The whole table was quiet. Neither Brooke nor Lucas knew what to say to this. Dan and Karen? Well they do say that history repeats itself. Brooke thought. She just never thought it would happen to Dan and Karen. Karen was the first to break the silence. "Luke... Look I know you don't understand and well I don't expect you too but just think of it like this. Think of how much you love Brooke Lucas. That's the way I think I love Dan" Brooke couldn't believe what she was hearing. Karen loved Dan? Well at least she said she thought she did. Brooke thought for a minute and realized she could relate with how Karen was feeling. She had still loved Lucas even when he had hurt her most. It was just something that couldn't be helped. She could never hate Lucas and not for lack of trying either. Brooke was starting to see things from Karen's point of view, but she could tell Lucas wasn't. He was sitting beside her steaming, fidgeting with his fingers the same way he had when she had lied to him about being pregnant the first time. Now that she thought about it she technically hadn't lied. I mean she really was pregnant. Now was not the time for this. Her mind had been wondering off a lot lately. Probably due to the amount of Teletubbies she was watching each day. "Back to Lucas" She thought. He was sitting there now totally still. It had been silent now for 10 minutes. Brooke had to do something. She couldn't take it. "So... Who else thinks that purple Teletubby is gay?" Everyone's focus changed straight from the situation to Brooke. "Oh don't look at my like that... Someone had to say something" Brooke shot out. She could tell by the looks on all of their faces they agreed with her. "Look Lucas... Maybe Dan and I should go home and let you and your mom talk?" Brooke knew he needed time with his mom right now. "Come on Danny boy. Your driving my to Nathan and Haley's to get Emma and then taking me home and if you're a good boy I will give you a lollipop." Brooke loved making Dan mad. She had done it since she was six and since her parents her big supporters of "Dan Scott" he wouldn't say anything to make her mad. "By Baby... Call me if you are going to be too late. Here are the keys." Brooke kissed Lucas and then walked out with Dan. He looked pissed. She was going to pay for this tonight but she knew in the long run it would be better. She and Dan walked out together. She of course was giving him grief the whole way out.
Lucas sat there with his mom for a minute in silence. "Don't worry about Brooke... Dan will get her home safely." Lucas looked up at his mom. "It's not Dan I am worried about...Brooke may kill him" Karen and Lucas both laughed. "Lucas... I know we haven't gotten along as well as we use to over the past year... I just always thought that you would wait. I thought I taught you... I don't know what I did wrong" Lucas looked up. His mom was truly sorry. She had a sad and solemn look on her face. "Mom... You did teach me... You taught me well... It's just when I saw Brooke, All those teachings... Well they weren't there anymore" Karen laughed. "I know... That's how it is when you see your true love for the first time, Luke... Dan Scott is a despicable man. He is mean as a snake and you know why that is? It is because I made him that way. I pushed him. When you told me Brooke was pregnant I wasn't worried about you too with a baby... You are both smart and responsible. I was worried she would turn you like I did Dan. But now that I know her better I see how much she loves you Lucas. The way she looks at you. You two made me miss that. Now I didn't mean to get pregnant... That was an accident. But Lucas things happen for a reason. I have always told you that and I truly believe that. Here I brought you something." Karen reached into her coat pocket and pulled out a jewelry case. "This was your grandmothers wedding ring. It is 3 carrots... Not that it matters... I can tell by the way Brooke looks at you, you could propose with an onion ring and she would accept. You need to ask that girl." Somehow Lucas wasn't as mad at Karen anymore. "Mom... Thank you... and I do still hate Dan but I am happy that you are happy" Lucas paused "Oh god do you know what I just thought about... This baby is going to be Emma's Aunt or Uncle" Karen and Lucas both laughed. "Well you had better get thinking. I know Brooke Davis and when your propose it had better be flashy and romantic." Karen started. "But you said she..." Karen looked up at her naive son "I lied... Now come on lets get you home to your family"
Brooke sat in the car with Dan. "So.... Danny boy is this kid gonna hate you too?" Brooke was thoroughly enjoying this. Dan had an irritated look on his face. "I don't know Brooke... It depends on what idiot girl comes and brainwashes it" Brooke turned to Dan trying to look offended. "Are you sure it is going to be a boy?" Brooke giggled at the thought of Dan Scott with a daughter. Finally they were at Nathan and Haley's. Brooke walked up to the front step to knock on the door. Haley came holding Emma. "Brooke we need to talk..." Haley said with a concerned look on her face. Brooke didn't know what was wrong. "Well I have to hurry Dan is driving me home... Long story call I will have to tell you later. Haley turned, waved at Dan and shut the door. "Well Nathan and I turned Emma on Telletubbies today and she well... she said Gay!" Brooke burst out laughing... "Its about time Emmy...Telletubbies are gay aren't they princess" Nathan came to the couch and sat down. "Brooke you have one very educated daughter." Brooke giggled and kissed Emma on the head "I know" She said looking proud... Well I gotta run. Drama waits for me at home. Thanks for watching her." Brooke started to leave when she noticed Nathan and Haley whispering about something. "Should we tell her" Nathan asked Haley quietly... "Sure..." Haley was smiling from ear to ear "Were going to have a baby!" Brooke was hearing that sentence for the second time that night. And apparently it didn't matter how many times she heard it because she was just as shocked as the first time. "Oh My God You guys that is awesome congratulations! Look I gotta run call me tomorrow!" Brooke hugged both Nathan and Haley and made her way out the front door with Emma in her arms. She was happy for them and for Karen and Dan but part of her was sad. She hadn't gotten the joy of finding out she was pregnant and she never would. When she had found about Emma all she felt was fear. Brooke quickly pushed these thoughts out of her mind before reaching the car. She had Emma and Lucas and that was enough. She opened the car door and put Emma in the back seat in her car seat. "There's the Grinch Emma look" She said pointing to Dan... Emma just giggled her squeaky giggle like she did whenever Brooke spoke to her. Brooke opened her door. "Nathan doesn't say hey" She said with a grin on her face. Dan just drove. Emma talked her baby talk to Brooke the whole way home and Brooke preceded to pretend like she knew what she was saying, looking at Dan saying things like "You think he looks like a Wiggle? Me too baby" or "No sweetheart that isn't the boogieman... That's just your scary grandpa." Dan just ignored them both and drove.
When Lucas got home all the lights were off. He had stopped off at the store to get Brooke some Flowers. He owed her big for tonight and he knew she knew it. He walked into the house quietly and put Brookes flowers in a vase then went up stairs to see her and Emma asleep oh their bed watching ER. "Carter... wait" the TV echoed as he picked Emma up to move her to her crib. "Abby I love you" He could hear in the background. Now there was a relationship with troubles. Abby the alcoholic in love with Carter the drug addict, now both doctors. Whenever Brooke and Lucas would hit a bumpy spot in their relationship she would always compare them to Abby and Carter. After that there problems didn't seem so bad. That was one of the things Lucas loved most about Brooke. Life was life... whether it was TV or real... somehow in her mind it always mixed together and made her smart. As Lucas walked into the bathroom he heard Brooke rolling over "Luke...Hey handsome... How did it go?" Lucas looked over at Brooke whose eyes were barley open. "It was fine... We talked and I think we have both made out peace with the situations at hand" Brooke looked confused but then remembered what she had to tell him "Oh my God I totally forgot to tell you! Haley's pregnant!" Brooke said it with so much excitement it scared Lucas. "Wow... Talk about a baby boom" Brooke smiled and turned back over going back to sleep. She slept a lot lately... Chasing after Emma was no easy chore. He walked into Emma's room kissing her one last time before he turned in. She was more and more like Brooke everyday. Not just her looks but her attitude too. She made him laugh and smile everyday. He made sure her monitor was on and walked back to his room and fell into bed. It had been a long day. He grabbed the remote to turn the TV off hearing the last 5 minutes of the show "What do you want Carter?" Abby yelled at Noah Wyle's character "I wanna marry you he yelled back" Lucas turned the TV off and kissed Brooke on the head... "I know how you feel dude" He said back to the black TV screen. "I know how you feel"
It was 2 days until Brooke and Lucas's "anniversary". They had dubbed July 19th "Their" day because that had been the day Brooke had gotten to Charleston. Brooke had no idea what to get Lucas. He kept talking about how he had her the perfect present and she didn't have him anything! Between watching Emma and dealing with all the drama around Tree Hill she didn't have anytime. Plus she and Emma had both had the flu and were both still warn out and cranky from the whole thing. It didn't help matters that she had a doctor's appointment today so she probably wouldn't get to shop today either. She walked into Emma's room where she was sitting quietly playing with her Busy Ball Popper. Out of all the toys she had in her room that is all Emma would play with. Lucas said it was because she was going to be a basketball player. Brooke refused to believe that. She picked Emma up and sat her on her whicker-changing table. Emma's whole room was done in white whicker. Emma squirmed. She hated getting dressed. Once Brooke brought out the pink dress Emma was going to wear she started screaming at the top of her lungs. "Emma... not today... Please just get dressed for mommy." Emma would not let up. "Emma... Please... You can be on TV" Emma's favorite thing in the whole world was to watch herself on camera. She would sit there quietly for hours. Finally Emma quieted down and Brooke dressed her. "Now that's mommy's sweet baby girl. I knew she was in there somewhere" Brooke sat her on the floor and turned on what she and Lucas called "The Emma show" and packed Emma's diaper bag full of toys for her to play with at the doctors office. Lucas had said he would watch her but he was off with Nathan and Tim. Brooke always made him do stuff with them every once in a while. He needed the distraction these days. Finally she finished the bag and grabbed Emma who didn't seem to mid leaving because she knew that the diaper bag meant, "go". She and Brooke went to the car and Brooke buckled her in her car seat and they were off on what Brooke liked to call "One of their famous adventures." Every day was an adventure with Emma. She turned on the radio listening to Jessica Simpson. "Wonder how many moms listen to Jessica?" she thought. They spent all day going to target and then to the mall still seeing nothing to get Lucas. Finally it was 2:35, time for Brooke's appointment. Emma was conked out in the back seat. She was dreading this. Doctors always gave her the creeps and with her history with them she didn't trust them. She drove up to the doctor's office. It was a small building with flowers all around it. She pulled Emma out of her car seat and walked in. It was so crowded. People everywhere. She was really glad she had an appointment. "Yes... Brooke Davis." She said to the desk clerk. She nodded at her and Brooke went and sat down. Emma was now wide awake and trying to pull Brooke's hair out. She moved from her hair to her eyes then her earrings. The old lady beside Brooke was staring. "Is that your sister sweetheart? She is adorable" Brooke turned and smiled at the old lady "No this is my daughter Emma" The lady had a disappointed look on her face and turned away. Brooke hated it when people judged her for having Emma. Emma was all she would ever have so people just needed to get over it. Finally the nurse called her name to go back to the back. Brooke stood on the scales. 108. Not bad... The she walked back to the exam room. Emma was sitting on the floor playing with her doll while the doctor talked to Brooke. "So you have been healthy since our last visit?" The doctor asked making notes on her chart. "Well other than having the flu last week yea..." The doctor smiled..."Ok well we are just going to do some blood work...." Then she looked down at Emma "Wow she is getting big... Looks just like her mama. Where's daddy today?" Brooke could tell the doctor was trying to pry. She always did that almost as if she were trying to find something wrong with their family life "Oh Lucas is out with his brother and a friend... He needed a break after last week." The doctor seemed satisfied with her answer. "Ok... Well I will send a nurse in here to draw some blood. It shouldn't be too much longer." She smiled and left the room. It was another 15 minutes before a nurse came in to takes Brookes blood. When she stuck the needle in Brooke wanted to cuss so bad...but had tried to stop... at least sometimes for Emma's sake. "Ok sweetie... We are just going to run this to the lab... it shouldn't take more than 30 minutes" The nurse grabbed up her stuff and left the room. 30 minutes? Broke couldn't spend the rest of her day here. She still had to find Lucas a present. She looked down at Emma. "Maybe I will just give him a puppy... I want a puppy... Hey maybe he got me a puppy!" Brooke thought to herself getting excited. "Hey Emmy... Do you want a puppy? We can get 3 puppies... Chihuahuas and name them Nacho, Taco, and Bella!" Emma just stared at her and then let out a little giggle. "Oh well" Brooke got down on the floor and played with Emma until the nurse came back. But the nurse didn't come back. It had been 45 minutes and no one had even come to apologize. Finally the doctor came in and had a nervous look on her face. She was fidgeting with her notes and wouldn't look Brooke straight in the eyes... "Brooke... We need to talk... Something came up in your blood work"
Lucas, Nathan and Tim were playing 2 on 1 and of course Lucas was the one. He didn't mind though... He was still killing them. It was nice to finally get out of the house. Being cramped up in the house with Emma and Brooke for a week was not his idea of fun. It wasn't that he didn't love spending time with them... He loved that more than anything. It was just that they were both very demanding when there were sick and to have them both sick at the same time... well he was just glad it was over. It had given him time to think about how he was going to pop the question to Brooke. He had gone over so many plans in his head that they all kind of ran together, except one. The one he had decided to use. He was going to ask her on their "Anniversary". It was perfect. They were going to send Emma to his mom so they could be alone. He looked over at Tim and Nathan who were coming up with a new strategy. "Hey guys can I tell you a secret?" Both guys stopped and looked at Lucas. "As long as it doesn't involve another pregnant woman I'm in," Nathan spouted off. He had apparently had it with Haley. Her hormones had kicked in and she was acting like the wicked witch of the west. "Does it have to do with naked girls.... Wait naked Brooke??" Tim said excitedly. "Dude... no and that is my soon to be wife you are talking about" Both Nathan and Tim's mouths flung open "Dude... I knew you liked her and all but if I had known that you liked her that much I would have stopped my fantasies about her along time ago... Sorry dude... I didn't know" Tim was so stupid sometimes. "Of course not... I mean people have babies with women they don't really like all the time" Lucas said sarcastically. "Well Nathan is" Lucas and Nathan both shot evil looks at Tim "Tim... Haley and I are married!" Tim looked confused "No way dude... When did this happen?" Tim wasn't the brightest crayon in the box. "Dude... Like a year ago!" Nathan said in disbelief. "Guys... back to me...I wanna show you the ring" Lucas pulled the ring out of his coat pocket. "Damn... Don't show that to Haley... She'll he wanting one too" Lucas took it that Nathan liked it. "I am going to ask her Friday... and well I want you too to be my best men" Both Nathan and Tim grinned like monkeys. "Dude... I am truly touched... You and Peyton make an ok couple" Tim said hugging Lucas "Tim! I am asking Brooke!" Tim shook his head "Brooke? But didn't you just have a baby with her? I thought... Dude whatever... I am happy for you and whoever you are marrying." Lucas hugged Tim back. He was starting to regret asking him to be a groomsmen. He turned to Nathan next "You in little brother?" Nathan smiled and hugged Lucas... "Yea... I guess I am big brother" Now all Lucas had to do was ask Brooke. That was going to be the part that was hardest.
Brooke stared up at the doctor. "What do you mean?" she asked looking confused. Maybe she was dying. Maybe she had something like cancer and she only had like 6 weeks to live. So many things were acing through her head. "Brooke... Have you been having unprotected sex?" Brooke couldn't believe she was asking that. Yes she and Lucas had. Maybe he had given her some god awful STD from sleeping with Nikki. She would kill him. "Umm yes but just with Lucas" Brooke spoke softly. "Well Brooke it looks like... Well I don't know how to tell you this... We didn't think it could happen but you are pregnant" The doctor finally spit out. Brooke didn't know what to say. She was pregnant? How had this happened... Well of course she knew how it had happened but they had told her she couldn't have children. "Are you sure?" was all Brooke could choke out. "Yes I double checked... I am as shocked as you are... We need to do an ultra sound to see how far along you are." Brooke couldn't believe this. As if her being pregnant wasn't shocking enough, her, Haley and Karen all three pregnant at the same time. That was crazy! The doctor put the jelly on her stomach and did the ultra sound. "It looks like you are about 12 weeks along." Brooke smiled "Is it healthy?" The doctor smiled back. "Good strong heart beat... Looks like Emma is going to be a big sister. Here... Take these home to Lucas." The doctor handed her pictures "Show him his new baby" Brooke took the pictures. She now knew what she was going to give Lucas.

We are just going to run this to the lab... it shouldn't take more than 30 minutes" The nurse grabbed up her stuff and left the room. 30 minutes? Broke couldn't spend the rest of her day here. She still had to find Lucas a present. She looked down at Emma. "Maybe I will just give him a puppy... I want a puppy... Hey maybe he got me a puppy!" Brooke thought to herself getting excited. "Hey Emmy... Do you want a puppy? We can get 3 puppies... Chihuahuas and name them Nacho, Taco, and Bella!" Emma just stared at her and then let out a little giggle. "Oh well" Brooke got down on the floor and played with Emma until the nurse came back. But the nurse didn't come back. It had been 45 minutes and no one had even come to apologize. Finally the doctor came in and had a nervous look on her face. She was fidgeting with her notes and wouldn't look Brooke straight in the eyes... "Brooke... We need to talk... Something came up in your blood work"
Lucas, Nathan and Tim were playing 2 on 1 and of course Lucas was the one. He didn't mind though... He was still killing them. It was nice to finally get out of the house. Being cramped up in the house with Emma and Brooke for a week was not his idea of fun. It wasn't that he didn't love spending time with them... He loved that more than anything. It was just that they were both very demanding when there were sick and to have them both sick at the same time... well he was just glad it was over. It had given him time to think about how he was going to pop the question to Brooke. He had gone over so many plans in his head that they all kind of ran together, except one. The one he had decided to use. He was going to ask her on their "Anniversary". It was perfect. They were going to send Emma to his mom so they could be alone. He looked over at Tim and Nathan who were coming up with a new strategy. "Hey guys can I tell you a secret?" Both guys stopped and looked at Lucas. "As long as it doesn't involve another pregnant woman I'm in," Nathan spouted off. He had apparently had it with Haley. Her hormones had kicked in and she was acting like the wicked witch of the west. "Does it have to do with naked girls.... Wait naked Brooke??" Tim said excitedly. "Dude... no and that is my soon to be wife you are talking about" Both Nathan and Tim's mouths flung open "Dude... I knew you liked her and all but if I had known that you liked her that much I would have stopped my fantasies about her along time ago... Sorry dude... I didn't know" Tim was so stupid sometimes. "Of course not... I mean people have babies with women they don't really like all the time" Lucas said sarcastically. "Well Nathan is" Lucas and Nathan both shot evil looks at Tim "Tim... Haley and I are married!" Tim looked confused "No way dude... When did this happen?" Tim wasn't the brightest crayon in the box. "Dude... Like a year ago!" Nathan said in disbelief. "Guys... back to me...I wanna show you the ring" Lucas pulled the ring out of his coat pocket. "Damn... Don't show that to Haley... She'll he wanting one too" Lucas took it that Nathan liked it. "I am going to ask her Friday... and well I want you too to be my best men" Both Nathan and Tim grinned like monkeys. "Dude... I am truly touched... You and Peyton make an ok couple" Tim said hugging Lucas "Tim! I am asking Brooke!" Tim shook his head "Brooke? But didn't you just have a baby with her? I thought... Dude whatever... I am happy for you and whoever you are marrying." Lucas hugged Tim back. He was starting to regret asking him to be a groomsmen. He turned to Nathan next "You in little brother?" Nathan smiled and hugged Lucas... "Yea... I guess I am big brother" Now all Lucas had to do was ask Brooke. That was going to be the part that was hardest.
Brooke stared up at the doctor. "What do you mean?" she asked looking confused. Maybe she was dying. Maybe she had something like cancer and she only had like 6 weeks to live. So many things were acing through her head. "Brooke... Have you been having unprotected sex?" Brooke couldn't believe she was asking that. Yes she and Lucas had. Maybe he had given her some god awful STD from sleeping with Nikki. She would kill him. "Umm yes but just with Lucas" Brooke spoke softly. "Well Brooke it looks like... Well I don't know how to tell you this... We didn't think it could happen but you are pregnant" The doctor finally spit out. Brooke didn't know what to say. She was pregnant? How had this happened... Well of course she knew how it had happened but they had told her she couldn't have children. "Are you sure?" was all Brooke could choke out. "Yes I double checked... I am as shocked as you are... We need to do an ultra sound to see how far along you are." Brooke couldn't believe this. As if her being pregnant wasn't shocking enough, her, Haley and Karen all three pregnant at the same time. That was crazy! The doctor put the jelly on her stomach and did the ultra sound. "It looks like you are about 12 weeks along." Brooke smiled "Is it healthy?" The doctor smiled back. "Good strong heart beat... Looks like Emma is going to be a big sister. Here... Take these home to Lucas." The doctor handed her pictures "Show him his new baby" Brooke took the pictures. She now knew what she was going to give Lucas.
