Lucas put his fingers lightly under Brooke's chin and gently lifter her face to look at him. He saw the light mist forming in her deep green eyes. He pleaded again with her. "Please talk to me baby. What are you scared of," he said as he kept his eyes locked with hers as he cupped her face in his hands.

She closed her eyes for a brief moment and leaned her face into his hands. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes to look back at him. She opened her mouth and spoke in almost a whisper. "I'm scared of you Luke," she got out and looked at him. When he whispered "why" back to her she continued. "I'm scared that I won't be enough for you. I know you came back Luke, but when you get your break and make it in the NBA you will be traveling all the time. Look what happened when you went to Boston. It wasn't even a few months and you found someone else. Alex needs stability Luke. I need stability. I love you so much and I want to be with you, but I can't open back up to you, just for you to leave me again," she said honestly.

He looked back at her almost shocked. "I..I…I never knew you felt like that. I love YOU Brooke. I love you and Alex and without you guys none of it matters. I would give up anything for the two of you. The NBA doesn't matter," he said not looking away from her. He saw her about to argue and stopped her. "I've been thinking about something for a while and I want to talk to you about it. I want to be a writer. I love basketball, but it's not what I want to do with my life anymore. I want to be creative and thoughtful and writing is what I want."

Brooke didn't know he thought about anything other than basketball. "Luke, I wan you to do what makes you happy, not changing for us. I don't want you to wake up one day hating us because you didn't do what you wanted to with your life," she said.

Lucas pulled away from her and grabbed her hand. "Come with me," was all he said as he pulled her towards their room.

"What are you doing," she asked as he dragged her with him.

He pulled her into the room and sat her on the bed. He walked away and flicked on the light and grabbed his bag off the desk. He looked over his shoulder at Brooke who was looking at him questioningly. He smirked and gave her a small chuckle. That earned him a smirk and an eyebrow raise from his beautiful girlfriend…or whatever they were. He grabbed his paper and walked back to her. He sat next to her and handed her the paper. "Read this," he said as he held the paper out for her.

He sat quietly for the next five minutes and watched her as she read his paper that he wrote. He watched as she frowned, smiled, and then cried. When she looked She had tear in her eyes and a big smile on her face. She gently brought her fingers up and ran them along his jawline. "When did you write that? Did you mean all of that?"

He smiled and moved his head so her fingers kept grazing his face. "I wrote it about a month ago. And I meant everything I wrote in that essay. You and Alex are all that matters. I don't want anything else in the world if I can't have you guys. You are my world," he said as she leaned over and kissed him lightly on the lips. It wasn't a kiss that was passionate or fierce. It was just light kisses of soft flesh against soft flesh. Brooke leaned her forehead against his and whispered, "I love you Lucas." He smiled his famous Lucas Scott smile and said it back.

She leaned herself back on the bed and gently pulled his shirt so that he went back with her. They laid side by side and face to face not saying anything. She didn't break eye contact with him as she softly ran her hands over the front of his shirt. He smiled at her and put his hand over hers against his heart. "You know this belongs to you right," he said as he kissed the tip of her nose. She pulled his hand to her chest and repeated what he said. He pulled his hand from her heart and brought it to her face. He cupped her face in his hand as he finally kissed her with the passion they both desperately waited for.

They both wanted eachother, but neither wanted to be the first to make the first move just because they were unsure of the other. They hadn't been physical with eachother, since the beginning of Brooke's pregnancy. It was long overdue, but awkward.

Brooke decided that he wasn't going to make the first move and she would have to if this was going to lead anywhere further. She pulled her face away from Lucas's and her fingers fell to the buttons on his shirt. She didn't say anything at first and he didn't stop her. He just watched her with this glaze-over look in his eyes. She finally got the last button undue and ran her hand over his exposed skin. He let out a small moan and she smiled. She gently kissed him again and whispered, "I want you Lucas."

He simply nodded and brought his lips back to hers. He sat them up and took off his unbuttoned shirt. He pulled Brooke's sweater over her head and then sat behind her on the bed. She leaned into him and rested her palms on his thighs. He ran his hands up and down her arms while he gently kissed her shoulders. He wrapped his arms around her from behind and she tilted her neck and he placed butterfly kisses along the exposed skin. She moaned quietly and he smirked. He unwrapped his arms from her front and gently ran them along her back. He undid her bra clasp and she pulled her arms out so he could slip it off. She grabbed his hands and brought them to her chest. He carefully cupped them into his hands, remembering how wonderful her skin felt beneath his own.

He lifted her carefully over his lap so that he could lay her beneath him. He looked at her beneath him and smiled at her. He lightly kissed her soft lips and asked her if she was sure. She nodded and moved her fingers to the button on his jeans. He let her undress him and then he did the same. When they were completely exposed he just layed next to her and ran his hands over her body, memorizing every part of her all over again. When he was sure she was ready he gently climbed on top of her and parted her legs. Right before he was about to enter her she stopped him. He thought she was going to pull away from him, but she smiled at him and leaned over to open the drawer. She pulled out a condom and handed it to him. It made him smile at how shy she seemed and how responsible she was.

He kissed her as he entered her. She slightly winced at the feeling and he had to use all of his concentration not to finish before he even started. He stayed still for a moment allowing her to adjust and himself to enjoy her. She moved her hands to his hips and gestured for him to continue. He started out slow and worked their way to a rhythm. Brooke dug her nails into his back and begged him to go faster, and he held onto her hip to go deeper. Neither wanted the moment to end and prolonged it for as long as possible. It ended with Brooke arching her back and yelling his name and Lucas burying himself into her hair panting that he loved her.

Nathan had fed Alex and Haley gave him a bath. Something was different with Haley this week and he couldn't figure it out. He leaned on the doorframe and watched her dress and coo Alex.

"He's getting so big, so fast isn't he," Nathan stated.

Haley looked over her shoulder and smiled at him. "He sure is. It's amazing how fast they grow up. It feels like just yesterday Brooke had him. I can't believe how much he reminds me of Luke," Haley said.

Nathan walked in the room and snaked his arms around Haley. "I can't wait till we can have one someday," he said and kissed the side of her head.

Haley surprised him with her response. "What about now?"

Nathan wasn't sure if she was serious or kidding. "Are you saying you want to have a baby Hales?"

"Wanting to and having are two different things. I'm pregnant Nathan," she said as she looked at him for any kind of response. When he didn't say anything she lifted Alex to her and started to walk away. She didn't get far because he spun her around and crushed her and Alex to his chest and cried tears of joy.

Nathan was so excited to share his news with Brooke. He knew that she would be so excited for him and even though he was shocked, he was happy. He knew Haley was it for him and it just meant they started a family sooner than planned. He unbuckled Alex from the car seat and let himself into Brooke's apartment. He looked around and didn't see anyone. 'Weird' he thought. 'It's noon, are they still sleeping?' he thought as he walked through the apartment.

He heard a noise coming from Brooke's room and figured it was Lucas grunting in his sleep.

He opened the door to try and surprise them with a wake up shout, but he was the one surprised to see Brooke on top of Lucas. He quickly muttered sorry and shut the door. He wasn't sure if he was supposed to wait for them to finish whatever they were doing or not so he just went outside with Alex.

Lucas came outside dressed and greeted his brother. "Ummm hey Nate. Sorry about that," he said as best he could.

"Never mention it again. Not a visual I want to replay, no offense," Nathan said as he handed Alex to Lucas. That little guy was already asleep again. "Is Brooke dressed? I kind of want to tell her something, well both of you," Nathan said as his smile returned.

Lucas opened the door and went inside with Nathan following. He picked his son up from the car seat and brought him to his crib to finish his nap. He then sat next to Nathan on the couch and yelled for Brooke to come out.

"Is Nathan still here," she shouted from their room.

"Yes," Lucas yelled back.

"Then I'm not coming out. I'm too embarrassed," she said from behind the door.

"Well I guess I'll wait till you come out," Nathan laughed and got out. "I have some news I want to share."

Brooke quietly emerged from the room and sat next to Lucas, almost trying to hide. She started rambling how she was sorry and really embarrassed. Lucas held her hand and Nathan shook it off.

"Okay, so Lucas isn't the only Scott we can call a daddy anymore," he blurted out with a proud smile on his face. He noticed the looks they exchanged with him and elaborated. "Haley told me this morning she is pregnant, I'm going to be a father," Nathan exclaimed.

They were both genuinely happy for him. Lucas knew he would be a wonderful father and Brooke saw the bond she would always share with him. Nathan had a bond with her son that was unbreakable and Brooke knew he would have the same thing with his own child.

Brooke stood over her sons crib and watched him sleep. It was amazing how much life changed and how quickly he was growing. Her prom and graduation were approaching, as was Alex's first birthday. She felt a tear slide down her cheek when she thought about the last year. This little boy in front of her meant more to her than anything in the world. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't know Lucas was in the room until his arms snaked around her waist.

"He's so beautiful isn't he," Lucas whispered into her ear.

She sniffled and responded. "Yeah, he's perfect." She felt Lucas's grip on her tighten and he asked if she was okay. She reassured him that she was fine and they were just tears of happiness.

"Luke can we talk," she asked as they left Alex's room.

"Sure, Pretty Girl. What's on your mind," he asked as he pulled her against him on the couch.

"Okay so I'm not sure if you want to, but Peyton asked me to talk to you and I said I would."

He laughed and kissed the top of her head. "You're rambling so I know you're nervous. Just ask me whatever it is Brooke."

She turned so she was still in his arms but facing him. "I was wondering if you would take me to prom Lucas. I know it's not your thing, but I always told…" He cut her off with a quick kiss and a yes.

"You think Nathan would baby-sit," she asked.

"I'm pretty sure he would do anything you asked with a snap of your fingers Pretty Girl. You got the Scott boys wrapped around that pretty little finger of yours," he chuckled. She just smiled her dimpled smile and laughed.
