Chapter 9

Days Later

Lucas wanted to hold off on bringing up Brooke. He just needed a better understanding of the coldness and harshness he saw from Peyton. Whenever Brooke was even mentioned.

Which wasn't much lately. (Can we talk?) Lucas asked.

Peyton carefully moved from the crib after placing Sawyer in it.

The new parents had been up at all hours taking care of him.

And sleep wasn't happening much at all.

(Sure let's talk outside of here. And who's taking a nap first he's finally sleeping.) Peyton asked. With a smile as she made her way out of the bedroom.

Lucas lead the way into the bedroom they shared.

(What's on you're mind Luke?) Peyton asked.

(Why did you act that way when Brooke came into you're room to meet Sawyer?) Lucas questioned.

Peyton 's body instantly reacted to Brooke 's name.

Her smile faded. (I don't want to talk about Brooke.)

(Why did you invite her in without talking to me?) Peyton asked.

(She's you're best friend I thought she would of been welcomed.)

(What's going on with the two of you?) Lucas questioned.

(I just want to focus on our family. And forget anything else.)

(This is all I ever wanted. I knew it be okay.)

(I've been looking into bigger houses. I think we should plan on moving. Somewhere bigger.) Peyton replied.

(Once I'm recovered. Nothing else matters to me. But our family.)

(I don't want Brooke apart of it.) Peyton added in.

(You should nap I'll watch out for Sawyer.) Lucas replied.

Sometime Later

(I'm so glad you reached out Luke. I made Sawyer an outfit and I made a care package for Peyton. I wanted to drop by but didn't know if I should.) Brooke explained.

(I appreciate the way you love Peyton and already love Sawyer.)

(But Peyton needs some space from you. We have a family now and you are still figuring out where you're supposed to be.)

(Peyton feels like the two of you are growing apart.) Lucas revealed.

Brooke couldn't hide her hurt expression.

(What exactly did I do wrong?) Brooke asked.

(People change Brooke. I don't think there is anyone to blame.)Lucas replied.
