Read to the end!
Now I've always said that love
Was nothing more but a waste of my time
I've always thought I'd be above these feelings
Always seem to miss in my mind
I said you'd never catch me in the corner of my room
gazing at a picture of you
And now that all don't mean nothin'
cause everytime I think about thinkin' girl
I'm thinkin' of you
Six years ago Brooke had sat in this very living room with Lucas Scott while they talked about things to come in the future. Sure she had been in love with him then but she knew she would love him for the rest of her life. She wasn't wrong. She loved Lucas more and more each day that passed. She loved the ring that adorned her finger, the pictures he had put out without her realizing, the fact that he wanted to wake up everyday of her life.
Brooke had gotten to know Lucas's family very well and they loved her just as much as she did them. She had gotten so much out of life from being with him but the one thing that she adored more than anything else was the sleeping baby boy she now had cradled in her arms. Little did she know that night when Lucas was joking about having a baby that she had actually been pregnant. They weren't always super careful about protection but Brooke wouldn't change that for the world. Lucas gave her this amazing child and even now five years later she is in awe every time she looks at him. He has his fathers blonde, spiky hair and ice blue eyes, but he has Brooke's dimples. He is a quiet kid, but hey that's being a child with a famous father. Even at such a young age he has gotten used to the flashing cameras and people following him. It isn't as bad as it used to be. When the little guy had been born, Brooke was nearly trampled every time she set foot outside the door.
Today Brooke and Cam would be visiting Lucas. This was something that they both looked forward to. Hopefully they would be given the privacy to visit him and not be bothered. They can tell him how much they miss him and all the crazy things that have been happening while he has been gone. Brooke can already picture the way that he would look at her when she told him of some of the things she had done. He used to give her these looks that just made her laugh because in all honesty, sometimes she thought Lucas thought that she was nuts. Brooke had always been a bit abrasive and not afraid to say what was on her mind. This had led to very un-nice things being published about her. She didn't care and she never felt that Lucas would mind.
Flashback:
"Brooke, Brooke," many were yelling as lights flashed in her face. "You have yet to let the public see the Scott baby. Do you plan on showing the world," the pushy tabloid writer asked as he shoved a microphone in her face. Today she had come out for the first time to get some diapers and Nathan had accompanied her. She didn't expect to be hounded the way she was. She was trying to just ignore them but it's hard when they are crowding your face and entering your personal space.
"Ms. Davis can we see baby Scott? Does the baby look like you or Lucas? What are you doing to lose the baby weight, it seems you are having a hard time with that," the pudgy photographer taunted her. Normally she would just keep going but today it got to her.
"Excuse me," she shrieked. "I just had a baby four days ago. I'm not going to be back to perfect shape in such little time. And who are you to talk about size you short little fat fuc…" Brooke started but was pulled away by Nathan before she could say or do anything else to get into trouble. He had become quite close to Brooke in the past few months and if she went out with him he was protective of her, just as Lucas was. He pulled her into his side and tried to sooth her but it was usless. She didn't want comforting from anyone but Lucas.
And now the love you give to me is sweeter than the sprinkles
on the top on mama's apple pie
I know you know I'm in love
When you're staring at the sparkle that appears in the corner of my eye
You don't have to worry 'bout it no, the things that I said before
because I'm so in love
And there ain't nothin' gonna stop it now
I'd bet it on the moon and the stars in the sky above
Brooke chuckled lightly at that memory. She had laughed so hard later with Nathan while they watched the encounter on TMZ. She really had looked like a mess. She looked down as she felt Cam stir on her lap. When he woke up he really did have Lucas's brooding look. He was a bit cranky like his mother when he was freshly woken. Today he wasn't though. Today he smiled up at his mother and his pudgy little fingers played with the ends of her hair.
"Hey momma," he smiled as she beamed down at him.
"Hey baby, did you have a good nap," she asked as he nodded his little head. "You hungry Cam," she asked as she ran her fingers through his hair. He pulled her hand in front of him and shook his head. He played with the diamond ring that sparkled in front of him. "Momma when do we go to daddy" he asked as his big blue eyes looked up at her.
Sometimes she wanted to cry when she looked at Cam. She couldn't believe that her and Lucas had created such a wonderful little child. He was perfect to her in every sense of the word. She loved him more than anything else in the world, and thanked Lucas every day for this perfect gift he gave her. She smiled down at their little boy and whispered 'soon' as she kissed his head.
Cam was very persistant that they had to stop and buy Lucas a gift. Brooke gave into him as she normally did. She really had such a hard time telling her baby no for anything. She knew this would cause her trouble later in life but that would be something she would face.
"Momma come on, daddy is right over here," Came said as he turned around trying to pull his mother faster.
"Hi daddy, momma and I came to visit you," Cam said as he placed the flowers and race car he bought on his daddies grave. "Momma always gets sad when we come here, but I told her how happy that you were that she came." Cam said as he sat down in front of the stone and pulled his crying mother down next to him.
"I'm not sad baby. I just miss your daddy so much," Brooke said and held in the sob as she pulled Cam in for a hug. Brooke sat as Cam gabbed about all the new things he had done since he last visited and all the things he thought would be important for Luke to know. As Brooke watched her son everything came flooding back to her as it normally did.
Flashbacks:
Brooke was sitting on the couch waiting for him to return from the store. She had called his phone twice because she was getting annoyed that he had been gone so long. Didn't he know better than keeping his beautiful girlfriend waiting, especially with what happened between them before he went out. She wanted nothing more than to continue where they left off.
Her phone rang and she picked it up without checking who it was. "Tell me you are almost home baby," she purred into the phone.
"Brooke," the mans voice asked.
"Nathan, why are you calling? Are you with Luke? He better be on his way home, I'm…." but she didn't get to finish her sentence.
"Brooke…th..there has been an accident. It's bad," was all Nathan cried before she grabbed her keys and raced to the hospital.
Brooke dropped the test on the bathroom floor. This couldn't be right. She had just lost Lucas. God wouldn't be as cruel to grant Lucas the wish he wanted without being here. She fell to the floor clutching her belly and crying because she was going to have a baby, but now Lucas would never know. She wanted him to at least know that he was going to be a father!
The ring. She had forgotten all about the ring for months until she was cleaning his dressers. His mother needed some paerwork so Brooke was looking for it. She remembered Lucas teasing her but he couldn't have been for real. Sure enough when she popped the lid there it was. There was a note attched to the bottom and she read over it. 'I knew youcouldn't resist looking. Say yes already and be with me forever. Love Lucas' She had put the ring on that day and vowed to forever be only his, even though he was no longer here.
"I can't do this,"Brooke cried exhausted as she fell back onto the bed and wiped the sweat off her forehead. She had been in labor for hours and she felt like she was dying. "I'm too tired. I want Lucas," she said as she grabbed Nathan's hand. "Please Nathan, I'll do anything just give me Lucas," she begged as another contraction hit. It was hours of her crying and begging for Lucas while Haley and Nathan sat by and could do nothing but try to comfort her.
"Brooke you are now mother to a beautiful baby boy," the doctor said handing her, her baby boy. She cried as she looked down and her baby looked back up at her. His fathers eyes looked back at her and she could do nothing but hold the tiny life they created.
The first time he crawled, his first step, his first birthday, the first tooth lost. Every single one of the things she knew Lucas would never experience raced through her mind as he son babbled to his daddies grave.
Brooke woke up in a cold sweat. This couldn't be true. Lucas didn't die and she didn't have a baby all by herself. She glanced at her finger and sure enough there was a ring there. The same ring from the dream…but it wasn't a dream. It's called reality and as Brooke hears her son in the kitchen she jumps up. She glances at the alarm clock and sees that it is a little after seven. It was time for his breakfast. She rubs her hands over her tired face and pushes herself to get out of bed.
She opens the door and walks almost zombie like to the kitchen. She opens the fridge to grab his juice and hears Cam giggle behind her. She smiles as she turns around then drops the juice that is in her hand. She walks over to Cam on top of the counter and grabs Lucas's arm. This isn't real she keeps telling herself as she brings her hand up to his face and runs her fingers through his hair.
And forever, for the rest of my life
Through it all girl I'll be right by your side
I'll give my heart baby I'll give you my mind
I'll be the one that brings the joy to your life
And if you're willing girl just give me the chance
And I promise I will be a good man
And forever, for the rest of my life
I'll be right by your side
Lucas looks at her as if she has three heads. She is acting really weird this morning and right now as he watches the tears form in her eyes, his worry intensifies. "Baby are you okay," he asks as he pulls his son to his hip and runs his free hand along her cheek.
"You're real," she says as she pulls him as close to her as she can. She feels him laugh beneath her and tell Cam that mommy is a little crazy today.
"You sure you're okay Pretty Girl," he asks as she smiles and goes to pick up the juice. She looks over her shoulder and throws him a smile that melts his heart. "I'm perfect."
Lucas puts Cam on the ground and runs his fingers through his hair before the little version of himself races to the living room to watch cartoons. Lucas chuckles slightly and then makes his way over to his beautiful wife at the sink. His arms snake around her waist and he buries his head in her hair that's falling over her neck. "You really are perfect baby," he says as he inches his hands upwards.
"Lucas stop," she giggles as he runs his hands over her.
"I have a late night tonight with the premiere. You going to miss me," he asked as he spun her around and kissed her roughly. He loved his wife and son and had gone to great lengths to keep them relatively sheltered, but still being able to do the job he loved.
She pulled away out of breath and ran her hands over his covered chest. "Of couse we're going to miss you," she said as she pulled him in for another kiss. She stopped just before if got heated as Cam came back in the room.
"Eww mommy. What are you and daddy doing," he asked as he made his way up to them. He squealed when Lucas picked him up and tickled him.
"Mommy was just telling me how much you guys will miss me tonight," he said as he gave his son a quick kiss on the cheek. "So you have to take care of your mommy while I'm not home," Lucas told Cam. Cam liked to think that he was a grown up so Lucas would give him special jobs to make him happy. Cam leaned down and placed his hands on Brooke's belly. "And my sister daddy," he said and gave Lucas an a look like he was dumb for forgetting that part. He definitely got that from Brooke!
Lucas laughed as he ran his free hand along Brooke's belly. "You take care of your mommy and your sister while I'm not home, how could I be so silly to forget that?"
I never thought that it could happen to me
that I could fall in love
I can't beieve it baby but I can see that you're
you are the only one I'm thinkin' of
It doesn't matter baby I don't really care no more
as long as we're together
Baby I'll be right there, I won't go nowhere
I want your love forever
Okay so I think this is it. I was originally going to end this on a very sad note but I didn't think too many people would be happy with me so I ended it with a mix. I feel like I missed stuff I wanted to add but I'm not sure. Let me know what you thought and to those of you who stuck by this story thank you so much. You inspired and motivated my lazy ass to continue! So thank you, especially DarkBrownEyes03, Dani OTH, BDavisRules, and dianehermans!
