Chapter 7
Author's Note : To all my readers. Brucas fans. Thank you for the support. Review!
"You think that this is easy for me! The whole reason we got married and bought this huge house was because we were supposed to raise a family together. When you envisioned our future it didn't only involve the two of us!"
"I'm the one who's a failure here. I hate myself. And my body. And you're paying the price for that too!" Brooke yelled.
The expression on Lucas's face softened.
"I don't care about any of that. If it's just you and me for the rest of our lives. I'll be happy with that. Brooke this happening to you wasn't you're fault. We just weren't meant to have a family the traditional way." Lucas stated.
"You are more then capable of having a large family. It just won't include me. All that money. Time wasted. And going to specialist. Just to be find out. I'm the problem. I know how badly you want to be a father." Brooke said.
"I'm a husband before anything else. That's all that matters to me now." Lucas reassured her.
Brooke was reeling. The newest revelation from her doctor. Was too much to take. She was infertile. Unable to get pregnant and carry a child. She only experienced it once just for it to end in tragedy.
They allowed themselves to dream of a life with their son. Then After a number of years adoption was the next step. These boys. They were a year apart. 4 and 5 years old.
Their names were David and Jacob. Their were foster children who needed placement right away. So Brooke and Lucas took in the small boys and over time they evolved from shy and reserved to full of life and improving in every aspect.
When it came time to give them back to their bio mom. It was heartbreaking decision but they had no control over it. By law she had done everything asked of her to regain custody of her sons.
So putting up a fight would only make the transition that much more harder.
Watching the car drive away. With those boys was a moment Lucas and I have yet to forget or heal from.
Lucas wanted to try adopting again. But i couldn't open my heart like that again to another child.
He tried to stay in our marriage. But i pushed him away and retreated insid myself.
I asked for the divorce. I needed to let him go.
