"Brooke, talk to me- baby what's wrong"
"What's wrong?!" exclaimed Chase incredulously as if the blonde was crazy "Why are you asking stupid questions Scott" barked Chase "Can't you see she's in pain! Damn it! Get out of my way if you're not going to take her to the hosp-"
"Touch her and I will send you to the hospital!" he sneered as Chase balled up his hands into fists agitated "Why the hell are you even still here?"
"GUYS!" shouted Rachel
"Pretty girl-"
"M-My… t-there's p-pain r-right h-here" she cried as she pointed to her lower abdomen "I-It…sSsSs-oh g-god-" Just then he swooped her up into his arms as his eyes caught something that made his heart stop
"O-Oh god, t-there's b-blo" stuttered Rachel unable to finish her sentence as she felt her knees wanting to buckle right under her. "T-There's b-blo-"
"T-There's w-what R-Rach?" murmured Brooke as she was in and out of conscious. "Rach; what's wrong?" she asked frightened to the silence as she opened her eyes to look over at Lucas. "W-What's w-wrong L-Luke?" she cried as she felt her world crashing down around her once she noticed her husband's pale face
"There's nothing wrong!" he replied as he got up to his feet now rushing towards the door
"Y-You're l-lying Lucas Eugene Scott!" she hissed as tears filled her eyes "I-Is t-there s-something w-wrong w-with sSsSs… oOoWwW… w-with t-the b-ba?" she gasp as her eyes suddenly rolled back
"Brooke!" he shouted "No, no- Stay with me pretty girl! I need you to show me your beautiful hazel eyes baby! Open our eyes for me Brooke! RACHEL" he shouted as the red head came running out "HOSPITAL-DRIVE NOW!" he roared as she gunned it "Baby, hold on" cried Lucas as he felt tears stream down his own cheeks "You're both going to be okay" he exclaimed as he rocked her back and forth in his arms
Moments later
"Help, help I need a doctor" he shouted as he ran through the emergency room doors "Please, my wife needs help"
"What happened Sir?" asked one of the nurses on hand as another grabbed a gurney now tending to her
"My wife, she needs a doctor; please get a doctor now!" he hollered frantic not letting go of Brooke's hand
"Sir I need to know what exactly happened tonight for us to do so" she replied as she checked Brooke's vitals
"I need you to get a doctor first! My wife and baby need help; there's something wrong-"
"We already paged our on call doctor; he should be here shor-"
"That's not good enough" he snapped "You need to get him now!"
"Sir" she tried once again "For us to be able to help your wife and baby, we need to know what exactly happened" she pressed
Just then the doctor showed up "Doctor, doctor please you have to help my wife and baby"
"How far along is she?"
"8 ½ months"
"Tell me what happened Mr-?" he asked as he checked her eyes just before pressing his stethoscope against her belly.
"Lucas, Lucas Scott?" the doctor nodded
"She was complaining of lower abdominal pain and then we found b-blood. She's going to be okay right Dr. Halloway" he exclaimed as he read the doctor's name tag "Tell me my wife and baby will be okay" he begged
"Mr. Scott we will do everything we can for your wife and chi-"
"That's not good enough! You're a doctor; I need you to promise me they'll be okay Dr. Halloway! I c-can't; I w-won't loose them!"
"Like I said Mr. Scott; I will do everything in my power to help your wife and baby but until then, I need you to stay calm for their sakes"
"Nurse, please escort-"
"No, no" he cried not letting go of his wife's hand "She, they need me! I-"
"I need you to step out so I could do my job Mr. Scott" he replied cutting him off as they locked eyes. "I will come find you once I have any news" he sighed
"Pretty girl, baby you have to stay strong" he cried as he gently squeezed and kissed her hand just as she slowly opened her eyes "You have to stay strong for our baby girl and for us. Please baby" just then the nurse gently pushed him outside as he paced back and forth; going in circles. He felt as if his world was crashing down on him leaving him gasping for air.
"L-Luke, how are they; are they okay?" asked Rachel panicking as she ran towards him with Chase hot on her heels
"What did the doctor say; what the hell did the doctor say?" shouted Chase as he grabbed Lucas by the shirt
"I-I d-don't know; I don't know damn it!" he barked pushing the brunette off of him
"What the hell do you mean you don't know?"
"CHASE!" hissed Rachel. "Don't act like you're the only one worried about her!" she sneered as the brunette rolled his eyes
"This is all my fault Rach! If I didn't let my jealousy and ego take over none of this would have happened. I shouldn't have argued with her damn it! I-If anything happens to either one of them; god I can't-won't forgive myself"
"Hey, hey Luke; we won't okay! Brooke, she's strong and my baby niece she's a Davis-Scott! She's got the strongest mother I know. Lets' just wait and see what the doctor says before-"
"You're damn right this is all your fault SCOTT!" roared Chase cutting off Rachel as he got into the blonde's face "Why is it that you're always causing her more harm than good huh"
"Chase" shouted Rachel in disbelief
"Well it's the truth! They might as well assign her a permante roo-"
"UUUUHHHHH-AAAAAAHHHHHH; WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP ADAMS!" exclaimed Lucas cutting him off as he grabbed the brunette by the collar throwing him against the wall just as Rachel tried to pull him off "If you and your psychopathic family had just left my wife alone none of this would have happened!" he slammed him once again against the wall "This is just as much your fault asshole!" he shouted slamming him again harder causing a groan to slip from Chase's mouth
"Luke" shrieked Rachel
"None of this would have happened if Brooke never met you!" he barked pushing the blonde off him "You think you make her happy when in reality you're just causing her more damage. Why the fuck did she have to cross paths with you SCOTT; why the fuck are you turning her world upside down" Just then Lucas's fist collided with Chase's jaw
"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ADAMS" he snarled as he threw a couple more punches as blood seeped out of the brunette's nose and mouth. Chase then retaliated by tackling the blonde as they were now rolling around on the ground beating the living day lights out of each other.
"Shit Luke" shouted Nathan as he sprinted over and tried to pull Chase out of his brother's grip "Dude you're going to get kicked out of here let alone arrested"
"I don't care Nate; let me go! I've wanted to kick his ass for quite sometime now! Let me go!"
"Lucas" hissed Haley "We're at the freaking hospital" she sneered "You two should be ashamed of yourselves"
"What? You can't handle the truth SCOTT?! It's not my fault that Brooke always ends up in the hospital because of you! Why she's with you beats the hell out of me!"
"Watch it AD-" hissed Nathan as he glowered at the brunette
"Let me tell you something ADAM'S" growled Lucas ignoring his best friend's words as Nathan pulled him back "What Brooke and I have is pure-unconditional love! I love her with every ounce of my fibber and being! She's my heart and soul! She's the air I need to breathe, heart to keep mine alive; she's my damn world! I would rather break every damn bone in my body than allow anyone to cause her any harm let alone touch her! I vowed to protect her and love her like no tomorrow and that's what I plan on doing for the rest of our lives! Up until when you and your psychotic parents cornered and stressed her out with your damn ridiculous proposal we've never been happier! Hell we've never even fought before and that might sound crazy but it's the truth! We love each other that much that compromising, by always letting her win or allowing her to believing that she's always right even if she's wrong or the fact that she's got me whipped is all worth it-just as long as she's smiling, laughing, showing me her beautiful dimples or always holding that sparkle in her eyes. How and why you would even think of asking her to marry you beats me; but the fact that she's 8 ½ months pregnant and happily married makes me want to kick your ass for stressing her out! How selfish can you be?! Everyone knows that she's beautiful, amazing and selfless but you; you took advantage of her at her most vulnerable state! You knew deep down inside she only sees you as a friend but you pushed and pushed until you came in between us; and I was stupid enough to allow it!" he shouted "I swear if anything happens to them Adams" he sneered beyond livid "I will bury you alive"
"Is that a threat Scott" shouted Chase retaliating as Jake immediately grabbed the brunette as he and Peyton made their way over
"What the hell is going on here?" asked the curly blonde in disbelief
"No that's a damn promise Adams" he barked as he once again got into the brunette's face "She's my wife; and I'll be damned if you think you're going to take her away from me"
"Well after tonight I think I already did" he smirked as Lucas was outraged.
"Have fun big bro" whispered Nathan as he let the older Scott go just as his fist once again found Chase's face.
"Nathan" hissed Haley "He's going to kill him" she exclaimed as they watched Lucas pound into the brunette "Do something"
"Well it's not like he doesn't deserve it Hales"
"Jake baby do something" tried Peyton as the two brunette locked eyes
"Sorry Peyt; I'm with Nate on this one"
"DAMN IT GUYS!" they hissed in unison "NATHAN ROYAL SCOTT" he cringed to his wife's voice "Brooke is lying in there alone scared" she yelled pointing to the double doors that their best friend is behind "out of her mind and her jackass of a husband is out here going all Bruce Lee/Jackie Chan/Jet Li on Chase who'll probably get himself kicked out let alone arrested which will then stress her out even more especially when she wakes up and he's not there by her si-"
"Luke, that's enough" shouted Nathan as he pulled his brother off of Chase who wiped away the blood from his mouth and nose
"That's all you got" he smirked as the blonde darted towards him just as Nathan grabbed him
"Walk away Adams" hissed Nathan through gritted teeth "Or your parents will be visiting you in the trauma room once I let Lucas go at it again" Chase glared at them
"This isn't over! I'm not leaving until I see Brooke" then he was gone
"Whoa, whoa; come on- take a deep breath; he's not worth it" said Jake as he pressed his palm against his best friend's chest
"Go get him cleaned up guys" instructed Haley beyond disappointed as they walked away
"What the hell happened tonight Luke?!" asked a confused Nathan
"I don't want to talk about it" he exclaimed washing away the blood from his hands and face. He had just a few scratches nothing major like Chase.
"Like hell you're not going to talk about it! When we left you tonight; I told you to get your act together and all of a sudden she's rushed to the emergency room?"
"And what did Adam's mean when he said after tonight he had Brooke Luke?" asked Jake as Lucas sighed
"She took off her rings and she gave them back to me" the guy's mouth dropped open
"What the hell did you do!" they shouted in unison
"Look I need to be there just in case the doctor comes out looking for me"
"What the hell happened tonight Luke?" hissed Haley as she stood outside the men's bathroom with her arms crossed her chest tapping her feet waiting for her best friend to come out
Silence
"LUCAS EUGENE SCOTT; don't you dare make me call Karen" he took a deep breath cringing to the use of his full name
"W-We got into a heated argument"
"Lucas" she gasps
"Rach" said Peyton as she noticed the red head's quiet-very shaken form "Honey B will be okay! She's strong, she's a fighter!"
"I-I've never been so scared Peyt" cried Rachel as the curly blonde pulled her best friend into a hug "S-She was so; I've never seen Brooke so-"
"Shhhh, shhhh it's okay sweetie" said Peyton rubbing circles along her back "B will be okay; she just has too"
"Don't look at me like that Hales. I know I'm a jackass okay! I shouldn't have argued with my 8 ½ month pregnant wife but I snapped! I know it doesn't excuse what happened but I can't loose them Hales, I just can't! She started having abdominal pain and there was b-blood" he explained as he paced back and forth as everyone's eyes grew wide "This is all my fault!" he shouted punching the wall as tears streamed down his face "I was selfish and inconsiderate; I shouldn't have yelled-"
"Oh buddy" cried Haley as she pulled him into a hug "Shhhh shhhh it's going to be okay. Brooke's strong; she's a fighter Luke!"
"I-I c-can't loose them; god there was b-blood!" he exclaimed "Everyone knows that's not good especially at her stage of pregnancy right; oh god what if-"
"Luke" piped in Nathan as he squeezed his brother's shoulder "Come on man; you got to stay strong for Brooke and for your little girl. We don't even know what's wrong yet"
"But there was B-Blood, and she was so pale-"
"Nate's right" said Jake "Until then lets' not jump to conclusion" he added patting his best friend on the back
"God what is taking so long" he exclaimed 45mins later as the silence was driving him crazy. He stood up and once again started pacing back and forth, going round in circles as they waited for the doctor. Just then moments later, the doors opened as everyone was up on their feet "How are they?" asked Lucas as they all gathered around him
"Maybe we should talk in private"
"Please Dr. Halloway" he begged "We're all family here; anything you have to say you could say in front of them" he nodded "How's my wife and baby?"
"Mrs. Scott and baby" everyone felt a lump form at their throat "are both doing fine" they all let out that breath they were all holding
"But there was blood" said Lucas and Rachel in unison not quite understanding it
"She lost some blood tonight, but thankfully you got her in when you did. The bleeding did stop shortly after I examined her; so we ran some tests and it shows that everything's normal"
"With all do respect Dr. Halloway that just doesn't make any sense to me" said Lucas trying his best to wrap his head around the situation. "I mean, she complained of lower abdominal pain, fainted and there was blood; blood! What could have been the cause of it?"
"Stress, lack of sleep, worrying to much, not enough fluids, being on her feet all day, and especially working-those are all stress factors"
"So this was all caused from stress?" asked Peyton
"Yes as well as dehydration and lack of sleep" he added "As for the bleeding" he said as all eyes were on him "It's hard to say what could have triggered it especially since during pregnancy, there are so many different causes of it from mid to the end of term. The good and miraculous this is that Mrs. Scott, didn't show any signs of a tear or clots passing through and the baby is healthy as can be. It's normal for a little blood as long as it's that dark color due to her being close to the end of her full carrying term" They all took a deep breath "Now if the blood that she had lost tonight was like her normal monthly period that would have been another story"
"Meaning" asked Haley as the doctor nodded his head
"Miraculously that wasn't the case tonight so mother and daughter are both out of harms way but not out of danger" Lucas felt his knees wanting to buckle right under him.
"Danger?" he nodded
"I don't know how else to emphasize upon you that she stays stress free and gets as much R&R and liquids as she can. She only has 2 ½ weeks, 3 tops to go until she delivers so until then she will be on stick orders of bed rest"
"Can we see her?" he asked wanting nothing more than to be near his wife
"Yes. We will be keeping her over night for observation. I'll be by to check on her and the baby sometime tomorrow morning but no later than mid day since she'll be released by the afternoon" he nodded "I would like for you to make an appointment with her OBGYN within the next couple of days. Mr. Scott" he said as they locked eyes "What happened tonight shouldn't be taken light especially since she's 8 ½ months pregnant. It's possible for anything to happen" Lucas felt his heart stop knowing exactly what he was implying.
"Oh believe me sir, I understand. You have my word. I will take matters into my own hands" The doctor nodded "Thank you so much for all your help Dr. Halloway" smiled Lucas as they all shook hands
"I'll see you in the morning" then he was gone
"Did you hear that big Bro; B and your little girl-they're going to be just fine" Lucas couldn't help smile as tears streamed down his cheeks. He felt as if a large amount of weight was lifted from his shoulders.
"She's exhausted so we'll let her rest and come back first then tomorrow morning" said Peyton as everyone agreed.
"Rach?" said Haley as the red head didn't move "Rach sweet-" Lucas put his hand up to stop his best friend as she shook her head
"I-I have to see her Luke" said Rachel as tears streamed down her cheeks "I-I have to see her with my own eyes" she sobbed as he pulled her into his arms
...
"Are you just going to stand there whore or are you going to give me a hug?" smiled Brooke as tears streamed down their cheeks
"Oh Brooke I'm so glad you're okay" she exclaimed as tears streamed down her cheeks once again "You really scared me tonight; I-I thought-"
"Shhhh Shhhh, I'm okay" she whispered as her own set of tears made it's way down her cheeks "I was really scared tonight too Rach" cried the brunette as they held on to each other for dear life "I thought" she paused unable to say it "God, this is all my fault! If I hadn't said those stupid things not to mention take on the stress-"
"Brooke, honey this isn't your fault!"
"But it is though!" she exclaimed "I let my selfishness take over! I could have hurt my baby girl tonight" she sighed "Everyone was warning me especially Lucas to take it easy but I wouldn't listen"
"Brooke-"
"D-Did tonight really happen Rach; d-did L-Luke and I really say those awful-hurtful things to one another?" she sobbed "What the hell was I thin-"
"Hey, hey you heard the doctor. We have time to talk about those things later but right now you need to rest okay. My niece needs her mommy to take it easy!" Just then there was a knock at the door as Brooke felt her heart flutter hoping it was a certain blue eyed blonde coming to see her. Her smile soon faded once she locked eyes with a certain brunette with a black eye, cut lip and a gash about his eyebrows. She knew exactly what had happened without even asking. She prayed to god Lucas didn't look like him or even worst.
"Brooke, thank god your okay" smiled Chase as he rushed to her side "I was so worried" Rachel rolled her eyes not letting go of the brunette's hand she was holding as Brooke's free one rubbed her grown tummy
"I'm okay" she smiled "Doctor says the stress finally caught up to me and that I'm on strict orders of bed rest"
"Brooke, once you're out of the hospital I think we should talk" She glanced over at Rachel than back to the brunette "I think its' best that you don't go back home"
"CHASE!" sneered Rachel appalled "Why the hell are you talking about that right now! Can't you see she needs to rest?"
"Well if I don't bring it up now, when are we going to talk about it huh?" Rachel shook her head as Brooke laid there drained not really wanting to listen. She just wanted Lucas to wrap his strong arms around her and make it all go away. "I don't want you to go back home to him Brooke. I was actually hoping that you'd like to move in with me and my parents" She kept her eyes anywhere but on him "I mean since you've never had experience with babies before, mom will be there and she can help take care of you both" She glimpsed down at her un-ringed wedding finger as she felt her heart break. Everything was slowly coming back to her as her mind got the best of her...
"Why can't you just for once open up your damn eyes Brooke- and see that he and his psychopathic family's trying to tear us apart huh?! Why couldn't you stop being selfish just for once and put me and the baby-"
"I was thinking about the baby" she snapped as she cut him off. She had no idea what she was saying but all she knew was that she was hurt by his words! This Lucas Scott wasn't her husband! He's usually sweet, caring, and loving not cold, mean and harsh. "And that's why I went to see Chase today" she fibbed "Chase, asked me to marry him and you know what I said Lucas; I said yes!" Oh god what the hell was she saying. Chase was confused but thrilled as Lucas felt his heart stop; as if someone had just cut it out and stomped all over it. It broke her heart to see him so devastated by those damn words that just came out of her mouth. She was a bitch and it was too late to undo what she just blurted out so she rolled with it. They both wanted to crawl under a rock and never come back out
"BROOKLYN DAVIS" shouted the red head beyond appalled. This wasn't suppose to happen like this; what the hell was she doing?!" sneered Rachel
"Take that back Brooke" barked Lucas
"RACHEL THE RING" the red head shook her head in disbelief "NOW" she shouted as the red head grabbed it off the couch now slapping it into the brunette's hand "Take your rings back Lucas" she sneered unable to take them off, but managed to do so with shaky hands. Once they were placed in his hands, he felt like they were on fire from her touch. "Are you happy now; you're a free man! We won't be a burden to you any longer" she shouted as tears continued to fall.
"Brooke" said Rachel worried as she noticed how quiet her best friend had gotten. "You okay; should I get-" She felt Rachel squeeze her hand as it pulled her back into reality
"No, no I'm okay" she smiled patting her best friend's hand that stayed intertwined with hers. "Thank you for your concern Chase, really but that's not necessary" his face instantly fell
"But I insist-"
"Rach, can I please have the ring?" The red head nodded as she pulled it out of her purse. She knew Brooke would need it once she came back to her senses just as Brooke knew Rach had her back in it all "I'm sorry Chase, but I can't marry you"
"So that's it?" he asked flabbergasted "You're just going to go back to him just like that after everything that happened tonight?"
"Chase" sighed Brooke "Lucas and I, we love each other regardless of what happened tonight. I know it must sound crazy-"
"But the things you both said-"
"Were hurtful and unforgivable" he rolled his eyes frustrated "Look, I know I said some things tonight that I shouldn't have let alone it was very wrong of me to use you like that but I'm happily married Chase" he scoffed "We can't just get divorce over one fight. I mean every couple goes through their ups and downs and I'd like to think that we'd learn, grow and move on from tonight's mistakes"
"Please tell me you're kidding" he begged
"I'm sorry if I led you on or gave you some type of hope that their may be a chance between us but there's not. We're friends and that's all we'll ever be. After what happened today I realized how selfish, inconsiderate and unfair I've been to Lucas."
"How can you blame yourself Brooke?!" he asked bewildered "You're pregnant and he's the one who's caused you nothing but harm and grief"
"But that's where you're all wrong Chase" she sighed "Lucas has been nothing but amazing to me. He truly is a wonderful, incredible husband not to mention he'll be a terrific father. He makes me extremely happy, he makes me smile, cry- in a good way" she laughs as tears streamed down her cheeks "See" she said pointing to her face "he makes me laugh" Rachel couldn't help smile "he keeps me grounded and very sane; but over all he makes me feel safe, loved and protected. Besides his love, heart and affection he has given me the most wonderful thing in this world and she'll be here in about 2 ½ to 3 weeks" she smiled as she rubbed her tummy. "They are the two most important people in my life and as for my heart Chase; it belongs to him and only him"
"Brooke-"
"Until Lucas and I figure out what's going on between us after tonight's outburst- I think it's best that you kept your distance" The brunette's mouth dropped open in disbelief. "I need to make it up to my husband"
"Make it up to your husband" he asked appalled "He flat out told you that he was tired of it all. He was about to leave you before you-" she felt her heart ache to his words
"I'M WARNING YOU ADAMS!" hissed Rachel "I THINK IT'S TIME YOU LEFT! BROOKE NEEDS HER REST" she sneered pointing to the door as Chase ignored the feisty red head
"We both let our temper, stubbornness, and ego not to mention my hormones get the best of us. I didn't mean any thing I said earlier tonight and I'm praying that he feels the same way"
"He does B" smiled Rachel "Trust me he does; more than you'll ever know"
"What I regret more than anything in this world is for actually taking off my wedding rings" she said glancing down to her left hand "You didn't see her hurt and devastation in his eye like I did" she sighed "I have to make it up to him; he has to forgive me" she rambled as tears welded up in her eyes
"Brooke" he tried once again
"Chase I'm tired, please just take your ring" she motioned for Rachel to hand it over to the brunette. "I'm not the girl for you" he sighed "I've found my soul-mate and he's the only guy for me. In time you'll find the one you're supposed to be with; believe that Chase" He glanced over at his hand where his blue velvet box sat. "And if this is too hard and to much for Lucas to forgive, I will raise this child alone" she said as tears streamed down her cheeks as Chase was beyond bewildered
"That will never happen Pretty girl" her eyes immediately found a pair of gorgeous warm blues as a smile appeared on her face once they locked orbs
"Lucas" she cried as he rushed to her side
"Oh baby, I was so scared" he exclaimed cupping her cheeks as his lips kissed every inch of her face then moved down to her tummy. She couldn't help smile as she ran her fingers through his hair. "I'm so sorry pretty girl, this is all my fault! I'm so thankful that you're both okay"
"N-No, n-no-I-I'm s-so s-sorry; t-this i-is a-all m-my f-fault Luke. If I had only listened and if I didn't say those god awful-horrible-" Lucas silenced her with a searing kiss just as Chase was literally lost for words as he watched Brooke take on all the blame. He was even more upset that she didn't ask how he was doing seeing that he looked like he walked into a fist.
"God, I love you so much pretty girl. I'm so sorry I let my jealousy and macho ego take over baby! I was such a jerk for the way I acted. Please forgive me baby!"
"Luke-"
"I don' know what I would have done if I lost either of you tonight" he cried as she cupped his face as they were now forehead to forehead. "And I understand if you hate me and want nothing to do with me but please Brooke you have to give me anot-"
"Lucas" she smiled as she silenced him with a kiss of her own causing their hearts to skip a beat "You're rambling" he chuckled as they pulled apart "I thought that was my thing"
"Oh pretty girl" he smiled as she wiped away his tears
"Go Adams" nudged Rachel pushing him to move but he wouldn't budge "We should give them some privacy seeing that we've taken enough of their alone time" He glared at the red head not ready to leave as his eyes once again locked onto Brooke "Chase!" she hissed
"My wife's tired Adams" barked the blonde unable to take his eyes off Brooke "Leave now or so help me god!" He waited for Brooke to look over to him; to give him some type of sign that she didn't want him to leave, but that didn't happen. Instead, her fingers found his chin as she tilted his head over towards her so they could once again gaze lovingly into each other's eyes. It made his blood boil that she couldn't tear her eyes away from the blonde.
"Chase, please leave. I would like some alone time with my husband" said Brooke as she finally turned to face the brunette who stood like a statue; his eyes burning into hers. Her words stung him. He felt as if she stuck a knife into his heart and stomped all over it.
"This isn't over SCOTT" he growled as he balled up his hands into fists
"Actually it is! Get out and stay the hell out!" Then he was gone
"I'll leave you two; yeah okay bye" whispered Rachel as she took off
"Luke"
"MmMmmm..." he smiled gently caressing her cheek
"The things I said and the things I did are unforgivable-"
"Baby we can talk about this later; right now you need to get som-" she silenced him with her fingers as she shook her head "I have some things to say and I need you to please just listen" he nodded
"You were right; I was extremely selfish"
"Brooke-"
"Broody" she shook her head once again as she pressed her fingers against his lips leaving them there. "I didn't realize how selfish, inconsiderate and unfair I've been to you or our baby. You have been nothing but amazing, wonderful-incredible ever since we've first met, and for that I've fallen more and more deeply, madly in love you with you. You make me happy Luke; you make me feel loved, protected and safe. I never wanted you to doubt my love for you ever because you're it for me" she smiled "You are my heart and soul and there's no one else in this world, this lifetime; hell the next 10 lifetimes that I would ever want to spend my life with" he smiled as he wiped away her tears "I'm sorry that I let Chase and his awful parents get to us. I never wanted to keep their talk or his proposal from you baby but I just didn't know how to tell you without having you kill any of them" he chuckles "I'm sorry that I work too much and that I didn't take it easy or that I let stress build up and could have caused harm to our little girl" she sobbed as he wrapped his arms protectively around her "I'm sorry that I took off my wedding rings, I'm sorry that I said I'd marry Chase- but you have to believe me that, that would never happen. I made a promise to myself ever since I was a little girl that I would only get married once in my lifetime so you're pretty much stuck with me for eternity" he smiled
"I wouldn't have it any other way pretty girl" she smiled "As crazy as it may sound, but I made the same promise to myself Brooke. I promised myself that someday I would find the right person to share the love my parents have for one another and every since I met you, I can truly say that you are the one." Her tears continued to glide down her cheeks
"You two are the most important people in my life and I don't know what I would do without either one of you"
"You'll never have to find out" he replied leaning in as he brushed his lips against hers "I love you. You and our baby girl are my life now, my reason of living" she smiled as his hand gently caressed her tummy not once breaking eye contact
"Does that mean you forgive me?" she cried burying her face into his chest as her tears soaked through his shirt. He reached into his pockets pulling out something that belonged to her and only her as the waterworks once again started.
"Just as long as you promise me you'll never ever take these off again"
"Oh Luke" she cooed as her right had immediately found her heart
"I promise you Brooke Penelope Davis" he smiled as he slipped on her wedding ring and band "that I will be your loving and loyal husband" she grinned through her tears in awe that he remembered their vows "I will share with you all of life's joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, until death parts us" he then kissed her hand as she grabbed him by the collar of his shirt pressing her lips firmly and eagerly against his.
"I love you so much Lucas Eugene Scott" she murmured against his lips before he deepened the kiss
"I love you pretty girl" he smiled brushing a piece of hair behind her ears before they snuggled. "I think it's time for bed Mrs. Scott"
"Nooooooo" she shook her head pouting "Need your lips on mine" she grinned as he chuckled just as she grazed her lips against his in a sweet, passionate kiss.
"Thank you" he murmured as they pulled apart.
"For what handsome?"
"Loving me, giving me a baby girl, making me a father; the list goes on and on pretty girl" she smiled chuckling as she caressed his cheek. He wrapped his arms around her as she snuggled up against him. "Get some sleep; I'm not going anywhere baby" she nodded as her hand slide underneath his shirt resting over his heart.
"You're heart is pounding really fast broody; are you okay?" He couldn't help smile as it was something she did every night. She told him that the beating of his heart always calms her down.
"That's what you do to me" she smiled kissing him once more before exhaustion took over her body as she fell into a slumber holding on to Lucas for dear life. He laid there as he watched her sleep unable to take his eyes off her. She looked so peaceful, content-at ease as his smile never once left his face. "I love you"
"MmMmhmmm... I love you too"
"Poor thing; she's extremely worn out" said the RN nurse as she came in to check Brooke's vitals along with the babies an hour later. I've been back twice already not once did she wake up" Lucas chuckled
"Yeah, it's been a long day for all of us. I'm just glad she's finally getting some rest" he replied as he caressed her tummy
"Can I get you anything?" Lucas shook his head thanking the nurse before she left
…
"What the hell" she groaned as a loud, banging-smacking knocking noise startled her out of her deep slumber. She glanced over towards her clock as she tried her best to make out the red bold numbers "4:13; you've got to be shitting me!" The knocking got louder as she pulled herself out of bed throwing on her rob as she made her way towards the door. "You better have a god damn good reason for disturbing me at this hour" she sneered

For all your Comments and Reviews!!
To My Annoymous Reviewers:
Bella: Thank you for reading and sticking with me. Let me tell you how hard it was to write that scene. It broke my heart because they're usually all lovely dovey and happy! This was a major change! I figured it was about time Brooke realized that Chase wasn't her responsibility and that Lucas had enough of being second best when in reality he isn't! I know a lot of people thought he was an ass for yelling at his 8 ½ month pregnant wife, but now she knows how he feels and it's a real eye opener for him! Chase will get what's coming to him don't you worry!!
SV: Thank you for reading my story and thanks for your review. I swear it was never my intention to make you hate Brooke because I know we all love her. I had to show that her hormones are out of wack and I know it's not an excuse but she will no longer be a push over because we all know in reality she's not. Mark S did ruin it for everyone by turning Lucas into a complete Peyton brown noser but in my story he'll always be the Lucas we love! I promise Brooke is back on the right track and Chase will get what he deserves! After her talk with Rachel and the hospital scare she's realized how badly she's messed up her relationship with her husband! Things will start looking up, you have my word! We'll get our beloved BRUCAS love back!
Kaliegh: Hi love… thanks for reading and thanks for your review! Honestly, it's so funny how our minds think alike! I swear I have all these ideas planned and written out and once I receive a review email from you it's like freaking telepathy! It's happened twice already with the previous chapters! Let me tell you how hard it was to write Brooke taking off her wedding rings and shoving them at Lucas. It literally broke my heart because I couldn't help think about them in real life!! I wish Chopia were still together! I originally planned on having her put on Chase's ring and shoving that into his face, but I didn't have the heart to do it so I had her yell at him instead! :0) Have no fear, Brucas and Baby will be just fine!! I hope this chapter doesn't disappoint you!!
You guys ToOoOoOoOtally RoOoOoOoOcK … SoOoOoOoO Thank YoOoOuh! :0)
A/N2: For the first time, I've come to a point where I'm NOT satisfied with one of my chapters, and ding… ding…ding this one shall be it. I started writing it Friday and would have posted it this past weekend, but like I said I was torn but at the same time I wanted to give you guys an update. The whole thing between Brucas at the end wasn't the way I originally had it planned, but I didn't know how you all would have felt if I kept them broken up a little bit longer. Part of me thought that since the dreadful PUCAS wedding is finally here I needed to give BLer's some BRUCAS loving! Another reason why I ended BRUCAS like this was because I couldn't have her going into labor just yet especially at 8 ½ months. I did some research on pregnancy given that I haven't experienced it myself personally- but it says that 8 ½ months is a little too earlier and that normal pregnancy are usually at 37 to 41 weeks and that if it's your first child you can expect to be up to 2 weeks late. I wanted her to have a normal pregnancy so taking that into consideration, I did a little more research and found out that the scenario I had written out about how Brooke was complaining of lower abdominal pain and how Lucas found blood was normal as long as it was a dark color and it wasn't like her normal monthly friend because then that would be considered as a miscarriage. So I ruled it out as stress, dehydration and lack of sleep.
I hope you all aren't tOoOoOo disappointed in this chapter since it did still come out to 12 pages. I also threw in Lucas beating the shit out of Chase but couldn't get into it to much since they were at the hospital. I wanted Chase to freaking open up his eyes and ears and realize that Brucas won't give up that easily on their love; but when it comes to Chase, you just never know! The guys freakin' crazy!
Coming Up Next: "Our Beloved Brucas Baby finally arrives!! With that said….
