A/N: WOW !!! Thank you all for your wonderful reviews and alerts!!! I'm sorry this chapter took me so long; I just felt that my other drafts weren't good enough. Also, I posted the same prologue with a different second chapter somewhere else, so if you want the link to that just message me:). = )

Chapter Two

Brooke Davis remembered a time when getting dressed in the morning was fun. Even though, her pregnancy wasn't completely obvious, she still had a tiny baby bump.

Brooke walked over to her closet and pulled out a new top which covered the majority of her stomach. Next, she walked to her desk, grabbing her school books, a small photo caught her eye and she put the books down. Picking up the photo, Brooke smiled.

That's my baby.

For a moment, she remembers what Lucas said when he had showed up last night.

"Brooke, I know you're mad and upset and I'm sorry."

"The fact that you're sorry doesn't change anything." Brooke takes a deep breath in. Don't let him see you crack Brooke.

"I know, I know. Brooke was having a baby and I want to be there. I won't be Dan."

Brooke nods for a second.

"I can try. Lucas if Dan wasn't your father and Keith was, would you still want to be around?"

"Yes Brooke. I can't imagine living my life were I know you and my son or daughter is out there but knowing that I was such a fool that I can't come and find you. Brooke, I'm not asking you to forgive me, just don't shut me out of my kids life because I made a terrible mistake."

A terrible mistake. That is what he had called it. A week ago when she had found out she was pregnant she thought she would have to do it all alone, that Lucas wouldn't step up. But he had.

Brooke sat down at her desk, her school books were glaring at her; however, she couldn't look away from the picture. One copy was in her hand, the other laying on her desk. She placed the picture on top of her books, grabbed her books and went off to Tree Hill High.

OTHOTHOTHBBLLBBLL

When the lunch bell rings at Tree Hill High, the entire school starts the buzz. Once upon a time, Brooke use to join the buzzing; however, now she just hopes she isn't a part of it.

Brooke spots Lucas at his locker, talking to Haley, his best friend. Brooke walks over to the two with a small smile.

"Hey guys." She says.

"Hey Tigger." Lucas looks down at his shoes.

"Oh, look there's' Nathan!" Haley, awkwardly, walks aimlessly since Nathan isn't anywhere in sight.

"How're you?" Lucas starts.

"I'm okay. Look Luke…" Brooke hopes Lucas doesn't interrupt her and is thankful when he doesn't.

"I can't forgive you, right now, for what you did. But…" Brooke pulls out a small photo from her bag and hands it him, wrong side up. Lucas smiles and Brooke gives him a small nod before walking off.

"Hey Luke!" Lucas hears Peyton's unusually chipper voice coming from behind him. Lucas stuffs the picture in his bag and turns around, closing his locker in the process.

"Peyton, hi!" Lucas tries to sound sincere but what he really wants is to go look at the picture.

"Do you want to eat lunch together?"

"You know, Peyton I would love too but I actually have to hit the gym." Peyton nods.

"I love how dedicated you are, it's cool!" Lucas raises a eyebrow, not knowing how to take the comment.

Is she flirting with me or being a good friend?

"Yeah, well I'll see you later."

Lucas walks towards the gym; he wants privacy and knows where to get it. He walks into the dressing room, which is open and sits near his locker.

Lucas opens his bag and pulls out the picture. He flips it over and just stares.

There it is.

It doesn't sink in for a few moments, when he starts to feel some tears poor down his face. He knows he should try to control himself and wipe the tears away but he can't. He can't look away. There is all kinds of emotions being brought on by the photo, excitement and fear. His mind ponders to the birth and then to Brooke.

Lucas grabs his cell phone out of his pocket and dials a familiar number.

"Hello?" Her voice is the soundtrack to this moment.

"Thank you." He can hear her grinning and smiles to himself.

"Your welcome." Lucas hangs up and dials another number.

"Lucas, how's school?"

"Mom, I'm going to be a dad."

And that is when it really sunk in.

A/N: So there is the second chapter. I know there was a lot of dialogue and for each chapter it will kind of vary.
