Mouth Shut - Ch. 1 Our Lives Now

It's been five years since Brooke left a heart broken Lucas behind. And unknown to him she was keeping a secret from him. That secret cost her alot, but also made her the person she is today.

She now Co-owns a small, but popular cafe called 'Coffee & More' But also designs for a big fashion company, and gets 27% of the money. She's done well for herself she thinks. She lives in a Medium two bedroom apartment on the seventh floor.

But she still has a secret. Her son. Broody.(It's prononced Brody, but it's spelled like that) Broody Matthew Scott. She loves him to death. But she can't love him enough for two. Try as she might, she can't. She knows he needs a father, but it's been to long now, and she won't let any other man step in to be Broody's dad.

He has Blue eyes, and sandy blonde hair. He's the spitting image of Lucas, with very little of her in him. He loves basketball, and is shy, but wild once you know him. Brooke couldn't be more proud of him. But her old friends still have no idea about him, and she doesn't planning on telling them.

Now Brooke was making breakfast when her bestfriend Rachel entered.

"Hey Hoe." She smirked. "Where's my favorite god son?" She asked.

"Asleep. Do you mind waking him up for me?" Brooke asked.

"Oh sure." Rachel said, and went into Broody's room.

I Know what you're thinking. Rachel? As in Nathan's baby's momma? Well yes, but after two weeks after Brooke left Rachel had a misacarriage. Broken, and hurt Rachel visited Brooke, and refused to talk to anybody, ecspecially Nathan.

When Rachel found out Brooke was pregnant she told her to tell Lucas, but Brooke refused. Then two months Later Rachel found this medium sized building for rent. They started a cafe, and a few weeks later found an apartment for Brooke. With Brooke's dad's money. After they found Rachel one the rest fell into place.

"Ow!" Rachel cursed as she re-entered the kitchen. "Your son bit me."

Brooke couldn't help but laugh. "I'm sorry." She said smiling. "Can you watch the bacon? I'll get him."

"Okay."

Brooke walked thru the livingroom, and into the hallway and entered her son's room. He was sleeping on his right side like she does. His left hand under his pillow, and the other holding the covers over his chest. His short hair(Like Lucas' hair in season one) was going in every which direction possible, and his mouth was slightly open.

She looked around his room. Dark blue, with a lighter blue line going around it. A small basketball goal on his closet door. A small T.v on his dresser, and a car shaped bed. She smiled to herself, before kneeling down beside his bed, and running her hands thru his bed hair.

"Wake up baby." She said quitely.

Broody groaned. "Go away momma." He told her, and waved his hand for her to go out.

"Come on handsome. Momma really has to work today." She pleaded.

Broody turned to his left side, and pulled the covers over his head. "It's to early."

Brooke rolled her eyes. This is just like him. "It's eight. Come on i bet Garret wants to see you."

"He can get over it. He's gay."

"Broody Matthew Scott-" She couldn't do it. She started laughed. "Where did you learn that word?"

"Go away! I'll bite you too." He warned.

Brooke sighed, and stood up before ripping the covers off him.

Broody wined. "Ugh! Momma, that's so not fair." He said, and sat up rubbing his eyes.

"It is when i'm trying to wake you up." She kissed his messy hair. "Now go brush your teeth." She called as she stepped out of his room towards the kitchen.

Lucas Scott looked around the room. He sighed, and crawled out of bed, and slipped on a shirt before going into his kitchen.

After Brooke left Lucas. He went back to Tree Hill, and became the head basketball coach for the highschool. He's had no relationships since Brooke. He always claimed he didn't want one, and truth be told he didn't want one, unless it was with Brooke. He still thought about her everyday, and still kept good memories of her in his head. He watched as Haley raised her daughter Emma, and thought about how stupid he had been for not giving Brooke a child when she asked.

Not too long after Rachel left to California for 'Personal Reasons' Nathan and Haley got together. Haley and Jake had Broken up a week after Rachel had left. Jake had knocked up some girl. Nathan, and Haley turned to eachother, and found Love. They've been dating for four years now, but have yet to marry. Nathan proposed to Haley a few weeks ago. They, and Emma are going to be a happy family.

He turned on the T.v, and started watching the news. He sighed. He wish he still had Brooke. He could still, to this day, feel her beside him. He could still smell her hair, and he stills remembers how it felt to touch her soft skin. He tried to be bitter towards her, but couldn't. His mom went traveling the world while homeschooling Lily. He took over the house, and still slept in the same room. Memories of Brooke fresh in his mind. God he missed her.

He got dressed, and went outside for his morning jog.

Brooke set a plate of breakfast for Broody on the table. She looked at Rachel who was eating her eggs. "Why are you eating my food anyway? You have an apartment with your own food."

"Because you can cook." Rachel said.

"Broody! Time for breakfast!" She called.

"Five more minutes!" He called back.

"What's he doing anyways?" Rachel asked.

"Proberly watching the news." She commented.

"That's one strange kid." Rachel laughed.

"He's not strange." Brooke defined.

"Brooke he's four, and watching the news. What does that tell you?"

"That Spongebob isn't on." Brooke stuck her tongue out, as Broody came running into the room, and sat down across from Rachel.

"Good morning aunt Wachel." He greeted. He could never say Rachel right.

"Well it wasn't good when you bit me. You little parrana." Rache mummbled.

Broody laughed, and so did Brooke. "Come on Rach, he's a kid."

"Yea, Wach i'm only four." He said flashing a dimple smile at his god mother.

Rachel smiled at her god son. He was defintly Brooke's child. He was defintly Brooke...& Lucas' son.

"Hey man." Nathan greeted when Lucas entered the gym at ten. "How you doin?"

Lucas shrugged. "The same. How Emma?"

"Man she looks more, and more like Haley everyday."

"Bet you love that. Better Haley in Keller."

Nathan laughed. "How about you? Find anybody worth your time?"

Lucas shook his head. "No." He answered simply.

"Haley's worried about you. She thinks you'll never find anybody."

"Oh please. I'm 24."

"That's what i said."

"Besides she shouldn't be focased on me. Have you sent out your wedding invitation yet?"

"She's going to tomorrow."

"Good. Who all are you inviting?"

Nathan shrugged. "Just some friends, and family."

"Okay purse?" Broody asked.

"Check." Brooke told him.

"Car keys?"

Brooke looked in her purse. "Check."

"Wallet?"

She looked again. "Shit. I'll be right back." And entered her room.

Broody heard the home phone ring, and climbed on the counter to get it. "Hello?"

Brooke came back, and ran to get the phone. "I got cha you little munckin." She said, and grabbed the phone from her four year old son. "Hello?"

"Brooke?" A Familiar voice asked.

Brooke swallowed hard. 'Oh god' She thought to herself.
