The-Chadinator - Glad you liked the scene you've been wanting to read about for ages. Thanks for the lovely review.
Brucas2345 - She very well might. Keep reading to find out.
eunice101 - It's nice to hear from one of the silent readers! Glad you liked it and thanks for the review.
paigematthewsfan21 - There were a number of factors keeping them with their other partners and none of them were for the right reasons.
Tess mtiv - I thought that would be a good transition when Lucas realized where they were and how it was going. A Brucas baby might be a possibility in a future chapter.
BDavisLScott23 - Thanks so much. Glad you liked the hot, steamy Brucas. I think this is the longest I've gone in a story before they've ripped each others clothes off and ravished each other.
tanya2byour21 - I couldn't resist putting that part in. It's sort of a flash back to their high school days as mentioned by Dan.
OTH-Brucas-love - Why thank you very much! Haha! I think you're right with that comment. It's a shame he's a fictional character huh?
alysef - Glad you liked it. I thought it was about time for some proper Brucas action. It has to be some kind of reccord for me to have their first sex scene in chapter 20.

"Is Daddy back yet?" Paige asked Brooke as she and the children were sat in the lounge.
"Not yet sweetie," Brooke told her. "You'll hear when he gets back."
"And he's bringing Dylan back from the hospital?" Grace asked.
"He sure is," Brooke beamed. "We get your baby brother back home today."
"I glad he coming home momma," Scarlett said. "I like him, I asked the angels not to take him."
"You did?" Brooke asked a lump forming in her throat.
"Uh huh," Scarlett answered. "I asked them to leave him with us because they already took one of my baby brother's."
"Thank you Scar," Brooke said as her eyes filled with tears. She stood quickly, needing to get out of the room before she burst into tears in front of the children. "I'll just go and get you all a drink."
Brooke hastily walked towards the kitchen and went through the door. She just managed to make it through before the tears began to fall. She moved over to the sink and rested her hands against the counter there. She let the tears fall down her cheeks as she gave into all the emotions she had been fighting for the past five days.
Almost five minutes later she heard the kitchen door open and close. She tried to calm her tears but found it difficult. She heard something being put on the central island and then footsteps came over towards her.
"Brooke what's wrong?" she heard Lucas asked her concerned. She turned round and was immediately engulfed in his arms.
"It's just something Scarlett said," she answered as she sobbed into his chest. "She said she asked the angels not to take Dylan because they had already taken a baby brother from her. I couldn't help the crying Luke."
"Sshh its okay Pretty Girl," he told her as he stroked her back and hair soothingly. "Just let it out."
"I feel so stupid crying when I have nothing to cry about," she mumbled. "I mean our son is going to be fine, yet here I am crying like it's turned out bad."
"Brooke, it's okay to cry," Lucas told her. "I know you'll be thinking of Sam right now and that'll be making you upset."
"Daddy, why is mommy crying?" Grace asked her blue eyes wide.
"I'm okay sweetie," Brooke answered as she wiped at her eyes and moved out of Lucas' arms. She crouched down in front of Grace. "I just got upset when I was thinking about Sam that's all."
"I don't like it when you cry," Grace told her. "It makes me sad."
"Don't be sad Gracie," Brooke told her with a weak smile. "Because I'm fine okay?"
"You sure momma?" Grace asked, giving her a concerned look that was identical to Lucas'. It made her laugh as she saw it. Lucas joined in.
"I'm fine." she repeated.
"Do you want to go and see our son?" Lucas asked Brooke as she stood. He put his hand on the small of her back. "He's in his crib in the lounge."
Brooke hurried out of the kitchen and back to the lounge, Lucas and Grace behind her. She saw Paige and Scarlett standing on the sofa, trying to look into Dylan's bassinet.
"We wanted to see he was okay momma," Paige explained as Brooke bent over the crib and gathered Dylan into her arms. "Is he okay?"
"He's fine," Brooke assured them as she sat on the sofa with him in her arms. "See?"
The girls gathered around Brooke, Paige and Scarlett and one side and Grace on the other. Dylan was looking between them all with wide blue eyes and a smile on his face. Brooke couldn't stop the smile from forming on her own lips as she saw how healthy and alert he looked. The smile on Dylan's face grew as he saw Lucas' face appear next to Brooke's as he moved behind the sofa.
"I was thinking about Paige's and Scarlett's birthday earlier," Lucas said. "And I was talking with Uncle Jake and Aunt Peyton and they suggested that you two and Savannah all have a joint party."
"Yay daddy!" Paige shouted.
"Uh huh!" Scarlett agreed.
"I think that's a great idea," Brooke said with a smile. "Did they mention where?"
"They did," Lucas said and then moved his lips to Brooke's ear and whispered the location. "How great is that gonna be?"
"Wow you girls are gonna love your birthday this year," Brooke told them smiling wider. "What do you want for your birthday? Remember Santa will be coming a few days after."
"I want Princess dress up clothes." Scarlett said.
"Me too!" Paige said.
"Wow, that'll be easy to sort," Lucas said as the doorbell went. "I'll go get it."
Lucas headed out of the lounge and down the hallway to the front door. He opened it and found Jake stood at the other side with Ryan.
"Hey Jake, come on in," Lucas greeted. "Hey Ry!"
"Hey daddy!" Ryan greeted enthusiastically. "Is my baby brother back from the hospital?"
"He sure is," Lucas confirmed. "He's with your mom and sisters in the lounge. You not coming in Jake?"
"I better not," Jake replied, as Ryan ran into the house. "I have a car full of hyperactive kids. If I leave them too long they'll probably end up hotwiring it and driving off."
"Thanks for picking Ry up," Lucas told him gratefully. "And when Dylan's a little better we'll take your brood for the night okay? Give you and Peyton some alone time."
"I so can not wait for that," Jake told him. "That can be your Christmas present to us."
"Don't even mention Christmas right now," Lucas said with a sigh. "With everything that's been going on with Dylan, we've kind of put Christmas on hold."
"You've got three weeks Luke," Jake reminded him. "And don't forget the girls' birthdays."
"Don't remind me," he said with a laugh. "I think I'll get the kids writing their letters to Santa while I cook dinner tonight."
"God Brooke's definitely got you domesticated," Jake laughed. "Our kids have their letters written already. Listen I better go Luke. I've left the kids alone too long in the car. I'll call you later and we'll talk about the girls birthday treat."
"Sure. I might answer," Lucas told him. "If I'm not in bed with Brooke."
"You guys -"
"We sure did," Lucas beamed, cutting him off. "It was amazing Jake. Way better than I remember it being."
"When?"
"The night Dylan had his heart surgery." Lucas replied.
"Has Brooke told Peyton?"
"I don't know."
"Man she's gonna have to because I'm not allowed to keep secrets from my wife," Jake said. "You know how Peyton is. She'll want details. So I'll send her round tomorrow for coffee with Brooke."
"Okay," Lucas agreed with a smile. "And I'll be back at work."
"Well it's about time," Jake said with a laugh. "I've been running that place single handedly for the past week. So seeing as though you're gonna be working I won't bother phoning you tonight, so I won't interrupt your sexy time with Brooke. We'll just talk about it at work."
"Right kids," Lucas said as he arrived back in the living room. "Who wants to write a letter to Santa?"
"Me!" came the chorus of the four children.
"Okay so you guys can sit round the coffee table and get writing while I go and make us all dinner," Lucas said. The children eagerly gathered around the table and Brooke watched with amusement. "And mommy can have a nice rest with Dylan. Who's gonna get the paper and stuff?"
"I'll go get it Dad," Ryan said as he stood. He went over to his school bag and pulled a folded piece of paper out. "I made this at school. It's a get well card for Dylan."
Lucas took it from him and opened it as the little boy ran out of the room to go and get the paper and pencils. He could feel the lump forming in his throat as he read Ryan's words. He went over to the sofa and sat beside Brooke, showing it to her.
"Oh my God that is so sweet," Brooke said as she saw Ryan had written it himself. She looked at Dylan who had grasped the paper in one of his small hands. "Isn't your big brother awesome?"
"What did he put momma?" Grace asked curious.
"He put 'To the bestest little brother in the world, I hope you get well soon and don't have to go with the Angels.'" Lucas read.
"I hope so too." Scarlett said.
"Me too!" Paige agreed.
"And me." Grace said, just as Ryan returned with their stationary.
"Dylan loves his card baby," Brooke told him, causing him to break out into a huge smile as he put the paper and things onto the coffee table. "Look he's even holding it."
"I'm glad you like it little brother," Ryan said as he came over to the sofa and squeezed between Brooke and Lucas so he could see him. Dylan smiled and gurgled at him as he waved the card in the air. "He looks better."
"He does huh?" Lucas agreed as Dylan held the card out to him. Lucas reached out and took it with his left hand.
"Dad, where's your ring?" Ryan asked with a frown. "Did you lose it?"
"No, I took it off because I'm not married to Lindsay anymore," Lucas explained. "You only wear rings on that finger if you're married or if you're getting married."
"Mommy, do you still have yours on?" he asked curious.
"No baby, I took them off." she answered quietly.
"But I thought mommies and daddies had to be married?" Ryan asked confused.
"Uh, well, they do," Lucas stuttered out. "See your mom and I have to get married to each other, so we get new rings."
"When are you doing that?" he asked as Dylan dropped his card and gripped Ryan's hand.
"Not for a while yet Ry," Lucas explained. "You see I have to ask your mom first and she has to say yes. And then we have to organize a ceremony and a party."
"A party?" Grace asked happily.
"Yes a big party," Lucas confirmed. Brooke watched with amusement. "And you girls will get to be bridesmaids and Ryan will be the page boy."
"That sounds like fun," Ryan said smiling as Dylan let go of his hand. Ryan picked the card up and handed it back to the baby. "Here you go Dylan."
"Daddy when are you gonna ask mommy to marry you?" Grace asked. Lucas looked at Brooke with a smile.
"When the time is right," he said cryptically. "Anyway, you guys should get on with writing your letters to Santa. And remember to tell him everything you want. I'm going to get started on dinner."
"What would you like for Christmas?" Brooke asked Lucas as they led snuggled up in bed together that night. They were both naked and still a little breathless from their latest round of love making.
Since the night Dylan had had his surgery and Brooke had taken the next step with Lucas, they had been intimate whenever they could. Brooke had wondered why she had kicked up such a fuss about letting him make love to her, as she had enjoyed each and every moment of it and even begged him for more. What Julian had done seemed to disappear more from her mind, each time she was with Lucas.
"I already have my present," he said kissing her forehead and rubbing his hand along her naked back. "I got it early this year."
"What was that?" Brooke mumbled as she sighed happily.
"You, your kids and Dylan." he told her happily.
"Really?" she asked shocked as she sat up. "Surely you want something else?"
"There might be a few things," he said smiling at her with a glint in his eye. "And they're all to do with you."
"You know how we're changing the kids' names and stuff?" Brooke began. Lucas nodded. "I think we should give them the documents as a Christmas present. Maybe put it in a frame or something?"
"That's a great idea," Lucas said enthusiastically. "I can't wait to see their faces. And we know it's going to be finalized before Christmas too, so we can do it. What do you want for Christmas Brooke?"
"I don't know," Brooke replied honestly. "I already have everything I need and want, so anything I get will be a bonus. So surprise me."
"I'm gonna phone Nathan and Haley tomorrow and officially invite them," Lucas said. "I'm gonna get Nate to tell mom and dad that they can't make it for Christmas, so it'll be a surprise."
"That would be good. I've not seen Haley and co for ages," Brooke said her eyes lighting up. "I think we should do Christmas here. Invite Peyton and Jake too. And your mom and dad obviously."
"I'd like that," Lucas said. "One big family Christmas that will be as insane as anything."
"It will huh?" Brooke asked as she thought. "So if everybody turns up there'll be thirteen kids, a baby and eight adults. You think your mom would help me with the cooking? Because that sure is a lot of people to cater for."
"I'm sure she'd love it. Plus there'll be Peyton and Haley to help."
"While you man folk sit and drink beer?" she asked with a laugh.
"Well it will be Christmas and you know what my mom is like," Lucas told her. "She'll be booting everybody out of the kitchen anyway."
"True," Brooke laughed. "So when are we getting a tree?"
"How about tomorrow when we pick Ryan up from school?" Lucas suggested. "I'm sure Jake won't mind closing early."
"Did Jake mention when this Princess birthday thing for the girls is happening?"
"The twenty first," Lucas replied. "I think that's the best date because it's the day after Savannah's birthday and the day before Scarlett and Paige's."
"True," Brooke agreed. "I can't believe we have so much to do right now. We promised everybody a New Year party too. You remember? Our house warming?"
"Crap I forgot all about that," Lucas said as he remembered. "So we're gonna be doing Christmas and New Year here. We're definitely crazy. Oh and I also promised Jake that we'd look after his mob so he and Peyton can have some 'alone' time. It's our Christmas gift to them."
"So we'll keep them Christmas night then?" Brooke suggested. "So we have to shop for Christmas gifts, birthday gifts, Christmas food and New Year slash house warming party stuff. It's going to be insane."
"Oh and Jake's going to be sending Peyton round tomorrow for a 'coffee'," Lucas remembered. "I uh, kind of let it slip that we were having sex again. And he said he can't keep secrets so you have to tell Peyton."
"Lucas!" Brooke said shocked. "You do know that Peyton is going to want to know every single little detail about it. Even down to how many times you made me orgasm."
"How many times did I make you orgasm that first time we were together this time?" Lucas asked curious.
"You couldn't tell?" Brooke asked incredulously.
"Well you were moaning and screaming and squeezing me so much it was hard to know what was an orgasm and what wasn't." Lucas confessed as he thought back. Brooke saw the covers move and tent over his crotch as his body obviously reacted to what he was thinking of.
"Four times Lucas." she replied. He broke out into a wide smile.
"That just made my pride swell." he told her.
"Along with something else," Brooke said as he kinked her eyebrow and slipped her hand under the covers to give him a teasing squeeze. "Wow you're so hard again."
"It might have something to do with you sitting there with your boobs on display while we're talking," Lucas told her. "And us talking about sex doesn't help."
"So better I help you to relieve this huh?" she said squeezing him again, earning an appreciative moan in response.
"That would be greatly appreciated." Lucas groaned.
"So you and Lucas are humping again?" Peyton asked eagerly as she and Brooke were sat on the sofa the next day. The children were all upstairs in the attic, playing together in the playroom. Jake Junior and Dylan were sleeping in the playpen.
"Yes we are," Brooke beamed. "And its way better than it was in high school."
"All I can say is that it's about time," Peyton said with a laugh. "You two are just perfect for each other, in every possible way."
"I know we are Peyton," Brooke said as she sipped her tea. "I just can't believe how long it's taken us to realize it. You know when I think back, I wish I had been pregnant when I had the scare in high school. We might have never broken up then."
"Damn your uterus!" Peyton said playfully. "Just think you and Lucas could have ended up like Jake and I."
"We still could," Brooke said with a smile. "I'd love another baby Peyton. I just don't know when."
"Have you and Lucas been using protection?" Peyton asked as she took a bite of the brownies Brooke had made. "These are delicious."
"Thanks," Brooke replied. "No we haven't actually. But I've not even got my period back after having Sam, so I think we're okay for now."
"Brooke!" Peyton said wide eyed. Brooke looked at her alarmed. "Are you completely stupid? Do you not remember any of the conversations we had when I was pregnant with Lauren, Brandon or Ellie?"
"Uh," Brooke said uncertain as she wracked her brain. She came up with a blank. "No."
"Well when I got pregnant with each of them, I hadn't got my period back," Peyton told her. She was secretly thrilled that Brooke had forgotten those conversations. "It can still happen Brooke."
"Oh." Brooke said at a loss for words. She didn't know whether to be panicked or not.
"You've only done it without protection that one time right?" Peyton asked.
"Define one time," Brooke said. "Do you mean occasions or actually number of times the sex was had? Because it was more than one for both."
"Seriously?" Peyton asked impressed. "Details Brooke!"
"That first night, it was twice, but I had four orgasms Peyton," Brooke said as she got a dreamy look on her face. "And we've kind of been making up for lost time since then."
"Oh I am so jealous of you right now," Peyton said in an admiring tone. "How do you two manage it when you have children in the house?"
"I don't know," Brooke admitted. She then smiled as she said. "I've been wearing a lot of dresses and skirts lately. Lucas can get better access that way."
"I might have to try that," Peyton said. "You have no idea how jealous I am of you right now. I mean you're getting a lot of hot sex and I'm getting nada."
"Well Luke and I will take the kids on Christmas night if you want," Brooke said. "I know Lucas promised Jake we'd take them for you when Dylan was a little better and Jake said it could be our Christmas present to you guys."
"Oh thank you!" Peyton squealed excitedly. "I can't wait until Christmas!"
"I knew that would make your day," Brooke beamed. "And we want to invite everybody here for Christmas and New Year."
"Really?" Peyton asked surprised. "You guys are doing both?"
"Yeah, we've got plenty of space," Brooke assured her. "New Year is gonna be like our house warming party too."
"You are gonna need a vacation or something after that," Peyton told her. "That actually works out good because my dad can't make it back for Christmas."
"Aww that's a shame," Brooke said sincerely. "Well maybe Lucas and I can have a little weekend away someplace."
"Three guesses what you two would be getting up to on that," Peyton laughed. "I think I'm gonna do that for Jake's birthday. You'd look after the kid's right?"
"Sure," Brooke told her. "You and Jake have done it plenty of times for us, so it's only fair we start repaying you. And it's a good job Jake's firing blanks now huh?"
"Yeah," Peyton giggled. "But Lucas isn't. I reckon you're already pregnant. You should so get a test and do it, because if you are that'll be a great Christmas present for Lucas."
"Peyton, I don't think I'm pregnant." Brooke insisted.
"Look at it this way. You've got pregnant three times in the blink of an eye without even trying," Peyton explained. "Lucas managed to father three children in the exact same circumstances. Put you both together and I say it's the maternity wards dream. Even more so than Jake and I. I mean seeing as though I'm never heading back there, someone will have to take my place."
"Peyton!" Brooke giggled.
"Brooke just get a test and do it for me okay?" Peyton said. "It'll stop bugging you if you do that."
"Okay, okay. I'll do a test," Brooke said with a sigh. "If it'll shut you up."
"Awesome," Peyton said as she stood. "I'm just gonna go get you one now because I can't wait any longer. You know what I'm like. You want anything else while I'm out?"
"No I'm fine Peyton." Brooke told her laughing as she shook her head.
"The pharmacy has those new state of the art ones where you can find out super early, so I'm gonna get you a whole lot of them. I won't be long Brooke."
"Do you reckon we'll be able to sneak off from the Princess Palace or do you think we'll be surrounded by pink and girly all day?" Jake asked Lucas jokingly.
"I just pity our boys," Lucas said with a laugh. "You think they'll be able to survive?"
"We need more guys to back us up," Jake said. "I seem to get lost in a huge swarm of girlyness in my house. I mean there's only me, Brandon and Jake Junior against the rest."
"What are the odds in your house? Three males against five females?" Lucas asked with a grimace. "Man I would hate to be you."
"I know," Jake said shaking his head. "I'm totally having panic attacks when I think of the teenage years and puberty."
"I'm not even gonna think about that until it happens," Lucas said looking a little grossed out. "There's years yet."
"You're lucky. You only have four females against three guys," Jake said looking like he was sulking. "You're not as outnumbered as I am."
"I can sort mine too," Lucas said laughing. "I'll just have to get Brooke pregnant and pray for another boy."
"At least you can alter yours," Jake said. "I can't even do that."
"You're the one who got the vasectomy."
"It was either that or no more sex," Jake said looking at him with a scowl. "How can I not live without sex? You just wait until Brooke's screaming at you to get a vasectomy."
"Brooke will never do that," Lucas said smiling. "She likes babies too much."
"How many did you buy Peyton?" Brooke asked her eyes widening as she saw the amount of pregnancy tests in the bag Peyton thrust at her.
"They were on an offer where you get three for the price of two," Peyton said. "As well as being half price."
"You are nuts you know that?" Brooke asked shaking her head.
"Would you just go and pee on one already?" Peyton told her. "The anticipation is killing me."
"Peyton, if this turns out positive, you can't tell Jake okay?" Brooke told her seriously. "Because if it's gonna be Lucas' present for Christmas, I want him to find out on Christmas day."
"You have my word," Peyton promised. "But if it isn't positive, you better promise me that you'll keep humping Lucas until one of them is."
