-1"Another Baby?" Lucas simply said he looked at Brooke who turned to face him on the couch.
Brooke nodded "Yeah….I mean I know that we've talked about it….well you've talked about it…but I've been thinking about it and I think I'm ready…I want Hannah to have someone to play with…..I want a little boy"
Lucas cleared his throat, exhaled deeply, and stood up "I can't believe this…"
Brooke looked down at the ground and nodded sadly "I shouldn't have said anything…I just thought that you'd be happy about this…I mean I thought it's what you wanted"
Brooke stood up from the couch and walked past Lucas who grabbed her by the arm and turned her around. "Can I finish please?"
Brooke kept her eyes on the ground and she stared at Lucas' feet and nodded. Lucas tipped his hand under Brooke's chin and forced her to look at him. "Brooke I want nothing more than to have another baby with you…I just worry that you might be taking on too much"
Brooke smiled sadly as she looked into Lucas' blue eyes "Luke I'm fine…you don't have to worry about me all the time…you sound like everyone else that I talk to…I've really thought about this and I want another baby….I know that Hannah's only one but we can do this…we can handle it….I know how much you want a son"
Lucas ran a hand across Brooke's cheek "There's no guarantee that we'll have a boy"
Brooke half smiled and leaned into him "Then we'll just have to try until we get one…we could be like the couple we saw on TV with 18 kids…and they could all have names that start with "H"…it would be crazy"
Lucas smiled and shook his head at his wife "I don't think I could handle that many kids…that's funny though…the next thing you know you'll tell me Rachel's pregnant"
Brooke stepped back "Why would that be funny?….You know Rachel isn't even close to being the person that she used to be….I think she and Mouth would be great parents…So I'd appreciate if you didn't talk about my friend like that"
Lucas stepped closer to Brooke and pulled her against him again "I'm sorry…you know I didn't mean anything by it…So another baby…you sure you can handle that more dirty diapers…more 2 am feedings and 4 am feedings…sleepless nights…vomit…" Lucas swayed slowly with Brooke in his arms.
"More of you saying "Wake up Brooke the baby wants you" " Brooke smiled up at Lucas and stuck her tongue out.
"I can't wait" Lucas leaned down and kissed Brooke on the forehead
"You know there are advantages to trying for another baby" Brooke informed wrapping her arms around Lucas' neck.
"Really?…and what's that?" he asked looking down at Brooke.
"We get to practice first" Brooke stood up on her tip toes and kissed Lucas on the nose quickly.
"Well you know I'm a stickler for practice…speaking of which I think we should start now" Lucas tightened his grip on Brooke and started to back her down the hallway to the bedroom.
Brooke turned in his arms and took a hold of his hand "Works for me"
Lucas looked back down the hallway and into the living room "Shouldn't we turn the lights and TV off first?"
Brooke shook her head "No…Nick Lachey is on Leno in like 20 minutes so I've got time to kill until then"
"Ha Ha" Lucas fake laughed "You know I didn't hear you complain one time when we had sex at my mom and Andy's house the other night"
Brooke shrugged her shoulders "Well I liked you then and that was before I realized Nick Lachey might be back on the market so I've got to watch Leno and see"
"Well keep talking like that and you can go right to the market with him" Lucas folded his arms and raised his eyebrow.
"Yeah but if I did that then where would you move to?…I mean the garage is nice but I don't think there's enough room for all those books you've claimed to have read" Brooke smiled and walked over to Lucas and kissed his chin.
"I'm not in the mood to be wooed by you now" Lucas turned his head and looked at the door to the master bathroom.
"Ok…but just so you know all this brooding you're doing is cutting into your 20 minutes" Brooke stepped back and started to walk past him and Lucas picked her up and threw her over his shoulder and carried her to the bathroom door.
"What are you doing?" Brooke asked she laughed and squirmed in his arms.
"Well I just don't like the idea of you thinking such dirty thoughts about some man when we have a one year old in our home….so I think we need to wash your mouth out" Lucas carried Brooke into the bathroom and shut the door behind him

Hannah stood up in her crib and held onto the side of it as she looked around the room. She bent down and grabbed her pacifier and sat back down and looked at her monkey.
"Where are mommy and daddy?" Hannah thought to herself.
She rubbed her eyes and looked back around the room "It's dark in here and I'm lonely…I wonder what mommy and daddy are doing….I bet they're watching TV….that must be really boring so I'm sure they want me to keep them company"
Hannah stood back up and started to cry.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Lucas groaned as Brooke moved to straddle him, he ground his hips up into her and a whimper escaped from her lips as she kissed her way down his shoulder. Brooke pulled back and untied her bathrobe and pushed it over her shoulders sending her damp hair across her back. Lucas ran his hands up her flat stomach and down to her hips he traced the outline of her Chinese tattoo before lifting her up a little so that he could maneuver out of the towel that was wrapped around his hips.
"God Brooke" Lucas groaned against her neck as she sat back down on his lap.
Hannah's soft cries filled the room from the baby monitor and Brooke pulled back from Lucas' grasp. "The baby" she whispered
Lucas groaned and tightened his grip on her hips bringing her back against him "She's fine…we can't go and get her every time she cries"
"Mama…..Dada" Hannah's voice came from the small white monitor that sat on the nightstand she was quiet for a minute and then started to cry again.
Brooke moved back again and looked at Lucas "I can't listen to her cry like that"
Lucas looked up at Brooke and ran his hand across her cheek "Please Brooke"
"I'll be right back" Brooke kissed him quickly and pulled her robe back over her shoulders and moved off of Lucas' lap.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Brooke walked into the nursery and Hannah instantly stopped crying. She walked over to the crib and picked Hannah up.
"Hi" Hannah said smiling and patting her mother's shoulder.
"What's the matter Hannah Banana?" Brooke asked running her hands through her daughter's dark hair.
"Dada?" Hannah asked and pointed to the door.
"Daddy's in bed princess…mommy's here though" Brooke kissed Hannah's temple and Hannah pulled back and looked at her.
"I go" Hannah said clapping her hands and pointing to the door.
Brooke shook her head "No Hannah you sleep in here….with all of your stuffed animals and your purple monkey" Brooke walked back over to the crib and picked up Hannah's monkey.
"You want your monkey?" Brooke asked handing the monkey to the baby.
"No" Hannah said and pushed Brooke's hand away "Dada"
"Baby daddy is sleeping…just like you need to be cause it's almost midnight" Brooke nuzzled Hannah's cheek and placed a gentle kiss on it.
"Dada" Hannah said sadly and pointed to the door again.
"Ok…let's go see daddy….but then straight to bed" Brooke picked up Hannah's pacifier and walked out of the nursery.
"That's what you think" Hannah thought to herself.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Brooke put Hannah down in the hallway and watched as Hannah walked to her and Lucas' bedroom. She silently prayed that Lucas would be decently clothed so their little girl wouldn't be traumatized. Brooke walked behind her and pushed the door open as Hannah walked in. She sighed thankfully when she saw that Lucas had put on some pajama pants.
"Someone wanted to see her daddy" Brooke informed as Hannah toddled over to the bed and pulled onto the comforter.
"She did?…well come here monkey" Lucas pulled Hannah up on the bed and kissed her on the top of her head.
"Hi Dada" Hannah called and clapped her hands repeatedly
"Hi Hannah" Lucas replied and tickled her sides causing her to laugh showing off her few teeth and dimples.
Brooke walked over to the bed and got in. "I tried to talk her out of it but she just insisted that she come and see you"
"Well I am her favorite" Lucas teased and Brooke pouted and curled down into the bed.
"We'll talk favorites when you push something out of your vagina" Brooke smiled at Hannah and waved before looking up at Lucas.
"Hmm..I love these talks….and don't talk about my vagina like that" Lucas scooted down into the bed and put Hannah in between him and Brooke.
Brooke laughed and rolled her eyes "Aw…Luke your wit astounds me"
Brooke ran her hand down Hannah's arm as the baby started to drift off to sleep. Lucas turned on his side and looked over at Brooke.
"I can take her back to her crib" Lucas offered.
"She's just going to cry…if you move her out of this bed" Brooke kissed Hannah's head and inhaled the soft smell of baby shampoo before pulling back.
"No she won't….besides if we want to try for another baby…we can't really try with her in the bed with us" Lucas picked Hannah up and if on cue she started to whimper.
"I'll be back in a little bit…..DO NOT GO TO SLEEP" Lucas told Brooke and he carried a now crying Hannah out of the bedroom.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Lucas walked into the nursery and sat down in the glider with Hannah she pushed against Lucas' chest as he tried to rock her.
"Hannah…no….it's time to go to sleep" Lucas moved Hannah's hands out of the way and pulled her against him.
"No" Hannah protested and shook her head.
"Hannah…I know you're sleepy….you were with mommy and Aunt Rachel all day today and you didn't get your nap…so don't be cranky with daddy" Lucas rocked in the glider a little faster hoping that the movements would soothe her.
"Mama…Mama" Hannah screamed and started to get hysterical.
Brooke walked into to the nursery door but hid behind it so that Hannah couldn't see her "Is she ok?"
"Mama" Hannah called when she heard her mother's voice.
"She's fine Brooke…I've got it under control" Lucas told her.
"Ok…well I'll be in the bedroom if you need me" Brooke turned around and walked back down the hallway.
"NO…MAMA" Hannah screamed and smacked Lucas on the arm as she struggled to get out of his grasp.
Lucas shook his head and smacked Hannah on her diaper "Bad girl you don't hit"
"Dada Bad" Hannah called in the middle of her temper tantrum.
"Hannah it is past midnight…it's time for you to go to bed" Lucas pulled Hannah back against him and started to rock her again.
"Hey how about daddy tells you a story…A few years ago before your mommy and I got together and got married…I went to New York because my first book was going to get published….well this was right after daddy and your aunt Peyton decided that we were better as friends….so daddy was in New York with my first editor Lindsey…and she and I went to this dinner party and daddy talked to all these people who were going to help me with my book and guess what…of all people to come and see daddy it was your mommy….now I know what you're thinking…yes mommy was the only other friend that was in New York…but that didn't matter…so anyway we went out on the town and we had a lot of fun that night…we went on this carriage ride through the park and it was really nice because we made all these plans for out life together…I think that was when some of the feelings I had for your mommy started to resurface…but you have to understand…when it comes to your mommy…there were always some kind of feelings…It's like walking around and seeing things through a window that has fingerprints and smudges all over and when your mommy came strolling back into my life it was like the smudges were gone…the window was clean…After that mommy and I lost touch for a little while but that doesn't matter because she came back to town and my life was never the same…I mean I thought I was happy but now I know what happy really is…and I can't imagine my life without your mommy or you" Lucas looked down at Hannah who had finally fallen asleep. He picked her up and placed her in her crib and walked out of the nursery and back to the bedroom.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Lucas walked into the bedroom and sighed when he found Brooke curled up in bed asleep. He pulled the cover back and he got into bed and wrapped his arm over her stomach and trailed and kissed her neck. Brooke groaned and curled deeper into the bed.
"Lucas I'm sleeping" Brooke groaned without opening her eyes.
"That's never stopped me before" he murmured against her neck.
Brooke smiled and laughed softly before opening her eyes and turning over on her back.
"You are too much….I heard what you said to Hannah" Brooke looked up at Lucas and he smiled and leaned down and kissed her.
"Well I meant it…I wouldn't say it if it wasn't true" Lucas nuzzled her nose and kissed her forehead.
"I guess I'll have to thank you for saying that" Brooke whispered.
"Really?" Lucas whispered
"Yeah" she whispered back before she kissed him.
The kiss soon deepened and Brooke pushed against Lucas so that he was lying on his back and she moved to straddle him. Lucas wasted no time and he untied the sash on Brooke's robe and pushed it over her shoulders. Lucas kissed his way down her neck and shoulder then back up again. Brooke raised up on her knees and started to pull at the pajama bottoms Lucas had put on. Lucas took the opportunity to roll over so that Brooke was under him. The movement helped Brooke in her effort and she pushed Lucas' pajama pants over his hips. Brooke turned her head and Lucas started to kiss his way down her neck again. Brooke pushed against him again and rolled over so that she was able to straddle him. The only barrier between them was the boxers that Lucas had on, and Brooke sat up and started to grind against his arousal. Lucas groaned, grabbed her hips and sat up. He buried his face in her neck as Brooke rocked against him.
"Brooke….please" Lucas pleaded.
Brooke pulled back and nodded she raised her hips which enabled Lucas to push his boxers over his hips. Brooke sat back down and kissed Lucas he ran his hands down her lower back and moved to grab her hips. Brooke slid back a little and raised up and she groaned when Lucas slid inside of her.
"Luke" she panted softly and started to rock against him. Lucas thrust his hips up off of the bed and into Brooke's trying to quicken the pace she had set.
Ring Ring
Brooke slowed down but she didn't stop she looked over at the phone and groaned "Who'd call this late?"
"I don't know but it doesn't matter" Lucas groaned and tightened his grip on Brooke's hips urging her to continue.
Brooke shook her head and placed a hand on Lucas' chest and stopped. "It might be important"
Lucas gritted his teeth as Brooke moved off of his lap. He watched as she answered the phone and he gripped onto the blanket in an effort to keep from relieving himself.
"Well is he ok…how did it happen?" Brooke asked
"No…that's fine bring him over….ok bye" Brooke looked over at Lucas and smiled sadly and set the phone back on its base.
"Who was that?" Lucas asked as he watched Brooke grab her robe.
"Haley….Nathan somehow twisted his ankle and Haley is going to take him to the emergency room to make sure that he's ok….she wants us to watch Jamie while they're gone" Brooke moved out of the bed and to the dresser to pick out something to put on.
"How did it happen?" Lucas asked
"Haley wouldn't say…but I think that her and Nathan were being kinky…you know since she has her baby bump in the way now they can't do things like they used to" Brooke pulled out a pair of pajamas and Lucas groaned when he watched her get dressed.
"Brooke…come on" Lucas pleaded
Brooke half smiled and she walked over to the bed and sat down "I'm sorry baby…Haley said she'd take him but ever since the whole "Dan" thing she said she'd just feel better if he was with us"
Lucas groaned and reached for his boxers and pajama bottoms. "What am I supposed to do?"
"I'm sorry….I promise I'll make it up to you" Brooke leaned down and kissed him quickly before getting up and walking out of the bedroom.
"I hope" Lucas groaned and got dressed.
