Caught Up

Chapter 17

authors note : The heart of this story is Brucas. Conflict doesn't change that.

I fell into you're brown eyes.

I told you i was you're light.

I don't want to talk about it.

I just want to hold you're hand.

I'm holding on to you're soul.

Lucas got dressed. Extending his hand to her.

"I don't want you to waste a second worrying or stressing about this. You are already hitting you're limit just adjusting to the changes you're going through." Lucas proclaimed.

Brooke gazed over at him.

"Its not you i'm worried about. And i know that this is you're dream. I just don't think its worth throwing away. Lindsey is one person. She has no say on how talented you are or where you're career is headed." Brooke replied.

"Enjoy you're brunch. I love you." Lucas said.

"I love you too." Brooke replied.

...

"The three of us back together. Its been too long." Brooke said.

"You get whatever you want. This is on me." Haley said. Looking to Brooke.

"No i won't let you do that. All i want from either of you is a baby gift. When this one is born. I have everything i ever wanted or needed." Brooke replied.

...

Sometime Later

"I knew it was her. When she picked up the call and didn't say anything. You would of said something."

"I just missed you. I don't want to write a book. Or know anyone who does." Peyton confessed.

Lucas glared at her. Sighing deeply.

Brooke was right. He should of never showed up here.

"Help me fix things with Brooke?" Peyton requested.

Lucas just left. He refused to play her game and involve his wife any further.

...

Weeks Later

At 16 weeks my baby bump. Was growing. I'm gaining weight all over. I had at last reached a blissful part of my pregnancy.

Brooke threw down the bras she had been wearing and tried on these larger ones. To her relief they fit and were giving the support she needed.

Lucas leaned over running his hands through her hair.

Brooke smiled. Feeling newly re connected with her husband.

"Are you okay with everything.?" Lucas asked.

Brooke leaned over kissing him.

"Yeah. I missed being close like that. Ever since i got pregnant. I was too nervous to even try but that's over. I can't wait to try again and explore this together." Brooke replied.

...

Days Later

The nursery for baby Scott. Was coming togetther slowly. Everything was gender neutral. Since the couple didn't know the gender yet.
