Hey guy's thank you so much for the kind reviews…they really do mean a lot to me. Can you guys believe the whole "James and Sophia" thing? My friend was always like "Something's going on between the two of them" and I was always like "No" but I say you go for it Sophia get on it, James is so good looking and I don't really believe everything that's being said about the two of them but I do know that they were seen being "romantic" at the airport in NYC last weekend. Anyway it's now time for me to stop talking about things that are none of my business. I hope that you guys like this chapter and again thanks for commenting on it so much.

Brooke stretched and curled deeper into Luca's arms. They'd been sleeping on and off for the last hour after spending some "Quality Time" together. Brooke opened her eyes and looked over at the clock and groaned when she saw the numbers read 7:30. Brooke raised her head up and she rested her chin on Lucas's bare shoulder.

"Lucas" Brooke whispered running her hand across the outline of his tattoo.

"Hmm?" Lucas acknowledged not opening his eyes.

Brooke smiled and she placed a kiss on Lucas's shoulder "We have to get up….I made dinner reservations for 9:00 and it's already after 7"

Lucas opened his eyes and looked down at Brooke "Can't we just stay in tonight?"

Brooke shook her head "We can't I mean we could but I'm hungry and it's our last night in the city and I want it to be special"

Lucas smiled "I can do special" He rolled over so that he was on top of Brooke and he slowly started to kiss his way down her neck and shoulder.

Brooke turned her head to the side to give him better access and she protested softly "Luke we can't do this…please"

Lucas groaned deeply and ran his hands down Brooke's sides and when he reached and pushed he knees apart so that his hips were cradled between hers. "Please beg me"

The front door to the suite opened and Brooke heard Nathan, Haley and Rachel talking as they walked in.

Lucas pulled back and looked at Brooke he rolled his eyes and leaned down and nuzzled her nose with his and moved off of her. Brooke watched as Lucas got out of bed and pulled his boxers on, he walked over to the couch that was in their room and grabbed Brooke's robe and took it over to her. Brooke sat up and pulled the comforter around her as she pulled her robe on. Lucas sat down on the edge of the bed and looked over at Brooke.

"I need to take a shower and get ready" Brooke told him as she got out of bed and walked over to the bathroom door.

Lucas smiled and turned to face her "You know since everyone is going "Green" we should jump on board and shower together"

Brooke turned and faced him "We tried that on our honeymoon remember"

Lucas blushed at the memory "Yeah…who knew shower doors were that expensive"

Brooke turned the water on and looked back at Lucas "Apparently the people at the Comfort Inn in Orlando…I was going to buy a wind chime with that money too"

Lucas and Nathan sat on the couch watching "American Idol" while they waited for Rachel, Haley and Brooke to get ready. Nathan wore black dress pants and a red dress shirt with a black tie and Lucas also wore black dress pants but with a dark blue dress shirt and a white tie. Lucas sighed and turned to volume to the TV down.

"You know "Idol" just isn't what it used to be" Lucas complained talking to Nathan.

"I know what you mean man…Season 4 was the best season ever…Aw man Carrie Underwood such a beauty the only girl Haley said I could leave her for"



Lucas nodded in agreement "I know what you mean…she came to one of Brooke's fashion shows one time and I thought I was going to die…Brooke started crying and was like "I voted for you 33 times" needless to say I don't think she'll be back to any fashion shows anytime soon"

Haley walked out of the bathroom and into the living room she wore a dark red cocktail dress and her hair was pulled up into a French twist she wore little makeup but she looked beautiful. Nathan stood up and hugged her and kissed her forehead "You look stunning, Hales"

Haley smiled and looked up at Nathan "You don't look so bad yourself"

Rachel followed Haley out of the bathroom and she wore a green dress much like the one she wore to Nathan and Haley's wedding, she had straightened her hair and slipped her silver spiked heels on as she walked to the door. "Come on guys…lets get going I am starving…they only have so much chicken pot pie"

Nathan shook his head "Rachel, they are not going to run out of chicken pot pie"

Haley ran her hand over her stomach as it growled "Brooke needs to hurry up I'm so hungry"

Lucas shook his head "I'll go and get her"

Rachel folded her arms and groaned "May as well make some sandwiches…we're going to be here a while"

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Lucas walked into the bathroom and he saw Brooke no matter how long he'd known her his heart still skipped a beat every time he looked at her. She wore an off the shoulder black silk dress that fell to her knees she wore her hair in loose curls like she did the night that she threw the party at the school for Lucas after the school shooting. Lucas loved when she wore her hair like that. Lucas walked up behind Brooke as she finished applying her lip gloss.

"You know everyone is waiting on you" Lucas wrapped his arms around Brooke and she leaned back into him and rested her back against his chest. Lucas moved Brooke's hair out of the way and he nuzzled her neck she smelled like Herbal Essences and baby lotion he closed his eyes and placed a kiss where her neck met her shoulder "You smell so good….I've never seen this dress before…where did you get it?"

Brooke smiled "I designed it…do you like it?"

Lucas nodded "Yeah…but I'd like it better if it were on the floor"



Brooke turned in Lucas's arms so that she was facing him "So dirty now that we're married….what am I going to do with you?"

Lucas placed a kiss on Brooke's nose "You could punish me"

Brooke couldn't help but laugh "You're out of you mind….besides I've heard about the mashed potatoes that this place has for like the last month….They're supposed to be the best…although I don't see how they will be as good as the ones from KFC…I always want to take Jamie there but he will never go…Haley and her stupid lies"

Lucas picked Brooke up as she talked and sat her on the counter he kissed her cheek and then kissed a path down to her ear "B…can we please just stay here tonight?...we can order room service and take advantage of our last night alone before going back to Hannah" Lucas smiled as soon as Hannah's name left his lips she was without a doubt the poster child for perfect babies. She had a head full of black hair that had brown highlight in it, she had deep baby blues that melted his whole heart and her toothless grin that was complete with dimples stopped his breath. He was so in love with that little girl and he couldn't wait to see her. "Please…baby girl"

"Excuse me…if you two could hose yourselves off the rest of us would like to go to dinner" Haley said from the doorway before walking back into the living room.

Brooke slid off the counter and down the length of Lucas's body "We should go Haley gets mad when she's hungry…remember the Hot Pocket incident of 2006?"

Lucas sucked in his breath "Yeah…I didn't know it was hers…my bad"

Brooke took a hold of Lucas's hand and they walked into the living room and up to their friends who were waiting at the door. "Hey…it's about time I thought we were going to have to send out a search party" Rachel said dryly putting on her coat.

Nathan shook his head "You'll have to excuse Rachel she seems to think that the world revolves around her and that the restaurant is going to somehow run out of chicken pot pie"

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000



The next day the 5 friends sat at the airport waiting to board their flight. Haley rested her head against Nathan's shoulder and he in turn rested his head on top of hers. "I'm so excited to see Jamie...do you think he'll like his present?"

Nathan nodded "Yeah…what kid doesn't want a Statue of Liberty Frisbee…he can play with me since Lucas cheats"

Lucas furrowed his brow "I do not cheat at Frisbee…I Don't"

"Whatever…I just want to get out of this frigging town" Rachel complained from her chair where she was filing her nails.

Brooke smiled "I'm sorry they didn't have pot pie Rachel…"

Rachel furrowed her brow "No you aren't I told you guys they'd run out they never have what I want…and stop laughing at least Mouth and I don't have sex at CHILDREN'S CAMPGROUNDS"

Brooke's smile faded "Shut up Rachel I wish everyone would quit talking about that it's been a year ago and it's getting old" Brooke stood up and grabbed her bag as their seats were finally called.

The remaining four stood up and followed Brooke into the terminal "Old Smokey's Campground never get's old" Nathan joked.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Brooke practically ripped the door off of the limo when it pulled up to her and Lucas's home. They had dropped Rachel off at Mouth's apartment and the ten minute ride to their house had seemed like days. Jamie spotted the limo pulling up and he ran out of the house.

"Mama Daddy….did you bring me anything?" Jamie asked jumping up and down in front of them.

"It's nice to see you too sweetheart" Haley teased leaning down in front of Jamie as Nathan pulled their bags out of the limo.

"Sorry Mama…I missed you" Jamie said throwing his arms around Haley "Guess what….Karen let me feed Hannah all by myself….she spit up on my good basketball PJ'S but I didn't even get mad….neither did Chester"

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Brooke walked into the house and she found Karen in the living room trying to sooth a screaming Hannah. Karen smiled when she saw Brooke 'Someone got woken up from her nap in all of the excitement" she said referring to Hannah.

Brooke smiled and she took Hannah from Karen she swayed back and forth with Hannah as she ran her hand up and down her back "Hey Hannah Banana…mommy missed you so much" Hannah's cries subsided almost as soon as she was in her mother's arms. She instantly recognized the voice and she rooted against Brooke's chest.

Lucas walked in and saw Karen "Hey Ma" Lucas called pulling Karen into an embrace "Thanks for taking care of the baby"

Karen smiled "It's no problem….she was an absolute angel…I didn't know she slept through the night "

Lucas shrugged his shoulders "She gets it from her old man"

Karen shook her head no "Yeah right the boy who wouldn't sleep by himself until he was 11 sure"

Lucas blushed "Ma…you promised you would never bring that up"

Karen sighed "We'll just call it payback from when you made fun of my emotions after the baby was born"

Lucas shook his head and walked over to Brooke who was swaying with a now calm Hannah. Hannah looked up at Lucas as he walked over to them and she smiled Lucas ran his hand across her cheek and she kept her eyes locked on him until she could no longer keep them open and when she finally fell asleep he kissed he softly on the forehead.



Karen looked over at the family she knew that Brooke and Lucas were going to have their ups and down but they put her in mind so much of her and Keith at their age. She knew that even though they let things bother them that shouldn't they were going to be ok. "I should get home… I don't know how long Andy can watch Dora the Explorer…Lily is probably driving him crazy"

Karen said her goodbyes to Lucas and Brooke and walked out of the house leaving the family alone for the night.
