A/N: Sorry it's up so late, but hopefully this will bring my Brucas lovers close together because of the surprise ending of this chapter.
"Explain to me again why we are doing this?" Brooke asks as she packs her and Sophia's bags.
"Rachel invited us to her cabin. I think it would be good for all of us to just hang out," Lucas says as he sits down on Brooke's bed.
"Yeah, but not everyone else has a two year old."
Lucas nods his head and Brooke sits down next to her boyfriend.
"Brooke, it's a way for us to forget about the school shooting. Dan being injured, me being injured, it's just why now? It's been a few months since the shooting."
"I'm not going to question Rachel's offer Brooke, but I think it would be good to get away from the city for awhile. I can teach Sophia how to fish even though she's two."
Brooke nods her head with a smile.
"Alright, I'm just glad things are going to be okay and I mean Jake is bringing Jenny so Sophia has someone to hang out with while us adults to more than just kiss," Brooke says with a grin.
Lucas kisses Brooke on the lips. When he pulls away he smiles.
"Mama, dada," Sophia says as she walks into the room.
"What is it baby?" Brooke asks as she pulls away from Lucas.
"I has to go potty," Sophia says with a frown.
Brooke chuckles and stands up from her bed.
"Okay, baby, let's go get you to the potty."
Lucas continues to smile as Brooke and Sophia exit the bedroom.
"I love my life."

"So, my parents only use this place for their clients so we are home free. You can choose what room's you want except for the master. There are flat screen TV's upstairs and ATV's in the garage. Enjoy."
Rachel smiles when she sees her friends run to find rooms.
Lucas, Brooke and Sophia make their way into their room. Brooke places Sophia on the bed and Sophia grins.
"I like it."
"I like it too baby, how about you, daddy?" Brooke asks Lucas.
"I love it," Lucas crawls on the bed and Sophia settles into her father's chest and yawns.
"Someone's tired," Lucas comments.
Brooke looks at her watch and smiles.
"Well it's a little past someone's naptime."
"I not tired mommy."
"I think you are Soph, but I'm sure daddy will lie with you," Brooke looks at Lucas whose eyes were starting to close.
"Yeah, baby, daddy will sleep to."
"M'kay," Sophia says as she closes her eyes.
Brooke smiles and steps out of the room.

Brooke walks into the kitchen to see Rachel sitting at the table by herself. Brooke sighs and sits down next to Rachel.
"Why did you bring us here?"
Rachel looks at Brooke and frowns.
"I don't have any ulterior motives if that's what you think. I'm just trying to be nice."
"Thanks, I mean with everything that happened, just thanks."
"Of course."
"Haley told me what happened in the Tutor Center that day," Rachel looks at Brooke with a sad expression. "I'm really sorry Rachel, about your baby. I don't know what I would do if I lost Sophia."
"It's okay Brooke. I guess some higher being didn't want me to be a mom right now and its okay, but I will always love my baby."
"Any mother would."

"I think this weekend is going to be amazing," Haley mentions as she settles down next to Nathan in the Jacuzzi. "I think this is what everybody needs too, Brooke and Lucas as well as Rachel."
"Yeah, things are finally returning to normal. Well except for the fact that my dad is nicer."
"Isn't that a good thing though, I mean haven't you always wanted your dad to be nicer?"
Nathan puts his hands in the water and nods his head at his wife.
"Yeah and I think for once I believe his kindness. Lucas told me that he and Sophia spend the day together one day a week. It's sweet actually. Dan messed up with us, but he's making it up to us by being with the next generation."
Haley scoots closer to her husband and Nathan wraps his arm around her.
"Do you think he'll be like that with our children?"
"I don't know Haley, but at least we won't have to worry about that for awhile."
Haley bites the bottom of her lip.
"Yeah, at least for awhile."

"Can you believe it? She's actually yours," Peyton whispers with a smile.
Jake laughs and nods his head as he shuts the door to their room. Jenny was sleeping.
"I'm happy. I get to be a dad again without Nikki being out there. I have no worries. She can't ever get Jenny."
"It's great seeing you two together again. I missed you so much Jake, you don't even know."
"I think I do Peyton," Jake says as they make their way into the lounging area where everyone was at. "I missed you too and it hurt that I didn't get to see you. The phone calls were nice, but they were never the same."
Peyton kisses Jake before turning to the group.
"Jenny asleep?" Brooke asks.
Peyton nods her head.
"Is Sophia asleep?"
"Yep," Brooke says with a smile. "Okay, so I think it's time we sit down and just enjoy the moment. We get very few of those."
"Actually, I have something I want to say," Lucas says with a smile.
Nathan glances at his brother and smiles because he knows what was going to happen. Lucas turns to Brooke.
"I love you Brooke Davis. You gave me a daughter and you let me be a father. My life has meaning because of you. When you broke into my car and stripped naked," Brooke blushes and their friends laugh. "I told you that you didn't have to do that to get my attention and you didn't. But what I didn't tell you was that at that moment I knew that my life was going to change I just didn't think it would change this much, but I'm glad it did and that's because of you," Lucas kneels down in front of Brooke and he sees tears come into her eyes. Lucas pulls a velvet box out of his pocket. "What I am trying to say is that Brooke Penelope Davis; will you do the honors of becoming my wife?"
The group was all smiles as they waited for Brooke's answer. Brooke kept looking down at the ring and then back up at Lucas. When she locks eyes with Lucas she whispers just one word.
"Yes."
