It was the day of the exam and Luke still hadn't left Brooke's side. Well
he did get a shower and do other things by himself. For the past few nights
Brooke's been having re-occurring nightmares. Recently though, they have
become more premonition-like. In the dream she sees the rape as though she
was another person, but then things turn for the worst. It fast-forwards to
the future and she sees a baby, her baby. She takes a paternity test, but
it comes up negative to her rapist. She told Luke about this and he told
her it was "just a dream". This didn't settle with her so she set a date
with Peyton and her new friend Haley.
"What do you think?" Brooke asked the girls after telling them of her dream.
"Well, there are people who have premonitions, but then there's hopeful thinking," Peyton pointed out logically.
"She's right. It could be nothing, or it could be everything," Haley said.
"Well, so basically I'm screwed either way," Brooke slouched back into her chair.
"You have you doctor's appointment today," Haley reminded her, "I'm sure there's some kind of a test that they can do to check the time of fertilization."
Brooke nonchalantly glanced at her watch, "And if I don't leave now then I'm gonna be late.
Brooke and Lucas got to the hospital and checked Brooke in. They waited for about a fifteen minutes before Brooke was up and pacing the floor. Luke walked up behind her and looped his arms around her waist. Brooke cringed at the feeling of someone else touching her.
"Still fresh huh?" Luke asked her.
"Yeah, and I feel really bad about this too," she replied looking at him.
"Don't feel that way. What happened to you isn't fair. When you feel better and more comfortable, just tell me. I'll always be here for whatever you need. I'll wait 'til forever if that's what you need."
"Thank you. I don't know how this would've turned out if I weren't with you. You're my everything Luke."
They just stood there for a little while in each other's embrace. They didn't care that people were staring. They were in love, and going through their hardest times together.
Brooke was called into the office, and she was examined while Luke sat out in the lobby. Her blood was taken and she was told it would be about an hour before they had any results from the tests.
Some point in the hour Luke told her about the conversation he had with Nathan.
"So you guys aren't fighting?" Brooke asked.
"I guess. I mean I hope he's for real. It would be good for the team," Luke said somberly.
Brooke shook her head in agreement. A nurse came out and called for Brooke. This time Luke could go in to hear the test results.
"Ok, well we've got the test results in," the doctor said, "Would you like the good news or bad news first?"
"Umm..." Brooke looked over to Lucas for some help, "I guess the good."
"Well then, the good news is you didn't contract anything from your attacker, and are still in prime health."
"And the bad?" Lucas piped in.
"Well, Ms. Davis, you're pregnant. But there seems to be something wrong, not with the baby or your reproductive system, thankfully, but it's with the age of the fetus. From our tests it's approximately a week old. It's a strong week, so it is very possible that you might have been pregnant before you were raped," the doctor explained.
"Oh, well...yes actually about a week ago I was sexually active...but we used protection," she said worried.
"Well no protection is one hundred percent. And might I ask who the father is?"
"Yes, actually it's him," she said gesturing towards Lucas who was pale.
The doctor let them leave with a good dozen brochures. Now they just had to think about what they were told...
