Things had been going extremely well for Brooke and Lucas which had Brooke scared to death, it seemed when things were really good is when something bad would happen. Lucas sitting in his room with his stereo on listening to a little less sixteen candles, a lot more touch me by Fall Out Boy when his mother entered the room.

"Hey Lucas can we talk for a second?" his mom asked.

"Yeah mom what's going on?" he answered.

"I've been doing a lot of thinking and I think I know what has put so much strain on your relationship with Brooke" she said.

"What would that be?" he asked.

"I think you two should live together" she replied.

"Ok first off who are you and what did you do with my mother? And second it's not like we can I mean Brooke's parents don't like the engaged idea already" he said.

"Actually I just talked to her parents and they hesitantly agreed however it won't be here or at her house" she said.

"Then where will it be you know neither one of us have the time to work to make the money we would need for a place of our own" he replied.

"Brooke's parents and I are taking care of that we just think you two need to be together under one roof to make this work at this point" she said. Lucas was shocked this is definitely not what he ever expected from his mother in a million years. "So does Brooke know yet?"

"I suspect she will be getting a call from her parents tonight" she replied.

"I should go over there knowing Brooke even with it being good news she may not handle it well coming from them" he said getting up and exiting the house. Brooke was lying on her bed fiddling with her ring something she had found herself doing a lot lately when someone knocked on her door.

"Can I come in?" Lucas asked.

"Of course broody I'm just a little surprised normally you call first" she replied. Before he could answer Brooke's phone rang as she picked it up he sat behind her wrapping his arms around her, and she laid back into him.

"Hello?" she said.

"Brooke dear it's your mother" Her mother replied.

"Oh joy" Brooke replied sarcastically. "What do I owe this pleasure?"

"Well your father and I have been talking to Ms. Roe and we have decided that even though we disagree with your engagement we think it needs to work, therefore you and Lucas will be getting your own apartment funded by us and his mother" she replied. Brooke was in shock not only were her parents doing something nice for her, but they were doing something nice to help something they disagreed with. After hanging up with her mother she turned back to Lucas.

"Did you know about this?" she asked.

"My mom told me earlier today that's why I just showed up I figured you would need someone" he replied.

"Lucas that was so sweet I love you" she said kissing him.

"Anything for you cheery" he said as they pulled away. "It looks like we're going apartment shopping soon"

"Yeah bur….my mother also mentioned something else" she answered.

"What's that?" he asked.

"She said they were sending me papers, permission to get married papers" she said her eyes brimming with tears.

"Wow I never saw that one coming" he said wiping away her tears.

"I think we should get married next month Luke, over Christmas break" she said.

"I agree let me talk to my mom" he said getting up.

"Where you going broody?" she asked.

"Well it is getting late I thought maybe you would want time to yourself" he answered.

"Never Lucas please stay and hold me" she said.

"Ok cheery anything for you" he said lying on her bed and pulling her close. They stayed like that all night just talking.

The next day they met Karen at the café. They all wanted to get this apartment hunt over with. They were out all day looking but had found nothing to there liking (actually more like Brooke's liking). They were about to give up when they saw one and decided to check it out.

"This one looks good" Karen said.

"I like it" Luke agreed. "Brooke what about you" he asked pleading within his head she did.

"I love it" she exclaimed as she walked around it. Lucas gave a huge sigh of relief, he had begun to think she would impossible to please. After they had paid there deposit and signed all the papers involved they Lucas and Brooke headed back to his house while his mom headed to the café.

"I never thought we would get done, that was tiring" Lucas said falling on his bed.

"I'm sorry Luke I know I was the reason it took so long" Brooke said.

"It's no big deal cheery anything to make you happy" he replied pulling her down on the bed with her.

"Luke?" Brooke asked.

"Yes Brooke?" he answered.

"Do you think we'll be ok?" she said.

"Of course we'll be ok" he answered pulling her close. "We love each other and everyone is behind us"

"I'm just worried we'll forget" she said.

"Forget what?" he asked.

"Forget why we love each other" she replied.

"Brooke I could never forget ever why I love you" he said pulling her into a deep kiss. "After all we've been through I know if we can make it through that we can make it through anything" Brooke smiled no one had ever made her feel as good as Lucas did, she was petrified she was going to do something to screw it up.

"Lucas I'm scared" she said.

"Why? Of what?" he asked.

"I'm afraid I'm going to do something to annoy you so bad you won't love me anymore" she replied Lucas could see the tears welling up in her eyes.

"Brooke there is no possible way that I could ever stop loving you" he said wiping her tears away and kissing her.

"Broody you're too good for me" she said smiling.

"I feel the same about you cheery" he said pulling her close. "So you and my mom are going to pick up furniture tomorrow huh?"

"Yeah I'm so excited to Luke, are you sure you don't want to come?" she asked she really wanted him to go but she didn't want to force him.

"Only if you want me too" he replied.

"If you don't want to go you don't have to" she said.

Taking her face in his hands he spoke. "Brooke if you want me to go of course I'll go we're in this together remember?"

"I know…but I know you also and I know this isn't something you particularly enjoy" she replied.

"That's it I know you want me to go and I'm going for you" he said "Now let's rest" he said and pulled her with him as he laid back.
