I still own nothing…but I wish I did.
Chapter 17 The Truth Comes Out
"You did what?" Kate asked in shock.
"We got married." Brooke said
"I can't believe you did that." Haley said when Lucas was talking to her in the other room.
"What you and Nathan did it without so much as a word to anyone." Lucas said
"And why didn't you call me?" Kate asked
"It was spur of the moment." Brooke explained
"Well as long as you're happy then I'm happy for you." Haley said
"Good because I am extremely happy." Lucas said
Brooke sighed when she got off the phone. "Kate is a very tiring person." Brooke said
Lucas laughed. "I'm sorry. She didn't take it well?"
"Oh no she's excited, but is upset that I didn't tell her before."
Lucas laughed "Yeah Haley was the same way."
Brooke sat up and kissed him. "Are you happy that we did this?" she asked
"Of course. Aren't you?" he asked
"Yes I was just making sure that you didn't change your mind about marrying me. You get an instant family you know."
Lucas stroked her cheek. "Brooke I love Leila. The three of us will be a happy family." He kissed her.
"Have you told your mom yet?" Brooke asked later
"No I called but she wasn't in."
"Well call her. I want Karen to know"
Lucas picked up his cell phone and dialed, then put it on speaker so Brooke could hear
"Hello." Karen said
"Hi mom."
"Oh Lucas honey how are you?"
"I'm good. Listen I have some news."
"Ok what is it?" she asked
"Well Brooke and I got married last night."
"You what?" Karen asked in shock
"We got married Mom."
"Oh Lucas that's wonderful. You and Brooke belong together. When are you going home?" she asked
"Tomorrow."
"Ok great, I can be in LA in a couple of days, we can start planning a wedding."
"Whoa Mom calm down, we'll talk about this later." Lucas said
"Ok well I love you."
"You too Mom bye." He hung up. "See I told you she'd be excited." He said to Brooke
"You were right. I think Karen's right, we should have a wedding once we get home."
Lucas kissed her neck. "Whatever you want." He said in between kisses.
"Ok when I said I wanted to move in with you, I assumed that you were going to help me move my stuff in." Lucas said carrying in yet another box.
Brooke laughed while holding Leila. "Well you know what they say about people who assume."
Lucas rolled his eyes as he put the box down. "That's the last box." He said
"Good." Brooke kissed him. "Moving makes me hungry."
"Let's go get some lunch."
"I'm glad you're here Broody." Brooke said
"Me too Cheery." He kissed her cheek.
That night Brooke was laying in Lucas' arms as he was rubbing her back.
"What are you thinking?" he asked, regretting it the minute it came out of his mouth. What was going through Brooke's mind was never a good subject for late night conversation.
Brooke lifted her up off his chest. "I want to move."
Lucas gave her a strange look. "What?"
"Move into our own place. Start our new life together there. This was the house that Travis and I bought together to have our family. It doesn't seem right for you and I to start our life together here."
Lucas brushed the hair off her face. "Well we can start looking for places tomorrow."
Brooke smiled. "Have I told you how much I love you?"
"Not recently." Brooke passionately kissed him. Lucas pulled away. "But you couldn't have thought about this before I moved all my stuff in?" he asked jokingly. Brooke rolled her eyes and they both laughed.
See it's longer like I promised
