Chapter 11
(Listen to Josh Auer - Dear You.)
Victoria looked to her daughter. Watching as she protectively put her hand on her growing stomach. She felt this feeling of motherly instinct stir inside her. She had allowed business and problems involving her husband to drive her further into her career rather than focus on her family especially being the mom to Brooke she always deserved.
(I came here because I had to verify your signature and Lucas's on these parental rights papers. They were recently sent to me. Then there is the conversation i had with Peyton Sawyer.) Victoria said.
Brooke felt this wave of anger and rage course through her. Just hearing Peyton's name mentioned. Told her that whatever she had planned was done to get back at her and to keep Lucas for herself.
(Come in.) She said. Moving aside. Victoria walked inside the home.
Brooke shut the door behind her. And walked through the entryway.
(Come sit down and tell me everything that went on with Peyton.) She said. Looking to her mother.
At the sight of Victoria Lucas walked from the dining room into the living room. And sat down beside Brooke.
(Victoria is everything okay here.?) He asked. Looking from mother to daughter.
Victoria looked to Lucas. (No it isn't this conversation involves you. So stick around and listen. According to Peyton you and Brooke had a change of heart in regards to the baby and decided to give her up for adoption. Days later i arrive at my office to find signed parental rights forms. Now at first given our distance Brooke. I wasn't going to question it. But then i remembered the talk we had only awhile back. You made it clear that you were going to keep this baby. And be a better mother i was to you. That was when i realized something wasn't right so i held on to the papers until i was able to see for myself how you and Lucas felt.) She said.
Victoria then handed over the papers to Brooke and Lucas.
Brooke read them over then Lucas did the same.
The two looked up at Victoria. (Thank you for coming here. Not going along with Peyton's scheme. She and I haven't been friends for months now. She is determined to see me miserable and unhappy. This means so much to me. Too us.) She said. Gazing over at Lucas.
Lucas looked to Victoria. (You could of ignored how you felt and went along with this adoption. Which would of devestated us in more ways then you could imagine. Thank you.) He said.
Victoria looked to her daughter then Lucas. (It's the least i can do. I should go and let you two continue with your evening.) She said. Getting off the couch.
Lucas tore up the parental rights papers. Then made his way back into the dining room to inform Nathan and Haley of what had just happened.
...
Brooke walked over to the front door. Putting her hand on her mother's shoulder. Causing Victoria to turn around.
The two now faced each other. Brooke leaned over engulfing her mother into a hug.
Victoria was taken aback by the affection. She hugged Brooke back.
Eventually the two seperated. Brooke locked eyes with her mother.
(You saved her. I can't explain what you doing this means. I love this baby so much. And i know you love me. Even though it's difficult for you to say it and express it. I was thinking Penelope is going to be born in a matter of weeks. Everyone of our family and friends is going to be there. In the waiting room. Once she's born she'll meet everyone and you should be apart of that day.) Brooke said. With emotion in her voice.
Victoria felt this rush of emotion. Hit her. (I would be honored to meet her. I'll be there. Just send me the details.) She said.
Brooke smiled up at her. (I'll see you then.) She said. Closing the door after her mother.
...
Sometime Later
Lucas shut Peyton's door behind him.
She smiled up at him. Walking over placing a kiss on his lips.
Lucas moved away from her. (I know what you tried to do! forging parental rights papers so Brooke and I would lose our daughter! We are done Peyton!) He said. Looking to her.
