Lucas walked over to her. Hugging her. Kissing her. Then placing his hand on her belly.
"Kiddo. Give you're mom a break. You have alot of love and spoiling to look forward too. We're very excited to meet you." Lucas said.
"It's either. I can't sleep or if i do i have these vivid weird dreams." Brooke replied.
Putting a hand on her belly. As she felt gentle fluttering from within. The baby was too small for kicks still.
"How is my favorite talented writer?" Brooke asked. As she sat down and gazed at the plate of food in front of her.
Then focused solely on her husband.
"Great. Career wise things have never been better."
"At home. I'm the happiest luckiest man on earth." Lucas proclaimed.
"That's exactly what i hope to hear." Brooke replied.
"Massages. Bubble baths. Cooking. Daddy takes the best possible care of us." Brooke said. Putting her hand on her belly.
After having breakfast together. The couple went to their seperate work places.
Today she would meet her mom for lunch.

Lucas arrived at his office. Surprised to see Peyton sitting at his desk. In his chair.
"I'm so proud of you. I knew you would become a success." Peyton said.
"You really shouldn't be here. I meant what i said about having no contact. Given our history. It needs to be this way." Lucas proclaimed.
"If i had just accepted you're proposal all those years ago. My life would be what i envisioned."
"We'd be married by now. With our own family."
"I miss you so much." Peyton admitted.
"We can't go back. You were right then. We were too young to be married. I realize that now." Lucas replied.
"You said you would never cut me out of you're life. What happened to that guy?" Peyton questioned.
"The way things are between you and Brooke make that impossible."
"I need you more then she does." Peyton confessed.
"Peyton. I'm not doing this with you. I have to work." Lucas insisted.
