Title is a song by Jamie O'Neill

Chapter 7 - She's somebody's hero.

The plane ride had been many things to both of them and it had brought back many emotions but they both knew they had to deal with getting their son better first before they concentrated on themselves.

Brooke had a haste to her step as she walked through arrivals with Lucas by her side, she just had to get to her son.

They collected their baggage and headed out to where Brooke's mom had arranged for a car to pick them up.

"Parker! It's so good to see you" Brooke said as she hugged the old man waiting by the limousine with the door open.

"It's good to have you back Miss Davis" Parker exclaimed.

"Now Parker what have I told you about calling me Brooke, your practically family." Brooke said in reply to the man as she raised her eyebrow in the quirky way Lucas loves. Lucas was feeling a bit uncomfortable so he cleared his throat to get their attention.

"Oh sorry how rude of me, Parker this is Lucas Scott, he's Rhys' dad" Brooke said as she held Lucas' arm and brought closer. "Lucas this is Parker he's been my driver since I first came to New York, he's practically a member of the family."

Parker looked at Lucas and offered his hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you Mr Scott, Rhys looks the spitting image of you"

Lucas kindly shook his hand "Thankyou Sir and please call me Lucas he said.

"okay and please call me Parker" Parker said. "Shall we head off now Brooke, your son is waiting to see you."

"Let's go" Brooke said as she and Lucas climbed into the limousine, she was scared to say the least.

10 minutes later they pulled up outside a very nice apartment building, Brooke thanked Parker and climbed out, she knew the doorman would have her bags brought up so her and Lucas headed into the building and up to the penthouse apartment.

"Lucas I think I should just tell you a few things before you meet him" Brooke said as they were in the elevator.

"Okay, go ahead" Lucas replied.

"Well, when he was ill before he had some good days but a lot of bad days and his bad days could be so bad Lucas that I just want to hold him and cry, but I must warn you that he could act a few different ways depending on his mood." Brooke said as she grew teary.

Lucas touched her arm and looked at her to let her know to carry on.

"He could either be very clingy to me and not want to talk to anyone else, or he could but in a very bad mood and act up at everything and even then he doesn't like be clingy, you just have to let him be in his mood and understand for me Lucas, its is very hard to watch him go through it."

"That's understandable Brooke, I know I don't have any idea about it but I kinda know what to expect illness wise." Lucas said as he wrapped one arm around Brooke to comfort her.

They were stood outside the door and Brooke turned to Lucas "Are you ready to meet your soon now Lucas?" Brooke said as she smiled weakly at him.

"As I'll ever be" Lucas said apprehensively. He was so scared. What if Rhys didn't like him. What if he didn't know him. What if What if What if. That's all going round in his head but he knows he's only going to find out by going inside.

"He knows who you are." Brooke said and Lucas looked at her puzzled. "He's got pictures of you in his room and he asks where you are." Brooke answered.

"What did you tell him?" Lucas asked curiously.

"That you loved him and that it was my fault you weren't around but that he'd meet you one day and on that day he shouldn't blame you for not being here because you would have been if you could." Brooke answered honestly.

"Thankyou," Lucas half smiled at her. "Can I meet my son now?" Lucas asked.

"Let's go" Brooke said as she opened the door.

-BL BL BL BL BL BL BL -

"Brooke, honey it's good to have you home" Victoria said as she greeted her daughter.

"Thankyou mom, its good to be home. You remember Lucas?"

"Yes darling of course I do." Victoria said as she smiled at him. "It's nice to see you Lucas."

"You too Mrs Davis" Lucas replied kindly.

"Where's my brave little soldier?" Brooke asked expectantly.

"In his bedroom darling. He's having a good day today so he is playing." Victoria smiled.

"Okay Thankyou" Brooke said as she nodded for Lucas to come with her and walked towards his bedroom.

Lucas stayed stood by the door. Brooke walked over to the little boy playing at his desk with his back to the door, he had snow white blonde hair and was so small for 2 years old.

"MOMMY!" he screamed as he jumped in her arms. "I has missed yooo!" he said as he was squeezing her tightly.

"I missed you too Rhysy noodle" Brooke said as her whole face lit up from the sheer fact of seeing her son. "I've got someone I want you to meet" Brooke said looking towards the door.

Rhys turned around excitedly and his whole face lit up "That's my daddy!" he said curiously. "You said he'd come momma, youse said he'd come to see me and he's wealy here." "Yes he is darling" Brooke said as she smiled, Lucas was stood in awe at how much like him he looked, he couldn't imagine that the love between him and Brooke had created such an amazingly gorgeous little boy.

Rhys slowly walked over to Lucas and looked up at him and Lucas was scared as to what would happen next, then Rhys slowly lifted his arms for Lucas to pick him up and in that moment Lucas felt as though his world was complete, how can one little being that he has known for a matter of minute cause such an ache in his heart.

Lucas picked Rhys up and looked into his eyes. "Hello baby, I'm so happy to finally meet you, im going to protect you and love you forever you know." Lucas said as his eyes filled with tears.

"Don't cwy daddy, I's not going anywhere. And I's not a baby I's a big boy, mommys says my is." Rhys exclaimed in his adorable manner.

Lucas just smiled proudly at his son and in that moment he could of sworn the world stopped for jut few seconds.

"of course you are" Lucas said to his son. "Your such a big boy."

Rhys wiggled to get down then walked over to his mom. "Is daddy live wiv us momma? We gonna be a appy famwy?" Rhys asked with such excitement on his face.

"Well buddy, me and you are moving to Tree hill where Daddy lives so daddy will be your family yes, but I don't know if he's going to live with us, we will see." Brooke said as she looked at Lucas. "But first come on lets get you dressed and we can go see your doctor, mommy needs to talk to him." Brooke said regretfully.

"Okays momma" Rhys exclaimed as he ran off to find some clothes.

Anyway I'm gonna leave it there, I was going to write more but this seemed a good place to end it. Hope you like it and please review.
