Spoilers for the next chapters: Brooke/Lucas/Emma. Complications, Laney... Please review!

First of all I just want to thank everyone SOOOOO much for all the reviews. When I sat down and wrote this story I had no idea people were going to like it... Then when I started getting reviews I was like WHAT THE HECK! Again thank you so much. Please keep reviewing! (

I haven't updated in awhile because I have been in the land of no computers... What fun. This chapter is kind of short because I was writing in a hurry.... The next one will be a lot longer.

Brooke and Lucas drove down the 2-lane road. It was poring rain and Brooke could tell Lucas was having a hard time seeing. "Lucas slow down... It isn't going to help Emma if we are dead" Brooke said seeing that the speedometer was on 85. Lucas slowed down to 70 but Brooke could tell by the look on his face he wasn't going to slow down anymore. She couldn't help but think about Dan and how they had tricked him. Seeing him lay their helpless and her having all of the power. It was a really good thing she did because with out it they wouldn't have any idea where Emma was. The only problem was just because they knew where Emma was didn't mean that they were going to be able to get her back. According to Dan they were going to have to do a lot of work because of the lies he had told about their parenting. He had said that he would revoke them all but Brooke didn't think it was going to be that easy. She had known Dan Scott since she was 5 and what he said and what he did were to totally different things. There was no telling how this was going to work out. She looked at Lucas who was brooding. She hadn't seen him like this since she had found out she was pregnant the first time and then had to tell him she had lied about it. He looked like a scared little boy, not a father 2 almost. It was times like these where it really hit Brooke that they were too young to be parents. She loved Emma and this new baby more than anything but she more of a big sister to them than a real mom. She remembered this one time when she was at Nathan's beach house for a party after one of his games and Tim had popped in a tape of Dan and Karen when they were just about the same age as Brooke and Lucas. Peyton had been so scared that they were going to turn out like Karen. The of course she had told Peyton (in her drunken state) that it wasn't her that was going to be like Karen because she was going to use proper birth control or something like that. Then she had said that "They" weren't going to end up like Karen... Peyton was. But if anything Brooke was like Karen now... except for the fact she had Lucas and he loved her and Emma. Brooke couldn't believe that it hadn't even been 3 years since that night. Everything was so much simpler then. All she cared about was what shirt she was going to wear to the party or worrying about how she was going to snag Lucas never knowing that she would love him like she does. But then even though it seems simpler now then it was just as dramatic to her as things were now. Lucas was drumming on the steering wheel as he drove. Stopping only to yell things to unsuspecting drivers. "Lucas at this rate we are going to beat them back to Charleston... that is if we don't die in a car accident" Brooke said grabbing his hand. "Brooke... I just want to get there... Is that ok with you?" Lucas snapped back. "Look Lucas...I want her back just as much as you but yelling at me isn't going to help the situation!" Brooke said slamming her hands down on the seat. "I'm not yelling" Lucas said trying to stay calm but still raising his voice. "Well your sure not talking in you inside voice" Brooke yelled back and turned to look out the window. She wasn't going to do this with him right now. It was better if neither of them spoke. They were both too upset and stubborn and she knew that one of them was going to end up saying something they would regret. But apparently Lucas didn't "Look Brooke... If you want to drive than be my guest!" Brooke didn't answer. "Brooke...Brooke...Oh yea Brooke the silent treatment... real mature" Lucas snapped one last time and looked back at the road. Lightning was striking everywhere and it was starting to hail. Then Brooke saw it out of the corner of her eye. A tree lightning had just stuck falling right in front of them "Lucas lookout!"

"Ok little Patty... now what is your whole name?" Jean asked sitting in the backseat with Emma. "Ema Got" Emma said trying to say Emma Scott the best she could. "No muffin... that is your old sinful name. You new name is Patricia Jean Smith." Emma looked up confused. "Where mommy?" Jean looked over at Billy who was driving. "Do you think it is ok to tell her that I am her new mommy?" She asked with pleading eyes. "I don't see why not sugar muffin. With the lies that Mr. Scott told for us it looks like she is ours" Billy said with a devious grin on his face. "I am your new mommy Patty. Your other mommy doesn't love you. She doesn't want you anymore so your new daddy and I brought you to live with us." Emma stared up at Jean "Mommy go bye, bye?" She asked innocently. "Yes... She was a bad mommy," Jean said trying to comfort Emma whose eyes were swelling up with tears. "I want my mama" she started to yell and cry at the same time like a lost child. "I am your mama" Jean said trying to quiet Emma. Emma kept on crying louder and louder. "Shut that baby up" Billy said trying his best to see through the rain and hail. "I am trying... She is just upset she will be better after I have fed her." Jean pulled out a bag labeled vegetarian organic foods. "Now Patty... The first lesson I am going to teach you is this. My son and daughter chose not to follow this life style once they were older but hopefully you will. In this family we are vegetarians. We do not eat any living thing. We do not eat apples and other fruits and vegetables until they have fallen from their tree or bush on their own. Because you see muffin... If you picked then that would be like killing them and that isn't fair now is it? So we will buy all of your food from this special store" Emma was crying louder than ever and was now throwing things. "Ouch!" Billy yelled feeling Emma's pacy hitting him on the back of the head. "Calm that child down woman!" Jean was doing her best to feed Emma the food but Emma was still crying and spitting it out. "Alright Pat...Emma if you are a good girl then Billy and I will take you back to your mommy and daddy... but you have to stop crying and eat your dinner." Jean lied. But it quieted Emma. "An awson?" Emma said with one last tear running down her cheek. "Sure... why not" Jean snapped putting the food into Emma's mouth.

Lucas slammed on breaks but it didn't seem to help. The car crashed into the tree swinging both Brooke and Lucas forward and causing both airbags to go off. "Son of a bitch!" He heard Brooke yell and from that figured she couldn't be hurt but so bad. "Brooke are you ok?" Brooke pulled her head up from the dashboard. From what Lucas could see she wasn't bleeding. "Yea... I think so... Lucas you're bleeding" She said pointing to his forehead. Lucas reached up and felt the blood trickling down. "Its fine... Brooke are you sure your ok?" Lucas asked putting his hand on her stomach. "Yea..." She said grabbing his hand. "We better call someone." Lucas picked up his phone and started to dial but stopped. "What's wrong?" Brooke asked looking concerned. "No signal" Lucas said flatly. "Lucas we are in the middle of no where...what are we going to do?" Brooke was panicking. "Brooke it's not a big deal... we can just wait here until morning and then I will go and find someone. Lucas said looking out the window seeing how bad the rain was. "Lucas... I barely fit in this car... How am I going to sleep?" Brooke said looking down at her stomach. "Do you want me to go out and get struck by lightning?" Lucas asked looking her in the eyes. "That depends... How much life insurance do you have?" Brooke teased. "Ha, ha" Lucas said laying his seat back. "Fine but if some murderer comes and kills me tonight then you are really going to regret it" Brooke said pouting. "Well what if he kills me too?" Brooke smiled "He won't kill you... they only like to kill pretty girls like me," she said feeling very sure of her self. Lucas nodded "Well then I guess I will just have to marry Peyton or Haley... or maybe Nikki" Lucas said turning over to face Brooke who was trying her best to get situated. "You better watch yourself Lucas Scott." She said finally giving up and just turning over to face him. There was a long pause. Lucas knew that they were both thinking about the same thing. Before he had a chance to talk Brooke broke the silence. "You know I never really wanted kids" Brooke started. He saw a tear run down her cheek as she spoke. "I always thought that I would graduate having slept with every decent guy in the school and then go off to some college and sleep with every guy there too. Then maybe I would be some kind of actress or fashion designer. Then marry some rich lawyer and we would only have to see each other maybe twice a week for sex. Kids just always seemed last on my list of life goals. Then... then I met you." Lucas started to break in but Brooke stopped him "No Lucas I need to tell you this. When I first met you my whole goal was to get you away from Peyton and sleep with you. But when you didn't cave into my sexiness it just pissed me off... so I tried even harder and it seemed like the more I pushed the more you wanted Peyton. So finally after what seemed like forever we started dating and I fell for you hard! And even though we had that REALLY bad break up and there was all the awkwardness when I realized that I might be pregnant you were the first person I went to... and you were there for me even after I had made your life hell you still were there for me. Then I was even meaner to you and you still stayed... Why? I have no idea any other guy would have run far, far away anyway... That's when I knew I wanted to have kids. Even though I was 16 I was excited about being pregnant. Having something that would love me no matter what. Then when the doctor called and told me the test was negative I was upset... Lucas we can't lose her... I need her" Brookes emotions took over and she couldn't talk anymore. Lucas rubbed her head "Brooke we're going to get her back... do you hear me? I promise you"

Jean and Billy drove up to their Charleston house to see a huge banner on the front door saying "Welcome Home Patty" and Jimmy and Laney standing in the front. They had put the house for sale when Jean got her transfer but changed their minds after being in Tree Hill for a couple weeks. Luckily the house hadn't sold and they were able to move right back in. It was a small house. It had 2 bedrooms (3 if you counted the dining room they had turned into a bedroom) 2 bathrooms and a kitchen den area. Billy had always said "The family that lays together stays together" and Jean strongly agreed. Laney came skipping to the car door holding a baby seat. "Mommy! You're home... Did you bring her?" She asked Jimmy running up beside her. "Jimmy, Laney, Meet your new sister Patty and before long you will have a little brother according to the court house. We will name him Billy Jr." Laney was jumping up and down. Jimmy just smiled. "Well we better get this little one into the house." Jean said carrying Emma who was asleep. They walked into the light blue house. When Billy opened the door all 5 of their cats ran out as if they had to get away from something. "Now Patty this is your new house" Billy said putting Emma on the floor to walk around. "Belwa...Belwa" Emma yelled at the top of her lungs. "What is a Belwa?" Laney asked looking around. "Patty what is a Belwa?" Jean bent down and asked Emma who was still yelling, "My dagie" Emma said smiling and then continued to call for Bella. "They gave her a dog, maybe we should get her a dog, then she will feel more at home" Laney said yelling over Emma's calls. "Darling you know that your father is allergic to dogs. We can only have cats." Laney smiled "I will give her Mr. Meow" Mr. Meow had been Laney's cat that she saved from the streets. It was a black and white with green eyes. "Laney... You are my sweet girl! Go get him" Jean said picking the screaming Emma up. Laney went outside to find Jimmy on his cell phone. "Who's that bro?" She said not paying any attention to the fact that he was on the phone and he might want to talk in peace. "Yes sir... I will call you back" Jimmy hung up the phone fast and turned to Laney... "Oh just talking to one of my professors... Do you need something?" Laney smiled. "Have you seen Mr. Meow?" Billy looked around him as if he were going to see him. "No... Check the shed" Laney skipped off and Jimmy picked up his phone. "Yes sir I am sorry... I need to make a complaint"

Brooke woke up feeling a sharp pain in her back. "Son of a bitch that hurts" She yelled. Lucas almost jumped out of his skin. "What hurts?" Lucas asked trying to stay awake. The sun was just coming up. It couldn't be any later than 6:00. "My back it's killing me!" Brooke said moaning. "Brooke...Are you having labor pains?" Lucas asked not wanting to know the answer. "No probably more like sleeping in a cramped, hot, wrecked car pains... Lucas they are probably just Braxton Hicks. I had then with Emma. Come on we need to fond someone to tow this car." She said with her hand on her hip. "Do you want to wait here? I can go look?" Lucas said. He really didn't want her up walking around. "Lucas are you kidding me? I am not waiting here for some mass murderer to come and kill me... I can walk just as well as you now come on! I am hungry" Brooke whined and started walking. She was leaving with or with out Lucas. They walked for what seemed like hours. Brooke's pains were getting worse and worse but she didn't want to tell Lucas because she was scared that he would get crazy on her and neither of them needed that. Besides it wasn't like she was in labor. She still had about 7-8 more weeks. This baby want don't cooking yet. She looked over to Lucas who was brooding. She was too. She hated to brood, it made her feel like Peyton. One of the things that made her and Lucas so compatible was the fact that she was Cheery and he was Broody. It was that simple. They were opposites. She was now humming "It's a small world after all" Trying to not think about the pain. If that song didn't make her Cheery she didn't what did. "Brooke... are you ok?" Lucas asked after about the 100th verse of the song. "Of course I am Broody... You know you worry to much" Brooke said but not very convincingly. "Well it's just that half the time you are humming it is normal and soft and then the other half it sounds like a dying cat." Brooke tried to smile but the pain was too intense. "Ok Lucas I lied I am dying here...these things hurt!" Brooke finally said. Lucas picked up his sale phone and dialed out. There was still no signal. "Brooke how often are you having them?" Lucas asked. Brooke could tell by the look on his face he wasn't going to like her answer. "About every 5 minutes" Lucas's jaw dropped. "Brooke didn't you ever listen in health class! The more you walk the faster you have the baby!" Brooke couldn't believe he was lecturing her on this subject "Well Lucas did I listen in Health class? Yes... Wait no I was out sleeping with you remember??" Brooke was in pain and she was not in the mood for this. Lucas thought for a second "Good point... Ok We are in the middle of nowhere with no cell phone signal." Brooke glared at him "Thanks for the recap captin obvious, now can we go before I have this very early baby on the street?" Lucas helped Brooke down the street for about 1/3 of a mile when the finally saw a house. "Oh thank god!" when they got to the doorstep. She rang the doorbell 8 times in a row before someone finally came to the door. It was an elderly woman maybe 60, with gray hair. She was short and looked very sleepy. "Can I help you?" She asked looking annoyed. "Can we please use your phone? My fiancé is having a baby and our car is wrecked about 4 miles back" The woman looked suspicious. "Now how do I know you are telling the truth? How do I know you aren't one of those rapist?" Brooke was ready to hit the woman. "Look lady... I have a STRONG feeling I am going to have this baby any minute now... Either you let us use your phone or my fiancé here is going to kick your ass..." The lady opened the door wide enough to let Brooke and Lucas in. "Lie down here sweetie." Brooke laid down on the couch. It felt so good to lie down. Poor Lucas was in a panic. She felt sorry for him. The lady walked over handing Lucas her phone. He dialed 911. "Yes hello... No I can't hold!" She heard him saying. "Now what is your name?" The lady asked sitting down next to Brooke. She really didn't feel like having an entire conversation with this woman but figured since she was letting her use her house that she had better. "Brooke Davis" Brooke said tossing and turning trying to get situated. "I have a daughter in law named Brooke. I don't like her." The woman said flatly. "Now is this your first baby? You look so young, How old are you?" The lady continued. Brooke wanted to scream. Being young was the last of her worries right now. "No... This is my 2nd baby... I have a daughter Emma who is almost 2." The lady smiled. "Oh well that is nice. How old are you?" She asked again. "19! Ok I am 19 and I am having my second baby and it is a boy and he's not due for 8 more weeks!" Brooke yelled through the pain. It did seem to quiet the lady though. She was silent for a while and then decided to speak again "Well I had 3 kids and I think you are having a girl" Brooke moaned, "It's a boy!" Was all she could get out? Lucas finally hung up the phone and came to Brooke's side. "How are you feeling?" Lucas grabbed her hand. "Lucas you had better be happy with this baby and Emma because I am never doing this again! Don't touch me!" Lucas quickly let go of her hand. "Ok Well they said the ambulance should be here with in 20 minutes..." Brooke moaned again. "I don't think I am going to last 20 minutes!"

Jimmy woke up and looked at the clock. It was 3:23 am. Hopefully his plan would work. He had been trying to think of something to help Brooke and Lucas ever since his parents had decided that they were going to follow through with their plan. Unlike Laney and his parents he knew that his parents had no business raising more children. They had already done a number on the 2 that they had. He like Emma had been taken from his real parents when he was very young because Jean and Billy felt that living with his single mother was hurting him. He didn't remember much about her other than the fact that she had red hair just like him and that she had been raped when she was 17 and that was how she got pregnant. The rest was all a mystery to him. A mystery that he felt he needed to know about and even if he could never know what kind of a woman his mother was he was not going to let Emma have the same fate as him. He had 2 loving parents and that was enough. He had pretended to be part of the plan the whole time. Really always being one step ahead of his parents and Laney. The only reason they wanted to take Emma from Lucas and Brooke was because they had hurt Laney. All they wanted was revenge. So while they had been doing research and finding a way to get Emma he had been doing the same thing except he knew how to give her back. 1 day a few weeks ago he had gone into Laney's planner and taken Lucas's cell phone number out so that he would have it handy. He had been trying to call him all night but there was no answer. He was just going to do it with out Lucas and Brooke knowing. He stood up out of bed and got dressed as quietly as he could. He was going to have to some how sneak Emma out of the house and get her to the courthouse with out his mom and dad knowing. This was going to be hard considering how loud Emma was. She had cried until 2:30 because they wouldn't let her sleep with her pink puppy. He just hoped she was tried enough to sleep through the whole thing. He walked slowly into Laney's room where Emma was asleep in a crib. The room was bright pink and had flowers everywhere. It gave him a headache every time we walked in there. He looked over to Laney's bed to make sure she was sleeping but she wasn't there. She had probably gotten scared and gone and gotten in their parent's bed. She was such a sissy. He didn't think she had ever slept in her room by herself. Emma was asleep. Her cheeks her red and tears stained. Her long brown hair was tangled and all over the place. It was hard or him to believe that any human being could cause a child so much pain. Sure her parents had made a mistake by having sex so young. But from what he could tell Emma was a healthy happy child. He packed a bag with the necessary things that a baby might need and then picked Emma up as gently as possible so she wouldn't wake up.

It had been 30 minutes and the ambulance still wasn't here. "Lucas... Just shoot me now..." Brooke was saying in between contractions. He didn't now what to do for her. He was terrified that the ambulance wasn't going to get here in time. He didn't know how to deliver a baby and he really didn't want learn. "What does god have against me? What did I ever do to him?" Brooke was moaning. Finally Lucas heard sirens. The paramedics rushed in. This was the second time in 3 days that he had had to deal with an ambulance. "Oh thank god! Please tell me you brought pain medicine," Brooke said in relief. "Sorry ma'am no pain meds until we get you checked out," The paramedic said walking over to look at her. Brooke whined. "Ma'am how far along are you?" Brooke thought for a minute "Um. Almost 29 weeks. Is that bad?" Her face was so pale. "It looks like you are going to have this baby here. Where's the father?" The paramedic asked pulling some things out of his bag. "Oh you mean the jerk who couldn't keep his pants on.... He's over there... Lucas, I'm not doing this alone!" Brooke yelled reaching for Lucas's hand. "Ok ma'am here is what you are going to do." The paramedic started but Brooke broke in "I know what to do!" She yelled squeezing Lucas's hand. "Right ok well I am going to go and get my stuff ready... Miss, don't push!" Brooke moaned. "Easy for you to say!" She turned and looked at Lucas. "Lucas I'm scared." He kissed her on the forehead. He was scared to but tired his best not to show it. "It's going to be fine. They said we couldn't have another baby and we proved them wrong right?" Brooke nodded and Lucas continued. "Well this baby is full of surprises." A tear ran down Brooke's cheek. "Emma's not here." Before Lucas could respond the paramedics started yelling things at Brooke. "Ok Brooke Push" She pushed for what seemed like forever when finally they heard the paramedic yell, "It's a boy" Brooke was right. Lucas kissed Brooke but she was more interested in seeing their baby. The paramedics took him over to the corner and were working on him best they could. Brooke finally caught a glimpse of him when one of the paramedics stood up to get more equipment. "Lucas... He's blue"
