A month had gone by and everything seemed to going okay. Luke and I are doing okay I think. We have been communicating better and getting along. Julian had gone back to see his daughter, but said his coming back next weekend which is okay. Dylan is still of course in the picture and so is Raleigh. We get Dylan every weekend and maybe once day in the week. It was Friday afternoon and I had just gotten back with the kids and now I'm waiting for Raleigh to drop Dylan off before we head over to Peyton's for dinner. The door bell rang "Ally darling take the twins to get ready please"
"Okay Mommy" Ally ran through the living room to get the twins ready as I walk to the door opening it,
Raleigh is standing there with Dylan smiling up at me. Yes I know what you guys are thinking, but I have come to terms with the whole Dylan being Lucas's son and it doesn't bother me anymore and Ally had also comes to terms with it too they get along considering there the same age "Hi Brooke" Raleigh spoke first. I might have come to terms with Dylan being Luke's son, but I did not like Raleigh and I never will.
"Hi" I fake smiled tilting my head to the side "Hey Dylan"
"Hey Brooke" He smiled up at me " Where's Ally?"
"In the living room getting the twins ready, where going to Aunt Peyton's" I respond as he walked pass me and into the house "Dylan sweetie put your bag in your room and get ready"
"Okay Brooke" Dylan nodded walking down the hall to his room.
"So I'll pick him up" Raleigh started to say, but I interrupted her knowing when she was going to pick Dylan up this has been working for like 3 months now.
"You'll pick him up at 8:00 on Sunday"
"Yeah erm..." Raleigh sounded like she was changing the plan "I was thinking if Luke and you wouldn't mind keeping him for the week"
"Excuse me?" I asked putting on hand on the door handle and the other on my hip "I don't know about that. I jus"
"Please Brooke, I know Luke would love that" Raleigh interrupted
"Raleigh that wasn't the plan" I don't know whether I should take Dylan for the week
"Hey what's going on?" I looked pass Raleigh and saw Lucas walking up the drive way "Hey baby" He walked pass Raleigh and kissed me "What's going on?"
"Raleigh wants Dylan to stay longer" I tell him as he wrapped his arms around my waist
"How much longer?" Lucas asked
"A week" Raleigh looked at him and then Lucas looked at me.
"Brooke" Lucas kissed my cheek "Would it bother you?"
"I didn't say it would I was just saying she can't do this all the time Luke. She can't drop him off and ask for him to stay longer. She's already done it once" I reply. She could keep doing this.
"I know baby, but his my son" Lucas pouted kissing my neck "Please Brooke"
"Okay fine he can stay for the week" I cave. I do love Dylan being there and it would have been even better if I was his mother, but I'm not and I must admit that sucks.
"Thanks Brooke" Raleigh smiled at me "This means a lot"
"I'm not doing it for you Raleigh" I state looking from Luke to her "I'm doing it for MY husband" I stretch the word my making sure he registered it "Now if you don't mind Peyton is waiting for us" I turn away from Raleigh and head into the house "Ally" I call seeing the twins running around the living room "Dylan you read sweetheart?" I called own the hall as I see him run out of his room.
"Yeah I'm ready" He nodded pulling his jacket back on
"Okay sweetie" I reply smiling at him "Ally" I call again waiting for her response "Ally answer me now"
"Here Mommy" Ally jumped out behind the couch "Were ready to go see Aunt Peyton"
"Okay get your jacket princess" I tell her "Luke were leaving, I think the guys will be here in like an hour"
"Okay baby" I hear him shout back from the door then I heard the door shut "I'll miss you"
"I'll miss you too" Lucas wrapped me in his arms again then leaned in and kissed me pulling back.
"I'm glad you forgave me Brooke" He tells me again hugging me "I will never hurt you again believe that"
"I know Luke. I love you too much to lose you" I whisper into his ear as he hugs me "I just love you so much"
"I love you so much baby, you and the kids mean everything to me" whispered back "I need to talk to you about something Brooke" I pulled back and looked at him.
"Luke can it wait, Peyt is waiting for us and the guys will be here real soon" I ask pulling out of his grasp and getting my jacket. If he was about to hurt me again, I really don't think I can handle it, not after everything is going great.
"I think we should talk about it now Brooke, it won't take long" Lucas replied sounding serious.
"If you're going to hurt me again Luke, I don't want to hear it just leave instead" I tell him not wanting to look at him.
"What?" Lucas's seriousness left his voice and I heard a sad note hit it instead "Brooke I'm not going to hurt you again, I just told you that"
"Yeah I know, but your scaring me Luke" I admit "I love you too much to do that to you again. I don't want to see you hurt anymore baby"
"Okay then what do you have to tell me?" I ask putting my hands on my hips "Go on"
"Raleigh is giving me full custody of Dylan" I stood their stunned. Wait did I just hear correctly. Raleigh is giving Lucas full custody of Dylan. Why the fuck is she doing that? I don't get that girl sometimes
"Wait" I stopped "What?"
"She's giving me full custody of Dylan" Lucas repeated
"Why?"
"She said she has to go away and she can't look after him and the boyfriend she's got now doesn't want him and she loves this guy and she knows we'll look after him and she knows you're a good Mom and she just doesn't want him anymore" Lucas told me as I was still shocked with the whole thing "She just told me before she left"
"What did you say?" I managed to ask
"I said I'm not going to leave him and let her take him into social services because she's being real selfish" Lucas replied
"Yeah we can't let that happen, I love that little boy just as much as you do" I admit. I did grow to love Dylan over these past 3 months "His defiantly staying with us Luke"
"You sure baby?" He sounded happy, but concerned
"Of course" I nodded "No way am I going to let that little boy go into the system and taken away from you Luke"
"You know how much I love you right now" Lucas picked me up and kissed me
"I love you too"

"Jake come take Harvey for a second please" I call out to Jake
Harvey has been home for a month now and he settled in quite well. He sleeps through the night most of the time if Jake and I are lucky. I haven't spoken to or seen Brooke since she left the hospital the day he was born. I have tried calling her, but I either get her voicemail or Lucas answers and it's always the same answer 'Brooke is busy and can't get to the phone' he also says that Brooke will ring me back, but never has she once. Brooke and I have drifted since the whole Jake and I affair came out and even though she tried to help me, I knew our relationship wouldn't be the same and the sister bond we built for so long would come tumbling down and I was right it did. We tried so hard to build it and it's gone just like that. Mom and Dad hardly ever take my calls and if they do, it's always a short conversation and I guess this just means I've lost the family I have always wanted since I was a little girl and when Brooke and Dad came into my life I was happy to have what I wanted and know it's all gone because I cheated on Owen and got pregnant with Harvey. Brooke and I was close, now we hardly ever talk maybe here and there, but never for long.
"Yeah course honey" Jake answered walking into the kitchen taking Harvey from me.
"I'm just warming up his bottle" I start to make up his formula shaking the bottle then taking Harvey back from Jake "Who's a hungry little boy?" I coo to Harvey placing the bottle into his mouth as he starts too fed from it. I started to walk into the living room sitting on the couch with Harvey still in my hands.
"They'll forgive you eventually Rach" Jake stated randomly "I know it crushes you and I can see every time the phone rings that you hope that it's Brooke or you parents and I am sorry for what's happened, but I don't know what else you want me to do baby"
"There's nothing else you can do Jake" I shook my head looking down at Harvey rocking him in my arms "I've lost everyone that I care about the most and by doing that I gained you and Harvey and I wouldn't change that for the world, but I miss my old life. The safe life of being in a marriage I gradually didn't want and the family I thought I always want" I looked back up at him smiling "And because I've lose them there is nothing else you nor I can do and it's about time I own up to it"
"I'm sorry Rach" Jake apologised for about the millionth time
"Yeah so am I" I nodded knowing where he was coming from, but I also feel real bad because I am a bad mother, I have neglected my daughter who I had with my ex husband and I'm not doing anything about it. I guess I am a real bad mom and now I have Harvey and Rory won't exist in my life even more and I don't know what to do about it.

I had to change everything. Dylan was now being put in Lucas's custody because Rileigh's new boyfriend doesn't want him anymore and she agreed that he keeps them down so now I have another mouth to feed everyday for years to come. I was sitting in the lounge with Peyton and Haley. They were all talking amongst themselves and I was trying to listen, but I just can't get Rileigh being so selfish out of my mind. The bitch comes into my life nearly tearing Luke and I apart and now she just leaves Dylan on us too. She's a selfish bitch.
"So Becks was sitting on her stool with her arms folded looking at Rory like she had broken her Barbie doll with her nose all scrunched up" Peyton laughed "It was so cute and funny" She finished and Haley laughed too.
"Aww bless her" Haley commented
"Dylan is moving in with Luke and me for good" I blurted out not being able to tame myself any longer "And I agreed to it of course" I add on seeing the shock looks on their faces "And I know I just totally ruined the moment and I'm so sorry" I put my glass down on the coffee table and looked pass Peyton and watched as Dylan played with the others like he was my actual kid "I don't mind bringing up Dylan like his my own I really don't, I just can't believe his mother could be so selfish"
"Okay so I'm totally speechless, but erm... why is he living with you guys for good?" Haley asked. I could see she didn't know what to say at first and neither did Peyton, but I just couldn't keep it in for any longer "Where's Rileigh going?"
"She has a new boyfriend and he doesn't want kids yet, so when he found out about Dylan he told her to get rid of him and that's what she's doing. So when she came to drop him off she asked for him to stay a bit longer and o finally said yes and then before we come here Luke tells me that she is giving him custody and it isn't like I could say no to that little boy" I point to Dylan who is laughing with Jamie.
"Oh wow that is a lot to deal with in a few hours B" Peyton finally decides on speaking after getting out of the shock.
"Yeah I know and the worst thing about it is that Dylan doesn't know what's going on of course. Rileigh's his Mom, I'm just his step Mom and what am I suppose to tell him when he asks why he isn't going home or why his mom isn't coming to get him?" The frustration was starting to build up in me "We've been through a lot, but this has me at breaking point with the bitch"
"So where is she?" Peyton asked sipping her drink
"I don't know, I think I heard her tell Luke she's leaving Tree Hill after she dropped Dylan off, so it's not like I can go talk sense into her" I answering taking my drink and sipping at it before putting it back down. I looked at my watch and saw we've been here for hours and my mind has just wondered near enough the whole time "Oh Peyt I just realised the time, I better get the kids home and in bed"
"Okay yeah time went by fast" Peyton nodded smiling up at me
"I better get Jamie home too Peyt" Haley said finishing off her drink
"I'll catch you girls soon" I hugged both girls "Come on kids, time to go" I shouted as I opened the back door "Come on" I then left with the kids in tow getting into the car.
There was nothing to think about anymore. Dylan is Lucas's son who means I will treat him like his mine and since Rileigh hasn't abandoned him I'm not going to do the same thing. He will get the love and comfort he needs from a mother figure.
Could please review just so I know if you are reading it or not. I would appreciate it a lot. Thanks. Roch xxx
