"What's going on? The two of you just showing up here doesn't happen especially given the hour." Brooke questioned.
"We should talk inside." Peyton said.
"Just tell me." Brooke insisted.
"Nathan is moving back to town. According to what he's told me and us. He wants to leave what happened before he left town in the past." Rachel explained.
"And he's requesting to see you." Peyton added on.
"I haven't thought about Nathan for years now. I have so much going on. Can't one of you just tell him i wish him the best and let it be?" Brooke questioned.
"Nathan isn't going to be satisfied with that. I think you should go see him hear what he has to say then." Rachel replied.
"Then you can leave it alone for good." Peyton said.
"I'll think about it." Brooke replied.
...
Sometime Later
"I'm going on break. Clear my schedule for the next hour or so." Lucas said to his receptionist.
Brooke smiled as she lingered in his office doorway.
"Get in here." Lucas said. With a smile.
"Are you hungry?" "Having cravings yet?" Lucas asked.
"I am hungry but i didn't come here to talk about lunch."
"Is it you the baby.? The boys?" Lucas consumed in his voice.
"No nothing like that. Peyton and Rachel came to Clothes over bros and informed me that Nathan is moving back to Tree Hill with his wife and wants to see me." Brooke explained.
Lucas sighed deeply.
"I hate him. Especially with how he acted before. But we don't control each other."
"If you want to see him. You should. But i will be there in the car."
"In case he needs to be reminded who you're husband is." Lucas replied.
Brooke kissed him hard. "So protective."
"I think if he saw you there he would behave himself. But who knows." Brooke replied.
Lucas had this nagging feeling inside. Nathan's motivations were far from pure.
Yet he knew when it came to protecting the people he loved.
He had no limitations.
...
"You are pregnant Brooke. 7 weeks." Her OB announced.
"Our home away from home." Lucas said. As he sat down beside Brooke.
"Please excuse my husband." Brooke said.
"Nothing wrong with happily married and commited couples growing their family."
"Now after this baby. It's back on birth control." The OB proclaimed.
"Yes three is our limit. Are the blood test i had done days ago ready yet?" Brooke asked.
"They are and i can confirm. The two of you will be welcoming a daughter." The OB announced.
"Yes. I knew it." Lucas said.
"A mini Brooke. I can't wait." Lucas added in.
He leaned over kissing her gently.
Brooke kissed him back. Feeling such relief excitment and nervousness.
A daughter would be all new to them.
...
After picking up Emmet and Axel. The couple headed home.
The boys full of energy and just happy to be back with their parents.
"Blocks momma." Emmet said.
"No Fort." Axel said.
"I'll build a fort with ."
"And mom will play blocks with Emmet." Lucas said.
Brooke went into the living room. Going after Emmet who had already spilled the blocks on the floor.
She just marveled in how his young mind worked.
She couldn't believe in a matter of months they would be starting all over again.
"Daddy what's this picture.? It looks like an alien." Axel asked.
Lucas only then realized his copy of the ultrasound picture had fallen from his pocket.
"Its an ultrasound picture." Lucas replied.
"What's that?" Axel asked. As he kept building the fort.
"Its a picture of where the baby is going to live and grow in mommy's tummy." Lucas replied.
The young boy's eyes went wide. He stopped building.
"Why is there an alien in momma's tummy?" Axel asked.
