Chapter 20
Over Doing It
Previously on, "Surviving Even When It Seems Impossible"...
Lucas was shooting hoops with Skills when Brooke showed up. When they saw Brooke coming, Skills said goodbye to Lucas, so they could have time to talk alone.
"Hey..." Brooke said, with her shaky voice again.
Lucas put the ball down and they walked over to the picnic table and sat down.
"Lucas-"
"I'm sorry, Brooke." She looked at him. "I was a jackass...again."
"Well, I shouldn't have almost left when I thought I might be pregnant, that was really stupid." she explained.
"Skills helped me out, but I understand now." he coninued, and took Brooke's hand. "I really hurt you, nothing you do or thought about doing could be worse than that."
Brooke smiled. "Are we ok now?"
"Were better than ok..." he paused and made her look at him. "We might be having a baby!"
Brooke just giggled and kissed him, passionatly. "I love you, Broody."
"I know, Cheery." he said, wrapping his arm around her. "I love you, too."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Lucas and Brooke sat in the doctors office, waiting to see if Brooke was really pregnant.
"Brooke, calm down!" Lucas laughed.
"I can't, I'm freaking out here, it just hit me that there could be a baby inside of me right now!"
"So?" Lucas asked, confused. "Aren't you happy?"
"Yes, but it's still scary, you know?" she said, shaking a little. "What if I'm not cut out to be a mom, my mom was horr-"
"Brooke." Lucas said, taking her hand in his. "You are not your mother, and you never will be."
"Promise?"
"I promise." he said, hugging her.
Just then the doctor came in. "Brooke, I have some good news and some bad news, which do you want first?"
Lucas and Brooke looked at eachother concerned. "The bad news."
"Well, it looks like your going to be up in the middle of the night doing 3 a.m. feedings."
Brooke looked at the doctor confused. She didn't even know what that ment, she was expecting her to say something like she was pregnant, but the baby died or something like that.
The doctor looked at Lucas. "Ok, I guess this wasn't as fun as I thought it would be."
Lucas laughed. "Brooke, your pregnant!" he said, hugging her, again.
"Oh, oh my god." she said, laughing. "As you can see, I'm not that intelligent when it comes to babies."
"That's ok, we're always going to be able to help, even if it's 3 in the morning." the doctor explained.
"Thank you so much." Brooke said, shaking the doctors hand.
"I think that's enough news for one day, how about you 2 come back a week from now and we'll see how far along you are and all that good stuff."
"Ok, thanks, again." Lucas said, taking Brooke's hand, as they left.
Outside, as they walked to the car, Brooke was just so excited. "Lucas, we're having a baby!"
"I know, Brooke." he said, laughing at her.
"Oh my god, I just can't believe it, I don't think I've ever been this happy!"
"See, this isn't scary, is it?" he said, as they got into the car.
"No, not right now, but I'm sure it'll get scarier." she said, getting nervous.
"And when that time comes, I'll be there to get you through it." Lucas said, rubbing her back.
She took a deep breath. "Ok...let's go tell everybody!"
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
They got to Nathan and Haley's apartment, inside they were excited to find out the news. Brooke and Lucas walked in.
"Well?" Haley asked, running to the door.
"I'm pregnant!" she said, happily, the girls just screamed and jumped up and down.
"Oh, wow." Nathan said, laughing at them, but happy for Brooke and Lucas at the same time.
"I'm so jealous!" Haley said, laughing, and hugged Brooke.
"Thanks, Brooke, look what you started." Nathan said, sarcastically.
"I don't know what it is, people just always want to be like me."
They laughed.
"Now we have so much stuff to plan! This is so exciting!" Brooke giggled.
"Like what?" Lucas asked.
"There's the wedding, and everything that goes with that and now we have to shop for a baby, and then there's the baby shower..."
"Ok, ok." Lucas said, stopping her. "I think I get it now."
"Me too." Nathan said, grabbing his basketball. "I think it's time we left you two girls to do whatever it is you're going to do, so we can go play basketball."
"Fine with us." Brooke said, kissing Lucas goodbye. She went up to his ear to whipser something. "Have fun, and don't be too long, we need to celebrate when you get back."
"Ok." he said, smiling.
"I don't even want to know what she said. "Nathan said, giving Haley a kiss on the cheek. "Have fun, girls."
The boys left and Brooke took out her cell.
"Who are you calling?" Haley asked.
"Peyton, I have to tell her the good news!"
Ring, ring, ring...
Jake looked at the Caller ID and was about to answer when he saw, "Brooke's Cell"...
"Uh, Peyton, come here, it's Brooke, do you want me to answer?"
Peyton looked shocked. "Ohmigod, um, I guess were going to have to find out what happened sooner or later."
"Hi, Brooke." Jake answered, nervously.
"Hey, Jake!" she said, excitedly. "Is Peyton around?"
Jake sighed with relief, and smiled at Peyton. "Yea, she's right here."
"Hello."
"Hey, so I have some news."
"I know." Peyton said, happily.
"Wait, what? How would- No, I have other news!" Brooke said, practically screaming.
"And what would that news be?"
"I'm pregnant!"
Peyton's jaw dropped. "What?"
"Yea, I've known for a while now, thank you so much for sending Lucas home, this could have gotten really ugly otherwise." she said, laughing.
"No problem, ohmigod, this is just great, Brooke."
"I know."
"What does Lucas think?" she asked, Jake was standing there really confused. "Oh, Brooke's pregnant."
Jake looked just as surprised.
"He's happy, too." she said, putting her hand on her stomach. "You and Jake are going to have to come stay here for a while, I need you here for this and the wedding."
"Of course, Brooke, we'll be there."
"Ok, good, talk to you later, Peyton."
"Bye, tell Lucas congratulations from me and Jake."
"I will, bye." she said, hanging up.
"So, what does she think?" Haley asked.
"She's happy for me." Brooke said. "Ok, so I was thinking maybe we should move the wedding to a sooner date, that means we have to work extra hard getting everything ready."
"Oh, great." Haley said, faking a smile. "Won't that be fun."
"I know! Ok, I have my dress picked out and your's and Peyton's, the only things we have left to do are the flowers, cake, a place, invitations, tuxes, and the priest." Brooke explained, pacing back and fourth, almost out of breathe because she was talking so much.
"Wow, can't you and Lucas just have a simple, little beach wedding like me and Nathan?" she asked, sarcastically. Haley new Brooke wasn't going to go for that, but she had to try, right?
Brooke just starred at her.
"Ok, bad idea." Brooke was still standing there. "Brooke, it's ok, you don't have to do that then."
"No, that's a fine place, I think I need to lay down for a minute." she said, holding her stomach.
"Brooke?" Haley asked, worried. "Are you ok?"
"Yea, I'm fine, I must've just over did it." Brooke said, falling onto Haley's couch.
"Should I call, Lucas?"
"No!" Brooke grabbed her by the arm. "He doesn't have to find out, I don't want him to worry about me."
"Your sure?"
"Yea, I'm just tired, that's all." she said, laying her head down.
"I'm going to go make you some tea, you lay there and relax, don't even think about the wedding."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Hey, Jake, Brooke's wedding is coming up and she's pregnant now, so do you think we could go there for a while?" Peyton asked, sitting beside him in the living room.
"Of course we can." he said, kissing her on the forehead. "I've actually been thinking about something, but it's fine if you don't want to do this."
"What is it, Jake?" she asked, sitting up.
"I see how you are when you're with Lucas and Haley and Nathan, and especially Brooke, you're happy-"
"Are you breaking up with me?" she asked, concerned. "I'm happy with you too, Jake."
"I know, I know, I was just wondering if maybe when we went to Tree Hill for the wedding, we stayed." he said, smiling.
"Like move there?" she asked, excitedly.
"Yea, like move there."
Peyton threw her arms around him and kissed him.
"Is that a yes?" he asked, jokingly.
She nodded. "Yes, thank you, Jake, you don't know how much I love you."
He laughed. "I hope it's not just because of this."
"No, I really do, Jake." she said, seriously.
He went up close to her until their noses were just barely touching. "I love you, too." he said, then kissed her, passionatly.
"Wait, but what about Jenny?" she asked, concerned.
"I already talked to her, she's fine with it." he said, kissing her again. "Now shes not even here, so don't kill the mood."
Peyton laughed, and kissed him back.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
It was already 7 when the guys got back from the River Court. Brooke was still asleep on the couch and Haley was reading a magazine in the chair.
Nathan went up behind her. "Were back." he whispered.
Haley nearly jumped half way to the roof. "Holy shit, Nathan! What the hell are you trying to do!" she whispered, trying not to wake up Brooke.
Nathan and Lucas laughed, quietly. "Did you and Brooke have fun today?"
"I guess you could say that." she lied, looking over at Brooke.
"Well it looks like you guys did a lot today, I almost don't want to bring her home." Lucas said, sitting on the floor beside Brooke's head. "Would you guys mind if I left her here to sleep?"
"Not at all." Haley said, smiling. "She's probably going to sleep the rest of the night anyways."
Nathan and Haley went into the kitchen to give them some privacy.
Lucas just watched Brooke sleep for about 5 minutes, then she started to move around. Lucas took her hand in his. "Well, hey there, sleeping beauty."
She smiled when she saw Lucas. "Oh no, what time is it?" she said, sitting up.
"No, it's ok, lay back down, your just going to stay over night."
She layed back down and closed her eyes, again. "I'll come get you in the morning." he said, kissing her on the forehead, then covering her with a blanket.
Just as he was leaving the living room, she woke up again. "Lucas, will you stay with me?"
He turned around gave her a small smile. "Of course I will."
He sat next to her and she cuddled into his arms. That feeling she had all day, that scared feeling, like something was going to go wrong with the baby, was gone, as soon as Lucas held her. Everything was going to be ok.
