Chapter 7 Lucas and Noah

Karen arrived with Noah a little while later and found Brooke and Lucas talking and laughing about old times. As Karen entered the room Lucas's breath caught in his throat at the sight of his son. Karen transfered the little boy into his mother's arm and Brooke turned him in her lap so that he was facing Lucas.

Brooke looked down at her son and said, "Remember how I told you that daddy was sleeping and that one day he would wake up to see you. Well baby he's awake and he's right here," she said as she pointed toward Lucas.

The little boy turned to and said, "I missed you daddy," as leaned forward to give his father a hug.

As Lucas hugged his son tears fell from his eyes and replied, "I missed you too buddy." He looked up at Brooke and his mom who were both crying.

Noah looked up at his dad and said, "No cry. I here now."

Lucas let out a small laugh and said, "Don't worry buddy these are happy tears."

"You go sleep again?" his son questioned with his big blue eyes looking up at his dad.

Lucas shook his head and said, "No Buddy. I'm here to stay with you and you mom."

He looked up at Brooke who had a smile on her face at his words. She watched as father and son interacted with one another and it brought an even bigger smile to her face. She had waited for this moment for years and now that it's here its a dream come true.

Two weeks had past and Lucas had been released from the hospital. He had been spending a lot of time with Brooke and Noah and getting to know them. Today Brooke was leaving to go back to New York for a few days. Victoria had called and demanded that Brooke come back as soon as possibly. She had decided to leave Noah with Lucas so they could continue to bod while she was in New York.

The door bell rang and Lucas got off of the couch in his mom's house to answer the door. Brooke stood outside the door with Noah as the door opened Noah ran and jumped into his father's arms.

"Daddy!" he shouted.

"Hey buddy," he replied. He set his son down as Noah ran into the living room.

"Pretty Girl," he said as he pulled her into his arms and placed a kiss on her lips. Brooke deepened the kiss as moan escaped her mouth. Lucas broke the kiss before it went to far.

"Boyfriend," she replied as she placed another small kiss on his lips. " Are you sure your going to be okay with Noah for a few days?" she questioned.

"Brooke we're going to be fine. You just focus on work and come back home," he said.

"Home," she said with a smile on her face. "I like the sound of that," she replied as she gave him a kiss on the lips. Breaking the kiss she called Noah so she could say good-bye to him.

"Bye mommy I love you," he said as he placed a kiss on her cheek.

"I love you too, handsome. Be good for your dad." she said. Noah nodded his head yes in response.

"Hurry home," Lucas called out to his girlfriend.

Brooke looked back and smile and said, " I will." She gave them one last wave and got in the car.

"So what do you want today?" he asked the little boy who was sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Can we go to the river place?" his son questioned.

Lucas laughed and said, "The Rivercourt?," Noah nodded his head yes. "Ok we can go the Rivercourt."

Lucas grabbed the basketball from his room and they headed down to the court. When they got to the court the engaged into a game of basketball. Lucas would pick Noah up and let him make a basket and the little boy would throw his hands up in the air and cheer.

"Good job little man." Lucas replied.

"I love you, daddy," he said.

Lucas breath caught in his throat. It was the first time he heard his son say I love you and it caught him by surprise.

"I love you too, Noah" Lucas replied with tears in his eyes. The two continued to play and all Lucas could think was this is were he belonged playing basketball with his son. He couldn't wait for Brooke to get back so they could be a real family.
