Mommy, Mommy
Chapter 4
Lucas paced the hospital room, his fists clenched, his eyes bloodshot.
"Where the hell is the doctor?" He said to no one in particular.
Brooke walked towards him and hugged him tightly. He had needed a hug. He rested his head on her shoulder and wrapped his arms around the small of her back.
"Brooke," He sobbed "She can't die."
"She won't, Luke. I promise you."
At the diner, earlier that day, Karen had told the couple that an ambulance was coming for Kaylie, because she had mysteriously started throwing up chunks and chunks of an unknown substance, and had a fever in a matter of minutes. In most situations, she would have to be airlifted, but because the hospital was only a mile away, and in a crowded area, it would be easier if she was taken by ambulance.
The doctor came out of the waiting room, a smile on his face.
"Is she okay?" Lucas asked.
"She's fine."
Lucas breathed a sigh of relief.
"What happened was from lack of being breast fed, as a small child. I tell mothers and mothers-to-be, that it is so important for the child to get the nutrients, so that it stays healthy. I'm not sure if you know, but Kaylie was also born three months early, which is the cause of her heart murmur."
"Excuse me? Her what?"
"Her heart murmur. It means that every so often, her heart skips a beat, and if she isn't in good condition, it could kill her."
"Peyton's mom had a heart murmur." Whispered Brooke.
"Are you telling me my daughter could at any time just die?"
"No, we can put her on medication to regulate her heart beat. Since it is irregular.."
"Okay, and this will help?"
"For sure."
"Okay, good."
Brooke picked up her cellular phone and dialed Haley's number. Haley and herself had become very close in the last couple of months. "Hales? Yeah, she's okay. Yes, I'm sure. But, she has a heart murmur."
Lucas almost laughed when he heard Haley said "WHAT?!"
He turned to the doctor once more. "Can I see her?"
"Of course."
Lucas found his way to the small room for children in which Kaylie slept.
"Hey angel." He found himself saying to the small figure.
He picked her up, and hugged her. "I love you so much. No one, will ever take you away from me. Ever. I didn't think that I would love you as much as I do. But I do. I do with all my heart. And I hope, that maybe, you will accept Brooke as your mother. And Haley. Because, you don't have a true one. She wanted you, anyone would. Maybe she just, maybe she just, she just didn't want you to grow up on the run. Away from your daddy." He looked at her, to see her eyes wide awake, and he almost felt like crying when he saw that her blonde hair seemed to be getting curly.
Just like Peyton's hair.
Later that day, Brooke and Lucas took Kaylie home.
Over the next few weeks, things happened normally.
Luke house sat with Kaylie and Brooke for Jake.
Kaylie was fine, not at all as sick as before.
Everything was fine.
And today, was a good day. Because Nathan, Haley, and Lucas would now teach Kaylie to play basketball.
Haley held the car seat, which held Kaylie.
Nathan grinned at his niece, who he absolutely adored. "Yes Kaylie, I'm going to kick your daddy's scrawny ass at basketball. Yes, I am. Yes, I am."
"Nate," Lucas called "Stop scaring my kid."
Nathan laughed.
"Whatever man."
The day grew long as Nathan and Lucas played for hours.
But the funny thing was, Kaylie never once got bored.
Surprisingly, she giggled and gurgled every time either Nathan or Lucas would make a shot.
Nathan and Lucas stopped when they were tied, and tired.
"I'll beat you next time, Nate."
"In your dreams."
"Boys!" Haley scolded.
Everyone laughed.
Everything from then on went good.
Three months past, and Kaylie was doing better then ever. Now seven months, she was pretty smart. And beautiful.
Lucas had framed her birth certificate, which Peyton had sent along with Kaylie.
Although it said that the child's name was unknown.
But it said Luke's name.
He was planning on changing that.
It was going to say Kaylie Scott.
Dan even contributed, every now and then coming to visit his growing grand-daughter.
It was on this particular day, however, while Luke was watching TV, that Kaylie did an amazing thing.
He was letting her crawl around, as usual. Making sure she didn't get out of the room.
She found herself by the coffee table.
Right in front of the TV.
She wrapped her hands on the table top, lifted her feet. And stood.
Lucas stared at her in shock.
She giggled, waving her hands in the air, before falling on her cute little ass.
Luke picked her up, and grabbed the phone.
"BROOKE!"
"Luke? What's up?" She was worried.
"Kaylie! Kaylie stood up!"
"What?!"
"Yes! She stood up!"
"Oh my god. I have to tell Haley. Gotta go, bye."
Over the past three months, Lucas and Brooke had an amazing relationship. Everything was great. And Luke found himself in love.
Haley and Nathan were also great.
Everyone was great.
Especially Kaylie. Kaylie was an exceptional child. Smarter then any other. As well as cuter then any other.
Luke was a proud father to her.
And Brooke and Haley, were both, in many ways, proud mothers.

Brooke has a confession.
Haley has a surprise!
Kaylie has a …what?!
Karen and Keith are getting married?!
