Chapter 4 Disclaimer: I do not own One Tree Hill. Chapter was written by Arie. -3 years later- Brooke knocked on Lucas's door. "Hi." Lucas greeted opening the door. "Here." Brooke replied handing the 2-year-old baby in her arms over to Lucas, "I'll be back to pick her up at 6." "Alright, I'll see you then." "Oh and we have an appointment with our therapist tomorrow at 3." Brooke added before heading back to her car. Brooke and Lucas had a trial separation. Their therapist suggested it. Mainly because Peyton hadn't showed up any time in last 3 years to get Luke. After a couple months Lucas said Luke should live with him. Then Brooke and Lucas had their daughter Lela. Brooke had always been a little weird about the fact that Luke was living with them. It had kind of torn them apart. Lucas carried Lela into the house. "Luke." Lucas called. "Hmm?" 7-year-old Luke said walking into the room. "We have Lela today, what do you want to do?" Lucas asked. "I don't know." Luke shrugged. "Okay well I'm going to put Lela in her play pin. Then we'll come up with something. Okay?" "Sure dad." Luke replied before grabbing his sketchpad off the table and carrying it into the living room. Lucas was about to follow after him when the doorbell rang. "Mommy must have forgotten something." Lucas said to Lela as he answered the door. Peyton Sawyer stood in front of him. "Peyton?" Lucas said. "Hi Lucas." Peyton replied. "What are you doing here?" "I came to get my son." Luke came to the door. "Mom?" Luke asked shocked. "Hey buddy." Peyton replied running her hand through his blonde curls. Luke smoothed his hands over his hair, "Don't." "Sorry." Peyton said. "Hey Peyton what are you doing here?" Lucas asked. "I told you I came to get Luke." Peyton replied. "I don't want to go with you." Luke cried. "Buddy, what do you mean? You love me." Peyton replied. "Mom you left me! I had no idea where you were. And I'd rather stay with Dad and Lela. Also if you hadn't of left me maybe Dad and Brooke would still be together." Luke said. "You and Brooke aren't together?" Peyton asked. "Trial separation. Taking on two kids in the same time frame was a little hard on her. But we managed. And I'm sorry but I can't let you take Luke. He's part of the family now, weather Brooke comes back or not." Lucas replied. "He's my son." Peyton yelled. "Mine too! And you haven't been around in 3 years. I already got custody." "What?" Peyton asked. "I went to a judge a year ago. We couldn't find you so he signed over custody to me." Lucas replied. "You stole my son!" Peyton yelled. "My son." (By Arie) .................................... Please read and Review Tardyhick06 (
