A/N-Here I am again. I kind of feel like my chapters are getting bad, so let me know if they are it would really help.
Lucas and Nathan are at the River court spending some time together. Sophia was with Brooke and Haley at the moment and Karen and Keith were at work.
Nathan passes the ball to Lucas.
"So, I was wondering if you wanted to take a little road trip with me."
"Depends on what it is."
"I figured we could go catch a game in Charlotte. I already talked to Brooke and she said that she was going to keep Sophia anyway so how about it?"
Lucas nods his head with a smile.
"Why not? Summer is almost over anyway. Alright I am in."
"Alright then."
"What are the girls going to do?" Lucas asks.
"Um…I think Brooke wanted to have a sleepover with her favorite girls."
"Ah, too much estrogen for me man," Lucas says with a chuckle.
"I wonder how you will feel when Sophia enters her teenage years."
Lucas frowns and throws the ball back to Nathan.
"She's not leaving my sight."
Nathan laughs and shakes his head. A few seconds later he throws the ball into the net.
Haley, Brooke and Sophia were sitting on the living room floor watching Sophia crawl all over.
"She's getting so big Brooke."
Brooke smiles and nods her head.
"Yeah, I know. It's amazing really."
"So, has she started talking yet?" Haley asks with curiosity.
"Not yet, she babbles a lot and sometimes I think I pick up on it, but I can't wait until I actually understand her."
"Brooke, there is something that I have to tell you."
Brooke picks up Sophia and sets her in her lap.
"What is it Haley?"
"I don't know how to say it so I am just going to say it. Nathan and I are married."
Brooke frowns and Sophia grabs at her mother's fingers.
"Well that sucks. I couldn't party."
Haley laughs and Brooke smiles at her.
"You aren't mad that I didn't tell you?"
Brooke shakes her head.
"Nope Lucas told me so it kind of lessened the blow. How did Deb and Dan take the news?"
Haley shakes her head.
"I don't know. They were angry I guess. They keep saying that we should get it annulled, but Nathan and I we love each other and that isn't ever going to change. Always and Forever."
Brooke smiles and nods her head.
"Alright, so since our boys are heading to Charlotte how about you, Peyton and I have a sleep over here with my little girl."
Haley nods her head.
"Alright, I've never had a sleepover before except at Luke's house, but I'm in."
Sophia climbed off of her mother's lap and onto the floor.
"What are you doing baby girl?"
Sophia reached for her purple monkey and smiled, Haley and Brooke laughed.
"She is one funny baby," Haley says.
"Oh I know, just the other day I was reading her a book and she was sitting on my lap, but then she grabs the book and throws it on the ground and she laughs her cute little baby laugh."
Haley laughs and glances at her god daughter who has a smile on her face.
"That must have been priceless."
"It was."
Nathan and Lucas finished putting their bags in the car and turned to look at Sophia, Haley and Brooke.
"I'll see you tomorrow Hales," Nathan says with a smile.
"I know I'll be fine. I have Brooke with me."
Nathan hugs Haley and softly kisses her.
Lucas turns to Brooke with a smile.
"Are you sure you will be okay with her?" Lucas asks.
Brooke rolls her eyes and nods her head.
"Yes Lucas, I think I am capable of taking care of our daughter."
Lucas sighs and rubs the back of his neck.
"I know that I just worry."
"It's sweet that you do Lucas, but we will be fine."
Lucas nods his head and kisses his daughter's hair.
"Bye baby girl daddy loves you."
Lucas smiles as Sophia babbles.
"Soon maybe we will understand you."
The boys made their way to Charlotte in record time. They thoroughly enjoyed watching the basketball game and they continued to sit on the chairs until people were gone.
"Lucas, I kind of had ulterior motives of bringing you here."
"What kind?"
"How much do you know about Dan's heart?"
"That he has a heart condition."
"HCM and its genetic and there is a doctor here that will do screen tests for free for athletes."
"Alright so we go get the test and go home. I mean what are the odds that one of us has it."
"One in two Luke."
Lucas sighs and closes his eyes.
Brooke, Haley and Peyton were sitting in the living room with blankets and pillows with baby Sophia in the middle of the circle.
"So where is Jake Peyton?" Haley asks as she takes a bite of her ice cream.
"He took Jenny to see his grandparents."
"How are you adjusting to semi-motherhood P. Sawyer?"
Peyton laughs.
"I thought it was going to be this freaky thing, but I feel in love with Jake and I love Jenny and it's all happening so fast, but I wouldn't change a thing."
"Motherhood can do that to you Peyton," Brooke says as she looks at her daughter.
"How so Brooke?" Haley asks.
"Before I would read something in the paper or watch something on TV and I would think what would I do if it was Sophia missing or raped or attacked. It freaks me out really."
"You have the mother's perspective Brooke. It becomes pretty dominate."
Brooke picks up her daughter and smiles at her.
"She's my baby girl, aren't you? Yes you are I love you very much."
"Mama."
Brooke looks at Sophia in surprise and then at her friends. Her suspicions are confirmed when she sees their smiles.
"Say it again baby, mama."
Sophia takes a hold of Brooke's hair and smiles.
"Mama."
Brooke smiles and gets tears in her eyes.
"This is my favorite day."
A few days have passed and Nathan is still mad at Lucas for not taking the test like he did. Brooke told Lucas that Sophia is starting to talk and he was upset that he missed it, but Brooke reassured him that she would do it again.
Lucas walked on to the River court because he knew that Nathan got his test results back.
"So?"
"I'm fine."
Lucas nods his head.
"One in Two right?"
A/N-I hope you enjoyed the chapter and if you didn't let me know. Until next week, you know what to do.
