Chapter 5 - Brooke and Lucas Part 1
As she there staring out the window as the plane descended in Tree Hill Airport. She was brought out of her trance by the small sigh from the person next to her. Brooke ran her hand through the little boy's hair as he continued to sleep. The plane landed and passengers began to exit the plane. She picks up the little boy and settles his head on her shoulder allowing him to continue to sleep. Scanning the airport looking for Haley she spots Nathan and begins walking toward him.
"Hey Hot Shot," she said as she moved to stand in front of him.
"Hey Davis." he replied as he touched the little boy who was resting on his mother.
"Where's Haley?" she questioned.
The two of them began walking toward the entrance of the airport. Nathan glanced at Brooke and said, "She's in the car."
Brooke nodded her head as they continued to the car. She placed her young son in the car seat that Nathan and Haley used for Jamie. Brooke climbed in the backseat and buckled herself in.
"So have you guys seen Luke today?" she questioned.
"We saw him early today. He can't wait to see you, Tigger." Haley replied.
"I figured I would go and see him tomorrow that way we have enough time to talk to one another," she said.
"So are you staying with us Davis?" Nathan asked.
"No. Karen and Keith wanted me to stay with them so they could spend sometime with their grandson," she answered. Nathan nodded his head. " So how is Lucas really?" she questioned.
Haley sighed and said, " When he first woke up he was talking crazy."
"What do you mean?" Brooke asked.
Haley turned in her seat to talk to Brooke. "He was saying how you were married to this guy named Julian and had twins," Brooke raised her eyebrow at that as Haley continued, " Nathan and I apparently had another child. He was married to Peyton and they had a kid but he was moving back to Tree Hill to because they were getting a divorce. The big thing was that he thought that Keith was dead.
"Wow. That is some insane dream. I bet he was shock to find out Keith was alive," she stated.
Haley nodded her head in agreement. "As much as he has missed in the past two years. I think he is happy about the world he is in now instead of the world he created in his mind.
"Yeah," Brooke said somewhat somberly.
Haley looked at her friend and said, " I know what your thinking just because in his dream he married Peyton doesn't mean he has some harbored feelings for her. Besides he divorced her also in his dream and was moving back home to where you were." Haley replied.
Brooke just nodded her head as Haley spoke again, " I can't believe though he dreamt he had a child." Haley laughed.
"Yeah." she paused. "So did you tell him he actually has a kid but not with Peyton," she said as she let out a small laugh.
Haley shook her head no and said, " I told him you didn't have any children. I figured you might want to ease him into the idea of fatherhood. Being that he has missed out of two years of his son's life.
Brooke just nodded her head at the statement. They pulled up to Karen's and Keith's house and exited the car. Karen was outside the house as soon as she saw the car pull up. Brooke walked up and embraced the older women.
"It's so good to have you home," Karen said.
"It's good to be home. Especially since we got something that we have been waiting two years for ," Brooke replied with a smile.
Nathan saw that Brooke and Karen were in a deep conversation with Haley making her way over to join the duo. So he moved to grab his nephew from the backseat and make is way to the house. He passed the women who were laughing and talking as they trailed behind him and entered the house. Keith directed Nathan to the guest room where he could lay the boy down. They moved out of the room silently and joined the women in the living room. They all talked for a couple of hours until Nathan and Haley said they had to head home and relieve the babysitter. Brooke turned in not long after Nathan and Haley. She tossed and turned for a while as she let the nervous over seeing Lucas again way on her mind. Brooke turned to lay on her side and watched the little boy who looked so much like his father sleep. She found herself running her hand lazily through his hair as she thought about the boy who she was in love with. Her eyes finally began to shut as mind began dreaming dreams of Lucas.
Brooke arrived at the hospital just in time for visiting hours to began. She walked into his room and found him asleep. Making her way over to the bed she pulled the near-by chair close to the bed and sat down. She began to gently stroke his hair as she had done many times before in the past two years and the tears began slowly to build up in her eyes.
Lucas's eyes began to open at the feel of some hands running through his hair. He looked around to find the culprit who figured to be his mom or Haley but was surprised when he saw the brunette who had been evading his thoughts.
"Pretty Girl," he said with a smile.
The sound of his voice had been something that she had been waiting to hear ever since they said he was in a coma. Hearing him call her Pretty Girl just released the tears that she had at bay.
Lucas saw Brooke began to cry and move so he could comfort her and said, " Pretty Girl, please don't cry." as he wiped the tears from her face.
Brooke finally calmed down enough so she could speak. As soon as she did Lucas placed a chaste kiss on her lips. "I have missed you so much," she replied.
"I missed you too. I've been wondering where you have been," he said.
Brooke got a somber look on her face and replied, "There's a lot we need to talk about."
He looked at her face and said, "Sounds serious."
"It is. I guess I should start with what happened after you were brought out of the school. Keith found you and Peyton on the floor in the hallway," she paused as the tears began to build. She cleared her thought and continued, "When he found you guys you were barley breathing and Peyton," she paused again, "She lost too much blood Lucas. She died in the hallway."
Lucas sat there in a state of shock at what Brooke just told him Peyton was dead. Hearing Brooke sobbing brought him out of his shock as he pulled her into his arms and let her cry. Lucas sat there holding Brooke with silent tears falling from his eyes. He had lost a friend but Brooke had lost her best friend and he hadn't been there to comfort her and that is what had hurt him the most. Brooke and Lucas lay in his bed crying for the friend they had lost and they both eventually let the exhaustion that came over them takeover and fell asleep.
A/N: Decided to break their talk into parts. Next chapter Lucas finds out about his son and what's been going on in Brooke's life. Please Review :) Thanks.
