Clean Slate

Chapter 14

Author's Note : I love and apreciate the feedback. But i have to ask because i'm seeing it alot. How is Brooke the victim.? Lucas is the one who never knew had a child in the world all these years. Brooke is still on the fence as to if she wants kids of her own. The hook up between and Lucas started with that kiss in the flashback. She explained the rest in her recent scene.

Lucas couldn't focus on anything work related so he went home. The ride through town was quiet. Which was no surprise to the couple. They both had so much going on in their minds to think about.

Once Lucas and Brooke got to their home. They left their seperate cars. And looked to each other.

Surprised to see the boy from the picture Rachel had. Left seated on their porch.

"According to what my mom said. You're my dad. She wouldn't of left here otherwise." Eugene stated matter of fact.

The expression on Lucas's face softened as he walked over to where the boy was seated and sat down.

"I didn't know anything about you. If i did. I would of been there everyday. As much as possible. I need you to know that. I hope we can get to know each other and build a relationship." Lucas proclaimed.

"I'll be fine whether we have a relationship or not. Mom was always away traveling for some modeling thing. That's probably why she dumped me on you."

"I'm getting older and she can't just stick me in front of a tv or with a random babysitter. She wasn't exactly the warm and cuddly type."

"I usually always got my own breakfast and dinner. Once i was old enough. She's probably at the airport by now." Eugene explained.

"I know you. You're Brooke Davis. That fashion designer." Eugene announced. Locking his gaze on Brooke.

Brooke smiled warmly.

"I am. Lucas and I have been married for some time now. Let's get you inside. Unpack. I'll get lunch." Brooke replied.

Eugene clung to his large suitcase as he followed Brooke inside the home.

It was Tree Hill. Finding out where Lucas lived by asking around was easy. He knew this sudden change would be alot on Brooke to take which is why.

He made it a point to talk to her alone about.

While Eugene explored the home office downstairs.

"In the span of a few hours. My life changed. And so did yours."

"I need to know how you feel about Eugene staying here.?" Lucas asked.

"He's you're son. I love you. He's a part of you. I'll adjust." She reassured him.

"Now tell me you're news." Lucas insisted.

Brooke laid it out for Lucas. Having a brother. Being the product of an affair.

He hugged her tightly. And kissed her gently.

"You belong here. With me. I would be lost without you."

"I need you. This isn't home without you." Lucas stated matter of fact.

"I love you too." Brooke replied.

Lucas left the bedroom. Knowing Brooke needed some time to herself.

...

Brooke grabbed ahold of her purse. Went into the bathroom. And took the pregnancy test.

She washed her hands and waited. When the few minutes passed.

She stared down at the test. And saw a positive sign.

Brooke looked at the test then back at her body in the mirror.

Placing her hands on her flat stomach.

She was pregnant.
