Chapter 14 – The big Decision
Lucas was on his way to his mom's house to reveal the news about him getting back with Brooke. Lucas parked in the drive way and slowly walked up to the door. He knocked once and waited.
"Hey Luke" Lilly answered the door
"Hey Lil, is mom here?" Lucas asked
"Yeah. MOM" Lilly shouted "Lucas is here"
Karen came from the kitchen and smiled when she saw Lucas standing in the door way.
"Luke, what you doing here?" Karen asked "How was the party, I would have come, but I was busy doing something. Sorry"
"The party was great mom thanks for asking" Lucas replied "I need to tell you guys something"
"Come in and take a seat" Karen walked into the living room and sat down and Lucas sat down after her while Lilly shut the door
"Okay what's wrong Luke?" Karen asked looking worried
Lilly sat down and waited for Lucas to start talking
"Okay well Brooke and I are back together, which means Peyton and I are over" Lucas explained
"That is so great Luke, I love Brooke and the girls and I'm glad you're working things out" Karen hugged Lucas and looked at her daughter who had anger in her eyes
"What the hell Lucas? Why would you dump Peyton for that bitch" Lilly yelled "You know I don't get on with them brats you call your kids. You and Peyton could have been happy together"
"No Lilly we weren't happy and we would never have been happy. You have to work things out with the girls because your there auntie and were all family whether you like it or not" Lucas told Lilly
"Fine I'll try, but no promises" Lilly stomped off and went to her room
"She'll be okay" Karen sighed

It was round about 10:00 next morning Brooke walked into Haley's house and slumped onto the couch. Haley poured two glasses of wine and sat down next to Brooke. The twins were at home getting ready to go out.
"So what's the problem Brooke" Haley asked
"I don't know, I love him and always have, it's just going to fast" Brooke replied
"What did he say when we left?" Haley questioned
"He was meant to come back, but we called it a night and decided to talk today when the girl left for the fair with Jamie and the others, plus there staying at Sabrina's tonight. When he left he said that we can take it slow and not rush into things" Brooke responded
"Well then, I don't see the problem" Haley smiled
"Okay fine I'll admit it there isn't a problem I'm just scared" Brooke looked at Haley
"Talk to him and explain all this to him" Brooke nodded then sighed "Brooke"
"Yeah Hales" Brooke piped up
"What you still doing here?" Haley turned her head to Brooke
"Oh right, thanks for the wine. Bye" Haley laughed
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………April and October were getting ready with Sabrina. The boys said that they wanted to hang at the mall before they go to the fair. April was putting on her makeup while October was in the bathroom having a quick wash and Sabrina was already done; sitting downstairs watching TV waiting for the girls. Sabrina looked at the clock it said 1:00 pm the guys would be there soon.
"GIRLS" Sabrina shouted "The guys will be here in 10 minutes"
"Okay were coming down" April ran down the stairs followed by October.
There was a knock on the door at the moment October got to the bottom "I'll get it"
Reece, Kieran and Jamie were standing on the opposite side of the door.
"You girl ready?" Jamie asked
"Yeah, let us just grab our bags and then we'll be with you" April smiled at Reece who then winked at her
The girls ran inside and grabbed their bags "Who's driving?" Reece asked
"I will" October jumped
"Okay you can drive this time" April sulked
October clutched her car keys in her hands and headed to the garage for her car with the others.

Lucas was sitting at the river court, he had texted Brooke that he would be at her house at 7:00. Lucas was at his mom's house most of the day; then he left to have a little think and the best place for him was the river court. Lucas looked out to the sea, it was getting pretty dark and Lucas loved seeing the water glisten when the moon shined on it. The river court was his and Brooke's place to think when they dated in high school before she left for New York. Lucas sat on the bench thinking about everything that has gone on since he knew Brooke was in tree hill. Him finding out he had two daughter, to the girl hating him, to Peyton being pregnant then losing the baby, to Brooke getting divorced and him finally figuring out his true feelings and finally him leaving Peyton to be a family with Brooke. Lucas shook his head at all the drama and then laughed silently to himself. Lucas looked at his watch and saw it was 6:50; he had to be at Brooke's in 10 minutes so he left the river court and walked the 10 minutes to Brooke's house.
..................................................................................................................................................................
The day was nearly over Brooke had been at home deciding what to say to Lucas when he was going to come round and talk. Brooke was sitting in her house waiting for Lucas to come over fro their talk while the girls were out over night. She was a bit nervous because she didn't know what to say to Lucas even though she has it prepared in her head. Brooke had 3 bottles of wine in the fridge and a case of beer. Brooke held up the wine and whispered "Wine says do me" then she held up the case of beer and again whispered "Beer says get to the point"; she then nodded and put the case of beer back into the fridge and opened the bottle of wine getting ready for Lucas when he arrived. It was 6:30 and Brooke was getting more and more anxious when the time was getting nearer. Brooke looked up at the clock; she swore she could hear the chimes of the clock going off and the clock ticking every so often. Lucas had texted her earlier saying he had things to do so he would be at her house at 7:00; so she still had half hour before he would turn up, she needed to think and make sure she wouldn't make any mistakes, so she looked at the wine the wine and poured herself a glass to calm her nerves. Before Brooke knew it 7:00 was around the corner. She had 2 minutes until Lucas would be there to talk and discuss what is going. As soon as the clock hit 7:00 and the three chimes started there was knock at the door. Brooke stood up slowly and paced to the door, she checked herself in the mirror before pushing the door knob down and turning the handle to open the door. Lucas was standing there with a goofy smile on his face; Brooke could smell his sweet aftershave in the cold air when the soft breeze went by them. Lucas smiled at Brooke and she smiled back.
"Hey Brooke, I brought a bottle of wine" Brooke smiled and thought 'Wine means do me' to herself
"Luke Hi" Brooke greeted "Come in"
Lucas walked into Brooke's house; Brooke took a deep breath and followed him to the couch. Lucas sat down and Brooke sat next to him putting the bottle Lucas gave her next to the one she opened. They were both stiff and didn't want to ruin things. Lucas wanted to break the uncomfortable silence, but he didn't know how; so Brooke spoke first.
"Would you like a glass of wine?" Brooke asked
"Yeah okay, thanks Brooke" Brooke poured Lucas a glass of wine
"So Luke, you wanted to talk. What did you want to say?" Brooke was nervous about the question she just asked, but excited to hear the answer she wanted
"I needed to tell you that I love you again and that I would like a second chance with you and the girls in my life" Lucas blurted out not thinking at all , he needed to get it off his chest and he needed to do it now
"Lucas I-I don't know what to say" Brooke took a sip of her already poured glass of wine and looked at Lucas who had a confused look on his face "Lucas I do love you, but it isn't as simple as that"
"Why can't it be that simple Brooke? You love me and I love you; that's all that matters" Lucas took Brooke's hands in his and kissed then gently.
"Okay so let's say it is that simple. What do we say to people? How does this work? How do we make it work?" Brooke gave Lucas question after question
"Who cares what people think. This work by our love for each other and the strength we have for it to work. We make it work by us trying and by us giving it a try Brooke, because you are everything for me and I can stop looking now; I can stop looking for my soul mate and bestfriend because I've found you" Lucas replied "I want this to work because I love you and even though it took me forever to realise it. Like you say the people who are meat to be always find there way back in the end, right?"
Brooke had finished her whole glass of wine by the time Lucas had finished "Lucas that was wonderful speech, but how do I know this is all true and not a dream I'm going to wake up from? How do I know you won't hurt me again like before and cheat on me with someone else?" Brooke asked "I need to know Luke"
"Brooke that will never happen again because I don't want to lose you or the girls ever again and I mean ever. No one will ever come between us because were too strong this time" Lucas told Brooke "Were stronger then we were in high school"
"Okay Lucas, we can try this again, but remember this is your last chance and if you do anything to ruin it, me and the girls will go back to new York and you will never see them again, so do you hear me" Brooke had tears rolling down her eyes
"Yeah I hear you pretty girl and trust me that will never happen again"
"Lucas can I tell you something" Lucas nodded "I love you"
"I love you too Brooke Penelope Davis" Lucas leaned in and kissed Brooke softly on the lips.
Lucas deepened the kiss and Brooke went along with it. They began to get passionate. Lucas leaned and Brooke moved so she was lying on the couch underneath Lucas. They were both getting in the mood now. Lucas's tongue was begging Brooke for entrance and Brooke quickly accepted; she liked this feeling being with Lucas again. Brooke and Lucas's tongues were now battling against together. Brooke put her hands up Lucas's top and tickled his belly, Lucas liked the feeling of being their passionate again with Brooke the mother of his daughters his soul mate and bestfriend. Lucas untied Brooke's dressed which slowly slide down her body. Lucas and Brooke's lips broke apart so Lucas could remove Brooke's dress from the couch; Brooke slowly lifted Lucas's top over his head and flung it to the floor. Lucas then clashed his lips with Brooke's again and their tongues began to battle each other once more. Brooke was un buttoning Lucas's jeans and slipped them off of him. So now Brooke and Lucas were both naked kissing and touching each other. Lucas found his way in between Brooke's legs; he then slowly entered Brooke. Brooke was groaning and moaning in delight as was Lucas, they were both loving the feeling of being there making love with each other again. It had been too long before they done that and as of right now they were enjoying themselves.

The fair had been over for 2 hours now, October drove everyone home then he drove, herself, April and Sabrina back to Sabrina's house since they were staying their tonight. October parked up and all 3 of them jumped out and headed to the house. Sabrina opened the front door and they all went inside. It was 8:00 and Sabrina's mom was sitting in the front room watching Eastenders. Sabrina's mom Claire turned around and smiled at the 3 girls.
"Hey girls, how was the fair?" Claire asked
"Fine thanks mom" Sabrina replied
"Yeah it was great I haven't had that much fun in ages" April agreed
"Yep me too" October smiled
"That's good. You know the fair isn't the same like it was back when I was your age" Claire laughed "It was never dangerous and we could stay out as long we wanted without their being any drama or trouble"
"There was no trouble mom, we came home early because the fair shut at 7:00" Sabrina told her mom
"Oh okay, so you girls hungry?" Clair asked
"Nah we had pizza before we came home with the guys, so we fought we'll just go to my room and get ready for bed and watch a couple of DVD's and just talk really" Sabrina looked at April and October who both nodded
"Okay well I'll see you guys in the morning then, if you girls need anything don't hesitate to ask" Claire smiled and walked back into the living room and sat back on couch.
"We'll see you tomorrow mom" Sabrina grabbed 3 cans of diet cola and headed for her room
"Yeah see you in the morning Claire" April followed Sabrina
"Yeah night Claire" October followed the girls up to Sabrina's room

Brooke and Lucas were lying on the couch naked, they had just made love. Brooke was smiling when she woke to Lucas snoring. Brooke pushed herself off of Lucas and sat up. She looked at the clock which read 2:56pm. She slowly got up and slipped into her dress; she picked up her panties that were lying on the floor, her hair was everywhere and she was just glad that her girls were staying at their mates house. Lucas stirred around, Brooke placed the cover on him that was on the arm chair and rushed up stairs. Brooke walked down to her room and opened her drawer so she could get dressed into her pj's before she got into her bed and went back to sleep.
....................................................................................................................................................
It was 8:00am the next morning, Lucas was still on the couch he woke to the smell of Brooke making pancakes; his favourite blueberry. Brooke had already washed and got dressed. Lucas opened on eye an pushed his head up just enough to see Brooke dancing in the kitchen while cooking breakfast. Lucas then realised he was naked from the previous night. He quickly got dressed again then walked into the kitchen and put his hand around Brooke's waist.
"Why you up so early Brooke?"
"Because I was angry and I needed to get dressed before the girl got home, they couldn't walk in on me and you butt naked lying on the couch sleeping" Lucas laughed then nodded
"Yeah your properly right, how gross would that be" Lucas kissed Brooke's neck
"Anyway don't you have somewhere to be?" Brooke turned to look at him
"I don't think so" Lucas looked confused
"Yes you do, you have to go home and get dressed because your going to the club with Nathan to make sure everything is okay" Brooke told Lucas
"Oh yeah I totally forgot" Lucas kissed Brooke on the lips then left for his house
...................................................................................................................................................
Haley walked into Brooke's house without knocking as usual. Haley walked over to where Brooke was still cooking her blueberry pancakes. Haley sat down on the stool and smiled when she saw the couch all messy.
"Someone had a good night last night" Haley smiled
"What do you mean?" Brooke was acting like nothing happened
"You, Lucas the couch" Haley turned and pointed at the couch which had pillows on the floor and blanket screwed up
"Fine okay, yeah so me and Lucas made love on the couch big deal" Brooke put down the spatula and looked at Haley "It was amazing Hales, I've never felt like that in ages even with Chase. Being with Lucas again last night was fantastic. There okay I said it"
Haley looked at Brooke with a surprised look on her face "To be honest Brooke I never thought you and Lucas would have sex when you left y place yesterday"
"Neither did I, but it just happened and I'm actually glad it did" Brooke smiled childish
"So what's the deal with you two now?" Haley asked
"I think we are officially dating now. His gone with Nate to check the club, but when he gets back the girls get back from Sabrina's then were going to ell them together" Brooke responded
"Then I guess his going to move in with you and you'll be one big happy family" Haley said sarcastically
Brooke looked at Haley in a funny way, she want sure what was the matter with Haley today "Hales what is going on with you? I thought you was happy with me and Lucas getting back together. You're the one who said follow your heart and tell him the truth. I did tell him how I truly feel and he told and showed me how he felt too"
"Don't get me wrong Brooke I am happy I just don't see the big rush. You have forever to be with Lucas. Why do you need to jump a few hurdles?" Haley defended herself
"I can't believe this Haley, your meant to be my bestfriend. Your meant to encourage me about getting back together with Luke, not drag me out" Brooke emptied the pancakes on to a plate and put them on the counter
"Brooke I just don't want you to rush into things then get hurt again" Haley looked at the disappointed look on Brooke's face
"Haley he won't hurt me again. He love me" Brooke nodded her head "He said so himself"
"Okay fine, you do what you want, you are an adult. I'll just be here for you when it crumbles" Haley jumped off the stool and headed for the door
"Haley where you going? I thought you would like breakfast" Brooke asked
"No thank you I already ate and I'm going home, I just remembered that I have so much marking to do" Haley opened the door "Bye Brooke"
"Bye Hales" with them saying bye Haley shut the door and Brooke sat at the counter looking at her pancakes she just made.

They were going to hang out again, but they all had homework to do for school the next day. April and October had a wicked birthday and they had a good time he next day with their friends at the fair. Jamie wanted to go and see his Aunt Brooke, but he knew he better go home and do his homework before he get's detention which will make him miss out on the next game which was Friday.
"So girls, I better head home, I'll see you tomorrow at school" Jamie waved to the girls
"Okay see you tomorrow J" April waved back and October done the same
"Yeah see ya"
April and October were at their house already. They walked into their house and saw the couch all messy and their mom sitting on the counter with a sad face. October dat on one side and April sat on the other
"Hey mom, what's up?" Both girl asked at the same time
"Just your Aunt Hales and I had a fight a few minutes ago" Brooke looked at Brooke girls "It was about your dad"
"Oh why what happened?" April questioned
"Well she doesn't like the fact that we might be rushing into this whole family thing" Brooke told her daughters "But I don't care because I love your father and he loves me and that's all that matters"
"Okay that's good mom. But we don't want you and Aunt Hales to argue about this" October told her mom and April agreed by nodding her head
"I know and I will talk to her after me and your dad have told you guys something" With Brooke saying that Lucas walked in with a huge smile on his face
"Well if it isn't my favourite girls" Lucas walked over to Brooke and kissed her lightly on the lips
"Wait a minute if your kissing and dad has a smile on his face then that must mean your officially back together" April screeched
"Yeah that we are girls. We are so in love and everything is going to be okay right Luke" Brooke looked at Lucas
"Yep it sure is" Lucas knew Brooke had been crying, but he didn't want to ruin the moment
