Ok I wanted to make this chapter really cute, just to make up for the uh…previous drama that went on lol, so this is definitely fluff…enjoy!
"Bye baby" Brooke giggled, kissing Madison bye. "I love you"
"Bye mommy…haves fun with Daddy…don't be naughty" Madison advised, patting Brooke on the head and blowing Lucas a kiss.
"Thanks for the advice, Maddie bear" Lucas laughed, kissing his daughter bye. Karen smiled. "Haven't I taught her so well?" she laughed, hugging Brooke and Lucas bye. "See you tonight…she'll be asleep probably by the time you get back but that's ok" Karen smiled, waving them off. Brooke and Lucas had declared the chilly November day "Broody and Cheery day" and had decided to take an entire day and just hang out with each other.
"Well…what do you wanna do?" Lucas asked.
"I have a place we should go" Brooke giggled, dragging Lucas by the hand. They arrived at the bar where Brooke had shown Lucas her tattoo and it had led to…much more.
"And we have to use the fake IDs…Henry" Brooke giggled.
"Gretchen" Lucas laughed, handing the IDs to the bartender and getting two beers from her. "Let's shoot pool"
"Ok…I love kicking your ass at pool"
"Oh you think you're gonna kick my ass? You're sadly mistaken" Lucas laughed, kissing Brooke.
"Oh really? Well bring it on Broody" Brooke giggling, hitting the ball and sending it flying into the corner.
"Good shot, Brooke" Lucas smirked, hitting the ball and sending two into the little basket. "Oh well looks like you've lost your touch since junior year" Lucas laughed, and Brooke pouted. "Come here" he said, taking her into his arms and kissing her. "I love you, you know that, right?"
"Yah" Brooke giggled. "I love you too"
"Good…cause I can't wait to kick your butt at pool!" Lucas laughed. They played pool and talked for an hour and then proceeded to walk down to Tree Hill High.
"Wow…some good times there" Brooke commented.
"I know…good and bad…high school was totally drama filled"
"I know! You and Peyton cheating on me, me being an awesome cheerleading slut…" Brooke giggled. Lucas laughed and kissed her. "But we ended up normal right?" she said.
"I don't know about you…" Lucas laughed.
"Broody!"
"I love you" he laughed.
"Yah, yah" Brooke giggled. "Hey remember Christmas? That church where the priest caught us making out?"
"Haha yah?"
"We should go pay him a visit!"
"No, Brooke" Lucas defended vehemently. "I'm still stinging from that"
"Well then you can sting some more, my hot hubby because I am taking you there" Brooke giggled, doing a tremendous hair flip that she knew got Lucas every time.
"Oh no Brooke do not hair flip me" Lucas whined. "You know it drives me crazy"
"I know that's why I do it" Brooke whispered seductively, grabbing his hand and starting to walk in the direction of the old church.

"So what's going on with you and Jake?" Haley asked an upset Peyton tenderly.
"Its just he picks fights over random things and he agreed to let Nikki see Jenny so that's changing Jenny a lot and she's mean to Catherine now and I'm just stressed out and I'm not sure our marriage is gonna work out" Peyton said, letting a tear slip down her cheek. "He's absorbed in Nikki and Jenny and their newfound relationship and Nikki totally undid all my hard work on Jenny for the last 12 years and now I'm stuck with my husband who doesn't have time for me and a 12 year old who think dying her hair black and calling Catherine a little witch is a good idea" Peyton sighed.
"Oh no…Peyton…I know me and Brooke haven't been the best of friends to you" Haley said.
"No, not your fault at all…its just I'm not sure me and Jake is gonna work out"
"Why not…you love each other, right?"
"Yah, but that doesn't seem to be enough"
"That's more than enough, Peyton. Love is all you need" Haley said softly, hugging Peyton. "And call me anytime, anywhere…I'll be there, ok?" Haley said.
"Yah…thanks Hales" Peyton sniffed, glancing out at the rain.

"Broody I'm soaked!" Brooke whined, running from the rain.
"You look hot wet, though"
"As do you" Brooke giggled, kissing him.
"And not to mention you look absolutely beautiful" Lucas added.
"With my hair wet, makeup running, and my clothes clinging to me?" Brooke asked doubtfully.
"Definitely…I think you look beautiful 24/7 but maybe I'm just biased" Lucas whispered. Brooke giggled and glanced down. He made her feel like they were in high school again…that's what she really loved about him. Every time she kissed him, it felt like the first time. Lucas put his arm around Brooke and walked into the church. The priest was sitting at the podium, with his glasses on, reading the Bible.
"Hello…how may I help you?" the priest asked. Lucas grimaced and elbowed Brooke.
"Hello…do you remember me? Bridget Davis…and Landon Scott?" she giggled.
"Yes" the priest frowned.
"Well we're married now" Brooke giggled.
"Oh…I suppose congratulations are in order…do you attend church regularly?" the priest asked pryingly.
"No" Brooke giggled.
"Well I hope to see you for Sunday Mass" the priest said, smiling and retiring to the back of the room.
"And pigs will fly" Brooke snorted, dragging Lucas out of the church.
"That was interesting"
"Definitely something to tell our grandchildren" Brooke giggled, kissing Lucas.
"Madison's not having any children" Lucas said decidedly.
"Uh…ok" Brooke giggled. "Omg do you remember that one restaurant we went to when we had just started officially dating?"
"Yah…the seafood place"
"And I got you totally drunk"
"Hey! I did that all by myself" Lucas defended vehemently.
"No you didn't…" Brooke giggled, pointing to the window with a huge closed sign on it. "I would say we should go, but I'm not hungry and it's closed" she laughed.
"Hey come on Brooke it's my turn now…" Lucas said, taking her hand and dragging her in the opposite direction.

"Oh no Nathan Scott I am holding your four year old child you cannot push me into the pool" Haley screamed at Nathan, laughing. Nathan snatched Anthony out of Haley's arms and pushed her into the pool. She emerged 10 seconds later sputtering and coughing.
"Oh Nathan I'm getting you back for this" Haley cried, splashing a tremendous amount of water on Nathan and Anthony, who splashed back enough water to drown out a small country. Haley screamed and swam after them, using a lime green noodle to hit both of them repeatedly.
"Daddy swims faster!" Anthony instructed Nathan, paddling feebly with his little legs. "Mommy's coming!" he yelled like an action hero, splashing wildly. Nathan laughed and swam faster, with Haley in hot pursuit. Haley finally caught up and jumped on Nathan. He grabbed her and pulled her into a kiss.
"Ew" Anthony giggled, throwing water at his parents.
"Ew, you say? Well lets see what you'll say when all the hottest girls in school want you cause you look exactly like your daddy" Nathan laughed, grabbing Anthony and throwing him over his shoulder. Anthony screamed with laughter and giggled, and finally Nathan put him down, and went to do a lap. When he finally resurfaced, he found himself being attacked by the hose, Haley, and Anthony.

"Grandma, mommy and daddy doing something naughty?" Madison asked over her food.
"No baby, I don't think so…I hope not" Karen laughed. Alexis, home from college for a week, giggled and shook her head.
"Brooke has this child corrupted so that no one can reverse it" Alexis laughed.
"I know…the damage has been done…she's Brooke up down and all around"
"I can see Lucas in her though" Alexis said. "Some things she does remind me strikingly of Lucas"
"Yah, true" Karen said. "Her temperament is a perfect mix of Brooke and Lucas…she's well behaved but with a lot of spunk" Karen analyzed.
"I's gonna go to Targets" Madison announced.
"Really?" Alexis laughed.
"Uh huh…Ashton drives me!" She giggled. "And I use daddy's credit card to buy pretty shoes" she giggled.
"Definitely Brooke's doing"
"Oh yah"
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"How do you think our munchkin is right now?" Lucas asked.
"Probably talking about Target" Brooke giggled. "We're at the Rivercourt!"
"Yah…I'm gonna teach you how to play some basketball" Lucas said, grabbing a ball.
"You are?" Brooke groaned.
"Yah…and hopefully you wont suck as bad as Haley" he laughed.
"Hey! Resenting that here!" Brooke said, grabbing the ball and attempting at a free throw. The ball completely missed the basket and landed in the grass behind it. Lucas laughed and ran to get it, shooting the ball from almost the end of the court and making it with a swish.
"That is why we live in a mansion" Brooke giggled. "Your insane superman basketball skills"
"Oh yah" Lucas laughed. "Here you try" Brooke caught the ball and threw it from the side. It made it in after bouncing precariously on the rim.
"Nice shot" Lucas laughed, kissing her. Brooke giggled and stole the ball from him and threw it. Surprisingly, it bounced off the back board and into the basket.
"Guess I'm not that bad after all, huh?" Brooke asked.
"Guess not" Lucas laughed, pulling her into an embrace. "But I don't care if you suck at everything in the world, I love you anyway" Lucas whispered, putting his chin on her head. "I love you, Brooke" he said, looking down and kissing her. "More than you'll ever know"
"Thanks, Lucas…that's good to know" Brooke said, serious for once all day. "It's nice to know you care"
"Of course I care...I'm madly head over heels in love with you and it's been almost 5 years since we've been married. Yet the only thing that's changed is that I love you more and more everyday and the feelings get stronger" Lucas said. Brooke smiled and wrapped her arms around his middle and leaned her head on his chest, hearing his heart beat.
"Do you wanna dance?" he asked.
"There's no music" she laughed.
"I don't care" he said, taking her and twirling her around. "I love dancing with you just the same" he said, pulling her up close and kissing her. She smiled and placed her hands around his neck and leaned her head on his chest again. She smiled to herself as she felt them both move in rhythm to music that wasn't even there.

"Peyton, I'm gonna take Jenny to Nikki's ok?" Jake said. Peyton barely glanced up from her puzzle with Catherine.
"Ok" she replied. "Bye Jenny"
"Bye" Jenny snapped, flouncing out. She had definitely changed since meeting Nikki and seemed to resent Peyton's role in her life. Also, she had become mean and was now wearing thick black eyeliner.
"Why Jenny mean, mommy?" Catherine asked.
"She's mean to you, kitty cat?" Peyton asked suspiciously, recounting the 'little witch' scenario.
"Yah, look" Catherine lifted her shirt to show a dark bruise that look fresh. "She said I was an annoying brat" Catherine whispered in a low voice. Peyton felt anger rise up in her heart, but also tears and sadness for what was suddenly her family life. A bitchy 12 year old, a stressed husband, and her four year old that seemed to hide everything from her.
"Look, Kitty, if she ever does that to you again, call mommy or daddy immediately, ok? Lets get some ice on that bruise" Peyton said, calmly, tears threatening to spill over. Maybe Jenny was going through a hard time, but that was no excuse to hurt a poor little four year old.
"Okays mommy" Catherine smiled, patting the ice pack happily. "I'll tell you" Peyton's heart melted at the unconditional love and blatant forgiveness Catherine had for Jenny. Why couldn't everyone be like that?

"Oops!" Brooke shrieked as she saw the ball plop into the river. Lucas stared in horror at it for 30 seconds and then started laughing harder than he had ever laughed before. Brooke pouted and smacked Lucas.
"Lucas that's not funny!" Brooke yelled. "Poor fish are gonna die because the basketball's gonna knock them unconscious!" Lucas just laughed harder and grabbed Brooke into a hug, but she pushed him away. "Lucas don't laugh!" she cried indignantly. Lucas attempted to stop laughing but it didn't work, so he grabbed her again and started tickling her, getting her to scream at the top of her lungs.
"Lucas Scott let me go this instant" Brooke shrieked, trying to twist free of Lucas's hold. Lucas paid no attention and continued tickling her.
"Lucas, seriously, before I divorce you!" Brooke shrieked.
"Brooke, you need to learn how to air ball the right way if you're gonna air ball at all" Lucas laughed.
"NO, Broody, don't ever mention this again" Brooke said hopelessly, knowing that this was gonna be the topic of conversation for every birthday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas for the next 3 years.
"Haha Brooke, you're NEVER living this down" Lucas laughed, grabbing her around the waist and kissing her.
"I'm not?" Brooke whined.
"Nope" Lucas laughed.
"That's what I thought" Brooke laughed. "Who's ball was that?"
"I don't know but they're gonna wonder where it went"
"You mean it wasn't yours?" Brooke asked in horror.
"No…" Lucas laughed.
"Luke, lets go! They might find us and hunt us down and kill us!" Brooke shrieked, taking Lucas by the hand and dragging him.
"You sound like Madison" Lucas laughed.
"Uh, you mean, Madison sounds like me" Brooke corrected, giggling.
"Would you like to Jacuzzi?"
"Yup" Brooke giggled, as they got out of the car and went behind the house to the Jacuzzi. Brooke, who was wearing her bathing suit underneath, climbed into the hot bubbling Jacuzzi that was a strong contrast to the chilly November air. She settled back against Lucas and sighed.
"You sound depressed, Brooke"
"Not depressed so much as…thoughtful, I guess. I mean Madison, for example. That thing happened so fast, it was so sudden and serious, and then it seemed to pass even faster. Its almost like it never happened but the memory will haunt me forever. And its kinda hard to let Madison be normal and run around and jump into the deep end of the pool off our diving board without worrying constantly, you know?"
"I know…I like don't want her to climb the stairs in fear that she'll slip and fall" Lucas said. "But we cant live our lives looking over our shoulder constantly scared that something'll happen, you know. Caution is good, but too much caution isn't…and she's such a responsible girl and you are definitely a responsible mother"
"You think I'm responsible?" Brooke laughed in disbelief. "That's hardly what I am with Madison"
"Brooke…no. I've seen you, you're always there for her, and you're always willing to pick her up or sing to her or feed her or talk to her and play with her when she wants to and you're always patient during her whiny moods and stuff…of course you're responsible"
"Well I do all that cause she's my baby…" Brooke laughed.
"Yah, exactly...I think you're the best mother she could have. You're not strict, quite the opposite, but you're not like totally hands off like your parents were…I think you're the perfect mother" Lucas said, leaning in to kiss Brooke. Brooke giggled and kissed him back.
"You're awesome Broody"
"You're not so bad yourself, Cheery"
A/N: Another short cheesy chapter lol…Ok the story probably has like uh 5 or 6 more chapters left…so you'll see what it ends with, I gave it a lot of thought and I have it well planned out and knowing me, you can conclude that its gonna be cheesy as hell but who says fairytales cant come true, right? Lol ok well read…review! You know how much I love those lol!
