A/N-This chapter is all Brooke and Julian…mostly because I think it's time for them to have a deep conversation…don't know if what I wrote is deep…I'll leave that to you.

With Sam in LA, Julian and Brooke have been spending more time together. To both of them it feels like it was in high school, only without Brooke being pregnant, although most of the time that they have met it was business talk only.

"So, there are home and away game Ravens jersey's and for the popular kids, if you want to keep it realistic, cheerleading uniforms, letterman jackets and a lot of jeans," Brooke says as she puts her designs down.

"Well, clearly you have this under control."

"Brooke Davis will be particularly easy to dress."

"Why because she spent most of high school naked?"

"No jerk because I still have all of her clothes."

"Ah, I see," Julian says with a smile.

"Now that that is taken care of we can talk."

"Brooke, I hate to burst your bubble but we are talking."

"We were talking business. I want to talk to you about your life."

Julian sits down on the couch next to Brooke.

"Sam's my life."

"I know."

"I actually have something for you," Julian states as he digs through his bag.

"What is it?" Brooke asks excitedly.

"Here," Julian says as he hands Brooke a picture. "I took it while you two were sleeping. I couldn't help myself."

Brooke looks from Julian to the picture in her hands. It was the picture Julian took when Sam was sick.

"Thank-you."

"It's not a problem Brooke."

Brooke gets up from the couch and pins the picture to her refrigerator.

"Alright, let's talk," Julian states.

"How are your parents?" Brooke asks.

"Um…they're okay. Dad is still his usual self. Mm is great though. My dad calls Sam a few times a month but my mom calls her once a week."

"So Sam has a good relationship with your mom?"

"Yeah, it's pretty decent."

"At least she has a relationship with one of her grandparents."

"Sam told me about your mom," Julian states with a sad smile.

"I have to apologize for that…she was totally out of line. I can't believe she dug into your lives."

"It's not your fault Brooke. I know Victoria. Do you remember what she said when we told her you were pregnant?"

Brooke and Julian were sitting in Brooke's living room across from Victoria Davis. Both teens were extremely nervous.

"Well, what do you have to tell me?" Victoria says agitated.

"Um…Julian and I…well we are…" Brooke starts to say nervously as Julian grabs a hold of her hand.

"You better not be engaged. You can do better than him."

"Actually, Mrs. Davis, we're not," Julian states honestly.

"I'm pregnant," Brooke blurts out.

Silence fills into the room for a few moments. Victoria takes a sip of her alcohol and sets it on the table.

"At 16, you ruined your life…I didn't know I had a stupid daughter."

"With all due respect, that's uncalled for," Julian states calmly.

"Brooke, do everyone a favor and get rid of it," Victoria states bitterly before walking out of the room.

Brooke looks at Julian.

"Yeah, I remember," Brooke says softly.

Julian takes Brooke's hand and squeezes it and then let's it go.

"I'm glad you didn't listen to her."

"Me too," Brooke looks at Julian and smiles. "Alright, producer boy…how's your love life?"

Julian raises and eyebrow and smiles.

"It's non-existent…why, you want to go for a ride?" Julian asks with a smirk.

"Julian…that's just…that was…"

"A funny joke?"

"Yeah, well that funny jokes ending result was a baby 15 years ago."

"True…anyway, the last relationship I had was with Peyton."

Brooke nods her head in understanding.

"How did that come about anyway?" Brooke asks curiously.

"Well, I met Peyton when I was 18, so Sam was about 3…we were friends at first and I could tell that Peyton instantly took a liking to Sam…anyways, we didn't start dating until I was 19, but we didn't last long because she was still in love with Lucas. We were able to part as friends but Peyton made sure we stayed in touch for Sam and then our friendship just grew from there…I haven't had a relationship since."

"That's really something…so; you really haven't dated for 12 years?"

"No, I haven't had a relationship for 12 years…there's a difference."

"If it makes you feel better, I haven't either."

"It doesn't," Julian replies honestly. "The only girl that has been constant in my life has been Sam."

Brooke smiles at Julian genuinely.

"You're a great father Julian. I see you with Sam and I can't help but feel jealous. I mean I never had that growing up. You're bond with her is amazing…nothing can tear it apart."

"Well thanks I guess, but Brooke you have the potential to get that bond because you are becoming a great mother even if you are late to join, but you're wrong about one thing."

Brooke looks at Julian confusingly.

"What am I wrong about?"

"Something almost tore my relationship with Sam apart."

"What was it?"

"Cheerleading," Julian says with a chuckle.

"Why?" Brooke asks with an eyebrow raised.

"The outfits are too short. Their moves can be way too sexual…" Brooke starts to laugh and Julian continues. "And because you were a cheerleader."

"I see," Brooke says quietly.

"At first I think Sam did it to get a rise out of me but I had told her no…she wouldn't talk to me for a week. When I finally gave in and she tried it, she fell in love with it…and I would watch her and all I saw was you. It was beautiful, it still is and you still are."

Brooke blushes and turns her head. Julian grabs her chin and tilts her head in the direction he is facing.

"Brooke, I really want to kiss you right now," Julian whispers softly.

"What are you waiting for? Kiss me," Brooke whispers.

Julian leans forward and brings his hand to Brooke's cheek as he moves his lips in sync with Brooke's.

A/N-How about that ending huh? Hope you liked it. I know I did…Plenty more to come.
