Chapter 34

Lucas watched as Brooke slept with Drew in her arms, holding him tight. It was a beautiful sight, one that he had been unable to take his eyes off for more than an hour. After talking to Sara, Lucas had gone back to the nursery. At first he had meant to wake her up but he somehow couldn't do it or maybe he didn't want to. Waking her would mean round two with her and that's the last thing he wanted to do. So he watched her. He watched the way she held the baby with expertise. He watched the way she slept. Brooke Davis was defiantly a beautiful woman there was no denying that and her holding Drew only made her more.

Walking around his nephew's room Lucas began to remember his own childhood. He remembered his mother. Her laughter, her smile, and the way she always made him feel better no matter what. His life had changed dramatically after his parent's death. He remember the funeral like it was yesterday. It had been a cold, dreary, raining day. He had stood tall and proud next to his grandfather. His grandmother had been devastated, and had held onto to Nathan who was hysterical. But not Lucas he didn't cry, he was a man and his father had always said men didn't cry. Later on he had cried like a baby. Sara had held him that day, nobody else had seen it. That was the pattern of Lucas's life; no one ever saw how he felt. He hid his feelings from the world. He let a few people into his life. He had his family, Sara, his boys as he liked to call his best friends, but that was it. Once a long time ago in Spain he had let someone in but that had backfired, and nearly broken him. But that had been a long time ago and he rarely thought about it.

He had chosen never to follow any of the patterns that his family had set for him. He hated to follow the rules. He had gone to Columbia instead of Yale. He had studied journalism, instead of business. He had gone to work at a magazine, instead of Scott Corp. He never did what his grandfather had wanted, but in the end he had ended up where his grandfather always said he would, as president of Scott Corp. Part of him blamed himself for Nathan's death. While he had gone off to Europe writing for a sports magazine, fulfilling his dreams Nathan had stayed to do the right thing as Sara had put it. Nathan had done the whole business school, country club, perfect girlfriend life. Lucas had partied his way through Europe, his brother on the other hand had been miserable. Maybe miserable wasn't the right word but it was obvious that he had not been happy. Then Haley James had walked into his life. The other woman as his grandmother called her. Mae Scott couldn't even say her name. She blamed her for Nathan's death and the embarrassment that Brooke had been subjected too.

None of that matter anymore though. His brother was gone and he would never see him again. But he had Drew and he would make sure that he would never fail Drew like he had failed Nathan. Never again, what had happen with the nanny would never happen again, even if it meant him quitting the presidency. Drew would always come first no matter what. He walked back towards Brooke and watched as Drew began to stir.

"Right on time" he said aloud.

One thing about babies no matter what they always woke up at the same time to eat. He walked over to Brooke and Drew and knelt down next to them. Drew opened his eyes and look into Lucas's and smiled. Smiling back he gently nudge Brooke to wake her up.

"Brooke" he said softly

"Umm"

"Brooke wake up."

"Five more minutes."

He smiled as he nudged her once again. "Brooke"

She woke up with a start and look around the room; he could tell she was confused not realizing where she was. She smiled as she saw Drew laying on her chest with his head held up high, smiling at her. Then the smile turned into a scowl when she saw Lucas. Lucas heart skipped a beat and before she could say anything he handed her the bottle he had been holding.

"Here, if he doesn't get this bottle he'll scream bloody murder. Um just put the nipple in his mouth and he'll do the rest."

Brooke followed his instructions and smiled as she watched Drew take the bottle. Lucas was also smiling as he watched Brooke feed Drew. He could see that his presence was making Brooke feel uncomfortable. Deciding to be the bigger person he took a chance and began to speak.

"Brooke…"

"Don't you dare speak to me Lucas Scott." Brooke said with an icy tone.

"You're not going to make this easy are you? Well look just once be quiet and listen to me. "

"Fine do it. Flip out on me. Tell me what a spoiled brat I'm being go ahead."

"Brooke thank you. I mean it Thank you"

Brooke looked confused as she heard Lucas words. "Excuse me."

"I mean it thank you. I feel like the biggest fool. I promised to take care of Drew and look what I did. I basically handed his care over to a witch. I feel horrible; I don't want to even imagine what would have happen if you hadn't come to the house today. It's all my fault I've been consume with work and the budget that I forgot that Drew was the most important thing. Everything you said today was right. I promise this baby that I will never ever do it again. If I have to quit my job and take care of him full time I will."

Brooke looked up and saw the sincere expression on his face. He looked awful.

"Would you really quit your job?"

"In a heartbeat. The company doesn't matter to me only Drew. There will be a zillion deals and mergers but Drew will only be small only once. I don't want to miss anything. I want him to grow up in a loving environment. Dam this little boy has been through enough drama to last a lifetime."

"Amen." Brooke added laughing. "I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have assumed that you knew what the nanny was doing. I know better than anyone how people can act one way and be another way. I learned that lesson already."

She's referring to Nathan, Lucas thought to himself. "Look Brooke just let me say thank you. I rather not get into a deep conversation about this. I rather just let it go okay."

He's embarrassed. Brooke thought to herself as she stared into his blue eyes. There was something about Lucas Scott that made him seem aloof. She had practically known him all her life but she didn't even know him. How was that possible?

"Fine I get it. Well I better leave here take him now." Brooke said as she handed Lucas thee baby. The minute that Lucas put Drew on his chest he began to wail. "Shhh Drew it's me Luke. Drew calm down."

He began to walk around the room patting the baby's back as Brooke watched them with a worried expression. After a few more minute Brooke walked towards them no being able to handle the wailing. Lucas handed her the baby who quiet down the minute he reached Brooke's arms.

"I think you have a fan." Luke said smiling

"I'm sorry about this here he's quiet now, take him." She added as she handed Luke the baby

Once again Drew began to cry, and once again he stopped the minute Lucas gave him back to Brooke.

"So Brooke got any plans tonight?"

Four Hours Later…

"I am exhausted. I never realized how much work a baby is. No wonder Erica is always tired. I don't how these women with twins do it, oh my god can you imagine triplets."

"I can't believe you finally got him to sleep by signing Usher. I can't believe it Usher my nephew. He couldn't like something cool like The Stones or Keene."

"There is nothing wrong with Usher. Who the hell is Keene?"

"Oh god Davis you've got a lot to learn. Hey come on lets get out of here before he wakes up again."

Brooke smiled as she covered Drew with a blanket. She leaned down and gave him a quick kiss.

"Yeah I better go."

Walking the stairs Lucas realized he wasn't at all tired.

"So does your family know you're here? You called them right; I don't want them to worry."

Brooke erupted into giggles. "Yes Mr. Scott they know where I am. Actually my parents are out of town and Glamma, well god knows where she's off too."

"Yeah Glamma is defiantly a character. Hey I know you've been here for hours but um do you want get some ice cream. I mean I have every flavor in the freezer and I can make you a sundae. I know stupid um sorry. Um… I just don't know how else to repay you."

They were standing in the foyer, neither of them were moving. Brooke wasn't tired. She looked at her watch, it was late. She had no desire to go home yet. Smiling she looked at Luke and when a serious expression said.

"You better have sprinkles."
