The Last Something That Meant Anything
Be Strong, Believe.
"Brooke..Its Haley she, she.."Before Nathan could finish his sentence he burst into tears and Brooke pulled him into a hug rubbing his back in a soothing manner.
"Its ok Nathan just tell me whats wrong ok." Brooke told him as her rested his head on Brooke's shoulder.
"Haley, she was walking down the stairs of the apartment carrying a pile of clothes to the car and she fell and I couldnt catch her, and," he let out another sob, "Brooke, what about the babies, what if the babis arent okay? What are we going to do?"
Brooke hugged him tighter, "Dont worry Nate we're right here and Haley is a fighter nothing is going to hapen to the babies ok? I promise, those babies are a James-Scott's, they'll fight you know that."
Lucas decided to leave Brooke to comfort his brother since she seemed to be doing such a good job, He walked to the cafeteria and got some coffee for Nathan knowing he could probably use it. He pulled out his cell phone and called some people to let them know about Haley.
"They're both boys did you know?" Nathan said pulling away from Brookes hug whiping the tear away from his eyes.
Brooke smiled a bit, her best friend was going to have two baby boys, or at least she hoped. She pulled Nathan towards a chair and made him sit down. She ran his hand through his hair, "Have the doctors told you anything yet?"
"No, They took her into surgery because she broke her wrist trying to catch herself I guess, They'll let me know everything once they are finished." Nathan said finally catching his breath calming down.
"Hey man, I got you some coffee, and I called my mom and... Peyton," Lucas gulped as Brooke looked up at him, "They are on their way." Nathan took the coffee from him and took a big sip then set it down on the table.
"Thanks Man, I think I'm gonna go walk around and clear my head. If the doctor comes call me please." Nathan said getting up looking around.
"Yeah oh course Nathan, we'll be right here." She nodded towards him, "I promise."
Nathan walked away down the hall and Brooke looked at Lucas shook her head a bit and sat down.
"Brooke, dont be mad ok she had to know." He pleaded sitting down next to her placing his hand on the small of her back.
"I'm not mad Lucas, its just. wounds are still fresh ok?" She turned towards him, "Sorry."
He moved her bangs out of her face placing them behind her ears, "For what pretty girl?"
"Everything, blowing up in your face about the whole Peyton thing, It's just Lucas, I dont think my heart can go through anougher breakup, especially with you." She told him placing her hand on his leg.
"Well who else are you dating that your heart cant afford to breakup with?" Lucas smirked at her.
"You know what I mean," She quickly answered back.
Chuckling a bit, "I know I was just joking babe, Just joking ok?" He leaned in for a kiss but they were broken up by very pregnant Karen rushing into the waiting room.
"Lucas, How is she? What have the doctor's said?" Karen said her voice shaky, "Oh hi Brooke."
"Hi Karen," Brooke stated standing up hugging her boyfriends mother, "Have a seat," She held out her hand towards the chair that she had been sitting in.
"Thanks," she turned towards her son, "Well?"
"She has a broken wrist and she's in surgery for that right now, but we dont know anything about the babies." he told her.
Karen held her hand to her mouth visibly scared by the whole situation. Haley was like a second child to her, well third if you counted the baby she still hadnt delivered yet. She didnt want to begin to think about how hurt she was, "How's Nathan?"
"He's not to good. He's taking a walk right now to clear his head." Lucas answered, "Mom can i get you anything you know this cant be good for he baby you stressing out like this."
"Well what do you expect Lucas, Haley is in surgery right now and she's pregnant. Did you expect me to be happy go lucky about this?" she snapped back.
"Mom-" Before Lucas could finish his sentence Peyton showed up frantically looking around.
"Oh, my gosh Lucas how is she?" Haley asked pulling Lucas into a hug.
Lucas trying his hardest tonot return the hug just answered her plainly, "She's gonna be fine we hope. She's in surgery right now for a broken wrist but, we dont know anything about the twins yet."
"Oh my god what happened?" Peyton asked pulling away from the hug finally noticing who was behind Luke, "Oh, Hi Brooke."
Brooke rolled her eyes and before walking away kissed Lucas on the cheek and told him, "I'm gonna go look for Nate."
Lucas looked down knowing full well that Peyton thought they were broken up after the fight. He was sure Haley had told her something. There was an awkward silence which Peyton finally broke, "You guys fixed things?"
"Yeah we did. Just earlier today." Lucas said rubbing his head looking up towards the blonde.
Peyton opened her eyes widely realizing that her chance with Lucas had quickly faded away, "Oh, Thats.. Im happy for you." She finally pulled her self to say.
Lucas shook his head, "Why did you tell her?"
"Tell her what?"
"Don't, you know what I'm talking about Peyton." Lucas fired back.
"I thought she should know thats all." Peyton said defensivly a bit taken a back b the tone Lucas was using with her.
"You decided to be 'honest' with her again? oh, because that worked so well the last time." Peyton tried to object, "No Peyton, I had to fight like hell to win Brooke back after the State championship. It broke my heart into peices after she told me to go to you. And I realized that night that Brooke was a better person then I thought she was. I tried being with you, But that didnt work out Peyt. So just leave us alone. OK? You and I are never going to be together, I love Brooke. I wanna be with her not you. And I'm sorry that's so harsh but it has to be said." Lucas fired at her breathing heavily.
"But you said if you were'nt with her that you'd be with me. And we wre good together you know we were. and then you just left you just went back to Brooke." Peyton argued.
"Peyton I was in a dark place when I told you those things. The whole school shooting just shook me up real bad and Im sorry that I mixed you up but, Brooke is, She's everything to me. And I'm not gonna lose that. Not again." Lucas said turning around and walking away from Peyton leaving her standing there.
Peyton looked towards Karen who listened to the entire conversation since she was sitting right there. She waved lightly at Lucas's mom who waved back.
othothothothothothothothothothoth
Brooke walked down the hall and found Nathan looking at all the newborn babies. She walked up behind him and rubbed his back, "Hey buddy, how you doing?"
Nathan didnt stop looking at the babies in the window but answered slowly as if really thinking about his answer, "I just want to be able to hold my sons. I dont want to lose them. Not before I get to see them. Not ever."
Brooke grabbed Nathan so that he was facing her, "Hey, your going to get to hold him, you're going to get to spend all the time in the world with them. ok?"
Nathan didnt say anything but nodded and turned towards the newborns again. Brooke did the same and after about 5 minutes of silence Nathan spoke, "You know when Haley told me I was going to be a father I freaked out. I mean growing up with Dan as my dad who wouldnt, it scared the crap out of me knowing that i was going to be responsible for another life. And when Haley told me it was going to be a boy and there were two of them I freaked out even more. I was almost positive that I'd turn into Dan. One night Haley and I were at the Rivercourt and we were talking about how challanging it was going to be raising a son right out of high school but Haley said something to me, and I'll never forget what she said, She told me 'Nathan, youre the love of my life and I knew just by the fact that Lucas was intimidated by you when I started tutoring you that you'd be something special.' I can't tell you why that made me realize that everything was going to be alright but it did. I guess because Lucas was this huge person in her life and she recognized how terrified I might have made him, and she recognized it as something good. So it made me feel invincible. Like I could do anything and it would be fine becuase she had this enormous amount of confindene in me from day one. So I knew from that moment that I'd be okay That we are in love and things would be fine. And they were," Nathan caught himself, "Well they still are if this baby pulls through."
Brooke looked up at the younger Scott brother and saw a tear fall from his eye. "Haley was right you know. I don think you guys would have lasted if Luke actually liked you, I mean their friendship was put on hold because of your relationship. She faught like hell for you, and you did the same for her and right now her and your unborn sons are fighting like hell so you can meet them. And dont worry you will." Brooke said looking into his blue eyes.
"I hope your right Brooke," He unfolded his arms and wrapped his left arm around her shoulder, "so whats up with you and Lucas anyways?"
"Oh you know us. We got back together. But this is his final try I dont think I can go through another breakup."
"Eh well, 4th time might be the charm."
"Actually this is the 5th." Brooke corrected him, "We broke up after I found out her cheated on me with Peyton the first time,then after I slept with Chris even though we technically werent dating, then after your second wedding, then after graduation."
Nathan threw his head back, "Wow, you guys are like... Horrible."
Brooke smacked Nathan across his chest, "Shut up."
"But seriously Brooke did you notice that Peyton was the cause of 3 of those breakups?" Nathan questioned.
Brooke just nodded her head, "Yeah I know, but she's my best friend I cant just cut her out. things are so much easier when we're friends."
"True, but you got to ask yourself which is more important your relationship with Lucas or relationship with Peyton?" Nathan told her.
"I think I just have to smack some sense into Lucas so that he doesnt go mess around with her." Brooke said plainly.
"Oh can I do it please." Nathan laughed.
"Sure Nate." Brooke laughed with him.
Their little moment was interuppted by Lucas running to them, "Hey Nate Hales is out of surgery the doctor wants to talk to you." Nathan ran off quickly Brooke and Lucas following him.
Nathan quikly got to the waiting room where he found Haley's doctor waiting with a clip board in his hand.
"Mr. Scott?" The doctor questioned as Nathan approached him.
Nathan nodded catching his breath, "Yes sir, how's my wife?"
"Well, Mr. Scott as you know she suffered from a broken wrist and she took and nasty blow to the head we were able to fix her broken wrist and she'll have to be in a cast for a while, but your wife slipped into a coma, altough we're sure she'll wake up but don't worry, the triplets are fine, for now but we still want to monitor youre wife just to be sure. you can go in and see her if you'd like"
Nathan shook his head and looked at the doctor with a puzzled expresion, "Triplets?"
"Oh I'm sorry sir I thought you knew, Mrs. Scott is pregnant with triplets."
"No but we've been to numerous doctor appointments and she's 7 months how did we not know she was haveing triplets?"
"Well Mr. Scott that sometimes happenens, sometimes one of the babies is hiddin and you can't see it and it also happens that you lose the heartbeat since there are already two. It just gets hard to hear it you understnad."
Nathan blinked, "I understand, what room is she in? and can I bring my family with me?"
"Room 344, and she can only have one visitor at a time."
Nathan nodded, "Thank you sir." He turned around and walked towards Lucas, Brooke, Karen, and Peyton.
"Nate, whats up man?" Lucas asked putting his hand on his brothers shoulder, "Hows Haley?"
"She's Pregnant," Nathan said crypticly.
"Nate hunny we know she's prenant," Karen said quickly wnatng to know how Haley was.
"No, She's Pregnant with Triplets." Nathan cleared up th confusion.
"Triplets?! No way!" Brooke yelled, "Oh my gosh are they all ok?"
"Yeah, well Haley is in a coma but the doctor said that she should wake up soon. But I cant believe I'm going to have three kids."
"Well cam we go see her?" Peyton asked.
"Yeah, one at a time. Brooke you can go after me ok?" Nathan said turning around walking towards his wife's room.
othothothothothothothothothothothothoth
Nathan walked into his wife's room and saw her hooked up to all of the machines and almost started crying again. he rushed over to Haleys side and immediately kissed her forehead then moved down to her stomach and placed a light kiss on her belly, "Hi babies, Daddy is here for you ok? You too Hale's I'm right here, But I need you to open you're eyes so that I can tell you we're going to have triplets, three babies Hales. Can you believe that? Baby you scared me half to death youre never walking down those stairs again I am going to carry you every single time because I love you so much that I couldnt bare the idea of losing you."
Nathan talked to Haley for about 10 more minutes then finally let Brooke come in.
Brooke felt a tear run down her cheek at the sight of her best friend. She sat down in the chair next to her bed and grabbed Haley's hand. "Hey tutor-mom. How you doing? You know you have me really scared that you're not going to wake up and that we arent going to see the beautiful babies inside you. Haley you're going to have triplets. How fun is that huh? And when Nathan gets drafted into the NBA we can go on massive shopping spree's with all his money and we're going to spoil these children rotten." Brooke tried to catch her breath as she was bawling at this point. "I really need you to wake up Hales because if you dont wake up then...then my baby wont have an awesome aunt to be there for them. So I need you to open your eyes and get better because Haley I'm pregnant, and I'm gonna have a baby and I need someone here to help me because I'm freaking out and when I tell Lucas I know he's going to freak out and you have to be here to calm us down ok? So please Haley wake up for Tigger." Brooke let her last tear fall and she got up kissed Haley on the forehead and exited the room.
A/N: so i guess that clears up everything with Brooke maybe being pregnant. I hope you like it. I tried making it longer since it had been a while since I updated, sorry bout that btw, a new UD should be coming soon. I hope you liked the Brathan scene.
