The moment I meet her
BPOV
I walked back into Rachel's house before entering the den I wiped the tears from my eyes and smiled at everyone as they all looked at me knowing it didn't go well. I just wanted to grab Ally and take her back home and forget this ever happened. Then I thought maybe I should do that. I knew I shouldn't have come here. I sat in the spear seat I saw across the room. I looked at everyone and didn't know what to say. So I just asked about my godson Jamie.
"So Hales, where is my godson?" I asked trying to avoid the conversation Lucas and I just had.
"His playing with Rory and Ally. I'll call him" Haley stood up and walked down the corridor to the play room.
When she came back a brunette headed kid came running in after her. He looked at me like he knew who I was all along. I smiled at him and he jumped into my arms and flung his arms around my neck squeezing me a little "Aunt Brooke" He shouted
"You know who I am?" I asked shocked and he nodded
"Yeah you're my Auntie Brooke" Jamie pulled away from me and I smiled
"I sure am buddy" I then looked at Haley
"I showed him pictures of you all the time Brooke" Haley told me and I smiled
"Yeah I showed Ally pictures of all of you all the time. She's just shy meeting new people and I am sorry that I didn't introduce her sooner or call any of you when I was pregnant. I was just scared" I apologised and I saw a room full of smiles coming my way.
"We forgive you B Davis" Peyton spoke on behalf of everyone.
"So tell me what's going on with everyone" I asked
"Well Nathan and I are doing great. We have Jamie and were trying for another one" Haley told me and I squealed in excitement.
"Jake and I are expecting" Peyton removed her hands from her belly and I saw. She was pregnant "We're due any moment now, were having a girl" I smiled and tears ran down my face again when I heard a small voice come from behind me.
"Mommy no tears" Ally walked over to me and I picked her up and sat her on my lap as Rory sat on Rachel's lap and Jamie on Haley's.
"Its okay baby girl" I assured her and she wiped away my tears for me with her small hands and I smiled down at her.
"She really is pretty Brooke" Nathan told me and I smiled at him "You done a good job raising her"
"Thanks Nate. Jamie is a good kid too. His so damn cute" I smiled and then Ally looked up at me "You remember everyone right Ally?" I asked my daughter and she nodded
"Yeah there the people in the pictures in my room" Ally nodded looking around the room.
"That's right pumpkin" I agreed "So name them for me if you can" I wanted to show everyone that I didn't keep them from Ally totally. She knew who they were.
"That's Aunt Haley and Peyton" Ally pointed to them and they smiled while nodding "And that is Uncle Nate and Uncle Jake" and the two guys nodded at her. Then Ally looked for the last person that was in the photo by her bed, but he wasn't there and then Lucas walked back into the room. Ally looked up at him and pointed to him which made Lucas stop.
"Is that my daddy mommy?" Ally whispered to me
"Yes baby, it is" I nodded and Ally smiled
"Really mommy" and I nodded yes.
Then Ally pointed to him and said "You're my daddy. You're in my photo at home by my bed" Lucas looked at me and I could feel his eyes on me, but I didn't look back up.
"Yeah I am your daddy" I heard Lucas say. I was shocked he actually said it without yelling at me.
Ally got up from my lap and leaped into her dad's arms. It shocked me totally because Ally doesn't trust anyone, but me, but then again he is her dad. I finally looked at them and Lucas held his little girl tight.

I walked back into the house. I wanted to see my little girl. I walked up to the lawn and saw everyone talking through the window. Brooke was hugging Jamie and they were all smiling. I then saw Rory and Ally entre the room. I opened the front door and walked in as I heard Ally saying who everyone was. She then stopped and that was my que to enter the room. Ally looked at me and I saw she knew who I was, by the look she gave me.
Then Ally pointed to me and said "You're my daddy. You're in my photo at home by my bed at home" I looked at Brooke, but she wouldn't look at me.
"Yeah I am your daddy" I said looking my daughter. She was seriously not what I would ever expect my daughter to ever be, but she is my daughter and she is everything I ever want her to be.
Ally got up from Brooke's lap and leaped into my arms. It shocked me totally because Ally looked as if she was scared of me earlier. I hugged her back and held on to her tight as she squeezed me a little. Ally pulled away and then looked at me.
"Are you really my daddy?" she asked. I knew Brooke wouldn't lie about this if she brought her to come see me even if she did keep her a secret so I nodded yes and a huge smile appeared on her face "Can I call you daddy?"
"Yes of course you can" I nodded
"Promise" She held out her pinkie finger and I smiled at her
"I promise" I told her and linked our pinkies together.
"Okay" Ally then walked back to Brooke.

It was amazing how the scene which just happened in front of me soothe the guilt I felt for all those years. Yeah the guilt hasn't totally gone, but they get on fine and Ally doesn't resent him so everything was all good with them at the moment. I looked at my watch and realised I had to get back to the hotel and get Ally into bed. I didn't want to break her sleeping arrangement I created when she was a baby.
"Sorry guys, but I have to get Ally back to the hotel. I don't want to ruin her bed time routine we have" Everyone nodded.
"Well you can stay with me" I turned around and looked at Lucas. There was no way I was staying with him at the house he properly brought Britney too. He can forget it.
I shook my head and picked Ally up. I could see she was drifting "No were good thanks" I responded "Bye guys" I waved to the others, gave Rachel a kiss to Ally on the cheek and I didn't the same to Rory. Gave Jamie a kiss on the cheek and then we headed out the door. I heard Lucas come after us.
"Stay with me Brooke until you go home" I was not staying with him. I don't care what he says. Yeah Ally is his daughter, but she is mine too and I raised her. We are staying at the hotel and that is final.
"No Luke. I paid for the hotel so we are staying at the hotel" I strapped Ally into her car seat. She had fallen asleep as soon as I put her in the car.
"Please Brooke for me?" Lucas used that card and I shook my head. It might of worked back in high school, but we aren't together anymore and it wasn't working.
"No Luke" I repeated "I will not step foot in that room of yours where you and Britney done whatever"
"When can I see her again?" Lucas asked giving up feeling defeated
"Well tomorrow I'm taking her to see her grandma and grandpa and Frankie as a surprise" I told him and he nodded "If you want to be there you can. I'm getting there for 10:00"
Yep Karen had the baby with Keith. Keith runs Scott motors when Dan died last year. I wanted to go to the funeral, but I didn't want to shed a tear for the man who treated Luke badly. I heard no one went anyway. Frankie had just turned four last month. She was gorgeous; I talked to her over the phone sometimes and over webcam when Ally was at a play date or something.
"Okay see you and Ally there then" I nodded and got into the car going to the hotel.
I sat on the couch in our room after I put Ally down. We ate at Rachel's so I wasn't hungry. All I could think about was Lucas. He kept running through my head and he wouldn't go away. I grabbed my bag and pulled out my stenches for my new line and started finishing them off so I had them ready before we headed back home in a week's time. I was slowly drifting off to sleep; I was tired fighting with Lucas and then the plane ride. I just needed to get some sleep before I had to face Lucas again tomorrow. I put the sketches back into my bag and got up to head for my room when I heard a slight knock at the door. I walked to Ally's room to check she wasn't awake before I headed for the door. I looked through the peep hole and saw Lucas standing there. I huffed and opened the door feeling super tired. I so wasn't in the mood for this right now.
"Lucas I'm tired and I need to sleep" I said before he could say anything.
"I get all that, but that still doesn't give you the right to keep my daughter away from me all these years" Lucas stated and I sighed
"Luke I thought we argued about that enough and right now I haven't got the strength to argue about this anymore okay" I huffed "Now if you would excuse me"
"No I need to talk to you about something" Lucas walked pass me and into the hotel room. I took a deep breath and sighed. What apart of not now did he not understand?
"What is it Luke" I asked as I shut the door and walked further into the hotel room.
"Are you staying in Tree Hill?" Lucas asked.
Did he really think I was going to stay in Tree Hill just because he found out about his daughter? I don't think so. Ally and I have a life in Cali and that is where were going after this week is up. I was thinking about staying here, but I don't think I can do it and what about Ally she has day care and no we have a life already and that is how this is going to plan out.
I shook my head "No Luke were going back to Cali Sunday night" I told him. I saw the hurt in his eyes, but I had to see past it. Ally and I can't give up our lives in Cali just because Lucas wants us too. We would have to work out something for him to see Ally and yeah it would be easier if we were in the same state, but this is all his fault anyway. If he didn't date that bitch then I would have come back and we would properly have been together or at least worked something out.
"But what about Ally?" Lucas questioned
"She's coming with me of course" I put my hand on my hips in disbelieve that he thought I was going to leave the one precious thing with him and leave. I don't fucking well think so "Are you fucking crazy Luke. I'm not leaving my precious baby girl here in Tree Hill and leave. If you thought that was happening your damn crazy"
"No I knew you wouldn't leave her Brooke. I meant what we are going to do so I can see Ally" Lucas made it clear
"I don't know at the moment Lucas, but we have a whole week to figure that out. By Saturday I promise I'll think of something" I told him and he hung his head "I know it would be better if we were in the same state, just a few blocks away, but where not. Ally and I live in Cali" I told him and he nodded "We'll think of something though. I promise. I won't keep her away from you again Luke"
"Yeah I know Brooke. I'm just going to miss her when you guys go back. I know I should be well pissed off with you like any normal person would be, but I can't and I don't know why. It's like your immune to me being angry at you" Lucas told me and then it clicked why he wasn't shouting "I just hope you don't keep her away from me because you hate me right now"
I shook my head "I don't hate you Luke. I'm just mad at you. I got over it when I was back in Cali because I had Ally to help me, but when you were shouting at me it all came flooding back and the anger I held back all them years just came out" the thought of him and Britney was stuck in my head. It was like he cheated on me when I know he didn't. I just couldn't believe the Lucas Scott I loved would jump into another girls bed and not mourn over me leaving like I did for him and then him and Britney being together hurt just as much or maybe a little more "I just can't get it out of my mind since I found out. I thought about it and it kills me that you would do that to me even though you claimed you loved me and you even got mad at me for not saying it back all them years ago."
Lucas nodded and the tears came back into my eyes. I hated crying about all this and everything he put me through "I did love you and still do Brooke"
I shook my head and he put his head down again "Months Luke. I cried for months and you didn't even mourn longer than 2 weeks and not telling me killed me most. I had to find out myself. We were emailing and writing letters and you didn't mention it once. Not once" Tears began to run down my face.
Lucas shot his head up at me "Wait one god damn minute Brooke you never mentioned Ally in any of your emails if I remember rightly. Not once did you write 'Oh by the way Luke, you have a daughter. Her name is Ally and she has your ocean blue eyes' so don't you stand there and act like I'm the bad guy. Don't you fill my head with guilt when you should feel guilty for being the selfish bitch you are" Lucas snapped at me. I stood there shocked.
He didn't have any idea how guilty I felt and how much it ate at me for 3 years not telling him about her. he had no idea what it was doing to me, so for him to call me a selfish bitch was a little harsh "Yeah fine I might be a bitch, but I'm not filling your head with guilt, you're doing that yourself I'm just being honest and telling you what I felt when I found out. For 3 years I was mad at you, but I never showed it in my emails because I didn't want to show Ally I was mad. She means everything to me Lucas and no one will take that away from me. Not you, not anyone. So don't stand here in front of me and call me a bitch when you don't know half of it" I looked at him. If everything was coming out now then I might as well tell him I know about his HCM and how I had Ally tested to make sure he hadn't passed it on to her which he hadn't thank god "Oh yeah and by the way thanks for telling me you have HCM Luke, we were together for six months and you failed to mention it. How can you not tell me you have it? I guess I now know why back in high school you couldn't play a whole game" I scoffed and his eyes were still locked with mine "Oh, but don't worry I got Ally checked out just after her 1st birthday when Rachel told me you have it. Haley must have told her or something"
"Has Ally got it?" Lucas asked I shook my head no "Brooke I was going to tell you?" Lucas started and I stopped him there by putting my hand up shaking my head not believing he had the nerve to lie to me like that.
"Don't lie Lucas. You weren't going to tell me, but don't worry at least Rachel told me it was genetic otherwise I wouldn't have had Ally tested for it" I told him
"I'm sorry" Lucas apologised
"Keep the I'm sorry's to yourself Lucas they don't mean anything to me" I told him "I've heard it all before remember back in high school when Britney came back"
"I'm glad Ally hasn't got it" Lucas responded
"Yeah so am I since she loves cheering just like me" I turned and looked at her bedroom door "She means everything to me Lucas and if you ever hurt her. I will kill you"
"I won't hurt her. I promise" Lucas replied
"Don't make promises Luke, they only end up as lies in the end and I know that for a fact" I remembered all the promises Lucas promised 4 years back "Now why don't you go and you'll see Ally tomorrow"
"I'll go Brooke. I'll see you at my moms. Bye Brooke" I nodded to the door and Lucas walked out shutting it behind him.
I stood there feeling really defeated I just wished it didn't turn out like this and maybe everything would be okay like Lucas sat on the bus to Charleston. I remember that bus ride like it was yesterday.
Flashback
The day was over and we were lining up waiting to get on the bus. Lucas and Brooke were standing there hand in hand. Everything seemed to be going okay now. She wasn't pregnant which was fantastic. Brooke must have just been ill or ate something bad. Brooke was next to get on the bus. She had her cheer uniform, her pom poms and her over night back. We were there for the weekend coming home late Sunday night. Brooke sat at the back in a two seat and Lucas sat next to her. She put her head on his shoulder and he kissed the top of Brooke's head "Everything's going to be okay right Luke?" Brooke asked.
"Everything's going to be okay Pretty Girl" Lucas answered and the bus started to move and they were on their way to Charleston "I promise"
Brooke smiled and stroked Lucas's hand feeling so safe with me there. This was going to be one long ass weekend.
End of Flashback
That promised he made me back then on the bus was a lie because look where we are now. Everything is definitely not okay.
LPOV
Okay so I just called Brooke a selfish bitch. I didn't mean to, it just came flying out of my mouth and I regretted the moment it did, but it was too late. I saw the hurt I had caused her in her beautiful eyes. Standing in front of Brooke just now made me realise how much I truly love her. I think I fell in love with her all over again even if we were fighting and yeah I know I should have told her about the HCM, but I didn't know it mattered. I got diagnosed with it about 6 years ago after my dad had a heart attack. I learned to deal with it and not telling Brooke wasn't to hurt her, it was because I didn't think she needed to know.
I'm glad someone told her though even though it should have been me years ago. I'm glad Brooke got Ally tested for it and she hasn't got it. That little girl is the high light of my life even though I only met her today. I can't wait to see her grow up into a young woman. When I decided to come to the hotel I didn't know how it would play out, so this argument surprised me. I'm going o head home now and get some sleep.
So what do you guys think? Could please review just so I know if you are reading it or not. I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks. Roch xxx
