Hey guys, so I know it's been a while since I've uploaded, but I've been busy with Christmas shopping and stuff, but here is a longer chapter than usual which you all will like.
So this is the last chapter and I know that sucks, but I will be back with an epilogue soon after Christmas and then I'll be back with a new story in the New Year.
So I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and I hope you all have such a good day and got what you asked for. I hope you have a good time with your families. Love to you all always
So… ENJOY!
Lucas's POV
"Mommy, Daddy" Noah and Skilar came running into the room. Skilar started calling me daddy when she heard Noah call Brooke Mommy and I was just thankful she didn't get jealous since it has just been her and Brooke for so long, but Brooke says because she has finally got a daddy she was happy with sharing her since Noah was sharing me too "wake up, wake up" Noah jumped onto the bed and helped Skilar up
"Wake up" Skilar says jumping on me "Daddy"
"Okay okay I'm up" I finally crack opening my eyes "I see you two are excited to open your presents"
"Yes!" they both yelled and then Brooke groaned out of her sleep.
"Is it that time already?" she groaned again opening her eyes.
"Mommy come" Skilar says pulling at Brooke's hand "Noah you get daddy and I'll take mommy"
"Okay" Noah says taking my hand and pulling.
"Alright you two monkey's we are coming" I pull the cover back from me and stand up passing Brooke her night grown.
All four of us went down the stairs and went to the living room and both Skilar and Noah's eyes widened at all the presents under the tree. They both ran over and sat down on their bean bags.
"Okay wait" Brooke says "we need black sacks for the rubbish and pictures need to be taken too"
"I'll grab the black sacks from the kitchen and you sort out the camera" Brooke nods.
I come back into the room and set two black sacks up and Brooke is ready to snap on her camera "okay so let's start"
All the rubbish went straight into a black sack and we had very happy children opening and playing with their presents. Victoria and Richard joined us a few minutes after the kids opened their first presents. Brooke was in the kitchen cooking. We had everyone coming over in a few hours and it just felt so normal being like a big happy family.
"Luke could you go get the big dining table from the garage please?" Brooke called from the kitchen.
"Sure" I called back. Richard offered to help.
"So Lucas when you going to ask my daughter for her hand?" he asked as we walked into the garage.
"I was actually thinking maybe tonight after dinner" I answer walking over to the folded table.
"That's good" he nods as we pick up the table and head back inside.
"There's a Christmas table cloth on the side could you put the table up and then put that on please" I nod and do as she asked.
"Daddy could you help me please" Skilar calls for me. I finish putting the table cloth on and then go and help her "it won't work" she says.
I look at her toy and read the box "oh pumpkin it just needs batteries, I'll go get some for you" I walk into the kitchen "Brooke where did we put the batteries?" she goes to the cupboard and gets them then passes them to me "thank you baby" I peck her lips quickly and then go back to Skilar "okay baby girl here we go" I sort out her toy for her and she smiles.
"Thank you daddy" I kiss her cheek.
"Very welcome princess"
Brooke's POV
Lucas and I both set the table together just before the bell to the door started to ring and everyone arrived to share Christmas dinner and the evening with us. We all sat around the table and I was just so glad and happy for us all to be here together.
"Brooke everything looks amazing" Karen says smiling at me.
"Thank you"
"And it smells good too" Haley comments "I'm starving too"
"There is plenty to go round" Mom says walking in from the kitchen.
"Everyone this is my Mom" I introduce "and my dad is over with Luke" everyone said hi to both of them and then went back to talking to each other.
"So, you seem really happy cookie" Mum walks into the kitchen after me.
I looked up and saw Lucas sitting playing one of Skilar's toys with her and she was giggling and then Noah was playing with Jamie. A smile formed on my lips "I really am Mum" I nod "I don't think I've ever been happier"
"I'm really happy that you are Brooke. You and Skilar deserve to be happy" she wraps her arms around my shoulders and gives me a little hug "knowing you and my granddaughter are looked after will make me and your father happy"
"Thank you and daddy for everything you have done for Ski and me" I kiss her cheek.
"We are so proud of how well you have brought her up single handedly cookie, so we thank you for giving us the perfect granddaughter" she gives my cheek a kiss and then leaves and wonders back over to my dad.
When we were sat around the fire in the den after Christmas Dinner was done and everyone was just laughing and having such a great time it reminded me that this is what I've always wanted. I wanted the family, the girlfriend someday wife and my friends and family just happy together. When I saw Brooke have Noah and Skilar both sitting in her lap one on each knee and she was talking to Haley and Peyton who had their kids in their laps too is the moment I knew I wanted to make her my wife.
I was falling since we met and I didn't want to fall too soon because what if she didn't feel the same way, but now almost 7 months later we were together and had a wonderful family and friends and both our parents got on well with each other and I think her dad warmed to me when we met that morning. Brooke seemed happy and I was really happy. Brooke looked over at me as she laughed at something Haley had said and I gave her a little wink and she winked back and I knew then I was going have this girl in my life forever if she wanted me for that long too.
"So man you going to do it?" Jake asked as I watched Brooke laughing again "I mean you going to ask her?"
I brought the ring just before Christmas because I wanted Brooke to be my forever. We've both been through rough patches and lost people we loved and it was hard for me to admit to myself that I could love someone else again after what happened. It took me almost four years to realise that my live could have love in it again and when Brooke walked into my life something sparked the emotion in me again and I am very grateful for that.
I don't answer Jake I just stand up and walk over to Brooke. She looks up at me and I smile down at her and hold out my hand for her to take. Skilar and Noah scoot off of her and go over to Haley andPeyton as Brooke stands up looking at me with confusion written in her face.
Earlier today I pulled Brooke's dad Richard to the side and asked his permission for Brooke's hand and he gave it to me telling me that he hasn't seen his little kitten this happy in a very long time and thanked me for making her happy, but he didn't need to thank me; she made me just as happy.
I looked into her beautiful eyes and knew I was making the right decision for Noah and me. I asked Noah and Skilar earlier today if it was okay to ask Brooke to marry me and Skilar got super excited about picking out a dress it made me laugh and Noah was just happy to get a Mom.
"Luke are you okay?" she asked sounding worried.
I nod and give her a reassuring smile that seemed to calm her down a little "so what's going on?" Brooke looked around the room at everyone looking at us and my heart hammered against my chest.
"Brooke" I breathe out trying to find the right words to say "almost 4 years ago I lost the one only person I have actually been in love with and it broke my heart into a million pieces, but I got Noah. For years I thought I would never love anyone like that again, but I was wrong because then 7 months ago you walked into the café and into my life with Skilar and I fell in love, with the both of you" I could see tears form in her eyes as she smiled at me "we have had the most wonderful months being together and the way you treat Noah means so much to me and I appreciate it so much. We've both had our hearts broken and both felt loss in different ways and now we've found each other we have mended our broken hearts together and I am truly and utterly in love with you Brooke Davis and I don't care who knows it" a tear slowly slides down her cheek and I knock it away.
"Lucas" she mutters tears falling down her cheek "after what happened with Julian you have become this guy that protects me from hurt and that takes care after Skilar like she is your daughter and you have become the constant in her life and my life and we love that. Skilar loves you and I'm glad she does because so do I. I fell in love with you because your like no other I've met before. I'm glad I moved her and met you and all your friends and family because now they're my friends and my family too"
I nodded and then got down on one knee and her eyes widened and she grasped in shock "Lucas what, what are you doing?"
"I didn't think I'd ever want to get married again until I met you Brooke. I haven't been married, but I've been engaged and you have been married, but life changes and sometimes for the better. You and Skilar are my family now with me and Noah and everyone in this room, so Brooke Penelope Davis would you do me the complete honor and become Brooke Davis Scott?"
She slapped her hand to her mouth and nodded as more tears came down her cheeks. I smile up and her and slide the ring onto her finger and stand up. She jumps at me and wraps her arms around my neck and I hug her close.
"I love you Pretty Lady" I whisper to her.
"I love you too Luke" and that was the start of our life together.
PLEASE REVIEW! Lots of love from me to you Roch xoxo
