"Haley… she… she wants a separation, man. I don't know what I will do without her. I mean… this came so out of the blue. I thought things were going great. I guess I was wrong." Nathan said.

"Dude, I am so sorry." Lucas said. He gave his little brother a hug. "Did she say why? Or… when did this happen?"

"A few days ago." Nathan said. "I don't know what I'm gonna do without her Lucas."

"Wow… dude, you're a strong guy, and you'll be fine." Lucas said.

"Lucas… the test is positive… We're pregnant." Brooke cried into his shirt. "What are we gonna do?"

"Come on, Cheery. We've been through so much together. We'll get through this. Baby… you'll be a great mother… and I'll do everything I can to be a great father. I will always be here for you. I love you." Lucas said. He kissed Brooke. He lay with her and they fell asleep. He woke up the next morning. He went to get breakfast and he jotted her note:

BrOoKe,

HeY, BaBy, I wEnT oUt To GeT bReAkFaSt FoR uS. i LoVe YoU. AnD i'Ll Be BaCk SoOn.

LoVE,

LuCaS

Brooke smiled at the way he wrote, capitalizing every other letter. It was cute. She knew he was right. They would get through it. It was how they worked as a couple… there would be a tragedy and then when they came through, the result was so great. They were great as a couple and always would be. They were in love and they both knew they had enough love to give a baby. Their baby. Lucas walked through the door and Brooke hugged him.

"Hey, Cheery." Lucas said.

"Hey, Broody." Brooke said.

"So, how is the mother of my child?" Lucas asked.

"Great… just great. Especially now that you are here. Lucas… you're right… we're going to be great parents." Brooke said.

"Broody, I gained 5 lbs. and I've only been pregnant for two months." Brooke said.

"Cheery, you are beautiful. You're not fat… you are great." Lucas said.

"This kid better be worth it." Brooke said. "I've never been a pound over 114 my whole life until now. Now I am 119 lbs." He kissed her cheek.

"I'm carrying your child and all I get is a peck on the cheek?" Brooke said.

"Is this better?" Lucas said giving her a deep passionate kiss.

"Much…" Brooke said. He laughed.

"I love you, Brooke." Lucas said.

"Stating the obvious here… I love you, too." Brooke said.

"No… I love you more than life itself." Lucas got down on one knee and pulled out a ring box. "Brooke Anna Davis, will you marry me?" He slid the 1 karat ring on her finger.

"Of course. I love you." Brooke said. They kissed passionately. "This is okay with your mom right? I mean… the pregnancy?" Lucas nodded.

"Yeah… your parents know, too." Lucas said.

"What…? What did they say? Did they flip?" Brooke panicked.

"No, actually… they gave us their blessing… but, they're moving, as you know, so…" Lucas started.

"So, they can't make it." Brooke said.

"Yeah… I'm sorry, baby." Lucas said.

"All that matters is that I'm with you. And we are having a baby… I couldn't be happier." Brooke said.

"Me neither." Lucas said. "Can you believe that in about seven months… there is going to be a little baby here? Our baby? We've created something that is going to be a living and breathing soul?"

"It's amazing… isn't it?" Brooke said.

"Really amazing… I just wish I could provide us a more comfortable life." Lucas said.

"Just being here will be enough for both of us… Just... all I need is your love." Brooke said.

"I promise you that as soon as we're out of school…. I will give you and Sophia or Logan a good life. I love you." Lucas said.

"Broody is brooding." Brooke said.

"Sorry, Cheery… I'm just freakin' out a little, ya know?" Lucas said.

"Of course." Brooke said.

"Look, I am really tired. How 'bout we get to bed?" Lucas said. He nodded and they fell asleep.

"Lukey, baby… how much do you love me?" Brooke said. With Brooke five months pregnant… he knew it could cause major damage if he said no to her.

"A lot… what do you need, baby?" Lucas said.

"A jelly, bologna, peanut-butter, water-melon sandwich with tons of gravy on it." Brooke said. He nodded. He gave her a kiss and went down to make it. He saw someone he'd never imagine in the kitchen.

"Hey… Tara, what are you doing here?" Lucas said.

WHO IS TARA?

I need reviews or I won't continue.
