What was that, she slowly pulled herself away unsure of what had just happened.

"Brooke I know I took you by surprise and I don't want to mess you around but the thing it I still love you, I never wanted to split up with you and then I was with Peyton but I just found myself always thinking of you." Lucas said, even he was rather shocked at what he had just said and done, for once he had followed his heart.

"Luke, I just don't know if I am ready to put myself back in that position, you have hurt me not once but twice and I am not sure how much more I can take. It's not just me to consider either now she said looking at her stomach. How do I know you won't leave me and what about Peyton?" Brooke asked

"I love Peyton but as a friend Brooke, nothing more, like I said things just were not working between us, I was constantly comparing her to you and I know that sounds wrong but it's the truth. I love you Brooke Davis" Lucas said while looking at her, hoping that that she would feel the same way. He had laid his heart on the line for her, he just hoped she didn't trample on it.

She loved him, she knew that and he had just confessed his love for her, a few weeks ago she couldn't even imagine this in her wildest dreams but now, now it was a reality. Brooke didn't know what came over her but she found herself getting closer and closer and then their lips connected once more and she just couldn't stop it. Lucas couldn't believe it, she loved him, she actually loved him, after all he had done to her it wasn't too late, there was still a chance for them. He was so relieved he had not completely screwed things up, she was giving him another shot.

After a major make out session Lucas laid Brooke on the bed and kissed her goodnight, Brooke made herself comfortable and turned away trying to get some sleep, just as Lucas was about to shut the door he heard Brooke mumble "Goodnight boyfriend" and a grin appeared on his face, it had been so long since she had called him that and boy did it feel great. Brooke tossed and turned, she just could not sleep, maybe it was because of all the excitement or maybe because of the baby, she just didn't know but whatever it was it was preventing her from getting her beauty sleep. She made her way to the kitchen to get a nice hot drink, hoping that it might help her get back to sleep.

"Brooke what are you doing up?" Lucas asked rubbing his eyes as he walked into the kitchen. He has heard movement in there and wondered what it was

"I couldn't sleep so thought I would make myself a drink" Brooke said

"Why can't you sleep?" Lucas said a bit concerned

"I don't know, I wish I knew" she replied

They sat and finished their drinks and then Brooke headed back to Lucas's bedroom.

"Lucas you don't have to if you don't want to but do you mind if you just lay with me" Brooke asked, she liked being his arms, it was like her safe place and she always used to fall asleep quickly in his arms.

"Sure anything to help you" Lucas said. Finally things were getting good again.

Sure enough Brooke fell asleep rather quickly in Lucas's arms. She felt so safe with him, no other guy had ever made her feel that way. Lucas looked at her as she slept, she was just so gorgeous, he couldn't remember when he was last this happy.

Meanwhile back at Haley's/Nathan's place

"Do you really thing you should have just left Brooke there?" Haley said

"Yeah she'll be fine, Lucas said he was going over there so no doubt he helped her" Nathan said

"Well hopefully they have got things back on track now" Haley said

"Speaking of getting back on track how bout we resume where we left of before Brooke called" Nathan said as he grabbed Haley and pulled her onto the bed with him

"And what makes you think I would want to" Haley said playing hard to get

"Well not many people can resist this body Hales, trust me you'll be missing out" Nathan said

"Not many people, huh, well maybe I'm one of them" Haley said and with that left the bedroom

"Hales where are you going? Come back, I want you so bad" Nathan called

"I want you so badly too" Haley said as she walked back in the room and climbed on top of Nathan. Nathan just knew it was gonna be an awesome night.

Peyton's House

Lucas hadn't called her in ages and she didn't want to look desperate and keep on ringing him, how pathetic would that look, Peyton thought. She was so happy when her and Lucas got together but for some reason this had kinda become rather stale, maybe that was her fault or maybe it just wasn't to be, maybe he didn't love her as much as she loved him, who knew! Brooke still had not spoken to her, it had been weeks now and not a word, she didn't understand how Brooke seemed to have forgiven Lucas and not just forgive him but actually be friends with him and yet with her, nothing! Maybe she should make the first move Peyton thought but then again maybe she was just going to get another door slammed in her face. All she knew was that something had to be done, cos she needed her best friend, or ex best friend.

Morning came, another day at school ahead, Brooke went to turn over and was faced with an empty space next to her, a space where Lucas had been last night. Brooke looked around her wondering where he was, and then the door swung open and in walked Lucas with just a towel around his waste. Woah did he look hot, Brooke though, she couldn't help but stare at his gorgeous body

"Hey pretty girl, how long you been awake?" Lucas asked

Brooke had completely zoned out and was still staring at his chest

"Earth to Brooke, why are just staring at me?" Lucas asked but knowing exactly why

Brooke was caught rather off guard

"I…erm…sorry……I just kinda spaced out, I think I am gonna go have a shower myself" Brooke said

"You need some help?" Lucas asked knowing that she would have trouble keeping her balance on only one foot while showering

"Erm……yeah I guess that would be good thanks Luke" Brooke said

As she was attempting to get dressed after her shower Lucas walked in the room

"Hey I noticed that your bandages needed tightening earlier so how bout I sort them out for you" Lucas said

"Yeah thanks Luke" Brooke said as he began to unwind her current bandages and wrap new bandages round her ribs and tape them up

"Ow" Brooke was trying to keep quiet but her ribs really hurt

"Oh I am so sorry Brooke, I will loosen them a bit, I guess they are still pretty sore" Lucas said, while trying not to hurt her as he finished taping the ribs up.

"There, all done" Lucas said "Right I'm just gonna talk to my mum and then I'm ready to go"

"Speaking of talking to your mum, we are going to have tell her about the fact that I'm pregnant" Brooke said looking anxiously at Lucas

"Soon, I hate lying to her Brooke and she will probably notice something's up soon" Lucas replied, he just felt so guilty, he and his mum had always had a rather honest relationship, they didn't really do secrets.

"Yeah I know what you mean, I'm not sure I can hide all the morning sickness and everything from her for long" Brooke replied

"Well we'll tell her together when we get home then" Lucas replied, it was better to have it all out in the open, he just hoped his mum didn't freak out like she did with Brooke's first pregnancy scare.

It had been another long boring say at school and the only thing Lucas and Brooke had thought about all day was how they were going to tell Karen, and how she would take it. Brooke and Lucas walked in to the kitchen and there was Karen looking through some recipe books at the table. Lucas and Brooke both took a seat at the table.

"Hey you two, did you have a good day at school?" Karen asked without looking up

"Mum there's something we need to tell you" Lucas said in a rather serious tone.

Karen immediately looked up at both Brooke and Lucas trying to think of what they possibly had to tell her.

"What's happened?" Karen asked terrified of what they were going to say, she could tell from their faces that it was really serious

Lucas held Brooke's hand under the table sensing she was scared and hoping to reassure her

"Brooke's pregnant, I'm gonna be a father" Lucas blurted out and looked at his mum trying to read how she was feeling

"You both are so young, are you even ready to be parents cos believe me its not easy, how far gone are you?" Karen asked turning to face Brooke

"About 5 weeks" Brooke replied, " I know this must have come as a big shock for you but we love each other and we are determined to make it work, we know its going to be hard but we are prepared to work at it" Brooke added hoping to make Karen see that they were not making a mistake

"Well I guess I don't have any other option but to support you then" Karen conceded, she knew that if she withdrew her support then she risked losing her son and she couldn't do that, he meant everything to her and anyway now she was going to be a grandma and her son was going to need all the help he could get.

"Thank mum" Lucas said rather relieved that his mum had not freaked out on them, it had actually gone a lot better than he had expected really.

Karen went round and gave Brooke a hug, Lucas just looked at his mother hugging his girlfriend, he smiled to himself, they were just one happy family, well for now anyway
