Only One
Chapter 14
Authors Note : Thank you for the support. And stay tuned. I love reading you're feedback.
I pushed the truth too far tonight
I was dancing around it.
Put on you're records and regret me.
Later on that night
(You look handsome. And I already know you will treat this girl with my care and respect.)
(As you're mom and I have taught you.) Lucas said.
(Of course dad.) Carter said.
(I got her present.) Carter revealed.
Lucas smiled warmly. (I'm sure she'll like it. Have fun. Be yourself.) He replied.
Carter nodded his head in agreement. Lucas pulled him for a hug.
Before watching him leave the bedroom.
Was I ever that young? Lucas thought to himself.
So young and innocent. Experiencing life through the eyes of his children was one of the aspects of parenthood he enjoyed the most.
(Mom we have to go now.) Carter insisted.
One for the photo album one for the living room and table. Brooke thought to herself. As she snapped pictures.
(They don't want to be and miss the previews.) Lucas said. Putting his hand on shoulder.
And with that. The couple watched Carter and Rosemary leave.
...
(I'm glad we got to meet Paisley 's welcome here anytime.) Brooke said.
(Isn't she the best? I didn't know you and Mr. Keller were friends.)
(He told me the two of you knew each other. And lost touch.) Paul explained.
(Exactly we lost touch and we weren't really friends.)
(Just people who went to school together.) Brooke clarified.
(I love you goodnight son.) Brooke said. Leaning over to kiss his forehead.
Someday soon she wouldn't be allowed to do that. So she cherished this closing window of time.
(I love you too momma.) Paul replied.
As the lights in the bedroom shut off. Brooke quickly caught a glimpse of his recent sketches.
One was a family photo and the other was of Paisley.
Brooke sighed deeply. As she left the bedroom.
She could tolerate Chris Keller being around. For Paul 's sake.
Even though she felt her body react laying eyes on him eventually.
...
(No more bedtime stories. Time for sleep.) Lucas said.
(But daddy I'm not tired.) Dawn stated matter of fact.
Lucas handed her her purple monkey.
Dawn placed it beside her on the bed.
(I'm going to get you some warm milk then off to bed.) Lucas replied.
(With chocolate syrup.) Dawn replied.
Lucas made his way out of the bedroom.
Through the hallway and down the stairs.
He was surprised to find Brooke there.
She was clutching a wine glass. He thought was refilled because he smelled the alcohol on her breath.
(Is this seriously how the rest of my life is going to be?)
(You being stubborn and stuck in what you think a family is.?)
(Just admit that you ended up with me because kept getting pregnant.( Brooke exclaimed.
(You should go to bed Brooke. You won't remember this tomorrow.) Lucas replied.
As he got out a cup poured in some milk and chocolate syrup before putting it into the microwave.
Once it was done he took it out.
(You've just wasted my time. Having circumstances keep you tied together isn't love.)
(We were never meant to be. Maybe it's my fault for realizing it so late.) Brooke said.
...
Brooke soon got upstairs and climbed into bed after that.
She got out her cellphone and started to type.
What if I wanted you to stay in town and stick for
Brooke sent the message.
Then I would stay. What you want you get with me. Julian replied.
