"Are you okay?" Lucas asked as he came back from collecting Jamie and Jessica. Brooke was once again led back in the bed, propped against her mountain of pillows.
"I'm fine," she replied with a smile. "The pain isn't so bad now. It's more of a niggle. How's Haley doing?"
"She seemed pretty far along when we got to the house," Lucas explained as he began to strip his clothes off. "He examined her while I got Jamie and Jessica sorted and got some of their things together. I put them in one of the guest rooms for now. I didn't want to disturb ours."
"That's probably good for now," Brooke agreed as he climbed into the bed beside her. "We can surprise our lot when they have breakfast. Do Jamie and Jessica know they're here or did they sleep through?"
"They woke up," Lucas replied as he moved closer to Brooke and snuggled up to her. "They're excited about getting a new brother or sister. I'm surprised they fell back to sleep as fast as they did."
"I don't envy Haley right now," Brooke said with a smile. "I suppose that's an advantage of a c-section. The downside is I'll be in pain afterwards."
"That sucks," Lucas said as he kissed her forehead. "But I like how you said it. It means you plan on sticking around."
"I do plan on sticking around for a very long time," she told him before she kissed his lips passionately. "I just hope fate lets me."
"Are you going to be down the action end the whole time?" Haley asked Nathan as he finished examining her to see how far she was dilated.
"Probably," she said with a smile as he took his gloves off. "I can't believe how crazy it's gotten in here tonight. When I was here with Brooke it was dead. Now it's overrun by screaming women."
"I'm just glad you work here," Haley said as he covered her with a hospital blanket. "Otherwise I wouldn't have this private room. Are you sure they're okay with you delivering our baby?"
"The only other person who isn't over run by patients isn't getting anywhere near you," Nathan told her. Haley looked at him curious. "Let's just say he doesn't have a caring bone in his body. And does unnecessary cuts to the women if you catch my drift."
"Seriously?" Haley asked shocked as she was overtaken by another contraction. Nathan quickly gripped her hand and rubbed her back as she breathed through an incredibly painful one. As it eased off she sat back against the pillows. "I thought it was supposed to get easier with each baby? How the hell did Peyton manage this six times?"
"By yelling obscenities at Jake," Nathan said with a chuckle. "And as for it getting easier the more babies you have, you've actually only got another centimeter to go. So it's definitely quicker than Jessica's birth."
"And Jamie's," Haley reminded him. "God it felt like days when I was in labor with him."
"It did for me too and I wasn't the one giving birth to him." Nathan said as he sat in the chair beside the bed.
"I'm glad there's only a centimeter to go," Haley said with a yawn that turned into a moan of pain. "Nathan I need your hand."
"Just breathe," he said encouragingly. "I hate you having to go through this. But then I think of the end result."
"I know," Haley said as she smiled at him. "It's still amazing when you see that sweet little baby that you made for the first time huh?"
"It is," Nathan agreed with a smile. "I know I see it practically every day, but it's so much more special when it's one of your own."
"Oh honey," Haley said as she pulled a face. "My water just broke."
"Do you want me to get the sheets changed?" he asked as he pulled on another set of gloves.
"No. There's no point in dirtying an extra set because they'll only need changing after the baby gets here," Haley told him as he set about examining her again. Haley watched him amused. "You know I think you're over examining me."
"What can I say. I like the view," he told her with a cheeky smile. "What do you know? You're ready to push."
"Really? Thank God!" Haley said relieved. "I can't wait to find out if we're getting a son or daughter."
"I can't believe you held out and didn't want to know," Nathan said. "When I was doing your scans it was hard work not to look."
"Well I didn't think it would be fair to Brooke," Haley told him as he helped her get her feet into the stirrups. "You know what we're having don't you?"
"I might do," he replied sheepishly. "It's been so hard keeping it from you."
"God I have to push Nathan!" Haley moaned suddenly as an intense contraction washed over her.
"Go on Hales, push for me." he told her in an encouraging tone.
This was the first of their children that he had actually delivered himself. It felt a little surreal to him as Haley gripped the sides of the bed and began the mammoth task of pushing the baby out of her.
"I hope the baby is born in time for breakfast," Haley panted as she ended the push. "I'm so god damn hungry and thirsty."
"Well if you carry on at this speed it will be," Nathan told her with a smile. "And we'll also have you both cleaned up and settled and I'll actually go and get some stuff from the staff canteen because the food is way better there."
"I knew there was an advantage of some kind with your job," she said with a smile that turned into a groan of pain. "Another one!"
It took twenty minutes of intense pushing from Haley to have the baby almost delivered. Nathan assured her that one more would be adequate for the baby to be born. She gathered up the last ounce of her dwindling strength and pushed with all her might.
As she fell back against the pillows on the hospital bed, loud, unhappy baby cries filled the room. She looked at Nathan with tired eyes and saw him looking down at the tiny bundle in his arms happily. His eyes moved to hers and she saw they were sparkling with love.
"She's perfect Hales," Nathan told her beaming. He had already cut the cord and headed to Haley's side so she could see the baby. "Our little girl is so perfect."
"She is?" Haley asked emotionally as she saw her for the first time. Nathan handed her to Haley. "Hey Jasmine, I'm your mommy."
"A pretty name for a pretty baby girl," Nathan told her as he kissed Haley lovingly. "Just like her mother."
"Welcome to the world Jasmine Lydia Scott," Haley said as she took in her perfect baby girl. Nathan moved away to check on the progress of the afterbirth. "Are you going to give me a shot?"
"Yeah I will," he replied as he found the drug he needed to speed up the placenta delivery. "That way we can get you ready for breakfast."
"Hello, you have reached the crazy kid house!" Lucas chuckled into the phone as he answered it. He had Sam in his arms who reached for the phone.
"Daddy fon." Sam said with a giggle.
"Hey Luke," Nathan chuckled at the other end. "Just thought you'd like to know you have another niece. She's called Jasmine."
"Sticking with the J tradition then bro?" he asked with a laugh. Sam joined in and Lucas shook his head in amusement at him.
"But of course," Nathan replied with a laugh as he heard Sam. "Are my other two behaving?"
"They sure are. But next time, tell Hales not to go into labor on a Friday night. They're having a Toy Story marathon," Lucas told him. "It's the two babies that are crazy this morning. As you can hear."
"How's Brooke?" Nathan asked.
"She's good. The pains she had last night are gone. She's lying on the sofa watching the movie marathon with the kids," Lucas replied as Sam grabbed a handful of hair and pulled hard. "Sam stop that buddy! It hurts daddy."
"I'll let you get going," Nathan laughed. He could just imagine the look on Lucas' face. "Can you tell Jamie and Jess about Jasmine?"
"I sure can," Lucas replied as Sam finally let his hair go. "What's her middle name?"
"Lydia."
"You and Haley crack me up!" Lucas laughed. "You like your JL combinations huh? James Lucas, Jessica Louise and now Jasmine Lydia."
"Shut up Lucas!" Nathan said as he rolled his eyes. "Look I gotta go. Jasmine's waking up and Hales needs to rest."
"Sure bro," Lucas said understandingly. "Congrats to you both."
"Thanks Luke," Nathan said with a beaming smile. "Talk to you later."
"You sure will," Lucas agreed. "Bye."
"Bye." Nathan chuckled before he ended the call. Lucas put the receiver back down and looked at Sam.
"You just got a new little cousin Sam," Lucas told him. Sam looked at him curious. "Your Aunt Haley just had a little baby."
"Baba." Sam said with wide eyes as he carried him back to the lounge where the entire family was gathered.
"I have some news for Jessica and Jamie." Lucas said in an excited voice.
"What is it Uncle Luke?" Jamie asked as he and Jessica got up from the mass of children on the floor and came over to him.
"Is it about momma?" Jessica asked.
"Sort of," Lucas replied as he knelt down in front of them. Brooke watched eagerly. "Your mommy has had the new baby."
"Awesome!" Jamie said excitedly. "I'm a big brother again!"
"And I'm a big sister." Jessica said smiling proudly.
"Come on Lucas, did Hales have a boy or girl?" Brooke asked eager to hear.
"You guys have a brand new little sister," Lucas told them. Jessica squealed happily and Jamie shook his head. "She's called Jasmine Lydia. And what's with the head shaking Jamie."
"Us boys are seriously outnumbered Uncle Lucas!" he said seriously. "I mean when we're all together at parties, including all my Aunt's and Uncles and Grandpa Dan and Grandma Karen there are twelve girls and only ten of us boys. And now I have a new sister to add to that. That's way too much Princess stuff."
Brooke and Lucas couldn't help laughing at Jamie's little speech.
"Well I had a word with the baby growing in your Aunt Brooke's belly and asked if it could grow into a boy." Lucas said as Sam began to doze off in his arms.
"Did it work?" Jamie asked as Jessica got bored with the conversation and headed back to the crowd of children.
"I don't know yet," Lucas replied honestly as he stroked Sam's back soothingly. "We'll find out when the baby arrives."
"When's that gonna be daddy?" Ryan asked.
"Within the next four weeks," Brooke answered as she stroked her bump. She felt her unborn baby kick in response. "Are you guys looking forward to it?"
"Uh huh." came a chorus of replies. Brooke looked over at Lucas and smiled nervously. He placed Sam down in the playpen and then looked at Brooke and gave her a reassuring smile.
"When can we go and see mommy and daddy and Jasmine?" Jamie asked.
"Later on today," Lucas told him. "Your mom's just really tired so she's resting. And then we'll have to wait until Aunt Peyton and Uncle Jake come over so that Aunt Brooke isn't left alone."
"Why?" Jessica asked, once again listening to the conversation.
"Because my mom has something wrong in her tummy," Ryan told her. "And your dad is trying to make her all better so she doesn't have to go to heaven."
Brooke teared up at Ryan's words. Lucas looked over at her and saw and he immediately got a lump in his throat. He immediately went to her side and took hold of her hand. The children were once again engrossed in the movie like the conversation had never happened.
"Are you okay?" Lucas asked Brooke in a whisper so the children wouldn't hear. Brooke shook her head.
"I'm scared," she whispered back. "You know Nathan said that he would consider delivering the baby earlier if I wanted. I was against it when he said it, but I now I want him to do it."
"Are you sure?" Lucas asked as the lump in his throat grew bigger.
"Yes. That way I'm not like a time bomb Luke," Brooke whispered as he gently wiped her tears away. "The only thing that scares me about it is the fact I might not wake up."
"You will Pretty Girl," he told her sadly as his own eyes filled with tears. He brought her hand up to his face and kissed it lovingly. "I know you Brooke Scott. You're so strong and you'll fight to stay with us."
"I'm going to fight so hard." she promised him as he leaned over and kissed her lovingly, before he rested his forehead against hers.
"I love you Brooke." he said so quietly she only just heard it.
"Not as much as I love you Lucas." she replied just as the door bell went. They pulled away from each other.
"This will be the rabble arriving," he said as he stood and took a deep breath. "Kids brace yourselves."
Lucas headed out of the lounge and down the hallway to the front door. He opened it and revealed Peyton, Jake and their mob of children.
"Hey Luke!" Jake greeted brightly. He held Jake Junior in his arms. "Go on say it."
"Ay uke!" Jake Junior said with a cheesy grin.
"Wow a greeting from the youngest Jeyton spawn!" Lucas said with a smile earning himself a playful hit from Peyton. "Hey Jakey."
"Are you not inviting us in?" Peyton asked as she raised her eyebrows.
"No I'm leaving you out here," he replied. "Come on in. Haley had the baby early hours this morning."
"She did?" Peyton asked dreamily. Jake shook his head at her. "What did she have?"
"A girl called Jasmine Lydia." Lucas told her as they all headed into the lounge.
"Toy Story!" Jake and Peyton's brood said happily and raced over to the ever growing crowd of children sat on the lounge floor.
"Damn it looks like a freaking school." Jake said as he sat down on a sofa.
"What's with Naley's JL tradition anyhow?" Peyton asked as she sat next to him. Jake Junior decided he wanted to go to her and crawled over to her.
"I honestly don't know," Lucas said with a laugh. "Do you guys want a coffee or anything?"
"Coffee would be good," Jake replied as he stood. "I'll come give you a hand."
"I'm so glad that Jeyton took all the kids to the park for a while," Lucas said as he and Brooke lay snuggled up together on their bed. Brooke had felt tired so Lucas had carried her up the stairs and they had both had a siesta. "We finally have some alone time for a change."
"I know," Brooke replied. Her voice still sounded a little sleepy. "Do you think I'm making the right decision in having the baby a little earlier?"
"I think you are," Lucas told her truthfully. "That way the danger is over sooner."
"But what if I don't make it Lucas?" she asked as she snuggled closer to him. He placed his left hand on her bump. "I would have given up the last few precious weeks with you all."
"I'm sure it won't come to that," he said, wanting to think positive. "Nathan will get you through this."
"I hope he can," she said as she place her right hand on top of his that was stroking her bump. "I really do. I hope that you and the kids never have to read or see the boxes I made for you all."
"Where are they by the way?" Lucas asked curious.
"Where I keep my shoes in the closet," Brooke replied. "I organized it so that they're all on one shelf. The letters are in a bundle next to them."
"What are you going to do with all them when you come home with our sweet little baby?" Lucas asked her as he kissed her forehead lovingly
"I'll keep the boxes for the kids and just keep adding things to them," she replied. "I think I'll just get rid of the letters."
"That's the spirit." he assured her as he kissed her again.
"I wonder how Peyton and Jake are getting on with all the kids?" she asked with a smile.
"I dread to think," Lucas said with a laugh. "I bet when they get back, Peyton changes her mind about wanting another."
"I bet you're right," Brooke said with a giggle. "God I'm still so sleepy."
"Well go back to sleep honey," Lucas told her softly, kissing her forehead yet again. "I'll be here when you wake up."
"We're officially insane, you know that?" Jake asked Peyton as they watched the eleven children running around the play area of the park. Peyton had Jake Junior in his stroller and Jake held Dylan and Sam.
"Yes we are," Peyton agreed with a frown. "Scratch the idea of you getting a reversal on that vasectomy okay?"
"Deal." he replied with a laugh.
"I'm just surprised that they're actually all behaving," Peyton said impressed. "It would be hell right now if they were acting all crazy."
"Don't jinx it Peyt," Jake told her as he looked at her like she was crazy. Sam and Dylan giggled together. "I think these two are plotting our demise as we speak."
"Eatsa!" Sam said as he looked at Peyton.
"I think this little guy remembers you bringing pizza." Jake said with a smile.
"Itsa." Dylan said joining in. In a matter of moments both Sam and Dylan were chanting for pizza and Jake Junior was joining in.
"I told you they were plotting," Jake said. "I didn't believe Lucas when he mentioned it before, but now I'm starting to agree."
"So the babies got together yesterday and plotted a pizza demonstration?" Peyton asked incredulously as she shook her head at her husband. "Right I think we should take these monsters back to their relevant parents. They can deal with the pizza revolution."
