Hey guys, just a cute filler chapter here. There's actually one more chapter left in this story, but i am doing a sequel so we can all look forward to that. Bold writing is a flashback, and I hope you all enjoy the latest installment of La Bella Vita
Light on my heart
Light on my feet
Light in your eyes
I can't even speak
Do you even know
How you make me weak
"Say bye Mommy, go have some fun and not worry about us." I did in a fake baby voice as I held Bella in my arms when Haley and Nathan were walking towards their car for a night out on their anniversary.
"You sure you're going to be ok with her?" Haley stopped while Nathan continued to the car.
"Of course, now go. I'm gonna cook some dinner and we'll watch a movie…total girls night."
"Ok, we'll there's money for pizza on the counter and not too late with bed."
"Don't worry we won't." I said with a coy smile.
"B, I'm serious. Its just dinner and a show, we shouldn't be back too late."
"I know…and we'll be ok. I'm going to spend the night here anyway. Go, before you're late."
"Just one more kiss." She leaned in and kissed the baby one more time, but the teasing on my part had to happen to just one last time.
"Enjoy the show Mommy, don't forget I want a baby brother too." I couldn't control myself and started cracking up laughing.
"I'm going to kill you Tig…just one day it's gonna happen."
"Ya ya ya." I still was smiling even as I closed the door.
I put Bella in her high chair and started making something to eat for her. Strained peas and other vegetables…yummy. I wasn't very hungry, so I'll just whip something up quickly later when I am. Feeding her didn't take as long as I thought it would. I moved us into the living room, so we can put in a movie…Pitch Perfect. Bella was all set up in her pram, while I was back in the kitchen making popcorn, when I felt my phone vibrate in my back pocket. I started laughing to myself, thinking it's gotta be Haley just checking in, but instead it was a text from my man asking me if I wanted to Skype right now. I quickly responded yes and grabbed my laptop from my bag, and put Bella on my lap so she can see too. On an impulse, I covered her eyes…just in case Lucas was going something naughty. I breathed a sigh of relief when it was just his face on the screen and it was G rated; so I pulled my hands away.
"Well this is a much different view than the last time I saw you."
"That's cause you left in the middle of the night and didn't want to wake me up there mister."
"And it's not my fault that I missed my flight, so ha." Lucas said sticking his tongue out at me and the memories from that day flooded back into my mind.
"This is the final boarding call for Flight 1049 nonstop to Tree Hill."
"Alright Pretty Girl, I really have to go this time."
"Ok, just one more kiss goodbye."
"Cheery, it's not like I'm never going to see you again."
"I know…I just want to savor every possible moment we have together, right here right now." The kissing started again, and we couldn't stop. People were constantly moving around us trying to make their own flights, but we didn't have a care in the world. Our kissing got further and further, almost to a full make out session. Families with young children were screaming at us to get a room, but we didn't stop. By the time we did stop, we noticed that Lucas's plane was gone.
"I guess, I'll just have to get the next flight out of here."
"Which is 3 am. We can just go back to my place and wait it out there. I'm sorry you missed your flight Broody."
"Its ok, we have one more night than."
"I still feel so bad for that…you should have woken me up, I could have driven you to the airport."
"You looked peaceful, I didn't want to disturb you."
"Love you."
"Love you too…I see you have the little rugrat tonight."
"Ya, Haley and Nathan's one year anniversary. But its ok, I like spending all this time with her before I leave. Can you say hi to Uncle Lucas Bells?" She mumbled something, I just leaned down, planting a kiss on her forehead causing her to giggle.
"You're good with her."
"Thanks."
"Does it hurt?" I knew exactly what Lucas was referencing.
"Sometimes. Sometimes I picture a mini you running around and interacting with her. Other times, I start thinking about Haley's pregnancy and if mine would be any similar."
"You are a strong girl Brooke Davis; not to mention brilliant, beautiful, and brave. You are fiercely independent and is going to change the world someday." I started to blush.
"Oh, yea and how do you know that?"
"Because you changed mine. And I know that there is this void in our lives were that baby would have been, but now it made us stronger together and able to grow in more ways than one. When we do actually try to have a baby, we will be financially stable, living together in the same place, and be over the moon about it all."
"Our two boys and a girl." A slow smile crept to my face.
"Exactly, and there's that smile I love."
"I know…I just can't help but think about it sometimes."
"And its those times I want you to call me."
"Let me just put her to bed and then you can tell me all about your day."
Nathan and Haley waked in the door to find the TV silenced and Brooke sleeping on the couch with her laptop slightly closed on her stomach. They knew exactly what that meant; they looked at each other laughing.
"Lucas." They said at the same time.
