Brooke'sPov
"Why is it so hot?" I asked fanning myself. Everyone just looked at me as if I was insane. We're at Haley and Nathan's house for the day.
"Brooke, you're the only one who thinks that it's hot. It's frost on the window, it's so cold out side." Nathan said. I glanced at my stomach which has grown a lot. I was due any day now and Lucas was a wreck, he kept overreacting over the simplest things thinking that I'm going into labor.
I looked back up and stared at Rachel. Then my face crumpled in sadness, "Rachel, you were right." I said aloud.
"I usually am, but about what this time?" she responded looking at her nails.
"I'm fat." I replied with horror. Rachel tried to hold her laugh in, but eventually burst out laughing. I shot her a glare, but she continued to laugh.
"Brooke," Haley said chuckling slightly, "you're pregnant! It will all go away once you've had the baby."
"It might not." I protested and Haley rolled her eyes.
Lucas rubbed my arms soothing me. We'd been married for about four months now and it was bliss except for his constant worrying. I looked up at him and he kissed me on the lips then said, "You look beautiful to me."
I smiled and laid my head on his shoulder. "So, what are we doing today?" I asked.
"No couple stuff please, it's annoying and Haley wouldn't have anyone." Rachel added with a smirk. I chuckled softly and quickly changed the direction on the conversation.
"How about we go shopping?" I suggested. Everyone, but Rachel and Haley groaned.
"I know! We can go to Tric?" Peyton suggested instead.
"To do what? It's twelve in the afternoon. It'll be boring!" Rachel explained in an obvious tone.
"Well lets just go shopping, I mean Lucas you can get some books, Haley you can get some clothes as will Rachel, I have to get baby clothes, Peyton you can get some CDs, and Nathan…you can tag along." I said excitedly.
Reluctantly everyone agreed and we all left in two separate cars. Lucas, Rachel, and I rode in Rachel's Tahoe and Nathan, Haley, and Peyton went in Haley and Nathan's car.
We got out of the car when we got to the mall and I immediately headed to a baby store dragging Lucas with me. The others went their on ways promising to meet up with us in an hour at the food court.
"Brooke don't you think that we have enough baby clothes?" Lucas asked me as I looked at some outfits. I was moved into Lucas' house now and I basically gave my house to Rachel, plus she was running the store while I was on maternity leave. I turned to Lucas.
"Lucas, I just want to be prepared. This is my first child. Plus you can never have enough clothes." I smiled then turned back to the clothes. He sighed but stayed with me.
"Brooke, I'm surprised that you haven't dragged me to Victoria Secret yet." Lucas whispered in my ear. I looked to the floor and shook my head.
"I look too disgusting to wear stuff like that." I told him. I refused to wear lingerie in bed anymore. I don't know, but I just don't feel as sexy as I used to.
"You, Mrs. Scott," Lucas said pulling me into his arms, "will always be sexy to me."
I pulled him into a passionate kiss savoring the taste of his lips. "I love you." He whispered when we pulled away.
"I love you too." I replied smiling.
LucasPov
Brooke had finally agreed to leave the baby store and go to the book store with me. I knew that she thought it was boring, so I planned to be quick. I held onto her hand as we walked inside. I immediately started scanning for books.
Then I heard a sharp gasp and turned to Brooke. "Are you okay?" I said panicky.
She nodded. "Yeah, just this sort shock went through me, I don't know. I'm fine though."
I studied her concerned for a second then turned back to the books. I was flipping through a book, when I heard Brooke gasp in pain again.
"Brooke, what's wrong?" I asked her.
She looked up at me and said, "I think it's time."
I just stared at her then replied, "Brooke if you don't want to be in here then just say so and we'll leave. You don't have to fake-"
Brooke hit me. "I'm not faking!" she yelled. "I'm about to have your baby!"
Saying a quick sorry, I led her out the store and to the parking lot. I called Rachel and told her to hurry. Brooke squeezed my hand as every contraction came. Just then Brooke's water broke and I tried not to panic.
Then we saw Rachel running toward us faster than ever. She unlocked the door before she got to us and I helped Brooke into the backseat. I climbed in behind her and held her.
Rachel made it to the car and jumped in immediately starting the car and pulling out of the parking lot.
"Is she okay?" Rachel asked me glancing in the rearview mirror.
"Does it look like I'm okay?" Brooke said through her teeth.
Then I pulled out my cell to call Haley.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Haley! I need you to meet us at the hospital." I told her.
"Why?" she asked in that worried mother voice. Brooke screamed and squeezed my hand.
"Brooke's about to have the baby." I responded proudly, but winced as Brooke dug her nails in my skin.
"Really? Now? We're on our way!" she said hanging up.
I closed my phone and we pulled up to the hospital. I helped Brooke out, one of her contractions had passed and she was okay, but looked tired. Tears sprang into her eyes.
We got in there and Rachel had a wheelchair ready. Fortunately, not many people were at the hospital and we didn't have to wait. When we got a room, I helped Brooke changed into the hospital gown.
Then a male doctor came in looking down at a clipboard. He looked up after a couple of seconds. "Hi, Mrs. Scott." I saw Brooke smile at the name despite the pain and the way she was breathing.
"Hey." I responded for her.
"Okay, I'm going to ask you and your husband a couple of question." He said coming to Brooke's side. Rachel came in with a small ice bag and gave it to me.
I mumbled thanks and wrapped it in a towel and put it on Brooke to cool her down. Then we looked at the doctor.
"Okay, how many minutes apart are her contractions?" he asked.
"Well they started when we were on in the baby store, but they didn't hurt that bad and didn't last long. Then they were getting worse and faster. So I'd say about six minutes." Brooke answered. I looked at her in confusion.
"Okay," the doctor said, "is there anything unusual going on or anything that you're concerned about?"
Brooke shook her head no and the doctor left saying that he'll be back. I turned to Brooke. "Why didn't you tell me when it first start happening?" I asked her.
Rachel went and stood where the doctor was and wiped the sweat from Brooke's face.
"I didn't think it was anything." She replied.
"Well next time we'll know." I said placing the ice pack around her neck and face to cool her.
Her eyes shot open, which looked like a green blaze, and narrowed them. "Next time? Oh so, you must be the one going into labor next time because right now one is enough."
I smiled then kissed her hand. "We'll see!" I muttered under my breath.
"We always say that." I look toward the door and see Haley, Nathan, and Peyton standing there.
"Yeah, well I mean it." Brooke said arching her back as another contraction came.
They came in the room and then Brooke turned to me grasping my hand. "I want my doctor." She said.
"I'll go get him." I said, but she shook her head.
"No, I want my doctor. Dr. Walker." She corrected.
I nodded and went to were Dr. Walker's room was. I knocked and came in when she answered. She was doing some paperwork.
"Mr. Scott is there something wrong?" she asked standing up.
"Brooke's here and is about to have the baby any minute now. The problem is that she wants you and not the other doctor they gave her." I explained quickly.
She nodded and pulled on her coat saying, "I'd love to deliver your baby. I'll handle the other doctor."
When we got back to the room Brooke was crying and gripping Nathan and Rachel's hand hard.
"Mrs. Scott!" Dr. Walker said walking toward Brooke. "First question, do you want medicine to help with the birth?"
Brooke shook her head no and said, "Natural."
Brooke smiled at me and I moved to where Nathan was. Minutes passed by and Dr. Walker came back in after talking to the other doctor and getting together two nurses.
"Brooke, I'm going to need you to put your feet in these stirrups." She told her as she snapped some gloves on. Nathan, Haley, and Peyton had left and waited in the lobby. It was just Rachel and I. Brooke did as the doctor told and Dr. Walker put a stool in front of the bed.
She checked to see how far along Brooke was and then said with a smile. "It's time!"
Both of the nurses came in. One was on standby if the doctor needed an extra hand and the other one was to take care of the baby when he came. "Okay, Brooke I need you to push."
My eyes light up at the fact that in a couple of minutes, I was going to be a father.
Brooke'sPov
As I pushed, I screamed. The pain ripped through my body like fire.
"I need you to push harder, Brooke." Dr. Walker told me. I started sobbing and crying hard, but I pushed.
"I see the head! Come on, Brooke push!" Dr. Walker yelled at me.
"I can't! Lucas, I can't. It hurts too much." I said looking up at him.
"Yes you can, Brooke." he disagreed.
I looked into his eyes and pushed at hard as I could. A scream besides mine ripped through the room.
"One more Brooke and it's over." The doctor told me. I gave one last push that my vision sort of blurred.
I lay back on my bed, tired and relieved. I was still in a slight pain, but when the nurse brought my baby to me I forgot about it.
As I held my baby boy, tears rushed down my face in happiness. His eyes were still closed, but he had some brown matted hair on his head. Then I gave him to Lucas. My body started to tire and I started to lose focus. Then blackness came and I fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up, everyone was in my room. Lucas greeted me with a kiss and said, "Hey, PrettyGirl."
"Where's our baby?" I asked immediately looking around the room.
My voice is raspier than normal because of all the screaming I did. Lucas gave me some water which helped the soreness.
"Right here." I looked to the voice and saw it was Karen.
"Karen!" I said surprised.
"You didn't think that I'd miss the birth of my first grandson?" she said rocking him back and forth. Then she gave him to me.
As soon as I looked down at him, my eyes started to water. I looked up to Lucas. "This is our baby."
He smiled, bent and kissed me. "Now what should we name him?" I asked.
He narrowed his eyes in confusion. "I don't know. I guess we forgot that part." I laughed at that.
Then I suggested, "What about Adam? No!" I quickly put down.
"Whatever you choose, I'll be happy with." Lucas said kissing my temple.
"Well," I looked down at my baby, "I think Eric Kaden Scott." I decided.
"Wait, you're naming him after Caden?" Nathan exclaimed.
"Oh, sorry, but I really like it and we'll spell it with a K not C. I just… I don't know, it fits." I declared.
"It's fine." Lucas said standing up for me.
"Alright, so who's going to be your godmother?" Karen said stroking the baby's head lightly.
"Umm, Haley, Peyton, I'm sorry. I gotta pick Rachel." I said looking at Rachel.
She looks up shocked. "Are you serious?" she asked. I nod and she comes over, I give Lucas the baby, and she hugs me.
"Thank you." She whispers in my ear. I try to respond, but my voice is but a whisper.
