Thank you everyone for your reviews! I didn't even think anyone was going
to read it! I have no idea how to work this place so sorry for the weird
format. This chapter is shorter than the other one.... But I promise the next
one will be really long! Please keep reviewing!
Brooke unbuckled little Emma from her car seat. She couldn't believe how small she was. The doctors had made Emma stay a couple of days after she was born because she was so small. Haley, Peyton, and Nathan had been up there non-stop fussing over her and bringing her presents. Finally on Brooke's second day up there the doctor had to tell them all to go home because they were being a disturbance. Karen had come up to see her a few times but couldn't bring herself to hold baby Emma. Brooke could tell by the way she looked at Emma that all she saw when she looked into those little babies' eyes was the destruction of her son's life. A life she had spent 18 years on making sure he had whatever he needed. Teaching him right from wrong and mostly teaching him not to have sex until he was much older. Now it was Brooke's fault in her eyes that her little boy was now a father and Brooke knew she was right. But she couldn't worry about that right now. She and Lucas had their own child to teach these things too and Brooke really hoped that she could burn into that child's head what Karen and her parents hadn't been able to burn into hers and Luke's. She carried Emma into the house cooing at her and telling her how cute she was. After Lucas had carried all the flowers and baby gifts into the house he made Brooke hand over Emma. It was not an easy task but after a lot of coaxing she finally agreed knowing he loved her as much as she did. Once she had put everything away and Lucas had put Emma into her new crib to sleep Brooke pulled Lucas over on the couch and kissed him. "She's perfect isn't she?" He asked with a huge smile on his face. "Of course she is... look who her daddy is" She knew that Lucas loved it when she said stuff like that but now it was time to be serious. "Luke... Do you think if we pray really hard she won't turn out like me? I don't want her to be like me" This broke Lucas's heart. "Brooke..." Lucas started but Brooke cut in again "She is too sweet and to smart and she is not having sex until she is 30. Lucas... I don't regret for a minute having Emma. Not even a second. I love the 2 of you more than anything else in this world and if I could go back and change things I wouldn't...but" Lucas stopped her. She couldn't listen to this anymore "Brooke... I hope more than anything our daughter turns out like you because then I will know she will be smart and beautiful and have the best personality and attitude of anyone I know" A tear ran down Brooke's cheek. "Do you really mean that?" Lucas was hurt that Brooke had said all of that "Brooke I love you. Just because w had a baby together doesn't mean I have to be with you. We could just deal with the whole custody thing. But Brooke I am here because I'm gonna love you more than anyone. I would be here even if we hadn't had Emma because I love the person you are" Brooke seemed content with this answer and laid her head in his lap. "I am really scared Lucas. What if we aren't good enough?" Lucas pulled her head up from his lap "We are Brooke... We are"
Emma was only 3 weeks old and Lucas could already tell she was going to be just like Brooke. This may have scared Brooke but Lucas loved it. Like Brooke, Emma loved attention. She screamed like she was dying when she was alone but as long as someone was talking to her or holding her she was fine. Brooke had gone out 3 days after they had brought her home and bought the most expensive video camera there was. She taped Emma non-stop. Lucas didn't mind he was glad that they would have all of this on tape. She wasn't going to be this small forever. Haley, Peyton and Nathan were over all the time trying to help. Poor Nathan. Lucas actually felt sorry for him. He hated kids and Haley drug him over every day. For a while she even wanted a baby of her own but Lucas and Brooke had talked her out of that really fast. Peyton loved to draw pictures of Emma. Some were really good, some just creped Lucas out. But he and Brooke loved all the attention. Karen on the other hand hated it. She would come over every once in a while to see Lucas. She barely even spoke to Brooke anymore. She had stopped things with Dan because he kept calling Lucas "Dan Jr." but Lucas was glad they had ended things. It was just too weird for him. He did wish that his mom would at least try and be nice. "Emma shouldn't be punished because of Brooke and mines mistake," he would tell her but she would just cringe and say, "I'm sorry Luke I just cant" and would then leave. Brooke had tired to talk to her but Karen had lost it... so they both now just decided to leave it alone hoping she would come around. Lucas walked into Emma's room and stared up at the pink and yellow walls. "Brooke wonders why she can't sleep in here" Lucas thought "It probably gives her a headache" He turned and saw Brooke rocking Emma to sleep. He loved to watch his to girls. Anytime anyone would mention Emma's name Brooke would start to gush about how beautiful "their" Daughter was and how she was their little princess. And if the truth were told she was. They had both made a pact before she was born that they wouldn't spoil her... That pact ended the day after she was born when Lucas went and bought out the whole toy store. He motioned over to Brooke who was putting Emma in her crib. She laid he down and walked out of the room with Lucas. "She is gonna be out all night I bet. She had a busy day... what do you want to do?" Lucas looked her in the eyes "Sleep..." He knew Brooke wanted the same thing. They walked into their bedroom hand in hand and fell onto the bed not bothering to change clothes. "Lucas..." Brooke started. The way Brooke said it Lucas knew this was going to be one Brooke's famous 10 hours conversations. "Yea" he turned to her and smiled. She looked so frail. "I think some things wrong." Lucas felt her head. She was burning up. "Brooke I am gonna go call Haley and see if she can watch Emma. You've got to get to the hospital... Stay here. He ran to the phone and dialed Haley's number... There was no answer. Then he called Peyton; there was no answer there either. As he hung up the phone to try Haley again he heard a thump. He ran to his room to see Brooke passed out on the floor. He ran up to her with the phone in his hand... "Brooke.... Brooke, look at me! Damn it! Brooke" He dialed the number 555-2934 on the phone. "Hello" A sleep voice answered "Mom... I need you to come sit with Emma... I have to get Brooke to the hospital"
