AN: Hey guys, here it is… the confrontation between Lucas and Brooke. I'm really not satisfied with the whole thing myself, but I figured that I'd post what I have out there, take in your suggestions then change it. That change will not be posted until at least Tuesday or Wednesday. If you are wondering why, check out my other story And I'll Swim the Ocean for You. It explains it there. And as always, please review and I don't own anything.

Chapter 5: "I always said that I would make mistakes, I'm only human, and that's my saving grace. I fall as hard as I try, so don't be blinded."

I walked back into the house, not really sure what to do. I could have told the kids that Lucas was coming up, but I decided not to. I needed to figure out my course of action first. So I sat down at the island in the kitchen, and I in fact did eat but very slowly because my mind was traveling 100 miles per hour. Just when I thought I made up my mind on how to handle this whole thing, Peyton interrupted my thoughts.

"Hey Brooke, can I talked to you for a minute?"

"Sure." I said in a content mood because I was satisfied with my decision about Lucas. "What's up?" I asked after we reached her bedroom.

"Jake and I had a nice little talk while you were getting your things from the car and we discussed about having our own kids."

"Wow, Peyton that's really good. You guys seem perfect for each other."

"Thanks, and I was going to tell him that…."

"DADDY!!!!!" Lily screams interrupted Peyton, and caused me to tense up because Lucas had finally arrived.

"Go talk to him." Peyton said, noticing I tensed up.

"Thanks Peyt; we'll finish this conversation later, I promise." I said, giving Peyton a hug.

"Ok, now go. Good luck"

"Thanks."

I walked downstairs with the same nervous feeling I had the previous night, and again I put my hand protectively over my little bump. I did decide not to talk to Lucas in front of Lily and Landon, Lucas totally agreed with me; so we decided to take a walk around the local park that was extremely close to Peyton and Jake's house.

"Luke, I really don't know where to start with you. I love you but…"

"Brooke, please let me explain." I nodded and he went on. "I realize now that, well I actually realized this last night after I got home and you weren't there, but anyways, that I can not live without you or the kids. You guys are my life. I guess the past week or two I've been feeling different. Feeling that I am 26 years old and already have almost three kids and normally this is when families just start having kids. So after work I started going to the local bar and trying to drink my sorrows away. I avoided going home because seeing you and the kids would stress me out and therefore make me angry. But after a measly ten hours apart from you and the kids made me realize that I was being a total jerk and that in fact I do need my family. You guys keep me sane, I might not say it enough but I don't know what I would do without you, Lily, Landon, and this little guy." Lucas said putting his hand on the baby bump, which surprisingly caused me to calm down a little bit. "I love you Brooke with all of my heart, you are my Pretty Girl, my Cheery, and I am so sorry for acting like this. I can't believe that I attempted to throw a vase at you; I would never have done that if I was sober, but that is no excuse. I was so scared when I came home and saw the broken pieces on the floor, I thought I hurt you and that even broke my heart more. I know that we shouldn't fight in front of the kids, and that is my fault I shouldn't have come home drunk. But I promise you that I am going to change and be a better father and husband that is, only if you take me back."

"Lucas Scott, I swear every time you give me one of these pieces my heart melts and I fall more and more in love with you every single time. Of course I will take you back."

As soon as I said that we leaned towards one another for a kiss. This kiss was so magical and yet romantic at the same time. Every word that I told Lucas was true, and I knew that we were going to change because we loved each other so much that nothing could come in between us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~MEANWHILE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey Lily pants, I have a question for you?" Peyton asked, cuddling up with Lily on the couch.

"Sure Aunt Peyton."

"Do you remember what you said before about the baby in Mommy's tummy?"

"How I think it will be a girl?"

"Mhm, now if Mommy and Daddy gave you the chance of naming the baby, what would you name it?" Peyton asked, having an ulterior motive.

"I guess, Ella."

"And if it was a boy, then what?"

"I guess, Jayden."

"Those sound like great names."

"Thanks, why do you ask?"

"I was just wondering. Now go play."

"Ok."
