The Long Wait
Chapter One : Karen and Keith
Lucas held his head in between his hands, he groaned and swayed back and forth on his chair.
"Mr Scott?"
"Yes," Lucas looked up at the doctor, finally noticing that he was there. There was a mixture of feelings inside of him ... fear, anxiety ... and hope.
"Ms Roe would like to see you," the doctor smiled.
"Thanks," Lucas nodded and went through the doors, he looked around for his mother, and he finally saw her at the end of the corridor. Her hair was frizzy, unusual from it's normal sleek black form, her eyes puffy and red, her face gaunt ... childbirth must be extremely painful, Lucas thought to himself.
"Hey Mom," Lucas stood at the side of his mother, she smiled weakly at him, and then focused her eyes on the trolley next to her side.
"Meet your brother ... Keith Scott," Karen whispered. Lucas' eyes sparkled, he walked over to the trolley and stared at his new baby brother.
"Well done Mom, I'm really proud of you," he said. He studied the baby carefully, he placed one of his fingers into the baby's hands. The baby squirmed, and acknowledged it's brothers touch before gripping on the finger like there was no tomorrow.
There were footsteps echoing through the corridor, a pregnant Brooke walked up to where Karen and Lucas were.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Brooke walked up to where Karen was and gave her a tight hug. It took all of Karen's energy to give her one back. Brooke pulled back and looked at Lucas, she noticed that he was by the baby. "Is this him?" Brooke asked excitedly. Karen nodded smiling. Brooke walked up behind Lucas and looked down at the new arrival of the Scott family. "He's so adorable," she whispered.
"We'll have one soon," Lucas whispered to her, and wrapped one of his arms around her middle, his hands lightly touching her baby bump, the other was still in the possession of his younger brother.
"Yeah, just another three months to go," Brooke giggled excitedly. Lucas pulled her in closer and kissed the top of her head, before resting upon it.
