Hey guys so this is the new ch. I hope you like it.

I thought I'd switch it up, so this time it is in Lucas' POV.

I would just like to thank all of my reviewers and my readers, you guys are amazing and please continue to review it means a lot. I would like to thank you all personally, but its 4am and im just too tired, but seriously thank you guys, you inspire me to write.

Again i own nothing, and now that we have that settled here is the new ch.


I close the door I turn out the lights

but I'm not going to sleep tonight.

I climb in beside her and hold her tight.

I still find it hard to believe that she has our baby growing inside.

All I want to do is hold her, shut us up from the rest of the world, and hide.

I've never wanted anything as much as I want us.

I want the three of us to be a family I want to build something with them based on love and trust.

I want forever with her I've told her that time and time again,

but then I wake up and realize that reality is still out there, that I'm still married to her best friend.

I watch her sleep as her chest moves up and down.

I swear every time I look at her I see heaven, in her love I would gladly drown.

I brush the stray hair that has fallen in her eyes.

I wish it could be like this forever I wish we didn't have to live in lies.

It wasn't always like that I remember there was a time when we were just friends.

I close my eyes and remember the day all of that came to an end.

She walked out of her room in the red bridesmaid's dress and asked me how she looked.

I fell in love with her right then and there, and from the moment that I took her in my arms and kissed her I was hooked.

I smile thinking back to that day we had both said that it wouldn't happen again, she couldn't believe what we had just done.

But from the very first second I held her in my arms I knew she was the one.

I'm taken out of my thoughts as she stirs in her sleep.

I place my hand over her stomach and breathe in deep.

She knows as well as I do that what we have is something we cant drop.

You cant control who you fall in love with it just happens, she is an addiction I can't stop.

But she has a husband and I have a wife and we both know we have to hide these feelings, push them aside.

Because I'd rather her be happy with him than watch the guilt of loving me eat her inside.

I wish this moment could last forever, that somehow I could make time stop and we could live in this perfection.

Or maybe I could wipe out our memories of our love so we would have no recollection.

But honestly looking at her right now I fall in love all over, and I know that I would still love her the same as I do now,

We would end up finding our way to each other someway, somehow.

"God pretty girl I don't understand how you can sleep." I wish it was that easy I wish I could have that much peace.

I don't know if she can hear me but she does because she answers back, "When I'm in your arms it's easy, I just listen to the sound of your heartbeat."

I grab her hand and kiss it before placing it over my chest.

"You know that only beats for you, no one else."

She smiles and places my hand over hers.

"Same goes for mine," she says, "It speaks without having to say a word."

I pull her close kissing her with everything that I am.

Knowing that this love could be the death of me, it's almost more than I can stand.

As we pull away I look into those hazel eyes.

Knowing that what I'm about to say will kill me inside

"You know I want more than anything to be with you,

But I get that raising this baby with him is something you have to do."

I look away as tears fill her eyes, but she just smiles and nods her head and says, "I hope you understand that it's for the best. So I guess this is goodbye."

I brush my hand against her smooth skin.

"It's never goodbye with us. Besides aren't you the one who always tells me people that are meant to be together always find their way in the end."


It's been 5 months since we've talked, but I've seen her around.

People are so happy for her and him, I hear them talking all over town.

Peyton is so excited that she is going to be a god mother.

But if she knew the real truth she would hate me for being the father.

I haven't been able to write since Brooke left, not a single word.

She was my inspiration, a love that couldn't be altered.

But life has a funny way of coming up and biting you in the ass.

Of course it couldn't less us have our happy ending, nope that lasted almost as short as sand in an hourglass.

I look at the letters that she wrote me everyday.

I've locked them in my dresser, so Peyton will never see them, safely away.

I close my eyes and think of her and then they start to fall,

All the words that I've bottled up inside make there way to the surface as I begin to scrawl.


She is almost nine months along and I haven't heard a single thing.

And as I hear Peyton call me for dinner, I sigh and hide the diamond ring.

She has to tell me something I think to myself.

I'm the father of this baby she can't do this by herself.

As I walk to the dining room and Peyton tells me she has a surprise.

I come face to face with those same hazel eyes.

Brooke looks at me with a nervous smile,

And then I look over and see him and realize that she is not alone in this she has Owen, her husband by her side.

I'm shocked to see her, and upset that she hasn't even called me at all.

But as she discreetly places a hand on my leg and gives me a reassuring smile

The wave of emotions that run through me are like a windfall.

It immediately makes me forget my anger just knowing that she is here beside me makes everything worthwhile.


She walks into the kitchen behind me while I am doing dishes.

"The baby is fine." she says then adds, "Luke how did we create such messes."

I look at her not sure of what to say.

I finally decide on answering honestly, "We married the wrong people and found out too late."

She just stares at me and I watch as she places a hand over her tummy.

Of course in Brooke fashion she just changes the subject, "I can't wait to be a mommy."

I can't help but smile at the excitement in her voice.

"You are going to be the best mom in the world. That child couldn't ask for a better choice."

She says thank you before walking away.

But before she leaves she turns back around to say,

"Luke, I'm sorry for hurting you so much.

But I can promise you one thing, you will be the first person I call when I go into labor. I promise I'll keep in touch."


They left that night her and him

After Peyton hugged her tight and said, "I can't wait to see that beautiful baby girl." with a grin.

"It's a girl." I ask. Brooke never mentioned that.

My breath hitches in my throat as I think of that fact.

"Yeah," she says as she leans in to give me a hug, I softly say in her ear, "I hope she looks just like you."

Before she pulls back I swear I hear her mutter "I love you."

And while I watch her get in the car and drive away, I silently whisper, "I love you too."

So what did you think? Please review and tell me so I know if i should continue or not. I dont know how many chs. there will be, but i really like writing in poem style. Up next will be the birth of mini Brooke, and much more. So stay tuned.

And thanks again to all my amazing reviewers and readers you guys freaking rock!
