Morning came and Brooke awoke to find Lucas cuddled up to her and she looked down and saw his hand on her stomach, she couldn't help but smile. Lucas began to stir and looked at her

"Hey, how are you feeling, did you sleep well? Lucas asked

"Yeah I'm feeling a lot better now thanks, although the sooner I get out the better" Brooke said, she hated hospitals, they were full of sick people and she was not sick

"So what do you want to do today then?" Lucas asked

"Well I plan on watching some TV, reading some magazines and relaxing" Brooke replied, it wasn't as if she could do much anyway, she was going to be stuck in there for at least another 2 nights.

"Do you need any help doing any of those things" Lucas asked hopefully, he really hoped she would let stay, he just wanted to prove that he cared, but he could only to that if she let him.

"Well you are welcome to join me but I don't think you will find it that interesting" Brooke said, she was secretly happy that Lucas wanted to stay with her but there was no way she was going to let him know that.

"Well any day spent with you is usually interesting so I think I am gonna stay" Lucas replied.

"Ok but don't complain when you get bored" Brooke said. At least she had some company now, that sure was better than being on her own, and Lucas wasn't exactly bad company either!

Sunday afternoon soon rolled round and Lucas had spent the whole time with Brooke and although Brooke loved him spending time with her she didn't want him to be there because he felt bad for the way he had hurt her in the past. The last thing she wanted was his pity, he shouldn't feel he had to be there just because she was pregnant, she thought.

"Luke don't take this the wrong way, I have loved having you all to myself but I just want some peace and quiet really and you need to go home, change, shower, eat and do your homework" Brooke said, she couldn't expect him to always be there and she had to get used to that fact.

"Brooke all that can wait, my top priority is to make sure that you are ok" Lucas replied. Why did she want him to go? Had he done something to upset her?

"Yeah and I love you for that but if you want to do what's best for me then you should go home, and come and visit me tomorrow ok?" Brooke said

"Ok but I will see you tomorrow Pretty girl" Lucas said as he gathered up his things and walked out the door

"Bye Luke" Brooke said as he shut the door, did he just call her his pretty girl? She couldn't help but think about all the good times she and Lucas had while they were dating, she missed it, she really did. Maybe just maybe there was still a chance though.

Brooke just laid there reading through numerous magazines that Haley had bought her, they weren't exactly her thing but she couldn't complain, it was better than nothing at all. She looked up as she heard a knock on the door and was surprised when she saw who it was.

"What are you doing here?" Brooke asked rather confused

"Well I wanted to see how you were doing and I brought you these" Rachel said as she handed her a pile of fashion magazines. Brooke had to admit she was rather surprised, although her and Rachel were no longer enemies she didn't really think Rachel would come and visit her, maybe she was totally wrong about her after all.

"Thanks, how are the rest of the squad?" Brooke asked

"Not too good actually, they are all blaming themselves for what happened to you, apart from me anyway" Rachel laughed

Brooke couldn't help but laugh either

"I guess you still have a pretty big opinion of yourself hey"

"Rachel can you do me a favour please?" Brooke asked

"Sure Brooke, along as its not breaking the law but I suppose I would be willing to do that within reason" Rachel smiled

"I was wondering if you could take over practice for the next few weeks, I don't know how long til I am back on my feet and don't want the squad to suffer" Brooke said. Peyton was meant to be her vice captain but there was no way she was letting her take over her squad. Rachel may not be her best friend she was a good cheerleader and she had to put her squad first.

"Oh that yeah I hope you don't mind but I guessed you would be out for a while so I told the girls I was taking practice anyway next week" Rachel said

"I should've known" Brooke laughed, that was one thing she admired about Rachel, she didn't seem scared, she saw a challenge and she would go for it, she took risks and said how she felt. At least she always knew where she stood with her, which was more than could be said for Peyton.

"How long til you get out of this dump then?" Rachel asked looking around the room at the bare walls.

"Shouldn't be long now, I can't wait, there's just nothing to do" Brooke replied

"Well we don't want you getting fat from lying in bed stuffing your face with all those chocolates people have bought you, your backside is big enough, any bigger and you won't be able to get through that door" Rachel joked

"Coming from you that's rich" Brooke replied, " Don' t you worry bout me just make sure you don't ruin the squad, oh and whatever you do don't let Peyton take charge of practice, I don't care if she is meant to be my vice-captain" Brooke finished with a satisfied smirk. She knew Rachel and Peyton weren't exactly friends so that shouldn't be a problem.

"Don't you worry I can handle her, anyway see you later bitch" Rachel said as she walked out the room

"Not if I see you first slut" Brooke replied

Rachel was a far better person than people thought, sure she had a bit of a reputation but underneath it all Brooke knew she had a good heart and she sure had been a better friend than Peyton recently.

Sorry its a bit short. I will do my best to try and keep updating regularly although this weekend I am not sure how many updates I will be able to do as I am rather busy. Hopefully though I should have a few more chapters added soon. So please keep reviewing and reading the story and I will keep writing. Thanks again for all the great reviews.
