And disapear as reality is crashing to the floor
Chapter Twenty-One- What Did You Expect Me To Do?
Brooke and Averie had been home for two weeks now and were finally developing a schedule and a routine.
Chae was very helpful, and bonded with Averie quickly. She loved helping Brooke and being such a big part in Averie's life. She was glad that Brooke had decided to stay in their apartment with Averie instead of moving out.
Averie was a pretty good baby, but she loved attention just like her mother. She was happiest when she was being held and loved. Brooke didn't mind though, she was a nervous wreck when her baby wasn't in her sight anyways.
Lucas spent as much time with Brooke and Averie as he could. He was very busy with basketball, so it made it hard for him. He had practices everyday and had already been out of town twice since Averie had been born. He only had one game left, and couldn't wait for his life to calm down after that. He was just glad that his divorce papers had gone through quickly and he was now officially rid of Peyton.
Brooke was adjusting well to being a new mom. She loved her baby more than anything in the world, and Averie was her one and only focus. She had put her clothing line on hold, deciding that she would start again in a few months.
It was obvious to everyone that Lucas loved Brooke. He called her multiple times a day when he couldn't be with her, and Chae always seemed to catch him staring at her with a longing in his eyes. Brooke on the other hand, tried to avoid him as much as she could. It was obvious that she was still hurt by everything that had happened between the two. She had been civil with him, and let him come around whenever he wanted but she was only doing it for her baby. Every time he tried to have a serious talk with her about anything other than Averie, she always made excuses to get away from him. But it was obvious to Chae that her roommate was harvesting feelings for the brooding blonde as well...she just didn't exactly show it in a conventional way.
Haley and Nathan were happy to be parents and loved watching their baby grow. Max was a happy baby and now two and a half months old. Haley and Nathan had decided that they were going to come visit Brooke and Averie in a couple weeks.
Jake and Chae had seemed to be doing good still. They talked on the phone constantly, and made each other happy. Chae had been dating only Jake, which was new for her. Since she had moved to New York, she never dated only one guy so it was big. Brooke figured that Jake would like it if things were more serious between the two of them, but he didn't want to scare Chae away.
"Guess who's coming to see you today baby…" Brooke cooed, smiling down at Averie while she dressed her on her changing table. Brooke gently pulled the neck of Averie's pale purple dress over the babies head before continuing. "Uncle Jake is coming! And he can't wait to see you!"
Brooke smiled at her baby. At two weeks old it seemed like she had already grown and changed so much since the day she was born. Averie's hair was sticking out everywhere; she had more hair than any baby Brooke had ever seen. Brooke ran two fingers over her daughters silky dark locks before she placed a light purple matching bow in it.
"Knock knock" Brooke heard Lucas say as he opened the door to her apartment.
"Daddy's here?" Brooke said in a confused tone, kissing Averie before picking her up and walking into the living room. "Hey Luke" Brooke said, giving him a soft smile as she stood in front of him. "I thought you were leaving today?"
Lucas reached his hands out for Averie, and Brooke handed her to him. "I am, but I just had to stop by and see you two before I left" he said, smiling at Brooke before kissing Averie. "Huh princess, daddy just had to come to say bye" Lucas said to the baby.
"Oh, I see" Brooke said, smiling as she watched Lucas with Averie. She loved to see them together, it was obvious that he loved his daughter, and she was quite fond of her dad as well.
"Her eyes are getting even more blue" Lucas noticed.
Brooke nodded, "Yeah, I really hope they don't change…"
"Yeah, me too…other than the blue eyes, she looks just like you" Lucas said, smiling towards Brooke.
"So, when do you come back?" Brooke asked, changing the subject.
"Our game is tomorrow night, and we come home the next day…we actually get two weeks off from practice after that" Lucas said with a raised eyebrow and a smile.
"Wow, that's like a record, it has got to be exciting" Brooke said shoving her hands in her pockets. "Are you nervous for the game?"
"Um" Lucas said, rocking Averie, "Not really, I mean it's big that we have made it this far…I never thought we would have made it to the finals."
"You guys have had a good season" Brooke agreed, she knew because she had watched every single one of his games, never missing one.
"Yeah I guess so" Lucas said, readjusting Averie in his arms as she started to fuss.
Brooke walked over to the counter and retrieved a white binky, "Here" she said, handing it to Lucas.
He put it in the baby's mouth and she immediately started to calm. "I really don't want to go" Lucas groaned, "I don't want to leave you guys…"
"It's okay Luke" Brooke laughed, "Averie will be fine…"
"I'm gonna miss you too Brooke" Lucas said, his eyes hooking on Brookes.
She shook her head slightly, her eyes losing contact with his as she looked down, "Lucas-"
"It's the truth" he said, waiting for her eyes to look back up at his. When they did he started again, "I hate not seeing you everyday…"
Averie started to cry and Brooke let out the breath she was holding in, thanking Averie silently for breaking the tension. "She's ready to eat again" Brooke informed Lucas, choosing to ignore the last thing he had said.
"Yeah, I need to get going anyways," Lucas said quietly, Brooke could hear the sadness in his voice. "I'll see you soon" he said to the crying baby. He gave Averie a kiss and handed her back to Brooke. "I'll call you when I get there" he told her as he opened the front door.
"Okay" Brooke said softly, lifting a hand to wave to Lucas as he left.

Brooke and Averie had both fallen asleep after Lucas left. They were sleeping in her big bed when Chae and Jake arrived. Chae had learned quickly not to enter the apartment making a lot of noise in case Averie was in fact sleeping. They came in quietly and didn't hear Brooke or Averie.
"Do you think they left?" Jake asked as they stood in the empty living room that was crowded with baby blankets, pacifiers, a motorized swing, a bouncy chair and packages of diapers and wipes.
"I doubt it, Brooke refuses to leave the house with Ave" Chae said with a laugh. "It's too germy out there as Brooke likes to say…I guess don't blame her though…this is New York!"
Jake nodded, "I'm gonna check her room" he told Chae as he leaned down to kiss her quickly.
"I'm happy you're here" Chae smiled as Jake walked away.
"Me too" he smiled back and then turned to walk towards Brooke's room.
He pushed Brooke's door open and saw her and Averie both lying on the big bed asleep. He walked to the side of the bed that Brooke wasn't occupying and sat down on edge of the bed next to Averie who was sound asleep in the middle of the bed.
When he sat down on the bed Averie started to move in her sleep causing Brooke to wake up.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw Jake sitting on the bed. "Jake!" she said with a sleepy grin. "How long have you been here?" She asked, looking down at Averie who was still sleeping.
"I just got here" Jake told her with a smile. He looked down at Averie and ran a finger along the blanket she was wrapped in. "She's beautiful Brooke."
Brooke grinned, looking down at her baby, "She is, isn't she?"
Jake watched Brooke smile at her baby and could tell that she was truly happy. He loved seeing her like this, she was one of his best friends and she deserved to be happy. He knew that she had a tough year, and it was good to see her smiling again.
Brooke sat up and reached for Averie. "Do you wanna hold her?"
"Yeah," Jake smiled, reaching his arms out for the tiny baby. "She has so much hair, a lot more than Max" Jake laughed.
"I know right?" Brooke giggled. "How is Max?"
"He's getting huge! He looks just like Hale's and has the chubbiest cheeks, and he smiles all the time now" Jake told Brooke while he stared at the sleeping baby.
"I can't wait till Ave smiles" Brooke said, reaching out and placing a hand on her baby.
"What's going on in here?" Chae asked, walking into Brooke's room and climbing onto the big bed as well.
"Just letting Ave steal the show as usual" Brooke laughed.
"Of course" Chae nodded in agreement, leaning down to kiss the baby. "How is my favorite girl in the whole wide world?"
"Tired" Brooke laughed, lifting her hand up to her mouth in a yawn.
Chae laughed, hitting Brooke's arm, "Not you! Come on, you know Ave is my favorite!"
Brooke lifted her hand to her heart and feigned shock, "Whatever!"
Jake laughed at the two girls, "You poor thing, living with these two" He said to the sleeping baby.
"You're just jealous" Brooke observed, throwing her arm around Chae's shoulder.
"Jealousy doesn't suit you Jake" Chae nodded, leaning towards Brooke.

"Lucas!" his coach yelled from the sidelines during practice. "Focus!" The team stopped playing and all looked towards the coach who sighed, "Time out!"
Lucas jogged over to the benches, picking up a water bottle and taking a long drink. He lowered the bottle from his lips and watched as Kade walked towards him, grabbing a water bottle as well.
"What's your deal?" He asked, keeping distance from Lucas so they wouldn't alarm the coach. "You took my life, you aren't taking my championship too by ruining this game" Kade said, bitterness in his voice.
"I took your life?" Lucas questioned, squinting his eyes.
Kade glared toward Lucas, taking a drink from his water bottle. "Yeah, my life. I was supposed to have the life with Brooke, the baby, the whole nine yards…" He dropped down onto the bench, his hands resting on his bent knees. "And then you came along…and I lost it all…I just hope you realize you have a good thing Lucas, a great thing."
Lucas stood there stunned, was Kade actually being nice to him? Kade, the guy that had to get his nose reset because Lucas had broken it. Was he really being nice? Kade obviously didn't know that he and Brooke were barely talking unless it was about their child, or else he wouldn't be jealous.
"Just be good to her…she deserves it" Kade said, patting Lucas' shoulder before running back onto the court.
"Alright guys, you can go…be back in at least two hours before the game" Coach yelled, all of the guys gratefully leaving the court.
Lucas stood by the benches, thinking about what Kade had said. For once Kade knew what he was talking about, and Lucas knew he had something to do.
His Coach was walking out of the gym, when Lucas yelled to stop him.
"What do you need Scott?" He asked, turning back around, an annoyed expression on his face.
"We gotta talk" Lucas said, nodding his head as he sat down on the bench.

It was Jake's second day in New York and the day of Lucas' big game. They had all decided to stay in for the night and watch it, so Chae and Jake went to get take-out for dinner.
"Alright" Jake called, walking in the door with his arms full of bags. Chae came in behind him holding an Italian Soda for Brooke. "We brought Chinese, is that good for you?"
"Yeah, that sounds really good" Brooke grinned. "Chae, I love you!" Brooke giggled and grinned as she noticed Chae walk in holding the drink she had been craving.
"I don't know how you aren't sick of these already" Chae laughed, handing the cup over to Brooke.
"They are so good!" Brooke smiled, raising her eyebrows as she licked her lips.
"Where's Ava-girl?" Chae asked, laughing as Jake put an arm around her neck, pulling her towards him.
"She's sleeping in the swing, I think she wants to be awake to see her dad play" Brooke told them, dipping a finger into the whipped cream on top of her drink and then licking it off.
"She'll probably sleep through it" Chae laughed.
Jake moved away from Chae and got some plates out of the cupboard. He opened all of the cartons of food while Chae told Brooke about the weird cashier at the grocery store. He put the food on the three plates and pushed one across the counter to each Brooke and Chae.
"Alright you two" Jake said, breaking them from their chatting. "It's time to eat…"
"Thanks Jake" Brooke smiled, picking up her chop-sticks.
"What she said" Chae said through a mouth-full of rice as she pointed towards Brooke with a chop-stick.
"So" Jake started, sitting down next to Chae on a bar stool. "What's going on with you and Lucas?" He asked, leaning around Chae so he could see Brooke.
"What do you mean?" She asked, chewing on a piece of orange chicken.
"You know what he means" Chae said, looking at Brooke with a raised eyebrow.
"He's over here a lot…and he's single…" Jake started.
Chae picked up where he left off, "And you guys have a steamy, hot history…and a baby!"
Brooke dropped her chop sticks onto her plate. "You guys know what happened…nothing is going on between us. He comes over here for Averie…"
"You think that's all he comes over here for?" Chae asked with a laugh. "You should see the way he looks at you…"
"Chae-"
"Brooke you know you miss him" Chae said, cutting her off.
"You guys so can't team up on me! This is so not fair!" Brooke whined, poking out her bottom lip.
"We just want you to be happy" Jake said, "And I know you were happy when you were with him…I just want you happy," he said sadly.
"I am happy" Brooke said with a smile, and she was happy. "I have Averie, and my clothes, and you guys…"
"But doesn't it feel like something's missing?" Jake asked, running his hand over Chae's back.
Brooke sat on her stool quietly eating her dinner. "I don't know. I just don't think I can trust him again. It's hard enough seeing him or hearing from him everyday…"
Chae nodded, placing a hand on Brooke's shoulder. "I know honey, it can't be easy. I know you are still hurt, but don't close yourself off from him completely. You could be missing out on something really great."
Brooke nodded sadly, turning back to her food.

"This game is so boring" Chae whined, leaning into Jake's shoulder.
"It is not" Jake said, pulling her closer towards him.
"Maybe you should stop talking so we can pay attention" Brooke said, looking at Chae and raising her eyebrows.
"For not liking the guy, you sure do like watching him…" Chae said, looking over at Brooke with raised eyebrows as well.
"Averie likes to watch him" Brooke said, motioning to the sleeping baby in her lap and then sticking her tongue out at Chae.
"Dude" Chae laughed, throwing a hand over her mouth, "She's sleeping!"
"Okay," Jake said, sitting straight up. "You two both need to stop talking…what just happened?" he asked, looking towards the TV.
Brooke turned her attention to it as well and watched as Lucas scratched the back of his head, his usual nervous habit.
"-And that's two free-throws for Lucas Scott" they heard the announcer say.
"What happened?" Brooke asked, her eyes glued to the screen.
"Someone must've fouled on him" Jake shrugged.
They watched as Lucas shot two free throws, making them both.
They were all excited when the Knicks won the game stealing the championship. The reporters were talking after the game was over and that's when Brooke and Chae decided to leave the room because it got extra boring.
The girls all went into Brooke's room and Chae got Averie changed into her pajama's and ready for bed.
"I hope she sleeps tonight" Chae said, buttoning up Averie's onsie.
"I know, she's slept a lot today" Brooke agreed.
"Alright, here ya go" Chae smiled, kissing Averie on the head as she passed her over to Brooke.
Brooke grabbed one of Averie's blankets, covering her as she fed the baby.
"How are you and Jake doing?" Brooke asked as Chae climbed onto the bed and sat next to her.
"We are doing good" Chae smiled, "It's no pressure right now ya know, we are just having fun…enjoying each other…"
"He really likes you" Brooke said with a small smile.
"Brooke!" Jake yelled, interrupting their conversation. "Chae! You guys, come in here!"
Chae and Brooke looked at each other, both confused by Jake's sudden yelling. Brooke looked down at Averie, who was still breastfeeding and shrugged, obviously not planning on moving.
"I'll be back" Chae said, seeing that Brooke couldn't get up at the moment. She ran out of the room and a second later she was yelling, "Brooke! Come here, you gotta see this" She yelled, her voice growing closer as she entered Brooke's bedroom once more.
"What's going on?" Brooke asked growing concerned as she wrapped her arms around Averie trying not to disrupt the feeding baby when she stood up.
"It's Lucas" Chae said, quickly walking into the living room, this time with Brooke and Averie in tow.
"What's going-"
"Shh" Jake demanded, cutting Brooke off and pointing to the TV.
"So, Lucas Scott, after two years with the New York Knicks, what made you decide to resign? You just had a killer season and a lot of opportunity with this team…" A reporter asked, sticking his microphone into Lucas' face.
Lucas was standing next to his coach, "Well, it's actually a personal reason. I know it is a big deal, and it seems like I am losing a lot by resigning, but actually I think I am gaining much more" he said, a smile gracing his face.
"And what do you think about all of this? Mr. Scott here is your number one shooting guard? He is obviously going to be a big loss to your team" a second reporter asked, this time shoving the microphone into the coach's face.
"We are very upset to lose him; he has been a great asset to this team. But Mr. Scott and I have had a long talk, and I am happy for him and wish him the best in life" Lucas' coach replied with a reassuring smile.
"We heard you have recently been divorced? Does this have anything to do with that?" a third reporter asked.
Lucas smiled into the camera, "Well, that is a very personal question, and no it has nothing to do with my former wife. The divorce was mutual, and there are no hard feelings. We are better off apart, and I am for once happy with my life."
"Alright, no more questions" Lucas coach said, cutting in and putting an arm around Lucas, ushering him away from the hounding reporters.
"What is he thinking!" Brooke asked, her eyes growing wide as Jake turned the volume down on the television. "I mean why would he do that! He has worked too hard to just leave the team! Why would he just leave!"
Jake and Chae both looked at each other and began to laugh.
"Brooke" Chae said with a laugh, resting her hand on Brooke's shoulder, "You really don't see why he is doing this?"
"No!" Brooke said, shock still in her voice. Chae reached for Averie who was done eating and Brooke stayed covered up under the blanket. "He is obviously insane!"
"You, Brooke" Jake said, smiling at his friend.
"Me what?" Brooke asked, adjusting her shirt under the blanket and then handing the baby blanket to Chae. "I'm not insane! Don't call me insane when he just threw away his career that millions of guys would die to have!"
"No, no" Jake laughed, "You…you are why he left the team…"
Chae nodded, she had lifted Averie to her shoulder now and was burping her. "Told you he loves you!" Chae teased, raising an eyebrow at Brooke.
"That's stupid, you guys are just as crazy as he is" Brooke said, shaking her head. "That just doesn't make sense."
"Oh, but it does" Chae grinned, "He loves you, he wants to be with you…he wants to show you that he is serious about being here for you, here with you…its kind of pathetic" she laughed.
"You guys are ridiculous" Brooke said, still shaking her head. She didn't get why they were even saying that. Why would Lucas leave the team for her? That was just plain stupid. She didn't care if he played basketball anyways. If she wasn't confused before, she was now. Her ringing cell phone pulled her out of her thoughts quickly.
She stood from the couch and walked towards her phone which was sitting on the kitchen counter. She lifted the phone, and after looking at the caller id she flipped it open.
"Hello" she answered.
"Brooke, it's me" Lucas said.
Brooke frowned, he sounded broody and worn out. "I know…"
"I'm coming home tonight" he said, "I'm sure it'll be too late to come over when I get home, but can I stop by in the morning?"
"Yeah, sure" Brooke said casually. "That's fine."
"Good" he said smiling. "Cause I really need to talk to you…"
