Chapter Three: Decisions
Brooke sat on the floor in her bedroom playing candyland with Isaac. He was beating her and she was enjoying it. Lucas lay on her bed reading Light In August. Karen stuck her head in the door and smiled.
"Isaac your mom says you have to take your bath now." The boy sighed and stood up.
"But I don't want to." Kathy stuck her head in the room holding a sleeping Molly in her arms.
"You don't have a choice Izzy boy. Now move your butt." He smiled and shook his head.
"Can Brooke and Luc give me my bath?" Kathy looked at Brooke who shrugged.
"Yeah we can do that squirt." Lucas ruffled his hair and Kathy and Karen left the room. Brooke put the game away while Lucas ran the water.
"I'm going downstairs to see if we still have those bath toys, be right back." Lucas kissed Brooke's forehead as she helped Isaac out of his jeans. She nodded and threw Isaac's clothes in the floor.
"You ready Izzy?" He nodded and climbed into the bathtub. Brooke sat down on the toilet and helped him wash his hair. Lucas came back with three small submarines for him to play with. They played sink Isaac's sub for almost twenty minutes before he started to look like a prune. Lucas grabbed a towel and lifted him out of the tub.
Thirty minutes later Brooke kissed a sleeping Isaac's forehead. His hair was plastered down to his forehead and his chest rose so softly you cold barely see it. She smiled and made sure he wouldn't fall off the couch before cutting off the light. Lucas followed her into her bedroom and closed the door. Karen had decided that Isaac would have the couch, Kathy and the babies would have Lucas's loft and Brooke could have her bed and Lucas the floor in her room. As long as they promised to behave. Those were her exact words. Brooke climbed under her covers and looked at Lucas down on the floor.
"Goodnight Lucas." She smiled and he leaned up to kiss her. Her hand played with the hairs on the back of his neck.
"Night Brooke." There was an empty silence as both thought about the three words they wanted to say but couldn't. She lay back down and let her arm hang off the bed, holding Lucas's hand.
"Hey Lucas." He smiled to himself. They probably wouldn't be sleeping for a while. Brooke had issues with the concept of silence.
"Yeah?" She stared at the dark room.
"Where is Isaac's dad?" Lucas moved on his pallet of covers.
"He left after the twins were born, about three months ago. Why?" Brooke closed her eyes.
"I just wondered," Before Lucas knew what had happened she was asleep. He closed his eyes. Isaac must have worn her out. He kissed her hand softly before rolling over to sleep on his stomach.
Brooke sat upright in bed and rubbed her eyes with the back of her hand. It was thundering outside and lightning flashed bright in the room. It wasn't the storm that had woke her though. The door opened slowly and she barely heard the voice.
"Brooke, I'm scared." She smiled softly and reached for where the voice was coming. Her hands wrapped around Isaac and pulled him onto the bed.
"You want to sleep up here?" He nodded sleepily, Brooke able to see him only because he was so close. Lucas snored softly from the floor and she shook her head. She lifted the covers and let him slip down beside her. Isaac obviously hated storms. Brooke wrapped her arms around his middle and rested her chin on the top of her head.
"It's only a storm Izzy boy." He snuggled against her and she smiled. Suddenly she remembered last spring. When she and Lucas had their "Scare". The pregnancy test had come out positive and she had been so scared. But then she had found out she wasn't and relief was bittersweet. Her baby would almost be Molly and Lily's age. But there would be time for that. She looked at the floor and listened to Lucas snoring and smiled.
Lucas sat up and yawned. His watch said it was just after eight. He looked over at Brooke and smiled to see Isaac asleep in her arms. Kathy and Karen could be heard in the kitchen and he followed the smell of bacon and eggs. Kathy smiled at him.
"Is my son in there?" He nodded and grabbed a piece of toast.
"Brooke has him. Can I see her?" He gestured to Molly, wearing a white outfit with a purple bib. Kathy handed her over willingly. Lily sat in her bouncy chair on the chair. Lucas walked into the living room and bounced Molly on his knee smiling at her. She was so cute. The door to his right opened and Brooke walked out with Isaac by her side. She had on a pair of cheer shorts and a white tanktop, her hair loose and wavy on her shoulders.
"Hey babe." She kissed his cheek and plopped down on the couch pulling Isaac onto her lap.
"How did you two sleep in that tiny bed?" He asked his eyes taking in Isaac's curly hair and the sleep in his eyes. Lucas had been at the hospital when he was born. Brooke sighed and leaned her head on the top of Isaac's head.
"We didn't. Isaac hogs the covers. I almost pushed him off to make him sleep with you." She pouted and tickled Isaac. Clearly the little boy was in love with her. Molly sneezed and Brooke smiled.
"You are the most adorable little thing I have ever seen." Lucas looked at her like he was offended.
"More adorable than me?" He said in mock anger. She kissed him softly ignoring the morning breath mixed with toast.
"I didn't call her sexy babe." Isaac made a gagging noise and slid off her lap. From the kitchen Kathy and Karen watched them.
"I know it isn't fair to ask you to do this but I can't handle the three of them alone. When the twins get older I will but right now they depend on me. So can you take him for a while?" Karen watched Lucas and Brooke tickling the redhead. Space would be tight…
