Part 7

Nobody knew who called the cops at all but they showed up about ten minutes later. Peyton runs up to Nathan to see how Haley is doing.

"You go with her I'll go to Brooke let her know what is going on. She is going to be okay." she says trying to reassure Nathan. "Hang in there Hales."

Lucas had been shot so the cops thought it best to bring him to the hospital and get stitched up before they took him to jail. Peyton made her statement just before they left with Lucas she went up to him and spit in his face.

"I hope you rot in hell."

Peyton couldn't believe this was happening. She wanted this nightmare to be over with already and hoped Haley would be okay. Meanwhile Jaime had woken up so Brooke told him he can stay up for a little bit til his parents came back home.

Nathan was waiting on news about Haley. He couldn't lose her she was everything to him. The doctor finally came out Nathan hoped he was coming out with good news.

"Is my wife going to be okay? When can I take her home?" He asked. *I should have killed him.*

"She wont be able to go home for a few days she is resting right now. We managed to stop anymore blood but we got the bullet out of her leg. She will have to wear a cast for 4 to 6 weeks."

Nathan relieved. "Is it okay if I go back and see her."

"Of course." the doctor says as Nathan follows him to his wife's room.

Peyton slowly opens the door to find Brooke holding a sleeping Jaime.

"Hey there where are they at? Jaime woke up told him he could stay up but finally went back to sleep." Brooke says carefully laying the little boy on the couch covering him up with the blanket walking up to Peyton. "Is everything okay?" She asked knowing something was indeed wrong.

"Haley is in the hospital she got shot in the leg, Lucas was shot too but I gave the statement to the cops he won't be able to hurt you ever again." Peyton says wrapping her arms around Brooke.

"But your okay right did he hit you?" She asked noticing the bruises asking the obvious.

"I'm okay but Brooke that look in his eyes…when the gun went off I didn't know what to think…Haley should have stayed here with you just in case…"

Brooke cuts her off. "Ssh Haley is strong she won't leave without a fight you hear me and she wanted to be there."

"I know maybe I should call Nathan see how she's doing than I'll shower or--"

Peyton stopped in mid-sentence whispering something she said earlier to Brooke which made her body tingle.

"MMM I think I know what you mean so call him already." Brooke says slapping Peyton on the ass.

Brooke puts Jaime back in the bed kissing him on the forehead. "Good-night little man." She whispers.

Nathan saw his wife was awake and couldn't help but jump for joy his heart. "Hey you I know you need your rest but I'm so glad your alright."

Haley smiled but than she wondered where Peyton was. "She's okay right?" Nathan nods his head leaning in to kiss his wife on the forehead.

"Who is it…is that Peyton?" Haley asked as Nathan's cell phone rings.

"Yeah…hello." long pause. "She's awake how's our little boy?"

"Sleeping got up one time Brooke told me but he went back to sleep."

Nathan relieved. "Are you two okay to watch Jaime for tonight? I want to be here with my wife for tonight tomorrow you guys can come visit she'll be here for a few days."

"Sure no problem besides I think the little guy misses his mommy and daddy." Peyton says which made Nathan smile.

Peyton and Nathan had become good friends despite the break up all those years ago they seemed to look out for one another. Peyton looked over at Brooke and couldn't help but smile. Even during High School Brooke had always been there for her…she wondered herself if she did have those feelings back than or was it now just coming all out. Did she actually love Lucas or was that to distract herself from ever loving her best friend that way afraid Brooke wouldn't feel the same way at all. And now they are together Peyton was happy except what if Brooke finds out that a part of Lucas will always be with them will she still love her the same way or would she leave?

"Lost in thought there P. Sawyer what's on that pretty little mind of yours?" Brooke asked curiously sitting down next to Peyton. "You can tell me even if its something to do with Lucas."

Earlier that day….Brooke was in the bathroom finding a pregnancy test she wondered if it could be Peyton's.

*Maybe I should ask her about this…if it is it better be a girl.* Brooke thought to herself.

Brooke thought about what she found earlier in the day and decides to proceed the question again. "Peyton I found a pregnancy test earlier is it yours?"

Peyton says nothing looking down at her feet. Brooke got her answer.

"Brooke if you don't want to be with because of this I will understand. I would run too given what he did to you I don't think you want a reminder of that around you to remind you everyday of your life."

"Peyton look at me" Peyton looks at Brooke. "I want you to listen to me loud and clear. I love you and I want to be with you through good and bad. At first I was freaked out but you know this baby will be a part of you too. Lucas is a bastard and doesn't deserve this child maybe once upon a time ago he was the good guy you and I both loved but if you let me I want to be the other parent for this child. I want a future with you and this child of yours. Besides its taken me this long to tell you how I feel and finally I have you and you really think because of this I'm going to leave than you don't know me at all but if you do know me than you know I'm going to stay with you and this baby and we are going to get married someday. I love you Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer and I'm going to stand by your side but the question is are you going to tell Lucas about this and are you keeping this baby?"

Peyton didn't know what to say she brought her lips to Brooke bringing herself on top of the brunette. "I think we need to take this to the bedroom." she says with a wink.

To be continued…hope you enjoyed this. next chapter Peyton will make her decision on rather or not to keep the baby. The girls see Lucas and Haley gets out of the hospital.
