Chapter 7

(Listen to David Condos - "I Should Be Lost Without You")

Weeks Later

Lucas was by my side. We were at the doctor's office the appointment we've been waiting for and looking forward too the most has at last arrivied. I was 18 weeks pregnant. The baby was the size of asweet potatoe. Which meant we were able to find out the gender of our baby. We are planning to meet up with Nathan and Haley afterwards. They had their appoinment already this morning and know what their having. We decided to share the news with each other first before we announce it to anyone else. Then we would celebrate just the four of us.

Our eyes were focused on the monitor in front of us.

The doctor looked over at us. (The gender of your baby is very clear. I can officially tell you that. Your going to be welcoming into the world. A little girl. Congrats you two!) The doctor said. A smile coming across her face.

I looked over at Lucas. He smiled up at me. I smiled back at him.

Placing my hand on my belly. A daughter. She would have the best parts of us. I was being given the opportunity to rewrite history. Removing the sadness and pain of my upbringing. Instead I would make it my top priority to have a close, loving, relationship with my daughter. To be mother and daughter and best friends.

I knew Lucas felt the same way i did. Dan was never a father a him. Just someone he shared DNA with. His father was and is Keith in every way possible. He was going to be the kind of dad he learned to be from Keith. She was grateful for that. Knowing her child would have a loving, devoted, dedicated, father.

We left the appointment and were in the car. We were on the way to a nearby resturant. To meet Nathan and Haley. Lucas was driving. It took a matter of minutes. To arrive there. He parked the car in the parking lot and turned to me.

(Penelope Grace Scott. That should be her name. What do you think.?) He asked.

I smiled. Taking his hand in mine. Placing it on my belly.

My heart leaping as i felt the first few movements of her kicking.

Lucas looked to me with a look of surprise. (She's kicking.)

I looked back at him. (I love it and I think our daughter does too.) She said. Locking eyes with him.

We stayed like that staring into each other's eyes. For a few minutes. Until i broke the contact and looked away.

(We should get inside. We don't want to keep Nathan and Haley waiting.) I said. Carefully unbuckling my seatbelt.

I then opened the passenger side door. Pausing as I felt him put his hand on mine. I turned and looked up at him. Paying close attetion as he started to speak

(It's not true. You being a rebound. I got back together with Peyton because I knew that I had destroyed what we had again and broken your heart in more ways then I can recall. Made you feel unimportant and undervalued in my life. Which is on me. My heart is with you. I meant it back then and I still mean it now.) Lucas said. As he exited the car.

Brooke closed her eyes and took a breath. His words pulling her heart in every direction. She had to put herself and her daughter first. Which meant starting over without Lucas as a romantic part of her life. His words fell flat because Peyton was still his girlfriend and he wasn't conflicted in his love for her. Unlike me who was struggling to let go of the first and only boy I had ever loved.

...

We sat down next to each other around the long table. Nathan and Haley were practically glowing with pride and excitment.

Nathan turned to us. (We already ordered food and drinks.)

Haley looked to us. (We're having a boy!) She exclaimed happily.

Brooke smiled back at her. (We're having a girl!) She said. Excitedly.

The waitress came around. Placing down different food dishes along with drinks.

Nathan lifted his glass. Everyone else lifted their glasses as well.

(To the next generation. For our lives changing in the greatest ways possible.) He said.

The four clinked their glasses.

...

Victoria looked in front of her surprised at the face. That sat across from her.

(Peyton Sawyer. What brings you here to my office.?) She asked.

Peyton smiled and looked back at her.

(Now Victoria. You and I have never seen eye to eye. But in terms of Brooke we have common ground. She's my best friend I know her better than anyone. She doesn't want to be a mother and Lucas doesn't want to be a father. I have known them my whole life. Giving this baby up for adoiption is what needs to happen.)

(Arrange it. I know you can pull strings to make it happen so do it.) Peyton said.
