Lucas went down slightly annoyed. It was like destiny was playing him again. For once in a long time he was happy, in peace and then a hurricane had to come over his life and threaten everything he had built.

He hated to see the doubts in Stephanie's eyes and he didn't know how to make her feel safe in their relationship. He was pretty sure as hell that spending time with Brooke was not part of the solution.

When he a saw her smile at Haley he stopped for a second. His heart tightened in his chest. Gosh she's even more beautiful than my memories. He thought with some nostalgia.

Brooke stopped smiling as soon as she saw Lucas standing there. The years had been so kind to him, he was irresistible. She instinctively put some order to her hair.

Seeing Brooke's facial expression change Haley turned around to see Lucas. She rolled her eyes. Oh boy! It's going to be weirder than I thought. She thought.

"Hey…" Said Lucas standing awkwardly from one foot to another.

"Hey…" Said Brooke standing up not knowing if she had to hug Lucas or what.

Nobody talked for about 10 seconds, which seemed to be an eternity for all of them.

"Well…. Sorry to interrupt you guys." Said Haley with sarcasm. "But my husband is waiting for this." She said showing them the Mars bars.

Lucas nodded.

"Plus STEPHANIE is there too." She added insisting on her name. "I'll see you later," she added sending a disapproving look to Lucas before leaving them. She didn't want to witness the Brooke and Lucas reunion.

"Do you want to get some coffee?" Asked Lucas thinking that it would be better to sit somewhere then to stand and smile like two morons in the middle of an hospital entrance hall.

"Yeah." Said Brooke nodding following him to the cafeteria. She never thought she would face him ever again and definitely not today. She imagined in her head over a million times what she would say to him if she met him again and now that it was here the problem was she didn't know where to start.

They sat at a table sitting across from each other.

"So…I saw your clothing line made it big time!" Said Lucas trying to stay on a friendly subject. "Congratulations!! You should be thrilled."

"EH…" She said shrugging. "Life has been pretty good in that area but it's not enough to compensate for the rest." She said clearly meaning something else.

Lucas nodded looking at his cup.

"And how has been life?" She asked seeing his discomfort.

"I can't complain." Said Lucas sincerely not wishing to go into too many details. "I went to college and now I'm teaching. The kids are just great." He cleared his throat. "What about you?" He asked instinctively, immediately regretting his question.

She locked her eyes on his. "Well…I've spent the first year crying with a broken heart, the second I spent it hating you and the three following years I've spent them wondering." She sighed, her lips shivered, she was trying to contain her tears. "Wondering why you left, why you gave up that easily…why you didn't fight for us…why you stopped loving me." She added still looking at him like she was trying to read into his soul. "Tell me Luke…Why!" She asked.

"I…What?" Asked Lucas surprised. This is a nightmare! He thought with despair looking around hoping for a way out. "You're the one who broke up with me remember!" He said a bit more aggressively than he intended. It was really rude for her to ask this like that, now… here! He sighed. It was the time to come clean. "I'm sorry," he said sincerely. "You're right," He finally said calming down. "I could have fought for us but…but I didn't want to." He said sincerely.

His reply had the effect of a slap on Brooke. She never expected such an answer. "Would you mind elaborating?" She asked trying to hide her surprise.

Lucas sighed. "Our relationship was too hard Brooke, there was way too much drama in it. We never were truly happy together and I guess that a part of me…" He smiled sadly "and if you're honest a part of you too, always knew that we weren't meant to be."

Brooke looked down and fiddled with her coffee cup.

"Be honest Cheery." Said Lucas nicely. "Looking back we can clearly see what was never meant to be and that's us."

"You don't know that!" Said Brooke stubbornly.

"Of course I do!" Said Lucas with some sadness. He was taking a trip back memory lane without even wishing for it. "Look at Nathan and Haley, they've been separated for 5 years but they still love each other like day one! It's like they never lost their way." He said trying to keep his smile up. "They're meant to be. Look at us now…we don't even love each other anymore…we didn't even miss each other." He added with sincerity.

"Who said I don't love you anymore?" She asked with defiance. "Who said I didn't miss you?"

"Your voice is clearly saying you don't love me anymore Brooke." He shook his head and laughed. "There's no love in your tone…It's defiance! As for missing me you prolly did but you missed Lucas your friend just like I missed my friend Brooke."

He saw pain in her eyes and felt bad for putting it there.

"You will always have a special place in my heart Brooke. Come on! You were my first love and that won't ever really fade away but…" He stopped he didn't want to hurt her.

"But you love someone else…" Brooke said finally understanding Lucas' behavior.

"I do…" He said with a smile thinking about Stephanie "and I want to spend my life with her. I…I think I was destined to run away because a part of me knows that she and I are meant to be." He added uncomfortably. He felt weird to confess his feelings for his girlfriend to an ex.

"Well…I guess that's it then?" Asked Brooke seriously. "Did we get closure? Because if we did…it still sucks." She added shaking her head.

"I guess…"Said Lucas not wanting to tell her that this meeting actually helped him. He was sure now of what he wanted and that was his relationship with Stephanie was heading the right way.

"You know what…it's better to stop there," said Brooke with a sad smile. "At least for today." She added standing up. "Please say hi to Nate for me and tell him I'll come back tomorrow. I'm a bit tired and I'm sure he needs some time with his family. I…It was good seeing you again." She finally said leaving fast.

Lucas stayed sitting for a while. This talk was one of the most emotional one's he had in a long time, but he felt better then he had in a long time.

When he arrived back in the room he found Haley, Nathan and Stephanie joking together. They already adopted her and he knew that his mother and Keith fell in love with her as soon as they met her.

What else could I ask for? He thought looking at her sitting next to her. "Brooke will come back tomorrow" he said to Nathan. "She told me to tell you hi." Said Lucas taking Stephanie's hand.

"Are you okay?" She asked looking at him before squeezing his hand.

"I'm just fine." He said kissing her lips quickly. "And…And I love you." He whispered into her ear.

"Sorry?" She almost shouted she was so surprised.

Both Haley and Nathan looked at Stephanie with surprised and burst into laugher.

"What the hell is happening over there?" Asked Nathan with laugher in his eyes.

"Oh not much," said Lucas winking. "I just said to my girlfriend that I loved her."

"Way to go!!" Said Nathan cheering. "Steph…. Would you care to reply?"

"I…" She blushed. "I love you too," she almost whispered.

Haley felt bad seeing how uncomfortable she was and so she decided to meddle.

"I'm pregnant," she said to get Lucas' attention.

"Yeah…" Said Lucas nodding before freezing. "You…wait…what?"

"Expecting a baby…." Said Haley smiling when Stephanie mouthed her a thank you.

"I…I don't know what to say," said Lucas his eyes looking from Haley to Nathan.

"Well…that's a first!" Said Nathan jokingly.

"I've been a happy uncle once and I can't believe it's happening again." He simply said. He stood up and hugged Haley tight. "Congratulations, life is finally correcting the past." He added with tears in his eyes.
