~ Sometimes things don't always turn out the way we planned.. Sometimes they turn out even better. ~

Brooke still couldn't believe that she had given birth to Mattie over a year ago already. She still remember how scare she was when she found out that she was pregnant, but now she couldn't imagine her life without him.

She was in the kitchen tidying some things up and looked at the living room and saw Nathan and Rachel playing with Mattie. Nathan was giving the ball to Mattie to play, but Rachel was throwing the ball away saying no basketball yet, which only made Mattie laugh.

Haley and Jake were on the other corner of the room laughing and putting the toys away and Jenny was playing with her doll on the couch. Watching that scene reminded Brooke of the first months after they brought Mattie home, she laughed and thought, who would thought things would turned out as good as they did.

- FLASHBACK -

Brooke and Nathan entered the apartment, Brooke holding Mattie, and everyone yelled, "Surprise!" It was all decorated with balloons and a It's a Boy banner, Brooke laughed and said, "Thanks guys"

Jake smiled and said, "How was the ride from the hospital?" Nathan said, "Good, he slept the whole drive" They smiled and Rachel said, "Good, now give me my godson. I miss him" she took Mattie and sat on the couch.

They all sat down and Haley said, "So how are you Tigger?" Brooke smiled and said, "I'm fine, happy, just a little tired, nobody told me that childbirth was so much work" they laughed and Deb said, "You haven't seen anything yet" Jake laughed and said, "Yeah, now that comes the hard part"

Nathan stood up and said, "Guys! She just had a baby, how about we talk about happy things!" they laughed and Brooke pull Nathan to her side again and said, "Nate.. calm down, I'm fine" Nathan smiled and said, "okay, are you sure you don't need anything?"

Brooke smiled and said, "yes.. but thank you.. so Jake where is my favorite little girl?" Jake smiled and said, "She was sleeping, but she should be getting up any minute now" After he said that Jenny showed up and said, "Auntie Brooke! You're home!"

Jenny ran to her and Brooke took her in her arms and said, "I just got in girly, how are you?" Jenny smiled and said, "Good, where's Mattie?" Brooke pointed to Rachel who was holding him and said, "Right there with her aunt Rach" Jenny smiled and said, "Can I hold him?"

Before Jake and Nathan could say anything Brooke said first, "Yes you can girly, and before you two say anything, it's alright, stop worrying so much. Come on Jenny" Jake and Nathan looked at each other, Haley and Deb laughed and went to sit next to where Mattie was.

Brooke said, "Okay, sit here on the couch Jenny" Jenny obeyed, Rachel took Mattie to her and said, "Watch his head okay Jen.. he's every little so be careful" Jenny nodded and Rachel put him on her lap, Brooke sat at her side and stayed looking at them.

Jenny looked at Mattie in her arms and said, "He doesn't do anything?" Brooke laughed and said, "He's still little JJ, but he'll grow up and you two will play together a lot" Brooke took Mattie who was starting to cry and said "He must be hungry, I'll go feed him to the room and get some rest myself"

Everyone agreed, Brooke went to the bedroom and Deb said, "I didn't know that Brooke was so natural at this" Jake smiled putting Jenny on his lap and said, "Yeah.. she's amazing, I told her that when was pregnant. She always has been great with Jenny, right Jen?"Jenny smiled and said, "Yeah, I love Auntie Brooke. Can we live here daddy?"

They all laughed and Haley said, "It was only a matter of time Jake.. by the way how are things back in Savannah, when you go home?" Jake smiled and said, "It's great, Nikki disappeared again after I won the custody, I have a good job.. that I have to go back to so we're going back tomorrow"

Nathan smiled and said, "That's great Jake.. but we'll miss you here, I'll miss you you're leaving me here alone with all these crazy women" Rachel hit him and said, "You know Nathan you can always find another place to live"

They laughed and Nathan said, "See what I mean? Anyway.. I'm tired, I'll go see if Brooke needs anything and get some rest too" he went to the bedroom and Deb said, "So I think I'm going to go.. it was a long day and tomorrow I have work. Call with you need anything okay" Rachel said, "Okay, thanks Deb" They said goodbye and she left.

Time passed and the calm of the first day they brought Mattie home was just a memory. Haley went back to LA, Jake and Jenny went back home, things were crazier by the day at the apartment.

Rachel went to the office every day and Brooke worked from home to stay with Mattie that was driving her crazy from the crying and the lack of sleep. Nathan classes hadn't started yet, but he had training with the team every day, leaving Brooke alone with Mattie for few hours every day. Nathan and Rachel tried to help with Mattie as much as possible, but Brooke started to shut them out and did everything alone.

A few months later, things got a little better, they all fell on a good routine, but Brooke was still acting weird. Nathan and Rachel were struggling to understand what was going on with her, who rarely accepted their help and pretended that everything was fine, but they knew she was exhausted and frustrated.

Brooke was sleeping one night and she woke up sweating from a nightmare, she looked at the clock and saw it was four in the morning, leaned against the bed and stayed there quiet until she got up quickly and said, "Mattie!" he didn't wake up once crying and that was weird. Brooke went up to his bedroom and saw Nathan with him on his arms sitting in the chair talking to him, so she decided to stay by the door and watch them for a while.

Nathan put Mattie close to his chest and said, "Okay buddy, I'll stay here with you until you sleep.. your mom need some rest so let's stay quiet just you and me.." Brooke stood in the corner of the door watching Nathan interact with her son. Nathan looked at Mattie and continued talking, "You know Mattie, I don't know what is wrong with your mom, she knows that she can't lie to me so she acting like a crazy person and avoiding me, can you tell me what's going on?"

Mattie stayed quiet looking at Nathan, Nathan smiled and said, "I can't wait for you to grow up you know.. I want to teach you so much.. I was thinking the other day, how about we have a day just for me and you.. the guys, because between you and me, your mom and aunt Rach are going to drive us crazy"

Mattie was closing his eyes and Nathan said, "Go to sleep little man, I'll be right here" Mattie fell asleep and Brooke appeared in the doorway and said, "I'm sorry.." Nathan looked up and said, "For what? You don't have to apologize just tell me what's going on B." Brooke started to cry, Nathan put Mattie in the crib and pulled Brooke to a hug and said, "B. just talk to me, I'm right here" Brooke nodded and they went to her room.

They sat on her bed and Nathan looked at her and said, "Whenever you're ready B." Brooke looked at him wiped her tears and said, "I don't know where to start" Nathan looked at her and said, "why are you pushing away me and Rachel?"

Brooke looked to the floor and said, "You two did a lot for me, more than what anyone could expect, I just don't want… you have your own lives, I don't want you to sacrifice more things for me.. or Mattie.."

Nathan got closer to her raised her head, they looked at each other in the eye and Nathan said, "Brooke, how many times do we have to tell you that we're in this together? No one is sacrificing anything.. if I didn't want to be here I wouldn't be, and you know Rachel very well to know that she doesn't do anything that she doesn't want. No matter what happens we're not going anywhere.."

Brooke looked at him and said, "Deep down I know that, but I'm not used to this. I always end up alone, so I guess I was kind of preparing myself just in case.." Nathan took her hand and said, "B. you'll never be alone, never, you got that?" Brooke agreed and Nathan said, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Brooke agreed and said, "Yeah.. I dreamed that social service came and took Mattie from me" Nathan tried not to laugh and said, "B, that's not going to happen" Brooke hit him and said, "Don't laugh at me, I've been dreaming about this almost every day, I haven't had a good night sleep in months.."

Nathan pulled her into a hug and said, "You want me to stay with you tonight?" she nodded and Mattie started to cry, Nathan picked him up and took him to Brooke's room and said, "I think Mattie wants to join us.. isn't that right buddy?" Brooke smiled and said, "You're amazing, you know that Nathan Scott"

He smiled, put Mattie in the bed in the middle of them and said, "You too Brooke Davis.. and stop worrying, you're a great mom" Brooke smiled and they lay down. They stayed in silence just looking at each other, Mattie had gone back to sleep, they just kept staring at each other until Nathan leaned forward and kissed her.

It was a light kiss, like the ones you would give every day to the person you love.. it felt natural like they did that every day.. they looked at each other and Nathan thought, "Oh God.. what I have done? Now she'll go crazy for sure.. but God how I wanted to kiss her.. and how I want to do it again.. What am I going to do?"

Brooke looked at him and thought, "Oh my God! Did Nathan just kiss me? Oh God I can't fall in love with Nathan! Oh I'm so falling for him.. I want to kiss him again" they smiled and Brooke said, "Good night Nate" Nathan smiled and said, "Good night B." they gave a goodnight on Mattie and closed their eyes, but their hands found each other, they looked at each other one more time, smiled and went back to sleep… holding hands.
