Karen forced Lucas to leave the baby to go see Brooke. When he got to her room she was awake.
"There you are. Where's the baby?" Brooke asked.
"Our daughter is in the NICU." Lucas said.
"We have another girl. That's just what we wanted. Lucas, why are you looking at me like that? Is the baby ok?" Brooke asked.
"She's ok for the moment. Brooke, after they did the c-section and got the baby out you were bleeding pretty bad. They couldn't stop it. They asked me and I said that they could do a hysterectomy. We can't have anymore babies." Lucas said.
"Why the hell would you let them do that to me?" Brooke asked.
"You were bleeding to death. It saved your life. If they hadn't done the hysterectomy, you wouldn't be here right now." Lucas said.
"Get out! I can't deal with this right now!" Brooke yelled.
"Brooke, we've got 5 beautiful kids. It doesn't matter to me if we can't have any more kids. I'm happy with what we've got." Lucas said.
"You let them do something that you had no right to give permission. That was supposed to be my decision! You violated my trust!" Brooke yelled.
"You were dieing! I wasn't about to sit back and watch you die when there was something that could save your life!" Lucas yelled as he left. He heard Brooke tell him to go Brooke himself.
"Is she awake?" Andy asked when Lucas walked back into the NICU.
"Awake and very pissed at me at the moment. Apparently I violated her trust." Lucas said.
"It's a shock to her. She'll calm down in time." Karen said.
"Was I wrong letting them do it?" Lucas asked.
"It was the only thing that would save her. She'll realise that." Andy said as the baby's monitors went off. The doctors told them to wait outside. Lucas took off to Brooke's room.
"Brooke, I know you hate me right now but You're coming with me to see our daughter." Lucas said as he grabbed a wheelchair. Brooke allowed Lucas to pick her up and put her in the chair. By the time they got to the NICU all the doctors were gone. One was talking to Andy and Karen.
"Is our baby ok?" Brooke asked.
"Your daughter is a miracle. She's now breathing on her own." The doctor said.
"How much does she weigh?" Brooke asked.
"She weighs about 3 ½ pounds. When she reaches 5 pounds we can talk about when she can come home. You can go see her." The doctor said as he left.
"Do you want us to go pick up the twins?" Andy asked.
"Yeah. Josh is at daycare today." Lucas said as they left.
"Are you ready to go see our girl?" Lucas asked.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you. I was in shock. I shouldn't have said what I said." Brooke said. Lucas bent down and wiped away the tears in her eyes.
"It's ok. I hesitated before I gave them permission. I meant what I said. Even though we can't have any more children I still love you." Lucas said as they kissed. They went in to see the baby.
"Here she is. This is our little girl." Lucas said as they stopped in front of the baby.
"I've never seen a baby this small. I guess we should name her." Brooke said.
"How about we call her Petunia?" Lucas suggested.
"I am not naming our daughter after a flower. What about Hayden?" Brooke asked.
I like that name. Her name is Hayden. What about the rest of her name?" Lucas asked.
"Well, her last name's obviously going to be Scott. How about Mackenzie? Brooke suggested
"Hayden Mackenzie. I like that. That's what we're going to call her. Hayden Mackenzie Scott." Lucas said. Hayden opened her eyes.
"Lucas, I think she likes it. She opened her eyes." Brooke said.
"She's got my eyes." Lucas said as they watched the baby.
