Summary: Brooke is really pregnant. I'm not good at summaries, so I'm afraid that's all you get for a summary.
The River Court after Lucas and Brooke get the phone call from the doctor saying that Brooke is pregnant.
"So… now that we know, what are we suppose to do?"
"I don't know Lucas!" Brooke yelled half filled with anger, half fear. "Does it look like I know what the hell we're suppose to do?!"
"Slow down Brooke, I'm scared too, but you just need to calm down. Just sit down," he said gesturing to the picnic table next to them.
"I don't want to sit Lucas!" Brooke said pushing his hand away from her. "Look Brooke you can't get all worked up like this, it's not good for the baby."
"Who says I even want to keep this baby, huh?" Brooke knew she could never have an abortion, but she also needed to see what Lucas thought. Would he leave, or just feel obligated to stay.
"Brooke, what are you saying? Are you saying you want an abortion?" Lucas was stunned, he knew Brooke was scared, but she couldn't possibly want an abortion.
"I don't know Lucas, I just…" She couldn't hold back the tears now. Brooke fell to the ground weeping.
"Hey, hey it's gonna be ok." Lucas said sitting down next to her and holding her close.
"We can't raise a baby, I can't be a mom. I don't know how a mom is supposed to act. I wouldn't know, I've never really had one Lucas." Brooke managed to say between sobs.
"I don't know how to be a Dad, I've never had one, well except for Keith. But we'll make it somehow, ok."
"Maybe, but…" Brooke trailed off when she saw someone walking closer.
"But what?" Lucas asked. Brooke pointed across the way to the person coming closer.
As the person got closer they could tell who it was.
"Hey, what are you guys doing down here?" Jake asked with a big smile.
"Nothing, I was just leaving," Brooke said standing up and grabbing her things off the ground.
As she started walking away Lucas grabbed her shoulder. "Will you call me later, or are you going to shut me out?"
"I don't know, I'll…I'll call you." Lucas watched her walk away. When she got into her car he remembered that Jake was still standing there.
"So what was that all about?"
"Jake, what was it like when you found out that Nikki was pregnant?"
"Is Brooke pregnant Lucas?" Jake said with concern in his voice.
"Um… yeah, and we don't know what to do." Lucas turned around to look at his friend.
"Well does she want to have it?"
"Yeah, she doesn't want an abortion."
"Well then the question is if she wants to keep it."
"I think so, well yeah, we want to keep it." Lucas started walking over to the picnic table. He sat down and Jake followed.
"I can't lie, a baby is A LO T of work Lucas."
"I know, but I mean, I have my mom… and Keith, and Haley. Brooke and I, we, we won't be alone."
"That's true, but it's still a ton of work. But don't let me make it sound all bad. Being a father has helped me mature, and Jenny is the best thing that has happened to me. But Lucas I have to ask, do you love Brooke? See I thought I loved Nikki, that's what kinda helped me, but then when she left I felt different. Once I got used to not having Nikki around I came around, but if you don't love her, it'll fell really awkward."
"Do I love her? Hmm… you know I thought she was just someone to help me forget Peyton, but then… I got to know her, she let me in. I think I did fall in love with her Jake."
"Oh god, I gotta go. Well it's good to hear that you love her man. I hope I've helped." With that Jake was gone, and Lucas was left there to think about what he had just said: I love her.
