Hey Guys! So Sorry I haven't updated in a while, the schoolwork just seemed to be piling on the last couple of weeks, but I've finally got a moment from it all this weekend, and our Thanksgiving break is coming up and then Christmas Break soon after so, look for lots of updates coming up, I promise to try and make this one as long as I can because, I haven't updated in a while. Thanks for reading guys, and as always I highly appreciate the reviews!!! ï
"Ok, so two coffees, a chocolate doughnut, and a brownie, will that be all"
"Yes"
"Ok, I'll bring it right out"
Brooke whirled around from the table she was serving at Karen's Café, she poured the steaming coffee into the cups and brought it back out to the customers. The bells on the door rang signaling a new customer coming in.
"Hi welcome to Karrrr" Brooke stopped mid-sentence when she saw who it was, she let a small smile creep across her face as she rung her hands on the towel she was holding.
"Hi Lucas"
She walked behind the counter and started straightening things up
"Can I get you anything"
"Ahh just a cup of coffee would be good"
"Right away sir" Brooke giggled
"Sir?" Lucas laughed at Brooke's formalness
She handed him the cup with a spoon, and sugar
"I'm just trying to be nice to the customers"
"Brooke, we're having a baby together and you're running my mother's café for her, I don't consider my self a customer, or someone you need to call Sir"
"I don't anything anymore Lucas"
Brooke put her head down, and walked back around the counter to go serve some customers who just walked in. When she was done getting them their food, she returned to her spot by Lucas.
"Talk to me Cheery...if there's something on your mind, I want to know"
"I've just been thinking about stuff lately, and like you said how you're not someone I need to call Sir...what do I call you?"
"Lucas...that would be my name" Lucas laughed
"No, I know what you're name is"
"That's a big improvement, considering you don't know the name of half the other guys you've slept with"
"LUCAS!"
"I'm kidding Brookie" Lucas said playfully nudging her
"I mean...what are we Luke!"
Lucas looked down at his cup, and stirred his coffee which was now cold
"I don't know either Brooke, but don't worry we'll figure it out over time"
"Hey guys!" Haley came in and gave Lucas a hug
Brooke smiled "Thank God you're here Tutorgirl, I'm in desperate need of a break!"
"Sure thing Brooke, I've got this shift handled, you go home and get some rest"
"Thanks Hales"
Brooke laughed as she hung up her apron
"Who knew I'd do so much work in one day"
"Come on Cheery, I'll take you home"
Brooke and Lucas hopped in his truck, and started off towards her house. The drove down Main Street in downtown Tree Hill, the street lights were on, some snow started to fall on the windshield.
"How's your mom?" Brooke questioned, she spoke low, and in a whisper almost afraid to ask him.
"She's doing well; I'm actually going to go see her tonight"
Brooke turned towards Lucas
"Could I go with you?"
Lucas stared into her eyes for a long time, surprised by her question.
"Of course you can" he nodded "I'd like the company"
Instead of taking Brooke home, Lucas turned right onto the freeway, and headed towards Tree Hill Hospital.
The receptionist at the front desk took one look at Lucas with Brooke, and pointed her finger down the hall, "The women's clinic is down the hall"
"Actually, we're here to visit someone, Karen Roe in room 220" Lucas stated
"Oh sorry, um straight up the elevator" the nurse answered
Lucas nodded his head "Thank You"
The ride up the elevator was quiet and still, Brooke stood in the corner, while Lucas watched each floor button light up as they passed it. The silence soon became too uncomfortable, and Brooke had to break it.
"Um...so, thought of any baby names?"
Lucas smiled at her attempt to start a conversation, thought it was a very plausible conversation, and a decision they were going to make very soon. A part of him was glad she asked, that she cared if he had any ideas.
"Um, I've got a few in my head, I like Elizabeth, and Samantha for girls, and Blake and Ryan for boys...just some ideas though"
Brooke nodded her head, and smiled "I like those, do you think it's a boy or a girl?"
"I thought you would know, isn't there some kind of maternal instinct you have that's telling you what it is"
Brooke laughed at his corny attempt at a joke
"No, I don't know what it is either"
The elevator dinged when they reached their floor, and they got off. Lucas picked Brooke's hand in his as they walked towards Karen's room. Just the feeling of his hand in her's sent a shiver down Brooke's spine. She still loved him, and she knew it all along. When they reached Karen's room, Lucas propped the door open, so they could peek in. Karen was sleeping, she looked so fragile and delicate, nothing like the hard-working Karen that Brooke knew at the café.
"I'm going to go check out the gift shop, see if I can find something for her, ill be right back, are you ok here by yourself?" Brooke asked, tightening her grip on Lucas' hand.
"Yeah, I'm ok...go ahead"
Lucas smiled at her as she walked down the hall
"She's so beautiful" he thought to himself
