Authors Note: Sorry for the lack of updates lately. School and real life got in the way and I had massive writers block. I think I'm back into this though so let me know what you think. I also have a Naley story called "Eggs Over Easy" I'm working on. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed so far. Also, let me know if you guys are interested in reading how Nathan and Haley ended up married. That story has been floating around in my head for a while now. Thanks again!

Chapter 13

Lucas got to Nathan's house and went in search of Brooke. He found her in the pool lying on a raft. She had told him once that lying in a pool was the most calming thing in the world to her.

"hey." He called out. Brooke lifted up her head and started paddling towards the side. Luke couldn't help but notice how good she looked in her bathing suit. Any guy who said Brooke didn't have a nice body was lying.

"Hey, how was the game?" Lucas shrugged his shoulders. "That good huh?"

"I couldn't concentrate. I sat a lot of the game out. Coach was not happy with me, but he understood I guess."

"So Nathan won?" He nodded his head. "Crap. Now we have to hear him gloat."

"Actually probably not. I think he knows not to mess with me tonight."

"Gotcha." The two sat in silence looking at the night sky. "Come swimming, it feels so good. Haley and I figured out how to heat it and nothing clears my head better than just lying in the water."

"No suit." Brooke laughed and told him to get one from Nathan. Reluctantly Lucas agreed and went in search of his brother to borrow a suit. He found him with Haley trying to get Jason to go to sleep.

"Dad tell Nathan and Haley I don't want to go to sleep. I want to keep playing playstation. Uncle Nathan has much better games than you." Lucas rolled his eyes.

"Sorry buddy you have to go to bed we have a big day tomorrow. We're going to go to Disneyland." Jason's eyes lit up at the mention.

"No kidding. Okay I'll go to sleep. Is everyone going?"

"Yep. You, me, Francis, Brooke, Nathan, and Haley. The whole gang."

"Awesome." They all gave Jason one last hug and then left the room. Lucas would be back in there later to share the bed while Francis and Brooke shared a room.

"Hey Nate can I borrow a swimsuit? I'm going to go swimming with Brooke." Nathan said yes and told him to follow him. They entered his bedroom and Lucas laid down on the bed.

"You doing okay man? You know I'm here for you."

"I don't know. This is all so crazy. I never thought she'd come back. The worse part is I have no idea what she wants. Does she want money, Francis, what? And I'm letting her influence my game again."

"Don't know what to tell you man. All I can say is I'm here for you. If you need anything just let me know."

"Enough about me, what about you? You and Haley got married? Dan is going to flip when he finds out." Nathan threw a spare swimsuit at Lucas.

"Yeah, crazy huh? I can't even describe it man, she's everything I've ever wanted in a girl. She's smart, funny, sweet, the best kisser, nice, supportive, she's the best thing that's ever happened to me. We were close to Vegas and the idea just came to me. I know we've only known each other a few weeks, but she gets me man. I feel like I can tell her anything and she gets it. I don't ever want to be away from her. Yeah Dan'll be pissed but he'll have to deal with it. I'm 25 not twelve."

"Good to hear. Well I'm happy for you. I better go though, give you and your bride some time alone. Brooke and I have a lot to talk about."

"K, I'll see you tomorrow. I'm actually kind of excited about Disneyland. For the first time in my life I'm really happy." Lucas smiled at his brother. You could tell on his face that he was.

"I think they're going to last." Brooke looked up from her spot in the pool.

"Who?"

"Nathan and Haley. I was just in there talking to him and he's giddy. I've never seen him like this over a girl before." Brooke smiled and watched Lucas get in the pool. She had never seen him remotely naked before and appreciated the sight in front of her.

"Yeah. She seems really happy. She told me they're going to go buy a new house. She's so excited. Apparently Nathan's been spending all this money on her. That's never happened to her before. If he ever hurts her though, I'll have to kill him." Lucas swam over to her and hung off her raft.

"Same goes to her." They floated in the pool for a while.

"So what happens next?"

"I don't know. We wait to see what Lisa wants. I talked to my lawyer and gave him a heads up. The locks have already been changed and everything. Nancy will meet you when you get back with the keys."

"Do we have to go back? Can't we stay here with Haley and Nathan? She's the best mom ever. She'll make us breakfast tomorrow and cleans up after us. I think we should just stay here forever." Lucas laughed.

"I wish it was that easy. Unfortunately Jason has school."

"It's only kindergarten."

"Are you scared to face Lisa?"

"I'm just scared she's going to take the kids. She's evil. I could sense it."

"Well at least Jason is safe." Brooke looked at Luke strangely.

"What do you mean Jason is safe?"

"I never told you?" Brooke shook her head no. "Oh man. Well Lisa isn't Jason's mom."

"Excuse me? Who is then? Did you not think this was important information?"

"I don't know. Peyton, my ex-girlfriend, is his mom."

"They look exactly alike though."

"That's because Lisa is Peyton's twin sister."
