Chapter Two
"Here's your room," Brooke said as she opened the door. "You can check out the other one and if you like it more, we can switch you, but this one's bigger."
"I don't have enough stuff for this room," Daniel said, a little in awe of the double bed, the nice furniture, and the big windows that looked out over a big yard.
"We'll fix that," Brooke said. "Is it okay?"
"It's great," Daniel said.
"Good," Ryan said. "I'm going to call your mom first thing tomorrow and arrange for your stuff to be sent up here. And I'll talk to her about getting custody officially changed to us..."
"What if she fights you on it?" Daniel asked.
"I'll fight back," Ryan said, his voice cold for a moment before he shook his head. "But let's not worry about that right now, okay? Tomorrow we'll start dealing with that stuff. Tonight... tonight you can get a good night's sleep in a nice comfortable bed, and in the morning there'll be a big breakfast..."
"Made by him because I can't cook to save my life," Brooke said.
"I can help," Daniel offered.
"If you want," Ryan said.
"I guess I should get some sleep," Daniel said. "Unpack my backpack, too."
"If you want to take a shower, either now or in the morning, your bathroom's right here," Brooke said, opening one of the doors. "And that door is the closet," she added, pointing. "And if you need anything, we're at the room at the end of the hall."
"Okay," Daniel agreed.
"I'm glad you're here," Ryan said, looking like he wanted to give Daniel a hug but not sure if he should. "We'll see you in the morning."
"Night," Daniel said. When they left, he sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed, glad that at least his father seemed to want him, and his stepmom was better than his stepfather.
~~~
Ryan walked up behind Brooke as she brushed her hair before bed, and put his arms around her waist. "Thank you," he whispered.
"First, he's your son, which makes him important to you and makes him family," Brooke replied, covering his arms with her own. "Second, he's a kid, and it sounds like his mom is a complete and total bitch. He needs us."
"You know why I fell in love in love with you?" Ryan asked.
"Because I'm totally hot and really limber?" Brooke teased, looking at their reflection and once again enjoying the contrast between them. Her dark hair, his light. Her slight build, his stocky.
"Well, that's why I fell in love with your body," Ryan replied, placing a kiss on her shoulder. "I fell in love with you because you accepted me for everything I was and everything I wasn't. You didn't make me explain my family, but when I wanted to explain you listened. You didn't judge me on anything."
"You did all that stuff for me, too," Brooke pointed out. "And you decked Lucas when he showed up at the wedding."
"You're lying, cheating, scumbag ex-boyfriend came to our wedding with your lying, slutty, bitchy ex-best friend," Ryan said. "he deserved worse than he got."
"I liked it when Summer grabbed Peyton by the hair to drag her out of the reception," Brooke said, laughing.
"What wasn't there to love?" Ryan replied, laughing with her.
"We should have a paternity test done," Brooke said. "So there's concrete proof if she decides to fight this. And be extra careful of the picture in your wallet, it'll prove you cared, even if you weren't in his life."
"You're sounding like Sandy, which is a really big turn off, Brooke," Ryan said, kissing her neck again.
Brooke turned in his arms, capturing his mouth with hers. "I can fix that," she said.
Ryan grinned against her mouth, sliding his hands under her shirt as he pulled her out of their master bath and towards their bed. He peeled her shirt up over her head, then hurriedly removed his own shirt and slacks while Brooke undid her jeans and slid them down her hips. "I'm so lucky to have you," he said as he pushed her back onto the bed..
"Yeah, you are," Brooke replied, laughing a little as she saw Ryan roll his eyes. "You know you love my confidence."
"Confidence? Yeah, that's one word for it," Ryan teased, kissing her again.
Brooke held him close, keeping the kiss long and lingering as she slid her fingers through his hair. "But I'm pretty lucky, too," she said when she finally let him go.
Ryan smiled softly. "I love you," he said.
"You know I love you, too," Brooke said. "But you better get that mouth back on me now or you're gonna be in trouble.
Ryan grinned and shifted, pressing his lips to her throat and leaving a trail of kisses between her breast to her smooth stomach, then another trail back up to her mouth. "How's that?" he asked.
Brooke's response was to push him away enough that she could roll over and get a condom out of the nightstand drawer. She took birth control, but with the knowledge that another pregnancy could kill her, they were always extra careful. She sat up to roll the condom onto Ryan, stroking him a few times to make him harder before pushing him down into a kneeling position and moving to straddle him.
Ryan gently gripped her hips, bracing her as she lowered herself onto him, and moving one hand to her back as she started moving against his body. He kissed her shoulder, moving slowly over to her throat and up her neck to her mouth.
~~~
Later, as they lay in bed with Brooke's head on Ryan's chest, she turned to look at him. "You're a good dad, Ry."
Ryan smiled slightly and nodded, stroking Brooke's hair. "Yeah," he said.
"You are," Brooke insisted. "Come on, Lily worships the ground you walk on, baby, and Robbie let you carry him a long time before he let me. And Daniel... it's obvious that you love him and want what's best for him. I know he sees that. If Theresa fights us, she's screwed because everyone can see what an amazing dad you are, and that your kids always come first."
Ryan smiled and stretch to kiss her again. "Again with knowing just what to say," he whispered.
"Aren't I brilliant?" Brooke said with a big grin.
"Almost as brilliant as you think you are," Ryan teased, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear. "You are an amazing woman, Brooke Davis-Atwood."
"I love being hyphenated," Brooke said, wrinkling her nose.
"I know," Ryan said, kissing her again. "And, you know, you're a good mom. The little ones love you, and I think Daniel likes you. No wicked stepmom feelings as far as I could tell."
"I will fight for him the same as I'd fight for Robbie if some relative turned up and wanted him," Brooke said. "Daniel is family, he wants to be here, we want him here, he belongs here."
"And that stubborn streak is one of the things I love about you."
"How about the bitch streak?" Brooke asked.
"Fighting for the people you love and the people they love is not being a bitch," Ryan said. "It's being strong and completely amazing."
"You don't need to suck up, I already married you," Brooke said, waving her hand and wedding ring in front of his face.
Ryan caught her hand and kissed the palm of her hand. "Right, I can treat you like dirt now," he deadpanned.
Brooke rolled her eyes and moved so that she was stretched out beside him, laying on her side. "Sure, I can hire one of Sandy's former students to be my lawyer when I divorce your ass."
"That's right," Ryan said. "My family likes you more than they like me."
"Can you blame them?" Brooke teased.
"Not really," Ryan said with a sigh. "Especially since your friends like me more than they like you," he added after a moment.
Brooke laughed as she rolled over to turn off the lamp. "But I like you more than them," she said when she rolled back towards Ryan, sliding her hands over his abs.
"You are definitely more fun to be around than any of them," Ryan agreed as he pulled her fully on top of him.
To Be Continued...
Sandy and Kirsten should appear next chapter... I was gonna have them appear in this one, but I ran out of space after the Ryan/Brooke lovin'... lol...
