Brooke sighed dramatically and looked at Lucas. In her head, she was making a pro and con list, deciding whether or not to tell him. Her head told her that she didn't need to burden him with her problem, but her heart told her that no matter what, Luke was going to be there for her. To her head's dismay, her heart won out.

"Luke, I was so stupid." Brooke said with a cracked voice.

"Brooke, you're not stupid, just tell me what happened." Lucas' voice was laced with concern for the girl that had once stolen his heart.

"I… I'm…pre… preg…nant." Once Brooke finally got it out of her system, she sighed with relief for getting it off her chest, but started to sob as she saw Lucas' face.

After minutes of staring into Brooke's beautiful tear-filled eyes, Lucas finally spoke.

Only one word came out of his mouth- "Whoa."

Brooke laughed through her tears at his reaction. "Yeah." She looked into his eyes and saw them clouded with several emotions- confusion, surprise and mostly- pain.

"Look Luke, I probably shouldn't have come in. I was looking for your mom and I thought that you would be at Dan's, so I totally didn't think that I would have to be dealing with anyone else. Now I feel really stupid." Brooke rambled on.

"BROOKE!" Lucas finally cut her off, knowing that her rambling could go on for hours, if it was not stopped. For the second time that night, he through his arms around her and hugged her tight. She sobbed into his shirt. They stayed like this for about thirty minutes. Brooke heard a song in her head that described the moment exactly, she smiled as she thought about it.

And I don't wanna fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don't want to talk about it
And I don't want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you

Finally, Lucas pulled her away to look at her.

He tried to pick his words delicately, as to not upset Brooke in her current state, but they still came out all rambled. "Is it… Do you know… uhh…? How do I say this?"

Brooke laughed as his face contorted in confusion and frustration. Her tone then changed seriously as she answered the questions he was trying to ask, "Felix is the father, sadly, and I went to the doctor, and it's for sure."

"Oh."

"Yeah."

"What are you going to do?"

"I don't know, that kind of why I came to talk to you mom. I wanted to see if she could help me."

"Yeah. I get that."

For the first time that night, their conversation got very awkward. Lucas' mind was spinning. 'Brooke's pregnant. Felix is the father, not you. Why are you freaking out?' Lucas asked himself.

"Look, Luke. I'm sorry I freaked out. I should probably get going. Uh… Peyton is waiting for me. We're having this whole 'I just found out I'm pregnant yippee… girl's night in.'" Lucas laughed at her description; it was, to say the least, very Brookish.

"Oh. That's good that you have her." Brooke nodded with a smile, "Who else have you told?" He asked quietly.

"Just you and Peyton, actually."

"Oh." Lucas was a little shocked that Brooke would pick him as the second person to tell her huge news to. "Thanks." Lucas said genuinely with a smile.

"Hah." Brooke laughed at his odd politeness, "I should be thanking you, for letting me cry like a baby." Brooke mentally stuck her foot in her mouth at her choice of words, but decided that it didn't really matter, Luke would understand.

"It's was nothing." He smiled at her. "You know that you can call me if you need anything, right Brooke?" Lucas asked shyly. He wasn't exactly sure how to handle this whole "Ex-boyfriend of the pregnant chick" situation he had been thrown into.

"Yeah. Thanks Luke." Brooke smiled shyly. "And if you don't mind, can we…"

"Absolutely." Lucas interrupted her, knowing exactly what she was going to say. "My lips are sealed." Lucas mimicked the action by tracing his finger over his pouty lips.

"Thanks." Brooke got up and started to walk toward the door that she had entered almost an hour earlier. Lucas followed her. She turned back toward him and threw her arms around his neck, once she let go, she kissed his cheek like a little girl, then waved goodbye and left a very shocked, and happy looking Lucas on his doorstep.

Peyton laughed as she heard Brooke talk about her interesting encounter with Lucas.

"P.SAWYER!" Brooke screamed jokingly, "Why is this so funny?"

"Brooke, are you kidding me? How is this not hysterical? I mean not the whole baby thing, but you telling Lucas, especially when he is…" Peyton stopped herself before she would disclose information that Brooke didn't know and definitely didn't need to know.

"Especially when he is what?" Brooke asked.

'Think quick.' Peyton told herself. "Especially when he's your ex, who now just happens to have an awkward new friendship with you. Also, he totally hated Felix, so it's just kind of a weird, awkward, yet terribly funny situation." Peyton said it almost as a question to whether or not Brooke believed her.

"Oh, yeah I guess it is." Brooke said a little suspiciously, but not enough to push the subject further.

"Yeah, so let's go watch some movies, what do you say, B. Davis?" Peyton said in the cheeriest voice she could muster at that moment.

"Yeah." The two girls started watching The Notebook, which had them both in tears, but kept their minds off of any of their other worries. They watched several more movies and indulged in various items of disgusting junk food, and then eventually, they both fell asleep.

The next day, the girls got to school about two hours late, but neither of them was terribly upset about this. Brooke's day was a complete blur to her. She had seen Lucas a couple of times and he had given her concerned smiles and looks, but she just laughed them off. She could not imagine how broody this whole situation was making him. She decided that she needed to see Karen after school, especially since she had a doctor's appointment the next week.

'Ding', the bell rang in Karen's Café, signaling that a new customer had come in. Karen looked up to see a hazel-eyed, petite brunette walk into her humble establishment.

"Brooke! Hey, how are you?" Karen said cheerfully.

"Oh hey Karen. I'm uh… alright, I guess. Do you have break coming up or something?" Brooke asked nervously.

"Oh, yeah I think I could take off for a little while, I do own the place." Karen said with a laugh, and then she looked up at Brooke, who definitely was not in a laughing mood, "What's going on, Brooke? You look kind of torn up." Karen asked with concern.

"Can we just find someplace to talk?" Brooke asked quickly, in the most pleasant voice she could find.

"Oh yeah."

Once the two women were settled in the backroom, Brooke began to breakdown. Karen looked at her with concern in her eyes.

"Brooke, what's going on?"

"I need you advice on something." Brooke said with a sniffle.

"Oh, alright."

"I'm uh… kind of pregnant."

"Oh my." Karen's eyes nearly popped out of her head.

"Yeah," Brooke sighed then looked at Karen's alarmed face. "Don't worry, it's not Lucas' or anything.

"Oh, Okay." Karen said in a slightly cheerier voice. "Are you sure that you're pregnant?"

"Uh, yeah. I went to the doctor and they did some blood work and called me yesterday with the results." Brooke said nervously.

"What about the father? Do you know who's it is?" Karen asked in her nicest voice.

Brooke looked up at her; her eyes glazed over, "Yeah, but he's not exactly in the picture."

"Oh, uh… really. How's that?" Karen asked.

"Well, I don't really want him to be. Felix is the father. He's off at military school. I could call him, but if I have this kid, he is the last person I would want near it."

"I see, well, do you know what you want to do?"

"Not really, I have a doctor's appointment next week; I think that's when they are supposed to tell me all of my options."

"Yes, that would make sense." Karen said in a motherly voice.

"Karen?" Brooke asked in a tearful voice. "How did you know?"

"How did I know what?" Karen replied in confusion.

"That you wanted to keep Lucas. I mean, how did you know it was the right thing for you."

"Oh, Brooke." Karen opened her arms for the brunette to enter. Both women began to sob for a moment, before Karen stepped back and looked at the girl in her arms, and then answered. "I, I just couldn't imagine my future without him. I immediately knew when I found out that I wanted to have this baby, especially after Dan tried to convince me to have an abortion. At first, I kind of wanted to prove to him that I was stronger than that, and that I could take care of this baby. Then the more I thought about it, the more I wanted to be a mother."

"Oh." Brooke said. "I don't know what I want to do. It would be much easier if Felix weren't such an ass and if we were still together, but he is an ass and THANK GOD we aren't still together." Brooke laughed, then looked up at Karen and asked, "Will you come with me? To the doctor, I mean."

Karen looked into Brooke's tearful, yet hopeful hazel eyes, "Absolutely."

Brooke sighed in relief, and then threw her arms around Karen, "Thank you so much!"

The two women remained in their embrace for a moment longer, before Karen had to return to work. Brooke walked out of the café with a weight lifted off of her shoulders. She drove back to her house and was surprised to see that she had a visitor on her front porch.
