Unfinished

Chapter 47

authors note : I had mentioned a storyline for Sawyer in the future and i'm going to give a glimpse into that.

It's one thing to doubt the person you are with, if they ever loved you, if they did not. It's something else entirely when you start to doubt yourself."

I knew my father loved me. I never doubted that. But when it came to her he was weak. And she knew that. She used it as fuel to keep him stuck. And when it came down to it. My father was conflicted. Love. Trauma bond. Honestly even now. I don't think he could give a proper answer. A 13 year old Sawyer wrote down.

Brooke couldn't help but smile at the sight of changing body. The baby bump that was no longer able to be hidden.

She had picked up Sawyer from school. And was sketching.

As Sawyer played dress up nearby.

"Momma Brooke. Do you think i'll grow up and be pretty and famous like you?" Sawyer asked.

Brooke stopped sketching and looked to the young girl.

"You are beautiful and you are going to be successful in anything you do. Fame is nothing to chase."

"I can't wait to see the young woman you grow to be." Brooke replied.

"Daddy i missed you." Sawyer exclaimed. When she ran over to the entryway.

Lucas hugged her back.

"I need to talk to Brooke alone. Go to you're room my girl." Lucas said.

"Okay. I'll have a tea party." Sawyer replied.

Once they were alone. Lucas focused on Brooke.

"Peyton reached out to me again. Her request is to see Sawyer. To get to know her." Lucas explained.

Brooke glared at him. "She has no boundaries or understanding that no one cares about what she wants or needs." She replied.

"I'm thinking about taking Sawyer to see her." Lucas confessed.

Brooke's eyes went wide. "Why? Peyton wanted to give Sawyer up for adoption. Have you forgotten.? Trid to kill you."

"Killed her father who had stood by her for years."

"Yet you're going to expose Sawyer to what reason?" Brooke asked.

"She's her mother." Lucas replied.

"She's an egg donor. Her life is nothing but regret a void of nothing."

"I'm the mother figure Sawyer knows and loves."

"If you do this. I'm moving out."

"I've put up with so much. Wanting to keep everything going."

"But i matter too Lucas." Brooke replied. The emotion in her voice thick.
