Chapter Twenty: Love

It had been three days since Lucas had gotten Devin back and Rachel still hadn't been found, Lucas was worried that he'd made a mistake…maybe he should've told the police who she was when he had gotten Devin.

"Broody whatcha thinking about?" Brooke asked walking into the bedroom after her shower, she was hoping that this baby would stay in for a good long time.

Lucas grabbed her hand and pulled her close, "How much I love you, how about you lay down on your side and I'll give you one hell of a massage?" He said smiling.

"How could I resist that." Brooke said smiling while she dropped the towel and laid down on her side, "I would kill to lay on my stomach." She moaned in pleasure as Lucas laid down beside her and began rubbing her back. "You do that so well…oh my gosh do you know how long it's been since we've had sex?"

"Believe me…I know very very well, but we've had a lot of stuff going on." He said kissing her shoulders as he rubbed, "Trust me as soon as the doc gives the okay we're going to make up for lost time."

Brooke laughed, "Good because it's true that pregnant women are very horny." Lucas laughed, she was so beautiful carrying his child and when she wasn't. "This is probably not the time to mention this but…I really miss the boys."

"I miss 'em too baby, but I bet they're having a great time with mom and Keith." He said as she turned around to face him, "You know that we haven't a vacation without the munchkins since they were born…I think that after this little girl is born you and I should go off somewhere just us."

Brooke was trying to think of other things beside her naked body laying against him and his rubbing her belly. "That would be great…but I don't know if I could leave her…she'll be so small."

"Baby I don't mean leave a week after she's born more like when she's 8 or 9 months old or even a year, sometime when she won't need us so much and mom would love staying with them and she'd take great care of them." Lucas said smiling as he felt his daughter move.

"Well then it sounds like a great idea, somewhere on the beach…just the two of us as soon as I fit back into my bikini's." She said kissing him gently, "You're hands are wonderful."

Lucas smiled and held her close to him, "You better get dressed if you want to go to the hospital and we're having dinner with Jake and Peyton."

"Oh alright but you've got to help me up." She said smiling, knowing that she really wasn't that big, she'd only gained 20 pounds unlike the fifty with the boys, but she'd lost that quickly.

He helped her up and even helped with her panties, he smiled seeing her jeans and custom t-shirt, the t-shirt said "My Family" on the front and on the back was a picture of him, the boys, and Tammy's last sonogram picture.

Brooke was quiet during the walk to the hospital, "Hey what's wrong?" He asked kissing the hand he was holding.

"I was just thinking, between me, Peyton, and Haley none of us have had a normal birth and what if…what if something goes wrong when Tammy comes?" Brooke asked trying to keep the tears out of her voice.

Lucas wrapped his arms around her, "It's going to be okay baby, the check-up went perfectly and the doc said that the baby was perfectly healthy and she's already 3 pounds."

"I know that you're right." She said walking through the doors of the hospital. She saw Haley walking through the halls with Jamie. "Hales and tutor baby 2!" She said running up to her.

"Hey Brooke, the doctor said he can go home but… I don't want to leave the others so Nate's gone to get his portable crib to put in my room and guess what?" She said smiling rubbing Jamie's back.

"What?" Brooke asked touching the baby's little hand, she couldn't wait to hold a new born in her arms.

Haley sat down as Lucas went to help Nathan set up the crib in Haley's room, "Well last night all these alarms started going off in the NICU and of course I was flipping out well Devin's fever broke and she's going to be fine! But she'll have to stay in here a little while longer, but Ryan's alarms started going off too and ya know what?"

Again Brooke asked, "Well he's over six pounds and his heart and lungs are strong and healthy and he's been checked out too so he's also getting moved into my room but still in his hospital bed until he's a little bigger…he's getting a bath right now but then I can hold him…oh Brooke two of my babies are okay!" Haley said wiping happy tears from her eyes.

Brooke smiled, "That's great Hales…now let me hold this little guy because you're about to have your hands full… here comes baby Ryan."

It was the first Haley had been able to hold him, he was a little smaller than his brother but still strong, "Oh my gosh…I've dreamt about this for so long." She breathed in his sweet baby smell, "Soon you're daddy will be back and we'll get to dress you both in cute clothes and soon we'll go home with you're sisters." She looked up at Brooke who was holding a sleeping Jamie, Jamie was such a laid back baby and he slept through the night. The nurses had told her that while his brother and sisters had screamed during their tests he'd just laid there patiently taking in his surroundings. "Brooke…the doctor said that I can't stay here very much longer, there's not enough room."

"I'm so sorry Haley but you'll just be next door and it's barely a 10 min. walk, and you'll have these two big guys." But she knew that that didn't help. "I remember having to leave the boys here, I fought Lucas the whole way home." Brooke said quietly.

When Nathan came back he and Lucas put the crib together as Haley and Brooke dressed the boys, Brooke dressed Jamie in a pair of blue sweat pants and a white and blue bodysuit. "Look Hales." She said proudly holding him up. Soon Ryan was dressed in a blue bodysuit since his pants were too big. "You are so tiny." Haley said kissing his sweet toes.

Brooke and Lucas met Jake and Peyton later that evening, "Hey guys…you just coming from the hospital?" Peyton asked smiling, she and Jake hadn't spend as much as Lucas and Brooke had at the hospital.

"Yep, Haley's beaming both boys are in perfect health and were discharged…how come you haven't spent much time there?" Brooke asked when the boys went to get their food from the buffet.

"We were there for a little bit today, the reason we haven't been there a lot is because of something Haley said that upset me a little." Peyton said frowning, she and Haley were both being childish which was why she hadn't said anything to Brooke about it.

Brooke smiled she missed the days of being childish, "What happened?"

"Well…it started two weeks ago…"

Peyton was sitting beside Haley in the NICU, "They're beautiful Hales." She said rubbing a sweet baby foot.

"I know it and I can't believe that they're mine…are you and Jake going to have more kids?" Haley asked smiling.

"Yeah I want a houseful and I know that Dakota would love a little brother or sister." Peyton said thinking of Jenny and Dakota, she was thrilled that Nikki was finally out of the picture. When she looked away from little Jamie she frowned at the expression on Haley's face, "What?"

Haley didn't want to say anything but for some reason she couldn't stop herself, "Well I don't think it's such a good idea I mean you've already got two."

"What are you talking about? Brooke has two and one on the way and you've got FOUR!" Peyton said a little too loudly because two nurses turned and gave her a hard look.

Haley sighed, "I know but obviously you have a hard time with more than one child…remember what poor Jenny went through after you brought Dakota home? She was ready to move in with Brooke."

"How dare you? I've always regretted that and I'll admit that I did have a hard time but I adore both of them and Jenny, Jake and even Brooke have already forgave and forgotten that so why the hell can't you? You're supposed to be my friend too, I sent my daughter and son home with Karen and Keith so that Jake and I could stay up here and help out!" Peyton yelled furiously, "But obviously that was a mistake."

"Peyton I'm sorry I really didn't mean to hurt your feelings and you're right…you're a very good mother." Haley said trying to calm her friend down.

Peyton was still angry, because even though her daughter had forgiven her she still hadn't forgiven herself, "But not as good as you right! But you know what? You might such as a mom, it's so hard to be a mom in a hospital with a dozen nurses doing the feeding and changing!"

Brooke felt badly for Peyton, she knew that she was still having a tough time forgiving herself for what had happened when they brought Dakota home. "Oh Peyt. I'm sure that Haley really didn't mean that, but that wasn't nice to tell her that she might suck as a mom."

"I know but it's still hard for me to forgive myself and then to have her throw it back at me like that, she and are still pretty tense which is why you haven't seen me there a lot. Normally I go with Jake and we talk to Nathan and then see the babies and leave, I am really glad that Ryan and Jamie are both alright now and I felt about Devin." Peyton remembered Brooke's frantic phone call about it and she'd prayed so hard that the baby would be alright.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"How come I haven't seen a lot of you and Peyton at the hospital?" Lucas asked as he started on his plate after Brooke's was finished.

Jake frowned, "It's stupid Peyton and Haley had a disagreement and now they're barely talking but we do go…just when I'm going to hang with Nathan and to see the babies when Haley's asleep or not around…but I think we'll be leaving soon."

"Oh, I'm sorry man…well both Jamie and Ryan have been released and the hospital has told Haley that she can't stay there anymore…not enough room." Lucas said as they walked back, "I'm sure Peyton's dying told one of the babies."

"You've got that right, Nathan said that she could tomorrow while Haley takes her afternoon nap. We all hate sneaking around that but Peyton's afraid to ask for her in fear of another fight." Jake said softly as they sat down beside their wives.

Brooke smiled, "Luke it looks great!" The foursome ate and talked about their kids and Brooke's little one that would be coming soon. "Peyton I think you should have another baby."

"Thanks Brooke and we'll see what happens…ya never know." Peyton said smiling, she was glad that someone thought she wouldn't ruin her kids lives.

After dinner they headed back to the hotel, Jake and Peyton were staying in room 206 and Lucas and Brooke were in room 204.

"Jake I really should try and talk to Haley, It was really low of me to tell her she might suck as a mom." Peyton said slipping out of her jeans and putting on her pajamas.

Jake smiled, "You could always pass me note and I'll give to her in study hall." He said laughing as he held her.

"This is not funny! She's one of my best friends, I'll talk to her tomorrow before we leave I don't want to sneak around and hold one of the babies if she says no…well then I'll wait until Tammy Elizabeth Scott is here." Peyton said as Jake nuzzled her neck and soon all thoughts of mending her friendship with Haley were over.

Jake kissed her lips and let his tongue explore, "I love you so much and you look damn sexy in those pants." Peyton laughed as he slipped them off and laid her on the bed.

"Seems like you're happy to see me." She said her voice filled with passion as they kissed and she took off his shirt, she loved his body it was firm and rugged. "I love you too."

When Lucas got out the shower Brooke was crying on the phone, "Baby what's wrong?" He took the phone from her and slipped his free arm around her. "Hello?"

"Lucas? It's your mom." Karen said feeling bad that Brooke was crying, "I'm sorry she's so upset."

"What happened?" Lucas asked as Brooke cried into his shoulder, he really wasn't upset Brooke always cried at the drop of a hat when she was pregnant.

Karen sighed, "Well she was saying good night to the boys and they told her they loved her."

Lucas chuckled earning a look from his wife, "Oh…alright thanks Mom…are the boys asleep?"

"Nope you wanna talk to them?" Lucas said yes, he hated being away from them.

"Hey daddy!" Seth and Austin said Grammy had given them each a phone, "Is mommy still cryin?"

Lucas smiled, "Yeah but she's alright she misses you guys…I miss you too."

"We miss you daddy and baby Tammy." Austin said softly. "I…I wet the bed."

Lucas smiled, "Did you have a bad dream?" Lately the only time Austin wet the bed was when he was dreaming of Rachel which thankfully wasn't very often.

"Yeah…she hurt you and there was a lot of red stuff." Austin told him sadly.

He felt his heart shatter a little, "I'm sorry buddy I wish I'd been there."

"Me too but Grandpa Keith and Grammy took good care of me and they weren't mad." He smiled when he heard Austin's little giggle. "Grammy said you wet the bed until you were six!"

Lucas groaned and silently thanked his mom for that one, "Very funny buddy…we you two better get to bed, I love you."

"I love you too." They both said together. Lucas hung up the phone and turned to his wife, "You alright now?"

Brooke nodded, "They were just being so cute and I miss them so much." She said wiping a stray tear.

He led her to the bed and laid down next to her rubbing her back and belly until she fell asleep.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After making love Jake and Peyton fell asleep, he woke up around 3 when the phone rang, "Daddy?" The tearful voice on the other end said softly.

"Jenny what's wrong baby?" He was immediately awake and so was Peyton next to him giving him a worried look.

"I had a nightmare and can't go back to sleep…could you sing to me?" She asked softly curled up in bed.

Jake murmered to Peyton what was wrong and she nodded and laid back down, Jake laid down with phone at his ear, "Sure sweetheart what do you want me to sing?"

"Little Angel Of Mine." She said softly making Jake smile.

"Alright baby, are you all tucked in with Eddie?" He asked thinking of her teddy bear when she said yes he started singing.

Close your eyes, go to sleep

Little angel of mine

When you wake I'll be there

Little angel of mine.

Peyton smiled hearing him sing, she couldn't blame Jenny she loved this song as well, it made her think of her mother.

There's a star in the sky

And it's shining for you

Make a wish tonight

All your dreams can come true.

Jenny closed her eyes as her daddy sang, this had always been her favorite song and she could feel her daddy all around her and her mommy.

My arms will be around you

Kiss your tears away

I'll comfort and protect you

Never be afraid.

Close your eyes, go to sleep

Little angel of mine

When you wake I'll be there

Little angel of mine.

He heard her breathing change on the other end and he knew she was asleep, he smiled knowing if he stopped she'd wake up immediately so he finished the song for her softly.

My arms will be around you

Kiss your tears away

I'll comfort and protect you

Never be afraid.

Close you eyes, go to sleep

Little angel of mine

When you wake I'll be there

Little angel of mine.

I will watch over you

Little angel of mine.

The next day Jake was exhausted, he'd sung to Jenny for two hours over the phone, he and Peyton got dressed and met Lucas and Brooke in the hallway.

"Man you look like hell." Lucas commented as they got into the elevator, today was the day that Haley and the babies were coming back to the hotel.

Peyton laughed, "Jenny called in the middle of the night after a nightmare and wanted her daddy to sing to her."

"Oh the boys favorite song is Sweet Angel of Mine…which I sing to them and quite well." Brooke said smiling, "It's by Kassie DePaiva."

Brooke remembered the night after Austin had come home from the hospital, he'd had nightmare after nightmare so she'd curled up in bed with him and begun singing.

AS YOU LAY SLEEPING ON MY CHEST
A MILLION THOUGHTS RUN THROUGH MY HEAD
SOMEDAY YOU'LL THINK THAT YOU'RE TOO BIG TO HOLD
YOU'LL SPILL MILK ON MY FAVORITE DRESS
FALL DOWN AND SCARE ME TO DEATH
AND YOU'LL REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING YOU'RE TOLD

She rubbed his back as he laid on his head on her chest, she hated that she hadn't been able to keep him safe.

AND I'LL BE SO MAD THAT I'M ALMOST IN TEARS
AND YOU'LL SMILE THAT SMILE AND THEY'LL ALL DISAPPEAR
YES SOMETIMES YOU'LL HIDE YOUR PERFECT WINGS
BUT THROUGH THESE EYES ALL I'LL EVER SEE
IS THAT SWEET ANGEL OF MINE

I WON'T BE READY FOR FIRST GRADE
OR WHEN YOU GO ON YOUR FIRST DATE
AND YOU'LL THINK THAT I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
AND I KNOW THAT THERE'LL COME A DAY
WHEN YOU START TO PUSH ME AWAY
AND I'LL FEEL LIKE I'M LOSING MY BEST FRIEND

Lucas watched from the bedroom door, Brooke's eyes were closed and Austin was finally asleep with dried tears along his little cheeks. He knew that Brooke couldn't sing worth crap but it was so sweet he almost cried along with his little boy.

SO WHEN YOU WANT TO BE OUT ON YOUR OWN
FORGIVE ME IF I FIND IT HARD TO LET GO
YEAH SOMEDAY YOU'LL SPREAD YOUR PERFECT WINGS
BUT NO MATTER WHERE YOU FLY YOU'LL ALWAYS BE
THAT SWEET ANGEL OF MINE

AND I KNOW I'LL CRY ON YOUR WEDDING DAY
AS I WATCH YOUR FATHER GIVE YOU AWAY
AND I'LL BOW MY HEAD, PRAY YOU FIND ALL YOUR DREAMS
AND THANK GOD FOR EVERY DAY HE'S GIVEN ME
THAT SWEET ANGEL OF MINE

Jake nodded, "Yeah she loves that one too and Peyton sings it to her…since grown men don't cry."

Again Peyton had to laugh as the stepped out of the elevator, "Men don't cry…yeah right! Need I remind you who didn't want his baby girl to go to Kindegarden, after twelve he told me that he needed to pick her up because he was certain she needed him and so to appease him we went and there Jenny was playing happily with her new friends, Jake was crushed."

Brooke smiled, "Lucas did that on the first day the boys went to pre-school." She wrapped her around his waist and leaned into him.

"Yeah well so did you and I might've been fine if Austin hasn't screamed and grabbed onto my leg, like I was leaving him in a pit of snakes." Lucas said as they walked into the hospital.

"Peyton why don't you go and talk to Hales?" Jake said giving his wife a kiss while he and Lucas left to find Nathan.

Brooke went with her as a referee, "Hey Haley." She said seeing Haley packing with tears in her eyes, "What's wrong?"

Haley looked up and smiled, "Today we have to leave…I'm so worried about leaving my girls though. Hey Peyton."

"Hey Haley, look today might not the best time but I wanted you to know that I'm sorry about what I said, you're going to be a great mom. Supermom Haley." Peyton said smiling.

Haley sat down and touched her son's soft feet, "Thanks Peyton and I'm sorry too…I never should've said those things because you're a great mom and hell you've been a mom a lot longer than me."

"Friends?" Peyton asked smiling, Haley gave her a hug and handed her Jamie. "Oh Haley he's so precious."

Brooke smiled seeing her best friends hug, "Oh you guys!" She said grabbing Ryan out of his bed and joining the hug.
