A/N: Hey loves, someone pointed out that Jenny wasn't a baby anymore so Jake shouldn't have had a baby seat in the car…sorry about that, my bad; let's just say in this fic, Jenny's only one! Thanks for all the reviews, only two more chapters after this one, I hope you like it. Remember reviews equal love so leave me some sugar! Xoxo!
Lucas stepped out of his car and walked up the pathway to Brooke's house; he knocked on the door and waited. He didn't hear any noise from the inside so he tried to peek through the window to see if he saw anyone coming. He couldn't see anything so he turned to leave. Just when he was about to open the door to his car, he heard a car pulling up. His hand tightened on the doorknob when he saw Owen step out, and open Brooke's door for her. She smiled at Owen when he laced their fingers together, and giggled at something he whispered in her ear. Right when Lucas had seen enough and was about to get in his car, she saw him
"Luke! What are you doing here?"
"I just wanted to check on you, make sure you were O.K" he said quietly
"Oh, yeah, I'm fine" she said "You remember Owen right?"
"Yeah, how are you man?" he asked taking Owen's outstretched hand
"I have to go babe" Owen said grabbing Brooke's waist "I'll see you tomorrow" he said bending down and kissing her on the lips. Lucas looked away
"See you tomorrow" Brooke said pulling away from him
"So, you wanna come in for a little bit?" Brooke asked walking towards the front door fumbling in her purse for her keys
"Yeah, sure"
She opened the door, and Lucas sat on the sofa. "So, Owen?"
"yeah, she said putting her purse on the counter, and sitting next to him "When I met up with him after the game, he said he was sorry for not giving Angie a chance, and he wanted a second chance"
"He doesn't deserve you Brooke"
"Damn it, I wish everyone would stop saying that, who does deserve me Lucas, because I don't know so I'm going to give Owen a chance, and I'll make the decision if he deserves me or not" she said angrily
"I'm sorry Brooke, I didn't want to make you mad, I was just trying to look out for you"
" I know you were, I'm sorry I snapped at you, I just want to be happy, and if Owen can make me happy then I want to give him a try"
"I want to make you happy pretty girl" he thought to himself
"I want you to be happy too Brooke" was all he said "I'm happy for you"
"Thanks Luke"
"I'm going to go, I told Lily I'd spend some time with her…Be careful O.K Brooke"
"I will, don't worry" she said smiling as he walked to the door and closed it quietly behind her.
x-x-x
"Hey you"
"Oh, I think you got the wrong car"
"Nah, don't mind me, I just have to get out of this uniform, so anyway I'm Brooke but probably knew that, so can I tell you that last shot was awesome, how did it feel? Good huh? You know it did…Oh my gosh!"
That game wasn't horrible
Thanks Coach
Well don't turn pro yet, drag your scrawny but to the weight room twice a day starting now
You got it
Oh, by the way there's a half naked girl in the back seat of your car, I just thought you'd like to know
"Grouchy…So anyway you're in it now aren't you…when that last shot went through, did you feel it change?
Feel what change?"
Everything. I mean how many moments in life can you point to and say that's when it all changed? But don't worry baby, the popularity thing's not so bad"
x-x-x
"Lucas! What are you doing?" Lily asked as the memory faded
"Just thinking about some things" he answered
"What kinda things?"
"Grown up stuff"
"Momma says I'm a big kid, so you can tell me grown up stuff" Lucas laughed and picked her up and put her on his lap.
"O.K"
"I like this girl but I don't think she likes me back"
"It's Brooke right?"
"How did you know?" Lucas asked confused
"Everyone knows you love Brooke Lucas" she said rolling her eyes "but I think you should tell her how you feel before you lose her again"
"I think I already have" he said quietly
"Don't' be sad Luke, remember what Brooke always says people who are meant to be together always find their way when it's finished"
"In the end "Lucas said laughing "People who are meant to be together always find their way in the end…Thanks Lily" he said as she lay on his chest "You're my favorite little sister"
"I'm your only little sister" Lily said giggling
x-x-x
"Brooke, are you here?" Peyton called out
"Yeah, I'm in the bedroom" Brooke shouted to her "Hey best friend"
"Hey" Peyton said sitting next to her on the bed "These look great Brooke" she said picking up one of the finished sketches that lay in front of Brooke
"Thanks P. Sawyer…So how's Jake?"
"He's great, we're taking things slow"
"That's great Peyton, I'm really happy you're back, because that bitchy depressing Peyton was getting annoying" she said smirking
"Thanks B. Davis, none of this would be happening without you"
"That's what friends are for, right?"
"So what about you and Owen?" she asked
"He's a great guy; he's smart, sweet, funny"
"It sounds to me like you're trying to convince yourself"
"I'm not, I'm happy Peyton"
"That's all I want, I want you to be happy because for the first time in a long time I'm really happy Brooke"
x-x-x
"Hey Hales"
"Hey Luke" she said looking up from the papers she was grading "What's wrong?"
"What do you mean, I just wanted to come and visit my best friend" he said
"Yeah sure, now tell me what's wrong"
"Did you hear about Brooke and Owen?"
"Yeah, Nathan told me…so are you finally ready to admit it to me?"
"Admit what?"
"That you're in love with Brooke"
"O.K, you're right, I'm in love with her"
"Well it's about damn time Lucas Scott…so now what are you going to do about it?"
"What can I do, she's with Owen, and I don't think she feels the same way about me"
"I know Brooke; don't be so sure on how she feels, she's almost as stubborn as you when it comes to her heart….don't give up on her Luke"
x-x-x
"Hey beautiful" Peyton cooed to Jenny as she crawled onto her lap
"You're great with her" Jake said from where he sat across the room
"She makes it hard not to be" she said
"Peyton I want to marry you"
"What!" Peyton asked dropping the rattle she held in her hand
"I want you to be my wife"
"Jake you were the one who said we should take things slow; I don't think getting married is taking it slow"
"I know" he said walking towards her "I lied, I don't want to wait, I want to go to sleep next to you every night, and wake up next to you every morning. I want you to have my last name, I want you to be Jenny's mom, I want you to be mine forever Peyton"
"Oh my god" she said as he got down on one knee
"Peyton Sawyer, will you marry me?"
She swiped at the tears that were falling from her eyes "Yes….yes, yes, yes" she said as he lifted her off the ground and buried his face in her hair
"I'll never let you go"
"You never have to"
