"That would be me" Felix said, plopping down next to her.
"What are you doing here?" Brooke asked.
"I'm here on vacation with Anna and our parents" Felix said. He had obviously changed a lot since their last encounter. His clothes weren't flashy, his hair was combed and he was sporting glasses.
"Oh…I'm here with Lucas" Brooke said.
"Honeymoon?" Felix joked.
"Just a trip" Brooke said, wiping her tears.
"What's the matter?" Felix asked.
"We just had an argument"
"Oh" Felix nodded. "I see…so what's new with you?"
"I'm pregnant" Brooke said with a little sarcastic laugh. "And Lucas basically said he didn't want the baby"
"I'm sure he didn't say that" Felix said. "And…wow"
"Yeah…and wow right back at you…why aren't you insulting Lucas right and left?" Brooke asked.
"Because…I don't know. He was like a speck in my life" Felix laughed. "I've forgotten Tree Hill"
"Did you forget me?" Brooke teased.
"Never" Felix laughed. "I would never forget you"
"Aw" Brooke laughed. "So do you like France?"
"Yeah, actually, we're thinking about moving here"
"You and your family?"
"No…my wife and I"
Meanwhile…
"It's Christmas Eve!" Haley sang, dancing around with her niece.
"It's Christmas Eve!" three year old Lilly James sang.
"Yes, Miss Lilly come over here so I can brush your hair" Cordelia, Haley's sister in law, said.
"Can Auntie Haley brush my hair?"
"Of course" Cordelia said, tossing the brush to Haley, who tickled Lilly and plopped her down on her lap.
"Uncle Nathan!" Lilly giggled when he came in. She was the first niece/grandchild of the James' family and was thoroughly spoiled.
"Silly Lilly" Nathan laughed. "Hi!"
"Hi!" Lilly giggled. "Guess what?"
"What?"
"It's Christmas Eve!"
"That it is" Nathan said, shooting a glance at Haley and making her blush. They had a Christmas Eve ritual. It involved a lot of whipped cream.
"Your wife?" Brooke asked, surprised.
"Yep" Felix said. "She's here, too"
"Oh…what's her name?"
"Amanda"
"Oh…" Brooke said. "When did you guys get married?"
"Last week, this is actually our honeymoon"
"Oh…well, I suppose congratulations are in order"
"Yeah…I met her while I was working"
"Oh…well, I wish you guys best of luck" Brooke said.
"Lucas will be worried" Felix said. "And I should go back to Amanda"
"Yeah…well…it was nice seeing you" Brooke said.
"Definitely" Felix said, giving her a hug. "See you around?"
"Maybe, if I come back and visit France" Brooke giggled.
"Yeah" Felix laughed. "Brooke?"
"Yeah?"
"Good luck with the…baby and everything"
"Thanks" Brooke smiled as he left the roof top. She sighed and leaned her head back against the wall and replayed her and Lucas's argument. She realized she had sounded completely unreasonable. He had never said he didn't want the baby, and what sane person wished for a baby at 18? Guilt started to creep over her as she realized she might have ruined their vacation.
"Oh my god! Brooke! There you are I was so worried!" Lucas said, bursting through the door leading to the roof.
Brooke stood up quickly and ran over to hug him. "Lucas, I'm sorry I know I was being unreasonable"
"No I was being an ass" Lucas said, hugging her tighter. "I'm so sorry, Brooke, I don't want to ruin our vacation"
"I know" Brooke said. "I'm really sorry, Luke, I was seriously overreacting"
"It's ok" Lucas whispered, kissing her softly.
"I'm just scared" Brooke said, the waterworks starting. "I'm scared of the future, I'm scared that you're going to leave me and this trip just made me realize even more how much I love you and I don't want to lose you, Lucas"
"Whoa, whoa, why would you ever think that I'm going to leave you?" Lucas said. "Brooke, I will ALWAYS be here for you and the baby, you know that"
"How…why?" Brooke sobbed. "I just don't want this to be happening"
"Yeah but we can't change it, can we?"
"No" Brooke pouted.
"Brooke you'll be fine" Lucas said, pulling her close and resting his chin on top of her head.
"How do you know that?"
"Because I'll be there with you every step of the way"
"Promise?"
"Promise"
A/N: Reviews would be nice!
