-1Thanks for the reviews guys, I didn't expect everyone to be so upset over Lucas lying to Brooke. You guys are hardcore. The reviews make my day though and I'm really glad that you guys like this story. It's been my baby and I think that writing it has been a good stress reliever. I hope that you continue to review and enjoy this story.
Lucas stood in the front of the door to Lindsey's hotel room. He knew he shouldn't be here. Everything in him told him to just turn around and leave, but he had worked so hard on this book and if there was a problem with it he was sure as hell going to fix it. So he did what his whole heart told him not to he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
He watched as the door swung open and Lindsey stood there dressed in jean shorts and a red lace up top. Her brown hair was down and it cascaded down around her shoulders and back.
"Hey Luke, come on in" Lindsey said smiling as she held the door open for Lucas and let him walk in.
"Lindsey, I know that this is going to sound stupid but do you mind if we just go to the office?" Lucas asked as he watched Lindsey shut the door.
"Luke, I'd rather us just stay here. I mean we're both here and the office is way across town" Lindsey told him before walking over to the couch that was in the living room of her hotel room. "Besides" She continued "Everything that we need is right here"
"It's just I told Brooke that we were going to be at the office" Lucas confessed.
"Lucas Scott lied to his wife?" Lindsey asked "I can't believe that"
"Me either" Lucas said running his hands down the front of his shirt.
"I think it's kind of cute" Lindsey said smiling.
"Why?" Lucas asked.
"Well" Lindsey slowly got up from the couch and walked over to Lucas "It shows me that you haven't changed and you are still the sweet guy I always knew you were. Never wanting to hurt anyone, always doing the right thing"
"It didn't feel like the right thing" Lucas said looking away from Lindsey and out the picture window that overlooked the city.
"Well let's get to work" Lindsey said walking back over to the couch and grabbing her laptop.
Haley and Nathan's House
"Well what makes you think something's up?" Haley asked as she placed some cut up fruit on the table of Leah's highchair. Leah clapped her hands excitedly before grabbing a piece of strawberry and plopping it into her mouth.
"I don't know. I was going to call him at the office and he told me not to. He said for me to just call his cell" Brooke said as she held a piece of toast for Isaiah as the baby chewed on it.
"Maybe he is having trouble with his connecting lines. I know that he was at one time. The calls would get disconnected" Haley explained as she heard Leah sneeze and turned her attention to her daughter.
"Well, bless you princess" Haley said as she watched Leah rub her eyes.
"She's getting a cold" Haley said looking back at Brooke "Now Jamie's going to get a cold, Nathan's going to get a cold and I'm going to get a cold. All because Nathan can't put her hat on her when he takes her out"
"Tutor Wife, that's an awful hat. No wonder Nathan doesn't put it on her" Brooke said.
"He always says it reminds him of my poncho. I still don't understand what was wrong with that poncho" Haley folded her arms over her chest as Jamie walked in the front door.
"Hey mama, can I have a piece of peanut butter pie?" Jamie shut the door behind him and looked at Haley.
"No sir, we are going to dinner when your dad gets home from the gym. You can have an apple or an orange" Haley said looking at Jamie who pouted.
"But mama…" Jamie started.
"No…"But Mama" me…James Lucas Scott" Haley raised an eyebrow at Jamie who looked away from his mother's gaze and down at the floor. "You can go and get washed up for dinner"
"Okay….." Jamie said his voice trailing off and he turned and walked out of the kitchen just as Hannah walked in crying.
"Mommy" Hannah cried running past Jamie and over to Brooke.
"What's wrong baby girl?" Brooke asked as Hannah ran over to her.
"I….hit…my….leg…."Hannah said through strangled sobs and buried her face in Brooke's legs as she cried.
"I'm sorry baby" Brooke soothed as she rested a hand on Hannah's back and rubbed it.
"Hold…me…" Hannah cried into Brooke's legs.
"Sweetie, I can't I've got Isaiah" Brooke explained as she felt the baby reaching for her glass of ice water. "No no buddy" Brooke said pulling the glass away from the baby's reach.
"MOMMY….."Hannah screamed throwing her body backwards and onto the floor in the kitchen.
"Hannah" Brooke said looking at Haley who stood up and walked over to her.
"I'll take this one" Haley said reaching for Isaiah who laughed and reached for his aunt.
"Hi" Isaiah said touching Haley's cheek.
"Hey fat kid" Haley said leaning in to kiss Isaiah's cheek. "Lets finish your toast" Haley grabbed the plate and walked back over to her chair and gabbing the triangle cut piece of toast and handing it to the baby.
Brooke leaned down and picked Hannah up off the floor and sat up in the chair with her. Hannah continued to sob and she clung to Brooke as Brooke rocked side to side in the chair. "She's so sleepy…she needs an N…A…P"
"I knew she did…..Nathan always wears the kids out you can count on him to bring them home sleepy…then he goes to work out and I deal with this on a daily basis" Haley said as she looked at Leah who was rubbing her eyes and content with squeezing her banana slices between her tiny hands and then eating the mashed up banana off of her hand.
"Nathan's right…she's a nasty eater" Haley said shaking her head "I'm going to have to teach my baby girl some manners"
"She's great though Haley" Brooke said looking at the brown haired baby who was the exact mini me of her mother.
"She's the best baby girl Nathan and Haley Scott have brought forth on the earth" Haley smiled looking at her daughter and then at Brooke.
"I just don't know what I should do…Should I call him at the office?" Brooke asked "Or should I just trust that he's telling me the truth?"
"Well what do you think in your heart about it?" Haley asked
"I want to believe him Haley, I just…" Brooke said "I am just so scared of losing him…he's my best friend…my everything"
"I know he is Brooke" Haley said.
"I'm going to go and get her blanket and Isaiah's diaper bag and I'll get going cause Nathan will be home and you guys will want to go to dinner" Brooke said walking out of the kitchen just as the door opened and Nathan walked in with a friend.
"Hey Hales" Nathan said walking over to his wife and leaning down to kiss her hello and then giving Leah a hello kiss on her head.
"Hey good looking…who's your friend?" Haley asked.
"Well Haley, I'm glad that you asked cause this is Julian Baker…he's doing a documentary on the Bobcats and he wants to interview the prospective players so he's here to interview me" Nathan said.
"Hello Julian" Haley said extending her hand to him.
"Mrs. Scott" Julian said nodding as he showed her a smile.
"Call me Haley" Haley said dropping her hand from Julian's.
"Ok, Haley" Julian said.
"And this sticky mess is my daughter Leah…and my son Jamie is around here somewhere" Nathan said walking over to Haley and placing a hand on Isaiah's head. "Oh and this is my nephew Isaiah"
"Hey Nathan" Brooke said as she walked back into the kitchen.
"Brooke, I was wondering where you were" Nathan said as he pulled his sister in law into a hug.
"Who's your friend?" Brooke asked.
"Brooke this is Julian…he's doing a documentary on the Bobcats and came to interview me and the family" Nathan explained.
"Brooke…it's very nice to meet you" Julian said extending his hand to her.
"You too" Brooke said shaking Julian's hand. He looked down at her wedding ring and then back at Brooke.
"Some guys have all the luck" Julian said not taking his eyes off of Brooke.
"Thank you" Brooke said as she adjusted a sleeping Hannah on her hip.
"So…." Haley said breaking the awkward silence that suddenly filled the room.
"Yeah, I'll show you around the house" Nathan said to Julian as the two men walked out of the kitchen.
"Oh my god" Haley said "He wants you"
"Ok Haley you've been spending too much time with Rachel…He doesn't want me" Brooke said shaking her head.
"I have not and you take that back or else" Haley said.
"Or what?" Brooke said
"I'll tell Peyton who really drove through her flower garden that night she and Jake had their dinner party…the flower garden she worked 18 months on" Haley said as she rubbed Isaiah's back.
"I take it back" Brooke said "I still can't believe I did that I mean who the hell plants flowers that close to the road?"
Lindsey's Hotel Room
"Oh man I've got to go" Lucas said looking at the clock and seeing that it was almost 9pm.
"You don't have to go…you could stay on the couch…I mean it's not a big deal" Lindsey said placing a hand on his leg.
"Yeah, it is a big deal" Lucas said moving Lindsey's hand and getting up from the couch. "I've got to get home to my family"
"Luke…" Lindsey said getting up from the couch.
"I've got to go Lindsey…I'm sorry" Lucas said "I'll see you later"
"Bye" Lindsey said as she watched Lucas walk out the door.
Lucas and Brooke's House
"It sure did take you a long time at the office today" Brooke said as she brushed her teeth.
"I know I mean I had a lot to work on today and it just took a lot longer than expected Pretty Girl" Lucas said
"Was Lindsey there?" Brooke asked
"What?" Lucas asked
"Was Lindsey there? I know that might sound dumb to ask but you usually work on your own or with one of the guys at the office" Brooke said
"No….Lindsey wasn't at the office today" Lucas said
"Oh…ok" Brooke said walking over to Lucas and wrapping her arms around his neck. "You know you never let me finish this afternoon…I had to do everything myself"
"You did?" Lucas asked raising an eyebrow. "Tell me about it"
"I fingered myself so hard baby. God, I wanted it to be you" Brooke said as she closed her eyes and thought back to earlier.
"Mmm keep going baby" Lucas pleaded closing his eyes and thinking of the image of Brooke touching herself in the most intimate of places flooding through his mind.
"I would but…I'm tired" Brooke said pulling back and walking out of the bathroom.
"Brooke.." Lucas groaned.
"What?" Brooke asked sticking her head back in the door.
"I didn't get to finish at all…" Lucas said gesturing down to the tent that had formed in his boxers.
"Luke, I was riding you so hard this morning and you had to leave so I had to take care of myself. Now you can take care of yourself" Brooke said before blowing him a kiss and getting into bed.
"Damn…" Lucas said and walked to the shower and turned the cold water on before undressing and stepping in.
Jake and Peyton's House
"Babe are you sure you're ok?" Jake asked as he laid in bed with Peyton.
"Yeah, the twins are just kicking like crazy" Peyton said as she curled up on her side.
"Are you sure you aren't in labor?" Jake asked.
"No, my water hasn't broken" Peyton assured.
"Well maybe if you just rest" Jake said as he turned the bedside light out and wrapped his arms around Peyton.
"Jake?" Peyton said after a few minutes.
"Yeah babe" Jake answered.
"After the twins are born…I want you to get a vasectomy" Peyton said.
"Excuse me?" Jake said.
"I want you to get a vasectomy…Cause I can't deal with having twins again" Peyton said.
"But Peyton" Jake whined.
"Jake…you'll be fine" Peyton assured
"Why?" Jake asked
"Cause if you don't I'll never have sex with you again…and that thing you like that I do I'll give it up" Peyton said raising her head off the pillow to look at Jake.
"Ok…I'll get it…" Jake said sighing as Peyton kissed his cheek and closed her eyes. Surely she wouldn't make him go through with a vasectomy, would she?
