Chapter 10

Lucas walked in to see Brooke at the kitchen table looking at some Macy's magazines.

He snuck up behind her and wrapped his arms around her stomach.

"Hey Pretty Girl!" He breathed into the crease of her neck which turned her on.

"Hey my Broody Boyfriend!" She grinned.

He grinned to and continued talking in his seductive tone. "So I was thinking, maybe you can play hookie today from work and we could-"

Brooke remembered about the doctors appointment she had today and interrupted him.

"I have a busy day today Luke."

"Come on ...I'm sure the store can function without you there for a day or two."

"What about tomorrow? I can stay with you tomorrow."

"But.."

She knew he wasn't gonna make it easy for her.

He tried again. "Well...what if I come by around lunch time?"

Damn it, she thought. Brooke was trapped. She couldn't really tell him that she didn't want to have lunch with him, but she could not tell him yes, either.

"Luke, I'll just see you when I get home, k? I might come home early." She spoke nervously.

He finally gave in and nodded. Or at least that's what she thought.

Yet, she had no idea what he really had up his sleeve.

He was planning on surprising her for lunch, since she never really gave him a straight answer.

Rachel walked in around 30 min to noon. "Hey Luke."

"Hey..I was just about to head out, I'm gonna surprise Brooke."

Rachel perked up and stopped him from going out of the door. "No! I mean...why...why?"

"Why not?"

"Just..." She tried to think of something to distract him. "Lets go shoot some hoops!"

"Rachel I don't have time for this..." He started out of the door again.

"No Luke!!" She lowered her voice after yelling. "She's at the hospital."

Luke turned to look at her, clearly confused.

"But...her appointment isn't today. She didn't tell me anything about going to the hospital this morning...I should be there with her.."

"Her appointment is at noon and I have to get there right now or I'll be late."

"Is the baby ok? Did something happen?" Luke suddenly became curious and worried.

"She's not there for the baby."

"What the hell? Then why is she there?"

Rachel couldn't tell him why. She just stood there silently while he waited for an answer, impatiently.

"I gotta go Luke." She tried to run off as Lucas grabbed her arm and pulled her back.

"No, I'm coming. You're not just gonna leave without telling me anything."

"Umm.." She though about trying to run again but knew it was no use. She couldn't get away from him."Fine."

Brooke sat on the hospital bed, twiddling her thumbs and waiting for the results to be brought to her.

She heard some footsteps running to the door, just then, a nervous and confused looking Lucas flew through the door. It slammed behind him.

"Brooke...baby...what's up?" He kissed her shortly and put his arm around her shoulder.

"Luke??..How-" She had a scared look on her face.

Rachel stepped from behind Lucas and Brooke guessed that Luke got it out of her that she was at the hospital.

"Babe, what's going on? Why are you here? Rachel told me it isn't about the baby..so why?"

"I..I'm...Luke I'll tell you after the appointment, ok? Just please...wait outside."

"Brooke..." He was more nervous each second, he knew it was serious because she was in tears.

"Lucas please..it's gonna be hard for me to tell you and even harder for you to hear it..I'll tell you when we're alone..away from here."

He started to protest, but gave up and nodded, then stepped outside of the room. 5 min later, the doc walked in.

After about 45 min of waiting and worrying, Brooke walked out of the room with Rachel and Luke immediately jumped up.

"Tell me!"

"Not here babe..let's go home and I'll tell you when we're alone."

"Okay but right when we get home, alright? You're scaring me."

She nodded slowly.

Brooke walked in followed by Lucas. She went straight for the balcony and Luke once again followed her.

He came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her stomach once they were on the balcony.

"Baby what's going on?"

She leaned into his chest. "Luke I don't know how to tell you this. There is no easy way."

"Tell me what?" He could see the fear in her eyes.

"I..." She paused to wipe her tears. "I have cancer."
