A/N: SoOoOoOoOoO I'm finally home; safe and sound! Let me tell you how freezing cold it is here- well compared to Cambodia's humid temp that is! :0) I know I said I would post this chapter as soon as I got home Sunday… but I didn't realize "Sunday" actually meant "Monday" because of the time difference not to mention "Monday" somehow turned into walking through my front door literally 20minutes ago. Some unexpected things came up on our departure home but the important thing is that my family and I made it home safe so in result of that I'll just continue apologizing for the delay in posting this chapter! Anywho... Here's the infamous loooooooong awaited very over-due- accidently missed posted chapter. I hope I didn't disappoint any of you with this 56 day old update! I promise the next chapter won't take this long to come up! I for sure won't make that mistake again! I was going to re-read this chapter first and make changes by adding and editing this update… but decided against it since you've all been so patient with me! Just remember that…this is the exact same update which would have been posted 56 days ago! :0)
Here's what would have been Chapter 35….
PLEASE ENJOY MY LOVELIES!! :0)
...
"Okay well, I'll see you later babe" said Jake throwing on his jacket as he finished up his recording session
"Yes you will" she smiled leaning up to pull him in for a kiss "But don't forget tonight's a girl's night out so-"
"I know, I know" he chuckled "I can't keep you in to long" she laughed
"Yup, but once I'm home I'm all yours"
"MmMmm.. can't wait" she smiled brushing her lips against his once more "See ya Rach" he called over his shoulder
"Later Jake" she waved "You sound great by the way"
"Thanks" he smiled before heading towards the door
"Its' gonna be just a few more minutes Rach; Mandi's running a little late"
"What's new in that?" scoffed the red head "You should really look into getting a more reliable receptionist- you know maybe someone who actually wants to keep their job" Peyton laughed rolling her eyes as she went through her inbox in the mean time
"Hey, not everyone's like Millie-spoiling you and BDavis rotten"
"Yeah well, it's not our fault Millie enjoys her job" she spat back as Peyton stuck her tongue out at the red head
"Yeah, yeah pipe it down over there. You know this would be great timing for you to be checking your-oh-so important messages" Rachel did an eye roll as she reached for her phone
10mins later
"Oh for the love of god will you just answer that already Peyton?" hissed the red head as the curly blonde's depressing emo ringtone filled their ears once again. "You're not going to answer that?" She asked kinking her eyebrows
"No, it's not important" she replied hitting the side button as she set the phone down on her desk to put on her jacket
"Not important" Rachel chuckled knowing that the curly blonde always answers her phone especially since she never gives out her personal cell "That's like the 4th call in the past 10 minutes. Obviously whoever it is- is trying to get a hold of you"
"Yeah well sometimes that's what voicemail's for" Just then her phone went off again as the red head immediately dove for it
"RACH" hissed Peyton irritated as she held her hand out for her phone
"What? You know how much we hate your depressing ringtones" she smirked swatting the curly blonde's hands away "Peyton Sawyer speaking"
"RACHEL!" she hissed as she tried wrestling the phone out of the red head's hands
"Hey Peyton its' Julian Baker"
"Julian" sneer the red head as Peyton sighed dropping her hands
"You sound busy- is this a bad-?"
"Yeah uh, I'm going to have to call you back" she snapped before hanging up on him. Peyton pushed in her chair as she fixed her jacket avoiding the wraths of the feisty red head
"Julian?" Rachel asked once again as they locked eyes "As in Julian-tall, brunette, handsome-cocky my Julian?" Peyton scoffed rolling her eyes at the red head's tone as she stuck her phone in her jacket pocket
"I didn't know he was your Julian" she replied crossing her hands over her chest as Rachel did an eye roll
"You know what I mean. Why on earth are you talking to Julian? Oh god please don't tell me-" Peyton's mouth dropped open appalled
"Well well well" came a voice from behind them as they turned around
...
"Knock knock; you guys decent" smirked the brunette covering his eyes as Lucas rolled his
"Ha ha" Nathan chuckled dodging Kaliegh's small soft round ball that came flying at his head "Where's the rest of the guys?" asked Lucas
"Jake just finished up at the studio-so he's on his way, Skillz's comforting a very hormonal Bevin but will meet up with us later" Lucas chuckled "Junk, Ferg and Mouth are all working today so that leaves just leaves us for the time being. Where's-" Just then a little coo filled his ears as his eyes glanced around for her "There's my favorite god daughter" he smiled picking her up from her bassinet as he smothered her with kisses "Hi pumpkin"
"Your only god daughter little brother" Nathan did an eye roll as he plopped himself on the couch
"Hi princess; hi" he smiled lifting her over his head as he blew raspberries against her tummy causing her to giggle "Jamie's excited to watch UP with you and Lily later when you and daddy come over"
"Hopefully the movie will hold her attention otherwise Lily's going to be shushing her throughout the night from all her babbling" Nathan chuckled
"Davis working?" he asked looking around for the overly energetic brunette
"Yeah she had a meeting with a client she had to prepare for" he nodded as Kaliegh used his nose as a binkie "We're having a late lunch though"
"Kalie" laughed Nathan as he playfully shook his head at her causing her to smile "What's all that?" he asked motioning towards all the brochures, handouts and info spread out all over the coffee table
"Just some vacation ideas I thought I might surprise Brooke with"
"Cool"
"Yeah, well I figured since we actually never really had a honeymoon and with everything that's been going on-this would be the perfect time"
"You guys might as well since you haven't used the grandparent's gift yet"
"Exactly"
"You planning on taking ladybug here?" he asked kissing her as she giggled "What do you think Kalie? Do you wanna go with boring mommy and daddy, or stay with fun uncle Nate huh?" she let out a little coo before she broke out into giggles at his tickling
"I haven't decided yet. I don't know how Brooke will feel about being away from her for 2 whole weeks. I mean just thinking about it right now is leaning more towards a no" Nathan chuckled "I'd miss you way too much princess" he smiled handing Nathan her bottle as she cooed holding her father's attention
"Well if it'll make you feel any better, your parents, Rachel and I along with everyone else important to her will be" Lucas nodded "She's in good hands"
"I know thanks. That does help put my mind at ease, but still we have a routine that Kaliegh's just gotten use too you know?" Nathan nodded knowing exactly what he was talking about. Just then there was a knock at the door
...
"O-OMG BROOKE" cried Millie as she felt her legs wanting to buckle underneath her as she got closer "BROOKE" she panicked shaking as she watched a big pickup truck repeatedly push a black escalade into a small BMW. "OH GOD, OH GOD PLEASE BE OKAY BROOKE"
"AHHHHHHHHH" screamed the brunette grabbing onto her steering wheel turning it side to side until her knuckles turned white "OH GOD" she cried hysterically slamming down onto the accelerator as she tried to break free from the other two cars "SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!" she yelled hitting the glass window
"BROOKE DAVIS?" he asked surprised doing a double take once he caught glimpse of the brunette in the BMW. "HA, would you look at that!" he exclaimed excitedly hitting his steering wheel "Just the two people I was looking for; god what are the odds of that happening! Must be my lucky day!" he grinned "Didn't I say you'd he sorry if you ever double cross me Dan huh? Now you're going to pay asshole" he sneered as he gunned the accelerator burning and smoking his tires as he pushed the escalade a few more times into the BMW.
"YOU SICK SON OF A BITCH" yelled Dan ranting and raving as the guy in the pickup truck laughed his head off "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU ONCE I GET FREE ASSHOLE" he cursed cringing as the truck once again reversed and plowed right back into his pushing him into the BMW
"What Dan, what; I can't hear you" he laughed "You want more? Okay, hold on tight. I hope you two have your seatbelts on cuz it's going to be a bumpy ride"
"OH GOD/SHIT" the two yelled as they tried to break free
10minutes later
"HEY ASSHOLE; WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! Yelled a couple of bystanders in shock as they ran from different directions "ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY?! HEY!" they continued shouting as they tried their best to stay alive while doing so
"OH GOD, BROOKE" Millie couldn't help cringe and feel sick to her stomach as metal on metal smacked against each other. "SOMEONE CALL 911 PLEASE" she yelled as she finally made it over but couldn't get close enough "BROOKE!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHH STOP, PLEASE" cried the brunette slamming on her now useless horn. Just then her mind got the best of her …
(THIS SECTION IN ITALICS ARE FLASHBACKS)
"Can I give you two a ride" asked a man with a horse and carriage
"Why not it is our engagement night" Lucas replied as he looked over to his pretend wife who was over ecstatic
"In that case the ride is free"
"Omg the diamond ring is gold" exclaimed Brooke beaming as she looked to her hand
"So what do you two have planned for each other?"
"Uh we're going to be a power couple; he's going to be a famous novelist and I'm going to have a fashion line" she beamed
"And we'd have time to have a big family"
"2 boys and a girl"
"And I'll coach little league" he smiled
"Ooh I'll bake treats for the team" he looked at her curiously "Or buy them" they laughed
"And we'll spend summers at our beach house"
"And winters in the south of France"
"It wouldn't matter where we are as long as we're together." he said as they stared deep into each other's eyes as their lips just mere inches apart as both their hearts were rapidly beating. Who would have known that being as drunk as they were; they spoke entirely from their hearts.
"That's the key; success is wonderful, but having someone to love, and have them love you back. Love is what it's all about" said the driver as it pulled them out of their thoughts and back to each other.
"I just want your day to be perfect and special. When you think back to this day, I want you to remember it as one of your most favorite memories. I want to watch and remember you smiling, laughing, crying happy tears, and dancing the night away with me and our family and friends. I just want you to be happy Brooke" She smiled as they gazed lovingly into each other's eyes, not realizing that their faces were inching closer and closer towards one another to the point where their lips met in a very deep passionate soulful kiss. They would then deepen the kiss as moans escaped their lips sending electricity sparks throughout their body like shock waves.
"It's all becoming so real Luke. Soon, well not to soon" she laughs "We're going to get to know the sex of our baby; and then we'll get to go shopping for baby stuff" she shrieks "Unless you don't want to know the sex of our baby, that's okay too; I'm fine with-" Just then she felt his lips brush against hers as she deepens the kiss which quickly turns passionate. Once air was a necessity, they pulled apart as they were now forehead to forehead slowly catching their breaths.
"We can do whatever makes you happy pretty girl" she smiles as he kisses her once more softly on the lips.
"Broody" she shook her head once again as she pressed her fingers against his lips leaving them there. "I didn't realize how selfish, inconsiderate and unfair I've been to you or our baby. You have been nothing but amazing, wonderful-incredible ever since we've first met, and for that I've fallen more and more deeply, madly in love you with you. You make me happy Luke; you make me feel loved, protected and safe. I never wanted you to doubt my love for you ever because you're it for me" she smiled "You are my heart and soul and there's no one else in this world, this lifetime; hell the next 10 lifetimes that I would ever want to spend my life with" he smiled as he wiped away her tears "I'm sorry that I let Chase and his awful parents get to us. I never wanted to keep their talk or his proposal from you baby but I just didn't know how to tell you without having you kill any of them" he chuckles "I'm sorry that I work too much and that I didn't take it easy or that I let stress build up and could have caused harm to our little girl" she sobbed as he wrapped his arms protectively around her "I'm sorry that I took off my wedding rings, I'm sorry that I said I'd marry Chase- but you have to believe me that, that would never happen. I made a promise to myself ever since I was a little girl that I would only get married once in my lifetime so you're pretty much stuck with me for eternity" he smiled
"I wouldn't have it any other way pretty girl" she smiled "As crazy as it may sound, but I made the same promise to myself Brooke. I promised myself that someday I would find the right person to share the love my parents have for one another and every since I met you, I can truly say that you are the one." Her tears continued to glide down her cheeks
"You two are the most important people in my life and I don't know what I would do without either one of you"
"You'll never have to find out" he replied leaning in as he brushed his lips against hers "I love you. You and our baby girl are my life now, my reason of living" she smiled as his hand gently caressed her tummy not once breaking eye contact
"Does that mean you forgive me?" she cried burying her face into his chest as her tears soaked through his shirt. He reached into his pockets pulling out something that belonged to her and only her as the waterworks once again started.
"Just as long as you promise me you'll never ever take these off again"
"Oh Luke" she cooed as her right hand immediately found her heart
"I promise you Brooke Penelope Davis" he smiled as he slipped on her wedding ring and band "that I will be your loving and loyal husband" she grinned through her tears in awe that he remembered their vows "I will share with you all of life's joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, until death parts us" he then kissed her hand as she grabbed him by the collar of his shirt pressing her lips firmly and eagerly against his.
"I love you so much Lucas Eugene Scott" she murmured against his lips before he deepened the kiss
"I love you pretty girl" he smiled brushing a piece of hair behind her ears before they snuggled. Once exhaustion took over her body, she fell into a slumber holding on to Lucas for dear life. He laid there as he watched her sleep unable to take his eyes off her. She looked so peaceful, content-at ease as his smile never once left his face.
"Hi peanut" smiled Brooke as she gently rubbed her tummy. She once again ended up in the baby's nursery, taking that sleeping wasn't an option for her "Mommy, daddy along with your grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins are more than ready to meet you; but to be honest I'm scared, frightened actually." Lucas stood outside the door as he listened to her soft voice "I'm scared that I might take after my witch of a mother" Lucas's heart sunk "I won't even call her your grandmother because she's not let alone does she deserve the title; but grandma Karen, daddy's mommy is a different story. She's amazing baby girl; she raised daddy and your aunt Lily with lots and lots of love. She's even taken me under her wing" smiled the brunette "she's shown me the same love she has for them; something my witch never did for me, but you know what it doesn't matter. What matters is that mommy and daddy will always love you from the bottom of our hearts. We will always be there for you princess. We will teach you everything you need to know, kiss away your bad dreams, boo boo's, heart aches and tears" she said as tears welded up in her eyes. "We will always celebrate your birthdays, eat meals as a family, take you shopping, daddy will try and fight it but we'll make him go with us" Lucas quietly chuckled "Go to every important school event, help you get ready for your dances, and prom- daddy says you can't date till you get married" she laughs "But who is he kidding, you're a Davis-Scott-you're going to be gorgeous just like your parents" he rolled his eyes smirking. That was exactly what he was afraid of "We'll be there for your kindergarten, junior high, high school and college graduation. We'll watch you lead as student body president and as captain of your cheerleader squad unless you totally take after daddy and want to play basketball instead" she paused thinking about it as she continued to rub her tummy "Which will be great too because someday daddy's going to be a basketball coach" Lucas's ears perked up surprised to her words "He just doesn't know it yet. Then later down the road, daddy will be there to walk you down the aisle on your special day; hand you over to your husband as he'll soon make his way back to mommy. I hope that one day you find and fall in love with someone just like daddy baby girl. He's an amazing man- loving, caring, devoted, and very passionate. He's one of a kind. He makes mommy so happy. The best gift he's ever given mommy is you peanut" she smiled as she felt the baby kick. "You think Mommy's crazy right?" she chuckled "I mean here you are still in my tummy and already I've planned out your whole life" she laughed as Lucas couldn't help smile "I know it's going to be a long, long-long time before you grow up; which I'm more than thankful for" she smiled "but I just wanted you to know that no matter what happens, as long as I have you, and daddy my life's complete. This is all new for us and together as a family, we'll take it one step at a time; we'll tackle everything that comes in our way-the good or the bad as a family. You are the most important person to us baby girl, and I'm sorry I've let you and daddy down" she cried as she leaned back into the chair "I took on un-needed stress, worked to much let alone didn't take care of myself even after daddy warned me over and over. I know daddy blames himself, but it wasn't his fault. It was mine. I was inconsiderate and very selfish-" she sigh
"You're nothing but selfish pretty girl" said Lucas accidentally startling her as he walked over and knelt down in front of her "If anything you're selfless baby" he smiled cupping her cheeks as he wiped away her tears with his thumbs. "After everything I just heard now, and experienced with you when it came to Lily and Jluke, I have no doubt in my mind that you're going to be nothing but an amazing mother to our children. Never in a million years will you will ever become your mother Brooke. You are loving-compassionate, caring; you have a heart full of gold baby, and that's everything your mother lacks. You, Brooke Penelope Davis-Scott are truly are an amazing woman. You have made me the happiest man alive, by giving me a family of my own" she smiled as she leaned into his palm as tears once again welded up in her eyes.
"I love you"
"I love you more" he replied as he captured her lips with a searing kiss "You okay?" he asked caressing her cheek as they pulled apart
"This is it; it's time mommy" Brooke felt her heart stop
"Oh my god" she gasp as the parents to be had tears weld up in their eyes
"Really?" asked Lucas in shock as Brooke clung on to him for dear life
"Yeah, we're exactly at 10 centimeters" she smiled as tears streamed down the mommy to be cheeks
"Did you hear that Luke? Our little girl is finally ready to meet us" she cried and laughed at the same time
"I heard pretty girl, I heard" he smiled as he leaned in and kissed her softly
"It's really happening"
"Yeah it is" he said kissing her once again
"I'll see you in a few minutes" they nodded as the nurses wheeled her into the delivery room. Lucas stopped by the waiting room and told them the good news as everyone was now on the edge of their seats. He then suited and scrubbed open before taking his spot next to his amazing wife.
"I love you"
"I love you too Luke" she smiled "This is it; god I'm so scared Lucas" she cried
"Don't be; I'm right here pretty girl" he replied caressing her cheek. "I'm never leaving your side ever. You can do this!" she nodded as she kissed him
"Okay, Brooke this is want I want you to do for me okay?" she nodded as she listened "I want you to take a deep breath in, exhale for me, then take another deep breath, hold it-bare down and push as hard as you can"
"Can you do that for me?" she glanced over at Lucas who gazed down lovingly at her.
"Yes" she replied as he squeezed her hand
"Okay, ready now" instructed the doctor as Brooke followed through
"UUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH" she screamed
"You're doing great Brooke. Okay the second contraction is about 10 seconds away"
"Oh god" she exclaimed
"Ready on three-I want you to push… uh huh… push. We're going to push for five more seconds; five, four, three, two, one; relax"
"It hurts, oh god it hurts" she cried as tears streamed down her cheeks "I can't do this anymore" she sobbed
"You're doing great pretty girl" cooed Lucas as he kissed her temple. "Only a few more pushes"
"Okay, 20seconds until the next contraction-"
"No, no-I can't push anyone" she cried beyond exhausted "It hurts! Please, please don't make me do it" she begged "Lucas make the pain go away"
"Brooke, hey- hey look at me" he said as he cupped her cheeks "You can do this baby. Just hang in there! You're almost done. Only a few more pushes, and she'll finally be here." It broke his heart to see his wife in so much pain as tears welded up in his eyes. "Just a few more pushes and you're all done pretty girl. Come on, you can do it" he said grabbing her hand and looping the other under her knee "On three pretty girl. Take a deep breath; One, two three-push for me Brooke, push for our baby girl!"
"AHHHHHHHHHH" she screamed as she felt another contraction tear at her
"She's crowing! I see the head Brooke; you're doing great" yelled Dr. Cordova "One more big push, you ready"
"Come on baby, you can do it! Do it for our baby girl! Do it so you could hold her in your arms!"
"On three Brooke" instructed the doctor.
"You're doing great pretty girl. On three, here we go! One, two"
"THREE" shouted Brooke as she pushed with all her might "UUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHH" she screamed
"I see her, I see her! She's coming pretty girl" shouted Lucas beyond excited as he edged her on. She rested her head on his shoulder as tears streamed down her cheeks. She was determined to push her baby girl out on this last push so she took a deep breath "Come on baby, one last push and she'll be out. Within seconds she'll be in your arms; opening her eyes up and gazing lovingly at her beautiful, amazing-brave mother!" Brooke had tears in her eyes from the pain as well as her husband's words!
"You are an amazing couch baby" she yelled as he chuckled wiping away at his tears. He leaned over and kissed her temple then her lips.
"I love you!" he smiled. His three little words gave her strength to continue
"Okay, this is it Brooke. You ready?" asked the doctor
"YES! LETS' DO THIS!" she yelled as she lifted her head off her husband's shoulder as she took one last big deep breath now pushing with all her might.
"This is it Brooke" she nodded as she took one last breath, bared down "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, Ohhhhhh godddddddd!" she exclaimed as she fell back onto the pillows as a loud shrilling cry filled the room. Tears once again spilled from her eyes as Lucas kissed every inch of her sweaty face and neck. He didn't care!"
"She's got some great lungs there" smiled the doctor as Brooke and Lucas were beyond joyed
"She's here Brooke; our baby girl's here" cried Lucas as tears streamed down his cheeks
"Mommy, daddy, meet your baby girl" introduced Dr. Cordova as she placed her right on Brooke's tummy
"Oh my god" gasp the brunette still in disbelief "She's here Luke, she's really here" Lucas squeezed her hand as he brushed his lips against hers. "Hi baby girl" cooed Brooke as Lucas caressed their little girl's cheek. They both then leaned in as they kissed their baby girl just as their eyes found one another. "Happy Birthday baby Scott" smiled Brooke as Lucas smiled
"Happy birthday baby Scott" he smiled "I love you mommy"
"I love you daddy" she smiled as he kissed her lips then her forehead
"She's beautiful just like her mommy" Brooke couldn't help smile as she turned and kissed Lucas softly once again.
"She's so tiny"
"She's perfect pretty girl"
"MmMmmm…. she is Luke"
"Would you like to do the honors daddy?" asked Dr. Cordova as she handed him a pair of medical scissors. He nodded, accepting it eagerly as he took a deep breath now wiping away his tears "Right there, perfect" instructed the doctor
"Okay, smile for the camera" said one of the nurses as they posed for their first family photo
"Do we have a name?" Brooke glanced up at Lucas as she held his gaze.
"Kaliegh Hannah Scott"
"That's a perfect name" smiled the doctor. "You did great today Brooke"
"Have I ever told you how incredibly sexy you look surrounded by these three little tykes daddy" she whispered into his ears taking him by surprise
"Hey pretty girl" he beamed as he pulled her in for a hug and a searing kiss
"Ewwww we're at the playground full of kids none of that" whined Rachel as the two adults rolled their eyes laughing
"And how is my beautiful peanut?" asked the brunette as she smothered Kaliegh's cheek with kisses
"Perfect. She's going to be such a happy, cheerie baby like her mother. She's been smiling in her sleep all day" he said as Brooke unbuckled her from her sling that was strapped to her husband's chest.
"You were smiling all day baby girl?" Brooke asked excitedly as she placed her finger in Kaliegh's who now gasped it
"Hi peanut" cooed Brooke as she turned her attention to her daughter "How was spending the morning with your crazy daddy?"
"Great opposed to spending the morning with her crazy mommy" chuckled the blonde as Brooke playfully nudged him in his side
"See if I kiss your daddy again princess" she teased walking away as Lucas grabbed her by the waist smothering her with playful kisses.
"Take that back pretty girl"
"NO!" she laughed
"Take it back" he began to tickle her
"NO! Broody I'm holding your daughter stop it" she giggled smacking his hand away as he pulled her in closer
"Tell me you love me" he smiled holding her by the waist as they locked eyes
"HmMmM… do I love daddy Kalie?" she grinned as Lucas playfully rolled his eyes
"Pretty girl" he pouted as she chuckled
"Awwwww okay, okay-I looooooove yoooooooou Broody" she smiled winking before she brushed her lips gently against his.
"Mommy loves me princess" he cooed as he smothered his baby girl with kisses as he woke her up. "I loooooove yoooooooooo toooooooooo pretty girl and Princess" she giggled as Kaliegh grabbed Lucas's face causing them both to smile ecstatically. As much as the red head joked about how sickening and nauseating it is to be around the happy lovely-dovey couple, she couldn't help smile and be in awe at the love they have for one another. She wanted all that, but is Cooper the one person she wanted it all with?" she sighed as she turned her attention back to Lily
"Where's mommy baby girl?"
"Hi peanut" she cooed as her lips once again softly attacked her face
"Ahhh" he yelped as the brunette giggled
"You almost drooled into daddy's mouth" laughed Brooke as Kaliegh then started sucking on his face causing them both to laugh even harder.
"Daddy tastes good doesn't he Kalie, yes he does?" sniggered Brooke as Lucas chuckled
"You are so mommy's baby girl, aren't you princess" he grinned as she playfully smacked him
"Daddy silly isn't he Kalie; cuz mommy never hears him complaining when I attack his face like this" he chuckled as she placed soft kisses all over his face but once again broke out into laughter once he felt Kaliegh's mouth on his. Once Brooke's laughter died down, she grabbed a binkie off the table and placed it into her daughter's mouth just before wiping his face from his daughter's drool
"What's this Kalie" cooed the brunette as she moved the stuffed animal from side to side rattling it as a bell sound filled their ears grabbing the baby's attention even more
"What's mommy got there princess? What she got there huh?" Kaliegh kept her eyes on the purple monkey as her mouth moved along with the binkie "Is it your purple monnnnnnkey?"
"Do I have your purple monkey peanut? Ha" she playfully gasps still shaking it and moving it from side to side
"It is, isn't it! Mommy's got your monnnnnnkey" he smiled as Brooke took the monkey and gently kissed it against Kaliegh's face. "Muah" she smiled "Muaaaaaahhhhhh"
"Should we give daddy some kisses too Kalie? Yeah we should. Muaaaaaahhhh!" she smiled as she kissed it against his face causing them to laugh as Kaliegh kept her eyes locked on them.
"Come here mommy; you get kisses too" he smiled as he raised their daughter to her face as she once again smothered her with kisses. "I love you pretty girl" he said once they locked eyes
"I love you too baby" she smiled as she leaned in and softly kissed him
"Are you smiling at mommy Kalie?" cooed Brooke as she laid her daughter down after giving her a bath "Yes you are" she beamed "You're a happy girl aren't you peanut?" she asked placing kisses all over her daughter's face "You're all fresh and clean" she cooed as she baby powdered, diapered and lotion her up. "We're going to go to Aunt Peyton's later today because she, Aunt Haley and Aunt Rachel are acting very strange and mommy doesn't like it" she said as Kaliegh grasped her finger "Mommy's going to get to the bottom of it, if it's the last thing I do" she smiled kissing her daughter's fingers just before she pulled a colourful polka dotted onesie over Kaliegh's head. "There all finished" she said gently picking up her daughter and heading downstairs. "Who's that Kalie?" smiled the brunette as Lucas walked through the front door "Is that daddy?" his face lit up to the sight of his two beautiful girls
"Hi princess" he cooed walking over towards them as his lips attacked her face "Pretty girl" she smiled as he brushed his lips against hers
"Eeeewwww daddy's all gross and sweaty Kalie" giggled Brooke
"You know you love it" he smirk devilishly as he pulled them into his arms
"MmMmMm… that I do broody" she murmured huskily against his lips "but taking that your daughter is bathed and clean; you will be too if you want to hold her" he chuckled
"I'm going, I'm going" he replied kissing her once again. He placed another light kiss on his daughter's forehead before jetting up the stairs
"Come on mommy" called out Lucas as he and Kalie slowly got into the pool
"I'll be right there; let me grab the camera"
"Isn't this fun Kalie?" he cooed as he kept her body above water "Smile daddy" instructed the brunette as she snapped a few photos
"Oh god it's freezing in here" she shrieked slowly getting in
"Give it a few minutes"
"Babe" she laughed out loud as she watched her husband try and put Kaliegh on the baby floater "That's way too big for her" he nodded as he tossed it out with one hand "Are you having fun baby girl?" she smiled kissing her daughter's hand "Are you having fun with mommy and daddy?"
"Of course she is" he smiled handing his wife Kaliegh as he grabbed the camera "Smile for daddy Kalie"
"So daddy, what do you think of Kalie's swim suit?" they both glanced down at her little Hawaiian floral bikini
"Very cute, but remind me to tell Aunt Rachel one pieces" he replied pretending to be upset as Brooke rolled her eyes
"WaAaA AaAHhhH" wailed a stirring Kaliegh as Brooke gently tapped the side of her leg trying to calm her down "WaAaAhHh aAhHhH" she fussed as Brooke put away her sketches and turned her attention to her daughter
"I know, I know you're tired peanut. You need to stop fighting it and take your nap honey" she whispered slipping her favorite binkie in her mouth. "You woke up a little too early and now it's caught up with you hasn't it?" she asked turning Kaliegh on to her side as she cuddled her into her arms now patting her bottom to calm her down
"WaAahHHH aAahHh" the pacifier slipped out
"SssSsShhhhh, sSsSshhHhhh... sSsSsHhHhh" she cooed placing it back into her daughter's mouth as she once again started patted her bottom a little harder just as Kaliegh snuggled even closer to her chest. Brooke placed soft gentle kisses against her daughter's forehead as it calmed her down "I can't believe you're three months today princess" she smiled teary eyed as she gazed lovingly down at her daughter. "3 months; wow" she continued to tap as sleep soon took over her body as well.
"Did you have a nice nap baby girl?" cooed Brooke as she changed Kaliegh up in one of the guest bedrooms they happen to claim as their own "We're going to go down to the beach and play in the water. How does that sound?"
"Here you go babe" smiled Lucas as he handed her a small duffel bag filled with their clothes along with Kaliegh's baby bag
"Thanks handsome"
"Hi princess" he smiled smothering her with kisses as he joined them on the bed. Kaliegh's face immediately lit up
"You so are daddy's little girl" chuckle the brunette as she pulled out Kaliegh's swimsuit
"You ready to go play in the water princess huh?" he asked as he helped his wife change their daughter "We're going to have so much fun, aren't we-yeah" he cooed kissing her little fingers as Brooke started putting sun block on her. She couldn't help but laugh as her baby girl tried sucking on her hand "Uh, uh uh-that's yucky honey. Yucky" they chuckled as she pulled her hand away before her daughter got a taste.
"Here princess" said Lucas as he placed a binkie in her mouth as she sucked away
"Peek-a-Boo" exclaimed Jamie popping out from underneath his hands as Kaliegh couldn't stop giggling
"Do it again Jamie" laughed Lily as they stayed hovered over the little girl on the floor. They couldn't keep their hands or lips off the little girl as they smothered her with kisses
"Peek-a-Boo" Kaliegh giggled once again waving her little hands and feet in the air causing the two little tykes to join in the laughter
"Peek-a-Boo" they yelled in unison as Kaliegh laughed even harder
"Are they making you laugh baby girl? Is Jamie and Aunt Lily making you laugh; are they being silly?" she cooed resting her sketches on her lap as she turned on her laptop glancing back and forth between the two
"Aunt Brooke, Aunt Brooke watch-" exclaimed Jamie "Kalie… Kalie" he clapped getting her attention "Peek-a boooooo" he cooes as Kaliegh giggles causing them all to break out in fits of giggles.
"You guys are so silly" she cooed as she couldn't get enough of her baby girl's giggles. It was the cutest thing she's ever heard
"What's going on over there; are you having a party without me pretty girl" she chuckled as her husband popped up on her screen at their usual time
"When don't I" she smirked as he laughed
"I miss you baby"
"I miss you too handsome"
"So where's my princess"
"On the floor playing peek a boo-giggling away at your godson and sister" she replied placing the computer on the coffee table as she planted herself next to the kids on the floor.
"Hi guys" he smiled as their eyes lit up
"Hi uncle Lucas/Luwkie" they exclaimed excitedly in unison as Brooke picked up Kaliegh and stood her up on her thighs
"There's my princess" he cooed as Kaliegh smiled reaching for the computer screen once she realized it was him
"Who's that Kaliegh huh?" gasp the brunette "Who's that; is that daddy?" Kaliegh giggled causing her parents to laugh
"Hi baby girl. I miss you; god- you're getting so big"
"You're telling me broody" she chuckled bouncing her "Wait till she's in your arms"
"You ready to see daddy princess?" he asked as she reached for the computer screen "Are you; because I'm ready to see you and mommy. You all packed?"
"Lucas" she shrieked excitedly as tears welded up in her eyes.
"B-BROOKE; oh thank god! Thank you" he exclaimed pulling her into a long passionate kiss as he held on for dear life as tears streamed down his face "Baby, you're really here" he whispered against her ear as he placed kisses all over her face
"Baby what are you doing her?" she giggled "How did you know I was here? Did Hales-"
"Am I dreaming" he cut her off hugging her tighter "Did I have a heart attack, die and gone to heaven? Are you really here pretty girl" he murmured as she chuckled not understanding what he was rambling about
"What the?" gasp Jason in shock
"Not you too Jason" said Rachel confused as he glanced between the two
"Brooke? Here, how-what?" he muttered as the girl's looked a him strangely "I-I need a drink" he sighed as his knees wanted to buckle underneath him
"Okay first off, why is Lucas here and not at the game Jason; secondly why does it look like you two just saw a ghost or something huh? What the hell is going on here?"
"That's uh the million dollar question Rachel" he replied as Peyton shrugged
"Of course I'm really here" she giggled "Where else would I be?" she felt his tear drops on her skin as he kissed her face all over again "Baby what's wrong?" she asked alarmed and now frightened. "I mean I know you miss me like crazy and all; but you crying and being here unexpected is kinda eerie broody" he chuckled against her forehead "Lucas?" she felt her heart beat rapidly "What are you doing here? Why aren't you at the game?"
"WaAaAahHhhhhh aAahaahhAHh" wailed Kaliegh as her parents broke apart but Lucas didn't dare let go. It was like he was afraid they were going to slip from his fingers
"its okay princess" he smiled taking his daughter into his arms as Brooke stayed at his side "You're okay" he cooed "I've missed you too so much"
"Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Carrie Underwood-Justin Timberlake… really babe?" chuckled Lucas scanning his IPOD library as the brunette came downstairs after giving their daughter a bath
"What?" she shrugged "You did say I could add whatever I wanted so that's exactly what I did; besides I'll have you know that a little sexy back, womanizer and before he cheats totally gets me pumped during my morning run. How else would I have a body like this" she winked as he playfully rolled his eyes "Don't act like you don't like my music Broody" she smirked "I've caught you listening to Love Story from time to time"
"Oh you know about that huh?" he chuckled groaning as they broke out into laughter
"Uh huh and we think its' super cute that daddy likes Taylor Swift don't we baby girl?" she cooed smothering her daughter with kisses
"I like her songs babe, her songs" she did an eye roll "You're up late princess" said Lucas leaning over to kiss her as she rubbed her face against Brooke's getting fussy
"Awwwww looks like someone's tired" cooed Brooke as she cuddled her daughter to her chest rocking her
"And hungry" laughed the blonde as Kaliegh gnawed at her mother's chest whimpering
"Kaliegh, Mommy doesn't have milk there for you anymore honey" they chuckled
"I'll make her a bottle babe" Brooke nodded as she propped Kaliegh up against her shoulder rubbing gentle circles along her back
"WaAaAaHhHhH, aAaAahHhHh" she cried nuzzling her mother's face "WaAaAaaAhHhhHh, aAhaHAHhHhhH"
"I know, I know honey" she cooed standing up to bounce her "I know you're tired sweetie. We blame Uncle Nate don't we? Yeah we do"
"WaAaAhHhAahHH"
"Shhhh, shhhh... I know honey, I know" she murmured as Lucas handed her the bottle "It's bedtime for you missy. Say night, night daddy"
"WaAaAhHhHHhhH AaAhaHAhhhh" she wailed
"Good night princess" he murmured against her cheek as he kissed her before they disappeared up the stairs
45minutes later
"Nope no temp"
"WaAAaaAAAAahHhHhH… WaAaaAaHhHhh" she cried as Brooke gently rocked her "WaAaAAAahHhHhHH" she wailed nuzzling her face against her mother's neck
"What's wrong honey?" she murmured against Kaliegh's hair as she rubbed circles along the little girl's back "I know you're tired so why don't you let yourself sleep peanut?"
"She's still up babe?" he asked entering the nursery
"Yeah" sighed the brunette "She was asleep but as soon as I put her down she started crying again- so I had to pick her up"
"Awwwww what's wrong princess?" he cooed taking her from his wife as he gently rubbed her back "Are you not feeling well? You feel a little warm"
"I thought so too so I took her temp; came out normal. I think she's just cranky because she didn't get enough sleep this afternoon thanks to hotshot" Lucas chuckled knowing his wife wanted to kill his brother for waking up their daughter early from her routine nap "She also played hard too with Lils and Jimmijam, giggling away hysterically" she said as Kaliegh took a deep breath whimpering
"Awwww I bet you just wanna be held by daddy don't you princess?" she nuzzled her face against his before resting it in the crook of his neck
An hour later
"WaAaAaahhHhHh... aAahAHah... WaAaAaAAAAahHhHhH" she screamed as he paced around the room "WaaAaAaahHHhHHh ..."
"What's wrong princess?" he asked as they tried everything from rocking, bouncing, swinging, singing even reading to her but nothing made her happy "Maybe we should call Dr. Cordova" he suggested worried since she's never cried so much like this
"HmMmm…. Maybe she just wants to cuddle babe?" she replied as he handed her over as she got comfortable. Brooke then wrapped her up tightly in her blanket before tuckering her underneath her arm gently patting away at her bottom. Within 15minutes, Kaliegh was out like a light bulb snuggled, warm and loved- sandwiched in between her parents
"Mother like daughter" he smiled leaning in for a good night kiss "If she's this way because she wants to cuddle, I'm afraid to see what she'll be like with a cold babe" Brooke laughed softly not wanting to think about it as her eyes glance down to her peacefully sleeping daughter
"Is that good Kalie" smiled the blonde as he fed her dry cereal for breakfast "Yeah is that good princess?" he cooed wiping her mouth as she moved her arms and legs excitedly
"Looks like someone's a lot happier this morning huh peanut?" smiled the brunette as she brushed her lips against her daughter's cheek "MmMmM… is that good?" Kaliegh cooed sticking her fingers in her mouth as they chuckled
"We still on for lunch this afternoon babe?"
"We sure are, but it might be a late one broody. I have an appointment with a client today to go over her wedding dress details, but after that I'm all yours"
"HmMmMm… does that mean we can skip lunch and go straight to dessert?" he grinned wiggling his eyebrows as she chuckled playfully smacking him
"We'll see" she smirked leaning down to kiss them both "Don't forget I'm going out with the girl's tonight"
"How can I when that's all you've talked about the last couple of days" she chuckled
"It'll only be for a few hours babe, then I'll be home wrapped up in your arms naked picking up what we didn't get to finish this afternoon because Rachel will once again have impeccable timing" he grinned as her lips found his
"MmMMm… I like the thought of that already"
"I thought you would. Besides, if it'll make you feel any better, you and Kalie will be the only two things on my mind all night long"
"Yeah until the alcohol kicks in" she laughed rolling her eyes just as her phone rang
"Oh god I'm late, gotta go babe. See you later" she said kissing him and Kaliegh once more "Hey Millie" she answered running out the door
"Love you pretty girl" he yelled
"Love you too babe"
(End of Flashback)
"Oh god; no, no… no!" she shouted panicking "You can't take my husband and daughter away from me" she cried as she tried to un-buckle herself to jump out the passenger side door before a local business display window came into view. "I finally have a real family and wonderful amazing friends! I finally belong and you want to take that away from me?! NO! You can't! I need them just as they need me! Please god, please help me" she begged. "What did I do wrong? Don't take them away from me please!" But before she got the chance, they were once again plowed into causing her to hit her head against her door window from the rough force.
"Now this is payback" he beamed as he watched the Mrs. Davis-Scott scream on the verge of unconscious as blood ran down the side of her face from the impact "What Dan" he yelled to himself as he pushed into the escalade once again "You choose to pass out now you bastard?! I want you to enjoy this; so wake up asshole! WAKE UP!" he barked reversing and plowing right back into the newly joined two cars. "I'll show you for not paying me. Open your eyes you son of a bitch. The right Mrs. Davis is right there. You're sicker than I thought; wanting me to steal from your own daughter in law. Do you see her because I do?!" he laughed evilly pointing to the other car like a mad man "You're both not looking to good from here. Should I just put you two out of your misery?"he chuckled "Nah, this is far too much fun. Here we go again"
"WHOA, WHOA! ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY YOU SICK SON OF A BITCH! YOU'RE GOING TO KILL THEM!" he heard a few men ranting and raving hitting up the side of his truck as it pulled him back into reality
"DAMN IT" he sneered not happy as he rubbed his engine "I WAS JUST STARTING TO ENJOY MYSELF" he smirked as he immediately put his car in reverse "OH WELL THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT TIME" he laughed speeding out of there as others dodged out of his way before they turned into road kill
"DID ANYONE GET HIS LICENSE'S PLATE NUMBERS?"
"He took them off" another shouted in response as others cursed
"BROOKE!!" shouted Millie as she could no longer see the brunette. The black escalade was so smashed up against the BMW that it pretty much molded itself to it like a second skin which made it really difficult to get to her.
"We need to get him out first so we can reach the woman in the BMW" shouted a man who took charge
"How do we do that if both their doors are pretty much wedged together" another asked
"PLEASE DO SOMETHING, YOU HAVE TO HELP HER! PLEASE" begged a crying Millie as she darted towards the joined cars
"Whoa, whoa miss" said the brunette man as he caught her arm "We shouldn't move them just yet. We don't know the extent of their injuries. The paramedics should be here soon"
"But we can't just leave her in there" she cried
"Do you guys smell that?" they all sniffed around inhaling the air as they looked around for any sparks or anything that can catch on fire
"T-That s-smells l-like G-GAS" shrieked Millie as her hands covered her mouth
"We need to get them out of there now"
"Alright we got to do this fast" another yelled
"The paramedics and police are on their way" said a woman with her phone glued to her ear
8 minutes later
"Is he breathing?" Millie heard one of the men ask as they finally pulled the driver of the black escalade out.
"Yes, I have a pulse but he's clutching his chest. Oh god I think he's having a heart attack! Oh god, hold on MR!" the man yelled as Millie braced herself to look over towards them to see if there was anything she could do while for them to get to Brooke "Sir, the paramedics are on the way"
"D-DAN?" she gasp shaking even harder once she recognized the older blood cover Scott
...
"MmMm… Chris Keller just died and went to heaven" he grinned holding his hands against his chest as Peyton and Rachel rolled their eyes
"Can I help you?" sneer the blonde not the least bit in the mood for his arrogance
"Depends if you're Peyton Sawyer or not" he smirked
"Look can you just get to the point?" hissed the red head "Cuz we're actually in the middle of something and-"
"Ooh feisty red head and curly blonde fighting is majorly hot; can I watch?" he wiggled his eyebrows taking a seat. If looks could kill, he'd be a dead man
"Un-freaking believable" snapped Rachel
"You have 30 seconds to tell me why you're here before I literally throw you out perv-so start talking" he chuckled crossing his arms at his chest amused 20-" barked Peyton glaring at him "10-"
"Okay, okay" he smirked holding up his hands in defense "Julian Baker sent the Keller here thinking I can help your friends"
"Excuse me" spat the blonde not the slightest pleased
"He said something about Haley James and Jake whatever his last name is- having potential" Peyton's ears perked up
"Who the hell does Julian Baker think he is huh? The guy's not even in the music industry? Tell him keep his nose in his own business and stick to producing movies"
"Rach" sighed the curly blonde "He's just trying to help out our friends" the red head scoffed
"Blondie's right; music is a major part of the movie production slash industry tuts. Chris Keller would know" they rolled their eyes as he made himself more comfortable "I checked out his credentials and it's pretty impressive"
"Do you always talk in third person; cuz that's really annoying not to mention frustrating" he chuckled at the red head
"I bet you're a spit-fire in bed; care to take a few tumbles with the Keller. I promise you won't be disappointed" he winked as she started gagging
"I-I'm s-sorry" she said as a hand covered her mouth and the other covered her tummy "I just literally threw up in my mouth" Chris rolled his eyes as Peyton laughed hysterically
"So, when can I meet the duo?" he asked as he and Peyton locked eyes
"Depends"
"On?"
"If I believe you or not" he chuckled "For all I know you could be some con artist"
"Ammatures" Peyton glowered at him
"I don't even know you not to mention, I've never even seen or heard your work"
"Have you ever heard of the Wreckers?"
"Of course, who hasn't?" she replied crossing her arms at her chest as she leaned against her desk
"Well blondie, you're looking at their opening act. I talked them into maybe letting me bring one or the other on road with us"
"You're lying"
"Baby, Chris Keller does not lie" he replied whipping out proof they needed "So, once again when do we get started?" he asked satisfied from their expressions
"What's the catch?"
"There's no catch" he replied extending his legs out on her desk as she pushed him off disgusted
"There's always a catch" said Rachel "Haven't you heard the saying... I scratch your back, you scratch mine"
"You can scratch mine anytime gorgeous, but mMm… I'd love to do more to yours; get my drift?" he grinned
"Ugh I think I'm going to be sick" she groaned
"Cut the bull Keller, why are you really here?"
"Fine" both women kinked their eyebrows not surprised he has some sort of agenda "I need a place to do some recording and since you just opened up this joint, I figured it's a win win situation. You help me, I help your friends. Hell I'll even throw in a duet for each"
"Oh god, can you be anymore full of yourself?" he winked at Rachel who gave him an irritated eye roll in return
"Well, well well-if it isn't Lucas Scott" he chuckled glancing down at a photo on Peyton's desk of a group of people "You guys are friends with the infamous Scott? What a small world. Who's that sexy brunette next to him?"
"Off limits/his wife" they replied in unison as Chris smirked
"You don't say? I'd love to take a few tumbles with her" he mumbled unable to take his eyes off the couple "What do you say we make it a group thing"
"If you want to keep your prized jewels perv- I advise you to stop talking" Chris chuckled
"I can't believe Linds finally let him go" he mumbled to himself flabbergasted
"What was that?" asked Peyton snatching the photo from the blonde carefully setting it back on her desk as Rachel's mind got the best of her
"Lindsey we haven't been together for 2 ½ years; yeah we've dated off and on but we were never serious. Why don't you ask Chris Keller, he'll refresh your memory. He sure gave me an earful last night in front of your building" he lashed out as everyone's mouth dropped open in shock
"Luke you said you didn't mind that we saw other people" she replied
"No Linds, you came up with that all on your own when you knew how I felt about that" he replied upset
"I said, so when do we get started?" he replied clearing his throat
"Oh god, you're the Chris Keller that whore Lindsey cheated on Lucas with?" Peyton kinked her eyebrows as she glanced between the two
"Sorry I'm late" yelled Mandi running in out of breath "I wasn't expecting it to take this long but there was a big accident and it sent us all on a detour. Oh I'm sorry I didn't know you were with a client; if I had known-"
"Its' okay" said Peyton cutting her off "We're actually finished here. If you could just get Mr. Keller's info for me on his way out would be great. I've got to run" Mandi nodded "We'll be in touch Chris" He stood up and pulled his shades over his eyes
"Well that was interesting" said Rachel as Peyton chuckled
…
"Stop it Jagelski!" he scolded himself as he knocked on the door once again "It's not Brooke. Her windows aren't even tinted for crying out loud. It's someone else; it has to be. They would have called you if it was her" he took a deep breath as his mind got the best of him
"Just perfect" groaned Jake irritated as it was bumper to bumper. He was still too far from the site to even see anything. He rolled down his window as he waited for the traffic to flow
"Why the stop; what's going on?" he heard the car in front of him ask as he turned down his music tuning into the conversation
"Car accident" he caught bits and pieces of the conversation "Crazy SOB pushed the black escalade numerous times into the smaller BMW fitting it like a second skin" the guy whistled as he listened on
"Any fatalities?" his ears perked up as the guy shook his head shrugging
"I don't know but from what I heard, they were saying that it's a miracle the woman driving the silver beamer is still alive"
"Any word on identifications?"
"No, heard it was too hard to see either of them through their tinted windows. I don't see why they don't band tinting-"
"Bout time you showed up" laughed the blonde as it pulled the brunette back into reality
"Dude, you wouldn't believe what I went through just to get across town" he replied grabbing a water bottle from the fridge "It was like a wild goose chase to get away from other traffic"
"Uh huh- is that code for I just got done messing around with the boss in the studio" Jake rolled his eyes as he picked up Kaliegh's small soft round ball and chucked it at the brunette
"Niceeee" laughed Lucas as Nathan retaliated by pitching it at his brother's head
"Hi baby girl" smiled Jake eagerly taking a happy Kaliegh from the younger Scott "How are you princess huh" he asked smothering her with kisses as she giggled grabbing on to his face "I've missed you. Where's your mommy today?" he asked looking around for the perky brunette
"Oh she went into work. Had a client she had to meet to go over wedding dress details" Jake gulped
"Uh, what car did she take t-today?"
"Her beamer why?" he asked confused
"Please tell me her windows aren't tinted"
"What's going on Jake?" asked Nathan just as puzzled at the brunette's odd behaviour
"Luke-"
"Wait, how did you know? I actually just got it done yesterday. Did you see the tints? They look good don't they?" Jake felt as if someone sucker punched him in the stomach "We decided it would help keep the sun out of Kaliegh's eyes if we-"
"CALL BROOKE NOW"
"What?"
"Nate call C/B and get Millie on the phone"
"Jake-" they said in unison "What's-"
"JUST DO IT" he snapped as the two Scott brother's locked eyes bewildered as they pulled out their phones "Please be wrong, please be wrong" he begged whispering to himself as Kaliegh sucked away on her fingers
"What the heck is going on with you Jake?" asked Lucas as Kaliegh started whimpering "She probably just needs to be changed" he said reaching for her as Jake moved out of his reach. "Uh, Jake?"
"Oh god, please don't tell me you're going all psycho Bevin on us too" he said as he covered his receiver
"NATE!" scolded the blue eyed blonde
"What? Too soon?!" he asked shrugging as the two guys rolled their eyes
"Trust me Luke; it's better if I hold Kaliegh until Brooke picks up"
"Dude, have you gone mad cuz you're freaking us out here"
"Please pick up Brooke" begged the brunette as he rocked Kaliegh pacing back and forth
"Hi, you've reached Brooke Davis Scott- Voicemail" said Lucas as Jake closed his eyes
"Hey Tiffany its' Nathan Scott" the guys turned towards him
"Hey Nathan how are you"
"Good, good. Look you sound busy so I won't keep you long. I was wondering if I can please talk to Brooke or Millie, it's urgent. I just called both their cell phones but it went straight to voicemail" he said putting the phone on speaker as Jake put Kaliegh down in her play pen
"Oh I'm sorry but neither of them are here"
"Wait, but I thought Brooke had a meeting with a client this morning?"
"She did but she never showed up. We had to reschedule the meeting and the client wasn't too happy especially since the appointment was confirmed not to mention she drove a ways to be here on time. We've called Brooke a few times and even tried Millie but no one's called us back"
"That's not like Brooke to not show up or call" murmured Lucas as the guys looked from one to the other
"Where's Millie? Did she go into work today?"
"Yeah she did. She was here, but she actually ran out of the store 20mins ago after talking to Brooke" Nathan felt his heart stop "Sarah says she took off running in a panic didn't even check out with us which is so not like her" The Scott brothers turned to their friend as they held their breath afraid of what's about to come out of the brunette's mouth
"What's going on Jake? I want the truth" said Lucas noticing how his long time friend went pale
"R-Reminder how I told you that it took me forever to get across town" they nodded "Well while I was stopped in traffic, I heard that it was because of a car wreck" the Scott brother's hearts dropped "A p-pick u-up t-truck pushed a b-black e-escalade into a- Oh god" he threw his head into his hands as it all hit him at once
"A what J-Jake" asked Lucas grabbing onto the center island to hold himself up once he found his voice
Silence
"JAKE!" shouted Nathan as panic rose
"S-Silver tinted B-BMW"
"WHAT?!" gasp Lucas "It can't be; you're wrong" he shouted shaking "Anyone can be driving a silver tinted BMW"
"Other than Brooke's have you ever seen one around town?" he asked
Silence
"She didn't pick up her phone Luke" they locked eyes "You heard Tiffany; she never made it to her appointment and that's so not like Brooke to check in with her employees"
"Maybe she stopped in to see Peyton and Rachel"
"Luke"
"No it can't be. My wife's at-" he stuttered as panic hit him like a brick wall "Oh god what if it was Brooke? No, it's not! I-I have to go! I have to see with my own two eyes that it's not my wife and that she just got side tracked while preparing with Millie" he rambled trying his wife's cell once again "Oh god please be okay pretty girl" he begged frantically grabbing for his wallet and keys
"Where did it happen?" asked Nathan as Jake gave them the location
"Lets' go, I'm driving bro; you're in no condition to" Lucas nodded
"Can you watch Kalie Jake"
"Yeah man, just go! I pray I'm wrong! Keep me posted" then they were gone
…
"You know him?"
Silence
"Pills" Dan wheezed struggling for breath "Car" he hissed squeezing his chest as he rolled over in pain "P-Please"
"Pills?" asked the man confused looking from Dan to Millie than back to Dan "Do you know what pills he's talking about Ms?"
Silence
"HEY MS" yelled the man snapping Millie out of it "Do you know what pills he's talking about?"
"N-NO" she replied once she found her voice taking a step back from the two
"Can you search the car?"
"I-I need to get to B-BROOKE-" she said glancing back towards the others "I-I need to make sure she's okay. She's my number one priority"
"And keeping him alive until the paramedics come is mine. They're doing their best to get your friend out. I need you to please look for his pills. I don't know how much longer he can hold on till help arrives. Please, the pills maybe the only thing that can save him right now" she sighed contemplating if she should help the older Scott. "Please" she nodded as she ran towards the car. She searched it up and down picking up and throwing things around doing her best not to cut herself with the broken glass.
"Where the hell is it" she hissed frustrated "Come on, come on" she exclaimed leaning down and using her fingers to feel around. Just then she felt something small and circular stuck in the corner as she reached under the seat "Bingo" she exclaimed as she grasped it tightly in her hand. She then used her left arm to push herself up from the floor balancing her right arm against what she thought was the back seat, but then her elbow slipped as she tried to put all her weight against it. It sent her falling as something smacked her hard in the back of her head."OW" she cursed under her breath as she was about to chuck it but stopped once she realized what it was. "What the-" her mouth dropped open as anger took over. Her mind then got the best of her
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH" she screamed as she was sent flying backwards
"WHERE ARE THE SKETCHES" she heard as two big hands grasped her neck "GIVE THEM TO ME AND I WON'T HURT YOU"
"I-I-D-DON'T-H-HAVE-T-THEM; T-THEY'RE-N-NOT-H-HERE. M-MY-B-BOSS-T-TOOK-T-THEM-W-WITH-H-HER" she cried gasping for air
"YOU'RE LYING!! I'M WARNING YOU; DON'T MESS WITH ME! WHERE ARE THEY?!" he shouted squeezing her throat tighter
"I-I-S-S-WEAR" she cried as he lost it and just punched her in the face just as everything went black
"Any luck on the pills?" the guy asked as the paramedics finally arrived. She then glanced down tightening the item in her hand as her knuckles turned white. "S-She hired someone to hurt me and steal my sketches; god what kind of monster does that?"cried Brooke as they glanced around the broken into store
"Ma'am?"
"I'm sorry I tried my best; but it's too hard to maneuver from the state the car's in" she replied
"WE'RE LOSING HIM! WE NEED TO MOVE STAT!" yelled the paramedic as they rushed Dan to the awaiting ambulance. Once inside they got to work
"H-How is she?" asked Millie as she finally got to the brunette after what felt like eternity
"We need to get her to the hospital ma'am; you family?"
"Oh god Nate! The car's beyond total; how can anyone survive-" Just then they heard a familiar voice as they felt their hearts stop "Oh, god- NO, NO… NO" he yelled running towards them
"BROOKE/MILLIE" shouted the Scott brother's as they pushed through a crowd of people.
"Luke, Nate; thank god" she cried shaking like a leaf
"I'm sorry but I can't let you through" said one of the police officer's
"That's my wife and our friend over there" he replied "I need to see if she's okay. I have to get to her!" he shouted as Nathan tried to calm him down. After a few minutes he nodded as he let them through
"Oh god baby" cried Lucas as they reached Brooke's gurney "How is she?"
"Like I told the lady, I need to get her to the hospital. Who's riding with us?" he asked
"I will; I'm her husband" the paramedic nodded as he helped Lucas settle in
"We'll meet you there" he nodded as they took off. "Millie you okay?" asked Nathan as he noticed how quiet she was during the car ride
"D-Dan was in the other car; the b-black escalade was his" she replied as Nathan's mouth dropped open "T-They t-think he had a h-heart a-attack and that was what pulled him out of his unconscious state" she rambled as he glanced between her and the road listening on "I-I heard B-Brooke s-screaming and I-I t-took off r-running to her. I-I couldn't get c-close enough. I-It happened all s-so f-fast" she cried as she gasp for air
"Ssssshhh, she's okay now Mills. They're taking her to the hospital; they'll do whatever they can"
"W-What if"
"No, there's no what if's Millie. Brooke will be fine; you'll see. She's strong, one hell of a fighter just like you" he replied comforting her as they finally made it to the hospital
5 ½ hours later after all the tests you can think of was done to satisfy Lucas & the Scott family, Brooke was diagnosis with a Grade 3 concussion, dislocated left shoulder, a few cuts and scrapes, whiplash and tons of bruising from the impact; but nothing …TLC, plenty of rest and a chiropractor can't fix.
"She woke up disoriented during one of the scans but will be fine" said the doctor as everyone let out a breath they were holding "She's going to have a slight headache for the next few days, but I'll prescribe something for her to ease the pain; not to mention she'll be sore from head to toe. I advise she take it easy and see a chiropractor for her dislocated shoulder and whiplash. I'm going to keep her here for the night and run a few more tests in the morning, so if all goes well she'll be released sometime tomorrow afternoon. I already talked to the police officer about not questioning her until I clear her from all her tests. She's a lucky woman to have survived that"
"Thank you Doctor" replied Karen wrapping her arms around her son
"Can we see her?" he asked more than ready to see his wife
"Yes" he nodded as they thanked him.
"Doctor Ridgeway?" spoke up Mai "Any news on Dan Scott, the driver of the black escalade?"
"I'm sorry but I can only discuss that with his family"
"We're his parents" she replied as Royal came up beside her "How is our son doing? We heard he had a heart attack?" she cried as her husband put his arm around her. "Why don't we take a walk?" They nodded as they walked off "We'll be back in a bit"
…
"MmMm" smiled the brunette as she felt soft lips brush against hers in a sweet gentle kiss "I can never get tired of that" he chuckled as he kissed her once more
"I was so worried pretty girl. God I feel like I need to lock you up and throw away the key so you can never leave my sight!" she playfully rolled her eyes as he leaned down and kissed her once again before caressing her cheek
"I-I was so scared Luke" she said squeezing his hand "I thought I'd never get to see you and Kalie again. I thought I was being punished for being so happy" she sobbed as tears streamed down her cheeks
"Hey, hey-shhh shhhh look at me baby" he said cupping her cheeks as they locked eyes "You're safe now, okay. You're here with me with us where you belong! Kaliegh and I need you baby girl. Please don't scare me again" she nodded as he kissed her forehead "If I ever, ever find that SOB"
"Luke"
"I'm sorry" he replied as tears welded up in his "You're safe, in my arms and that's all that matters" he replied "Thank you for fighting; thank you for coming back to us" he kissed her as tears streamed down their cheeks
"I love you"
"I love you too pretty girl; god so much. I-I can't lose you"
"I can't either Luke" she sobbed as he kissed her tears away
"How are you feeling?"
"Like I was hit by a truck"
"Do you need more meds; should I get the doctor?"
"No, no I'm fine right now. I just need you to hold me" he smiled as he carefully got into bed with her "Where's Kaliegh?"
"With Rach" he replied "She also has Jamie and Lily too"
"What? Just the four of them?" he nodded laughing as she couldn't help chuckle "SsSSs ow"
"Baby" he panicked
"I'm fine. Just forgot I've got bruised ribs" she said pulling his arm across her stomach as he kissed her head "Poor Rach; they're going to drive her crazy Luke! She'll literally pull her hair out"
"I know that's why Coop went home to check on her" Just then there was a knock on the door
"Brooke" cried Millie as she reached her boss's side "I'm so glad you're okay, I've been so worried" she cried "I-I heard you scream; I dropped everything as I took off running to you. I-I couldn't reach you because of the impact and that truck kept-"
"I know honey, I know" she replied as tears streamed down their cheeks "I'm fine now" she said grateful "Thank you for coming after me"
"I'm just so glad you're okay; and Luke I'm sorry I didn't call you right away. It just happened all at once and-"
"I know Mills" he smiled running his hand through Brooke's hair "She's here safe with us"
"Did you recognize him; the truck driver?" Millie shook her head "By the time I got close enough, he sped out of there"
"Did you?"
"No. He came out of nowhere; took me by surprise. All I remember was heading to the store for that appointment and next thing I know, this black escalade came plowing against me. Any word on the person driving that car?" she asked snuggling against her husband. Lucas and Millie locked eyes
"It was D-Dan Brooke" she replied as the brunette's mouth dropped open
"I-Is he okay?"
"Last I heard he was having a heart attack"
"W-What?"
"The grandparents are with him" Brooke nodded. The next couple of hours went by fast as the rest of the group checked in with the brunette and told them they'll see her at home
…
Week and half later
"God why is that I'm always so exhausted after they stop by" groaned Brooke fixing her arm sling
"Maybe it's because of the fact that they ask the same questions over and over to the point where they sound like a broken record" he replied holding a babbling Kaliegh as they joined her on the couch
"Hi honey" she cooed as they locked eyes "Did you have a nice nap?" she asked leaning in to smother her daughter with kisses. Kaliegh giggled as she reached out to the brunette wanting to be held as it broke her heart to not be able to snuggle with her little girl "I can't hold you right now peanut; mommy's arm still hurts and meanie daddy won't let me" Kaliegh whimpered as tears welded up in her eyes
"You'd think she understood you" laughed Lucas as he tried to calm his daughter down
"WaAaAahHhHhHHh" she wailed "WaAaAahHhHhHhhH"
"Awwwwwwwww" pouted Brooke wiping away her daughter's tears as Lucas stood her up on her feet against his lap facing his wife "I know, I know mommy's sorry honey" Kaliegh leaned in as she nuzzled her mother's face with hers wanting to get closer "You're really breaking my heart baby girl" she replied against Kaliegh's hair just as tears welded up in her own eyes "Babe I want to hold her"
"Pretty girl you heard what the doctor said"
"I know but look at her Luke" their eyes locked on Kaliegh who tried to burrow closer to the brunette
"Babe-"
"I know" she sighed "I'll take it easy, promise"
"Brooke"
"But honey, it's been a week and half since I've held my baby in my arms and it's literally killing me. She needs me just as much as I need her Luke" he knew how much mother and daughter needed each other's touch
"Alright, but once you feel any pain"
"You'll take her" he nodded as she got comfy on the floor. She leaned against the couch, bringing up her knees as Lucas laid Kaliegh against her thighs. "Hi, baby girl-is this better? Yeah?" she cooed smiling as she leaned in to kiss her daughter "Hi" she gasp as Kaliegh smiled "Your such a happy baby aren't you peanut" Kaliegh cooed babbling away with her baby talk as her parents laughed. "Where's daddy Kalie, huh-where's daddy?" she asked as he sat directly in front of them holding Kaliegh up from behind. He made a clucking sound with his tongue as Kaliegh turned towards him
"Ah peeka boo" he cooed as Kaliegh's face lit up excitedly causing her to laugh "Ah peeka boo"
"Is that daddy?" she asked as her little girl kept trying to turn her body around to play a round of peeka boo with her father. After about 15minutes Lucas placed Kaliegh on her blankie as Brooke handed her-her toys which immediately went into her mouth
"Do you think they'll ever find him?"
"In time baby, they will. It's just hard to believe that Dan didn't know or recognize him" he replied handing her a cup of hot chocolate "For all we know, the guy could have been his enemy; you know business deal gone wrong or something. It just doesn't make any sense why he went all crazy on you guys that day; and what are the odds that you and Dan were there at the same time, same place?"
"I know I've been racking my brain with the same questions Luke. Something just doesn't add up. I mean I can remember that day clearly. The guy was yelling, ranting, raving, laughing and totally enjoying himself each time he reversed and plowed right back into the escalade pushing it into me. It was like he knew exactly who we were" Goosebumps immediately appeared from head to toe on her body as Lucas pulled her into his arms. "They'll find him baby. You gave them the best description you can" she sighed just as Kaliegh started getting fussy.
"Awwwwww" they chuckled as they watched their baby girl get frustrated as she couldn't roll back over "Are you stuck princess, huh are you?" he smiled picking her up as he threw her up into the air as she broke out into fits of giggles
"Is that fun?" cooed Brooke as they all laughed
"Where's mommy, princess huh? Where's mommy? There's mommy" he chuckled as he held her in front of his wife "Kiss mommy kiss?" Brooke leaned in half way as she placed open mouth kisses all over her daughter's face. "Ahhhh" she laughed as Kaliegh cupped her cheeks with her tiny little hands and used her nose as a binkie.
A week later
…
"So, how's the shoulder coming along?" asked Rachel as she smothered her god daughter with hugs and kisses
"Annoying slow" she sighed
"Oh come on, what do you expect? It's only been 3 ½ weeks" the brunette rolled her eyes frustrated
"3 ½ loooooooong dreadful weeks of not getting to hold, bathe, and snuggle with my daughter" she replied as Kaliegh grasped on to her finger "And let me tell you how frustrating that is"
"I know, but hey at least you not wearing your arm sling anymore; that's a very good sign"
"Yeah I guess. Dr. Deering wants me to do shoulder exercises ever 15minutes. He thinks I can do without the sling now"
"Just give it a few more weeks and you'll be all new again"
"Yeah, yeah. So the press still wanting Q&A's about what happened?
"Yeah, but I've handled it" Brooke was grateful for the red head.
"How's business?"
"Good" she replied "But I think I jinxed us" Brooke kinked her eyebrow laughing
"Jinxed us in how?"
"Well for starters by joking around with blondie about her actually getting a receptionist who wants to work. I swear that Mandi girl never shows up on time. Oh my god" she gasp as Kaliegh jumped. She looked up at her god mother as a pout formed at her lips
"Awwwww sweetie Aunt Rachel didn't mean to scare you" she cooed as she rubbed her daughter's arms
"Yeah I'm sorry ladybug" piped in the red head "Aunt Rachie is sorry" Kaliegh snuggled up against her god mother as she sucked away on her binkie "I forgot to tell you all about Chris Keller! Okay rewind back to the jinxing part" Brooke laughed as Kaliegh glanced from one to the other causing them both to chuckle "Newho she spats back saying not everyone is like Millie and that she totally spoils us rotten and I replied by saying it's not our fault Millie enjoys her job and blah blah blah… but have you noticed that Millie's been acting different ever since-"
"I know, I have" she replied as she thought about how she barely heard from or saw the brunette anymore unless it's work related
"See I totally jinxed us. Millie's so going to quit on us now! Who knew working for you is so-"
"Rachel, that's absurd. It was a really really traumatizing ordeal for her too you know. I mean can you imagine the last thing she heard was my loud shrilling scream? She didn't know what was going on-then she takes off running knowing where I was at that moment to only find me bloody, unconscious and Dan's car totally molded into mine? Not to mention on top of that Dan had a heart attack in front of her? God I don't know how she's functioning right now. She probably just needs some time. She'll come around"
"And if she doesn't"
"I'll talk to her" Rachel nodded "So no, you didn't jinx Millie Rach; but tell me about the Chris Keller encounter" the red head filled her best friend in
"Wow, someone's sure full of himself. Does he really talk in third person?" she asked as they broke out into laughter
"Like you wouldn't believe" she shook her head still laughing "I don't know what the hell that whore was thinking. I mean he's decent looking but Luke's gorgeous compared to him! She's nuts!" Brooke chuckled as Kaliegh sighed
"Life's just so tough for you isn't it ladybug huh?" they chortle as Kaliegh smiled "Hi" she cooed tickling her
"Is PSawyer going to take him up on his offer?"
"I don't know. She still has to talk to Hales and Jake first" Brooke nodded "How do you think Luke will feel once he finds out he's back in town?"
"Find out whose back in town?" asked the blue eyed blonde as he came in carrying groceries. Just then his cell phone went off. "Hold that thought- hey Nate"
"Phew" they exhale "That's so on Peyton to break the news to him. I'm staying out of it"
"Hey, did you guys get your costumes yet?"
"I don't know, let me ask Brooke" he replied glancing over towards his wife who was so engrossed with their daughter "Hey babe" she looked up as they locked eyes "Did our costumes come yet?"
"Yeah it did right after you left- but I was waiting for you so we can open it together" she replied excitedly making her way towards him
"What yours came already?" Brooke nodded as she motioned towards the big brown box by the front door "That was fast; we ordered them when-Monday?"
"Wednesday"
"I wonder if mine came" she said grabbing for her phone as Kaliegh grabbed for it while it was against her ear "Ladybug" she laughed switching it to her other ear
"I can't wait till you see your costume handsome!"
"Oh boy, did we make the right decision to let the ladies choose this year Nate?" he laughed as she playfully smacked him
"Yes! You'll love it I promise!" she kissed his cheek before grabbing a carrot and plopping it into her mouth
"Do I even wanna know what Hales chose for you two?"
"Well" replied Nathan as he held up his "It'll be more conservative than yours and Coops for sure"
"That's not really reassuring little brother" Nathan laughed
"Hey at least we know our wife's won't choose something all gothic and depressing" Lucas chuckled
"That sucks for Jake" Brooke's ears perked up
"Put him on speaker broody" he obliged "Hi hotshot"
"Hi Davis" laughed the brunette
"Tell me you so love your costume"
"Oh yes, I can't wait to wear it" he replied sarcastically as she rolled her eyes
"I for one loved it; you're so lucky we talked her out of the whole Fred and Wilma Flintstones theme"
"Oh thank god!" he exclaimed as Lucas chuckled leaning over to kiss her
"I'll have you two know that Jake's in for a surprise this year. I think PSawyer really put a lot of thought in theirs"
"Yeah I'll believe it when I see it B" Brooke rolled her eyes
"Yeah yeah" she chuckled "Luke will call you later. Right now he's going to open ours"
"Good luck bro"
"Ours just arrived. I'm gonna go model mine for hot Uncle Coop"
"Ugh, TMI.., TMI Rach!" groaned Lucas as both women laugh "Muah, bye ladybug"
…
A week later
"Coming, coming" yelled Brooke as she rushed to the door
"Trick a treat" she laughed as it revealed the Naley clan
"Well, well well… look at you JLuke" she smiled "You by far are the cutest Spiderman I've ever seen handsome"
"Thanks Aunt Brooke" he smiled hugging her as he went through her candy stash "Where's Uncle Luke and Kaliegh"
"Upstairs" he took off running with Nathan following close behind
"Walk please" scolded Haley shaking her head "So what's the plan for tonight Tigger?"
"As far as I know, everyone's still planning on meeting up at Rach and Coops around 930ish for pre-drinks. JLuke is still staying the night with Lils and Kaliegh right?"
"Yes he is" she replied "Deb's managing TRIC tonight since Karen's keeping the kids" Just then there was a knock at the door
"Well hello princess Cinderella" smiled Brooke as she and Haley admire her costume
"Don't you look beautiful tonight Lily" added Haley as both women greeted Karen and Keith
"Where's Kaliegh and JLuke?"
"Upstairs" replied Haley as the other four made their way down
"Awwwww look at you honey" cooed Karen and Haley in unison as they gushed over the little girl
"Her costume is so adorable"
"You are the prettiest little baby flower I've ever seen" she cooed taking her granddaughter from her son "Omgosh, look at the little bee on her pink flower pedal" she exclaimed as everyone fussed over it
"Hi sweetie" smiled Keith as he smothered her with kisses just as she reached for his face "You are certainly the cutest baby girl I've ever seen" she giggled as he blew raspberries against her neck "Yes, yes you are"
"God I love it! Where did you guys find it?" asked Karen still marveling over the costume
"Ask Brooke" chuckled the blue eyed blonde as he leaned over and brush his lips against her cheek "I told her we should just wait a few more years since Kaliegh won't even remember any of this but"
"I told him it's her first Halloween so we have to dress her up" they laughed
"She's right you know" he rolled his eyes as Brooke playfully smacked him
"Can we go now?" asked the kids in unison as Kaliegh started fussing
"Yeah lets go before it gets any colder"
2 hours later
"Wow look at all the candy we got momma" exclaimed Jamie excitedly as he and Lily held out their bags running for the next house
"Thank god Halloween is only one time a year" the group chuckled
"WaAahHhHh"
"Awwww are you tired honey?" asked Lucas wrapping his daughter up tighter in her blanket as she rubbed her face against his
"WaAahHh aAahhHh" she whimpered as they waited for Jamie and Lily to return from getting their candy
"What's wrong peanut?" asked Brooke nuzzling closer towards her husband and daughter as she rested her chin on his shoulder "Are you ready for night night?" she cooed as she and Kaliegh were eye to eye just mere inches apart
"I think she's exhausted" laughed Nathan as he caressed her cheek
"WaAaHhH aAaAhHhh" she cried yawning "WaAaHhHh"
"Awwww yeah?" nodded Brooke as Kaliegh snuggled closer in her father's arms reaching out to touch her mother's face for comfort "You want to go home and cuddle with mommy and daddy don't you peanut?" she asked kissing her daughter's tiny chubby hand as Lucas smiled rubbing circles along her back "You ready for night night; yeah? Okay well see if Jamie and Aunt Lily are ready to go" she leaned in and kissed her daughter as Kaliegh rested her forehead against hers
"Awwwww" smiled Haley at the intimate family bonding
"It's been really heard on her these past weeks that Brooke can't hold her" explained Lucas as he continued to rub her back "She does this thing now where if I'm holding her like this, Brooke will lean in and rest her chin on my shoulder and Kaliegh will burrow closer and leave her hand on Brooke's neck"
"Awwww that's sooooo cute" said Haley as they watch Kaliegh drift off to sleep
"I don't think the kids are ready to go home yet so we'll see you guys at the house"
"We'll be home soon; probably just a few more houses"
"Okay, sounds good" he replied
"Are we picking you guys up when we drop Jamie off or do you want us to swing by your place?"
"Will you swing by our place?"
"Yeah no problem; see you guys in a little bit"
Two hours later
"Babe you have less than an hour" he said heading for the stairs
"Okay" she replied as the knocking got louder
"I'm coming, I'm coming" he yelled running down the stairs as there was a knock at the door
"Lucas Scott?"
"Uh, yeah" he replied confused
"This is for you sir" said the teenager who appears to be no more than16 years old dressed in a mail carrier's outfit
"Is this some kind of joke kid?" he shook his head
"Hey I was given 50 bucks tonight to deliver that to you personally" then he was gone
"Okay that was weird" he said shaking his head as he closed the door behind him. He turned the envelope over as it was addressed to him "Huh" He carefully tore it open as he pulled out the piece of paper.
"DAMN IT" he exclaimed once he finished reading the letter as he glanced towards the stairs knowing his wife was up there and that's where he needed to be

For all your Comments and Reviews!!
You guys are seriously AWESOME!! Thank you for bringing a smile to my face!! :0)
To My Anonymous Reviewers:
Bella: Sorry for the cliff hanger! Lol gotta keep you guys on your toes! Hehe! I really hope you enjoyed this update and I'm happy to hear you love the Brachel friendship because I honestly I do too! I love how Rachel always has Brooke's back! Their friendship is one of a kind! As for the crazy guy, now you know who he is! Blame stupid Dan!! Lol! Lemme know what you think of this update!!
Kaliegh: You know love… I totally agree with you about the whole us being twins separated at birth thing … lol! I love how I'm thinking one thing and the next it's coming out of your mouth! Haha! I'm really glad that we think alike and agree on mostly everything when it comes to BRUCAS, CHOPHIA, OTH, and etc! It's nice to know there's someone out there who thinks the same way as I do! :0) As for Lucas's jealously, its' a whole lot of fun to write because I don't think he was ever jealous enough especially when it came to the way Mark played it out. It was always Brooke and her insecurities! It's time the roles change between the two! I too really enjoy Jake and Brooke's friendship. I honestly think Jake respects his friendship with Lucas too much that he would never screw him over and that's why I don't have a problem writing out a story line for them. That also goes for Brooke and the rest of the guys. Everyone's with who their rightful life-mate I honestly it should have been the way period! I know there was way toooooo much Peywhore in the last update, but let me tell you it won't happen again. This story is solely about Brucas and Kaliegh with the occasional friends and family thrown in the mix but like I explained to you I did it so everyone sees how selfless our beloved Brooke is! :0) Why Mark was infatuated with peywhore I'll never understand but like you, I agree 100 percent with you. There are times when I think Jake's too good for her but I would rather have her with him than with Lucas! I can't express enough how much I hate Mark and the way OTH played out! It still bothers me to this day! I can tell you now, that you have nothing to worry about when it comes to Brucas! Regardless of how much Brooke defends her, Lucas will never have any romantic feelings or any relationship with her. Hell he has the same opinions we do about the curly blonde! lol He's only putting up with her because of his love for his wife! I would never do anything to screw Brucas over like Mark has! As for Rachel, she'll always be in the brunette's life. I've always loved their friendship. Yes they wanted to rip each other's throats out at the beginning but I love love love how she always has her back no matter what!! I'm glad you're enjoying Brucas and Kaliegh because even though that little girl and my story is all make believe… I toooooo can't help but fall in love with their little family! I hope it's not toooooo cheesy because everything I write and update for you guys … is totally being played out in my head just as the way I imagine it happening you know? I know that personally it's something I know I'd enjoy watching on tv for sure!! :0) I hope you continue to enjoy my updates and I'm sooooo sorry it's taking me forever to update!! I promise I'll work on it!! Thank you for giving me your feedback love…. Because you know I love love love hearing from you!! I can't wait to hear what you think of this update! Hopefully it's not tooooooooooooooo long or feels tooooooo rushed! I would have expanded Brucas's scene at the hospital but I felt like it was getting way too long already? Newho… once again I hope you enjoy this update not to mention it met all the other chapter's standards!! :0) P.S Thanks for pushing me when I fall behind on updates love!
Diane luvs u: Hi love… thanks for reading, reviewing and praises! You seriously rOoOock! It means a lot to me that you enjoy this story and once again I apologize for taking forever to update! I promise to work on it and do better!! :0) I actually haven't watched any parts of season 6 or 7 because Mark totally killed it for me! Brucas will always be endgame to me regardless of how the show played out… not to mention… I won't let him take that their love from me either!! :0) I hope you continue to stick with me… and enjoy future updates!! This is how it should have been for them!! P.S Thanks for dropping comments to get my rear in gear when I fall behind on updates!
Gina: Hey you… sorry it's taking me forever to update but I'm working on it, I promise! :0) Thanks for sticking with me… and I really really hope you enjoy future chapters!! :0) P.S Thanks for staying on top of me when I get behind on updates
