Lucas, Alex, school, basketball…..Lucas. A whole bunch of thought raced through her head as she tried to study for her finals. Lucas had been right all those months ago. They definitely had too much on their plates to even consider having another baby. Alex was growing so fast and between her and Luke's schedules with classes they were now passing him off for shifts. She hated that they only had one day a week where they could all actually hang out and be a family. She was glad that they only had one more year of this madness before they were done with college.
About two months ago she had gotten so angry with Lucas and they had an all out fight right before one of his games. She was supposed to go and work on a group project and Lucas was too tired to watch Alex. Granted he had been up all night with Alex because he had been sick and Brooke was too tired, but it still got her upset. She was always taking more responsibility and skipping out on her work so Luke could keep up with his own and basketball. If you looked at their grades that was a clear indication. Brooke used to be the one bringing home the higher grades and now she was struggling to just get B's. She knew Lucas was tired and had a big game that night, but she couldn't find a sitter on such short notice. Well Brooke had stormed out and told Lucas to act more like a father and less like he was helping out. She came home just as he had to rush out the door and they didn't speak a word to one another.
Brooke had debated even going to the game at all, but she knew that Lucas wanted Alex there. No matter how much she got angry with him she wouldn't deny him his son. Well things took a bad turn in the last half of the game when Lucas got slammed in the shoulder and had to be sidelined. She had tried to get back to make sure he was okay but the team doctor said that she needed to wait. Lucas had gotten a shoulder injury which meant he wasn't going to be able to finish the game or be in any of the upcoming games. At first he was real angry and of course they had fought but in the end it had worked out perfectly. They even got to spend more time together as a family. The coach didn't make him come to weekend practice so he spent time with Brooke and Alex. She smiled when she thought of the last weekend before he was cleared to start again at practice.
Flashback:
The weather was perfect for a day at the beach. Lucas and Brooke packed the car and took Alex. They had both brought him into the water (which was a little too chilly according to Brooke) and he loved it. He kicked and splashed the water everywhere. Of course he did flip out when his little feet initially touched the water. Lucas made him laugh though when he grabbed a bucket and dumped it on Brooke causing her to scream and squeal. Alex happily jumped in Lucas's arms with laughing at his shivering mother.
Well Brooke got Lucas back when he fell asleep. Alex loved his little bucket of sand so they buried Lucas all the way up to his neck. They finished it off by adding water on top to make the sand heavier. Brooke was trying to find her camera when Luke woke up a little disoriented and Alex had gotten a bucket of sand and dumped it on Luke's head.
"Alex, no buddy. No dumping that on daddy's…." Lucas started but got cut off by the sand dumping into his mouth.
Alex giggled and laughed as Luke spat out the sand. "Momma, momma," he chanted while he banged his bucket.
Brooke turned around and laughed at what Alex had done…even though she knew Luke was pissed. She saw the look in his eye and grabbed Alex. "Come on budda…we gotta run," she said as she picked up her son and ran down the beach.
"Oh no you don't," Lucas said as he ran after them. He grabbed Brooke's waist and carried her to the water where he dumped them both. He instantly felt bad when Alex went under with Brooke and came back up screaming. "I'm so sorry buddy. Daddy didn't mean to dunk you buddy," he said as his son screamed bloody murder and people looked at him in disgust.
Alex eventually calmed down and Brooke cheered Lucas up. She knew he didn't mean to scare Alex. And Alex ended up making out of the deal because Lucas felt so guilty that he bought him ice cream, a toy and let him play with a bunch of stuff in the arcade. Lucas wasn't exactly one who enjoyed the arcades at the beach much so you know when he did go, he definitely felt guilty.
"Stupid flippin' finals," Brooke huffed as she slammed the book down on the table. She had been studying for this English final for hours and no matter how hard she tried she just couldn't understand it all.
"I'd hate to be that book right now," Luke joked as he looked up from his own books on the couch.
"I give up," Brooke said, throwing her hands in the air. "No matter how many times I look this crap over I just don't get it."
"What are you stuck with," Lucas asked frowning. Brooke was super smart and usually was the one who helped him.
"This English final. No matter how long I look this over I just can't get it. I may as well just drop out now because I am not going to get this," she said on the verge of tears. She hated being emotional but lately she couldn't help it. She had been spending her days with Alex and then class and at night she got to spend time with Luke. During the week that was just about the only time they got to spend alone and most of it was spent in the bedroom. Not that she was complaining it's just that Luke had some pretty good stamina so they would go at it for hours. She had the morning classes so she would end up being the one who had to get up super early while Lucas got to sleep in. And he was lucky because while she got up at four, he got to sleep until eight because Alex wasn't exactly an early morning riser either.
"Don't be so dramatic," Lucas said and rolled his eyes. "Grab your book and come here," he said as she made her way over to him and sat in his lap. She explained what she didn't understand and Lucas actually got it. He helped her understand it all and an hour later and Brooke was pretty sure that she was going to ace this final.
"You know," she said as she turned in his lap. "I think I just may have the best fiancé in the whole world," she said as she kissed along his neck and he rubbed her thighs.
"Is that so," he groaned out as he brought his hands around to her ass and pushed her grinding hips harder into his lower half.
"Yeah and so sexy too," she said as she moved her kisses to his mouth and kissed him hard. He wasted no time kissing her back and with just as much force. His hands found their way to the front of her jeans and started to unbutton her pants before she pulled back.
She continued grinding her hips into Lucas's but pulled back from kissing him and placed her hands on his shoulders. "But as sexy as you are," she said and crawled from his lap to stand up and he growled. "We have a little boy who will be waking up any moment," she said and just like clockwork she heard Alex calling for his mommy and daddy. She let Lucas calm himself down while she went and got Alex.
All that could be heard coming down the hall was, "Momma snack. Snack," and Lucas chuckled. His son definitely loved to eat and that was something he got from him. Lucas could consume ungodly amounts of food and still stay in tip top shape. He headed for the kitchen to get Alex and himself a snack while Brooke carried Alex on her hip into the living room. As soon as she placed him down he picked up Brooke and Lucas's books and played with them.
Lucas came into the livingroom and placed some snacks on the table. Of course, his were way more unhealthy than what he was feeding his kid. "Come on squirt, lets eat," he said and placed his son in his lap and handed him his snacks.
"No snack," he said and pushed what Lucas gave him away. "I have daddy's snack," he said as he grabbed a chip from Luke's plate and shoved it into his mouth. Lucas laughed and let his son continue eating what he had with him until Brooke came in the room.
"Lucas Eugene Scott," she growled and both boys turned to look at her with guilty looks plastered on their faces. "Are you feeding my son more junk food," she asked with a glare.
"No," he said glancing to his son grabbing another chip from his plate. "I am feeding OUR son more junk food," he said with a smirk. Although the smirk was quickly wiped off his face when Brooke grabbed the plate from his hand and replaced it with the carrots and toddler bars.
"Okay Luke well now you and OUR son are having healthy snacks," she said as she plopped in the seat and finished off the rest of the chips. "Mmm Mmm good," she said as she placed the plate on the table and smiled at her boys.
Finals were finished, both Brooke and Lucas were feeling good about them and tonight was the championship basketball game and Lucas would be starting. Everything in their life was just about perfect at the moment. Brooke sat behind the team with her son bouncing on her knee. The guys on the teams had a weak spot for the littlest Scott and whenever he would come to games they would sneak him snacks. Currently he was shoveling popcorn into his chubby little cheeks and waving around a small flag that had his father's jersey number on it. Even the coach had a thing for the little guy and had gotten him a tiny tots team jersey that he always wore.
The scores were pretty even and Brooke was getting nervous. She knew how badly Lucas wanted to win this game and with only a few minutes left in the game it wasn't good that they were so close in points. The coach called a quick time out and the team gathered. As they were going back onto the court Lucas heard Alex yell out, "Go daddy," and smiled. Of course it was Brooke talking in his ear to tell him what to say but he still looked adorable. It was his sons little voice that played in his head those last few seconds of the game. He always wanted to make that little guy proud and Lucas felt he owed him that. Both Alex and Brooke. They were everything and more that he wanted in life and without them he would be nothing. So seconds before the final buzzer sounded, he looked quickly at his family and took the last shot of the game. The entire stadium was so silent that you could hear a pin drop. When the ball finally went into the net and the team won the championship it was chaos.
His teammates were high fiving, hugging and even some crying. Everyone wanted a second of Lucas Scott's time for getting them to this point and for helping them win a championship, but all he wanted was to get to his family. He saw Brooke and Alex out of the corner of his eye right behind the team seats and pushed his way through to them. Both Brooke and Alex had confetti sticking in their hair but they were so excited. Brooke was actually crying and Alex didn't know what all the noise was about so he screamed along with everyone else. Lucas was pretty sure he loved it when it was loud because it was like he was trying to scream louder. Of course no one was as cute as his kid though. He took Alex from Brooke's arms and spun him around.
"I'd be careful doing that," Brooke warned. "The team has been sneaking him snacks all night and he might…" Brooke tried to finish but it was too late. Lucas had just lowered him when he threw up on the floor. "Throw up." She grabbed her diaper bag and quickly cleaned up the mess while Lucas rubbed Alex's back and he finally zonked out. It amazed him that Alex could sleep through that much noise but the same could be said for him.
Brooke finally stood in front of him and congratulated him. "I am so proud of you baby," she said as he pulled her closer by the waist with his free arm and she pulled his face down to hers. She kissed him at first gently, and then it got a bit more heated. Her hand found it's way into his hair and gently tugged it and she pulled away remembering they were in public.
He just stared at her for a moment. There was absolutely nothing that could be more perfect at this moment than it already was. He just won a championship, his baby was sleeping in his arms and his beautiful fiancé was here. The way she had just kissed him almost made him dizzy; she just had that kind of effect on him. He knew he could never be with anyone else because she made him feel things he was pretty sure no one else in this world had. "Marry me," he said just holding her.
"We are silly," she said and smiled at him while gently rubbing her hand over Alex's back.
"No I mean like tonight," he said and watched as she stared at him like he was nuts.
"Are you serious," she asked and he nodded. "Lucas we're not in Vegas. There isn't even anyone to marry us and we have the whole wedding already planned."
"I don't care about that. I just want to marry you right now. Let's go to Vegas. You have a diaper bag all packed for Alex so lets just go get tickets and go. Say yes. Say you want to be married to me as much I do to you right in this moment," he said looking at her pleadingly.
She pulled his face closer again and kissed him. This kiss was slower and when they deepened the kiss they took time to explore one another's mouths. The way his tongue gently moved with hers and the way he tasted drove her crazy sometimes. His hand moved down her back to her backside and gently squeezed. He pulled away and rested his forehead on hers. "Marry me…..tonight," he asked again.
A smirk formed on her lips and she finally gave him his answer. "Yes."
Twenty four hours later she had a wedding band on her finger and they were headed back home. They had waited until morning to get married because well they had a little son who would be very cranky if they woke him up. They had run home to pack a quick bag for Lucas and Alex's suites and Brooke had just bought a white dress with she was in the hotel. It was nothing fancy, just simple. It was what they were and what their love symbolized. Sure they would have a big ceremony in a few months but that day was just for them.
The both of them were so happy to be married and walked around calling eachother husband and wife all weekend. They didn't take any calls and kept the news private. Once the families found out they would freak and they just wanted the first forty-eight hours of marriage to be quiet. Well as quiet as it would be with Alex throwing his toys and demanding snacks. But it was nice to just have the three of them laying in bed together, watching tv and just being a family together. With finals finished and the basketball season over they would have the summer to just be with eachother.
Okay I know that was short but it's a chapter up! I think there may only be one chapter left in this. I'm not sure yet. But let me know what you thought! Hope you enjoyed….I know it's mainly fluff but I didn't want much drama after everything they have been through!
