When Brooke got out of the living room, she felt tears coming down her face. In a way, she had always wished for this day, but she could feel that something wasn't right. She just hoped whatever she had felt was wrong, but when she answered the door, that hope flew out the window.

"Can I help you," she asked, hoping that the person with her back towards Brooke wasn't who she thought she was.

"Yeah, is Jake here," the person asked, finally turning around. The girl's eyes went wide when she saw Brooke.

"Brooke," she whispered, scared.

"Nicki," Brooke said bitterly, at the girl, she hadn't seen in three years, not that she really cared.

"What the hell are you doing here," Brooke asked stepping out on the front porch where Nicki was.

"Look, I came to get my daughter. Jake has had her long enough. She needs her mother, everyone needs a mother," Nicki told Brooke.

"Yeah, because if they don't have a mother, they end up fucked up like you….just, please…please, tell me you didn't abandon her," Brooke said. Nicki just looked down with shame.

"I left her with Jake at the hospital. Look, I didn't know what else to do. I was scared. Please Brookie, make him understand," Nicki pleaded.

"You know that's a bunch of bullshit. You need to get the fuck out of here. You left her with her father, so leave them the hell alone, now. She doesn't need you coming into her life and fucking it up like you are right now. Oh and you mess with them, I promise the court will find out all the shit you did after you left," Brooke said moving towards the door and walking in the house. Once she shut the door, she leaned up against in and slid down the door, sitting down, crying.

"Tigger, where are you," Lucas asked as he walked towards the front door. When he saw Brooke, he rushed to her side, and held her. Finally picked her up and took her into the living room, where everyone looked on concerned. Lucas just sat down with her in his lap, and held onto her. Finally she calmed down, looked at Lucas, who reached up and wiped her eyes, and snuggled into him, sobbing once again.
