It was a late Monday night at Forrester for Brooke, she had worked all day long taking orders for the bedroom line, she was tired but still had some files to put away before she could go home. She looked out the window at the pouring rain and she could hear the thunder, which kind of spooked her. She then started on the last chore of the work day.

'Hi Honey' Bridget said as she walked in the door to the beach house that she and husband Deacon shared, Taylor had been nice enough to let them live there, Deacon greeted his cute wife with a smile. He was in deep thought about Brooke wanting him to get a divorce from her daughter and let her be free. Bridget brought him out of the trance with a sweet kiss and Deacon notices that shes wet and suggest that she take a warm shower, he had a erron to run. Bridget told her handsome husband to hurry back and he said that he would.

Brooke had finished the last chore of the day and was preparing to go out in the roaring storm When she went to open the door of her office, she was shocked to find a barely wet Deacon standing there, 'What are you doing here?' she asked in a tired tone. 'We really need to talk Brooke' he said in a worried voice. Brooke then told him come in to her office.

Bridget was sitting by the fire when she heard a knock at the door, it was her older brother, Rick. Bridget invited her brother and his umbrella in the warm beach house. 'Where is Deacon, Budge?' 'Oh, he had to go run an erron but he should be back any time now, Do you need to see him for something?' Bridget asked her brother. 'No, I was just wondering where he could be in this weather.'

'Can I offer you a drink?' Brooked asked. 'No, thank you, I have to drive and I dont need any liquir to impair my driving in this storm'. Deacon said gently. Brooke helped herself to a drink of vodka and orange juice and went over to her comfortable chair behind her desk. 'So, what is this about Deacon?' Deacon Looked at brooke with a serious look, 'Me and your daughter'

'What is taking Deacon so long to get back?' a anxious Bridget asked. Rick suggested that she call Deacon's cell phone so Bridge attempted to do so. 'he must have it turned off or the towers are down because of the storm' Bridget went to get her and Rick some hot chocolate.

Brooke stared at Deacon in wonder. 'What about you and my daughter?' Deacon swallowed hard and deep, 'I have been thinking about what you said' 'and?' Brooked asked impatiently asked. 'I will her the divorce!' Deacon said as he looked out side.

'Thank you sis' Rick told his baby sister as she handed him a cup of hot chocolate. 'I'm really worried about Deacon!' 'He is probably in a long line at the geogercy store.' A asurring Rick points out. Rick notices that it is 9:30 pm, 'Budge, I hate leave you like this but I have to go before Amber worries about me' An apologetic Rick says as he grabs his coat and umbrella. 'Thanks for keeping me company Rick' Bridget kisses her older brother on the cheek, 'here I go' Rick says he steps out side. Bridget shuts and locks the door and storkes the fire and sits down. 'Where are you mr. Sharpe' Bridget wonders out loud.

'You know that this is the right thing to do and yes, she will be angry and hurt, but she will be able to move on Deacon' an relieved Brooke stated. 'Yeah I know, I hope we can remain friends after its all siad and done

Brooke walks over to deacon and puts her hand on Deacons shoulder. 'So now what?' Brookes asks softly. Deacon turns around and looks at her, confused, 'What do you mean?' he asks. 'for you?' Brooke asks intently. 'I go home and tell Bridget I want a divorce then find a apartment or whatever, after that its anyones guess!'

'Be gentle and loving when you tell her!' she prompts. 'I will, I promise.' Deacon says with a soft smile.
Brooke gos back to her desk and traightens some papers on her desk. 'Well, I have to get going, Bridget is probably worried sickby now!' Deacon annouces. 'okay, oh and Deacon, thank you.' 'no problem' Deacon says as he wlks tooward the door.

Brooke suddenly calls out, 'Deacon, wait!' Deacon turns around in surprise, 'what!' 'I have to tell you something else!' she admits, Deacon shuts the door and sits down in the chair facing Brooke's desk, 'okay, you have my undivided attention Brooke!' he says in a serious tone.

Brooke sits in her chair and takes Deacon's hand in hers which shocks the heck out of Deacon, 'Um.....Brooke, what are you doing?' he asks without letting her know that it flips him out. 'well, Deacon, I have been dealing with some very, very unexpected feelings.'

'What kind of feelings, Brooke?' Deacon asks as he draws in a deep breath. Brooke looks deep into Deacons eyes, 'Im falling love with you!'
