One Thing Right -Sequel to The Best of Our Love(Colby Brock)

Epilogue: Read A/N

Okay, let's start off by saying that no, this is not the end. Brooke and Colby's family life is only just getting started. Plus, what about Brooke's father? Sky? The duo channel? Not to mention Kat and Sam are ENGAGED and the wedding hasn't happened, AND Kat is going on tour. Or what about Liana? What happened to her?

When I wrote this outline, I didn't plan one book, I didn't plan two, no...three was planned. But only three. The new book titled "Holding On" will be coming out very soon, and I'll post an announcement when it does. Trust me, Brooke and Colby aren't done yet.

-Brooke-

I rocked carefully in the rocking chair of the nursery. I had the window open, watching as the snow fell. LA doesn't get snow often, and even when it does, the snow is gone by the late afternoon. But the light dusting of powder was beautiful nonetheless. It was cold outside, but inside, my family is warm and comfortable. When I was told I could start sitting anywhere but my bed, I immediately chose the nursery with the rocking chair so I could be with my girls. Colby didn't take that as a surprise. 

Tucked carefully against me is Penny. Her little hands in mittens so she doesn't scratch me or herself. She just had a good nursing session, and is now sleeping peacefully, which I hope will last. I know I should lay her down...but I'll never get over the feeling of her in my arms, where I know she's safe.

Her dark hair rested loosely over her forehead, and her eye lashes twitched as she dreamed. She sucked on her pacifier telling me she wasn't completely asleep yet. She reached a hand up with a sigh, attempting to grab her hair--she's picked up the habit of grabbing and twisting. I smiled at her sleeping form and leaned down, pressing a gentle kiss to the brown mark on her forehead that I love so much. 

The door opened and I turned my head, watching Colby walk in with Lucy who was also sound asleep. Colby wanted to bottle feed her--I pumped the day before and we need to use the milk when we can--so I guess he succeeded since she's sound asleep now, when just a little earlier she was crying. Her curly hair was dark, just like her father's and her sister's, but the curls are definitely mine. She sucked happily on her pacifier, which is a miracle since she usually hates it. Her face was peaceful, and finally, we get a moment of peace and quiet.

Downstairs I can hear our friends talking quietly, probably grateful for the crying to finally be over. At my feet, Bentley rested, eyeing Colby and Lucy. When Colby sat down in the other rocking chair, Bentley immediately moved to go see how Lucy was doing. When he determined she was okay, he sighed and laid down between our two chairs. 

"Feeling okay?" Colby whispered. I nodded at him, before turning my attention back to Penny.

"Better now that she's asleep."

"Agreed," Colby looked down at Lucy's face. 

I lifted a hand and smoothed Penny's hair off her forehead. I smiled as I watched her lips curl into a smile as she slept. My smiling little girl.

Lucy finally smiled. Colby was bathing her a few nights after we got home from the hospital. She had overfilled her diaper again--I don't know how with how freaking TINY she is--and needed a bath desperately. Colby of course had to since I was out of commission. Anyways, he was in the middle of rinsing her off, when he looked at her and she broke out into a grin. Colby of course finished her bath early and came racing into the bedroom--promptly waking up Penny--and was crying over how "his little girl smiled at him." I couldn't get over how excited he was, it was genuinely one of the cutest things. Well, besides maybe our twin girls. 

Sam and Colby recorded their final duo channel video together. Which was a v-log explaining that this was the end. Sam held Lucy while Colby held Penny, allowing the world to see their perfect faces for the first time. They explained that with life changing, and new beginnings starting, it was time to bring the duo channel to a close and let it retire. They emphasized that their personal channels would still post, and they would do videos together often, but it's time to let life take it's course. And sometimes that means letting go of the things you love.

"Colby and I are where we are today because of this channel," Sam explained in the video. "And it will always hold a special place in our hearts. But, eventually all good things come to an end. It's time let life take it's course, we need to focus on our personal lives from here on out. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It just means moving on to bigger and better things."

I liked how he had worded that. Though this chapter of their lives have ended, it just means a new beginning is taking place, and that beginning is circled around Lucy and Penny. They deserve a life where both parents are present, despite their influence in the media. They deserve the world, and if I could give it to them, I would. But for now, I think I'll focus on our world. The world Colby and I are building together, with our friends and family supporting us no matter what. 

Colby put a hand out for me to take, to which I complied. He kissed my hand gently with a loving smile and the familiar sparkle in his eyes that I see when we're together. I knew the words that would follow before he even said them.

"I love you Brooke," He whispered. "My one thing right."

"I love you too, Colby," I answered warmly.

I tightened my grip on his hand. Penny's pacifier fell from her lips as she finally was deep into sleep. But I kept my eyes on Colby's, my own darting back and forth between us, and reminding myself of how lucky I am to have met him all those years ago. How much has changed, and how much has stayed the same. The few things that stay constant are what I rely on, knowing that I've got some sort of security in my life. But the change makes it all the more exciting.

I looked at our joined hands, and my eyes found our bracelets. The engravings forever imprinted into my heart, and for a moment, it almost felt like our lost child was here with us, smiling and telling us that it's okay to move on, and keep going. That he loves us, and wants us to keep holding on to each other. 

And that's exactly what we plan to.
