Brooke looked up at the ceiling, not wanting to get out of bed. She never wanted to get out of bed these days because it meant that she couldn't be next to Lucas. She loved the feeling of security that she felt when she was lying next to him. She closed her eyes and tried to pretend that she was asleep.

Lucas opened his eyes and for a second did a double take. Every morning he did this because sometimes he still couldn't believe that he was married to Brooke. He still could hardly believe that she had taken him back after the Payton incident. After he realized that he really did have the life that he had dreamed of ever since he and Brooke had gotten together, the went about his usual morning routine. He opened his eyes and roll over to wake up Brooke. He hopped that she would be a little easier to wake up today.

"Brooke Baby," Lucas said, almost yawning. Brooke responded with her usual Mmmmm". Lucas knew by that sound that she either wanted him to stay in bed with her, or was sleeping. He decided to entice her. "Ok. I guess than we'll just go back to sleep. Today is only one and a half months until your due date, but I guess that it's not important. Goodnight." Lucas kissed her forehead and rolled over.

"LUCAS!" Brooke screamed as she hit him over the head with a pillow.

"Just joking," Lucas said, as he rubbed his head. "I'm not that stupid as to mess with a pregnant woman and her shopping." Lucas said getting out of bed and heading toward the bathroom.

"Good," Brooke said following him. "Because you promised me that today we could go baby shopping, since no one can come to the shower."

"Yeah, why is that exactly?" Lucas said, while brushing his teeth.

"Well," Said Brooke as she came out of the closet dressed in her usual attire lately, which consisted of Juicy Couture sweats and a tank top. "You're mom is all consumed with Andy, I think that he's going to propose soon, and Haley, Payton, and Ashley are busy babysitting for Jenny while Jake and Nathan are getting ready for the baby. " Brooke said and saw a look of sadness across Lucas's face. "Aww," Brooke said pinching Lucas's cheeks. " Is the little baby afraid that he's missing all of the fun."

"No!" Lucas said pouting. "They're probably out drinking anyway. I still think that Nathan is going to drop the baby the first time he holds it." Brooke started to laugh, and ended up snorting at the same time.

Lucas walked down the stairs and sat at the island, eating his cereal and reading the sports page. "Hey, I just need to eat, and then we can go." Brooke said, making herself a bowl of oatmeal. "You ready?" She said, walking and eating at the same time.

"If you mean do I have the credit cards, than yes I'm ready. You know, that after today, this is totally real. Like, we're going to have little clothes, and a crib, and everything, all we need is the baby."

"You're totally hyped, right." Brooke asked. Luke nodded. "Me too! Come on, let's go before I change my mind and decide to order everything off line."

Brooke and Lucas jumped into the old Keith body shop truck and headed to the mall. "Luke?" Brooke said, touching her stomach. "I don't think there's enough room in here for a baby."

"Brooke, I love this truck. I really don't want to have to give it up."

Brooke quickly dropped the subject. Her face lit up when she first saw the store. Lucas had told her that today was baby day. She could buy what she wanted, with no price limit. Felix had made life a whole lot easier for them, they didn't have to worry about starting a college fund for their daughter, or about having to work to support her. That meant that they could continue to go to school so that they could be successful later in life.

"Hello, and welcome to Beillini. I'm Kara."

"Hi, I'm Lucas, and this is Brooke. I've made arrangements to work with a personal shopper." Kara nodded and told them to follow her.

"Hi, you must be Lucas. We spoke on the phone. I'm Lisa; I'll be your personal shopper. You must be Brooke."

"What gave it away?" Brooke said, in a bitchy tone. "I'm sorry, hormones."

"That's ok, I'm used to it. Should we start?"

Brooke followed Lisa towards the crib section. Brooke had decided on an iron crib with crowns on it. Sydni was going to be a princess, being Brooke's daughter, how could she not be? Brooke decided on a pink patch work quilt. It had every color of pink known to man on it.

"Shall, we move onto gliders?"

Brooke chose a light pink glider with a brown trim. It didn't look like a normal rocking chair, Brooke decided that she thought that they looked to old womanish, and they really weren't comfortable. It was an arm chair that glided back and fourth. The minute that Brooke sat in the chair, Lucas knew that he was going to have a very hard time getting her up! Brooke eventually fell asleep, leaving Lucas to pick out the armoire and changing table.

After Brooke woke up, she decided on picking out some decorations for Sydni's princess room. She found letter's to spell out Sydni's name on her wall. She was so proud of Lucas for picking out a dresser that she would have chosen herself. She picked out the matching book shelf and decided on painting the nursery a chocolate brown color. Very romantic, Brooke felt. Brooke was exhausted, so she sat down and soon fell asleep. Lucas needed to wake her up, and he had a really good idea of how to do so.

"Brooke, let's go to another store." As soon as Brooke heard Lucas whisper this into her ear, her eyes popped open and she almost flew out of the chair. She was pretty speedy seeing as she was seven and a half months pregnant. "Coming!"

She hopped, well as best she could, into the car and told the chauffeur, a.k.a. Lucas, that their next stop was to get a car seat and a stroller. Lucas said he knew a great place and before Brooke could blink they were at Baby's R' Us. Brooke couldn't decide between the Preg Perro pram stroller and car seat or the Graco shopping stroller and car seat. Brooke left the decision up to Lucas.

"Whichever one you want Lucas, I can't decide. You should do it." Brooke said, leaning against the wall.

"Brooke," Lucas said, scratching his head in a very Lucas way. "I'm not very good with these kinds of things. I really don't…" Lucas had no time to finish what he was saying because Brooke interrupted him.

"Lucas really, I don't give a shit. I could care less. Just pick so we can go pick out clothes! I really want to sit down!" Brooke was almost in tears.

"Uhhhhhh, I don't know, why don't we get both. I mean, we can always use two strollers and car seats."

"Why, we only have one car that the baby can ride in, the convertible." Brooke was really confused now.

"I know that, but I'm sure that my mom's goanna want to take her places too." Lucas walked up to Brooke and kissed her. Come-on, let's go to your favorite place in the world."

Brooke's face light up. "You mean,"

"Yup. Neiman Marcus!" Lucas said as he told the guy what they were going to take.

Brooke was in heaven at Neiman's. Brooke's princess would settle for nothing less than the best. Brooke however, knew a few things from the money incident with her parents. She went to Neiman's and picked out a few outfits and bought them. She picked a little pale green dress with pink flowers and matching white patent leather shoes with little pink flowers. She also decided on a little Ralph Lauren Dress with matching bloomers.

After she had seen some things that she loved at Neiman's, she decided to drag Lucas to Loehmans, men's shopping hell. She had become so savvy lately. She would pick outfits at department stores and would by them for discounted prices. She got about 10 Juicy Couture baby sweats like she had. She loved it when she saw baby girls dressed just like their mothers. She even found a baby bikini.

"Oh my God Lucas, look at this." Brooke ran toward him showing her prized find. "I have one just like it!"

One look at Lucas and you would have thought that he had seen a ghost! He looked pale and like he was going to faint. "Brooke, my baby is not going to be the hot one in her play group, even though she will have her mother's genes." He said kissing her playfully.

"Oh no you are not going to try and make me forgive you. Why can't she wear it." Brooke was beginning to pout.

"Because, she's a baby!"

Brooke whipped out the puppy dog face and Lucas caved in. "Look who has become the overprotective daddy!" Brooke said kissing Lucas back. Come-on, lets go.

Then they were onto Brooke's favorite store, E-Street, well E-Street Kids to be exact. Brooke stocked up on baby sized 7 jeans, Michael Stars tees, and a little citizens of humanity jean jacket. Brooke and Sydni were going to be matching all the time, so basically, anything Brooke had that came in baby sizes, so did Sydni.

They went to the mall where they hit up Nordstrom, Oililly, and Baby Gap. When they left they had about 25 sleepers, 20 onezies, and 15 dresses, 10 sweats with 10 matching hoddies, and about 5 pairs of jeans and 20 tees. "Lucas, how much do you think we spent today?" Brooke asked, closing her eyes as she sat in the car while Lucas loaded all of the clothes.

"Well," Lucas said "I think on clothes, at least 3,000. The crib was 2,025, the mosses basket was 258, the armoire was 367, the book shelf was 223, the letters for the wall were 156, the bedding was 865, and the strollers were 300.00 and 250.00 a piece." Lucas's jaw dropped when he finally realized the total amount they had spent in one day.

"Lucas," Brooke said, almost staring into space "That's like, almost 10,000 dollars!"

Lucas just smiled knowing that unlike what Brooke thought, the day wasn't over.

"Lucas, I'm so ready to crash." Brooke said with her eyes closed as they drove home from the mall. Lucas had one more surprise up his sleeve. "Lucas" Brooke whined as she did not get an answer, "Lucas, where are we? I just want to go to bed."

Lucas just laughed, and answered her with what he knew was going to just drive her even crazier. "You'll see."

Brooke was pouting and when she opened her eyes she was surprised to find that Lucas was pulling into the lot of Scott motors. "Are we here to see Keith?" Brooke said, yawning and stretching as they pulled into the parking lot and parked the car.

"Surprise!" Lucas shouted as the pulled up to a new Land Rover LR3.

Brooke had the biggest smile on her face as they turned off the car and opened the doors. "Lucas, is this for me? Is this my car?"

"Nope." Brooke's smiled drooped into a frown.

"Oh"

"It's mine." Lucas saw Brooke's smile return to her face.

"Lucas, you really are getting rid of the truck? For me?"

"No I'm doing it for Sydni. You're right, the truck isn't safe." Lucas had the biggest smile on his face because he knew what was next to the Land Rover was going to make Brooke scream. "This is your car."

As Lucas took Brooke's hand she almost fainted when she saw the black Cadillac Escalade ESV. Brooke screamed on the top of her lungs. "Oh my God LUCAS! I love it! I can't believe this, this is my dream car!" Brooke was in tears as Lucas opened the driver's side door. As he opened the door, a running board came out making it easier for her to get into the car.

"Here you go," Lucas said smiling seeing how happy he had made her. "Watch this" When Lucas closed the door, not only did the running board disappear, but the seat, and mirrors went to the exact right position for Brooke. The navigation system came on greeting her. "Hello Brooke. Where are we going today?" "You can turn the voice off." Lucas said getting into the passenger seat.

"Lucas, this has been the best day ever!" Brooke was still checking things out. Keith had even put in a DVD player with 2 screens one in the back row and one in the middle. Sitting in the middle seat was one of the car seats that Brooke and Lucas had picked out earlier in the day.

"See, I told you we could always use two car seats." Lucas said. "The other one's in the Rover."

"I'm so happy. Can we go home now, I'm exhausted." Yeah, I'll drive; Keith is taking the Rover to our house. Let's go home".

When they got back to the house, Brooke walked into Sydni's nursery and placed her hands on her belly. Hey baby. Well this is your room. Your daddy and I can't wait until you get here. Well, actually, I'm a little scared. See, I never really had a good mother when I was growing up. Basically, my parents thought that their job was to be a human ATM. I was raised by babysitters and nannies. I promise you Sydni, I'll always be there for you, no matter what the situation, I'll always be here, and so will your daddy.

Lucas went to walk into the room. He saw that Brooke was standing there with her hands on her belly and crying. He quietly walked into the room and sat there for a few minutes watching her. These were the last months when it was going to be just him and Brooke. He knew that they were ready but they were only 17, how were they going to be good parents. Lucas walked up behind Brooke and placed his hands over hers. Brooke turned around and smiled at Lucas.

"Hey baby." He said kissing Brooke.

"Luke, I love you, you know that right?" Brooke said wiping her eyes.

"I love you so much Brooke. Just think, in 6 weeks, we're going to be standing here with our daughter."

"Um, Lucas, I think that it maybe sooner than that." Brooke said as she looked down and then up into Lucas's piercing blue eyes. "I think my water just broke."
