Chapter 2- You Look Great

Haley and Jaime were yet again back at the airport, but this time they were picking up a guy. A blue eyed boy, whom Haley loved just as much as Jaime did. Sitting on a bench they both waited for the arrival of Lucas, Jamie's all time favorite uncle.

"Uncle Lucas" the five year old yelled running towards the blond blue eyed man walking towards them.

Lucas dropped his bags and scooped up the his nephew. He felt like it had been way to long since he had actually seen the boy, two months to be exact. "How are you buddy?"

"Good" Jamie said stirring just a little so that he was put down.

Lucas put the boy down and looked at his friend, "Hey Hales" he said then pulled her to a side hug.

"Lucas, you can let go" she said when she felt she was running out of air.

"Sorry" he said releasing.

All three proceeded to walked towards the parking garage, after they got in the car the drove towards Haley's house. Lucas would be staying with them for a week or two while the people he had rented his house to were moving out. He had been having marital problems with Peyton, and all he needed was a brake from her.

To Lucas it felt that Peyton was just drifting away, she was always working and never wanted to spend time together. To him it felt like Peyton knew he would stick around, so she didn't give him the time of day or any sort of attention.

"We're here!" Jaime yelled.

Lucas broke from his trail of thoughts and turned to his friend. Giving her a quick smile he got off the car and walked towards the back to get his bags.

"Come on Uncle Lucas" Jaime yelled running towards the house. The boy was really exited about his uncle Lucas meeting his aunt Brooke.

Lucas grabbed his bags and ran towards the front door, where the anxious boy was waiting. He really didn't know why Jamie wanted him to go in the house so bad, the only time had been like that was when Nathan was home. But Lucas knew his little brother was in Charlotte at the moment. Still, he followed the boy in the house, and dropped his bags in the living room.

"Slow down little guy" Lucas said following the boy up the stairs. He knew that Jamie wasn't exited about showing him his room, Lucas would often come visit and always got the same room. It was practically his room, not a guest room.

"I want to show you something" Jaime said running towards Brooke's room.

Reaching the room Lucas could recognize the smell, it was so familiar. Yet, it felt like ages since he had smelled it.

"Oh, she's not here" Jaime whined, then walked out the room leaving Lucas alone with his thoughts.

Lucas walked in the room and examined it, from the smell to the way she had decorated it herself. Walking around he saw a few pictures of her, also of her and some other people. Lucas had never officially met Julian, but he had seen him on TV and on a few magazines. He picked up a picture and saw how different Brooke was. She was still as beautiful as she was before, but now she looked more matured. He couldn't say anything wrong, the girl looked perfect even in pictures.

"Can I help you" a raspy voice asked.

He recognized the voice, and it sent shivers down his spine. As much as he wanted to turn around and look at her he couldn't bring himself to do so. He finally turned to see both Brooke and Haley standing by the door. Haley was covering her mouth so her laugh wouldn't get out, and Brooke was standing with her hands on her hips with a serious face.

"Brooke" was all he managed to say in surprise at the girl standing in front of him.

"Lucas" she gave him a nod. "Are you lost?" It was obvious he wasn't, he knew the house as he knew his own. But Brooke just felt like asking him.

"I'll let you two talk" Haley said then turned on her heels and walked back out the room.

Brooke and Lucas were standing there staring at each other. It had been years since they had actually talked, years since they had seen each other. Back in high school everything seemed so simple and fun. Brooke was the popular girl who fell for the popular boy, he liked her back, but never made a move. When he finally made a move Brooke was already dating, even though she was not the stable girl she didn't cheat or break up with Chase just because Lucas was now ready.

Lucas always liked her, but never made a move. It true that when you don't go after what you want you eventually lose it, Lucas was the poster child. After high school he moved to New York to attend NYC, were he met Peyton. There it was, Peyton the girl that had changed him in so many ways. Back when they first met she was the perfect girlfriend, but after a year of marriage she changed. Peyton was always making thing difficult, and Lucas couldn't take it anymore. If she wasn't making an effort, then he was no longer going to make one either.

"You look great" Lucas said.

"thanks"

"Aunt Brooke" Jamie said running towards her. He had heard her voice and wanted to give her a hug.

"Hey little man" she said scooping him up, she then ruffled his hair "what are you up to?"

"Going to the store with momma, wanna come. It'll be so much fun, uncle Lucas can come too." The little boy was so exited he hardly took a breath.

Brooke put him down and bent down to his height, "actually, I have some things to do. But I'll see you at dinner, k."

Jamie nodded and walked towards the door, "I'll see you at dinner, bye uncle Lucas."

"Bye" yelled Lucas to the boy who had already disappeared. " He's a great kid" he said to Brooke, not that she hadn't notice.

For only being five years old, Jamie was very smart and polite. He was always careful, and made sure to apologize or excuse himself for anything wrong he did.

"Yeah" she said, "she's done a good job with him."

"Yeah" Lucas said, "considering she's practically alone."

Brooke nodded, she still stood by the door.

"I'm gonna go unpack, I'll see you later?" After getting another nod from her he walked out of the room but turned before being completely out, "it's good to see you again." With that he walked out and towards his own room.

He had just finished unpacking, at least the things he needed while he stayed there. Lucas was so glad to be back home, and it really sucked that he was growing apart from Peyton. But there was something else that had him smiling as he laid on his bed staring at the ceiling. He hadn't even notice his smile, it was like a kid in a candy store.

She was so beautiful, she had changed, but only in a good way, a way that made him melt. Lucas had never really gotten over Brooke, but he learned to live without her. But having her here, now. It just complicated things. He didn't know what to say, or think, or how to react when she spoke to him.

"Stop smiling, you can't think like that you're married" He told himself over and over again. His thoughts were wrong, a married man shouldn't be thinking of anther woman. Even if the woman was someone that meant so much to him. He couldn't, Peyton was his wife.

"Why didn't you tell me" a very angry Brooke asked.

Haley was currently slicing some tomatoes for the salad, "because, I know you. I know you would've left the moment the words came out of my mouth, and I wanted you here" she admitted in the calmest tone you could think of.

"Haley, he's here" Brooke said pointing up the stairs, "what am I suppose to do ?"

"I don't know" Haley shrugged her shoulders, she slammed the knife on the cutting board and looked at her friend, who had a extremely worried face. "Tell him about life, it'll get easier, trust me."

"That's the last thing I want to do right you, I can't believe you." Brooke was clearly angry, she hated that Haley didn't tell her that Lucas was coming to tree hill, let alone that he was staying with them.

"Hey uncle Lucas" Jamie said hoping on the bed and sitting right next to were Lucas laid, "what are you looking at?" The little boy laid on his back and tried to think of something interesting to look at, but the only interesting thing on the ceiling, was the lamp.

"Is dinner ready?"

Jaime shook his head, "naa."

"Wanna go shoot around?" Lucas asked sitting back up. He knew how much Jamie liked to play, but his dad wasn't really around this time of year.

"Yeah" Jamie said jumping up, "daddy got me a new ball." The boy jumped off the bed and ran to his room to get the ball.

After the boy ran in the room with the ball Lucas took the ball and they both went outside to shoot around, getting a quick glance at the girls in the kitchen on their way out. More then a glance, they were actually stopped by the mom police.

"Where are you going?" Haley asked mysteriously.

Jamie looked at his mother and began to tell her, "to play basketball."

"Be careful" she said, after she received a nod from her son she sent him a nod towards the door "dinner will be ready soon." With that she saw her son ran out the door. But the other man in the room still stood there.

Lucas didn't hear a word Haley had said, the whole time he was staring at Brooke. He knew somehow that would make her uncomfortable, but he didn't care the girl looked beautiful and he was going to stare.

"You can go too" Haley said a little louder, causing him to break his stare and glare at her before he ran out the door.

Haley giggled and turned back to her friend, "looks like he has a crush."

"Shut up" Brooke shot, "he's married, to that drawing whore." Brooke never liked Peyton, she always thought that Peyton was the one who took Lucas from her. She believed that they were meant to be, and that Peyton had broken the path of their destiny when she married him.

"She's nice" Haley said not realizing that it wouldn't make Brooke very happy.

"Don't you have a husband to get ready for?" Brooke asked rudely, she was really getting sick of Haley's comments.

Haley chuckled, she could tell Brooke was mad, or at least not pleased with all her comments and/or reactions. "No, he wont get here till late tonight."

"Lucky me."

"Why?"

"I get to hear more of your dumb comments."

Haley laughed and continued chopping vegetables for her salad, as Brooke just sat there and glared.

"So you really like Brooke?" Lucas asked passing the ball to his nephew.

"Yeah" Jamie said and shot the ball, "she's really nice, and pretty" he added with a smile. "Do you like her?"

"Yeah" he smiled, "we use to be really good friends."

"What happened?" the curious child asked walking over to his uncle.

"I got married, and she got busy" Lucas said honestly. Whenever he talked to Jamie it didn't feel like he was talking to a five year old, he felt like he was talking to a friend. A friend that could tease and be caring and understanding all at the same time, kind of like a mix of his parents.

"I wish she stayed in Tree Hill" the five year old's voice sadden.

"Me too buddy, me too."

With that both boys were sitting on a bench next to the hoop, both staring at the water of the pool in the backyard. They had so much in common, yet so different. But in the end, they would always have that close uncle-nephew bond.

Thanks for reading, review and tell me what you think.

Next chapter-

Jamie will begin to see a few sparks between Lucas and Brooke.

Nathan will be home and talk to his brother about how he feels having Brooke around.

Maybe Lucas will talk to Peyton, but that's up to the readers.

Thanks again. =D
