Hey guys, hope you'll have had a good week. Christmas is coming fast isn't it? I'm so excited for it. What is your favourite holiday?

ENJOY!

Brooke's POV

"And he makes you both happy?" Dad asked as we waited for Lucas and Noah to come over to stay for Christmas. I knew it would be a little strange because my parents were here, but I love Lucas and he makes me super happy. Sssh I have just said the L word, I haven't even said that to Lucas yet.

"Yes daddy he makes us very happy" I place Skilar up on the kitchen side and give her a juice box.

"He is very nice Papa" Skilar says sipping through the straw.

"Well good" Dad nods as we heard three knocks throughout the house.

Skilar jumped down from the kitchen side "be careful butterfly" Mom called after her, but she carried on down the hall to the front door.

"Mommy they here" Skilar says excited stopping by the door "Mommy hurry"

"I'm coming Princess" I say walking up behind her to open the door "Hi" I smile when I pull the door open to see Lucas and Noah standing there.

"Hi Brooke" he breathed out leaning in to peck my lips. I stepped to the side so they could come in shutting the door behind them.

"Nana, papa this is Noah" Skilar introduced "my bestest friend"

"Hi Noah its lovely to meet you" Mom smiles down at him "Skilar talks about you a lot"

"Mom, dad, this is Lucas" Lucas gives a small wave and smiles.

"Oh Cookie he is very handsome" Mom compliments "Hi Lucas, I'm Victoria and this is my husband Richard"

"Hi sir" Lucas held out his hand and dad shook it.

"Nice hand shake son" dad replied with a stern voice "My girl tells me that you treat Skilar like your own"

"Well I think of her as mine, so yes sir I do" Lucas replies

"You can call me Richard son, if you make my girls happy then I am happy" I kiss dad on the cheek and he gives me a smile back.

"See I told you my daddy is no fool" Lucas just smiles at me and I take his hand in mine "I brought beer"

"Come Noah lets go watch nemo" Skilar says and they run off to the den to watch the film. That tended to me their favourite film they shared together and it was nice because Skilar had someone she could play with and we both have a guy that it seems we can rely on. I liked that. Lucas seemed to be true to what he would say and things seemed to be going well.

"We understand that you and your boy are spending Christmas with us?" Daddy says.

Lucas nods "yes we are sir" Lucas replied "Christmas is time to spend with people we care about and I care deeply for Brooke and Skilar"

Dad smiled then gave me a little wink "I'm glad to hear son" dad gave Lucas a nod.

"Okay well your dad and I are going to go out shopping so we'll be back later cookie" Mom says grabbing her coat and putting it on.

"We are?" Dad questioned raising his eye brow.

"We are dear" Mom nodded handing him his coat too "so put this on"

"Oh the joys of shopping with a Davis women" Mom rolled her eyes and Lucas laughed "don't go shopping with these two Lucas, you won't survive"

"Oh dad we aren't that bad" I also roll my eyes at him "but you two have fun" Mom pushed dad out the door.

"They seem really lovely Brooke" Lucas says once mom and dad left.

"They are pretty great" I walk with Lucas down to the kitchen "so what would you and Noah like for dinner?"

"It's nice this huh?" Lucas says smiling goofy at me.

"What is?" I ask taking a beer out of the fridge and popping the top then handing it to him.

"This, me and you together and the kids and just everything" He says swigging at his beer.

"It is nice" I agree "you and Noah make us really happy and I'm glad I chose to walk into Karen's cafe that day" I snake my arms around his neck pecking his lips.

"I'm glad you did too" He says kissing me again.

"Mommy" I turn around and see Noah and Skilar standing there "can we have juice please" I nod and grab two juices from the fridge "thank you" Skilar runs off.

"Are you going to be my mommy too?" Noah asks and I lean down to his level.

"If I'm going to be your mommy would you like that?" Noah nodded "I would like that too buddy" I wrap him in a hug "and Skilar would be your sister"

His eyes went wide "really?" I nod and he grasps "and we'd be a family"

"That we would" he kisses my cheek.

"You'll be the best mommy ever" he whispers into my ear and I beam a smile back at him.

"I'll try and be the bestest mommy ever" I assured him "because you both deserve that"

"I have the bestest daddy already and now I'll have the bestest mommy too"

I look to Lucas "he is pretty great aye" Noah smiled and nodded "and we are lucky to have the bestest kids ever"

"Noah come quick it's the turtles again" Skilar called out.

"Oh I better go back there. The turtles are the best" Noah smiles "bye mommy" and then he ran back to Skilar making my heart flutter when he called me mommy.

"So I guess you are his mommy now then" Lucas says wrapping his arms from behind around my waist "are you okay with that"

I nod turning in his arms "I am okay with that, wouldn't want anything else"

"I love you Brooke" my eyes widened at the mention of the L word and my heart melted all over again.

"I love you too Luke" and I did and I have never felt anything like it before

Lucas POV

Brooke was up stairs with Victoria and the kids were tucked in bed after they were both bathed and had a book read to them and they were both sleeping now. So I walk into the den and see Richard sitting reading a paper.

"Richard could I speak to you for a moment please?" he looked up from his paper and nodded putting it down and placing it in his lap.

"What can I do for you Lucas?" he asks

I take a seat opposite him "I wanted to ask you something" I say feeling a little nervous.

"Okay son, go ahead" I take a deep breath

"I care for Brooke and Skilar so much and I am very grateful and lucky that they walked into my life and I want to just protect them and build a life with them, so I wanted to ask you if it would be okay to ask Brooke to marry me and I know she's been married before, but this time will be different because I love her a lot and I love Skilar and I know she loves Noah and me the same and I just want to make her really happy and I think I could do that"

I looked up and saw Richard was just smiling at me. He took his glasses off "Lucas seeing my daughter this happy makes me happy and realise that she made a good move to come here and seeing my granddaughter warm to you and seeing you all be a family is nice. Brooke told me about you this morning, but I saw the light on her face when she mentioned your name and Skilar too. They are very happy and that makes me and Victoria happy so yes Lucas you can ask my daughter to marry you"

"Thank you Richard and I promise this time Brooke will be married to me forever"

"I know that Lucas. The difference between you and Julian is that you love Brooke for her heart and her soul whereas Julian loved Brooke for her status. I never liked Julian and I knew him for a lot longer than I've known you and I can already tell that you'll make Brooke a lot happier than he ever could or did"

And that made me happy and very pleased. Getting Richard's approval was what I want, but knowing that he knows that I can make Brooke happier than she's been and knowing that he likes me is what I wanted. Brooke is what I want and I'm going to get her.

REVIEW PLEASE!

Love to you all, Roch xoxo
