Chapter 7

It was Chris. She hadn't known why she didn't know that before, its not like he looked like Nathan from behind… Suddenly Brooke felt her head start to spin.

"Luc.." She started to call for him and tried to grab him but she fell.

"Brooke!" Lucas yelled, he hadn't seen her fall in time to catch her. He kneeled down beside her. He felt for her pulse.

Haley came and knelt beside her, placing Kaelyn on the floor beside her and Chris just stood there watching.

"Someone call 911!" Lucas yelled, tears coming to his eyes. The guy behind the desk yelled to him he was on the phone with him and they would be there momentarily.

Lucas pulled Brooke into his arms, trying to get her to wake up. Haley looked at Luke and he looked at her. "It'll be ok Luke don't worry the ambulance is on their way here." She told him softly trying to remain calm.

Kaelyn started to cry and Haley picked her up. "Shh its ok baby." She rocked her while watching Luke. "Is she breathing?" She asked him.

"Yea." Luke said wiping away a tear that had fallen on his cheek.

They both looked up towards the doors when they came flying open, unaware of the people surrounding them in the lobby. The paramedics came rushing in and ran over to them.

They started asking Luke a lot of questions and doing things to Brooke that Haley didn't know why. "Is she going to be ok?" Haley asked them, tears forming in her own eyes as she was getting worried herself too.

One of the guys looked over at Haley. "We don't know. She is stable right now but they will need to run tests on her at the hospital." He spoke to both Lucas and Haley. They nodded.

"Can I go with her?" Lucas asked.

"Are you related to her?" Another one of the guys asked and Lucas looked down at Brooke.

He didn't think they would let him go with her if he told them he was just her boyfriend.

"She's my fiancée." He lied, and the guy nodded.

"Yea you can go."

They picked Brooke up on a stretcher and went to load her in the ambulance. Lucas followed.

"Luke I'll be at the hospital as soon as I can I'll take my car!" Haley yelled right before he left. She saw Luke look back at her and nod and then left.

Kaelyn was crying now. "Baby its ok." Haley told her daughter, knowing she was probably freaked out because she had no clue what was going on.

"Haley you can't take her to the hospital." Chris said going to help her stand up.

"Your right." She muttered looking at Chris then down to Kaelyn. She kept crying and Haley felt like crying herself she didn't know what to do she had to get to the hospital though.

"Let me watch her, ok?" Chris told her and Haley nodded, knowing she had no other choice right now. "Her stuffs in her room and you know here her…"

"I know Hales just go." Chris gave her a comforting smile and took Kaelyn from her. Once he had her she shut up and looked up at him.

"See she'll be fine with me we'll go and have fun…" Chris said and Haley hesitated only for a second. She reached into her purse and pulled out her key and handed it to Chris. He pulled her to him and gave her a quick friendly hug.

"It'll be ok. Brooke will be fine." He whispered while he was holding her, he knew she needed to hear that. But he didn't know if she would be or not.

"Yea." She said, pulling away from Chris and then rushing out to find where she parked her car.

Chris smiled down at the infant in his arms. "It's just me and you kid."

Haley drove to the hospital as quickly as she could, trying to keep tears from coming to her eyes. But somewhere in her she knew Brooke would be fine. She just couldn't help but be worried about her. She thought about something she had heard Lucas say to the paramedics.

Were Brooke and Lucas engaged?

There was a good chance maybe they were. She knew Lucas loved her and he wanted to marry her someday. But would he really propose to her this young? Sure she knew Nathan had to her, but now she wasn't sure her marriage was going to work out.

She didn't want her two friends to get hurt.

Then again, if she really thought about it, everything had been good between her and Nathan before she had left. She had to though; she couldn't let her dream slip away from her when she'd had that one chance to pursue it. And she didn't know why Nathan made such a fuss about it.

But then she thought about how selfish she had been thinking about only herself and not her husband, and her child. She had known she was pregnant before she had left and had told Nathan, he seemed happy about it though even though they were so young.

She thought about the times before she was pregnant and her and Nathan were so happy, even he and Brooke seemed to be getting along. Which she was happy for because Brooke and her were starting to become better friends and it was good since she's Luke's girlfriend.

"Shit!" Haley yelled and slammed on her brakes. She came inches from the vehicle in front of her and cussed herself out for being so careless, she started to pay more attention to her driving and realized she was almost to the hospital.

Once she had found a parking space she got up and ran in through the emergency room doors and went to find somebody who could help her.

Somebody had finally agreed to help her and went to look up Brooke's room number while she followed them and waited. She looked around the place; it hadn't changed one bit from when she had been there only a short while ago.

Haley was lying in a hospital bed, her hands were on her stomach and her forehead was sweaty. She couldn't believe how big she had gotten these last few months.

"Haley come on just a few more pushes." The female doctor looked up at her from between her legs. "I can already see the head."

Haley screamed and had tears running down her eyes. She hadn't been able to have an epidural because by the time she had gotten to the hospital she had almost been ready to push.

"AHHH!" Haley yelled, she really wished she had somebody with her here now.

"Come on Haley." The doctor said remaining calm. "Your almost there!"

"No! I can't do this now! I don't want to anymore please… just make it go away…" Haley cried but pushing like the doctor told her too.

Within another minute baby Kaelyn was born.

"It's a girl!" The doctor told her smiling, standing up and handing the baby to the waiting nurses.

Kaelyn was screaming and Haley had tears of joy falling down her cheeks. She couldn't believe she had just done that. Her baby was here. She was really here.

After the nurses had weighed her and cleaned her up and the doctor and cleaned Haley up they handed Haley her baby.

"Hi sweetie." Haley said smiling and kissing her daughters forehead. Kaelyn opened her eyes to look at her. Haley knew from that moment she would love her no matter what happened. And she would take care of her and do her best to provide for her.

Lucas sat by Brooke's hospital bed, holding her hand. He gently brushed the hair out of her face and kissed her forehead.

The doctor had told him she would be fine, that she had just passed out from too much stress. But what would Brooke be stressing about? He knew she hadn't wanted to come but he didn't think that it would affect her this much.

He would have to ask her when she got up they needed to talk. But they doctor had told him she might not wake up for a while. Brooke had an IV in her arm and she just looked like she normally did when she was sleeping, but she didn't that cute smile on her face…

Lucas sighed and put his free hand on his forehead, he'd been scared when his girlfriend had fainted, what if something had been seriously wrong with her? What would he do without her? He would talk to Haley later and ask her if he was making the right decision, one he had made not too long ago.

Haley had finally got up to Brooke's room and went and sat in a chair that was against the wall behind Lucas. She knew that he noticed she'd came in, he just hadn't said anything.

"Is she going to be ok?" Haley asked him softly, with a worried look on her face. She looked Brooke over and saw she didn't look like anything was wrong.

"Yea." Lucas muttered not looking away from Brooke.

"What's wrong with her."

"They said it was stress related." Lucas told her. He wasn't sure he believed that though, the more he thought about it the more it bothered him because she shouldn't have been stressed out…

"Oh."

"So Hales. You have some explaining to do." Lucas sighed getting up and turning his chair so he could see both Brooke and Haley and still hold Brooke's hand.

"I know." Haley said quietly, she looked down at her feet, she didn't really want to talk about it right now, but now was as good a time as ever and she knew he would make her tell him anyways.

Lucas just looked at her, waiting for her to start what he was sure was a good story, or at least it better be considering from what she had told them earlier she had a baby, and she was still really young.

Haley looked back up at her best friend, wondering how things had gotten like they were, of course she knew she just couldn't understand why all of it had happened like it had or why it had to happen in the first place.

She didn't know where to start though there was so much…

"Hales…" Lucas said, urging her on.

"Is she Nathan's?" He asked, he had to know that at least.

"Lucas!" Haley looked him straight in the eyes, her face scrunched up. "Of course she is."

"Why'd you leave then?"

"I…" Haley stopped talking when they both heard somebody come in they looked to see who it was.

Brooke opened her eyes and she saw him. He looked at her and he held her gaze, but he didn't come in just yet. She thought she was imagining things, was it really him?
