AN2- I've decided to pick up more with the Peyton/Jake storyline too. I feel bad for neglecting them, but don't worry; there will be tons of Brooke/Lucas in this chapter too!

Brooke got out of her powder-blue bug and started to walk up to her big red door. All she really wanted was to go to bed. These past couple of days had been so emotionally draining and she was absolutely exhausted. She looked up towards her porch from her place on the walkway and stopped in her tracks. The person that had been sitting on the steps got up slowly and made their way towards Brooke. Huge tears welled up in her hazel eyes and she looked towards the ground. She felt the person stop about 3 feet away from her and looked up to meet their cold, dark brown eyes. She couldn't see him right now, not with everything that was going on, not ever. She knew that even if she never saw him again, part of him would always be with her- their child.

"Hello Brooke." Felix said, in the nicest voice that Brooke had ever heard come out of him in the few months that she had known him.

"Wha… What are you doing here?" She asked coldly. She looked away from him.

Felix's eyes flashed in pain. He had known that he had screwed up pretty badly with the whole 'dyke' thing, and he knew that he had hurt Brooke pretty badly in the process, but he didn't think that she would still be this angry. "Uh…" He said in an unsure, vulnerable voice. This was certainly a side of Felix that Brooke had never seen. "I… I'm home on a short break from military school, and I wanted to see you, Brooke. I… I missed you. I know I screwed up, but I really did miss you. I wanted you to know that I'm really sorry."

Brooke looked up and him and simply laughed. "You have got to be kidding me, Felix. What, are we on some dumb reality show, Dumbest Apologies in America? You have really got to do a lot better than that to get back with me, but you know what? It doesn't matter anymore." Brooke started to scream at him. "As far as I'm concerned, you're dead to me. So I would really appreciate it if you just left me the hell alone."

"Brooke, please, just hear me out, we can go grab a cup of coffee and talk."

"I can't have coffee, and thank you for freaking reminding me!" Brooke screamed in frustration, not even realizing what she had just said. At that moment, she felt like she was going to throw up, wait no, she didn't just feel like it, she knew she was. She silently cursed morning sickness as she began to gag. She ran over towards the grass in her yard and emptied the contents of her stomach out on her lawn.

"Geez, girl, that's pretty freakin' nasty." Felix said jokingly.

"FELIX!" Brooke was really pissed now, "You better get off my property before I kick your ass."

"Actually, I'll do it for you Brooke." A voice behind her said. She turned around to see Lucas standing there. Fire was burning through his eyes and it was directed towards Felix. "Felix, you heard what she said. Get the hell outta her before I kick you ass."

Felix laughed as he started back towards his house. He turned around once he was in his front lawn and said, "Jesus Lucas. You're still not good enough to be with Brooke, but you still act like her little lap dog. It's like you two are together, you're just not getting the great benefits of a relationship with Brooke Davis that is unless, you're gettin' freaky with him too?" This time, the question was directed towards Brooke.

"THAT'S IT!" Lucas screamed as he started running towards Felix.

He stopped when he heard a small voice behind him say "Please, Luke, just help me inside."

Lucas looked back at the brunette behind him and cautiously made his way towards her. He wrapped a protective arm around her and helped to the red door that led into her house.

Small tears escaped Peyton's green eyes as she looked through the glass window into Jake's loving brown eyes.

"Peyton, please, don't cry." Jake's voice was laced with concern as he looked at the only girl he had ever really loved.

"Jake!" Peyton raised her voice slightly, as her tears began to flow more freely. "You just told me that you don't want me to see you anymore, and now you expect me not to cry? What the hell? Jake, I'm in love with you. Don't you understand that? I'm going to be here no matter what when you get out. I love you and Jenny so much and without both of you, nothing in my life matters." She placed her hand on the glass, hoping he would return the only gesture of love she was able to give.

Jake placed his hand against the other side of the glass from Peyton's. Tears welled up in his brown eyes. "Peyton." His voice cracked as he said her name. "Please don't do this. I love you so much. I'm doing this for you. You need to have a life. I'm holding you down. Don't you understand? I don't want you to put your life on hold for me." He paused briefly and looked into her green eyes. "I guess I'm being selfish Peyton." He said honestly. "I don't want you blame me someday for holding you down. I never want you to look back and hate me."

"Jake, I could never hate you. I love you, that's why I want to see you no matter what. I want to be able to come talk to you, even if you are in here. I need to be able to come see you. Please don't do this to me. Please, please, don't push me away. I want to be here when you get out of here and when you get Jenny back." Peyton's green eyes silently pleaded with Jake's brown ones.

Jake sighed, and then laughed. Peyton looked up and smiled genuinely. She had missed his laugh. It seemed to her that everything had been so dramatic lately, but once she heard his laugh again, suddenly everything looked a whole lot better. It was incredible that something so simple could make all the crappy stuff that had been going on, look so much better.

"Alright. Since you obviously aren't going away, I guess I can't push you." Jake said jokingly and with a large grin plastered on his face.

Peyton laughed for the first time in weeks. "I thought you'd see it my way." She said seductively with a wink. She looked down at her watch and realized that it was almost time for her to leave. She looked up at Jake and smiled sadly. "It's time for me to go, before they kick me out. I'll come back later this week. I love you." He smiled at her and she just stared at him for a moment, mentally taking a picture of that smile. She absolutely adored that smile.

"I love you too, Peyt." Jake looked at her smile for a moment before she got up to leave. She reached the door and turned back. She reached her hand to her mouth and blew a kiss to Jake. He returned the gesture and smiled.

"Bye Jake." She said quickly.

Brooke's eyes opened and looked at the clock, it read 8:25. 'P.M?' Brooke asked herself. She slowly crept out of bed and looked around her room. Her eyes fell upon the chair in the corner of her room. Well, not so much the chair, but the boy in it- Lucas Scott. She smiled to herself. He was snoring softly. She went over to him, sat on the arm of the cushioned chair and pressed her lips to his forehead. She went to turn around, but once she did, she felt an arm come around her waist. She looked at him. His blue eyes looked sleepy, but they were sparkling, something she noticed they used to do while they were still dating.

"Hey Broody." She said quietly while she repositioned herself on the arm of the chair, close enough to him so she could whisper, yet far enough that it wasn't too awkward.

"Hey." He whispered back in a husky, sleep-filled, yet terribly sexy voice that sent a shiver up Brooke's spine.

"I was about to go downstairs to find something to eat. Want me to bring you something?"

"I'll just go with you." He replied quickly with a smile.

"Alright." She started to get up, but she was too lazy, so she mentally decided that they could talk up in her room for a little while longer. "Hey Luke?"

"Yeah?"

"Thank you."

"For what?" He asked charmingly.

"Being there, Helping out with Felix and not hating me completely." She said the last part quietly.

Lucas eyes widened when he heard the last part of her response. "Brooke." He said concerned, "Why would you think that I would hate you?"

"I… I don't know. I mean I know that you thought it was kind of weird when I told you."

"No… No… It wasn't Brooke." He said, lying through his teeth.

"Luke, I know you way better than that. It was weird when I told you. I felt that and I know that you did too."

"How did you know that?" He asked, interested in just how well she still knew him.

"It… It was in your eyes." She said shyly. She was slightly embarrassed that even after all these months; he still had this effect on her.

"Oh." That was the only word that could come out of his mouth. He didn't want to make this moment worse, but he always didn't want his arms to leave her waist either.

"Uh… Luke?"

"Yeah." He said quickly as she pulled him out of his 'Brooke Trance'.

"Will you… I mean I don't…" Brooke sighed in frustration, then tried once again. "Lucas, will you stay with me tonight. I just…I can't be alone right now." His face looked shocked as she asked him. She quickly proceeded to freak out. "Oh my god… uh… never mind."

"No, Brooke, it's fine. Let me just call Dan and tell him I'm staying with Nate or something. Okay?"

"Thanks Luke." She said quietly as he got up to go call his father.

After about 5 minutes, Lucas came back into Brooke's room to find her cuddled in her bed with her IPOD. She was obviously listening to something loud and upbeat because she was dancing in her seat. He laughed at the scene. Her chestnut brown hair was put up in a messy ponytail and she was in a black tank top and grey sweats. Her makeup was smudged from her crying earlier in the night, yet she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Brooke turned around to see him staring at her in the doorway.

"Hey Luke." She said, once again, taking out of his trance.

"Hey. I just talked to Dan." He held up his cell phone as he spoke, " I'm staying at Nate's for the night. I called Nate to tell him that too, in case Dan grew a brain and called for some reason." Brooke laughed at the comment. "So, I'll just be over here, if you need me" Lucas said, pointing to the small chair in the corner of the room that the two had been sitting on moments earlier.

"Lucas, don't be dumb." Brooke said from under the covers, while she patted the right side of her bed, welcoming him to join her.

"Oh, okay. Let me just go to the bathroom, I'll be back."

A few minutes later, Lucas returned from the bathroom, now clad in boxers and his undershirt. Brooke looked up as he entered the room and shyly admired his body. He entered her bed slowly, acting as if he had never done it before. Once he was under the covers, he turned his back to Brooke, but felt a hand on his back and turned around to face her. His face was silently questioning her.

She looked up at him, tears flooding down her face and cried quietly, "Will you just hold me, Luke?"

He nodded quickly then let his arms engulf her petite body. She settled her head into the crook of his neck, which used to always be her favorite spot. His arms settled around her waist and he held her close to him. She rested one arm around his waist, then rested her other hand against his chest. It felt so right to be back in his arms again.

That night, both Brooke and Lucas slept peacefully, just holding each other throughout the entire night.
