Chapter Thirteen

Lucas and Brooke sat in front Mr. Jenson, the person who Nikki had given Isabelle to so they could put her up for adoption. They were nervously awaiting him to come back with Isabelle's file.

"What if they don't let us have Isabelle?" Lucas asked Brooke.

Brooke laid a hand on Lucas's shoulder reassuringly.

"We'll get her, even if we have to fight for her," Brooke assured him, "Here maybe I should go call a lawyer."

"But I don't have the money for one," Lucas said, "and neither does my mom."

"Don't worry about it."

Brooke left the room to use her cell phone. A couple minutes later Mr. Jenson came back in and sat down behind his desk. He opened up the file.

"She's been adopted already," Mr. Jenson told Lucas.

"Then un-adopt her," Lucas exclaimed.

"It's not that simple Mr. Scott," Mr. Jenson apologized, "I'm sorry there is nothing i can do."

Lucas stood up.

"I'll make it simple. You go to the people you gave her to and get her back," Lucas said as calmly as he could.

Just then Broke walked in.

"I can't do that," Mr. Jenson said.

Lucas turned to Brooke.

"Did you get the lawyer?" Lucas asked.

Brooke nodded. Lucas turned back to Mr. Jenson.

"You'll be hearing from our lawyer," Lucas said before storming out of the office followed by Brooke.

When they got to the car Brooke got in the drivers side. She didn't trust Lucas in the drivers seat when he was this mad.

"So who's this lawyer you got?" Lucas asked when they were on the road.

"Jack Mattera."

Lucas nodded. Then he remembered that he had actually looked at him when he was looking for a lawyer for incase they needed one.

"But he's the best. He's really expensive. We'll never be able to afford him," Lucas stated.

"Don't worry about. I called my Dad. He said that Jack owed him a favor anyway," Brooke explained.

"But I thought that you weren't speaking to your father?" Lucas asked.

Brooke shrugged.

"I did what I had to do," Brooke said, "Oh and we have to go to dinner over there. My Dad wants to celebrate our engagement."

"Alright."

They pulled into Peyton's drive way. Lucas and Brooke got out of the car and headed into the house. They found Peyton and Jake in the kitchen. Peyton was making dinner.

"Hey guys. How was the meeting?" Jake asked.

"Not to good. We just had to hire a lawyer," replied Lucas.

"I'm sorry man," Jake said.

"Sorry Lucas," Peyton said.

"It's okay," Lucas said, "We'll make it."

"Wanna join us for dinner?" Peyton asked.

Lucas was glad for a conversation change.

"Sure."

Lucas and Jake went into the living room to watch the game while Brooke stayed in the kitchen. When Peyton was sure that Lucas was out of ear shot she turned to Brooke.

"How is he really holding up?"

"Not to good," replied Brooke, "This is killing him."

Peyton sighed.

"Wish their was something I could do," Peyton said.

"Just being their for him in enough."
