The past few months had been an adjustment for Brooke and Lucas, so they decided it was time for them to get away from Tree Hill for a while and bond as a family.

They decided to head to New York since Brooke already had a place their and Noah loved to visit there.

While Lucas and Noah were at home packing she was going over details about the store with Millie. Millie had been a godsend when she started working at Clothe's Over Bro's as Brooke's assistant. The two became fast friends and when Brooke decided to open up the store in Tree Hill Millie was with her every step of the way.

"So I'll be gone for a couple of weeks I already did the schedule so you don't have to worry about that. There is going to be a shipment coming in Friday..." Brooke said as her voice began to trail off and she glanced at her list of things to do before she left.

Millie interrupted her thoughts and said, "Everything is going to be fine Brooke we have been over the list several times. You know I do know how to run the store right?" she questioned jokingly.

Brooke snapped out if her thoughts and said, "Of course I know that. I'm just nervous and I don't why. I just have this feeling like something bad is going to happen."

Millie placed her hand on Brooke's shoulder and said, "Nothing bad is going to happen. You are going to enjoy these two weeks away with that gorgeous boyfriend of yours and that wonderful little boy."

"Your right, everything is fine. Victoria is out of the company, the designs for the new line are finished and safe in my office here and I have the family I always wanted." Brooke said with the biggest smile on her face.

"Now that my minor freak out is over I have some time for girl talk before Lucas comes to pick me up. I hear that someone had as a date with a certain news intern." Brooke said with a knowing smile as they sat on the couch.

Millie blushed and said, "Yes Marvin and I have a date tonight, which is why I told you that I'm closing up early tonight."

The two gab more about the date and anything else that came mind while Brooke waited for Noah and Lucas.

Lucas had packed the car and he was headed to his mother's house to say goodbye. Noah was in the backseat singing along to the kid's songs on the radio. Lucas chuckled as his son sang and he tried to make out the words Noah was singing.

A few minutes later they pulled up to the house and got out. Lucas unbuckled Noah from the backseat and made his way to the front door. He rang the bell and few seconds later Keith answered the door.

"Well if it isn't my son and my grandson, "he said with a smile as he opened door wider so they could come in.

"Hi Papaw," Noah said with a smile.

"Hey buddy," Keith replied as he took Noah out of Lucas's arms.

"So where's mom at?" Lucas questioned.

Keith was walking ahead of Lucas and turns his head slightly and replied, "She's in the kitchen making Lily a snack."

Lucas nodded his head and followed him into the kitchen. Keith place Noah in the chair next to Lily as Karen but the snack she made for Lily on the table.

She leaned over and placed a kiss on his forehead and said, "Hi sweetheart."

Noah looked up and said, "Hi, Nana. Me have some," he replied pointing to the snack Lily was eating.

The adults laugh as Karen relied, "Yes nana's boy can have some."

"Do I get any love?" Lucas questioned with a smile.

"Of course my boy," she said as she hugged him. "I'm going to miss you."

Lucas let out a small chuckle and said, "We are only going to be gone for two weeks, ma."

"I know but we just got back and now your leaving," she waves a hand in front of her face to stop the tears "Don't mind me I'm just being a little crazy."

Lucas lets out a chuckle and says, "Just a little. Mom everything is going to be fine we will be back before you know it. We just need this time for us."

"I know. I love you and give Brooke my love and we will see you when you get back." Karen says as she hugs her son.

Lucas picks Noah up from his seat and tells him say goodbye.

"Bye bye miss you." Noah replies.

"Bye my sweet boy," Karen's says as the two head out the door.

Lucas pulled up outside of Clothes Over Bros. He grabbed Noah from the backseat and walked to the door. Through the window he could see the two girls laughing and having a good time. He stared at Brooke as she laughed whole heartily and her head tip back. The only word that came to his mind was beautiful.

Lucas was brought out of his admiration of Brooke by his son, "Daddy, Daddy we see Mama?" Noah questioned.

"Yea buddy we go see Mama," he said as pulled the door opened.

The women were brought out of their conversation by the ding of the door signaling that someone entered the store. Brooke lit up at her two favorite men entering the store.

"Mama," Noah shouted as Lucas let him down so he could run to her.

Brooke grabbed him up and placed a kiss on his cheek and said, "Hi, handsome."

Lucas took in the moment of watching his girlfriend and son before he made his way over to them. "Hey Pretty Girl," he said as he greeted Brooke and placed a lingering kiss in her lips.

When they finally broke apart Brooke said, "Hey Broody. You ready to go?"

"Yup the car's all packed. We are ready whenever you are," Lucas replied.

"Okay...ummm I think we covered everything," Brooke said as she turned her attention to Millie.

"Brooke everything's ok," she said as she pushed them toward the door, "You just go and enjoy your vacation."

"Ok, but if anything happens call me," Brooke replied.

"I've got it all under control," Millie said as they headed out the door.

Lucas turned around be for he left the store and said, "Thanks Millie for taking care of everything here."

"You're welcome," she said as she closed the door behind them.

They finally made it to New York and now they were in a cab headed to the penthouse that Brooke kept for when she visited the city. The cab pulled to the front of the building. Brooke exited the cab with Noah nestled in her arms while Lucas grabbed the bags. As they entered the penthouse Brooke went into Noah's room to lay him down while Lucas but the bags in the room.

When she arrived back in the living room and Lucas had set up a few candles and got a bottle of wine out for them. She took off her shoes and joined her boyfriend on the couch.

"Alone at last," Lucas says as places a kiss to the side of Brooke's head.

Brooke lets out a small laugh as she kisses Lucas on the lips. The kiss quickly becomes heated as he begins to lower her down on the couch.

"Ummmm...maybe we should move this to the bedroom...before your son decides to come in the living room," Brooke says as Lucas trails kisses down her neck.

Lucas nods he's head in response but makes no move to stop what he is doing.

"I'm serious Broody," she says with a smile on face as she pushes him off her.

"Okay, okay," he says as he follows her to the room. He places his hands around her waist and he dips his head and begins his earlier actions in her neck. Brooke lets out a soft moan at his actions.

They make to the room and fall onto the bed. Their kisses become more heated as the two began a night of love making.
