Mommy, Mommy

Chapter 2

"How could Peyton do this?" Haley asked, looking down at the girl.

"I don't know!" Lucas said, waving his arms in the air.

"She's so cute!" Haley cried, touching her soft cheek.

He smiled. She was.

"Lucas, this isn't going to be so bad. I mean, you have a daughter! A little precious daughter. You can name her, and take care of her."

"How do I do that?"

Haley grinned and threw her arms around her friend's neck. "I can help. And so will Nathan."

"What about my mom? She's going to freak."

"Lucas," Haley said separating herself from him, "You are now 18 years old. You are a big boy. Trust me, I know Karen. She'll be happy."

Lucas nodded.

"Now, I have to go and buy some stuff for her. You should think of names while I'm gone!"

Lucas tossed himself down on a chair and thought of life so far.

His senior year of high school had went well. Peyton had decided to get with him, because Brooke hadn't really minded. Well she had, but she told Peyton she didn't. At the end of senior year, Peyton had mysteriously disappeared. Brooke had told everyone that she had gotten a letter from Peyton, stating that she hated Tree Hill and wanted out.

Nathan, Brooke, Haley, Jake, Tim, and himself had stayed and went to the community college.

Nathan and Haley to stay together, because of their marriage.

Brooke and Tim because their grades weren't so great.

And Jake because of Jenny.

Lucas? He had stayed for the pure love of Tree Hill.

He found himself snap back into reality, back into his small home, which he realized would now be a two person home. For him and….

What would he name her?

He looked through a list of names on the computer. She didn't look like a Shelby, or a Sarah, or a Lindsay, or a Nikki. Definitely not a Nikki. Just then he saw a name that caught his eye. Kaylie.

He looked towards the girl and a smile lit up his face. Kaylie Scott.

He was getting the hang of this dad thing.

Later that night, while trying to sleep, he heard a cry from the crib Haley had purchased for him earlier that day.

Haley had adored the name Kaylie, and had told him so. He thought it was because of the two's similar names.

"I'm coming!" He yelled, a frown on his face.

The girl sobbed harder, and he reached down to get her.

"It's okay. Don't worry."

Kaylie relaxed against his shoulder.

"This just might be as fun as Haley said it would be."

The next day, Kaylie, Haley, and Lucas went shopping.

"Okay, we need the basics. Food, clothes, etc." Haley said, pulling out a list of things.

"Alright, know of any baby stores?"

"Luke, I did my researching."

"Of course you did."

"Let's get some food first at the supermarket."

"Okay."

They found themselves in the supermarket, in the aisle for baby food.

"Let's go for the apple sauce flavor, and the spinach, and, um, the carrot." Haley said, staring clueless, at the food.

"Why don't we just get one of each?"

"That could work."

They made they're way to check out stand.

"Luke?" Lucas heard a voice and turned.

"Brooke? Hi."

"Hey! Who's this?" She asked, wiggling one of Kaylie's toes.

"Kaylie." He said simply.

"Oh she is so adorable. Are you baby-sitting, Mr. Scott?"

"Nope. She's my daughter."

Brooke looked at him, stunned. "From Peyton?"

He nodded.

"Wow. She's so beautiful."

"You aren't angry?"

"Should I be?"

"I thought you hated me."

Brooke grinned. "Not at all. Luke, that was high school."

"Luke! Come on!" Haley called, getting the shopping bags.

"Well, I hope to see you soon, Brooke."

"Definitely. Definitely." The dimples in her face made his heart race. Could he have feelings for Brooke again?

"And good-bye Kaylie." She said, placing a kiss on the young girls head.

Lucas smelled the shampoo she had used earlier that day. Oh God, this was bad.
