Author's Note: Thanks for all the reviews. Well here's chapter 5, hope you like it. Please R & R.
-Nathan's Apartment-
"I guess we should probably tell our parents that were married," Haley said. She had just finished a very strange conversation with Peyton and was trying to put it out of her head.
"I guess so," Nathan said grudgingly. "We should probably start with my dad, cause if he here's it anywhere else first... well you know," Nathan said. "We can go by the beach house either tomorrow or later today, but let's just relax for now." Nathan finished. He was trying to delay telling his father, Haley could tell from just one look in his eyes. They had known each other for such a short period of time yet they knew everything about the other as if they had been together for an eternity. The two sat down on the couch in front of the TV which was on low, but neither was paying attention to it. They both just stared into one another's eyes and held each other for what seemed like forever.
-The Hospital-
Deb said her goodbyes to the unconscious Dan and then quietly left the eerie hospital room and headed towards the elevator. As she stepped into the elevator the reality of what was actually happening began to sink in. She silently rode the elevator to the main floor and walked over to where her car was located. Deb opened the door and got in, her movements were not her brain instructing her but sheer routine. She got in the car and sat down she closed the door and began to cry, her body fell limp onto the steering wheel and she sobbed heavily for several minutes and then suddenly sat up wiped the large tears from her face and drove her car out of the lot. What is wrong with me? Deb said angrily to herself.
-Brooke's Place-
"Oh my god! Brooke if this is another one of your cruel games you'd better stop now!" Lucas shouted into the receiver.
"It's not!" Brooke shot back, "I promise, this time it's for real." Brooke said beginning to cry.
"So all this time, since that day in your room, you've been lying to me?" Lucas questioned, trying to decide whether or not to believe her.
"Yes," Brooke sobbed.
"And you're positive." Lucas asked, wanting to be sure and not jump to conclusions prematurely.
"Yes," Brooke said, "the home test said I am and the doctor confirmed it. I'm pregnant," she said sounding, by this point, hysterical.
"Well," Lucas started, "I guess I'm comin' back to Tree Hill," he finished, trying to be the calm one in the situation when all he really wanted to do was cry and yell.
"No," Brooke said sniffing, "you don't have to come back, I'll be ok." She finished
"Yah rite," Lucas said bluntly, "you think I'm gunna make you go through this by yourself. Of course I'm coming back. Even if I didn't have to I would." Lucas was trying desperately not to break down, especially with the oblivious Keith in the next room. Having to tell his uncle the news by himself would be hard enough let alone with his hysterical, pregnant, ex-girlfriend on the other line.
"Oh, Lucas," Brooke exclaimed, "you're gunna be such a great dad."
"Ok, well I'll talk to Keith tonight and I'll drive back to Tree Hill tomorrow morning," Lucas told her.
"Ok, bye," Brooke said.
"Goodbye," Lucas said. He set the phone in its cradle and flopped himself onto his bed. First Haley getting married to Nathan now this. He thought. I don't know how much more I can handle.
