"If I told you, that this couldn't get better baby
And your heartbeat, it lets me know you feel the same.
I can hold you, keep you safe until you fall asleep.
Never worried, cause I can give you what you need."

Despite Lucas's protests, I was still nervous about the doctor's appointment; which was evident by my shaking knee while we were in the waiting room. Luke put his hand on it, an attempt to calm me down. I put my hand on top of his, a silent thank you passed between us.

"Mrs. Scott" A smile crept onto my face. No matter how I was feeling, this would always make me happy. I am finally his and I don't care who knows it. We made our way towards the room, never losing contact with one another. "Ok, so I'm just going to check your vitals and then you're doctor will be in." The nurse quickly glanced over things before leaving.

"Hi Brooke and Lucas, what's going on here?" Dr. Jackson said as he walked in.

"Well I took a home pregnancy test and it came out positive."

"Ok, so just lean back and we'll take a look." I did what he said and not soon after a picture of our baby came up on the screen. My breath caught in my throat. I can't believe it. "You guys are definitely pregnant." Lucas was the only one to breathe a sigh of joy. He looked over at me and gave my hand a reassuring squeeze.

"Everything's ok with it, right?" I timidly asked the doctor.

"Yes, why the question of concern?"

'I was drinking a lot before I thought I was pregnant, but I have seen then stopped."

"Ok, stopping is good. But like I said, the baby looks fine and healthy." Now it was my turn to relax. I had silent tears streaming down my face. Nothing was wrong; the baby is healthy…our baby. Half me, half Lucas. "Why don't we get you cleaned up and meet me in my office to discuss this happy occasion."

"See, I told you everything would be ok." Lucas said, after placing a kiss on my temple once the doctor left.

"Ya, ya, ya." I grabbed his hand in mine and left the room.

"Brooke, I have my assumptions on your due date, but I just want to confirm it with a couple of questions. When was your last period?"

"Uhhh, it's been awhile. It became irregular, or so I thought, due to the added stress of planning a wedding and opening my own clothing boutique."

"Ok, when was the list time you guys had unprotected sexual intercourse?" Both Lucas and I turned red. "Ha, ok…." I guess the doctor noticed that and didn't push the subject any further, realizing that we truly had no idea cause it happened so often. "The baby is due around September 1st. I want you to come in in three weeks due to your prior medical history. It was only that one miscarriage years ago?"

"Yes."

"Ok, I'll leave a prescription for your prenatal vitamins with the receptionist and you can also make your next appointment up there with her if you guys don't have any more questions or concerns." We looked at each other.

"No, we're good. Thank you." We both got up to shake his hand. We made our way to the car, Lucas was beaming ear to ear he was so happy about this. You could tell the wheels were turning in his head.

"Broody…"

"mmm."

"What are you brooding about?" I couldn't help but smile; my nickname fit him so perfectly.

"The baby. I hope it's a girl. We could do her room this whole Princess theme."

"Isn't the mother the one who's supposed to want a girl?"

"I don't know."

"How about right now we both want a happy and healthy baby, and we'll deal with its gender later."

"I like the sound of that." Luke grabbed my hand and placed a sweet kiss on it. A little while later we were finally back at the apartment. Lucas sat down on the couch with a bag of chips. I made my way towards the bedroom.

"I want to call Millie and fill her in on what's going on and I'll join you."

"Brooke, what's wrong? Why are you calling me?"

"Millie, relax nothing's wrong. Lucas had his leaving date pushed up so we couldn't go. so I'm going to take tomorrow off and then we'll go back to your normal schedule."

"You sure? I don't mind covering for you."

"You are the best employee, but yes."

"Ok, I'll see you in a couple of days then."

"Thanks." I quickly hung up the phone and made my way back to the living room.

"That was quick. Did you tell her about the baby?" Lucas asked once I got comfortable learning up against him on the couch.

"When was the last time we watched this movie?" I tried dodging the question with asking about Goodfellas.

"The whole thing and not bits and pieces?" I nodded. "Probably at my old apartment." I couldn't help but smile and reminisce about old times.

"Do you remember that night?"

"The night I said I love you? Of course and look how far we've come."

"I love you, just as much as I did back then. Nothing's changed."

"I know, cause it's the same for me. So did you tell her?"

"No." Lucas gave me a puzzling look. "Please don't be mad, but I want to wait until the first trimester is over."

"Even to tell my parents?" I nodded. "Haley?" I repeated my action.

"Yes. Please Luke. I just want to be 100% sure the same thing that happened last time doesn't happen again. It was so hard last time, I don't want to go through that again and have people look down and pity you. And I know you weren't there, I'm not trying to put you down and make you feel bad for that. I just don't want to ever go through that again and feel the way I did." I started tearing up. Lucas sighed, defeated and knowing that this is what I want and I wasn't going to change my mind.

"For you? Sure." I dabbed at the remaining tears and leaned up to give him a passionate kiss to show him and grateful I was for agreeing with me.

"I love you, so much. Thank you."
