Chapter 13 -
It was the twins birthday party later today, Brooke was getting everything ready for her daughter's day. April was already up waiting for her sister in her pink pj's. October ran down the stairs and over to April.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" They both shouted at the same time
"Happy birthday princesses" Brooke walked into the kitchen and smiled "These are for you"
Brooke pointed at two piles of presents in the living room
"Thanks mom" Both girls ran to their presents and began opening them
"Girls, these are for now, but the rest are for the party" Brooke sat on the settee and watched
Both girls got a new phone, a new outfit for the party, a new camera. April got a pink laptop and October got a purple notebook which they both wanted.
"Thanks mom" April screamed then hugged her mom and so did October
"So girls what you going to do before tonight?" Brooke asked
"Well Kieran and Reece wanted to meet up with us" October replied
"Oh okay, so you go and meet your boyfriends and I'll get everything ready for your party" Brooke said sarcastically
"Did you want us to help you prepare mom" April felt guilty
"Well if you don't mind" Brooke got up and walks into the kitchen
"Nah of course we don't, do we October?" April looked at her sister
"Okay how about, we call the guys and ask them to come over and help?" October sat up and followed her mom into the kitchen
"Yeah that can work" Brooke smiled at her girls "Go call your guys"
April and October ran up stairs to get their old phones to change everything to their new phones. April ran to her room and October ran to hers. April got dressed into casual clothes until later on then she would change into her party cloths, October did the same. April grabbed her phone and texted Reece, she said: Hey Reece, I was wondering if you wanted to come over mine and help get everything ready for the party tonight. I know you wanted to meet up, but I feel bad letting my mum do everything when it is my party. A x. April sat on her makeup table and began brushing her hair when she got a reply which read: No problem baby girl and yes I would love to help you and your mum get ready for your party tonight; I'll be over in 10 minutes. R x. April smiled when she got the texted and skipped down stairs when he had finished her hair.

October was in her room getting dressed, she needed to text Kieran about changing their plans and she needs to change over her sim to her new phone. October got dressed then grabbed her phone and changed over her sim so she could text her boyfriend. When October finished changing sims, she opened a message and began to text Kieran she wrote: Hey K, I know you wanted to meet up because it's my birthday, but I have to help get ready for my party this evening. I would feel really guilty if my mum, sister or Reece done everything. I was wondering if you would come and help instead and we could spend time then. Love you always October xoxoxo. October pressed send then waited for a reply, she was doing her hair when she got a text back from Kieran; it read: Hey beautiful, yeah I'll come over and help; it would be fun. Don't worry about meeting up. I'll be at your place in 10 minutes. See you soon and I love you too. K xoxoxo. October smiled at run down stairs to start on the party

Brooke was in the garden putting up the pink and purple birthday Gazebo she brought. April was in the garden waiting for Reece to turn up and October was sitting on the couch waiting for Kieran to turn up. The bell went; October got up and went to answer the door. Reece was standing there with two presents in his hand with a smile on his face.
"Happy birthday October" Reece hugged October then stood back
"Thanks Reece, April your boyfriend is here" October shouted
April ran to the door and jumped into Reece's arms "Hey baby" Reece kissed April lightly on the lips
"Hey beautiful" Reece put April down and smiled at her "So can I come in or we gonna stand here smiling at each other for hours"
"Oh yeah, come in" April grabbed Reece's hand and led him into the garden where Brooke was
"Hey Reece" Brooke smiled while putting pink and purple balloons "You here to help?"
"Hey Miss Davis, yeah I'm here if you want me to help" Reece put down the presents and cards
"Okay then if you don't mind would you and April put those banners up for me please" Brooke pointed to the banners on the bench "They could go on the front door, in the front room and two in the garden"
"Yeah of course we can Miss Davis, come one A" Reece picked up the banners and took April's hands
"Thanks Reece and April" Brooke replied
..................................................................................................................................................................
It was 5:00 Haley, Jamie and Nathan turned up an hour ago to help Brooke set up the food and drink. April and October were just coming down the stairs.
"Happy birthday girlies" Haley walked over and hugged both girls
"Hey Auntie H" Both girls said at the same time "Hey J, Uncle Nate"
"Happy birthday girls" Nathan gave the girls there presents
"Thanks guys" April put her present down and so did October
"So when the party starting?" Jamie asked then the bell rang
"Now" Brooke smiled
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
One after the other people was arriving for the twin's birthday party. April and October were in the garden with Reece, Kieran, Jamie and his girlfriend Sabrina. Lilly still wasn't invited because Lucas decided to butt out and the twins uninvited her. Brooke was talking to Haley over near the chairs. Megan was talking to Rion. Amy and Holly turned up and realised Lilly wasn't there.
"April, October where's Lilly?" Holly asked
"We uninvited her" April replied
"Oh because she rang us yesterday and told us that you re invited her" Amy looked confused
"Well she was wrong because as you can see that little toe rag isn't here" October told both girls
"Oh okay sorry" Amy and Holly turned around and walked away
"Yeah that's what I thought" both twins said at the same time
April and October went back to their conversation with the guys and Sabrina "So how you enjoying your birthday girls?" Jamie asked
"It is fantastic, I love it. I can't believe I'm 17 already" April answered first
"Yeah it's great huh sis?" October laughed "I love this party too. Mum done well again this year"
"Yeah she sure did" April looked around the party
..................................................................................................................................................................
Lucas was getting ready to go and confront Brooke at the girl's birthday party, he wanted to tell Brooke something and he can't wait. He grabs the girl's presents and cards then leaves for his car. It has been nearly 24 hours since he broke up with Peyton and he needed to tell Brooke now. He got to Brooke's house and could hear all the commotion coming from the garden. Lucas walked around the back and entered through the gate. No one had notice Lucas; Lucas walked over to his daughters; he coughed so they would notice him.
"Dad what are you doing here? I thought mum uninvited you" April was so surprised to see her dad
"She did, but she doesn't know I'm here yet" Lucas confirmed "Anyway October this is for you and April this one is for you" Lucas gave the presents to his daughters and smiled
"Thanks dad" They both shouted and hugged him tight
"You're welcome, I'm now going to find your mum" Lucas hugged and kissed the girls on the forehead one last time before going to find Brooke.
Brooke was in the kitchen getting another drink for her and Haley, plus Megan and Rion wanted one. Brooke opened the fridge to get the soft drinks out. She closed the fridge and saw Lucas standing there with a faint smile on his face.
Brooke moved to the counter to put the drink down before she drop it "Lucas what are you doing here? I thought I banned you from the party"
"I know you banned me and I don't care Brooke. I need to tell you something and I need to do it now before I lose my mind" Lucas told Brooke
"Okay Lucas, what is it?" Brooke sighed
"I want you back, I need you and the girls back in my life for good" Lucas explained to Brooke
"What about Peyton?" Brooke could just about get out
"She's gone; I broke up with her last night. Brooke I want you not her and I finally realised that" Lucas cupped Brooke's face in his hands "Why me and why now?"
"Because I love you Brooke and I always have. I was confused and stupid. I need you Brooke. You complete my heart" Lucas confessed "I want to be a family with you"
Brooke looked into Lucas's eyes and was remembering all the good times they had and how happy she was to find out about being pregnant with his babies and having twins. Brooke wanted him back she wanted to make sure before she made the decision. Brooke was thinking about why she wanted him back then she got a flash back to the first time they met.
Flash back
It was the first day of senior year, Brooke was the rich cute beautiful attractive young brunette and Lucas was the new kid her was very adorable healthy handsome young boy. They met when Brooke was feeling down one day because her parents had rang her in the morning to tell her that they can't come and visit her again because they had a very important meeting. Brooke cried for hours before she turned up at school. Lucas was new and he just got on the basketball team and he always noticed Brooke; he was secretly crushing on Brooke and no one knew that except from his best friend Haley James. Then Brooke walked into the gym at practice and Lucas knew straight away that there was something upsetting her, he could see it in her face. He ran up to her and tapped her on the shoulder; she turned around and smiled when she saw him standing in front of her.
"May I help you?" Brooke asked
"Yeah actually you can" Lucas smiled "You could go for something to eat with me after school today?"
"And what makes you think I would want to?" Brooke was now flirting with him
"Because you need cheering up and I think I could do that" Lucas walked around Brooke and put his chin on her shoulder
"Okay, but first you need to tell me your name Mr. Hot shot" Brooke turned and looked at him
"Lucas Scott" Lucas introduced himself
"Well hello Lucas, I am bro..." Brooke got cut off
"Brooke Davis, I know who you are" Lucas smirked
"Really" Brooke gave her famous dimple smile
"Yeah I do and by the way I love your smile" Lucas turned to walk away
"Wait one minute Mr. Hot shot, you driving or am i?" Brooke questioned
"I will unless you wanna drive" Lucas smiled again
"Nah you can, pick me up at mine an hour after school" Brooke un did her jacket
"Okay, see you them pretty girl" Lucas turned and ran to his team
"Yep see you then Broody" Brooke smiled and turned to her squad
End of flashback
Brooke came back from her flashback and was still looking at Lucas
"Brooke are you okay? Brooke, earth to Brooke" Lucas was waving his hand in front of her
"Yeah I'm fine I was just remembering all the happy days we had and when we first met" Brooke told Lucas
"They were good times and I would like to make some more with you" Lucas pleaded
"I need to think about this Luke, I can't just say yes. I need to run this through the girls and think for myself too" Brooke poured the drinks for everyone who asked for one then circled around Lucas "Give me time Luke"
"Okay Brooke, I love you and I can wait for you, I don't care how long it will be" Lucas turned to face Brooke "And if you give me another chance I will not mess up again"
Brooke left the kitchen and went back to Haley
..................................................................................................................................................................
Haley was sitting in the garden waiting for Brooke to bring her drink. Brooke placed Megan and Rion's drink on the table then walked over to where Haley was sitting. Brooke places both glasses of red wine onto the table next to Haley and sat down.
"What took you so long? I was gonna die of thirst" Haley joked
"Oh Lucas turned up and cornered me in the kitchen" Brooke sipped her drink
"Oh really, what did he want?" Haley asked
"He wants me back and he was telling me why and stuff" Brooke looked at the door which entered to the kitchen and saw Lucas standing in the door frame looking at her; she looked away and sighed
"And you said what?" Haley was eager to know everything
"I said that I need to think about it and I need to talk to the girls too" Brooke replied "I can't take him back without discussing this with the girl. It doesn't matter how much I want him"
"I knew it, I knew it when you first came bk. I knew you wanted him all along you were just too stubborn and scared to admit it" Haley laughed
"What are you talking about Hales?" Brooke looked really confused
"You just admitted it Brooke. You finally admitted that you want Lucas back" Haley responded "I am so happy you admitted it, know go and get your man"
"Fine okay yeah I admitted it, but I can't just go up to him and kiss him in front of everyone especially at the girl's party" Brooke looked back at Lucas who was now standing near a table
"Yes you can and the girl's won't mind, I promise Brooke. Just go" Haley pointed for Brooke to go.
Brooke stood up and began to walk across the garden to Lucas 'Be calm Brooke, you want him and you need to admit it to yourself before you kiss him' Brooke was thinking. Brooke reached Lucas. Lucas cocked his head towards Brooke and smiled "Hey Brooke"
"Hey Luke, I need to do something and I need to do it now" Brooke looked at Haley, who waved her hands for Brooke to make the move
"Okay and that is?" Lucas asked wondering
"This" Brooke leaned in and kissed Lucas softly on the lips, everyone stopped and looked at Brooke and Lucas kissing. Lucas pulled away for a second
"What the hell Brooke? Are you sure about this?" Lucas was surprised and relieved at the same time
"Yeah I'm sure" Brooke bit her lips a little and kissed Lucas again.
"Mom, dad what does this mean?" October asked running to them
"I don't know yet, but when I do I'll let you know" Brooke giggled
"I know what this is. This means where together again" Lucas kissed Brooke one last time
"You are wow, how cool is this" April jumped up and down, then she stopped all of a sudden "Wait on dame minute, how we know you won't break up and ruin everything?"
"You don't and neither do we, so what were going to have to do is see what happens" Brooke smiled at her two daughters
"Is this our big birthday present you got us mom?" October asked
"Nah and plus the surprise is for both of you separately" Brooke laughed "There actually in the garage now"
"OMG you got us a car each didn't you" April squealed "You are the best ever mom"
"Yeah I did get you two cars, but you have to promise me that you will continue to do well at school and try to be nice to Lilly" Brooke looked at Lucas who smiled a thank you
"We'll try, no promises mom" Both girls squealed
"Okay well go and see your cars than gir-"Brooke got cut off by a surprise visit
"Well, well, well" Peyton walked into the garden clapping "If it isn't Mr. Scott and his true love"
"Peyton what are you doing here?" Brooke sighed
"I wanted to reveal something to you, you did still Lucas from and all" Peyton slurred
"Wait on second Miss Drama queen. You stole Lucas first and then you were a bitch to my daughters. So don't you tell me that I stole him from you" Brooke informed Peyton
"Peyton are you drunk?" Lucas asked
"And so what if I was?" Peyton's eyes were going glazy
"I think you should go home now" Lucas told Peyton "Don't you think?"
"No I don't Luke. Anyway I'm here with my lover" Peyton smirked at Brooke
"What are you smirking at me for you drunken bitch" Brooke looked at Peyton then looked away
"Because what you're about to see is going to give me some frill" Peyton smiled
"Oh and what is that?" Peyton pointed to the man who just came around the corner
"Peyton babe, I'm coming" the guy called out
Brooke knew that voice, she was hoping it wasn't. The guy walked into the garden and everyone looked at him with hate in their eyes "OMG Chase" Chase looked at Brooke then at Lucas
"I see you got your guy who wanted then?" Chase ignored the fact that his at April's and October's party
"OMG Chase" Brooke repeated "What the hell"
Chase finally realised what was going on when Brooke talked "Oh Brooke I'm so sorry, it was a lonely thing and I figured out you wanted Lucas all this time" Chase tried to defend himself.
"When" Brooke came out of Lucas's grasp and slowly took two steps toward Chase with tears in her eyes
"Brooke please" Chase begged while Peyton laughed
"Aww is poor miss perfect hurt all over again?" Peyton slurred
"I SAID WHEN" Brooke shouted ignoring Peyton completely
"A month before I left for y new job" Chase admitted
"This is unbelievable" Haley yelled "Peyton do you just love to screw Brooke's life up all the time?"
"Yeah actually I do, she can never forgive me so I can never stop hurting her" Peyton looked at Haley when she answered the question "I love it"
Brooke turned her head to Peyton and she has never hated someone has much as she hates Peyton right now. Yeah she didn't like Peyton for what she did with Lucas, but now she took Brooke over board and Brooke has finally become to hate Peyton. Brooke walked over to Peyton knowing everyone was watching.
"I hate you" Brooke felt like she mouthed the words because she couldn't hear herself say them "You come to my home drunk out of your head in the middle of my daughters party to tell me you have been sleeping with my husband before we got divorced to hurt me for taking Lucas back. That is low even for you Peyton"
"Yeah I did and did I hurt you all over again Brooke?" Peyton asked
"I have Lucas and really I had him even when he was with you. I love Lucas and always have; Chase was just a rebound even if I did marry him. Lucas is mine Peyton so build a bridge and gets over it" Brooke wiped the tear away "So yeah you hurt me, but just for a second because I've realised something"
"And what is that?" Peyton asked
"That I have Lucas and you don't" Lucas turned and looked at Lucas
Lucas walked up behind Brooke and put his hands around her waist. Brooke smiled.
"NOW GET OUT OF MY HOUSE BEFORE I THROW YOU OUT" Brooke shouted
"I'm going and for the record Brooke, we were never friends" Peyton smirked
"I know we weren't because a real friend don't do what you did" Brooke replied "NOW GO, oh and take Chase with you"
Chase put the girls presents down and left with Peyton. Brooke turned to her girls and smiled "I am so sorry for them ruining your birthday girls"
"She didn't mom, this is the best birthday ever. Do you want to know why?" April told Brooke
"Why baby girl?" Brooke asked back
"Because my parents just got back together after 17 years" April shrieked
"Yeah totally the best birthday ever" October agreed
"Aww thank you girls" Brooke kissed both girls on the cheek
..................................................................................................................................................................
The party was over; April, October and Sabrina were sitting in the garden still with Reece, Kieran and Jamie talking and laughing. Sabrina is staying at April's and October's house for the night. Brooke was tidying up the mess with Lucas, Haley and Nathan.
"Good birthday huh?" Reece asked both girls
"Yeah brilliant even thought Peytwhore tried to ruin it" April smiled and October nodded agreeing with her sister
"So your parents are back together then?" Jamie asked surprised "I thought they would never get back together; it's about time they did"
"Tell me about it" October agreed
"So what are we doing tomorrow?" Sabrina asked "We have to do something before school on Monday"
"I was thinking we could go to the fair , one of us could drive" April smiled at her sister
"Wait so that means where all driving except from Jamie who needs a car" Reece laughed along with Kieran
"Yeah dad said he'll buy me one for my birthday" Jamie piped up "Anyway are we going to the fair or not" April stood up and went to sit on her boyfriends lap
"Yeah okay, we'll go to the fair then" Reece nodded along with the rest
Brooke was cleaning around where the 3 girls and 3 boys were sitting "So what's that I hear? You want to go fair tomorrow" Brooke looked up at Lucas who shrugged "I guess you can, your old enough I suppose"
"Thanks mom" April squealed "Fair here we come"
It was getting late, so Reece and Kieran left early to get home and Jamie left with his parents. April went up stairs to get her PJ's on and so did October, and then both girls sat with their mom and dad on the couch in the living room.
"Thank you so much mom" April whispered
"What for girlie?" Brooke asked a bit confused
"For letting dad back into your life, I know it must of hurt, but you still let him in and for that we are totally grateful" April looked up at her mom with a smile
"I totally agree with A mom" October nodded
Lucas looked at Brooke and smiled "Girls I'm glad we're all here together, but you have to realise this is only the beginning and we need to work other things out"
"We now dad, the thing is I'm just so excited and I can't wait for you to move in" October looked at her sister
"Hold on minute girls, we never said anything about your dad moving in. We just got back together 7 hours ago and I need to register all this before we go any further" Brooke explained trying not to upset anyone
"Your mom is right, we have to slow down a bit" Lucas stood up to leave "Which is why I'm going to go home and let you girls get some sleep"
"Dad you don't have to go really" April stood up and looked worried
"Yea A is right, you don't need to leave dad. Please don't leave" October also stood up
"Girls I have to leave to go to my mom's anyway to tell her the news and Lilly. So I'll see you at school on Monday since you're going out tomorrow with the guys and Sabrina" Lucas told the girls while looking at Brooke.
"Okay fine, we'll see you on Monday then" Both girls kissed their dad on the cheek then went up the stairs to their rooms to get ready for bed.
"Okay Luke, why you really leaving?" Brooke asked
"I do have to go and see my mom Brooke, but if you want I can stay" Lucas kissed Brooke softly on the lips
"Nah its okay, but you can always come over tomorrow while the girls are out" Brooke kinked up her eye brows "I would like that"
"Okay I'll do that. See you then pretty girl" Lucas left the house and Brooke slumped back on the couch and smiled to herself.
