A/N-Sorry it took so long for this chapter. I was working on my other stories. I decided to switch the format because I am getting better at writing without it being in script form. So hopefully this is better. Enjoy the chapter.

It's been a week since Sam came back from her meeting from New York and Stephen has called her almost every day. That action made Sam laugh. Sam's editor said that she needed to include stuff from living with Brooke as a foster kid and Sam has no idea what to write.

She is sitting in the kitchen with her laptop open willing herself to write but it isn't happening.

Brooke walks into the house and sees her daughter working.

"Got writer's block babe?" Brooke asks while sitting next to her daughter.

"Something like that" Sam says with a sigh.

"Julian took Maddie and Jamie to the zoo, how come you didn't go?" Brooke asks.

"Mom, I have to work I don't have time for the zoo plus you took me there all the time when I was 16 and quite frankly it gets boring"

"It was just a question Sam"

"I'm sorry"

"Sam, what did your editor say anyway?"

"He said that my book would be more interesting if I included stuff from when I was living with you as a foster kid" Sam says while looking at her mom.

"So, why don't you write it?"

"Because, mom I remember what I was like and I got to say, I am so not writing that into the story"

"How come?" Brooke asks.

"Let's see. I threw a keg party, got grounded um…I snuck out all the time. I ruined Peyton's wedding dress. I…I stole your ID and went to a bar…I was held hostage by Jack's brother and ditched school to go to Haley's to have English class away from that evil bitch principal" Sam says out of breath.

"I forgot you did all of that…but Sam not all of it was bad memories. We had some meaningful conversations and you helped me out by ruining Peyton's wedding dress because that inspired a new line. I also remember one conversation that I will never forget" Brooke says with a smile.

"What conversation? We had a lot" Sam asks with curiosity.

"The one we had in your room the night you left. Even though you left after that, I will always remember it. So, if you have to start somewhere I would start there" Brooke says while kissing Sam's forehead.

Brooke walks into her room with a smile.

Sam starts typing on her laptop…

I can always remember the first time I truly felt like a Davis. It was one conversation with Brooke that made me realize she was always going to be in my life. During the conversation I told her she was always going to be my first mom and she told me I would always be a Davis to her. That was the moment when I knew Brooke was always going to be there no matter what.

After Sam finished typing the first draft of the chapter she sent it to Mark. Sam walked into her mom's room and gave her a hug and a kiss.

"Thank-you. I just sent the first draft to my editor. What would I do without you?" Sam asks.

"You would probably be in jail because that was where you were headed before I met you" Brooke says with a smile and Sam just laughs at her.

"Thanks for that" Sam says sarcastically.

"Oh by the way. I need you to watch Maddie for tonight. Julian is taking me out somewhere" Brooke says.

Sam smiles at her mother.

"Sure I will"

"They should be here pretty soon" Brooke says.

"Alright I am going to go call Stephen" Sam says with a smile.

"Well does Samantha Davis have a crush on her editor's brother?" Brooke says with a smirk.

Sam blushes.

"No…okay yes I do and shut up" Sam says while walking out of the room.

Maddie and Julian walk into the house and Maddie goes up to Sam.

"Sammy, are we hanging out tonight?" Maddie asks.

"Yes, we are. Mom and Julian are going out" Sam says.

Brooke walks out of the bedroom and sees Julian. She goes up to him and kisses him.

"Get a room" Sam says.

Brooke throws a couch pillow at Sam's head and Maddie laughs at her sister.

"We will be out late. Sam you know the rules and Maddie you better listen to your sister" Brooke says.

"I will don't worry" Maddie says while sitting on the couch.

Brooke and Julian walk out of the house.

Maddie looks at Sam and smiles.

"Is he going to ask her?"

"I'd bet my life on it" Sam replies with a smile.

Julian brought Brooke to a small romantic restaurant and they were sitting at the table in the back and the table was light by two candles.

"Julian, this is so sweet" Brooke says in awe.

"I hoped that you would like it" Julian says with a smile.

"I do" Brooke says.

Julian smiles at the comment and hopes it is a sign.

Maddie and Sam are watching TV when Sam gets a video chat request from her computer. Sam requests the chat and it is Mark her editor.

"Hey Mark, how did you like the chapter?" Sam asks.

"I loved it. There was so much emotion in the chapter"

"You can thank my mom for that. She told me to start there" Sam says with a smile.

"I just might do that" Mark replies.

"Is there anything else that you need?" Sam asks.

"Nope that's it. Have a goodnight Sam"

"I will. You have a goodnight as well" Sam replies with a smile.

Sam exits out of the video chat and shuts off her computer and sits back down next to Maddie.

Brooke and Julian have just finished eating. Julian was getting a little nervous but he knew he wanted to do this.

"Brooke, I love you and nothing is ever going to change that. When I first met you people thought that I was back for Peyton, the girl in the book and they were right. I did come for the girl in the book but I came for the other girl. I came for you"

Julian gets up and walks closer to Brooke.

"I lost you more than once and I don't plan on that happening anymore"

Julian gets down on one knee and pulls out a velvet box revealing an engagement ring. Brooke is in tears.

"I love you and I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Brooke Penelope Davis, will you marry me?"

A/N-Julian asked Brooke to marry him. What is she going to say? Will she close her heart once again or will she say yes? I also haven't forgotten about Sam's little brother. I'm not exactly sure how that will play out but we will see. Sam and Stephen are getting closer even though you really didn't see it in this chapter. Stephen might make a surprised visit and so might Amber. Review please and tell me what you think.
