Here's the next chapter... Enjoy
...
The room was silent as Karen and Victoria stood squared off, face to face. "How dare you slap me" she yelled appalled "You don't know me and you have no right to lay your dirty-filthy middle-class hand on me" Brooke closed her eyes mortified to Victoria's words as gasps went all around
"Hey now" roared Keith as Karen stopped him
"You're right, I don't know you" she said nodding her head "But how dare you slap your own daughter. She may be 24 years old, pregnant but she's a smart, incredible-selfless woman who's very capable of making her own decisions. From what I've heard, she's done amazingly well off without you or your husband's guidance throughout her life." Brooke couldn't take her eyes off Karen as she silently watched in awe; the women who she thought hated her only defend her. "I will not stand here and allow you to tear down nor lay another hand on my son's beautiful fiancée, mother of my unborn grandchild- my soon to be daughter in law again."
"Why don't we all just sit down and talk about this rationally, like adults" suggested May as she stepped in between the two fuming mothers, neither one backing down.
Victoria was livid. "Of course you're his mother" she spat out bitterly holding Karen's angry stare "You must be so proud of your basketball player of a son" Everyone was curious what she was getting at
"Oh dear god" shouted Brooke out loud in her head. She knew exactly where Victoria was heading with this as she was beyond horrified-utterly sick to her stomach just thinking about what was going to come out of the vicious woman's mouth next.
"For the fact that he's following in your footsteps" sneer Victoria If looks could only kill, she'd be dead within seconds "Yeah I heard all about you Karen Roe- Scott; getting pregnant at the age of 17 and having a child out of wedlock" gasps, anger, and shock filled the room "not to mention jumping from one Scott bro-"
"Shut up Victoria" snapped Brooke outraged, cutting her off as all eyes were now averted to her. "Don't you dare finish that sentence" she said shaking her head appalled. "I will not allow you to walk into my house and insult my family" she hissed
"Your family?" she questioned flabbergasted as if she heard the brunette wrong.
"Did I stutter?" she pressed "Because if you think I did, I can say it again you know, with more clarification of certainty."
"I see someone's grown a back bone since I've been gone" she observed smirking "Since it looks like you're the one who seems to be a little lost and confused, let me give you some of my own clarification of certainty my dear" she mocked as Brooke rolled her eyes in annoyance "These people" she said using her fingers to make an oval shape in the air while outlining the group "Aren't your family. This pathetic town isn't your home. Your father and I, we are your family and NY is your home. Do we have an understanding?"
"No" she replied crossing her arms at her chest "You and Richard are the last people I would call my family"
Victoria's mouth dropped open "How dare you speak to me, your mother that way"
"Mother?" she laughed as if it was the craziest thing she's ever heard "You have never once acted like a mother to me, and now you decide to call yourself my mother; My Mother- are you freaking serious?!Do you even hear yourself? Do you understand how ridiculous that word sounds coming out of your mouth?"
"Lets' turn the drama queen down a notch dear, it's not very flattering on you" she replied crossing her arms at her chest as she received a deathly glare from her daughter. "And lets' not forget that I carried you for 9 horrible months Brooke; 9 horrible months! I brought you into this world and I sure as hell can take you out of it; so watch your mouth" she sneered
"Is that a threat Bitchtoria?"
"Was I talking to you druggie?"
"Stop calling her that" Brooke lashed out as Victoria rolled her eyes "Can you actually act like someone with a heart?"
"Well, can you act like an adult instead of a child and have a real conversation with me" she replied "I rushed here, leaving my expensive trip early so I can clean up your damn mess. We don't have much time to spin things around to salvage your name since the damn media got their hands on the info already"
"Stop acting like a child; spin things around?" she asked in disbelief. "Do you even remember my childhood huh; because if my recollection is accurate, which it is-you weren't there, neither one of you were. You only came around when I put together my business; and that's because I called you!"
"What more do you want Brooke, huh? Your father and I gave you everything any child or teenager could ask for. Stocked back accounts, high credit card limits, no curfews, freedom-"
"What about love?" Victoria rolled her eyes as everyone in the room listened silently. "18 years of my life, you and Richard threw cash at me and sent me on my way. Never once have you celebrated a birthday with me, let alone sit down and have breakfast, lunch or dinner with me. Never once have I shared secrets or gone shopping with you like a mother and daughter would do. Never once have you helped me get ready for a school dance, or even prom. When I, Brooke Penelope Davis got elected for School President, School President you and Richard were no where to be seen, not to mention you both weren't there the day I graduated high school" Karen had tears weld up in her eyes as she listened on "And when I went to you all excited and determined about wanting to start my own C/B's business, you told me that it was a joke. A freaking, hilarious, laugh out loud stupid joke" she said chuckling as tears streamed down her cheeks.
"Well it was a joke dear; you started your business" she said using air quotations "out of your apartment junior year while still in high school, high school. You weren't even that serious about it"
"How would you know if you weren't there for me?" Victoria crossed her arms at her chest "The only joke on my behalf was appointing you as my CEO" Victoria's mouth dropped open not the slightest pleased
"Tigger, why don't you uh sit down; you're looking kind of pale"
"I'm fine Hales" she smiled weakly before turning back to her mother "And for the record, I don't need you to be spinning things around or pulling strings on my behalf to clean up my mess" she said using air quotations. "I'm 24 years old, engaged, about to have a baby, not to mention I own my own company- I make my own decisions, not you; besides Lucas and I will figure it out on our own together."
"This isn't you Brooke" she said as they locked eyes "You would never speak to me like this; w-what have they done to you" Brooke sighed "Y-You people are ruining my daughter's life, and I won't allow it. It's like you've brainwashed her into thinking like a middle class person. I will not watch my daughter" she said as she emphasized daughter "ruin her life by throwing all her dreams, accomplishments and talents out the window for that boy and that unborn child" she yelled glaring at Lucas as she turned back to face Karen. "Pregnant at the age of 24 and unmarried is unacceptable in the Davis household" she scoff "Do you know how bad that looks to the public, huh?" she roared "24 year old, Multimillion dollar fashion designer Brooke Davis has child out of wedlock?!" she exclaimed "NO!" she snapped as she shook her head furiously like a crazy person "I will not stand by and let you all destroy Brooke's life" she said grabbing her arm tightly
"What the-" she tried saying but was cut off
"Brooke Penelope Davis, you listen, and you listen to me good. You are going back to New York with me whether you like it or not and you will have that abortion."
"The hell she is" lashed out Lucas "Brooke and I created our child together out of love" he said trying to make it sound real as possible as he walked over and extended his hand to her which she willingly accepted causing him to smile "We already made our decision to keep our baby so stay the hell out of it!" he shouted "Like Brooke said Mrs. Davis "We will figure this out on our own together"
Anger was written all over Victoria's face as she ignored the blonde gripping Brooke's arm tighter. "I will have someone other than you run the TH branch while you focus on your designs and sketches not to mention the NY Head Corp. Your life will go back to the way it used to be before you met that boy! I will not allow you to raise a child by yourself while he jumps from one bed to another with some random slut once you get fat" Lucas was beyond furious as she could feel it through their intertwined fingers "You will stay away from those two blood sucking leeches over there you call friends and not to mention these people! You have way too much riding on your life right now, than to fall in love and live this ridiculous middle class life style" she said talking with her hands "This isn't your life Brooke, none of it is. Your life is in NY with your multi-million dollar cooperation and that's where you're going to be. I can't believe you actually opened up a store here in this god for saking town. Your father and I are so disappointed in you" she said rambling as she wouldn't let Brooke get a word in "We shouldn't have left for that damn Bermuda trip; do you know how bad this is" she cursed as she ignored all the eyes in the room as she started dragging Brooke towards the door; causing Brooke's hands to slip from Lucas's.
He wasn't going to lose her; he wasn't going to let her go- not now, not ever. He instantly wrapped his hand around her wrist causing mother and daughter to come to a halt by the door as Victoria's blood boiled with rage "Brooke-"
"I am your mother and you are going to listen to me even if I have to drag you out of here myself. You're a Davis, and Davis's are high class-wealthy people. We live in mansions with butlers and maids. We have chauffeurs who drive us around in our expensive cars, and we vacation at exotic places not to mention on yachts top notch. We don't need love as long as we have money, power and class; we associate with other high cl-" Lucas then slid his hand into hers; giving her a gentle squeeze as she smiled not once taking her eyes off the queen bitch.
"You just don't get it-" she said once again interrupting Victoria as she wiggled out of the grip she had over her.
"What, W-What don't I get Brooke; huh? Please enlighten me and explain to me what the hell I don't get!" she snapped as she was tired of this back and forth bantering between them.
"You don't get that it's not all about money, wealth, power, or class for me. You don't get that I'm not you! I didn't vacation in high places with fake people with you and Richard, I haven't lived in your mansion for the past 8 years, and I didn't get chauffeured around in fancy cars in high school; for crying out loud I owned a blue freaking convertible Volkswagen beetle, beetle. Not a Mercedes, Lexus, BMW or any other high class" she said using air quotes "expensive car. You don't get that I-"
"No, you're right; I don't get it. I don't get how you had the lifestyle every girl your aged wanted or envy for, but instead you stupidly, stupidly emancipated yourself from us" she roared as everyone was in shock
"Emancipated" whispered Nathan, Haley and Jake taken back as their mouths dropped open
"No wonder BDavis is so normal" added Skillz
"Actually that's the smartest thing I think Brooke did" said Karen as she walked over and wrapped her arms around the remarkable brunette she was soon to be calling her daughter in law. "Unlike you, Brooke will be an amazing mother to her child. Her mentality and perspective on how she wants life to be is astonishing to hear. Just listening to what you and your husband put her through makes me want to ring your neck" Victoria crossed her arms at her chest as the two glared each other down "All she ever wanted was your love and as her parents you denied her of that; and for that" said Karen pushing a strand of hair behind Brooke's ears "I seriously just want to kick your sorry high class ass right about now"
"You go Mrs. Roe-Scott; kick her sorry crazy high class ass" yelled Skillz as everyone silently chuckled
"Having a child is the most amazing feeling in the world and watching him, her, them" she smiled "grow up is priceless. You robbed Brooke of her childhood and that's something she'll never get back. You called her friends blood sucking leeches but in my eyes, you're the only blood sucking leech I see Victoria Davis. Instead of giving her love, comfort and support all you gave and saw was money, power and class. These girls were there for each other, and how their parents" she said glaring at Victoria "left them alone to grow up-unguided sure beats the hell out of me"
"That's the Karen Roe everyone's been talking about" smiled Brooke as tears welded up in her eyes
"Like I said, we're high class people and that's just who we are. I didn't expect you or any of you people to understand that, so don't you dare criticize my parenting skills. My husband and I, as well as the Sawyers and Gatinas' give our children everything we think they'll possibly need even if they turn out to be screw ups-" Everyone was once again surprised to hear that Rachel and Peyton's families were right up there with the Davis's. What they didn't understand was why Victoria disliked the other two girls.
"Peyton?" whispered Jake as she nodded unable to look at him "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Everything they'll possibly need? Wow. You gave them all the materialistic things in life, and I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that but Brooke's right, what about Love; to be loved, to be in love and to give love huh? Love is something you teach, learn and grow from. Love is the key to happiness. Sure I agree that having money is important but money isn't everything, it can't buy happiness-"
"Enough with this Brady bunch crap already" she barked "I don't need to be preached on love nor do I need to be lectured on parenting. We raise our children differently and seeing that you've brained washed my daughter with this sentimental-love crap-"
"GET OUT VICTORIA!" roared Brooke as she had enough. It was like she was talking to a brick wall; no matter what she said Victoria wasn't getting it. They were just going into circles and it was getting old. "JUST GET OUT"
"Gladly, get your stuff" she ordered
"I'm not leaving"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" she asked through gritted teeth
"I said I'm not leaving" she replied with no hesitation in her voice as Victoria was beyond livid. "I'm staying right here in Tree Hill where I'm going to run my new store as well as hopefully raise my child. Like I said earlier-I'm 24years old, engaged, and happily pregnant" she smiled as she and Lucas locked eyes. "I'm not abandoning my Head Corp because while I'm here, my CEO Rachel is in charge" Rachel winked at her as they smiled at one another "I will be traveling back and forth between the two places until my OBGYN tells me I can't. I'm not a child anymore Victoria, I emancipated myself from you when I was 17. I'm not going to allow you to run my life, my Company/Corp nor make any more decisions or tear me down like you have my entire life in that matter. You've wasted your time in rushing back"
"I've had enough of this game of cat and mouse Brooke" she sighed aggravated "I'm tired and ready to get back to NY. Our flight leaves in just about" she turns her wrist to check her watch "Damn it" she cursed "We have 45minutes to pack your bags and get to the airport. So start moving" she added motioning towards the stairs
"Well there's the door; don't let it hit you on the way out" Victoria didn't budge "GET OUT and take that smirking jackass with you"
"Watch it Ms. Davis" growled Dan as he glared at her angry. "Don't think for a second, that I'll take any lip from you"
"You are just as bad as Victoria" she retorted as Lucas wrapped his arm around her shoulder. He knows how uncomfortable his sperm donor makes her feel. "I don't appreciate you hunting down Victoria and Richard just so you can pry into my life Mr. Scott. I know you love getting the press and media involved; hoping they'd catch me fail just because you think I ruined Lucas's life by trapping him with this baby." Dan glared at her "I mean we all know you resent Haley because she and Nathan fell in love and he too emancipated himself from you; but Lucas and Nathan aren't you and I'm not Victoria- we'll never be you. I don't have any skeletons in my closet so you can stop digging and causing trouble. You need to understand that I only share my life with people who matter and who are important to me; and since neither of you two fall under that category, I suggest you both get the hell out of my house. Neither one of you two are welcomed in our home" she yelled this time raising her voice as she felt really light headed almost losing her balance
"Brooke" they gasp
"I'm fine" she smiled trying her best to reassure them.
"You're not fine pretty girl" he said cupping her cheeks "It's not good for you or the baby if you get all worked up" she sighed as he rubbed gentle circles along her back "Remember what the doctor said?" she nodded as she recapped Dr. Cordova's visit "Baby Scott is approx between 13-17mm in length so in the next couple of weeks you'll notice your body changing even more. The first 3 months of pregnancy is the most critical, so anything you do not only affects you, but it affects baby Scott too so that means no stressing out" "I need you to take it easy and not let her; them upset you okay" he said as his voice brought her back into reality.
"I'm sorry" she murmured against his chest inhaling his scent of axe she grew to love so much. "I'm sorry she's such a bitch Luke" she whispered as they silently chuckled between themselves as the others watched on.
"Well I'm sorry Dan's such a jackass" she smiled as he brushed his lips against her forehead "I think its' best they" she took a deep breath nodding along. "Alright, I think its best you both left" said Lucas "I think we've all had enough of you for one life time"
"Trust me, it'll be my pleasure" she snipped "But I'm not leaving without my daughter" Brooke opened her eyes to the sound of Victoria's voice but not removing herself from Lucas's embrace.
"Take a deep breath" he whispered once he felt her tense up in his arms. She nodded
"GET OUT"
"BROOKLY-" she cringed to the use of her full first name
"NO!" she yelled cutting her off "GET THE HELL OUT, AND DON'T COME BACK!"
Karen had enough "Lucas, take Brooke upstairs and get her into bed now" he nodded "She's had enough unpleasant excitement for the day. Girls get Brooke some food; knowing her she hasn't had anything in her system" Brooke diverted her eyes to the floor as Karen was right. She was too focused on everything else she barley ate anything all day "We will talk about that later young lady" she scolded as Brooke sheepishly nodded
"Don't you dare walk up those stairs" she hissed as Brooke ignored her "BROOKYLN PENELOPE DAVIS" she yelled as Brooke stopped closing her eyes as she kept her back towards her mother. "IF YOU DON'T TURN AROUND AND COME DOWN THIS INSTANT, YOU AND I-WE'RE DONE! DONE, DO YOU HEAR ME?!" Lucas watched as tears streamed down her cheeks as the room once again fell silent. "DON'T BOTHER CALLING YOURSELF A DAVIS BECAUSE I WILL HAVE NO DAUGHTER OF MINE DISRESPECTING ME LIKE THIS!!" Brooke took a deep breath as she was going to take that last step to the top of the stairs.
"Thank you" she said turning around locking eyes with her mother as everyone kept their eyes on her utterly confused "Thank you for opening my eyes and making me realize that you can't change nor will you change. Thank you for making me realize that you will always be that cold hearted, knieving, very ungrateful-controlling Bitch I grew up to hate and vowed never to be" Victoria's mouth dropped open "I didn't need you growing up and I sure as hell don't need you now. I will never, I repeat NEVER allow my child to experience my horrible, horrible childhood" she said as tears continued to stream down her cheeks "He or she will never know the feeling of being unloved, resented or neglected. He or she will ONLY be surrounded by people who will love him or her unconditionally like there's no tomorrow. I will not allow you to tear me down by killing me slowly inside anymore. If you want to disown me; shun me from being a DAVIS then by all means please do, because you just made it so much easier for me to let you go" she took a deep breath as everyone listened on "You're FIRED Victoria" gasps and shock went all around the room as Victoria's eyes filled with fury "You will no longer be apart of my Company nor apart of my life. I will notify corporation of my decision first thing tomorrow morning. We're through, you're free to go" she said as she left a very stunned, angry-appalled feisty mama Davis behind"
"This isn't over Brooke" she yelled as she watched Brooke disappear behind doors
"Guys, please show the trash out" they nodded as Dan glared at her.
"Dan" said Nathan holding the door open as they watched him storm out. The guys then migrated towards the backyard as Nathan and Skillz got into a game of one on one to clear their head and thoughts of what just happened. Jake waited patiently for Peyton as they both knew they needed to talk.
As soon as they entered their bedroom, she broke down into tears as the days event came rushing to her.
"Brooke-"
"I-C-CAN'T-BREATHE" she cried holding her stomach as tears flooded her eyes spilling down her cheeks as Lucas rushed over and threw his arms around her rubbing circles along her back "I-I-KNOW-IT'S-S-STUPID-THAT-I'M-CRYING; I-M-MEAN-SHE'S-NOT-EVEN-W-WORTH-IT" she started rambling
"Sssshhhh, Sssshhhh I've got you; you're okay"
"WHY-COULDN'T-SHE-JUST-LOVE-ME-LUKE; LIKE-THE-WAY-YOUR-MOM-AND-KEITH-LOVE-YOU-AND-LILY-OR-THE-WAY-HALEY-AND-NATHAN-LOVE-JIMMIJAM? AM-I-THAT-HARD-TO-LOVE?" she sobbed as it broke his heart
"Oh Brooke, you are the easiest person to love. You're smart, beautiful, caring, selfless; you're amazing Brooke" she smiled as tears continued to fall "You have one of the biggest hearts, not to mention you always give people the benefit of the doubt. You're going to be an amazing mother to our baby; you are nothing like her and you'll never be her. Remember that okay pretty girl?" He said wiping away her tears as they locked eyes. "I know things are messy and scary not to mention they're coming all at us at once but we need to stick together okay? Everything will be okay, you'll see. I promise you I will be there every step of the way. I'm nothing like your father Brooke, and I'll never be him"
"Brooke's my daughter Karen, not yours; don't forget that. You may have brainwashed her into staying in this pathetic town for now with your pathetic Brady bunch middle class family, but I will get her to return back to NY if it's the last thing I do."
"She's an adult; a beautiful, smart grown woman who's capable of making her own decisions; and after just now I think she's decided she doesn't want anything to do with you" Victoria sneered at her "She doesn't need you, me or anyone else in that matter telling her what to do. She's about to be a mother, about to have her own family; and if you hurt any one of them in any way" she hissed "I swear too god I'll never let you live it down"
"Don't you dare threatened me"
"It's not a threat; it's a promise. Now get the hell out or I'll throw you out myself personally"
"This isn't over Karen" she snapped before storming out
She didn't know why; well maybe it was the fact that he was saying sweet, and thoughtful-comforting things or the fact that he was acting all protective and loving that made her just want to kiss him. She just had too, and that's exactly what she did as she leaned up and pulled his lips onto hers, catching him by surprise as they shared a sweet kiss which turned heated and passionate within seconds. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he wrapped his around her waist lowering her gently onto the bed not once breaking the searing kiss. Once air became a necessity, they pulled apart gazing into each other's eyes lovingly without even realizing it-just then her cell phone went off
"I-I should get that" she said not breaking eye contact
"Yeah you should" he replied nodding as he brushed a strand of her hair out of her eyes as he couldn't help but stare into her beautiful greens a little longer; getting lost in them.
"Well if it's important they'll leave a message right?" he grinned as she flashed him her dimples that he loves so much.
"Right" he replied as he slowly leaned down taking her lips into his as they once again got lost into their passionate kiss.
"Hey slut" knocked Rachel as the pair broke apart "Millie's on the phone for you" they heard once their breathing came back to normal leaving their swollen-red lips to tingle. "Said she left you a message; something about a show?"
"The show; shoot!" she exclaimed as she closed her eyes as Lucas kept his locked on the beautiful brunette still in his arms
"Stop fooling around and open this door or I'll scream it out loud for every-" she heard footsteps darting towards the door as she held the phone out for her "Dude what took; never mind" she said waving it off once she saw their swollen-red lips.
"We weren't doing anything" she hissed causing both Rachel and Millie to laugh "Hi Millie; uh huh" she said pacing back and forth
"We weren't doing anything right" she smirked as Lucas blushed
"We weren't doing anything"
"Nothing huh?" she smirked as she eyed him curiously "If it was nothing, why are your lips so swollen and red?"
"Uh was that Nathan? Yeah it was-I'm going to go check on the guys and see how traumatized they are over; yeah okay bye" he said darting out the door as Rachel couldn't help but laugh
…
A week later
"So how are things with Brooke?" asked Nathan as he passed him the ball
"Good-the same as it's always been" he replied as he shot a 3 pointer as the guys eyed him curiously.
"Have you guys talked about the kiss?" asked Jake
"No" he shook his head "It's like, ugh- we see each other-we hang out, joke around, flirt at times, and talk about anything and everything but never about the kisses"
"Wait, kisses as in plural; like more than one dawg?" Lucas nodded his head as the guys smirked
"Do you have any idea of how she feels about all of it?" asked Jake
"No"
"Why don't you ask her; talk to her about it. Be the first one to bring it up" said Nathan
"I don't know" he sighed "I just don't want to complicate things. We're in a good place right now. We're having a baby, she seems to be happy and she lets me be near her without tearing my head off" they nodded
"But wouldn't you rather have the real thing with her and not just a psad of what it could be like?"
"Yeah all the time, but like I said- we're content right now."
"I don't know Luke" said Nathan "I honestly think you should talk to her about it" the other guys agreed
"Scott" shouted Chase as he picked up a spare basketball chucking it at the blonde's head; barely missing him "We need to talk"
"Dude that was cold dawg" shouted Skillz as their game of 2 on 2 came to a halt
"What do you want Adams" sneer Lucas "We have nothing to talk about since I said all I needed to say that night after my game"
"I'm here with Mr. Lucas Scott at the main area-Madison Square Garden, Sunday Night where the NY Knicks creamed the Boston Celtics 100-88. How does it feel to finally win a game after 5 consecutive losses?"
"It feels great" replied Lucas "I mean we practice hard, played hard and brought it hard. We were focused and determine to win this game just like every other game we played. Nathan and I couldn't be more proud of the guys. They did an awesome job tonight and we're praying to change our losing streak"
"We couldn't help but notice that your fiancée Ms. Brooke Davis wasn't at the game tonight like she has been for the last 4 previous games. Is it because of your losing streak that she stop coming?"
Lucas chuckled "No, it's not because of our losing streak" he replied "She actually has some really important things she had to take care of tonight. But I can assure you though that she's a true die hard NY Knick's fan" he smiled "If she can't make it to a game, or if she can't catch it on TV, she'd make sure she tivo'd it"
"You got that right Broody" smiled Brooke as she sat Indian style on the couch with her sketch book and catalogs in her lap
"Would this important stuff she's missing your game for be something as in wedding plans?"
Lucas stayed quiet as he thought about how to answer that question. "Yes, I'd say most definitely" he replied smiling from ear to ear.
"When can we expect this to happen?"
"Well, we were thinking about waiting till next year, but Brooke and I decided that we couldn't wait to be husband and wife; especially even more now since we're expecting a little bundle of joy" Huh, ha, gasps and awe's went all around
"You're lying" shouted Lindsey as all eyes and ears turned to her
"And you are?" asked the reporter as Lindsey ignored him
"You're lying Lucas Scott" she roared "She can't be pregnant; we were just dating a few months ago" all eyes and ears turned back to him as Brooke's mouth dropped open staring at the flat screen intently
"Care to respond?"
Lucas sighed as he shook his head in disbelief at her outburst. Of course Bevin had to bring her "We haven't been together for a little over a year now Lindsey. I'm in love with Brooke; she's the one for me. I'm sorry that you can't accept that but I've moved on and I think it's time you do too. I don't know how many more times I have to say it but it's been over between us for a long time" Lindsey glared at him
"Brookie's pregnant" squealed an excited Bevin as Skillz rushed over once he heard his girlfriend's voice "Baby did you know Brookie's pregnant?" Skillz's eyes opened wide as he mouthed his apologies while pulling his girlfriend away with him towards the awaiting limo.
"You're lying Lucas, I don't believe you" he sighed "It's suppose to be me and you"
"I'm sorry but believe what you want Lindsey. I'm not going to do this now or again. Well that's going to be all" he smiled turning back to the reporter "I've got a plane to catch, my beautiful fiancée is waiting for me at home to go over wedding details with me" Brooke caught herself smiling to his words as she stopped herself right away.
"Good luck to you and Ms Soon to be Brooke Davis Scott" he yelled after Lucas "Well, well, well. There you have it ladies and gentlemen. From the mouth of our very own Mr. Lucas Scott, Co-Captain of NY Knicks'. He and his very beautiful fiancée Ms. Brooke Davis, have a wedding in the works as well as expecting their first bundle of joy sometime this summer"
Just then out of no where Chase punched him in the mouth as it pulled him back into reality
"Hey man" shouted Nathan as he held Chase back just as Skillz jumped in the middle with Jake holding Lucas back "You're pathetic" he spat
"Why because I told the truth man?" he shouted "Not that it's any of your business or the fact that you've been in denial all this time- but Brooke and I, we're engaged, about to have a baby and our wedding plans are in the works. If you don't believe me, go ask her yourself."
"Oh trust me I will" he barked "And if this is all some made up bullshit so you can ruin her name and life, you better believe that there well be, hell to pay Lucas Scott; because I swear to you I will do everything in my power to sue your ass!"
"Ruin her name and life; what the hell are you insinuating Chase!" he asked fuming. "We got engaged way before she became pregnant with our child; my child so back the hell off. We love each other and we're about to have our own family. You need to respect that and seriously move on"
"Let me go" roared Chase as he darted towards Lucas who retaliated with the same amount of anger
"Hey, hey-I think its' best you leave Chase" roared Nathan
"I will not let you hurt her Scott. I know all about your type; thinking you're all" he said glancing from Nathan to Jake to Skill and back to Lucas. "Better than everyone just because you play pro ball-"
"Watch it Adams" cursed Skillz "Luke isn't the only one who wants to beat the shit out of you right now. You don't know a damn thing about us so shut the hell up!"
"I know you're just like the rest of those A-Listers; getting into vulnerable woman's hearts then breaking them into pieces once you get bored! You're all nothing but manwhores!"
"Oh that's fresh coming from you Adams" chuckled Nathan "Get the hell off our court or we'll seriously let Luke pound your ass"
"I won't lose Brooke to you Scott, I won't lose her again- remember that!" he barked before he stormed off
"You alright Luke?"
"Yeah I'm good" he replied rubbing his jaw "What a jackass"
"Dude you got your hands full with this one" said Jake
"Tell me about it" he sighed just as Fergie and Junk walked over.
"Alright lets' play ball"
...
"Mmmhhmm dinner was delicious Luke" smiled Brooke
"Yes it was Luke; never knew you could cook that well" smirked Rachel as she took a sip of her wine
"Well thanks ladies. Glad you enjoyed it" he replied
"Here, we'll take care of those Luke" said Brooke as she got up to her feet "You did enough for today" she smiled
"No, no sit down pretty girl, I got it. Why don't you go relax in the living room with Rach and I'll bring you some Ice cream in a bit. You've been on your feet all day" she smiled loving him pampering her
"Luke-"
"Okay" shouted Rachel as she got up to her feet
"Rach" sneered the brunette
"Okay I'm jealous" she scoffs "Why didn't you get me pregnant Luke?" joked Rachel as the trio broke out into laughter
"Well for starters, he prefers hot brunettes"
"That I do" replied Lucas nodding his head once Brooke playfully eyed him
"You're so whipped" coughed Rachel as Lucas threw a dish towel at her
"True, but red heads are a lot more exciting" retorted Rachel as Lucas and Brooke laughed
"And secondly you wouldn't ruin your figure in a million years" winked Brooke as Rachel nodded
"So, how about that ice cream?"
"Sure" Rachel smiled "After you do the dishes"
"I hate you slut"
"Hey you know our deal whore. Lucas cooks, you clean and I sit here and look pregnant happy"
"You're not even showing yet slut"
"I know, but I will soon" Lucas smiled. He couldn't wait till he could feel her baby bump "And besides we're feeding you and you're not even paying rent" she grinned as Rachel playfully gasp pretending to be offended by her best friends comment. "I'd say you got yourself a good deal there Rach" Just then there was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it" smiled Brooke "While you get the ice cream broody"
"Sounds good to me" he smiled
"How much do you want to bet its' Peyton saying she forgot her key again"
"But I thought she was staying at Jake's tonight" Brooke and Rachel shrugged
"Coming, coming" she yelled as she got to the door
"Hi Brooke"
"Chase hi" she smiled
"Adams?" mouthed Lucas as Rachel turned off the water. "What the hell is he doing here?" he barked putting down the ice cream
"Lucas" yelled Rachel as she wiped her hands with a dish towel scurrying after him
"Why the hell are you here? You know what, just leave the same way you came and we won't have a problem" he yelled as he made his way over towards them
"Luke, don't be so rude" scolded Brooke
"Look there's no point in fighting okay" added Rachel "We're all adults so lets' act like it"
"You're right Rach" replied Lucas "I mean after all Brooke and I are getting married in a month" he said wrapping his arm protectively around Brooke as Chase glowered at him
"Lucas" hissed Brooke
"Can we talk Brooke?"
"Sure" she smiled "How about we" she said glancing up at Lucas as she felt his arm gently grip her tighter around the waist pulling her closer against him "talk outside" Chase nodded
"Luke, let go" she whispered patting his arm as she watched the two guys angrily stare each other down. "Luke" she said once again as he finally released her not before pulling her in for a kiss which took her by surprise.
"Uh hum" coughed Chase as he cleared his throat wanting to badly beat Lucas black and blue for putting his lips on Brooke
"I'll have your ice cream waiting for you once you get back pretty girl" she nodded
"Why didn't you tell me about the pregnancy from the beginning?" he asked as they sat down on the balcony
"Because it wasn't anyone's business" she replied as her eyes focused on the boats "It's not something I was ready for everyone to know just yet"
"But he announced it on live on nationally TV"
"Yeah but we agreed it was time. I mean the clinic already leaked the news Chase; people are going to know"
"I know that I'm not the child's biologically father and all but Brooke, I'm even willing to be as long as you'll give me a chance to love you both" he said as her eyes opened wide and mouth dropped open
