I cannot believe how long it has been since I've updated this!! For any of you still reading, thank you thank you! And I'm sorry for the delay. Now that I have a month off from school, I am going to try and write and update as much as I can before the madness starts up again. Anyway, about the chapter…this is really a continuing of chapter 9, but you all have waited so long for an update, I am just going to post whatever I have whenever I have it, as I am doing now. This chapter is short, unfortunately, but hopefully I will have a longer update soon. Please review. Thanks a bunch!
Chapter 10
Following Brooke and Lucas' arrival to Nathan and Haley's house, the Scott brothers decided to take Logan and Jamie to the park so that Brooke and Haley could have some time alone to talk. Nathan, too, wanted time alone to talk to his brother. And now they sat together on a bench as they watched the boys play together in the sandbox.
"So, um…" Nathan started as he leaned forward and brought his hands together. "You and Brooke have worked things out, then?"
Lucas glanced at his brother briefly before quickly returning his attention to his son and nephew.
"Well, we talked," he answered. "We talked honestly, both of us for the first time in our entire relationship. And that's enough for now. There's still some things we need to work through, but they can wait until Brooke is better. Making sure she is going to be alright is the most important thing right now."
Nathan nodded and looked over at the boys again. He took a minute before asking his next question.
"What is she doing about her health now? Did she tell you?"
"Well," Lucas leaned back on the bench. "Before last night, she really hadn't done anything…because she was afraid. But we talked and she promised she would go and see the cardiologist in New York that her doctor recommended."
Again, Nathan nodded. Silent with his thoughts for another moment, Nathan smiled as he realized he really had come to know his brother well.
"And you're going with her, aren't you?" He asked, looking up.
Lucas looked back at his brother and shrugged. "I have to. I promised Brooke I'd help her through this. And…"
Lucas looked back at the two young boys. Jamie laughed as his little cousin dumped a bucket of sand on his head.
"I want to be there for him," Lucas continued. "I want to be there for my son."
Nathan smiled. He gently slapped his brothers shoulder.
"You're doing the right thing, Luke. I'm proud of you."
