Rivercourt Rambles
Chapter 24
authors note : Is there a side to be taken? Who do you support? Brooke or Lucas?
I finished my diary entry. Then took off my robe and stared at my naked body in the mirror. Lucas was in his home office downstairs.
33 weeks in. 8 months pregnant. The babies were the size of a pineapple. To look at myself and know they were going to grow even bigger. Along with actually going through Braxton Hicks contractions. Day by day i felt the heaviness of the babies.
They hear sound and respond to light.
I was still focused on water birth. Lower back pain. Not sleeping through the night. All expected. Trying to figure out what to pack in my hospital bag is harder then i thought.
I have the babies going home outfits ready to go.
...
The small town was buzzing with excitement and wanting to gain any information or snapshots they could of Brooke Scott. She would be giving birth in the very near future and was laying low. Why was that exactly.?
Something to hide.? The tabloid read.
Who's the baby daddy? Julian Baker or Lucas Scott? The tabloid reporter. Questioned her audience with a smile.
Lucas turned off his laptop and made his way upstairs.
"I'm going to head to the office." Lucas announced.
"I thought we were going to have breakfast and talk." Brooke replied.
"What more is there to say? I'm not Keith i can't raise those babies like he raised me. I love you. But i won't do that." Lucas confessed.
Brooke glared at him. "You said you wanted to move past this but clearly you haven't. That's why you don't want to be in the delivery room. You don't think the twins are yours."
"I've said all i can say about that. What more do you want or expect from me.?" Brooke questioned.
"I want you to get a DNA test done. That can be done while pregnant. I looked into it."Lucas replied.
A hurt expression went across her face.
"Do you really have that little faith and belief in me.?" Brooke questioned.
"I refuse to feed into the gossip and the tabloids."
"I'm not doing that." Brooke stated matter of fact.
"Fine. Then i won't be there when the babies are born i won't let myself fall in love with them for nothing." Lucas proclaimed. Before leaving their bedroom.
