I still own nothing…but I wish I did

Chapter 20: One Big Happy Family

One Year Later Leila is now 2 and a 3 month old boy named Zachary.

Brooke was asleep when she felt someone breathing on her cheek. Brooke knew that it was Leila. "Mommy gets up." She finally said

"Leila go back to bed." Brooke said without opening her eyes. She heard Leila walk away.

Lucas felt a tapping on his shoulder. "What baby girl?" he asked

"Gets up." She said again.

Lucas looked at the clock. 5:48 am. "Leila its early go back to bed."

"No, gets up Daddy."

"Come sleep with me and mommy." He said

"No Daddy it my buwthday." She said innocently Brooke rolled over.

"You're right baby it is your birthday. You're two today. But its early so come sleep with us." Leila shook her head and ran off.

Brooke sighed and rested her head on Lucas' chest. Lucas kissed her head.

"Have I told you how happy I am?" he asked

"Not today." She said

"I am Brooke you, Leila, and Zack are my life." Before Brooke could respond they both heard Zack's cries.

Lucas sighed as they got out of bed. "What do you want to bet that Leila woke him up?"

"You know she did." When they went into Zack's room they both saw that Leila was sitting by his crib.

Lucas picked her up and Brooke got Zack, "And so the day begins." He said as they went downstairs.

"So birthday girl what do you want for breakfast?" Brooke asked

"Eggs." Leila said

"I can do that." Brooke said

After breakfast Brooke gave both kids a bath and got them dressed. As she was getting Leila dressed Lucas came in.

"Hey babe, I have something I need to go pick up for the birthday girl. I should be back in an hour."

"Ok, but where are you going?" Brooke asked

"You'll see." He said leaving the room.

"Lucas that's not funny. Lucas Eugene Scott." She said before she heard the front door close.

Lucas stuck his head in the front door and saw that Zack was in his swing while Leila was watching a video and Brooke was working at her desk.

"Hey I have a present for the birthday girl." He said Leila ran towards him.

"Where did you go?" Brooke asked picking up Zack.

"I was thinking last night of something I always wanted as a kid, and I thought Leila would love it too."

Brooke looked confused "What exactly are you talking about?" she asked

Lucas came in carrying a chocolate Labrador puppy and put it on the ground for Leila to see.

Leila's eyes lit up and she giggled. "Puppy." She said

"Yeah baby its for you." Lucas said

"Lucas you bought her a dog?" Brooke asked

"Yeah. Every kid should have a pet. You and I both talked about having a dog."

"I know, but you just want to spoil her." Brooke said

"Oh and you don't? Besides look at her." Lucas said pointing towards Leila who was rolling around on the floor with the dog.

"Puppy woof, woof." Leila said giggling.

"How can I say no to that?" Brooke asked already knowing that she couldn't.

That night Lucas was rocking Zack to sleep when Brooke came in after putting Leila to bed.

"Is the birthday girl asleep?" he asked

"Yes along with the dog who is in her bed."

Lucas laughed "Well she loves him." He put Zack into his crib and the two walked out.

"We have great kids you know." Brooke said

Lucas kissed her "Of course we do, they're ours." Lucas retorted.

"Well Broody I think that we should try and have another perfect kid." Brooke said and then kissed him.

"I'm up for that." Lucas said.
