio with a new band that she signed 2 weeks ago. They were recording but she was not there… her head was back in Tric on Thursday night and at Brooke’s living room, earlier this morning, when she saw Brooke and Lucas together, and she spotted the ring on Brooke’s finger. She was really far from being ok.
Peyton: (thinking – she was looking at the band, but was not seeing them) Why can’t I be happy for them? I blew my chances with him…But, why can’t I forget him?? Why am I mad at Brooke??? I know why, she told me that she had not come back for Lucas, but she did. She wanted him all this time, that’s why she liked Lindsay, she knew they were not going to work out, she knew Lindsay was just keeping Lucas away from me… Peyton, listen to what you’re saying…she is your best friend… she left him on senior year just for you, not even Lucas knows that. How can you be so selfish??? How can you not be ha…
At this very moment, someone enters the control room and touches Peyton on the shoulder, bringing her back from her thoughts and scaring her, she had the impression that someone was listening to her, but that was absurd.
Secretary: Peyton, there is someone on line 1 that really wants to talk to you; he said he knows you since high school.
Peyton: Well, can you take a message please; I’m really busy right now. Thanks
Secretary: I told him that, but he didn’t listen, he said he would keep calling until you talked to him. This is the fourth time already.
Peyton: (with worried eyes) Ok Jessica, I’ll be right out. (opening the sound inside the recording booth) Hey guys, I have to take a phone call, why don’t you take a brake while I’m gone??
At Lucas’s house, the sounds that were filling the air were the laughs that they were sharing with each other. Now they were all in the living room, watching Jamie and Lily play and talking about their lives. It was really nice to look around and see these three pretty and happy couples together and enjoying themselves. All of a sudden Haley’s cell phone rings…
Haley: Weird, Lucas is usually the only one that bothers me on Saturdays…(smiling at him). Hello??
Peyton: Hi Haley, I know you’re schedule to record this afternoon, but I really need you here, can you come now??
Haley: Well, yes, but what happened??
Peyton: Nothing, I’ll tell you when you get here. Thanks Hales.
Haley: You’re welcome. I’ll be right there,
Nathan: Who was it Haley?
Haley: It was Peyton, she wants me to go to the studio earlier, she said she needs my help. Maybe she wants me to find the magic on the new band, like I did with Mia… (and laughs).
Nathan: Well, I can give you ride, and then I’ll go practice a little. Karen, can we leave Jamie with you??
Karen: Sure, no problem, he and Lilly are having so much fun, it will be great. Go and enjoy your Saturday. Haley, give Peyton a kiss for me, and tell her that I’m really proud.
Haley: Thanks Karen, for staying with Jamie for us, and don’t worry, I’ll tell Peyton.
Nathan: Hey Luke, do you want to join me at practice??
Lucas: No, I think that I will stay here for a while longer, enjoy this lazy Saturday with my fiancé and my mom, and my sister, and my godson and of course Andy… (everybody laughed).
Haley: Ok them, we’ll see you all later. Thanks again.
Nathan and Haley wished Jamie a nice day and told him to behave. They said good bye and were gone five minutes after the phone call.
Karen: (whispering) Andy, what do you think of going out, just the two of us??
Andy: I think it’s great. I miss going on a date with you. (giving her a kiss)
Karen: Ok, I’ll talk to Lucas. Hey Lucas, can you come here please?
Lucas: Sure, what is it Ma?
Karen: Andy and I haven’t been on a date for a long time…
Lucas: Sure. We can stay with the kids. Go ahead and have fun!!
Karen: Thanks!!! You two have fun too. Lilly and Jamie, watch this two so they don’t burn the house ok?
Lilly and Jamie: We will.
Lucas: Ma, you’re so funny… Now go, before we change our minds… (smiling).
All of a sudden it was just Brooke, Lucas and the kids.
Lucas: So, suddenly we have 2 kids… (Winking at her)
Brooke: Well, they are cute and everything, I just hope that together they don’t get really messy.
Lucas: Well, if they do, you just have to clean it. Remember, the mop is outside the kitchen. (Laughing and receiving some light punches from Brooke).
Brooke: So kids, what do you guys want to do??
Jamie: Can we go to the park Aunt Brooke?
Lilly: Yeah Luke, can we go??
Lucas: (looking at Brooke like asking if she was up to it) sure why not?? Let’s enjoy this pretty Saturday afternoon outside. Come on everybody.
Jamie: Thanks Uncle Lucas, thanks Aunt Brooke, you are the best.
They stayed out for at least 2 and half hours. Lucas and Brooke seemed more tired than the kids, but as soon as they walked through the door, the kids jumped on Lucas’ bed and after only five minutes they were sound asleep.
Brooke: They are so much cuter when they are quiet. Don’t you think?? (With a tired tone on her voice)
Lucas: Well, I could agree with you, but then, what is the fun… (Laughing)
Brooke: Shhhh….Hush Luke, do not wake them. Let’s go to the living room, but leave the door opened in case someone needs something.
Lucas: You’re such a good mom Brooke Davis!!! Oh, I’m so lucky. (she gives him a kiss).
Lucas and Brooke set together on the couch, she was leaning against his chest, without noticing, they also fell asleep. That had been the best Saturday ever, for everyone, except for Peyton, who was anxiously waiting for Haley.
Haley: Hi, I’m here, what’s up??
Peyton: Thank God!! What took you so long??
Haley: It took me only 10 minutes to get here. What’s wrong? You’re making me nervous.
Peyton: I was working with the band at the studio when Jessica came in and told me that this guy, that I met in high school, was on the phone wanting to talk to me, and if I did not answer he would keep calling…
Haley: That’s creepy. Did you answer it??
Peyton: It only gets worse. I answered because she told me that it was the fourth time he was calling. When I came to the phone, I was shocked, I couldn’t even breathe.
Haley: Peyton, tell me already, I can’t get nervous like that…
Peyton: Sorry Hales, but it’s hard to say it out loud, especially after all I’ve been through because of him.

At Lucas’ house

Brooke: How long have we slept??
Karen: I don’t know, but the kids said that you were so cute together, they didn’t want to wake you up. So they decided to fix themselves something to eat… And guess what??
Lucas: They turned out to be great chefs?
Karen: Not quiet… The surprise is, the kitchen is all yours. Lucas you wash the dishes and Brooke, you mop the floor. Enjoy the rest of your afternoon!!! (everybody laughs).
Lucas: See Brooke, I knew the mop was coming. Come on Pretty Girl, I’ll do the evens and you’ll do the odds.
Brooke: Oh, would you really do that? (with a very girly face)
Lucas: Anything for you Brooke. (giving her a very passionate kiss on the lips).
Back at the studio, Peyton was unsure of how to tell Haley who was the guy in the other side of the line, and Haley was inpatient with Peyton’s delay to tell her all about it.
Peyton: I suffered a lot, it was hard get pass it…
Haley: Oh no, what that psycho wants?? Is he out of jail??
Peyton: No, who said anything about him, it was not him, thank God!
Haley: Who was then, Pete, from Fall out Boy?? (With a smile and trying make the atmosphere lighter)
Peyton: (smiling) Hales, only you to make me smile now. But no, not him, the phone call came from Jake…

Chapter 08 - Anytime Soon?

Haley: Wow Peyton, that's good news right??
Peyton: Not sure Hales, I'm still pretty much messed up because of this Brucas: The Return, and them Jake appears out of nowhere?!
Haley: Peyton, I don't know if you’re gonna like what I have to say but... You have to make up your mind. You told me once that you were in love with the IDEA of you and Luke... And it's nor fair to him or Brooke that you get all upset about it.
Peyton: I know that Hales, Brooke has always been a good friend to me. I know she deserves to be happy but I don’t know why the thought of them makes me sick.
Haley: You have to let it go. The time and the destiny showed that you weren’t meant to be, maybe this call from Jake is the way that destiny has to show you who is the right person for you.
Peyton: Maybe you are right, but I don’t know.
Haley: So, going back to the phone call how did he find you?
Peyton: I don’t know, maybe he called Lucas or he is the mystery guy that Mia told me about.
Haley: Did he tell you what he wants?
Peyton: I asked that and when he was about to tell me, he said “I have to get going, I’ll talk to you later” and he hang up.
Haley: Uhhh, that’s intriguing. Did he leave you a number where you can reach him?
Peyton: Tell me about it. No he didn’t so I’m in the edge of my seat, and I’m sorry but, forget about that let’s just go to work on the songs thing...
Haley: Yeah, you are right.
A few days passed since the last events and Lucas was planning a very special night for his pretty girl, everyone said that they looked more in love and close than they ever where on High School. He calls her every day, and once or twice a week, he stops by the store to take her to lunch or dinner and today was one of those days.

INSIDE C/B STORE

Lucas walks in
Lucas: Hey Millie how are you?
Millie: Hi, Lucas I’m good and you.
Lucas: That’s good to know, I’m great. Where is the woman of my dreams?
Millie: (she laughs) She is in the back, do you want me to go get her?
Lucas: No I can do it, I want to surprise her.
Millie: Ok. Come on in then.
Lucas goes to the back and finds Brooke looking at some papers with her back facing the door. He grabs her by the waist and starts kissing her neck.
Brooke: Ummm, Lucas not now, I’m working.
Lucas: No, not anymore. How did you know it was me?
Brooke: (Turning around to face him) because you are the only one who gives me this amazing neck kisses, (she kisses him softly on the lips). But anyways, what are you doing here in the middle of the day?
Lucas: I’m here because of 3 things: First - to take you out to lunch, Second - to tell you to get prettier for tonight, even though I don’t think that this is possible… I want to take you to dinner and I have a very special night planed for the two of us.
Brooke: And what about the third thing??
Lucas: Oh yes, the third one, the most important reason I came by, to let you know that I love you, I miss you and I wanted to see you.
Brooke: Ohhhh, where was this Lucas back in High School? (She laughs).
Lucas: (he laughs too) That Lucas didn’t realize how much in love with his pretty girl he was. And to finish our conversation, I’ll give you this big kiss… (giving her the most passionate kiss). Shall we go to lunch now?
Brooke: Fiancé, I can’t today I have this big conference call with Macy’s in 15 minutes and I can’t reschedule it. I’m sorry.
Lucas: (with a sad/puppy dog face) Its ok, work comes first and it was a surprise anyway, but tonight you have no excuses, and no way to escape me! (He laughs and kisses her softly on the lips). Bye pretty girl. I’ll pick you up at 8.30. Love you!
Brooke: Bye, Luke. Love you too.

AT LUCAS´ HOUSE

Lucas was sitting in the couch, working on some game plays for the next season but he couldn’t stop thinking on what he will do with/to Brooke tonight, when he was called back to reality by his mom’s voice.

Karen: Lucas?? Lucas (talking lauder), are you listening to me?
Lucas: Sorry Ma, what were you saying?
Karen: First what were you thinking? Because you have that day dreaming look.
Lucas: Nothing Ma. Don’t worry.
Karen: Ok, I won’t worry, but it was about Brooke wasn’t it? (Smiling and winking)
Lucas: Ma, please… Just say what you wanted…
Karen: I was telling you that, late this afternoon, Andy, Lilly and I will be going to the boat and we’re gonna spend the night, so we can get up early and go fishing tomorrow morning.
Lucas: Ok. When are you coming back?
Karen: I think that tomorrow afternoon or maybe tomorrow evening, the latest. So you are responsible for the house, as always.
Lucas: Ok Ma, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of the house.

THAT NIGHT

It was 8:30 and Lucas was standing at Brooke’s front door. When he pushed the doorbell, an amazing, stunning and very well dress Brooke Davis, showed up to open the door.
Lucas: (with a surprise face) Woooow, I was clearly wrong, you can get prettier, you are breath taking tonight. Are you ready pretty girl?
Brooke: Thanks for the compliment. Yes I’m ready. Where are you taking me? (Giving him a soft kiss on the lip).
Lucas: (returning the kiss) O well, I can’t say were, but be sure that I’m gonna take you to a very special place.
Brooke: Ok. Let’s go.
They both seat on the car and Lucas drove them to the restaurant.
The two of them were sitting at the most luxurious restaurant in Tree Hill, right by the river. The night was warm and little bit breezy, special to engage in romantic activities. Lucas was distracted by a happy and dreamy Brooke looking at him.
Lucas: What are you thinking Brooke?
Brooke: I’m thinking of you and me and all the happy times we had and are having together. I can’t believe all this happiness is possible.
Lucas: Brooke, believe it, it is possible. It was about time. You and I deserve to be happy. It took us too many obstacles and years to get to this place were we are now, so let’s enjoy it! Do you wanna know what I’m thinking?
Brooke: Of course I do.
Lucas: I’m thinking about my planes for tonight… (with a naughty face), my planes for our future, and I’m realizing that I’m so happy to be here with you, and so glad that finally I listened to my heart and made the right decision. (kissing her hand).
Brooke: Lucas, that’s so sweet (she stand up and gives him a kiss). What are planning for our future?
Lucas: (holding Brooke’s hand, and looking into her eyes) I see the two of us married, living in a nice, big house here. We are both very successful; you could say we are a power couple and having three of the most gorgeous kids, they will all have your dimples and your smile.
Brooke: (with watering eyes) Awww Luke…(taking a deep breath) And, can you tell me what are your planes for tonight?
Lucas: Sure I can, and that’s a little bit more fun (laughing a bit). Well, since my mom, Andy and Lilly are out of town until tomorrow afternoon, there will be no one bothering us in my house (naughty look again)...I thought we could get a wild night of intimacy with each other. (Laughing a bit).
Brooke: Umm, I think you have a point there Lucas Scott and I can’t wait to prove it, maybe we could take some whipping cream home?! (Laughing a bit too and looking at him with naughty eyes).
Lucas: (with the biggest grin) Waiter, the check please.
Brooke: But we didn’t finish our meal.
Lucas: Who cares, the food can wait, besides, desert is always better… (winking at her)

A little while later, the happy couple was on their way to Luke’s house. When they arrived and stepped away from the vehicle, Luke grabbed Brooke’s hand.
Lucas: Let’s go to my door. (giving her a kiss)
Brooke: Why?
Lucas: (Walking fast) Because it’s the shorter way to get in bed. (laughing a bit).
Brooke: Ok. This dress is gold (laughing).
When they reached Lucas’ door……He pushed her against the wall and started kissing her in the most passionate way.
Brooke: Can’t you just wait until we get inside your room? (Laughing a bit), someone could see us.
Lucas: (reaching for the door knob) No, I have been waiting for this for a very long time and people can’t see us.
The door is finally opened and Lucas pulled Brooke inside his room, closing the door with his hand.
Again he pushed her against the wall and started kissing her, like he could lose her in the next second, very urgent... They couldn’t keep their hands of each other; they looked like two teenagers all over again.
Soon their clothes started to fly away from their bodies, landing on the floor, leaving Brooke with nothing else than her bra, and Lucas had only his pants on. He was working on opening her bra, and she was pulling his pants down. But she pushed him away a little bit and said:
Brooke: Let’s just go to bed now (grabbing Lucas’ hand).
Lucas: I wanted to hear that for so long. (with a big grin).
They thrown themselves in bed, kissing in a frenetic/passionate way, their hands running all over each others bodies.
Lucas: Let me take off these pants…(stop kissing Brooke).
Brooke: I’ll help you! (removing Lucas pants and starting to kiss him again).
Lucas: Come here, let me take off your bra, (stop kissing her a bit) and maybe I’ll do with my teeth… (laughing a bit).
Brooke: No, you are gonna break it, this is expansive...
Lucas: I’m kidding, Brooke (Start kissing her again and removing her bra).

At this moment, the situation got really hot and heavy.
Right then, when all was getting hotter and more serious, someone stops at the door…
Karen: (turning the light on) Lucas, I need to tell you that… OH, MY GOD!!! (she went speechless when she saw the situation).
Lucas: What the hell!!!, Ma what are you doing here? (visibly ashamed, and pulling the covers over him and Brooke). I thought you said you were gonna be out until tomorrow.
Karen: Sorry, son, I didn’t know you had company… (she laughs a bit). Hi Brooke.
Brooke: (visibly ashamed and uncomfortable) Hi Karen.
Karen: I think I’ll be in the kitchen. Lucas, I need to talk to you. I’ll wait there.
Lucas: Can you just go Ma, please?(saying this in an upset tone)
Karen: Ok. I’m gone!
Brooke: (laughing) Hey Luke, do you think that we will be able to do it anytime soon??
Lucas: (laughing too and getting dress in the same time) I don’t know pretty girl, but I sure hope so. I’m sorry Brooke… (giving her a kiss).
Brooke: That’s ok, it wasn’t your fault… I’ll be here, dressed… (winking)
A while later, Lucas walks into the kitchen and sees his mom sitting on the dinning table, drinking some coffee. He pulls a chair…
Lucas: Hi Ma, sorry that you have to see that and please don’t do that again.
Karen: Sorry to break that heated moment and atmosphere. (staring at him with a funny face) I promise you that I’ll never do that again.
Lucas: What do you wanna talk to me about?
Karen: I was gonna tell you that we didn’t go to the boat because your sister wasn’t feeling well.
Lucas: What was wrong with her? How is she now?
Karen: We are not sure, but she was feeling dizzy, but she is better now.
Instead of waiting, Brooke decided to live the shyness in the room, and went to join Lucas and Karen in the kitchen. She was fully dressed.
Brooke: Hi Karen, again. I’m here fiancé, I could not hide in the bedroom anymore. (giving him a kiss).
Karen: Hi Brooke, nice dress, you look gorgeous.
Brooke: Thanks, Karen. Luke, I think I’m gonna home.
Lucas: Wait, I’ll go with you. Bye Ma.
Brooke: Bye Karen.
Karen: Bye Lucas, bye Brooke. Sorry again. (she laughs when they leave)
They walked to Brooke’s house, Lucas had his arm around her shoulders and when they reached her house, Lucas said.
Lucas: Brooke, (laughing) I can wait, don’t worry. Do you want me to tell you a secret?.
Brooke: Yes.
Lucas: Ok. Do you remember junior year when you lived in my house?
Brooke: Of course I do, why??
Lucas: Remember that one day you entered the bathroom to tell me to hurry up bit because of the hot water?
Brooke: Yes, and…?
Lucas: Well, I was taking a cold shower…
Brooke: Yeah, the dream with Peyton… Keep talking.
Lucas: And when you put your hand in the shower, you told me “Lucas that’s gross”, and asked me to say hello to Peyton for you?
Brooke: What, you actually did??? (getting a little bit stressed)
Lucas: Not really, it happens that actually my wet dream was about you. (he laughs a bit).
Brooke: (with a shocked/surprise face)Oh, I didn’t know that. You are so naughty, Lucas Scott.
Lucas: I am, but how could I not be?? (laughing) Bye Pretty girl, sleep well, love you! (giving her a kiss).
Brooke: I love you too (returning the kiss), I’m gonna miss you. Sleep tight… Don’t go taking wet showers in the next few days, hum??!! (winking)

THE NEXT DAY

Lucas was talking with Nathan at Ravens’ gym and Brooke was doing the same with Haley at C/B.

Nathan: So Luke, how is it between you and Brooke? Will I be an uncle soon?
Lucas: Nate, I swear to god that Brooke and I, we are not having any opportunity...
Haley: But Brooke, why?
Brooke: I don't know, the first night we spent together was the proposal night and we just wanted to cuddle, but last night, we were all for it
Lucas: We were in my house, my mom was in the boat with Andy, and we were supposed..
Nathan: To be alone...
Haley: But you were not…
Nathan/Haley: What happened?
Haley: Brooke, please, don’t tell me that you decided not to...
Brooke: No, we were taking my bra off, and all of a sudden..
Lucas: someone turns my bedroom’s lights on...
Brooke: And Karen walks in...
Nathan/Haley: Wow, that was not good.... what did you do?
Lucas: Tell me about it, I tried to cover myself as fast as possible, after that, I pretty much yelled at my mom.
Brooke: Hales, I was begging that Karen would not see me, but that was impossible, I was kind of on top... So I tried covering myself as fast as I could, but I was so embarrassed.
Nathan: (laughing) I would not want to be in your shoes last night, Luke.
Haley: (laughing) I would not want to be in your shoes last night and I would feel the exactly same way.
Lucas/Brooke: I know.
Someone enters to C/B, Brooke and Haley turn around to see Peyton standing at the door.

Brooke: Hi Peyton, how are you? I haven’t see you in a few days.
Haley: Hi Peyton.
Peyton: Hi, Haley. Hi Brooke, I’m good and I have being super busy with the record label.
Brooke and Haley: That’s good news, congrats on that (goes to hug her).
Peyton: (returning the hugs) Thanks girls. Brooke can I ask you a question?
Brooke: Yes, of course.
Peyton: Haley, can you excuse us for a second?
Haley: Yes, of course.
Brooke: Haley no, you can stay. There is nothing that Peyton could tell that you can’t hear.
Peyton: (feeling a little awkward) Ok Brooke, we can do this the way you want it. My question is, can I go back to your place? Because, honestly, I’m sick of living in a hotel room…

[natybrucasbrazil]

Chapter 09 – Right or Wrong


Brooke: I need to know something, why did you leave in the first place? Because I do not remember asking you to leave, in fact, I don’t recall any conversation between us since that Saturday morning, two days after Lucas proposed to me…
Peyton: Well, I… Humm, I just thought that you would need more privacy…
Brooke: Peyton please…What’s going on?
Haley: Peyton, don’t you think you should just be honest about it all?? (staring at Peyton like questioning her)
Peyton: But I’m being honest, I wanted to give her some privacy… But a hotel room is not very home like… (feeling very uncomfortable and unsure)
Brooke: Ok, if you say so, it’s fine by me. You can go back whenever you want.
Peyton left to the studio with the sensation that Brooke knew more than what she showed. She tried to take it all out of her mind and just concentrate at her work. Haley and Brooke decided to go out for lunch, and Brooke was very curious about something that happened at the store.
Brooke: Haley, why did you ask Peyton to be honest??
Haley: Because we would certainly know that she was lying. But anyway, when is the wedding??
Brooke: I did not buy what you said, but… Well, the wedding will be next year, we still haven’t chose a date, why??
Haley: Because you either have to do that before or after you goddaughter pops out… Before would be ideal… (laughing)
Brooke: That’s true…Wait, did you just say goddaughter???

THE NIGHT BEFORE:

Haley: (on the phone) Hey honey, how long for you to finish practice??
Nathan: I don’t know, why?
Haley: Because we need to talk Nathan… And I can’t avoid it anymore!!
Nathan: Hales, what is the problem?? We are doing so well, I don’t get it.
Haley: Nathan, just come home, this is not something to talk over the phone. Please, don’t take long.
Nathan left the gym right after he hang up the phone. Jamie was curious about why they had to go home, and so was Nathan. He didn’t understand why she sounded mad… There was no nanny Carrie, he was working and doing pretty good with his basketball, they were happy.
Nathan: Haley, I did nothing wrong, what’s going on?
Haley: You two on the couch right now, and I don’t wanna here a word from either one of you. (in a very mad tone of voice).
Nathan and Jamie were as puzzled as they could be, Nate was afraid of what he would here…
Haley: From now on, it won’t be a man power anymore… Jamie, you’re gonna have a sister. Babe, we are having a girl!!! (laughing)
Nathan: Haley, you almost killed me, why couldn’t you just tell me?? I loved the news.
Jamie: Mama, a girl??? (disappointed)
Haley: Yes buddy, aren’t you happy?
Jamie: Yeah (low voice)… But she won’t want to play with me; she won’t like the same things…
Nathan: That’s not true; you can teach her to like what you like. And you will be a great brother.
Haley: Yes baby, she will love you.

AT THE RESTAURANT AND AT THE GYM

Haley: Yes I did… We are having a girl, I found out yesterday… I’m so happy.
Brooke: No, this is a dream… A girl… she will so love me.
Haley: Yeah… (rolling her eyes and laughing, like saying, this is so Brooke…)
At the gym Nathan was telling Lucas and Skills the news, they were very excited for Naley, and all of a sudden Lucas drops a bomb.
Lucas: I want to be a father.
Skills: What was that??? When??
Lucas: I said I want to be a father and the fastest the better.
Nathan: Luke, is that you?? What made you say that?
Lucas: Of course it’s me. You know that I want a family, I told you that the night we won the championship with the Cobras.
Nathan: Yeah, I knew that, but why now??? Don’t you think it’s early??

BACK AT THE RESTAURANT

Brooke: You say Yeah, but you will see, she will adore me, I know. But getting into a serious subject… I want to have a baby.
Haley: I know you do, how is the adoption process going?
Brooke: No Hales, I want to HAVE a baby.
Haley: Wow that was sudden. Why are you in a hurry?
Brooke: I’m not in a hurry, I want that since the day I went into business with Victoria 5 years ago, I just thought that I couldn’t do it.
Haley: And what changed it?

AT THE GYM:

Lucas: Because now I know where I wanna take my life, and I have someone that will go on the same road with me.
Skills: Men, are you sure? I mean good luck on that. I have to go dogs, I got some stuff to do. See ya.
Nathan/Lucas: See ya (shaking hands)
Lucas: But as I was saying, when Angie was here I saw that Brooke wants the same things that I do, we were so good at taking care of her, and Brooke surprised me on how good mom she will be…

RESTAURANT:

Brooke: Angie did. When she came I was so scared and confused, but she showed me that I’m capable and that I’ll be a good mom. Besides, I know that I’m not alone; I realized that Luke wants the same things that I do. He surprised me when he asked to be a part of our lives, he showed me that he really is here for the long hull, and he will be a great and very handsome father…
Haley/Nathan: Well, I hope it works out. It’s so good to see you that happy. I’m glad I can be part of it!
It’s been already two days since Peyton went to talk to Brooke, but she was still at a hotel room. She was afraid of what she would see or hear, and more so, of how she would react seeing them together all the time. Her head knew that she was wrong bur her heart couldn’t stop bleeding. She diced to draw again, she grabbed a pen and a sheet of paper and drew a first line, at that very moment someone knocked at her door.
Peyton: What are you doing here? How did you find me here?
Victoria: Well, in this half-dead town is not to hard to know were losers hide.
Peyton: Oh, great then…There is a room for you on the lowest level of the hotel. Enjoy! (trying to close the door)
Victoria: (rolling her eyes) Don’t be so cheap. I’m not here because I care; I’m here to make you a proposition.
Peyton: I did not hear it and I don’t care about what you have to say. Close the door when you leave.
Victoria: Well, you know I never approved your friendship with Brooke, but she is a no-brainer, what can I do?? But anyways, more than you, I can’t stand that boy she insists calling fiancé…
Peyton: Leave your daughter alone Bit…
Victoria: I’ll give you money to break them up, and the fastest the better.
Peyton: Are you crazy???
Victoria: You don’t fool anyone, everyone can see that you love him, and let’s face it; you two deserve each other, two losers. My daughter deserves better, and I know what is best. So, do we have a deal?? (Showing Peyton a check for U$ 50.000,00)
Later that same day, Brooke was sitting on her couch drawing some sketches for her “Baby Brooke” line; the news about Naley’s baby gave her some new ideas. The door bell rang, but she wasn’t waiting visitors, not even Lucas, they had talked earlier and he said that today he would be spending time with his mom. She taught that maybe it was Peyton.
Brooke: Come on in P. Sawyer, its open.
Lucas: I’m sorry to disappoint you, but it’s me…
Brooke: Hi… what a nice surprise. What are you doing here fiancé?
Lucas: Well, I missed you, I wanted to see you, and hug you, and kiss you…(walking towards here and kissing her neck).
Brooke: Lucas, I’m so lucky!! (looking very interested in Lucas).
He walked towards the couch, Brooke started throwing all her sketches on the floor, and they lied on the couch. Things were starting to get really frisky and very hot. They seemed to put all the efforts on that surprise romantic night, like unconsciously telling each other of their desires…Clothes were starting to get lost when the door swung open.
Peyton: Oh, I'm sorry; I knew I shouldn’t have come... I'll just leave, you guys carry on... (sounding upset and a little bit disappointed)
Brooke: No Peyton, its ok...We’ll go to the bedroom, right fiancé?
Lucas: Not so sure Brooke. (whispering on her ears)
Peyton: Ok..., have fun, I'll just close my ears.
Lucas: (still whispering) Brooke, I should go, I mean, there is no atmosphere, one more time we got stopped, but we’ll keep trying!! (winking)
Brooke: No Luke, stay please… (with those very needy eyes) We can just go to sleep.... Please Lucas, please, pretty please...
Lucas: Ok, besides, how can I resist these pretty green eyes of yours looking at me like that???
Peyton went into her bedroom as fast as she could. Sitting on her bed she was wondering and staring down, looking at a piece of paper. Has she done the right thing??

Chapter 10 – Open Doors to Disloyalty

FLASHBACK

Victoria: (rolling her eyes) Don’t be so cheap. I’m not here because I care; I’m here to make you a proposition.
Peyton: I did not hear it and I don’t care about what you have to say. Close the door when you leave.
Victoria: Well, you know I never approved your friendship with Brooke, but she is a no-brainer, what can I do?? But anyways, more than you, I can’t stand that boy she insists calling fiancé…
Peyton: Leave your daughter alone Bit…
Victoria: I’ll give you money to break them up, and the fastest the better.
Peyton: Are you crazy???
Victoria: You don’t fool anyone, everyone can see that you love him, and let’s face it; you two deserve each other, two losers. My daughter deserves better, and I know what is best. So, do we have a deal?? (Showing Peyton a check for U$ 50.000,00)
Peyton: Are you serious??
Victoria: I’m dead serious. I repeat to you everyone can see that you love him and you two deserve each other, two pathetic life forms together (laughs a bit).
Peyton: I can believe I’m hearing this.
Victoria: Come on, Peyton it’s a win - win situation for you and for me. You get the boy you love and fresh cash to invest in your music Label and I get my daughter to be available for the candidate she deserves and out of this godforsaken town. So, do we have a deal??
Peyton: Let me think about it (Peyton thinking to herself, after all it’s a good money and I get to have Lucas to myself, maybe I will accept).
Victoria: Come on, there is nothing to think about.
Peyton: Don’t rush me. I will think about it, and I’ll give you a call later.
Victoria: Ok, I’m expecting your call (leaving the check at the table). I’m gonna go now, bye Peyton.
Peyton: Bye, Victoria (grabbing the check and looking at it with loving eyes).

RAVENS GYM

Lucas is sitting watching Nathan practice with Q.
Lucas: Very good move you got there, little brother (the phone starts to ring and he answer it) Hello?!
Lindsay: Hi Lucas, it’s me Lindsay.
Lucas: Hi Lindsay, how are you?
Lindsay: I’m good, thank you, how is everything going down there?
Lucas: It’s going pretty good. And what about you and your work?
Lindsay: I’m doing well, thanks. My work is doing good too, and that’s why I’m calling you.
Lucas: Go ahead and tell me.
Lindsay: Well, I have good news and a bad news. What do you want to hear first?
Lucas: I wanna hear the good news first.
Lindsay: The good news is that your book is gonna be published on the first week of March, congratulations. And by the way, everyone who read it here in the company loved it, they said it’s your best book by far.
Lucas: (In an excited and happy tone of voice) Really they said that?. Thanks for the good news, but Linds what is the bad news?
Lindsay: Yep, they said it. The bad news is that you have to be on tour for a month at least, if not more.
Lucas: Starting when?
Lindsay: Starting the second week of March.
Lucas: Ok. Do I have to be alone in all of this?
Lindsay: No, I will be there with you all the way and if you like you can bring Brooke too.
Lucas: Ok. I’ll ask her, but I don’t know if she can come. Do you have the dates?
Lindsay: We don’t have all the dates yet but I’ll give you some.
Lucas: Ok. Hit me (he laughs a bit).
Lindsay: We have 4 already. First, March 14th in Dallas (Texas) at Barnes and Noble, on the 15th you will be promoting it on TV down in Austin, on the 18th we will be down in Florida, actually in Miami, a book sign at Brickerstone Library, and finally for now, on the 19th , we’ll go up to Nashville (Tennessee), and there you have another book sign and some TV shows to do.
Lucas: Ok, busy week, thanks Lindsay. I will see you there then. Thanks for calling.
Lindsay: You are welcome Lucas. Give my best to Brooke.
Lucas: I will. Bye Linds.
Nathan who was taking a break was approaching Lucas.
Nathan: Luke who were you talking to? Because that face of yours… I’m not even sure if I want to know, was it Brooke??? (he laughed).
Lucas: No, little brother. It was Lindsay.
Nathan: Should I be worry?
Lucas: Don’t be a fool Nate, and no, you have nothing to worry about. She wanted to let me know that my book is gonna hit the market the first week of March.
Nathan: That’s so cool Luke, Congratulations. (he goes to hug him)
Lucas: (returning the hug) Thanks Nate, but I have bad news too.
Nathan: What?
Lucas: I have to be out on tour for at least a month, if not more.
Nathan: And that is a problem why?
Lucas: Because I want to marry Brooke as soon as I can next year.
Nathan: Oh, I see your point (laughing a bit).
Lucas: Don’t laugh little brother, this is a serious issue. (laughing him a little bit).
Nathan: Lucas, (checking the hour on the wrist watch) I have to get home to take a shower and pick Haley to go to a check up for the pregnancy and if I’m late, you know how she gets.
Lucas: Yes, I know. You better go. Give Haley a kiss for me. (laughing a bit).

AT NIGHT IN BROOKE´S HOUSE

Brooke and Lucas were sitting on the couch, hugging each other and watching some TV. Lucas was giving her soft kisses on her temple and lips, until Brooke said.
Brooke: Hey Luke, Haley asked me and I think we should know it by now, when are we getting married?
Lucas: (laughing) I knew that question was coming. Next year for sure! (giving her a light kiss on the lips).
Brooke: But in what month of next year? Because I don’t want to marry in a cold weather, winter is completely out.
Lucas: Why is that?
Brooke: Because I have this awesome wedding gown planned in my head and is not for the winter. And also because I don’t want Haley poping our goddaughter while we say “I Do”.
Lucas: (laughing) Ok. You’re the fashion designer. And that about Haley, you’re right.
Brooke: How do you feel about March? It is a nice weather here and it’s autumn.
Lucas: Uhhh, I can’t on March, do you wanna know why?
Brooke: Sure, but know that if your answer is that you have another woman to marry you, you’re a dead man. (laughing).
Lucas: (laughing) No, you are the one for me Brooke Davis.
Brooke: Awwww, then why March won’t work for you?
Lucas: Well, it won’t work because I just found out today, thanks to Lindsay, that my book is gonna be publish in the first week of March.
Brooke: Fiancé that is some amazing news, Congratulations! But I still don’t see why we can’t get married. (kissing him on the lips)
Lucas: (returning the kiss) You didn’t let me finish.
Brooke: Carry on, handsome.
Lucas: We can’t get married because I’m gonna be on tour since the second week of March.
Brooke: Tour? Awwww (with sad face), for how long?
Lucas: Lindsay told me for about a month at least, if not more.
Brooke: Humm, I’m gonna miss you so much.
Lucas: I have the solution for that, Lindsey gave it to me.
Brooke: What is the solution?
Lucas: Bring you with me.
Brooke: I don’t know Fiancé, I can’t leave the company alone for that long but I will see what I can do.
Lucas: Ok and before I forget Lindsay said hi.
Brooke: Ohh, if you talk to her again say hi for me too.
Lucas: I will.
Brooke: So, now with your tour happening, when will we get married?? What month should we chose?
Lucas: I don’t know.
Brooke: Because as I said, I want to get married before our goddaughter pops out. (going to grab a calendar and returning to the couch).
Lucas: And what does Naley’s baby have to do with all of this? (laughing).
Brooke: Luke (looking at him with a duh face) I want Haley to be my maid of honour, remember?
Lucas: Yeah, and Nate is my best man, I got it now! (laughing)
Brooke: (looking at the calendar) How do you feel about May?
Lucas: May, it sounds good pretty girl. What day?
Brooke: How would you feel about the 21st? It will be a Saturday.
Lucas: It works for me. I don’t have anything to do that day… (laughing).
Brooke: Now you do, a very important thing, marrying me!! (giving him a kiss).
Lucas: (laughing and returning the kiss) Ok, I think I can do that, pretty girl. (winking).
Brooke: So, that’s it. We will get married on May 21st, spring. I like it!!!
Lucas: Me too. I have to get going.
Brooke: (with a sad face) You are not staying tonight, why?
Lucas: Well, you know that I love you, but I stayed here every night in the past week… I have to go back home… my mom won’t even remember me (laughing), plus I want to tell her and Andy about my book and about our wedding.
Brooke: (with a sad face) Oh well, that’s ok, I guess, but tomorrow I need to see you, because I’ll miss you tonight, very much!!
Lucas: I will miss you too, but before I go, I have something for you…(giving her the most passionate kiss ever see).

NEXT MORNING AT LUCAS´ HOUSE

When Lucas woke up, the house was so silent, just like it was empty. He made his way out of his bedroom and went into the kitchen and then saw a familiar face.
Lucas: Morning Andy, where is everyone?
Andy: Good morning Lucas. Your mom took Lilly to the park, they left like, 15minutes ago, you might be able to reach them if you run…
Lucas: No it’s ok. It’s actually really good that we are alone.
Andy: Is it?? Why?
Lucas: Yes, it is. Can we talk??

[natybrucasbrazil]

Chapter 11 – A Good day and A Even Better Night

Andy: Sure Luke. What is the problem??
Lucas: Well, me and Brooke, we can’t get it together…
Andy: Lucas, I can’t believe you broke up with her.
Lucas: No, that’s not the issue, we even decided on a date, we will say “I Do” on May 21st, and our problem is a little bit more complicated.
Andy: Well, I’m guessing you want some advice or help, but unless you tell me what’s going on, I can’t help you…
Lucas: I know, it’s just because it’s weird talking about that, especially because my mom started it in a way.
While Lucas was having the talk with Andy, Brooke was just waking up. She stretched and yawned, got all dressed up and went to make some coffee. She found Peyton in the kitchen.
Brooke: Good morning stranger… You seem so distant, are you ok?
Peyton: Morning Brooke. Yes I am, its just that my hair is been on fire with this 2 new bands, and handling Haley’s schedule with her pregnancy, and there was a weird situation with someone that I never thought would ask for my help…
Brooke: Wow that is a lot going on there. You know I’m here for you, right P. Sawyer? And who is this person??
Peyton: Yeah I know. It’s nobody worth knowing. So, how are things between you and Lucas?
Brooke: Things are actually great, thanks for asking. We are so happy, I love him so much!!! More than I could ever think.
Peyton: Great! (giving Brooke a unhappy smile). Are you guys doing it??
Brooke: Sorry??
Peyton: I mean, are you guys serious?? Are you sleeping together?
Brooke: We don’t have to sleep together to be serious, especially because we already fixed a date for our “I Do’s”… But answering you, no, we are not doing it, but we are definitely trying.
Nathan and Haley had just woke up, they were in bed talking about their kids. They had gone to the doctor the day before. Their little girl was growing healthy and very fast, they had seen her on a 4-D sonogram, the idea of seeing they baby girl as real as possible was too much for them, suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Jamie: Morning Daddy, morning Mama… Can I come in?
Haley: Sure buddy, aren’t you gonna say good morning to your sister?
Jamie: (putting his mouth on Haley’s bally) Good morning sister, how are you??
Nathan: She can hear you, but she cannot answer you yet…
Haley: Actually she just did, come her you two, feel this, she is moving for the first time…
Jamie: She likes me Mama… What is her name??
Nathan: That’s a good question Jamie… We still have no name for her, do you have an idea?
Jamie: in fact I do, do you wanna hear it?
Hales: Yes, we sure do! (Patting him over the head)
Jamie: Her name should be Anna Brooke Scott…
Nathan: Why Brooke??
Jamie: Well, Uncle Lucas is my godfather and I have his name, Aunt Brooke will be her godmother, so she should have her name…
Lucas was still struggling a bit to tell the real reason for that conversation. Between a sip of coffee and a bite of a slice of toast with jam, he let things escape.
Andy: What do you mean by “my mom started it”?
Lucas: Don’t you remember the night of the boat, when Lilly felt sick? (Andy nodded positively while Luke had a sip). So, she caught me and Brooke…
Andy: Yes, she told me about that… weird hum??
Lucas: Very, more than necessary.
Andy: Ok, but I still can’t help you.
Lucas: Well, since that day we are trying to “do it”, if you know what I mean, but something always stop us. I want to know what to do… How can I stop the world and have some time with my girl?
Andy: You’re lucky; I might be able to help you with that!! I do have a boat, do you know that?? (a smile lightened up on Lucas’ face).
Brooke was enjoying talking with Peyton, even if was a little bit weird telling her about intimacies with Lucas. Is not that they had never done that, is just that this time Brooke felt that something was different…Maybe she was presenting what was about to come…
Peyton: Wow, Lucas not being able to “do it”… Have you giving any thought about that?? Maybe he is not that into you…
Brooke: Peyton, ok, that was weird… I just told you that we fixed a date for our wedding, where is this coming from?
Peyton: From nowhere, is just that, when we were together, nothing stopped us you know, nothing could stop him! (talking on a very careless tone of voice, like it was very natural).
Brooke: Never do that again. You and Lucas are not a WE for a long time. Why do you always say stuff like that when I’m happy?? This is just like senior year. I gotta go.
Peyton: No Brooke, I’m sorry!!!
Brooke: Yeah, me too. I gotta go. (leaving with a very worried expression)
Brooke was so uncomfortable with what had just happened. Could Peyton be right? Should she ask Lucas? What if he didn’t like her lack of trust on him? What if he got upset? She didn’t want to lose it over an IF… She went to the store and for at least a couple of hours she forgot about that talk. But when she could not stop thinking about it, she called the only person who could help her.
Nathan and Haley set on the bed and stared at each other. Their looks were of surprise.
Haley: Wow, Jamie, that was sudden. I really didn’t see this coming.
Nathan: Yeah buddy, you really thought about that one didn’t you?
Jamie: Not really, I just came up with it, it’s just fair…
Haley: Well, we promise that we will consider your idea. Now, go get dressed and we are goanna have a special breakfast.
When Jamie left, Nate and Haley were getting dressed and started talking about Jamie’s suggestion.
Nathan: Haley, you know, I like his idea, it is fair and it is pretty.
Haley: Yeah, I think so too. I’m just impressed with Jamie’s explanation.
Nathan: Well, he is smart. There is no other way to say it.
Haley: Yeah, he get’s that from me. (giving Nathan a big kiss on the lips). Come on, let’s go, I’m, or should I say, we are hungry.
At the kitchen Haley grabbed her pursed and pulled 2 sonogram’s pictures out of it.
Haley: So, how are you liking my special waffles with strawberry/banana smoothie?? Pretty good hum??
Jamie: It’s great mama, thanks.
Nathan: What are you gonna do with these pictures?
Haley: Well, one will be here, on our refrigerator, right next to Jamie’s and the other one will go to her godmother, since they will have the same name… (Smiling and writing the baby’s name on both pictures).
When Haley posted one picture next to Jamie’s, her house phone rang, it was Brooke.
Haley: Hi Brooke, good morning, we were just talking about you.
Brooke: Hi, I need you here at the store Hales, it’s very important. How soon can you be here?
Haley: What happened?? I can right now, it will take me 10 minutes, but I’ll be right there, Are you ok?
Brooke: Just get here as soon as you can. Bye.
Haley hang up the phone with a confused face, she knew Brooke wasn’t ok, but why??
Nathan: What’s going on?
Haley: I don’t know, Brooke just said that she needs me at the store. Can you stay with Jamie?
Nathan: Sure. I hope everything is fine. Oh Hales, don’t forget her picture…
Haley: The picture, right, thanks. Bye, see you guys later.
Lucas was very happy about the boat, he just didn’t know why…
Lucas: Yes, I do know about the boat, but why is that of any help??
Andy: Lucas, Lucas… With the boat, you can sail away, no one can get to you… just the two of you, under the moon light…
Lucas: You are a genius. Can I use it tonight??
Andy: Yes you can. But give her some romance first, ok? And I’ll make sure your mom stays home all night. (winking and smiling at him).
Lucas: Thanks, for both things.
Lucas left his cup of coffee on the table and went of to set the boat for this special night. He bought flowers, white and purple Lilies, almost a hundred of them, he got some vanilla sent candles and chose a grilled salmon with olive oil and garlic past (of course made by Karen, just because he asked very nicely and because she wanted to make up for the incident.).
While Luke was running against time to prepare a great and magic night for them, Brooke was still thinking about what Peyton had said, when she looked at the door, there was Haley.
Brooke: Thank god. (Giving her a tide hug). Let’s go talk on the back of the store. Hey Mille, is it ok if I leave you here alone for a while?
Mille: Sure, no problem. And you have been out of here for a long time. If I need you, I’ll scream.
Brooke: Thanks, I don’t know what I would do without you.
Haley: Brooke, what is going on?
Brooke: You won’t believe. Peyton told me some things this morning, and it all come back…
Haley: Calm down, what are you talking about, what did she tell you?
Brooke: Well, I woke up and met her in the kitchen, we started talking like we used to, before Luke proposed to me. And she started asking about me and Lucas, if we were “doing it”, and how he never let anything stop him when they were together…
Haley: And this affects you how??
Brooke: Hales, Lucas and I can not “do it”, we are trying but something always stop us. She said that maybe he is not that into me.
Hales: Brooke, I really don’t see Peyton doing it on purpose, but do you really think that this ring and all of the things that you guys have means nothing?
Brooke: I know, I should not be worried, but it’s stronger than I am. I can’t avoid being afraid.
Haley: Look, all I can tell you is that, that man is crazy about you, that he chose you… Speaking of choosing, I have a picture for you.
Brooke: Hales, please, I’m not in the mood for pictures.
Haley: Oh, but you’re gonna like this one, it’s very special. (she handles it to Brooke). Pay attention to the subtitle. (giving her a sweet smile).
Brooke: Oh My God, it’s my goddaughter, and she has my name. Haley, I’m speechless…
Haley: It was Jamie’s idea, since he has Uncle Lucas’ name, he thought it would be fair for his little sister to have her godmother’s name. Nate and I thought it was perfect. Did you like it?
Brooke: I love it!! She will be very loved, and successful and very smart.
Haley: I know. Now you should be smart, get these ideas out of your head, and go spend some time with your fiancé. I’m sure he is thinking about you.
At this very moment Lucas enters the room. He looks at his two girls (soon to be three) and smiles. They looked so happy. Brooke jumped out of the couch to give him a kiss and a hug, and of course to share the news.
Brooke: Hi my love. Look at the picture of our goddaughter… Pretty cool hum?
Lucas: That’s awesome. Hales, you know how to surprise people. By the way, did Brooke tell about the wedding date?
Haley: No, she did not…
Lucas: Well, it will be on May 21st, I hope Anna Brooke will wait until then!
Haley: Yeah, she will, she is do on the first week of June. Well, I’m gonna go and spend time with my boys, and put my feet up in the air. See you all later. And Brooke, just remember, you’re the one.
Brooke/Lucas: By Hales!! Thanks again.
Brooke: So, what brings you here today?
Lucas: Well, I missed you tonight, and I wanted to see you, and talk to you…
Brooke: So was I, I missed you too, my bed was so big without you… Can we spend tonight together in my house?
Lucas: Well, I think that will be impossible today.
Brooke: I knew it, maybe Peyton is right…
Lucas: Well, if she is a fortune teller and told you that tonight we are gonna sail away in Andy’s boat then yes, she is right.
Brooke: What??
Lucas: That’s right. Tonight I’m kidnapping you to a very special evening under the moon light and out on the big sea. I’ll stop by at 5:30, is that good for you?
Brooke: I guess so; Mille can close the store for me. But what are we gonna do there?
Lucas: Don’t worry about that, it’s all being taking care of. You just pack a small bag with some clothes, bathing suit and whatever more you want, and get ready for a weekend getaway on the NC Sea.
Brooke: Luke, you’re crazy, but I love you anyway. I’ll be ready by 5:30. Don’t be late… (she gives him a big hug, a passionate kiss and grabs his hand).
They were walking to the front of the store holding hands; Brooke was very happy, skipping like a child.
Brooke: Millie, you will close the store today. Lucas will kidnap me at 5:30, absolutely not my fault. (winking at him)
Lucas: And I’m sorry to tell you but tomorrow, you will be by your self again…
Millie: Well, I guess it’s fine. I can work it out.
Brooke: (giving her a kiss on the cheek) Millie you’re the best!!
Lucas was right on time, as always. He grabbed her bag and they walked to the boat. He took her to the top of the boat and they sailed away. They watched the sunset on each others arms. Cuddling and kissing and just enjoying themselves.
When the sun was out and the moon showed up, Lucas, who had left Brooke up there enjoying the stars, warmed up they “mom” made dinner, set the table with 2 of the 20 candles he bought and 12 of the hundred flowers he had throughout the inside of the boat.
Lucas: Hey Brooke, would you come down for a second? I need to show you something.
Brooke: No, you come up, it’s so good here. Come look at the moon with me.
Lucas: No, I need you here, please, you won’t regret.
When she was stepping on the floor on the back of the boat, her eyes filled with tears, it was the most romantic gesture he had done to her, and the most beautiful one.
Brooke: Luke, that’s so amazing. Thank you so much.
Lucas: I’m glad you liked. But just be aware that this night does not stop here, there is still lots of places to go.
Brooke: Lucas, this weekend is so gonna pay off for you…

Chapter 12 – Under the Moon Light and the Stars

AT NALEY´S HOUSE

Haley was back from C/B. Her house was so safe and loving, she felt so good, especially because everything seemed to be fine between Lucas and Brooke. When she opened the door, she found Nathan lying on the couch watching Sport Center.
Haley: (entering the living room) Hey Nathan, I’m back.
Nathan: Ok. What did Brooke want?
Haley: Where is Jamie?
Nathan: He is upstairs playing with his toys and with Chester. So what happened to Brooke?
Haley: Good, he loves Chester. Let me just get comfy here, next to you…I need to put my feet up, Anna is making me so tired. If you rub my feet, maybe I’ll let you know… (Looking at him with a smile).
Nathan: Ok, I’ll rub it, but just because I’m dying to know. (smiling)
Haley: (sitting next to him on the couch) How do I start?
Nathan: Is that serious? Because if you don’t know where to start… Quit fooling around and spill the bean lady, or I’ll stop the massage. (laughing a bit).
Haley: Well, the thing is that Brooke woke up this morning and found Peyton in the kitchen.
Nathan: And?
Haley: They began to talk and Peyton asked her how were things with Lucas…
Nathan: Keep going.
Haley: Brooke told her that they were better then never and Peyton asked about their sexual life.
Nathan: Wow, a little to interested, but…..continue.
Haley: She told her that they didn’t “do it” yet because something always seems to stop them and Peyton, who should be quiet, had no better idea then to tell Brooke that, when they were together, they couldn’t keep their hands off each other, that Lucas never let anything stop him. And to finish it all, Peyton also told Brooke that maybe Lucas wasn’t that much into her.
Nathan: No way, Peyton did not do this… You are kidding me.
Haley: No, I’m not.
Nathan: So what happened then?
Haley: Brooke left the house angry with Peyton and very confused and insecure.
Nathan: She has a right to be angry, I know I would.
Haley: But that is not all, she totally freaked out and was actually taking for real what Peyton said.
Nathan: What’s wrong with Peyton? (With a little mad face on)
Haley: Nothing, I think she had the best of intentions, like looking out for Brooke, but you know with all that drama and history between those three, anything could be misread.
Nathan: What did you do to calm her down?
Haley: I talked to her; I remembered her about all that Lucas has done so far to show his love for her and I finished telling her that Luke was crazy about her, and that ultimately, he chose her. I said that she should be smart and not let those commentaries bug her.
Nathan: Very good work, Hales, that’s why I love you. Changing the subject a bit, did you give her the pic of her goddaughter Anna Brooke? (Laughing a bit).
Haley: Yes, I did and she loved it. She was so honoured by the name choice and she said she will be pretty like her godmother and smart too. (laughing a bit).
Nathan: Ohhhh man, I would have to buy a gun (laughing a bit).
Haley: Why, what would you do with a gun?
Nathan: Well, because if she turns out to be half as beautiful as Brooke is, I’ll need that gun to keep all those nasty teenagers away from my daughter. (laughing).
Haley: (laughing) Nathan Royal Scott, don’t you dare do that, and what about she being as pretty as I am??
Nathan: Well, being as beautiful as you and Brooke, I’ll need two guns… just kidding! (laughing). I’ll stop now, let’s just watch TV and enjoy our time alone, because as soon as your son comes downstairs, the peace time is over (laughing a bit).
Haley: Yes, you are right. (laughing a bit too and giving him a kiss).

AT KAREN´S HOUSE

Karen was leaving the bedroom after taking a long relaxing bath. She drove herself to the living room where Andy was watching the news and Lilly was playing with her toys on the floor.
Karen: Is Lucas back from practice?
Andy: No he is not home and I don’t think he will be home for the whole weekend… (laughing a bit, knowing what Lucas would be doing).
Karen: Where is he going and what are you laughing about? (Looking at him with a serious face).
Andy: Nothing, Karen. Where is he going I don’t know (laughing a bit), all I can say is that I loan him my boat for the weekend.
Karen: Ahhhh, that’s why he asked me to fix that special dinner dish… (laughing too and knowing who will be Lucas’ company in that boat).

BACK IN THE BOAT

Brooke: Lucas, this weekend is so gonna pay off for you… (Kissing him lightly on the lips)
Lucas: (returning the kiss) That is so good news for me! (laughing a bit). Let’s just eat ok, pretty girl.
Brooke: Luke, this table, the boat, that sky, everything looks so beautiful and perfect… And this dish looks so yummy, what is it?
Lucas: Thanks, I wanted everything to be great tonight, and so far so good. And this is a grilled salmon with olive oil and garlic pasta.
Brooke: Did you cook this?
Lucas: No, my mom did, she owned me a favour…
Brooke: I’m sure it’s good. Let’s eat!
Dinner went smoothly and with all that romantic atmosphere, all they could do was look at each other with enchantment in their eyes, and hold hands. In their eyes was possible to see the pure love they had for each other and also hint of desire building up. When they were done with dinner, Brooke said…
Brooke: Fiancé you do the dishes, I’ll dry them and put them away. (laughing a bit).
Lucas: The dishes can wait. Did you enjoy your dinner?
Brooke: Yes, I enjoyed it very much so. Why can the dishes wait, do you have something else planned?
Lucas: Yes, in fact I do have another surprise for you.
Brooke: Yay! What is it Lucas?
Lucas: If I told you, it wouldn’t be a surprise anymore… (getting up from the table to go look for something to blindfold Brooke).
Brooke: Aha!!!! You have that look and attitude… (laughing a bit). What are you doing?
Lucas: I’m looking for something.
Brooke: What for?
Lucas: Ok. I found it! (showing the blindfold).
Brooke: What do you need that for?
Lucas: Well, I need to finish something for your next surprise, and you can’t look. No picking either!!! (very serious now)
Brooke: Yes Sir!! (smiling a bit) You are a very mysterious man today.
Lucas: (putting the blindfold over Brooke’s eyes) Do you see anything Brooke?
Brooke: No.
Lucas: Ok. Listen to me very carefully and do what I tell you. Stay right here and don’t move until I come and give you a kiss ok?
Brooke: Ok, Lucas. Please don’t take long, you know how curious I am.
Lucas went inside the boat and came back out with his arms filled with those white and purple Lilies, and he also had a white blanket. He walked to the front of the boat and carefully set the flowers down. Delicately he put the blanket on the floor, making sure that it was very well stretched, occupying the entire floor.
Then he spread the flowers all over the floor, and shaped a heart around the edges of the blanket. He used 60 flowers to be exact, and took the precaution to leave the blanket clean, so they could sit on it later.
He went back to grab the last thing remaining and he said…
Lucas: Pretty girl, I’m almost done, I need you to wait just a little bit more ok?
Brooke: Ok, but hurry up Luke, because I miss you already, and I’m very curious.
The last thing to do was to spread all over the floor, very carefully, a set of 12 vanilla sent candles that he personally took care of lightning. When that task was completed, it was time to go get Brooke.
Lucas: Hey Brooke, (giving her a kiss) I’m here to pick up for your surprise.
Brooke: (with a happy tone) Yayy!!!! Can I take this blindfold from my eyes now?
Lucas: That blindfold has to stay there a little bit longer, pretty girl.
Brooke: But how am I supposed to walk with this?
Lucas: I’ll lead you! Just come with me. (grabbing Brooke by the hand and leading her to the front of the boat)
Brooke: Where are you taking me?
Lucas: You will see. Just wait.
Brooke: Ok. I hope it’s worth it!
Lucas: (reaching the top of the boat) It will be. Ok, this is our stop. I will take the blindfold off ok, but before I do, I just want to say one thing, let the magic begin!!! (removing Brooke blindfold).
Brooke: (with an ecstatic/surprise and an “I can’t believe this” face) Woowwwww this is wonderful Luke, you did all of this for me.
Lucas: It’s all for you, my very special pretty girl.
Brooke: (with tears in her eyes) Oh my God!!! Fiancé thank you, I love you so much! (giving him the most passionate kiss)
Lucas: (returning the kiss) I love too, very much!
Brooke: And how do you wanna use all this production for? (Looking at him with a naughty look).
Lucas: Well I was planning on sitting inside the heart and look at the stars...(pointing to the blanket on the floor).
Brooke: (with a little sad face) Nothing more?
Lucas: Well, maybe more, or should I say much more?? But you know, it will all depend… Will my pretty girl allow it?? (laughing a bit, looking her in the eyes and putting her bang aside ).
Brooke: Fiancé, trust me, today you have green light for everything, especially after this wonderful scenario. (laughing a bit too and kissing him softly on the lips).
Lucas: So let’s start by sitting here and watching the stars and the moon…(looking at her with a naughty look)
Brooke: (looking at him the same way) I love this plan.

Lucas lay on his back; Brooke laid her head on Lucas’ chest and looked at the stars, they stayed like that, cuddling for a very long time, until Brooke said…..
Brooke: It’s a very beautiful night right Fiancé?
Lucas: Yes pretty girl, it’s the most beautiful night I have ever see in a long time.
Suddenly they felt the need to start kissing, like something was pulling them together. They started softly and quietly. Some light kisses were exchanged, without talking or planning, the kisses became deeper, more meaningful ones, their hand running through their bodies. Soon, Lucas was on top of Brooke’s body. Their clothes started to leave their bodies; the only thing separating and preventing them of being ONE, was only their skins.
Lucas continued to kiss Brooke in the most passionate way and touring her body not only with his bare hands but with his lips too; which only put Brooke hornier and turned on. She was doing exactly the same with Lucas, and his reaction was just what she expected.
Lucas pulled out the last piece of clothes. As soon as this happened a question was asked:
Lucas: (whispering into her ear) Are you sure about this?
Brooke: (whispering to her ear too) I’m more sure than you will ever know.
As soon as the sound of these words were lost in the night, Lucas slowly and in the most caring way started his way into Brooke’s body. You could hear the sounds of moaning and pleasure coming from Brooke and Lucas. The pleasure and satisfaction were visible. They were really making love. This heated action went on all night long, in between hugs and cuddles.
They were still sitting together on the front of the boat, and they were surprised by the beautiful sunrise, it felt like the sun was brighter, and the water was bluer, everything was better. They were still naked, wrapped up in a blanket, hugging and absorbing the quiet and the love brought by this new day.
Lucas: (giving her a neck kiss) Good morning, pretty girl.
Brooke: (moaning) Good morning, Fiancé.
Lucas: Did you enjoy last night?
Brooke: Last night was the most amazing night ever; everything was perfect, thank you! (turning around to kiss him). Did you enjoy it?
Lucas: (returning the kiss) Yes, I enjoyed it very much. I felt like I was in heaven and I’m a sex god so what can I do about that? (Laughing a bit).
Brooke: (laughing a bit too) You can definitely say that, and I felt the exact same way, Luke. It was really good making love with you, feel that connection.
Lucas was so happy, everything he wanted in life was right there with him.
Lucas: (whispering on her ear) You are my everything…. This view and my life would be nothing without you here at this moment. Thanks for loving and believing in me again, and thanks for letting me love you.
At this moment Brooke had tears in her eyes, she only turned around to kiss him and cuddled in between his arms. They both laid down and looked inside each others eyes.
This was the most perfect weekend and it was far from being over.

AT PEYTON´S RECORD LABEL (the next day)

Peyton was in the record booth, listening to her newest addition to the label when the secretary enters.
Jessica (secretary): Miss. Sawyer, Haley James Scott is here to see you.
Peyton: Ok, send her to my office. I’ll be right there. Thanks Jessica.
Jessica: Ok. You are welcome Miss Sawyer. (leaving the room).
Peyton: (opening the sound to the recording booth) Guys, take half an hour ok.
Band Guys: Ok, Peyton.
Peyton enters her office to find Haley sitting in a chair. She looked a little bit tired.
Peyton: Hi Haley (giving her a kiss and going to seat in her chair), what are you doing here? You are not scheduled to come in today. And you should be resting.
Haley: (returning the kiss) Yes I know that. I came because I think we need to talk.
Peyton: Ok, about what?
Haley: You know Peyton, about Brooke.
Peyton: What about her?
Haley: Brooke told me about your little chat the other day.
Peyton: What about that?
Haley: Peyton, are you insane? I’m not recognizing you anymore. What were you thinking telling Brooke that maybe Lucas wasn’t that much into her?
Peyton: Ahhh, you’re talking about that part.
Haley: (With an angry face) Yes that part, and all the others.
Peyton: Hales, I wasn’t thinking of anything in particular. I was having the best intentions with that remark, you know that right? But why are you asking?
Haley: Because Brooke totally freaked out with the commentary, she was in a really bad shape, thinking that she does not deserve him.
Peyton: Really? (Feeling a little bit happy with that commentary).
Haley: Yep, really. Aren’t you sad for her? This is not fair Peyton.
Peyton: You know I had the best of intentions, I was looking out for her, but if she has something to worry about….
At that moment Peyton’s cell started ringing, and Haley was able do see the caller ID…
Peyton: Sorry Haley, I have to get that. (Peyton goes to answer the call with a sense of urgency). Hello?
Victoria: Hi Peyton, it’s me Victoria.
Peyton: Why are you calling me during the day? And how did you get my cell number?
Victoria: How do you think?? In this godforsaken town, you can get anything with money.
Peyton: What do you want?
Victoria: I want an answer to my proposal.
Peyton: I can’t talk about that right now. I said before, and I’ll say it again, I’ll call you when I have an answer.
Victoria: Ok, just remember, the fast you give me your answer the better, for me and for you.
Peyton: I said that I will call you as soon as I know. Now leave me alone. Bye. (with a louder tone of voice)
Victoria: Bye Peyton.
Peyton: Sorry Haley. You were telling me about….
Haley: Who just called you?
Peyton: No one that you should know about… (with a weird face)
Haley: Peyton, I saw the last name… What are you doing?

Chapter 13 – Second Honey Moon and First Family Time

AT THE BOAT

Lucas: Can you reach my shorts for me??
Brooke: Not unless you tell me where you’re going… (Kissing him)
Lucas: I have one more thing to do, after that, I promise, no more surprises, and I’ll be all yours!
Brooke: Well, you convinced me… Here you go.
While Lucas was gone, Brooke put on her dress and stretched, enjoying that cool breeze and the sound of the water. When she turned around she saw Lucas coming with a huge tray filled with fruits (grape, mango, strawberry, banana and cantaloupe), croissants, jam and milk, and some more flowers.
Brooke: How many flowers did you buy??
Lucas: Well, something around a hundred, but you deserve it.
Brooke: That tray looks so good!! Will you seat here and join me??
Lucas: Sure, I might even feed you… (Putting a grape in her mouth… they both laughed).

AT RED BEDROOM RECORD LABEL

Haley: So, will I have an answer or you are just gonna stand there and pretend that this didn’t happen?
Peyton: Hales, you’re overreacting. It was Brooke, nothing to worry about.
Haley: Peyton, it was not Brooke and you know it. It was her mother… But what is she calling you for?
Peyton: She wanted to know about Brooke, that’s all. Now please, go home and rest, I don’t want you to get stressed…
Haley: Look Peyton, I like you very much, but whatever it is that you’re doing, just know that I will not help you. I’ll be by Brooke’s side at all times, even if this cost our friendship…
Peyton: Haley, you don’t have reasons to be mad, please, believe me.
Haley: It’s getting harder and harder everyday. I know you’re lying, and it hurts me that you don’t trust me to tell me the truth. (Visibly sad)
Peyton: Hales, I’m sorry, but if I told you, things would be much worse, you probably wouldn’t understand and I prefer not to involve you in all of this. Just trust me ok, I assure you that I’m doing it for Brooke’s sake. Please, believe me!?! (Sounding sincere).
Haley left, unsure of her feelings about that entire Peyton dilemma. She wanted to trust her friend, but the question was, knowing that Peyton was upset about Brucas engagement, could she trust her?
Peyton was thinking about her dilemma as well. She had an answer to give Victoria, and as tempting as the proposition was, she was not sure that she would get the boy, actually she was more certain that she would loose her friends. What would her head do with what her heart wanted??

AT NATHAN AND HALEY’S HOUSE

Nathan: Jamie, I’m sorry buddy, but breakfast today will be cereal and milk; I don’t know where your mom went…
Haley: Did I hear someone talking about me??
Jamie: Yay, mama is here, can we have pancakes with happy faces then??
Haley: Morning son (giving Jamie a kiss on his forehead). Morning babe (kissing Nate on the lips). Of course we can, but Daddy will cook today. (Winking at Jamie).
Nathan: Are you sure, you know that not even my boiling water is good… (they all laughed).
Haley: Yes, I’m sure, I’ll guide you.
There was pancake mix all over the counter, that was one of the funniest and delicious breakfasts that Jamie had. They all enjoyed making and cleaning up all the mess. Haley even sang some good tunes while doing the dishes.
Jamie looked outside and said:
Jamie: Mama, it’s so nice out there, can we go swimming?
Haley: Sure son. Let’s just wait a little bit for our body absorb our breakfast. You can go on and put your bathing suit thou.
Jamie: Thanks mama.
Haley: You’re welcome baby. Daddy and I will be in our bedroom getting ready as well, ok?
Jamie: Ok (screaming from the hallway).
Haley went over to Nathan and hugged him, going for a kiss. Nate grabbed the back of her neck, twisted her and gave one of those big screen kisses… and carried her to the bedroom.
Nathan: Boy, you’re heavy. Anna Brooke Scott, you’re sure gonna be a big girl! (kissing Haley’s bally).
Haley: Ok, you can put me down now.
Nathan put her down on the bad and made a move of climbing over her. Haley stopped him, saying that Jamie might come in.
Nathan: You know what; we gotta find a way to have some time alone before this little one comes around.
Haley: Yeah, we do… I sure would like that. (kissing him and going to get her bathing suit.)

BACK AT THE BOAT

Brooke: This breakfast was really good, but I gotta say, the company makes it so much better!!! (Kissing Luke’s neck and lips).
Lucas: I’m gonna have to agree with you Pretty Girl.
He moved the tray to a safe place, far away from both of them, stood up and reached for Brooke’s hands. She held his hands and stood up too. Lucas had a little remote control on his hands, it was on the tray. He pushed play and a very calm and romantic song called “From This Moment”, began to play. He put his hand around her waist and started dancing.
Brooke: For the one who said that there were no more surprises…
Lucas: I know, but this one is keeping me really close to you, isn’t it good? (kissing her).
Brooke: Yes it is, and this kiss was even better. How do you know that I like this song??
Lucas: Well, I did some research. In a certain letter, number 41 if I’m not wrong, you mentioned that you were listening to it, and that this song made you think of us…
Brooke: That’s why I love you!!
They danced cheek to cheek until the song was over. Just then Brooke felt Lucas’ hands trying to undress her, and she heard a soft whisper in her ears…

BACK AT NALYE’S HOUSE

Jamie: Hey Daddy and Mama, can we go now??
Nathan: Sure buddy, your mom is finishing getting ready, but we can go outside. Hales??
Haley: Yeah…
Nathan: I’ll be at the pool with Jamie, will be waiting for you there.
Haley: Ok, I’ll be out in 10 minutes. There is some sun screen on top of the counter, next to the phone. Make sure you cover him up with it.
Nathan: Ok.
Jamie: Daddy, I don’t like it… Do we really have to put it on?
Nathan: Yes Jamie, there is no fooling your mom about it.
Jamie and Nathan were already inside the pool when Haley came out. She was wearing a very pretty flower pattern bathing suit. She got into the water and started playing with Jamie. They were simply having fun.

AT THE RECORD LABEL

Peyton was thinking about calling Victoria, she had made a decision and couldn’t wait to let her know. She grabbed the phone and started dialling when someone entered the room.
Mia: Hi Peyton… when can I started recording my second album??
Peyton: Mia, come here, give me a hug. It’s so good to see you!! How are you?
Mia: I’m great. The tour these past few months have been great, and the “Starburst Summer Tour” at Six Flags was awesome.
Peyton: Oh, I’m so happy to hear that, and I’m so happy for you!! But tell me more, tell me everything…
AT THE BOAT

Lucas: I think we should go for a skinny-dip…(whispering in her ears and giving her a kiss on the neck.)
Brooke: You’re so naughty and so right!!
They took of their clothes, walked to the back of the boat, and jumped in the water.
Brooke: Luke, this weekend was the best idea you could have had.
Lucas: Well, actually, it was Andy’s, I just upgraded it. But I’m so glad I had “the talk” with him.
Brooke: So, are we gonna swim or what? I bet you can catch me in the water… (she goes of swimming free style).
Lucas: Oh yes I can, just wait for it!!!
When Lucas got a hold of her, their naked bodies touched and their eyes locked in the same direction. They had nothing else to do besides kissing. They were feeling free and full of love. Their desire was getting stronger and stronger. Without thinking, Lucas had made his way into Brooke’s Body.
She was glowing with pleasure. They were both taken by their love. There was nothing, not even the fact that they still had to be moving, that could cut off their enthusiasm. They made their way to the back of the boat, and Lucas placed Brooke on top of the diving board, very carefully. He laid over her again, and it was like they never stopped.
The weekend went by very fast, but they sure enjoyed each other very much. They cleaned up the boat and Lucas took Brooke home.
Brooke: Will you stay please??
Lucas: Well, since you’re asking so nicely… (taking her bangs from her eyes).
They made their way into the living room. Luke took all the dishes to the kitchen and Brooke followed him.
Brooke: Great (kissing him)… I love sleeping with you, even when we actually sleep.
Lucas: Me too pretty girl, me too.
Peyton was in her bedroom and could hear their conversation. Right at that time she grabbed her cell phone and started dialing Victoria’s number.
Peyton: Hello
Victoria: Oh, it’s you. So, what will be your answer??
Not paying much attention to what Victoria was saying, Peyton was actually with her mind in the kitchen…
Peyton: Sorry, what did you just say?
Victoria: I’m assuming you have my answer, am I right?
Peyton: Yes.
Back in the kitchen, the dishes were all done. Luke was cleaning up the counter tops and putting his mom’s dishes into a bag. And he looked at Brooke, who was staring at him with this big smile on her face.
Lucas: Why are you looking at me like this?
Brooke: Nothing, just thinking how lucky I am to have you. And how lucky our kids will be.
Lucas: Well, they will be twice as lucky, because their mom rocks. (they hug).
Peyton was almost hanging up the phone when Victoria asked her one more thing.
Victoria: So, this is your answer?
Peyton: Yes, this is my answer.
Victoria: Are you sure? Because as you know, there will be no turning back…
Peyton: Yes I know.
Victoria: Ok, enjoy you mediocre life.
Peyton: Thanks.

A FEW DAYS LATER

Nathan received a call from his agent calling him for a meeting in New York during the weekend. He said that there would be scouts from four different NBA teams and he wanted them to meet Nate.
Nathan: Hales, are you home?? Haley, where are you? (Yelling down the hallway)
Haley: I’m taking a bath…
Nathan: Hey, a bubble bath, how nice…
Haley: Well, I deserve it. (giving him a kiss) So, why were you yelling?
Nathan: I have to go to New York on Friday, and stay through the weekend.
Haley: Why??
Nathan: My agent just called, he will be with four NBA scouts and he wants them to meet me. (Excited voice).
Haley: That’s great Nate… But I can’t stay all this days alone with Jamie, I just don’t know if I’ll be able to…
Nate: No worries, you’re coming with me, this will be our alone time, what do you say??
Haley: It sounds good, but again, what about Jamie??
Nathan: Why do we have Lucas and Brooke as his godparents?? (winking and kissing her).
Haley: You’re right. NY, here we come. I’ll call Brooke later today. I’ll be out in just a few minutes.
On Thursday evening Brooke and Lucas went to Naley’s house. They had dinner and set on the living room to chat a little bit. Haley enjoyed the opportunity to give Brooke some instructions about Jamie. It was all set up, Brooke would pick Jamie at school on Friday, and she and Lucas would stay at Naley’s home for the weekend, just so Jamie could be more comfortable.

FRIDAY AFTERNOON

Lucas is at the Ravens gym with skills and the boys. He looks at his watch and it’s already 2:45 pm.
Lucas: Hey Skills, is it ok if you go on without me for the rest of the practice?
Skills: Sure man. Can I ask why?
Lucas: Sure, it’s because Brooke has a conference call with the NY office and she won’t be able to pick Jamie up, so I’ll have to go.
Skills: Sure dog. Give the little man a “hi” for me. And don’t worry, I wont be soft with the team.
Lucas: Thanks Skills. Se you guys on Monday. No going crazy during the weekend.
Team: Yes coach.
Brooke was on the phone but her eyes couldn’t leave the clock on the wall.
Brooke: Brooke here. I think that this proposition for the January issue of the magazine will work very well.
Editor: Thanks Brooke. So, I guess we are done for now.
Brooke: Yes, and I have to go pick my godson at school. But I really appreciate your ideas. Send me an e-mail with the doll, will you?
Editor: I’ll do it tonight or tomorrow, the latest.
Brooke: Thanks. Have a nice evening. (hanging up and calling Lucas) Hello?
Lucas: Hi Brooke, I thought you were in a conference call…
Brooke: It was faster than what I thought. I’ll be able to pick up Jamie; you can stay at the practice if you want.
Lucas: Well, to bad, I just left. But I’ll tell you what, I’ll pass by the store and we can go together.
Brooke: Great. I’ll be waiting. We can go in my car, since his car seat is there.
Lucas: Ok, I’m getting out of the school parking lot right now, I’ll be there in 10 minutes, be ready.
Brooke: Ok, love you. (Hanging up). Hey Millie…
Millie: Yes Brooke…
Brooke: I’m leaving, and I’ll probably won’t be coming back today. Luke and I will pick up Jamie and then we’ll go home. If you need me just give me a call ok?
Millie: Sure Brooke. Don’t worry. Mouth is coming in five minutes, he’ll help me.
Brooke: Great!
Ten minutes later the two guys arrived.
Millie: Oh, Mouth is her. Hi Mouth…
Brooke: Oh, Lucas is here. Bye Millie. Hi Mouth, bye Mouth.
Mouth: Hi Brooke, bye Brooke. Where is she going? (giving Millie a kiss)
Milles: She and Lucas will baby-sit Jamie during the weekend. They are going to pick him up and play house… (They both laughed.)

IN NEW YORK

Nathan and Haley left early that Friday, they arrived in New York around 3 pm. It was chilly, beginning of winter. They got a cab and went straight to the hotel. They stayed at the WESTIN at Broadway. Their bedroom had a full view of Times Square, New York was busy, as always.
They had Friday all to themselves.
Haley: I need a shower or a bath.
Nathan: So do I, what do you say of saving some water and going in together?
Haley: Well, if we can fit all in one bath tub, I’m all for it. (laughs)
Nathan: Sure we can. Let’s go.
Nathan prepared the water, threw in some salts and hoped in. Haley went right after him. She laid between his legs and rested her head on his chest. They stayed there for at least half an our.
Nathan: Oh, I forgot how good it was to have some time alone with you.
Haley: Me too. Oh, she is kicking… I guess she is saying that we are not alone… (laughs).
Nathan: Yeah, but it’s still quiet here. I love you very much Hales.
Haley: I love you too Nathan, you’re the man of my life. (they kissed)
They decided to get out of the water, it was way to cold. Nate got out first, got himself a towel and helped Haley get out. He had a bath-robe ready for her. When she put her hands in, he wrapped her, she turned around and they started kissing.
Nathan: Are you sure Hales?? Is it ok to “do it”??
Haley: Yes, I’m sure.
Nathan: Ok.
They were kissing and touching each others body with such care and love. He gently laid her on the bad and started kissing her forehead, and neck, and chest, all the way down to her bally. She grabbed his shoulders and directed him, so he would be laying on the bed. She put herself over him and started kissing him, just like he had done.
Nathan then grabbed her face in his hands, brought her closer and kissed Haley’s lips very passionately. He slowly found his way into her. They were filled with joy. Their bodies were glowing and moving in a very excited rhythm. And at the end of it, they laid together, Haley had her head on his chest, she was softly tickling him.
Haley: Thanks for this weekend Nate. Thanks for this. I missed it.
Nathan: Thanks for coming with me. Thanks for giving me this great moment. I love you Haley James-Scott.
Haley: I love you two, my husband.

BACK IN TREE HILL

Lucas: Hi Brooke.
Brooke: Hi my love! We are right on time. From here to Jamie’s school it’s a 15 minutes car ride.
Lucas: We’ll get there 10 minutes earlier. So, how was your day?
Brooke: It was busy, really busy, especially because I had to get off earlier, but everything worked like I wanted. And yours?
Lucas: It was good too. The team is getting better and better, this season will be great, I’m sure. So, what are we gonna do with Jamie today?
Brooke: Well, Haley left me a list with instructions, it’s at her house. But I was thinking of taking him to the mall and maybe we could have some dinner there.
Lucas: I sounds good. We are here. Let’s wait for him at the main entrance.
Brooke: Luke, who would know that you and me would be engaged and waiting for our godson, making planes for a family night…
Lucas: I sure could not, but I’m loving it.
When they turned to each other to kiss they heard someone calling them.
Jamie: Hi Uncle Lucas, Hi Aunt Brooke. I’m so happy that you both came.
Lucas: We are happy two little men.
Brooke: Let’s go. (grabbing his back-pack and holding his hand). Get in there handsome. We are going to the mall.
Jamie: That’s cool. You’re gonna be the best parents ever.
