Structured Chaos
Chapter 16
At 25 weeks. I was 6 months into my pregnancy now.
My baby bump was as big as a soccer ball. Actually feeling kicks in every direction is just mind blowing.
Lately Lucas and I talk about the baby and nothing else.
I want to move past this but i don't know how. Brooke thought to herself.
As she had lunch with Rachel and Peyton.
...
"Life with Nathan and the kids are better than ever."
"Which means we can solely focus on you and Brooke."
"What's going on there.?" Haley questioned.
"We're distant. I shouldn't of left. I know."
"But why doesn't what i did before count for anything.?" Lucas asked.
"It counts and it matters don't doubt that."
"When Brooke is angry and upset it's scorched earth to the other person. And i'm sure having Victoria and Ted around doesn't help."
"You and Brooke need to work this out. The two of you love each other. A baby is on the way."
"Trust me having a shaky relationship foundation along with a newborn will push you to you're limits."
"Go home to you're wife once we're done and repair what needs to fixed." Haley insisted.
...
When Lucas eventually made it home. He found Brooke safely tucked away in their bedroom.
Baby books all over the bed.
"Karen brought these over. Along with dinner and dessert she wants us to try out."
"We need to pick out a baby name." Brooke said.
"I've apologized but you haven't. If we're going let this go and focus on what really matters. Our marriage and the baby." Lucas replied.
Brooke sighed deeply. "I am sorry. I shouldn't of tried to test you by pushing you away."
"I just want to get back to us. I was pushing before wanting us to be close because i was scared of you wanting or desiring someone."
"I was and am insecure about that." Brooke admitted.
