Brooke tapped her freshly manicured nails on the marble of her kitchen counter tops. Lucas had been gone for a few hours now. She contemplated taking Juliet by Haley and Nathan's so she could drop by Lucas' house to see if everything was okay. He'd promise to be back by dinner.
"Are you okay momma?" Juliet exited her bedroom with one Barbie in each hand.
Brooke snapped out of her own thoughts at the sound of her daughter's sweet voice.
"I'm okay sweetie. I'm just trying to decide what we should eat for dinner." Brooke stood up straight and smiled down at her daughter. "Got any ideas?"
Juliet tapped her chin with her index finger, "Hamburgers?"
Brooke smiled, "Hamburgers it is!"
Brooke turned away from her daughter and sighed lightly as she opened the fridge to get out the hamburger meat.
Juliet played with her Barbies in the floor of the living room. Brooke didn't notice Lucas arrival until Juliet squealed.
"Daddy!" Juliet dropped her Barbies and greeted her father at the door with a giant hug.
Brooke jumped at the sound of her daughter's squeal. But she couldn't help but smile when she saw Lucas and Juliet embracing in a bear hug.
"Hey Luke." Brooke called out from her position near the stove before going back to making the hamburger patties.
"Hey beautiful ladies." Lucas greeted both women. He turned back to Juliet and said softly, "I have a question for you." He kneeled down on one knee and pulled the ring box from his coat pocket, "Do you mind if I give your momma this ring and ask to marry her?"He opened the box for Juliet to take a peak.
Juliet clapped her tiny hands to her face. "It's so pretty! Momma would love that!"
Lucas put his index finger to his lips, "Sh! Let's go surprise her together!"
Lucas and Juliet walked hand in hand to the kitchen.
"Momma! Daddy and I would like to ask you something." Juliet tried to pushed her father forward.
Brooke turned around to find Lucas and Juliet standing together. She laughed when she saw Juliet trying to push Lucas.
"What are you doing to your daddy?" Brooke put her hands on her hips.
"He has to ask you something!" Juliet said between struggles to push Lucas.
Lucas and Brooke laughed together.
"What is Luke?" Brooke raised an eyebrow.
Lucas kneeled down one on knee in front of Brooke and pulled the ring box from his coat pocket.
Out of the corner of her eye she could see her daughter trying to tell her to look surprised, but her vision blurred because of tears forming in her eyes.
"Brooke Davis! I want us to be together forever." Lucas peeled open the ring box. "Will you marry me?"
Brooke nodded her head, tears falling down her cheeks. "Yes!"
"Yes?" Lucas jumped up from his knee.
"Yes!" Brooke and Juliet said in unison.
Lucas took the ring and slid it onto Brooke's ring finger. He took Brooke's face into his hands and kissed her soft lips over and over again. The couple hugged but Lucas broke away from the hug to pick up Juliet. The family embraced with a group hug.
"My girls!" Lucas smiled and spun around with Juliet in his arms.
Brooke smiled at Lucas and Juliet then down at her ring.
"It's beautiful!" She mumbled to herself.
Lucas heard Brooke and he stopped spinning.
"I'm glad you like it." He sat a dizzy Juliet back down on the floor and kissed his new fiancé. "It's Keith's ring."
Brooke's eyes lit up. "Are you sure he wanted me to have this? Didn't he think I was crazy?"
Lucas laughed and shook his head, "He loved you Brooke and so do I!" He kissed Brooke again. "I love you Brooke Penelope Davis!"
"Brooke Penelope Davis-Scott!" Brooke playfully corrected him.
"Ah yes, how could I forget it?" Lucas wrapped his arms around his bride to be. "I can't wait to see you walking down that aisle towards me. It'll be a dream come true."
Brooke smiled and brushed her lips against his. "Oh that's funny because I was thinking the same thing. It will be a dream come true for me to walk down the aisle towards you Lucas Scott."
She searched his eyes and found so much love and so much happiness. He truly loved her and she truly loved him.
"It's a dream come true for me too!" Juliet added in.
"Oh yeah? Well it'd be a dream come true for me to become to tickle monster!" Lucas put his hands up in the air and wiggled his fingers at his daughter.
"Mom! You told him about the tickle monster?"Juliet crossed her arms across her chest, "That doesn't scare me anymore!"
"Oh yeah? We'll see about that!" Lucas began tickling his daughter.
"Hey I want to play too!" Brooke called out from the kitchen.
Lucas whispered to Juliet, "Let's go tickle your momma!"
Juliet and Lucas charged Brooke and both began to tickle her. The three of them laughed together all night. By the end of the night Juliet was too tired to get through a movie with her parents so they sent her off to bed.
"Alone at last!" Lucas said quietly as he closed the door to Juliet's bedroom.
Brooke was seated on the couch with a bowl of popcorn in her lap and the remote in her hand.
"I have a much better idea for movie night." Lucas whispered into Brooke's ear.
Brooke smiled, "Oh really?" She moved the bowl of popcorn and dropped the remote.
She got up from her position on the couch to face Lucas.
"No I was just kidding!" Lucas laughed and plopped down onto the couch.
"You're so mean!" Brooke hit him with a pillow and sat down next to him.
She looked over at him flipping through the movie channels and got an idea. She snatched the remote from his hand.
"Brooke!" Lucas exclaimed. "What are you doing?"
Brooke got up from the couch and walked seductively back to her bedroom, stopping she turned to face Lucas. "Come and see!" She unzipped her dress with one hand and let it fall to the floor.
Lucas jumped up from the couch and raced to Brooke. She squealed and ran into her bedroom. Lucas followed her and closed the bedroom door behind him. They spent their first night together as an official couple.
Brooke woke up in the middle of the night and looked over to find a naked Lucas sleeping peacefully. She gently kissed his forehead and lied back down. This man has brought her so much happiness and joy. She felt lucky that she would be waking up to him every morning.
