'Lucas Scott dribbles the ball up the court side stepping the rather large Dustin Lewis at the top of the key, he turned left no wait right the balls up it's soaring through the air, almost in, it's in the hoop, Lucas Scott wins the game'
Lucas left the court with his bad drooped across his shoulder, with a white sweat towel in his other hand. He greeted Brooke in the usual way a soft tantalizing kiss and an arm laced around her waist. The paparazzi had become increasingly annoying and always trying to snap up money making pictures of this new hot couple. All the gang had been spending time together as couples bringing their kids along which had made Brooke increasingly clucky.
Brooke batted her big brown eyes at Lucas "I want a baby" Brooke pouted
"What…?"
"You heard me Broody I want a baby"
"This is a little sudden"
"Everyone else had one" Brooke whined kissing Lucas three times on the lips gripping his basketball shirt tightly
"Everyone being"
"Luke"
"Ok well when?"
"I don't know I just want a little girl that I can dress up, do her hair and hear about who she's crushing on"
"What about a son that I can teach b-ball and Father him"
"Luke" Brooke cuddled him as he opened the car door for her "Are you ok babe"
"Yeah I am fine" Brooke looked at him playfully and smiled "seriously I am fine B"
"Ok but I still want a baby" Lucas chuckled as Brooke bounced into the passenger seat of the car.
Lucas and Brooke drove in silence passing the yellow blur of New York taxi's, the silence seemed to be driving Brooke crazy as she was fidgeting and seeming very restless shifting her feet around on the floor
"Something you want get off your chest?"
"What…"
"You seem restless" Brooke smiled
"This car is uncomfortable"
"Is that all"
"What's with all the questions Luke"
"You just told me I want a baby and now your acting weird what can't I ask" Luke's voice was a little gruffer than usual and Brooke picked up on this startled by his ton
"I am sorry I just thought you should know" The car had halted and Brooke was making her way up the stairs as Luke locked it up
"Why now"
"You always said you wanted a family I just wanted you to know I'm ready"
"I'm not Brooke"
"Ok that's fine Luke when we are both ready"
"I don't think I'll ever be ready"
"What's with all this" Brooke gestured between her and Luke
"I just don't get you, one day you want the world next you want settle down"
"Luke where's this coming from, you want a family your whole life and now in a 5 minute drive you don't"
"It was a sudden answer"
"Well this isn't a joke"
"I know that"
"You just said you wanted kids and now you don't, do you have any idea how much that hurts" Brooke started to cry holding her hands to her chest
"Yeah it hurts me to"
"So why are we doing this"
"I…I… I don't think I could be a good father"
"Luke you would be amazing" Brooke cuddled Luke but he pushed her away
"Don't" Luke grabbed his coat and keys and left the house and a startled disoriented Brooke crying in the kitchen.
Brooke called Peyton over who was still on an engagement high, Peyton came rushing into the kitchen with the biggest smile on her face until she saw a red face puffy eyed Brooke sitting against the kitchen fridge crying her eyes out.
"Brooke honey" Peyton was a little startled at how bad it really was she greeted her with a hug and sat next to her, Brooke rested her head on Peyton's shoulder as she shuddered and cried "What happened" Brooke let out a big sniffle
"Luke" She paused "He said he wanted kids then said he didn't and then he left"
"Honey he will came around"
"I don't think he will. He was sure he would be a horrible father"
"There is no way"
"That's what I said but he just pushed me away, what I am going to do I want kids so bad" Lucas came into the kitchen catching the end of Peyton and Brooke's conversation
"So leave me"
"What" Brooke cried
"If you want them so bad find someone that wants them with you"
"Luke I want you"
"Well kids or me you decide" Lucas dropped his coat on the couch and made his way upstairs as the tears become more constant once again.
"Come on B Lets go to my house"
"No it will make it worse"
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah I'll just sleep on the couch"
"B don't sell yourself short"
"I'm not I love him so much I'm sure it's just a rough patch you know"
"I totally understand but B I have to..."
"Get back home to Jenny"
"Yeah"
"Go ahead I'll be fine" Peyton kissed Brooke on the top of her head and made her way out the door as Brooke directed her attention to the door Luke had closed him.
