-1Lucas rolled over in his sleep to wrap his arm around Brooke. When all he felt was empty bed he opened his eyes. He looked over at the clock and saw that it was almost 6 am. He was about to get out of bed to go and see if he could find Brooke but the bedroom door opened and she came in. She came in as quietly as she could thinking that Lucas was still asleep. He wasn't though and he lied in bed and silently watched her. He looked at the clothes she was wearing and noted that she must have went out for a run. Lucas watched Brooke sit down in the chair beside of the dresser and slip off her running shoes. He watched as she stood up and pulled her hair out of the pony tail she had put it in before her run. She started to walk to the bathroom and that's when Lucas spoke up.

"Hey….where'd you go?" Lucas asked pretending that he'd just woken up.

Brooke turned around a little startled by Lucas's voice "Hey….did I wake you?"

Lucas pushed himself up on his elbows "No…I was awake I was just wondering where you were"

"Oh…just out for a run…I needed to clear my head" Brooke half smiled and leaned against the doorframe of the bathroom.

"Brooke just tell me what's bothering you" Lucas yawned as he looked at her.

"Nothing…I'm just stressed about going back to work on Tuesday…I'm going to be in meetings all day long and I just kind of dread it" Brooke lied and she looked into the bathroom as an escape from talking to Lucas.

Lucas shook his head "Rachel told me what's bothering you"

Brooke looked back at him "What?"

Lucas got out of bed and walked over to Brooke "She told me that you think I think you need to lose weight…where'd you get an idea like that?"

Brooke shrugged her shoulders and she made a mental note to kill Rachel whenever she saw her. "I don't know…we were kidding around and I said it jokingly…I didn't think she'd take me seriously"

Lucas placed is hand under Brooke's chin and pushed up so that Brooke would be forced to look at him. "Do you really think that?"

"Well I don't know any other reason that you'd keep pushing me away…I mean are you mad at me?"

Lucas shook his head "Brooke I love you….I'm not mad at you…I just don't want to force you to do something you're not ready for"

"But Lucas I told you I'm fine…I just want to be with you" Brooke stepped closer to him and ran her fingers across the waistband of his boxers.

"Brooke you almost died…can't you understand why I'd be a little cautious" Lucas ran his hand across her cheek. Brooke pressed her face against it and kept her gaze fixated on him.

"Lucas I promise you…I am fine…you don't have to worry" Brooke turned her head and kissed the inside of Lucas's wrist.

"Really?" Lucas cleared his throat and he leaned in and rested his forehead against Brooke's.

"Really" Brooke's eyes fluttered closed when Lucas leaned down and kissed her.

The kiss started off slow and romantic, but weeks of being apart ate at the both of them and what started out as innocent had turned into the two of them clawing at each other in need. Brooke stood on her tiptoes and deepened the kiss and she walked with Lucas as he backed up to the bed. They pulled away long enough for Lucas to pull Brooke's tank top off and push her running shorts down over her hips. Once the back of Lucas's knees hit the bed Brooke pushed him down so that he was sitting. She moved to straddle him and Lucas ran his hands through her long dark hair. Lucas loved her hair when it was long. He remembered a couple of years back after Peyton and him had split up he'd went to New York and Brooke had came to see him. The first thing he'd noticed was that she'd cut all of her long beautiful hair. It's not that he didn't think she looked just a beautiful because she did…but she was always beautiful. He just liked her hair better long, it gave him something to run his hands through when they'd kiss. Brooke ran her hands down Lucas' back as they kissed and he slowly moved his from her hair down her sides to her hips. He gripped them tightly and rocked his pelvis up into hers letting her feel the effects that she was having on him. Brooke groaned against his mouth and in turn rocked his hips into his even harder. They soon fell into a rhythm and Brooke tore her mouth away from his.

"Lucas…please" Brooke really wasn't sure what it was that she was begging him for but at this point she really didn't care.

Lucas groaned and rolled over so that Brooke was under him now. He pulled back from her and rested on his knees. He ran his hands down her hips and looped his thumbs through the waistband of her underwear and he slid them down her hips. Once they had been removed. He dropped them by the side of the bed and moved back on top of her. Brooke ran her hands down Lucas' back and pushed at his boxers in an effort to get them off of his hips. Lucas smiled against Brooke's mouth and he moved his hands down to help her. He kicked them off the edge of the bed and moved his hands to rest under Brooke as they kissed. Brooke turned her head to the side and closed her eyes. Lucas trailed his kisses from her jaw down her neck and finally to her shoulder. Brooke rested her feet on the bed so that Lucas' hips were cradled between her thighs. She whimpered softly when she felt his hips grind into hers. Brooke turned her head back and Lucas instantly moved to kiss her again. Brooke pushed against Lucas' shoulders as they kissed and he pulled back to look at her.

"You ok?" he asked his voice was deep with want as he looked at her.

Brooke nodded "Condom"

Lucas leaned down and kissed her quickly before reaching over to the nightstand for his wallet. He managed to open it with one hand and get the condom that he carried with him. He tore the silver package open with his teeth and put it on and then settled back between Brooke's thighs. He placed soft kisses all over her face before pulling back and looking at her.

"If I hurt you…just tell me to stop" Lucas' eyes searched Brooke's for any sign of hesitance. Brooke smiled up at him and kissed the side of his mouth softly.

"It's fine"

That was all he needed and with one thrust he slid into her. Brooke groaned against his neck and exhaled deeply. Lucas waited for a minute so that Brooke's body would have a chance to adjust to him again. It only took Brooke a moment before she slowly rocked her hips up into his and they fell into a slow rhythm. Lucas rested his forehead against Brooke's as they made love, after a few minutes he felt his own release approaching and he picked up the pace a little. Brooke bit her lip and her nails raked across Lucas' shoulder blades as her own release raked over her body. Lucas followed right after her and he kissed her one last time before collapsing against her. Brooke ran her hand across Lucas' forehead and leaned up and kissed him.

"I love you Luke"

Lucas smiled and nuzzled her nose with his "Right back at you"

5 months later.

Brooke was walking around the kitchen with Hannah on her hip. She was trying to get some things together for Hannah's first birthday party they were having that afternoon. Brooke was standing at the counter trying to make Jell-O but Hannah kept pulling Brooke's hair.

"Hannah….no" Brooke sighed and reached for the unopened package of Jell-O.

"Mama…no" Hannah imitated laughing and clapping her tiny hands.

Brooke couldn't wait for Lucas to get home he'd gone with Haley to pick up Hannah's birthday cake and Nathan was supposed to come over with Jamie but they hadn't made it yet. Since it was Hannah's birthday Brooke was trying anything she could to get Hannah to take an earlier nap but nothing had seemed to work so instead of leaving her to scream her head off in her crib Brooke had been carrying her around in hope that she'd fall asleep. She hadn't seemed to of taken the hint though. Just then the door swung open and Jamie ran in followed by Nathan who had his arms full of presents covered in circus animals wrapping paper.

"Hi Aunt Brooke…can I go play X-Box?" Jamie asked jumping up and down in the kitchen.

"Sure handsome" Brooke smiled over at Jamie who took off running into the living room.

"Sorry I couldn't get over here sooner….Haley's "nesting" and she thought that while she was out of the house with Lucas that Jamie and I could clean out the whole basement…I don't see why it's not as if Leah is going to use the basement as soon as she comes home from the hospital" Nathan explained he and Haley found out about a month ago that the baby was a girl and they picked the name Leah for the newest addition to the Scott clan.

"It's ok" Brooke smiled at Nathan who's arms were still filled with gifts. "You can put them on the table Nate"

"Oh…yeah" Nathan sat the presents down on the kitchen table and walked over to Brooke. "Is someone in this room one today?"

Hannah laughed and reached her arms out for Nathan to take her "How's my favorite niece today?"

"Anything but tired" Brooke answered as she finally started to make her Jell-O. "She really needs to take a nap because you don't want to see what she'd be like if she didn't get one"

"Well we'll just go and play with Jamie and Uncle Nate will tell Hannah a story" Nathan hoisted Hannah up on his shoulders and took off with her into the living room.

About an hour later Peyton and Jake arrived.

"Hey friend" Peyton said walking into the kitchen

"Hey" Brooke replied she looked over Peyton's shoulder and saw Jake holding Hayden with Emily and Jenny following right behind him.

"Here's Hannah's present" Peyton said handing Brooke a pink gift bag.

"Thanks" Brooke said taking it from Peyton and hugging her.

"So where is the birthday girl?" Peyton asked

"Nathan got her down for a nap…he started to tell her the story about when he went to "High Flyers" and he barely got out "It was the Summer before Senior year before she was out…he and Lucas have this idea that she's going to play basketball but I told him "No…she's going to follow in mommy and Aunt Peyton and Haley's footsteps and be a cheerleader…..without the promiscuous sex, drug abuse, and teenage marriage…oh God….I'm never sending her to public school"

"I know kids these days….It's that damn rap music" Peyton sighed

"Yeah…" Brooke's voice trailed off and she sat down on the couch.

"What's the matter Davis-Scott?" Peyton asked taking a seat next to her friend.

"I just can't believe she's already one…I mean it feels like just yesterday she was born…now she's walking and talking….where'd my baby go, Peyton?" Brooke folded her arms and leaned back into the couch and pouted.

"Aw..she's still your baby Brooke she's just having her first birthday…you and Luke should be proud" Peyton said trying to cheer Brooke up.

"I don't know….I remember holding her in my arms and her being so dependent on Lucas and I….she can feed herself now Peyton…she doesn't even need me for that"

"Well she still needs you to change her diapers" Peyton joked

Brooke sighed and looked over at Peyton "I think I want another baby"

A/N

So I hope you guys liked that chapter. The next part is going to be Hannah's birthday. As always I am open to any suggestions that you guys might have. Just let me know cause I'm not sure what to put in the story half the time. Also, I know I say it a lot but THANKS SO MUCH FOR REVIEWING THE STORY or reading it really. It means so much to me to log in and read the reviews you guys have written. A couple of you even commented on my "Lindsey Theory" I just hope she isn't pregnant…Mark is such a weenie sometimes I mean really he has to realize that there are more "Brucas" fans than "Leyton" fans. Just cast me on the show and my whole purpose can be to just drive around and look for Jake and then I can take Dr. Ethan to "Doctors without Boarders" and then take Owen and Chase to "The Hills" and Lucas can realize that Brooke's still the one. It is my dream that since "October Road" got cancelled that Bryan Greenberg will find his way back to Tree Hill.. I'd be great on OTH I'd hang out with the cast and if Chad and I would fall in love so be it. Although, I'm not a home wrecker…but he's not married…yet. I totally prefer James though but I wouldn't do that to Sophia…cause I think no I know she could kick my ass. …cause I think she has a lot of pent up anger and resentment and I think that girl could fight if she had to. Although now that I sit and think about it I don't want to be the "other woman" in any of those scenarios. Plus I'd totally lose my job, then there I'd be broke, unemployed, beat up, and alone. It was a good dream at the time.
