Previously-

Paige gave Jenny the ball and ran to her mother. "Yes, Mommy?"

Brooke picked her up. "This is Lucas."

"Hi!" Paige said as she waved to him.

"Hi," Lucas replied.


Scene-Peyton/Jake's backyard.

"Brooke can we talk inside," Lucas asked.

"Sure," Brooke answered putting Paige down. "Sweetie, go play with Jenny."

"Okay, Mommy!" she said as she happily ran to play.

They walked inside.

"How could you not tell me?" he asked bitterly.

"How can you be marrying that skank?" she retorted.

"I love, Rachel."

"Look me in the eye and tell me you love her and not me."

"Why did you leave?"

He can't do it. He can't say he doesn't love me. "I was walking out of the clinic, and Dan walked up to me. He said that I would ruin your life and you would be stuck in this small town. I-I didn't want that for you…or me."

"Why didn't you trust me?"

Brooke looked away then back at him. "I don't know how to trust. My parents, you, Peyton… I don't know how."

"So you kept my daughter from me?"

"I'm sorry, but it's not too late. You still have time."

"Brooke how will this work? You live in L.A. and I live here."

"I don't know, every other holiday?"

"Brooke, you know a child shouldn't have to go through that."

"Lucas, I'm not moving here. This isn't my life anymore. You can move to L.A."

"I have Rachel to think about."

"And I have Paige. All she knows is in L.A., her teachers, friends, everything."

"I'll talk to Rachel."

Brooke looked away holding back tears. "Whatever."


Scene-Rachel/Lucas's apartment

Rachel heard the door open then slam shut. She quickly grabbed her eye drops and dropped them in her eyes to make it look as if she had been crying. "Lucas, you're back," she said with a fake smile.

"We need to talk," he said calmly.

"What about?" As if I don't already know.

"Brooke's daughter is also my daughter."

"Oh really," she replied with fake shock.

"Here's the problem: I live here and Brooke lives in L.A."

"She can move here."

"That's not going to work." He sat down. "We're going to have to move to L.A."

"Lucas, why don't you get full custody of the little girl," Rachel suggested as she also sat down.

"Rachel, I can't do that to Brooke. It's her daughter," he explained.

"She did it to you," responded Rachel.

"Don't make me choose between you and my daughter."

"How about between me and Brooke?"


Scene-Nathan/Haley's house

Brooke knocked on the door, and Haley answered with little James in her arms.

"Aw, Tutormommy, he's so adorable," Brooke said. "Can I hold him?"

Haley smiled and handed Brooke baby James.

"Auntie Halwey, I need a hug!" whined Paige.

Haley hugged her. "Have you been a good girl?" she asked as they walked in.

"Of course I have," Brooke replied.

"Tigger, I was talking to Paige," Haley explained.

"I know."

"I've been a good girl, I pinky swear," replied Paige.

They sat down.

"Uncle Nathan!" Paige yelled happily.

"Hey, Paigey," he replied giving her a hug.

"So Lucas knows," Brooke said out of the blue.

"What?" both Haley and Nathan replied.

"Yep, and we have a problem."

"What is it?" Haley asked.

"I live in L.A. and he lives here. I hope he doesn't try to take her, she's my life." Brooke started tearing up, but stopped. "Paige, doesn't like it when I cry."

"Brooke, if Lucas tries to take Paige, I will kick his ass," Nathan replied..

"Thanks, Nate." And as if on cue Brooke's cell phone rang. "Hello?" she answered.

"Hey, Brooke, it's Lucas. Can you meet me at River court in a few minutes?" he asked.

"Sure, bye."

"Bye."

"That was Lucas, he wants me to meet him at River court. Can you watch Paige?"

"Sure." Haley replied. "We'd love to."

Brooke kissed Paige. "Be good for Aunt Haley and Uncle Nathan."

Paige grabbed Brooke's shirt. "Mommy, don't go," she pleaded.

"I'll be back in a little while and I bet if you ask Uncle Nathan nicely he'll play basketball with you."

She looked at Nathan. "Uncle Nathan will play basketball with me. I really good."

"Sure thing, Paigey."


Scene-River court

Brooke arrived shortly after Lucas. "I'm here, what?" she asked annoyed.

"Brooke you and I need to talk about Paige," he started.

"If you even think about taking her…" she interrupted.

"Brooke, I would never do that to you or her. But I have to think of Rachel."

"Say you don't love me."

"Excuse me?"

She walked closer to him. "If you say you don't love me then it'll make things easier and I won't question your feelings for Rachel."

"Brooke, I can't say I don't love you. I'll always love you."

"Why did you have to say that?" she cried. "You know what, Lucas, I love you too and I've been wanting to do this since I saw you."

"Do what?" he asked. Suddenly he felt Brooke's lips touch his. It felt so normal, so perfect. He wrapped his arms around her as the kiss intensified. And he knew he never loved Rachel.

Unknowing to the two ex-lovers Rachel stood near a tree. They are both going to pay.
