A Love No One Expected - Chapter 11 I'm Scared For Them

Karen walked into her son's hostpital room, and saw him, and Brooke laying together. She laughed to herself.

Lucas saw his mom. "Hey." He greeted.

Karen sat in the chair next to his bed. "Morning swwetie." She kissed his head. "Sleep well?"

Lucas moved some hair out of Brooke's face. "Yea." He whispered trying not to wake Brooke.

"How'd she get in here anyway?"

"You don't even want to know." Lucas laughed.

"You love her. Don't you?" Karen asked already knowing the answer.

"Yes."

"I can see it. Everyone can."

Lucas smiled, and kissed Brooke's head.

"So they're letting you go the day tomorrow. You'll get to see Lily."

"Aw, i won't have to change any diapers will i?"

Karen shook her head laughing. "No."

"I'm sorry mom. For scaring you."

Karen waved her hand. "You don't have to apologize to me. If you have to apologize to anyone it should be Brooke."

Lucas nodded, then loooked at the clock. It was five in the morning. "Mom it's five in the morning."

"I know i couldn't sleep." She admitted.

Lucas laughed. "Well can i sleep then?"

"Oh, sorry." Karen nodded. "I'll sleep in the lobby." She stated before leaving.

Lucas looked at the sleeping girl beside him. He kissed her hair before going to sleep again.

Karen walked back into Lucasâ–“s room after getting her sleeping, and eating breakfast. Brooke and Lucas were still asleep. It seemed like everytime she looked at them, they were closer and closer, to the point where she probably would have fit on the bed with them they were leaving so much open room.

"Alright Romeo and Juliet...up." She said turning on the light by Lucas' bed. Lucas groaned, and Brooke whined but they had to wake up sometime.

"What time is it?" Brooke asked sleepy.

"Ten." Karen stated.

Brooke groaned. "Early."

Lucas smiled at his girlfriend.

"You should proberl go talk to Haley. She feels guitly." Karen said to Brooke. "Tell her it's not her fault. She refuses to see Lucas until she knows your not mad at her."

Brooke nodded, and started to get up, but Lucas pulled her back. "No, stay."

Brooke played with Lucas' bed hair. "I'll be back."

Lucas groaned, and let go of her, but still keeping her hand with his.

"Oh Brooke the nurse last night told me about the whole 'baby' thing." Karen raised an eyebrow.

"Yea, i'll be going." Brooke smiled before kissing Lucas quickly, and leaving.

Lucas laughed at his girlfriend.

Karen then sat on the arm of the chair beside Lucas' bed. "That girl is crazy. She's not actually..."

"No." Lucas stated. "Well at least not that i know of."

Karen's eyes widened.

"Kidding." Lucas laughed. "She's not."

"Thank god. I'm not ready to be a grandma."

Lucas laughed.

"So how are your classes?"

"Good."

"And money?"

"Fine." Lucas said pulling a book from his nightstand.

"Just making sure. You should call more."

"Mom? Really?"

"Sorry just saying."

Just then Brooke stormed back in. "Great, just fantastic!" She yelled.

"What?" Lucas asked worried.

"My battery's dead." She told him.

"Did you leave the lights on all night again babe?"

Brooke smiled shyly. "I forgot."

Lucas sighed. "We've been through this."

Brooke sat down beside him on his bed. "I know. I know, if it beeps don't ignore it. It means the lights are on."

"Yes. It's not a hard thing to do." Lucas laughed, and took her hand in his.

"Hey, at least i learned not to keep my top down. How could i ever live without you?"

Lucas laughed. "I don't think you could."

Karen watched the two 18 year olds, and smiled to herself. "I'm going to go call Keith. He'll get a new one by tomorrow. I'll be back in a minute." She said before leaving.

Brooke scooted up in the bed next to Lucas, while He wrapped his arms around her.

"I have a confession to make." Lucas said. Brooke looked up at him. "I was really hoping you're battery would be dead or something."

"Lucas Scott, hoping bad things would happen to me. How could you?" She asked, and hit him playfully. "Ok confession. Mine battery's not really dead." She smiled.

"Brooke Davis! Lying? I'm shocked." He laughed, and kissed her gently, but full of passion. "Hey Babe..." Lucas started after breaking the kiss. "You remember when i kissed you for the first time at our doorm room?"

Brooke smiled. "Yea. You were jealous of Chase."

Lucas laughed slighty. "Yea. We were fighting over who was jealous, and who wasn't."

"And you said he was perfect, and he'd give me the perfect life."

"Yep."

"And also you thought i was going to marry him."

"Well it felt like it." He stated.

"What about it?"

"Well, i...god it's so hard to talk with you around." He laughed.

"What is it?"

"Well you see, that night after the kiss, I-I i uh...after you were asleep i walked into your room, and just watched you sleep, until i had to go for my morning jog."

Brooke's jaw dropped. "You watched me sleep for five hours?"

Lucas nodded.

Brooke smiled, and laughed. "So?"

"You talk in your sleep." He stated. "Sometimes."

"What'd i say?"

Lucas started laughing. "You said my name a few times."

Brooke blushed in embrassment. "Fine ok, i was dreaming about you." She admitted.

Lucas laughed. "I know, but don't worry, i dream about you all the time."

Brooke smiled, and kissed him genlty.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Karen saw Keith enter the hostpital, and kissed him quickly before walking towards Lucas' room. They looked through the window, and saw Brooke, and Lucas joking around laughing, smiling. They looked happy.

"I'm scared for them Keith. Both of them." Karen admitted. "I'm scared For Lucas because he's so much in love with Brooke. I mean Brooke could decide at any moment that she doesn't want a relationship. And i'm scared for Brooke...if anything were to happen to Lucas, how would she handle it? I can tell, that she'd give up everthing for Lucas, and if she did and something did happen, where would she go from there?"

"But that kind of love can save you honey. You remember Lucas talking about how Peyton's bestfriend Brooke was drinking to much, was off sleeping with random guys. She's not like that anymore. He saved her, and she's saving him. He was crushed after what Peyton did."

"Yes, and that was hard to watch him go through. What would happen if him, and Brooke end? It'd be ten times worse."

"But now he's ten times happier." Keith stated.

Karen nodded. "I'm just worried. It's a mothers job."

Keith laughed. "Let's give them some more alone time."

Karen nodded, and walked towards the lobby.
