A/N: I'm sorry I haven't updated this in ages, I've been very busy with work and tons of exams. Either way, I hope you'll enjoy this.
"Hey sweetie…" He sighed. All the thoughts inside his head made it spin around. He didn't know if he should tell her or stay silence. He didn't want her to break down again, but on the other hand, this was something she deserved to know. It was her baby to, her body. And her life. "What's wrong Luke? I'm fine, I promise." Lucas breathed in and out. This would surely break her. And maybe her heart wasn't strong enough, he wasn't sure his own was. He couldn't loose her. "You scared me, Brooke. Don't ever do something like that again. You scared me…" He said. She stroke her hand over his cheek. He took his hand and laid it on her stomach. "How's the baby?" He knew she was going to ask that. The question he didn't know what to respond to. What to tell her. And then he felt it, like it was a sign. The baby was kicking; he could feel strength in the little kicks. That's when he made his decision. "The baby is fine. It will all be fine." She smiled at him, but he felt terrible. He knew it was wrong, but in that moment Lucas Scott decided to be selfish.
"He is beautiful, but so tiny." Brooke was sitting in a wheelchair and looked at Peyton's baby boy. "I know, but he is strong. He will make it." Brooke took her best friend's hand. "I'm sure he will." They stood there in silence and looked at him. The little boy was three days old, but he was too small to breathe on his own. Peyton and Jake were supposed to go home after the wedding, but Jake was still staying at the house with Lucas while Peyton and Brooke were still in hospital. "Have you decided what to call him yet?" Brooke asked. "We were thinking about Sawyer. Sawyer Jagielski, so he has something from me and something from his dad." Brooke squeezed Peyton's hand. "It's perfect."
"What do you mean you didn't tell her!?" Haley shook her head. "Luke… She has a right to know." Lucas looked at her. He didn't say anything; he didn't come up with a response because he knew she was right. Of course she was. Brooke had a right to know that their baby may not make it, that a miscarriage was a big possibility. "I thought it was strange how happy she was when I saw her yesterday, but I didn't say anything. Because I thought she knew. I didn't want to bring it up; I thought she was in denial. And now it turns out you didn't tell her. She will find out, Luke. The doctor will say something or someone else will. Don't you think she deserves to find out from the person she loves and trust the most in the world? I do, I think she deserves that." She took a breath. "I think that is what she deserves, but if you don't tell her, I will. Because the thing she deserve more than anything, is the truth." Lucas looked at the floor and then at his best friend. Tears were starting to surface in his blue eyes. Haley went over to hug him and he broke down in her arms.
"Hey husband." She lit up when she saw him coming in the door. "I've missed you." She said and waited for him to come and give her a kiss. He didn't come; he just stood in the doorway, looking at her with serious and sad eyes. "What is it, Luke? Is it Peyton? Sawyer?" He shook his head slowly. "I can see that you've been crying, tell me what's wrong." He sat down beside her bed and laid his head in his hands. "You're scaring me…" Brooke only whispered. "Babe, I have not been entirely honest with you. And I'm so sorry; I had no right to keep this from you." He took a deep breath. "The baby is not fine. The stress caused your seizure, and it may be a problem later on. You may deliver too early." Brooke shook her head; she didn't want to listen to this. "Or it's a big possibility you will have a miscarriage." She didn't look at him, how could he not tell her this? "I'm so sorry, Brooke. Please talk to me. Say something. Anything." Not a sound. He saw she was not handling this well, and right now neither was he. "We'll get through this. Together we can make it through anything. In sickness and in health, remember?" She stared right through him, still didn't say anything. She showed no reaction to what he'd said. "Brooke…Please."
