Under My Control
Chapter 22
Author's Note : And so it begins. Let me know what you think of the chapter.? Review!
Later on that day
With Jamie doing his homework upstairs and Jonah playing with his toys in the same room it's safe to say that the boys were distracted and a safe distance away.
Which gave Brooke and Lucas the space and freedom to speak freely.
"I'm trying to wrap my mind around this whole odd situation. This girl just offers you her unborn baby.?" Lucas asked.
Brooke takes a breath and looks back at him.
"Yes stranger things have happened especially in this town. Supposedly she heard about my fertility struggles you remember that interview i did a few months ago. And she said she's 16. A foster kid. Living in her car. She knows that she isn't ready for parenthood. But knows i am. She wants me to adopt her baby. She's 7 months along. It's a little girl Luke."
"I've wanted to be a mother for years now. This could be my chance to have from the beginning. To break the cycle and have a strong/healthy mother/daughter relationship."
"I already have her name picked out. Haley Karen Scott." Brooke said.
The expression on Lucas's face softened. "That couldn't be a more meaningful name. I love it especially her having my last name." He said.
"I just thought since we are in the same house. Jamie and Jonah already have Scott as their last name. There i go rushing into things. I could just change it to Davis. You are under no forced fatherhood role here." Brooke said. Unable to stop herself from rambling.
Lucas took her hands in his. "I want this with you. I want her to have my last. For me to be a dad to her. Would be an honor. My only concern is that you just met this girl. She's a strangr making a big promise. I just don't want to be heartbroken if things don't work out." He said.
"I have this overwheling want and need to be a mother. If spending large amounts of money. And risking my heart is all that it takes for that to happen then i'll do it." Brooke said.
"We're in this together then. What exactly do you mean spending large amounts of money.?" Lucas asked.
"The girl carrying our baby can't stay in a car. I'm going to meet with her and put her up in a luxury hotel suite for the remainder of her pregnancy." Brooke said.

Days Later
Sam laughed as she lounged in the large expensive bed. Putting her hands on her stomach.
Hearing a knock at the door Sam got up and walked over to the door opening it slowly.
An older woman with black hair walked inside. She gazed around the suite then looked back at Sam.
"Holy shit. They have you living like a celebrity and you didn't even have the baby yet." The woman said.
"Brooke said she's going to pay for all my medical bills and when i actually have the baby. Her and her boyfriend the famous author Lucas Scott. They seem decent i think i can pull this off without a mistake. " Sam said.
"You are going to have months of money coming in. This will be our biggest con job yet." The older woman with a smile.

The Scott Home
After getting multiple calls from the elementary school recess monitors. Lucas and i sat Jamie down and expressed our concerns.
"The recess monitors have told us you aren't playing with you're friends at recess anymore." Brooke said.
"One of them told us that you go off on you're own and are sometimes the last kid to come in from recess why is that Jamie.? We need to know what's really going on here.?" Lucas asked.
"I don't want to talk about it." The six year old said. Looking away from them.
"You don't have a choice in order to help you. You have to be honest with us." Lucas said.
"I go and visit momma. I talk with her and sometimes i bring her things. She's all alone there and i'm alone too. So i thought we could be alone together." Jamie said.
Brooke looked to Lucas. Then back at Jamie.
"You aren't alone honey. You have me and you're uncle Lucas remember." Brooke said. Attempting to reassure him.
It was then that Jamie jumped up from his seat.
And stared up at them.
"No i don't! The only reason i'm even here is because you were forced to take me! Momma's gone. My dad doesn't love me anymore! I'm all alone! I don't care what you say! It's the truth and i know it.!" Jamie yelled. Turning from them as he ran up the stairs.
"Jamie wait. Come down let's keep talking." Lucas said.
"No Just leave me alone everybody!" Jamie yelled. As he charged up the stairs.
...
Jamie closed the door behind himself. Pulled out his cellphone from the drawer and dialed his father's cellphone number. He put the phone to his ear as the call rang and rang at some point it picked up.
Jamie felt overcome with relief.
"Daddy. I miss you. Where are you.? I need to see you please." Jamie pleaded his voice breaking with emotion.
...
Nathan closed the sliding glass down and sat down on a lawn chair.
He clutched the phone to his ear.
"I'm not coming back to Tree Hill ever again. There is nothing left for me there. I signed papers which says that. I'm not you're father anymore. The truth is i never wanted you. You're mom. Don't call me again." Nathan said. Before hanging up the phone.
Jamie threw the cellphone across the room. And broke down in tears. He got into bed and pulled the covers over his head as his loud cries filled the empty bedroom.
