Chapter 11-

As much as she loved the quiet time, Haley needed to get home to see James. Nathan did too. As they walked up to the door hand in hand, they noticed the lights were off.

"I think Luke is sleeping on the couch," Haley said before she opened the door.

"Ok, just be quiet," Nathan whispered as he opened the door with Haley trailing right behind him.

"Hey guys," Brooke cheerfully said sitting up when they came in.

"Brooke? Lucas?" Haley asked turning the lights on.

"Yea? James is sound asleep. Come let's check on him," Brooke said getting up and pulling Nathan with her.

"You guys looked pretty cozy there," Haley said after they left the room.

"Yea, Brooke and I are back together," he said joining her at the table.

"I knew it. I told her this would happen."

"You did?"

"Yea, I'm happy you guys are finally together. Nathan and I had a bet going to see how long it would last before this."

"I'm curious, who won?"

"Me of course," Haley said as they both laughed.

"Thanks for watching him Luke," Nathan said as he and Brooke came back into the room.

"No problem. We had an interesting conversation," he laughed.

"I don't wanna know," Haley said.

"Well, it's getting late. I'm gonna go get a room," Brooke said grabbing her purse and walking to the door.

"I'll take you," Lucas said waving to Nathan and Haley on the way out.

"Now since I won, you know what you have to do," Haley said wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Yea, dinner for the week."

"I think I'll take that back for James's sake," Haley laughed.

Brooke and Lucas walked to his car that was around the corner. He smiled as he pulled her closer to him and she smiled when he kissed the top of her head.

"Let's take a walk Luke," Brooke said looking up to him.

"Whatever you want Pretty Girl."

"Would you ever think that we'd be together again?"

"Honestly, yes. How could we not be together?"

"I didn't. I thought that I was finally over you."

"You did?"

"Well that's what I told myself. I never did stop loving you Lucas."

"I never stopped loving you either. It was just that I told myself that I had to let you go and Peyton was the only one there."

"Well, I hope that's not the case now," Brooke said turning to him and gently kissing him.

"You don't need to worry about that."

"Good. Um Luke? The hotel is the other way," Brooke said confused.

"I know. You're not staying at a hotel."

"Um, then where am I going to stay?"

"With me," Lucas said causing Brooke to smile.

"I was hoping you'd say that," Brooke said holding onto his hand.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"You're pregnant? I didn't see that one coming," Jake said looking into his hands.

"You're mad? Bad timing," Peyton said.

"No, I'm not mad. I'm really happy for you, for us. It's just it's really surprising." There was a long silence after that. They both wondered what was going through the other ones head.

"Are you as scared as I am?" Peyton finally asked.

"A little, I know what to expect from Jenny but I'm happy it's you I'm having a baby with," he said taking her hand in his and kissing it.

"When are we going to move?"

"My boss said as soon as possible. Are you sure about this?"

"I'm positive," Peyton smiled and looked at their hands interlinked.

"Ok, now we'll have to break the news to Jenny about moving."

"Yea, that and we'll have to find her somewhere to go when we want to have nights like this."

"Oh, I forgot about that. We don't have to worry about that now. We're happy and that's all that matters."

"I'm so happy to hear you say that," Peyton said leaning over the table and kissing him.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"So, I'm staying with you in your house, with your mom and little sister?"

"I didn't realize that," Lucas said.

"I don't think I want to get too close Luke," Brooke said causing Lucas to stop.

"You want to see if I'm true about this?"

"No, I know you are but I'm leaving to go back to New York in two days and you're going back to Chicago. How is this going to work?"

"Don't worry about that Pretty Girl. All that matters is that we love each other. We'll make it work somehow."

"I don't want to lose you again Luke," Brooke said, "I want to be with you always."

"I wish that we could go back in time knowing everything we know now."

"Everything would be different right?"

"Right," Lucas said kissing her forehead.

"I'm happy to see no black door…" Brooke said as they got to his door.

"Me too," he said taking her hand and leading her inside.

Nathan was standing outside of James' room watching him sleep. He was softly smiling.

"Hey Nate," Haley whispered.

"Hey."

"He's beautiful," Haley said attaching herself to Nathan's hip.

"I need to say something to you Hales."

"What is it?"

"I'm scared that James is going to grow up, get married, be so in love and then cheat on her because that's what he learned from his father."

"Oh Nathan. James is five and will probably not remember this," she laughed.

"Haley, I'm serious."

"Nathan, you have done so many great things in your life with James and set so many more good examples than bad ones. One bad choice will not power over the good ones."

"Yea, I guess you're right."

"I know," she said, "Now it's late. Let's go to bed."

They walked hand in hand to their bedroom. Everything was perfect for them finally.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Brooke lay in Lucas's arms with her head on his chest listening to his heart beat. They just laid there in silence and there was nothing except each other on their minds. This time there would be no distractions or interruptions. There would be hard times and tough decisions but they would get through them together.

Just as Brooke moved slightly, getting more comfortable, there was a light knock at Lucas's door. They both looked up. Brooke got up and sat on the edge of the bed and Lucas went to open the door.

"Hey Luke," a women a little taller than Brooke said with two bags in her hands.

"Lindsey? What are you doing here?"

"I missed you."

"Lucas?" Brooke said finally making herself known to the stranger at the door.

"Who is she?" Lindsey asked staring Lucas down, giving the same glare as Brooke.

So much for no distractions and interruptions.
