Lucas Scott and Brooke Davis's lives have been indistinguishably intertwined since they first met at age 16. They went from lovers, to friends, to non-exclusive lovers, briefly to enemies, back to lovers, back to somewhat enemies, back to friends, to young parents, to where they are now non-exclusive/exclusive lovers who are parents to three wonderful children. If you were not there for the whole journey you would think they were crazy, hell their family who watched their relationship evolve could hardly keep tabs on the duo. That hardly mattered to the two of them though, because Brooke Davis and Lucas Scott new exactly who they were and what they wanted from each other.
They were smart enough, more specifically Brooke was smart enough to know that the two did not do their best work when they were together, under a specific label that is. Their best work, in her opinion, was done when they found themselves in that foggy gray area of their relationship. The cat and mouse stage as she preferred to call it, the spice was still there, the burning desire stage going 17 years strong. Their perfectly gorgeous three children were beyond proof of that. The titles that came with dating had always screwed Brooke and Lucas up. Therefore when Brooke got pregnant during senior year, she refused his attempts to start a relationship. A relationship that had not worked in the past for whatever reason; she's matured past strictly naming that reason Peyton although she does attribute some of the problem to her curly haired best friend.
Lucas Scott knew he was into trouble the first day Brooke Davis laid her eyes on him. He did not think clearly around the raven haired beauty; which he still believes is part of the reason he was able to screw up around her so strongly. In his opinion, however, his track record since his last catastrophic mistake has been impeccable. He never pursued Peyton, not the way Brooke forced him to, at least. He was able to create three 'perfectly gorgeous' children with the love of his life. He convinced said woman to move in with him, even though they had separate rooms (which is a joke, because anyone who knows Brooke Davis knows that she cannot and will not sleep alone). And he has mastered the art of keeping Brooke Davis happy. Even though there is nothing to keep them from meeting others, he knows that she will not have to look elsewhere for anything. And while he does not have the one thing he truly desires (said woman with his last name) he has been around the block with Brooke long enough to know that slow and steady wins the race.
That's not to say that the past has not come without its problems. There was the "I hate you for getting me pregnant after my 21st birthday" fight that was quickly followed by the 'thank you for giving me the most gorgeous baby girl ever' make up and the "My 30th birthday, really did you not learn from the 21st" fight followed by the 'I missed one of these, he is perfect' make up. There was also the occasional 'you cannot go out wearing that' fight and the 'if you look at (insert random male or female name here) I will leave' that occurs every now and then. But if you ask him, those fights are more than welcomed especially compared to the melodrama of their youth.
People, namely Hayley James Scott and Karen Hargrove, continuously question the effects of said relationship on the children. Would they have normal views of marriage? (who does anymore) Do they have less because their parents are not together? (no) Does what they want matter? (of course) What were to happen if something bad happens to the other? (we filled out all the appropriate documents in case something like that were to happen, thank you very much) And, everyone's favorite, "What is to stop one of you from just leaving?" (Oh, you mean besides our three perfectly gorgeous children?)
So welcome to our world, enter at your own risk. It is not for the weak at heart, but hey you can't say that you haven't been warned.
