"I think it's funny how you've had that nightdress since Christmas day night and have only had it on for a grand total of about twenty minutes." Lucas laughed as he looked at the delicate nightdress at the bottom of the bed.
"Well that has something to do with the fact that a certain hot blonde guy keeps stripping it off me," Brooke giggled back. "Before long it won't even fit me."
"But it's a good reason it won't fit you," he told her as he moved closer to her. He began to kiss her neck in between speaking. "And I don't think you actually realize just how hot you look in it."
It was the early hours of New Years Eve and Brooke and Lucas had still to get some sleep. Lucas was taking every opportunity he could to have his wicked way with Brooke; she wasn't complaining either. Her pregnancy heightened hormones were making her hornier than even he was.
The only downside was that Nathan, Haley, Jamie, Jessica and even Karen and Dan were still staying with them, so they had to be incredibly quiet when they did find time to themselves; and the privacy.
"I take it somebody is ready for action again?" Brooke asked him amused.
"Whenever am I not ready around you Brooke?" he asked half joking half serious. "You make me feel like we're back in high school."
"Only this time we won't get caught by Whitey." Brooke giggled. Lucas joined in.
"No this time it'll be my entire family," he joked before he kissed her passionately. "God I can't get enough of you."
"I kind of got that impression," she told him in a whisper. "And I thought that by now you would have put something in a certain place. I'm still waiting here buddy."
"What are you doing down here?" Peyton asked Jake as she went into their lounge at just after six a.m.
"I couldn't sleep," Jake said with a sigh. "I just can't switch my brain off. I just keep thinking about how the hell we're going to get out of this mess."
"We'll think of a way sweetie," she told him as she rubbed his shoulders. "We always do."
"Peyt, this is worse than ever. I can't see any way out of this mess," Jake said sounding upset. "Apart from going bankrupt. But if I do that, we lose the house, the cars and my half of the business. I don't even know if that would affect Lucas' share."
"I can't believe we went off on one at Brooke and Lucas on Christmas day," Peyton said sounding ashamed. "I didn't mean for that to happen at all."
"You think we're still invited to their New Year party?" Jake asked. "At least we'll be able to eat."
"You know if we do have to get rid of the house, my dad will let us move into his house," Peyton told him. "He's only really there at Christmas and New Year anyway."
"That's only got four bedrooms," Jake reminded her. "It would mean the kids would have to share."
"My dad would probably let us have his room, so there would be two kids in each room. That should be bearable. Shall I ask him?"
"I think you should Peyton," Jake said with a frown. "And I'm gonna have to ask Lucas if he can buy my share of the business. That's the only way out of this mess."
"I suppose I better see how much food we have for the kid's breakfasts," Peyton said with a worried look on her face. "I never thought we'd end up in this position."
"It's my fault Peyton. I feel so bad for getting us in this mess. I can't believe I forgot to pay the medical insurance four separate times. If we didn't have the bills for the last three kids births and my vasectomy we'd be so much better off. How could I have been so fucking stupid as to forget to pay that?"
"Jake don't beat yourself up about this," Peyton told him. "It's easily done, especially when we've been as hectic as we have."
"I hope Lucas can afford to buy my share of the business," Jake said as he ran his hand over his face tiredly. "And if your dad let's us move into his place, we can sell this and the money should pay the bills and we won't have to file for bankruptcy."
"See, there was another way out after all," Peyton told him as she kissed his cheek. "You go get dressed and I'll see what I can rustle up for breakfast."
"Lucas stop! Get off me!" Brooke told him urgently. Lucas frowned as he rolled off Brooke's naked body, his chest heaving.
He watched as she jumped off the bed and sprinted into their en-suite bathroom. He got off the bed and headed towards the bathroom concerned. His ears heard the sound of Brooke throwing up. He was in the bathroom instantly, kneeling by her side rubbing her back and holding her hair away from her face.
She eventually stopped and sat back on the tiles as she breathed in well needed air. Lucas broke off some toilet tissue and handed it to her so she could wipe her mouth. She did and threw it into the toilet and flushed.
Lucas stood and then helped her to her feet and she headed to the sink to brush her teeth. Lucas watched feeling guilty for her having to go through this. She finished brushing her teeth and turned to face him.
"You're brooding." she told him with a cheeky smile.
"I just feel guilty for you having to go through that," he told her as he looked at her intently. "You never had it with your other pregnancies."
"I don't mind baby," she told him as she moved closer to him. "And you know why? Because I'm having your baby finally. That's what I've wanted since high school."
"Me too," he told her as he kissed her forehead gently. He then smiled. "At least there's one thing that gets rid of my horniness around you."
"What? Watching me throw up?" he pulled a face and nodded. She hit him playfully as they heard little feet come running into their bedroom.
"Momma, daddy?" they heard Scarlett call. They quickly grabbed their robes and slipped them on, before heading into their bedroom.
"What is it sweetie?" Brooke asked the miniature version of herself.
"I thirsty. My throat hurts." she said tiredly.
"Come on, let's go get you a drink," Lucas said as he picked her up. She smiled as she hugged him. "Anybody else awake up there yet?"
"Nuh uh," she said shaking her head from side to side dramatically. "All sleeping."
"Well let's go get you a drink then huh?" Lucas suggested and she nodded.
"Momma, you come too!" Scarlett said.
"Sure sweetie," Brooke said with a smile. "I'm just gonna go and check on Dylan first, then I'll be write down and I can get started on breakfast."
"And I'm gonna help," Lucas said looking at her lovingly. "We can't have your momma working too hard now. Especially with the new baby growing in her tummy."
"When do we get to see the new baby?" Scarlett asked as they headed out of Brooke and Lucas' bedroom.
"Well we get to see it in person when he or she is born," Lucas began to explain as he headed down the stairs. Brooke went into the nursery. "But we get to see a special kind of photo before then."
"Awesome!" Scarlett replied causing Lucas to laugh.
"You got that from Ryan huh?" Lucas asked. Scarlett nodded and grinned widely as they walked into the kitchen. "What do you want to drink?"
"Nana milk." she replied.
"Banana milk coming right up." he told her as he sat her at the table. Brooke came through the door in a pair of pajama's and carrying Dylan who was wide awake. She was smiling widely.
"Dada!" Dylan said as he saw Lucas. Lucas' eyes went wide and an incredibly wide smile lit his face up. He went over to Brooke and Dylan.
"He said dada!" Scarlett squealed.
"He sure did, didn't you little guy?" Lucas asked as he picked Dylan out of Brooke's arms.
"Dada!" Dylan repeated ending the world with a gurgle.
"I just had to bring him down when he said that," Brooke said happily. "You want me to finish that shake?"
"Yeah, if you don't mind honey," Lucas answered as he kissed her. He was about to join Scarlett at the table when the phone rang. He changed his direction and picked the phone up. "Hello?"
"Hey Luke, its Jake." the voice at the other end said.
"Hey Jake! You okay man? We haven't heard from you since Christmas Day. What happened?" Lucas asked.
"That's kind of why I'm calling you. I need to talk to you and it's really important," Jake began. "It's kind of about the business."
"Oh okay. Hang on one sec," Lucas said as he covered the mouth piece of the phone up. He beckoned for Brooke to come over. She did and took Dylan from his arms. "Have we got enough breakfast stuff to invite Jake and Peyton over? He needs to talk to me about the business."
"There's plenty," Brooke told him with a smile as she handed Scarlett her milkshake. "The more the merrier right?"
"Jake you still there?"
"Yeah." Jake answered.
"Do you, Peyton and the kids want to come over for breakfast?" Lucas asked. "I'm sure there'll be someplace we can talk here. And we still have your presents for you from Christmas."
"You sure?" Jake asked surprised. He had expected them to be a little off with them. "We'd love to come over Lucas. Thanks man."
"No problem. We've not started it yet but we're about to, so get your asses over here as soon as."
"We will Luke," Jake told him gratefully. "This means a lot man."
"It's only breakfast." Lucas said into the phone, looking puzzled.
"Like I said, it means a lot." Jake said before hanging the phone up. Lucas put the receiver down and looked at Brooke, who had just finished putting Dylan into his bouncy chair.
"That was weird," he told Brooke as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her front against his. "Jake wants to talk to me about the business. He sounded really depressed. That's why I invited them for breakfast and then he says it means a lot."
"That is odd," Brooke said as she kissed Lucas again. "I wonder if it's why they were so weird on Christmas day."
"He mentioned something about that," Lucas said as he kissed her again. Scarlett giggled from her spot at the table causing Brooke and Lucas to pull away from each other. "Right, seeing as though we have company coming for breakfast, I think we should all go and get dressed. Scarlett can you wake everybody up on your floor sweetie."
"Uh huh momma!" she replied as she slid out of her seat. Brooke picked Dylan back up and the four of them left the kitchen to get ready for the mayhem that would be breakfast.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Lucas asked Jake as they went down to the basement a few hours after breakfast had been eaten.
It was the only place that had no children running around. Luckily Brooke kept it neat and tidy and had turned the main part an extra sitting room almost. There were also two other rooms that were empty but could easily be turned into bedrooms. Brooke was planning to do so one day.
"It's pretty serious," Jake said as they sat down on a sofa. "I'm in a financial mess Luke. I need to sell my share of the business; otherwise I'll have to file for bankruptcy. We're gonna have to sell the house and move into Peyton's dad's. And it's all my fault because I forgot to pay the medical insurance. So we had no cover for the last three pregnancies and my vasectomy."
"Seriously?" Lucas asked shocked. "I wasn't expecting anything like that."
"I wanted to know if you would buy my half of the business."
"Jake, I don't know if I can afford to," Lucas replied honestly. "I mean I have this new house to pay for. I mean I know I don't have a mortgage, but the bills and taxes and stuff are pretty high."
"Couldn't you get a mortgage on it just to cover the amount?" Jake asked desperately.
"Jake if I did that, I'd be risking being made homeless myself. Brooke and I have another baby on the way remember? I wouldn't get a mortgage to cover anyway because they'd look at my income and say it's a risk. Brooke and I only got this house because of the money I got for the land where my old house was and the insurance." Lucas told him.
"Do you know anybody with enough money who would be able to buy me out?"
"Not really," Lucas answered as he thought. "What about your parents? Would they help you out?"
"The reason I took over was so they could retire," Jake said. "I don't think they'd come back to it."
"I think they would help you out rather than lose it," Lucas told him. "And who said they had to run it? They could just help you out financially and you still work."
"You know I never even thought of that," Jake said as it dawned on him that his parents would be able to help. "All I kept thinking of was loans and another mortgage but kept getting refused. Hell they wouldn't even let us have anymore credit cards. Thanks for this Lucas."
"Hey I didn't do anything," Lucas said as they stood. "Do you want to go and watch your kids open their belated presents?"
"Sure," Jake confirmed as he stood. "And thanks for the breakfast. We don't even have any money to buy it."
"What?" Lucas asked gob smacked. "You can't afford food? Jeez Jake, why didn't you say anything sooner?"
"Because I was ashamed," Jake confessed as his eyes filled with tears. "I'm supposed to provide for my family, but I've let them down in the worst possible way. The last thing I wanted was to let more people than necessary know."
"Well, you, Peyton and the kids are always welcome here. We won't mind making extra food. And as long as your kids leave our house intact there won't be any problems," Lucas replied with a smile. "Hey I got some news for you that will cheer you up."
"What's that?" Jake asked as he wiped at his eyes.
"I asked Brooke to marry me and she said yes." Lucas replied.
"Really?" Jake asked smiling. "It's about time you guys. Congratulations."
"Thanks man," Lucas said as they hugged. "I hope you don't mind, but I asked Nathan to be my best man."
"No, that's totally fine Luke," Jake replied genuinely. "I don't think I could handle the pressure of being a best man right now. You guys have a date set yet?"
"No net yet. We will have soon though."
"Do you think I've made enough food?" Brooke asked Peyton as she studied the large dining table. It was packed with food and there wasn't a space to be seen.
"Brooke I think you've made enough to feed all of Tree Hill." Peyton told her.
"Well whatever's left you guys can take home with you tomorrow," Brooke told her with a smile as she hugged her. "Don't want you guys starving on me."
"Thanks Brooke." Peyton beamed.
While Jake and Lucas had been chatting in the basement, Brooke and Peyton had had a heart to heart in the lounge, while Haley and Karen did the dishes and Dan and Nathan were playing with the children.
Peyton had told Brooke everything that Jake had told Lucas. Brooke's reaction had been almost identical to Lucas'. She had also told her about the engagement and having Haley as her maid of honor. Peyton had been completely fine about it as she had been maid of honor at Brooke's wedding to Julian.
Peyton had also had time to speak to her father about moving into his house and he had said it was fine. He was also coming to the party but was taking the children home after midnight.
"Right all we need now is your dad Peyton and we can get this party started." Brooke announced.
"Brooke we have a problem." Lucas announced as he came up to where she was standing with Peyton. She watched him as he did.
"We sure do," she said as she kinked her eyebrow at him. "You look far too sexy for your own good tonight."
"Oh I do huh?" Lucas asked smiling as he kissed Brooke lovingly on the lips.
"You know if you guys need to go and take care of something, I can always cover for you if anybody asks." Peyton said with a smile.
"Maybe later," Brooke told her. "I think I'll tease him for a little while longer yet. What's this problem anyway?"
"Well the only non-alcoholic drink we have is coffee, or tap water." Lucas announced.
"What happened to all the soda we bought?" Brooke asked shocked. "You're not telling me the kids managed to drink it all already?"
"They obviously did," Lucas said. "Anyway, my parents have gone to the café to get some from there. So we should be okay."
"So why is it a problem?" she asked amused.
"Because we don't know what soda she has at the café," Lucas said as he placed his hands on her hips. "But she's got some milk left there so you can always have that or a shake."
"Well then, crisis over." Peyton laughed.
"You want to come and check on Dylan with me?" Lucas asked Brooke, his blue eyes looking intently into hers. Peyton shook her head at them.
"So that's the cover story huh?" she asked playfully.
"Well I can't breast feed him can I?" Lucas asked with a laugh. Peyton and Brooke joined in as they got the image in their head.
It was five minutes until midnight and everybody was dancing in the lounge of Brooke and Lucas' house. Peyton had created a play list on Lucas' laptop so there was a constant supply of music. Lucas sauntered over to Brooke a mischievous smile on his lips.
"Hey you." he greeted as his eyes ran over her figure.
"Hey yourself," she returned as she licked her lips. "You look even hotter than you did earlier."
"I have a suggestion," he told her as he took hold of her hands. "Come with me and I'll fill you in."
She let him guide her out of the lounge and towards the staircase in the main hall. He surprised her by opening the door to the coat closet and pulling her inside. He pulled the bolt that was on the inside.
"I'm glad that last owners of this house put this lock on here," Lucas said as he kissed Brooke passionately. He pulled away from her and looked at his watch. Three minutes to go. "I want to see the New Year in while I'm inside you."
"You do huh?" Brooke asked as she watched him unfasten his trousers and pull them and his boxers down.
He pulled the lower part of her dress up so it was around her waist and made an appreciative noise as he saw the barely there underwear. He ripped it off her in one swift movement, before he lifted her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist as he plunged deep into her in one swift movement. He managed to see his watch. One minute.
"You think you'll be able to come in less than sixty seconds?" he asked sexily.
"Lucas, even you can't manage to make me come that fast." Brooke told him as he began to move within her.
He usually started off slow and loving, but his movements were hard and fast. He moved a hand down between them and used his fingers to give her added pleasure. He was determined to make her orgasm as the clock struck midnight. Brooke gasped as she felt herself hurtling towards a pleasure eruption already.
Lucas groaned into her ear as he continued his frenzied thrusting. He could hear the ten second countdown beginning in the lounge. He sped up his speed and force even more and Brooke was trying her best not to moan too loud so she wouldn't alert anybody to what they were doing.
Just as the countdown reached one to announce midnight, Lucas pressed his thumb hard against her clit, sending her over the edge. His lips covered hers to muffle her moans that were spilling from her lips. He grunted into her mouth as her internal walls clamped down around his shaft, sending him over the edge with her.
Both were trying to keep their yells of ecstasy as quiet as they could, but both found it near on impossible. After what seemed a lifetime, but in reality was only seconds, Lucas let his hold on her go and she stood on shaky legs as they both panted.
"That was certainly the best way to see the New Year in by far," Brooke panted in a whisper. "I hope there's plenty more of that."
"Well Brooke, I certainly started the year as I mean to go on," Lucas told her smiling sexily. "Now I think we better hurry up and get sorted and back out to our guests before they realize we're missing."
