All I Wanted
Chapter 5
Author's Note : I am humbled and grateful for the support my readers. Thank you. Stay tuned!
Keith and Karen were killed by Dan. You want to go there. Bring up the history we share. Fine. You didn't a baby. You need a life raft because you were drowning in loss and grief. Me and that baby would just been anchors keeping you from floating away. You were desperate for a replacement to make up for the family you lost!
Do not put you're abandonment and brokeness on my shoulders Lucas Scott. I have issues of my own to carry!
Brooke sent the long lengthy emotional text straight to Lucas. As she turned off her cellphone and went to back to her hotel room to clear her head and get ready to leave.
She's glad she came back to see her friends and be apart of their lives again. But everything else was too hard and painful to linger in any longer. Brooke decided she would leave Tree Hill tommorow morning. Today she would make sure she gave her friends the needed closure of a goodbye.
Seeing Peyton and Haley awaiting her in the parking lot of the hotel she was staying in sent alarm bells ringing. Once Brooke parked the car she practically jumped out.
"What's going on.?" Brooke questioned.
"Rachel's in labor!" The women shouted in unison.
As they told Brooke that everyone was already at the hospital they had called and texted a handful of times without getting a response. So they decided to come over and tell her themselves.
"I turned my phone off. We have to get over there come on." Broke replied. Getting back into the drivers seat as she unlocked the rest of her car doors.
"Mouth told they are actually in the delivery room." Haley said.
" When everything is done he'll meet everyone in the waiting room." Peyton added in.
Brooke pressed hard on the gas. Unlike the city. Tree Hill streets were easy to move around in without having to stop much. Arriving at hte hospital. Parking in the closest space she could find.
The friends went through the hospital doors and were met with Skills. Nathan. Lucas. Bevin and Jake.
"Us girls will raid the gift shop. While you guys get snacks and drinks we aren't going anywhere for awhile." Haley instructed.
Brooke wanted to avoid Lucas's gaze. But he felt his eyes on her. And couldn't look away.
" . And Bevin will head to the gift shop." Peyton announced.
"What about me.? What's my job.?" Brooke questioned.
"Rachel wants you there in the delivery room with her and Mouth." Haley replied.
Brooke stared back stunned at what she just heard.
"I. What. See I can't. What am i supposed to do in there.?" Brooke asked.
"Brooke Davis. Follow me. We'll get you changed into scrubs and into the delivery room. Mr and Mrs. McFadden are expecting you." The nurse stated.
Brooke followed the nurses lead from the waiting room to the hallway. She was handed scrubs and went into the bathroom to change.
As she looked at herself in hospital attire she was waiting for a joke to be told. For someone to admit none of this was happening to her. Nervous. Unsure very intimated. She had never been inside a delivery room. But if Mouth and Rachel wanted her there she would go.
...
Through the double doors and bright lights. Brooke spotted her friends quickly. Mouth was up by Rachel's head. Holding her hand and holding onto to the object she was supposed to focus on during labor.
"I'm here Rach. I'll be here with you for as long as you want." Brooke reassured her close friend.
When Rachel gripped her hand tightly. Brooke knew there was no getting out of this.
"I hope you enjoyed making this baby and our honeymoon"
"Because we are never having sex again!" Rachel yelled. As the labor pains rolled through her entire body.
Mouth fed her ice chips and wiped the constant sweat off her face.
"I have never been more in love with you." Mouth replied.
"You're doing great Rachel! A few more pushes and this is all over!" The doctor annouced on the other side of the curtain.
"I can't do this! I'm going to ruin it! You're going to be up feeding and changing while i sleep.! "
"I need my sleep and i'm selfish. One mistake it'll be broken forever!" Rachel shouted.
"Deep breaths babe. We are walking into this unknown together. This baby will have us both. We're ready." Mouth reassured her.
Rachel shook her head in agreement as she barred down.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Rachel screamed as she laid back on the delivery room bed.
Crying soon filled the room.
"It's a boy! Congrats parents!" The doctor said happily.
Mouth kissed her gently.
Rachel kissed him back. Taken aback by the intense feelings she felt.
"Hi my boy." Rachel cooed. As she was handed the fussing infant.
"He's got you're red hair." Mouth said. His voice full of emotion.
"And you're eyes." Rachel added in.
Brooke found herself at a loss for words. For what she had just witnessed.
"Brooke we wanted you to be the first to meet Parker Jimmy McFadden." Mouth stated proudly.
"PJ meet you're god mother Brooke." Rachel said.
