Hey, I haven't updated in like seven years, I know. You must all hate me. Ah, well, here's the next chapter. Someone e-mailed me asking, and No, this story is not almost done. There are a bunch of chapters left. Yay! lol. Enjoy.
Mommy, Mommy
Chapter 14
The waiting room was unusually unfriendly to those who waited for their loved ones. The room itself was a dull gray, with a puke-colored pink liner. Lucas looked around at his family and friends.
Nathan, who had already once been in this position, sat quietly, holding Michael in his arms. Haley was out getting coffee, Karen was reading a magazine, and Keith was entertaining Kaylie.
This hospital was somewhat annoying. He, in the past two months, had already been here twice, because of something that had happened to a loved one.
The doctors took forever to even begin to give an update.
Lucas just stared forward, at those two big doors, no color in his face whatsoever. As the doctor exited, he sat up, hopefully.
"Mr. Scott?" The doctor asked, reminding Lucas of the other time they'd been here.
He stood up saying, "That's me."
"I'm Doctor Hayward, Ms. Davis's doctor."
Lucas nodded.
"Ms. Davis's condition is comatose. She still isn't breathing on her own, but she's progressively getting better. The baby, however, did not make it through the fall."
Lucas couldn't here anything else the doctor had said. He fell back into the chair. Haley, who had just entered hearing the news, came towards Lucas, as did Nathan. Seeing the interaction, Haley backed up, letting the two brothers interact.
"It's okay, man. She's okay." Nathan held his sobbing brother. His eyes filled up as well. He'd known Brooke almost his entire life, they'd played together as kids. To have this happen to her was unfair. She didn't deserve it.
Haley sat down as well, putting her head in her hands. Brooke and her were now best friends. They had discussed everything possible about this child, only to find out there was no longer any child. Haley looked at her young son, who was luckily okay. He had survived her accident, why hadn't Brooke's baby?
Karen sat quietly by herself. She looked at Kaylie a few times, though. Everyone had been waiting for this baby. And now what? She knew Brooke would be scarred by this loss. Brooke would blame herself. Brooke would no longer want children, which would kill Lucas. Why had this happened? Why had the Tree Hill residents been cursed with Drama?
Hours later, the room was somewhat the same. However, when the doctor came through the doors again, the group was prepared for whatever he was to say. His eyes narrowed towards Lucas.
"She's awake." He said simply, letting the room allow it to sink in.
Brooke Davis, being the fighter she was, would be okay.
