Brooke got in her car and drove. She didn't know where she was going, but she had to go somewhere. She found herself at the Rivercourt. She saw Lucas sitting down on the picnic table, and she knew what she had to do. She got out of her car and walked towards Lucas.
"I need to talk to you," Brooke said, trying to keep her cool
"Okay." Lucas replied, confused.
"I spent the entire night trying to avoid this or ignore it, but I cant so I've just got to say it."
"Brooke, what's up?"
"I think I'm pregnant" Brooke said, tears streaming down her face.
"What do you mean, you think?"
"I mean I'm late. Like, late."
"Did you take a test?" Lucas asked.
Brooke shook her head, trying to ward off the tears.
"Okay. Okay, um. Look, we have to know, okay? Maybe it's a false alarm, you know? Come on. Drug Store's still open. We'll do it together. Okay?"
Brooke nodded, to shocked to say anything.
Brooke's Room:
Brooke stood in her bathroom waiting for the test results. She couldn't believe she was doing this. She was barely 16 years old! She thought that she would be older when she finally had a kid, or if she had a kid. After what seemed like hours, the test was ready. Brooke looked down and gasped. She walked out of the bathroom.
Brooke walked towards Lucas, who was sitting on her bed. She put the test down by his face.
"It's positive" Lucas said bluntly.
"Oh my G-d!" Brooke said, starting to cry, "I'm pregnant!"
Brooke sat down on the bed. Lucas put his arm around her and she quickly shrugged it off and stood up.
"Come on. I know you're still mad at me. Okay? But I'm here for you. Alright, we'll go to the doctor tomorrow. In the city. I'll take you." Lucas said.
"I'll take myself," Brooke said angrily, still crying.
"Brooke, I'm just as scared as you are. But, I want to help. Please, just trust me." Lucas pleaded.
"Ya, because that worked out so well for me the last time." Brooke sneared, then walked out of the room.
Brooke waited in the bathroom until Lucas left. When she heard the door close, she walked out, and into her room. Going to the clinic tomorrow, was a good idea. But, there was no way in hell that she would let Lucas take her there, she could do all this on her own.
Brooke walked into the Clinic the next morning. She checked in and sat in the waiting room. It was less then 10 minutes when the receptionest called her name.
"Brooke Davis." she called.
Brooke stood up and followed the nurse into the back room.
"The doctor will be here shortly." the nurse said as she walked out of the room.
The appointment went quicker then Brooke thought. She was in and out in less than an hour. When Brooke walked outside, she saw Lucas standing in front. She walked up to Lucas.
"So what happened?" Lucas asked.
"The nurse said they'd call me in a few hours with the results, and then she asked me about the father."
"What'd you say?" Lucas asked.
"I told her the sorry bro hoe kicked my ass to the curb." Brooke said as she walked away.
"G-d" Lucas exclaimed.
Brooke drove herself to school. She couldn't pay attention to anything the teacher was saying. She kept thinking about the test results. The class was finally over. When she walked outside to get into her car. Lucas came running up behind her.
"Brooke, hold on. Still no news?" Lucas asked, slowing down to walk beside Brooke.
"Did I come find you?" Brooke asked.
"Well, where are you going?"
"Away from you," Brooke said as she quickened the pace.
"Hey, come on, you just can't cut me out of this. I'm just as worried as you are." Lucas said, matching Brooke's pace.
"Oh really? Or are you just worried that having a kid will deflate your market value?"
"That's not it"
"Oh that's right you're not on the market anymore. You're a one woman kind of guy. Speaking of which, how is my former best friend?" Brooke argued.
"Peyton has nothing to do with this." Luke argued.
"Not yet, but maybe you can pull a Dan Scott and knock her up too!"
"Brooke!" Lucas exclaimed.
"Or maybe then you can move on to random bar-sluts. Oh wait you've already done that. Better be careful, Danny Jr., never know how many kids you're going to end up with."
"Oh yeah, that's real nice Brooke. And by the way, it's not like I'm the only guy you've ever slept with."
"What's your point?" Brooke asked.
"How do you even know it's mine?" Lucas asked.
Brooke looked hurt. Her phone rang and she quickly pulled it out of her bag.
"Hello?... Yes, this is Brooke... Okay... Thank You." Brooke hang up the phone and put it back in her bag.
Brooke hopped into her car and shut the door.
"Trust me, it's yours." Brooke said as she drove away.
Lucas stood there dumbstruck. Brooke drove home, not looking back. She needed to think, she needed to be alone. She parked her car and quickly walked back up to her room. She didn't want her parents to ask why she was crying, not that they would notice anyways.
Brooke didn't know what to do. She was pregnant, and she might not have the father to help raise it with her. She turned on her tv and layed down on her bed. Lucas walked in.
"What part of stay away from me do you not understand?" Brooke asked angrily.
"Just give me 60 seconds okay?" Lucas asked.
"I'm sorry but arguement cutoff was 9 o'clock."
"Well, I don't want to argue. You don't even have to say anything, just listen. My dad didn't want me, okay? Not just that he didn't want to claim me, he didn't want me to be born. I always thought that when I started a family, I'd be older and settled, and I'd be..."
"In love?" Brooke interuppted.
"Yeah," Lucas started, and Brooke turned her head away, "But, so did my mom."
"Lucas.." Brooke started.
"No, this whole things scared the hell out of me, okay? But whatever you decide to do, I'll be there. And if you're not ready, then you're not ready, but if you want to have this baby, then so do I. And whatever it takes for me to be a good father, I'll be there. Always. I promise you. I won't let you down." Lucas finished.
Brooke started crying. She wanted to be mad at Lucas, but it was hard when he said all of those things.
"I want you to be there, Lucas. I really do, but I can't forgive you right now. I'm hurting so much. I can't just let you back in. What you did with Peyton.." Brooke stopped, unable to finish.
"I'll be here, however long it takes." Lucas said, "And Brooke, Peyton deserves an apolgy too. I know, that it will not happen overnight, but you should try. If you decide to have this kid, then it should have people in it's life that care about it. Forgive Peyton, Brooke."
Lucas walked out of her room. Brooke clutched her pillow so tight, she thought it might break. She cried, like she had never cried before. She wanted to forgive them, but she was so upset, and hurt. Wait, that was an understatment, she was CRUSHED.
Brooke didn't leave her room the rest of the night. She didn't know what she was going to do! A million and one thoughts rushed into her head; Keep the baby? Have an abortion? How was she going to support a child? What was she going to tell people? What was she going to tell her PARENTS? Would she stay in school?
There were too many things to think about. Brooke decided she would not make any decision lightly, so she would think every little detail over before she did anything. She owed that to herself, and her unborn child.
The more Brooke thought about the child growing inside of her, the harder it was to think about getting rid of it. She was attached to it in a way that Brooke had never felt before, and she liked it. But, she could think about this all later.
Brooke felt that she hadn't stopped crying in 2 days. She scooted in under the covers, and finally, fell asleep.

A/N: Most of this chapter was dialogue taken from episode 1.19 I felt that everyone should be familiar with what happened in the episode before getting on with my version.
A/N 2: Let's pretend that Lucas cheated with Peyton earlier in the season, so Brooke found out she was pregnant earlier in the season. Just pretend.
A/N 3: Keith and Karen are together!
Thanks for reading!
