Hi everyone… So I just wanted to apologize for my lack of UPDATING this story! I haven't given up on it but I know someone of you must hate me for neglecting it! I promise, promise that the neglect stops here! I love, love love our beloved BRUCAS so I will keep my faith and hope because we BLover's so need it these days! The more I write and the more I re-watch Seasons 1-3 of OTH; the more I despise Peyton and PUCAS! I realized that Peyton was nothing more than a back stabbing, knieving-two timing Biatch! She was never a true friend to Brooke and for that she didn't and still doesn't deserve Brooke's friendship! At times I hate Lucas with a passion too; but damnit; I love my Brucas! He needs to wake the hell up and kick Peytwhore to the curb! Gawd, Mark needs to freakin' get over PUCAS already! Okay, so enough of my ranting…
To everyone who's still reading and keeping up with my story, you guys FREAKING, FREAKING RoOoOoOoOoOoCk… so Thank YoOoOoOoOouhz from the bottom of my BLovin' Heart! I hope I can still keep or restore faith of some of you BLover's through my stories! :0)

…
"GET UP, GET UP, GET THE HELL UP" shouted Brooke as she made a lot of racket startling the two as they jumped up to their feet "What the hell do you think you're doing!" she exclaimed
"We threw a party" he smirked yawning as the young brunette nudge him in his side
"Well duh smart ass" she snapped livid "But why the hell here? Do you know how much this is going to cost me in repairs-God!" she groaned rubbing her temples once she glanced around the destroyed room.
"It's not like you can't afford it" She glared at him
"That's still no excuse!" she barked
"Call the police, have them deal with these punks" sneered Rachel as she handed the brunette the phone
"Can my freaking day get any worst?" she hissed as she reached over just as she felt a pair of hands shove her hard causing her to stumble backwards falling onto a display table.
"JOSH!" shouted Sam shocked as her hand automatically covered her mouth
"Oooowww" shrieked Brooke as they watched her phone smash into a nearby wall breaking into pieces
"Crap!" he silently hissed. He only meant to toss it across the room
"You little" cursed Brooke
"Shit" finished Rachel
"You're so going to pay for that" roared the brunette as he shrugged his shoulders
"Brooke, are you alright? Are you hurt?" asked a concerned Rachel as she watched Brooke rub her sore bottom and side wincing.
"I'm fine; just another damn bruise to add to my collection" she sneered threw gritted teeth
"She's pregnant you ass; I swear to god if you harmed the baby in any way-" she exclaimed darting towards him as she grabbed his arm with force "There will be hell to pay"
"Let go" he barked as they stared each other down
...
"Welcome back Mr. Scott"
"Thank you Mr. Turner" smiled Lucas as both men shook hands. "God" he grinned shaking his head still in disbelief "You don't know how great it feels to be back" he chuckled as they walked towards the gym. "It's been too long"
"I know how much all this means to you Coach Scott" Lucas smiled as it was music to his ears "The boys, basketball, the games. You were once there yourself living the dream with Coach Durham" Lucas nodded "I'm sorry that it was taken away from you"
"I am too" he replied "But my hopes and dreams aren't over. Yeah I can't play pro or more than 15mins a game, but coaching and teaching is an incredible feeling not to mention it keeps basketball close to me"
"Well, its' great to have you back" he said once again as they stopped right in front of the gym. "I know the team as well as your assistant coaches will be beyond ecstatic. Good luck with the rest of the season"
"Thank you sir" he replied as Principal Turner walked away. Lucas took a deep breath as he reached for the door.
"WELL UNCLE LUCAS" shouted Jamie as everyone broke out into laughter once he stepped into the gym. He was beyond surprised to see the whole team there since school basically just started.
"Way to be subtle buddy" chuckle Nathan
"WELL?" shouted the team
"I'm baaaaaack" he smiled just as the team along with Skillz and Nathan hooted and hollered making a big commotion.
"That's awesome Luke"
"Yeah dawg, welcome back"
"It's good to be back; alright, alright guys settle down, settle down. Seeing that I only have a few minutes of your time before the break bell rings I have a few things I wanted to say" The team got quiet as they settled down into the bleachers. "I owe you all an apology over my actions"
"It's okay Uncle Lucas" yelled Jamie as everyone snickered
"Thanks Jluke" he chuckled as Jamie beamed
"I'm not going to make any excuses over my actions for that night; I was way out of line and because of that it got me suspended. I let my personal life take control when I should have checked it at the door before I stepped foot though those doors. When we enter this gym, our sanctuary-we're a team, and as a team we are to stick together. I know that I let you all down but I also know that I left you in good hands while I was away. I wanted to thank each and every one of you for showing Coach Taylor, Coach Scott and our little Jluke" he smiled as he locked eyes with his godson "The respect you all show me. Basketball isn't just a sport-but it's a game, a game that we all love playing" The team nodded their heads "So all that I ask of you for the rest of the season is to keep practicing hard, playing hard, bringing it hard and most of all-have fun. Enjoy what you love to do, because win or lose- we're a team and as a team; we what guys-?" he asked
"STICK TOGETHER!" The team shouted as they hoot and hollered
"It's good to have you back Coach Scott" yelled the team sporadically as Lucas smiled
"It's good to be back guys. "Now" he said clasping his hands together "SUICIDES" he shouted as the team moaned and groaned causing the coaches to laugh "I'm just messing with you; get to class. I'll see you this afternoon for practice"
…
"It was my fault" shouted Sam as all eyes were now directed towards her
"NO it wasn't" he replied bitterly as he angrily glared at her "We talked about this; I'm the one who threw the party. You had nothing-"
"Stop it" she replied cutting him off "I'm not going to let you take the wraps for something I did" she sighed "Look, I was the one who threw the party"
Brooke was outraged as all these emotions over came her once she locked eyes with the younger brunette. "Are you insane!" she shouted as Sam's eyes fell to the ground "First off you're 15, 15! Second drinking and vandalising" she lashed out as she threw a can of spray paint causing Sam to jump "and third you broke and entered a place where I work! Your stupid adolescent party not only ruined my store, but it damaged a wedding dress I've been working so hard on for months; months! Do you know how screwed I am huh?"
"I-I'm sorry" she muttered as she saw the disappointment in Brooke's eyes
"You're sorry?" she asked in disbelief as they kept their eyes locked "Well sorry isn't good enough Sam. I let it slide when you shop lifted from me, not to mention when you shoved me hard to get out of my grip. I also gave you a bag of B/C originals because I knew you needed them and this is how you repay me by trashing my store?! " she exclaimed beyond appalled- feeling a little light headed as she slowly sat back down on the display table
"Brooke" gasp both girls as Josh just stood there rolling his eyes
Sam didn't know what it was, but she felt a connection with Brooke. Maybe it was all those talks Haley imbedded in her head about how great and loving Brooke is. She shook it off not wanting to have those feelings towards the brunette. She didn't have anyone growing up; she sure as hell didn't need anyone now.
"I'm fine" she replied waving them off as Rachel handed her a water bottle
"Brooke why don't you calm down, it's not good for you or the baby to get worked up." She nodded
"Sam" she said as she took a deep breath "I know that we don't really know each other, but you're better than this. I know you are; just give me a chance to help you-"
"Look lady" shouted Josh as he stepped in front of Sam "She doesn't have to take this crap of a lecture from you, nor does she need your sympathy! You're not her mother so back the hell off"
"Shut up Josh" mumbled Sam
"You know what you're right. I'm not her mother or anything to either of you-"
"Thank god" scoffed Rachel as the teens rolled their eyes
"But seeing that you both totally destroyed my store you're going to get my crap of a lecture" she barked "So sit you ass down"
"Yeah whatever lady" he chuckled as Brooke was furious "Sam lets go" he said as he extended his hand out to her causing her to glance back and forth between the two "Sam"
Brooke had enough "You" she said glaring at the blonde "Get the hell out and don't ever come back" she barked before turning her attention back to the brunette "As for you Sam" she sneered pointing to the couch "Sit, we need to talk"
"I'm not leaving without you Sam; so lets go now" he sneered as she stayed quiet not sure what she should do "Sam" he said placing his hands on her shoulder as he caught her attention "Don't listen to her; you don't need her okay." Brooke and Rachel listened intently. "It's always been me and you against the world; I'll always be here to protect you okay?" Josh was right; it's always been them two against the world. As long as she had him she would be okay "So, lets' go-" he asked as she finally noddled unable to look Brooke in the eyes.
"I-I'm sorry" she shouted over her shoulder as Josh held the door open for her.
"You're just going to let them go; just like that?" hissed Rachel in disbelief as they watched the door swing shut "Those two little shits should be punished Brooke, don't let them walk away"
"Rach" sigh Brooke shaking her head beyond disappointed in Sam's choice "Just drop it"
"Just drop it?" she repeated appalled as if it was the craziest thing she's ever heard "God, you're such a damn softie; you're pissing me off Davis" barked the fuming red head. "When are you going to stop being a damn door mat huh?" she sneered livid as Brooke closed her eyes
"What the hell do you want me to do huh? Call the police; then what? They'll probably just stick them with hours of community service-"
"Well at least they'll get some type of punishment!" she replied crossing her arms at her chest
"They're just-"
"They're just what Brooke; acting out?" she shouted as the brunette stayed quiet "Don't give me that crap! WE acted out in high school but never once did we ever trash some one else's property"
Silence
"Look, I know you feel bad for the girl, I do and part of you wants to save her, but you can't honey. She doesn't want the help"
"I don't want to talk about this anymore so stop your bitchin' and help me clean up" she hissed as Rachel rolled her eyes.
"You know I'm right" Brooke sighed
"I know" she muttered through a yelp of frustrations as Rachel shook her head
"I think you should get checked out for the baby's sake" she said 25minutes later as she watched Brooke limp around. "That landing didn't look so good"
"Well it sure as hell didn't feel good either" she sighed throwing plastic cups into a garbage bag "But I'm fine; nothing but a lovely slowly forming black and blue bruise"
"Bruise or no bruise, you need to get checked out. I'm so not going to risk anything happening to my niece or nephew; not to mention I'm in no mood in wanting to deal with the wraths of your blue-eyed brooding blonde once he finds out" she whined as she grabbed her cell phone
"He doesn't have to find out" Rachel stared at the brunette with raised eyebrows like she was crazy "Don't call him; I'm fine really. He has an important meeting with Tuner"
"Meeting or no meeting, his baby and fiancée comes first"
"Rach-"
"Scott-" Brooke groaned as she grabbed her purse and keys before following the annoying red head out of the store
…
"Okay class don't forget to read chapters 2-8 and complete the section review. There will be a pop quiz tomorrow on what you read, so be ready!" shouted Haley over the bell
"Awwwww" moans and groans filled the room as the students packed up and slowly start to disappear
"Yeah, yeah, see you all tomorrow" she chuckled as she walked around and picked up books off the desks. "What's going on Sam?" she asked as she noticed the brunette off in a daze not moving from her seat.
Silence
"Sam; yooou-hoo" she laughed waving her arms back and forth in front of the girl's face
"Huh; what?" she replied snapping out of it locking eyes with her teacher
"I asked you what's going on; you're usually the first one to race out of my classroom and to my surprise you're still sitting here and class let out 15mins ago. So I'm going to ask you once again" she smiled "What's going on?"
Sam sighed as her eyes concentrated on writing plastered across her desk "It's nothing"
"Sam you know you can talk to me right"
"I know but I should go" she said as she started getting up
"Sam wait" said Haley as the brunette slowly turned around "I'm actually glad you're here."
"Well you're lucky because I wasn't even going to come" she silently mumbled under her breath
"Excuse me?" Haley asked as she didn't catch what the younger brunette just said
"Oh nothing" she replied clearing her throat "So why are you glad I'm here?" she asked trying to change the subject
"Oh right" chuckled Haley "I had asked Brooke to stop by and talk to you after class today; I was hoping she'd get here before it let out but-" Her face fell at the mention of the fashionista's name
"She's not coming"
"But I guess she must have gotten busy. Wait; what?" asked Haley confused
"She's not coming" she said once again unable to make eye contact with Haley.
"What do you mean she's not coming; do you know something I don't?"
Silence
"Sam"
"Well you see" she sighed "I um; she's uh"
"Sam" said Haley once again
"I-I threw a party in her store last night; it got out of hand and she caught us there this morning-" she rambled as Haley's mouth dropped open.
"Tell me this is some type of joke" Sam closed her eyes as she shook her head "SAMANTHA!" yelled Haley
"I-I know it was stupid Mrs. Scott"
"Yeah it was beyond stupid" she hissed "Let me guess, she let you guys go without calling the police?" Sam nodded
"I'm sorry Mrs. Scott I am"
"You're apologizing to the wrong person" she replied disappointedly as she grabbed her cell phone.
…
"Scoot up for me Brooke" said Dr. Cordova as she helped Brooke slide up after completing her examination.
"I know what you're thinking" she sighed "I already got an ear full from my fiancé"
"Brooke" said Lucas and Dr. Cordova in unison. He reached over and intertwined his fingers with his pretty girl as they listened
"Daddy's just worried about mommy and baby" she said patting Brooke's knee as Lucas nodded his head. "Force is never good on a body, any body Brooke" she nodded "We're just worried-"
"Worried-Is there something we should be worried about?" asked Lucas frightened
"Yes and No" she replied as the parents to be went some what pale "Everything's okay as of right now" she said reassuring them as she put their minds at ease. "But like I told you before- the first 3 months of pregnancy are the most critical, and since your body has gone thorough an extreme amount of shock from your attack-" Brooke closed her eyes as Lucas squeezed her hand "I don't know how much more I can do or say to emphasize that you take it easy. Yes we're in your second trimester"
"But that's good right because now my miscarriage rates' dropped?"
"You've been studying I see" she smiled as Brooke nodded
"Yes it does mean that it's dropped significantly, but it doesn't mean that it's been completely eliminated either. Risk of miscarriage can continue through week 20 so we just have to monitor you carefully. Since your body is still healing, and you being the punching bag or door matt of some people is unacceptable Brooke" she nodded "Just so I can put my mind at ease as well as make sure you and baby Brucas is safe" she said as they glance between each other "I'm strictly putting you on bed rest for the next month or until I feel that baby Brucas is out of harms way"
"There's no room for discussion Brooke" said Lucas quickly before the brunette had a chance to protest. "I strongly agree with Dr. Cordova on this one. I don't know how much more of that beautiful body of yours can take Brooke" he said as tears welded up in his eyes but not daring to spill as he watched in surprise and taken back when all she did was nod her head in agreement.
"I'm sorry" she murmured against his chest as she felt tears streamed down her face "I've been trying to work less and stay out of harms way but I swear it always finds me some how"
"Brooke-"
"I will do anything and everything you ask me too as long as the baby's okay. I won't even fight you on it anymore" she exclaimed as she and Lucas locked eyes "Our baby means the world to me; and if you want me to quit working I will, if you want me to give up my business I will-"
"Brooke-"
"Hell I'll will even give up shopping" she cried as he rubbed circles along her back "Luke, I don't know what I would do if-" she paused unable to say it as he kissed her forehead
"Shhh shhhh" he whispered as she sobbed into his chest. "Don't think like that baby" he replied
"Brooke" said Dr. Cordova as her heart went out for her patient. "We weren't trying to upset you"
"Nor were we trying to make you give up your dreams" said Lucas as Dr. Cordova nodded
"We just want you to understand the importance of it all"
"I-I get it, I-I do" she replied
"Good, as long as we have an understanding" she eagerly nodded "Now lets' see if baby Brucas can surprise us today"
...
"There you go" smiled Lucas as he put her down on their big comfy couch
"I could have walked you know"
"I know, but you heard Dr. Cordova- bed rest for a month pretty girl"
"But it doesn't mean I can't walk at all" she replied as he chuckled
"I'm going to go call Skillz and tell him I can't make it to practice" he said as he headed towards the kitchen
"FREEZE BROODY" she yelled pointing to him not taking her eyes off the baby photo in her other hand
"What's wrong?" he asked alarmed as he rushed over
"Why aren't you going to practice? It's your first day back as head coach" she asked as they locked eyes
"I know, but you heard the doctor" Brooke sighed shaking her head "I need to be here with you"
"Luke, I'll be fine by myself. I promise I won't move-" Just then his phone rang
"Hi Hales" he chuckled to his best friend's frantic voice
"How's Brooke and baby; is she with you?"
"Yeah she's right here-"
"She better have a good reason why she hasn't called me back! I've been so worried! Put her on the phone Luke" he smiled as he handed Brooke the phone
"Hi tutor-"
"Don't you dare hi tutormom me Tigger" she snapped cutting the brunette off "I was so worried about you- Why didn't you call me back huh; I've left you like 10 messages"
Haley was always a worried wart. "I'm sorry Hales; but Luke and I literally just got home like 10 minutes ago not to mention my cell phone's lying smashed, and broken up into pieces at the store as we speak-"
"I heard about what happened; how are you? How's the baby? Are you-"
"Whoa, whoa slow down tutormom" she chuckled as Lucas rested his hands on her baby bump listening on. "The baby's fine; I'm fine" she smiled as she ran her fingers along Lucas's shaven head as he placed kisses on her tummy "We're both fine, promise. I've been put on bed rest for a month-"
"I'm coming over"
"Hales, I know you've got so much to do today. You don't need-"
"See you in 15-" click the line went dead
"Hales, Hales" Lucas chuckled "Can you believe she hung up on me"
"She's just worried about you-"
"I know, but I don't need a babysitter Luke. I'm capable of lounging around not doing anything for a few hours until you get back" Lucas raised his eyebrows at her
"What, I can. Just give me my sketch book, pencils, house phone and I'll be good to go; ooh, ooh and a bowl of chocolate ice cream- then I'll be good to go" Lucas chuckled as he couldn't help love her even more
"I know baby girl, but I feel a whole lot better now that Hale's going to be around" Brooke rolled her eyes "It'll put my mind at ease while I'm at my first practice" Her eyes lit up
"Yay you're going!" she cheered excitedly "Go get ready for practice baby! THH needs a big come back; no offense to Skillz or Nate" she winked as he chuckled
"I love you crazy girl" he said caressing her cheek as he stared lovingly into her eyes
She pulled him in for a kiss "I, we" he beamed "love you too; now go"
"I'm going, I'm going" he said kissing her once more before running upstairs. "I still want my ice cream when you're all finished broody" he heard her yell as he laughed
…
Brooke laid there quietly in bed as she tossed and turned trying her best not to wake up a sleeping Lucas. She sighed as her mind got the best of her. "It's just I found her sleeping in the back of a car in shop class the other night and I thought if anyone could reach out to her, it would be you- you know?" Brooke stayed quiet as she listened intently "It's just when I look at Jamie, I'd do anything to protect him, and when I look at Sam I'm just wondering who's protecting her. I mean her current foster parents didn't even know she was gone."
"Maybe they can foster her in jail with the way she's heading" replied the bitter brunette as she thought of the day's event.
"Brooke, honey I just think she's acting out for attention. It kinda reminds me of someone else I know back in high school-"
"Haleeeey, I'm sorry. I've got so much going on right now with the baby and C/B. I-I can't take in a teenager let alone try to help her anymore" she replied as Haley nodded "Besides I don't even know how Luke would-"
"It's okay Tigger, really I understand. It's not fair to you for me to even ask after everything that's going on. I shouldn't even try to get myself involved either"
"What are you thinking about pretty girl?" She heard as his voice pulled her back into reality. Even with his eyes closed, he knew something was wrong
"'It's nothing, go back to sleep Luke"
"Brooke" he said turning to face her "It's 3:28am and you're up baby. I know that our baby can keep you up, but something's telling me that, that's not the case tonight" she groaned as he chuckled "What's really going on in that pretty head of yours; talk to me" he pleaded knowing something was troubling her
She took a deep breath as she closed her eyes. "It's just I-I just can't stop thinking about Sam"
"Ah, you mean Sam as in that trouble maker that shop lifted, broke into and trashed your store not to mention her body guard ended up hurting you?"
"Yeah that would be the one" she exhaled loudly as she draw circles against his bare chest with her finger "For some reason I can't help but be drawn to her. Hales and I have determined that she's a lost soul and she just needs some guidance"
"Brooke-"
"I know what you're thinking Luke" she replied cutting him off as she slowly sat up Indian style. "It's just that when Haley told me that she found her sleeping in the back of a car in shop class, it broke my heart. I don't understand how her foster parents didn't care; I mean for crying out loud send out a god damn search team! Their 15 year old female foster child is out there all alone! People like them shouldn't be allowed to foster kids or have any themselves for that matter!" she cried as Lucas sat up and pulled her into his arms
"Shhh, shhhh" he whispered rubbing circles along her back as it broke his heart to see her so distressed. "It's just, I know how it feels personally to be unloved by parents Luke but that all changed when I met your mom" he smiled as he thought about their relationship. It's true his mother, did love Brooke like her very own. "She gave me a chance and I know that we don't know much about Sam, and the impressions she's leaving with us aren't great, but-"
"You want to give her a chance?" he asked finishing her sentence as he felt her nodded against his chest
"If you don't want to be a part of all this, its' okay Luke. I won't hold it against you like I did with Owen- I promise" she said "Your responsibility will only be to me and our baby. I will handle-"
"WE" he said cutting her off as they locked eyes. "We will handle this together pretty girl; you and me." she smiled as tears continued to glide down her cheeks
"You don't think I'm crazy broody?" she asked not breaking their stare
"When don't I think you're crazy, crazy girl?" he chuckled as she nudged his side "Brooke" he said this time a little more serious as they laid down "I love you and our baby more than anything in this world; I just want what's best for you and our family. To be honest, I think letting Sam into our lives right now might not be the wisest thing for us pretty girl; for starters she's a teen, and secondly she's not very well brought up, mannered or behaved. Think about the stealing, skipping school, not to mention the breaking & entering and trashing up the store and most importantly you some how always end up getting hurt." Brooke sighed "But at the same time without excusing the fact that you get hurt; I understand we should cut her some slack because we were all in her shoes once- even though most of us never acted out like that. I can see how important and strongly you are affected by this, so if fostering Sam is something you're absolutely sure and positive about doing" Brooke held her breath "I will stand behind you 100 percent"
"Luke-" she said as tears streamed down her cheeks
"I knew this infamous topic would come up sooner or later pretty girl; it's just who you are baby. You give people the benefit of the doubt, second chances even if they don't deserve them and you see the good in everyone. You're smart, beautiful, selfless, caring, loving; you're going to be an amazing mother Brooke Penelope Davis; and that is why I love you so much"
"God I love you, love you, love you Lucas Eugene Scott" she smiled cupping his cheeks "Thank you for loving me, thank you for reminding me once again why you're the guy for me; thank you for trusting me in doing this; but most of all- thank you for making me a mother and soon to be wife" she said as he caressed her tear-stained cheeks. She leaned in, pulling his lips onto hers as she kissed him passionately.
…
Brooke sunk down on the couch, as she let out a very loud over dramatic sigh which didn't go un-noticed by her gorgeous blue eyed blonde. "Huh" he said propping his hand under his chin as he bit at his bottom lip "Now that doesn't sound like someone who's happy to finally be off bed rest" he joked as she rolled her eyes at him
"Oh, I'm actually thrilled about that" she replied flashing him a quick smile which soon faded within seconds into a frown
"Okay, okay" he laughed over her antics "What's gotten my pretty girl so upset?" he asked putting his work away now giving her his full undivded attention
"It's not what but rather then who" she replied "I'll give you one guess Broody"
"HMmMm does it have to do with a certain 15 year old brunette who currently just moved in?" She groaned irritated
"Ding, ding freaking ding" she hissed as he chuckled
"That bad huh?" he asked as she nodded
"Tell me again why I agreed to do this broody?" she asked as she closed her eyes resting her head against his shoulder "It was so much easier when it was just the two of us; well three" she said placing her hand on her stomach as a smile formed on his face. He followed her lead as he placed his over hers "What was I thinking; no scratch that-what the hell were we thinking?" He shook his head chuckling as he now wrapped his arms around her bringing her closer "Baby, you're doing great okay" he said kissing her temples "She's a 15 year old teenager; what do you expect?" Brooke stubbornly shrugged her shoulders "She's going to disagree, pick fights and butt heads with us like any 15 year old teenager would" She groaned "Besides, it's only been 2 weeks and you did tell her she can come and go as she pleases-"
"But that's not what I meant by it Luke, and she knows it" she sneered frustrated. "How are you so calm about all this?" she asked "I mean, she misses breakfast and dinner, she talks back, she stays out late, doesn't call to check in or even ask for permission; god I really don't know what else to do with her" she said throwing her hands in the air defeated "Oh and her attitude's driving me up the wall not to mention she acts like we don't even exist! Is it really so hard for her to show us a little respect huh?"
"I'm so good cop" he teased as she playfully smacked him rolling her eyes
"Shut up broody" she chuckled
"Well, you know we could always leave her with Rachel for a few hours; that would for sure scare her straight" they broke out into a fit of laughter
"Seriously though" she sighed "At least she listens to you-"
"Baby, maybe you should stop trying so hard" he replied as she played with her engagement ring
"But-" she started saying
"Yes she needs guidance" he said nodding as he read her thoughts "parents even-but at the same time, she also needs the reassurance that we won't give up on her when things get tough"
"How are we suppose to not do that when she doesn't even respect us? I-I just want her to trust us Luke-"
"And she will over time. But until then, we should set some ground rules. If she really wants to be apart of our growing family, she has to abide by our rules. It's going to be hard, but we have to be firm. Like I said, she 15-teenagers are a lot harder to persuade"
"You're telling me. Why couldn't Tutormom just have us foster a baby?" she pouted as Lucas chuckled
"Because she knows we have one of our own, on the way pretty girl" she smiled as he slipped his hands under her shirt resting them on her baby bump
"Where is our trouble maker by the way?" he asked a little curious why they heard nothing but silence throughout the whole house. Normally they'd have to hassle her to turn down her music for either of them to get their own work done.
"From the last time I checked, she's in her room. Hales gave them some type of English assignment to do that's due tomorrow" she replied as he rubbed her belly
"Oh the joy of homework" he chuckled as she snuggled closer to him. Just then there was a knock at the door "Ugh" she grunted cursing who ever it was for stopping by so late "What?" she asked opening the door "Funny, I don't remember ordering bad Italian" she hissed tying her robe
"Sorry to bother you so late but uh I caught you buying drinks at the bar tonight" he replied holding up her licenses as Brooke was livid. He then gently pushed the brunette in front of the door.
"OoOh" Brooke hissed as Lucas cringed to the thought of all hell about to break lose once their front door closes.
"I know the licenses yours, but she claims to belong to you too"
"Ugh-"
"You have a 15 year old daughter?" he asked "How long has it been?" he tried to crack a joke
"Not long enough" she sneered pulling Sam into the house as she snatched her licenses from Owen "Thanks" she said slamming the door
"Your welcome" he yelled from outside the closed door
"Saaaam"
"Can you yell at me tomorrow; I'm really tired" she replied cutting off the older brunette before slamming her door shut
"W-Wh" Lucas shrugged flinching to the furious look on his fiancée's face "I BET YOU ARE-" she yelled not breaking eye contact with Lucas "BECAUSE BEING BROOKE DAVIS IS EXHAUSTING!"
"Broo-"
"Still think I'm doing great broody?" she hissed before heading up the stairs "God I miss Angie" she sighed
"Morning Pretty girl" said Lucas as he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind kissing her cheek
"MmMMm good morning boyfriend" she smiled fully kissing him
"It sure smells good in here" he said eying their breakfast
"Well it should broody" she smirked "I made your favorites along with a few of Sam's" she said rolling her eyes to the last part of her statement still a little frustrated with their teenager.
"HMmMm I can see that" he smiled thanking god she was in a better mood this morning than last night "Dare I ask where our troubled teenager is?"
"Well, she better be coming out for breakfast any moment now if she knows what's good for her" she yelled turning her head towards the younger brunette's still closed door" "Saaaam" she yelled as Lucas flinched to her tone "Samantha Walker" she knocked "you get your-"
"I'm here, I'm here" she replied entering the kitchen through the back door with her back pack in tow as she sat down next to Lucas.
"D-Did you-" she exclaimed appalled pointing to the back door as Lucas put his hands up in defence trying to calm his fiancée, mother of his child down
"Pretty girl-"
"What" shrugged the younger brunette "You said breakfast at 7am right; its' 7" she stated as Brooke was beyond livid
"Unbelievable; freaking Unbelievable" she shouted throwing her hands up in the air "You talk to her Lucas, because I'm done-" she lashed out heading up the stairs to get ready for work. Sam was taken back to Brooke's words as for the first time she didn't know what to think of it. "I'm done?" she replayed in her head "What did Brooke mean by that?" she asked herself as Lucas shook his head
"Sam" he sighed setting his coffee cup down just as they locked eyes "We need to talk-"
"We need to talk; Oh god, this is it" she shouted out loud in her head as she felt her heart beat rapidly "They're going to kick me out; oh god" she thought as she closed her eyes
