Lucas got Brooke into the ER and the doctors immediately started running tests on her. After about two hours the doctor came into Brooke's room.
"Miss Davis we have some news for you." Dc. Hanley said.
"Oh, well can Lucas come in too?" Brooke asked her.
"Let me just tell you first. I don't know if you already knew this Brooke but you're pregnant." The Doctor said.
"What?" Brooke said breathlessly.
"Did you not have any idea?" Doctor Hanley asked her.
"Well actually I bought a pregnancy test just to check but I mean I don't think what was happening to me was signs of being pregnant." Brooke said.
"Well the neasousness is, however you're passing out and extreme light headedness is not." Doctor Hanley said.
"What do you mean?" Brooke asked her getting worried.
"Your pregnancy is very high risk Brooke."
"Well so what, am I just going to have to lie in bed for nine months?" Brooke asked her moving on from angry and getting more annoyed.
"Why don't you just tell your husband the news, and we'll run some more tests so that I can give you more information."
"Ok fine whatever." Brooke said.
"Alright hold on." Doctor Hanley said and walked out to go get Lucas.
A few minutes later Lucas came into the room and quickly sat down by Brooke.
"Hey honey." Lucas said taking her hand into his.
"Um, Lucas I'm just going to say this. I'm pregnant." Brooke said.
Lucas looked dumbfounded for a few seconds before replying to her.
"Well, I know you may not think this right now but this could actually be really great Brooke." Lucas said.
"Lucas no it's not. I'm just getting back into my job and you're just starting yours. We want to move houses. This is the worst timing." Brooke said.
"Timing doesn't matter. We have a chance to start a family." Lucas said.
"Well there's something else." Brooke said.
"Ok, what?" he asked her.
"The doctor said that this is a high risk pregnancy."
"Ok, what does that mean?" he asked her.
"I don't know Lucas." Brooke said a little bit angrier then she had planned on sounding.
"Ok, Brooke I'm sorry. Hey let's just not worry about it." Lucas said stroking back a piece of her hair.
"Not worry about it? Lucas do you know how much I'm going to suck at being a mother. I can't do it, I'm not ready." Brooke said.
"We can do it together Brooke." Lucas said.
"I don't think we can." Brooke said looking away from Lucas.
Lucas didn't know what to say to that, so he just took in a deep breath and luckily doctor Hanley walked back in to break the awkward silence.
"Hi Brooke, Lucas." She said.
"Hi doctor Hanley." Lucas said.
"Ok, so we've got some more results from the tests and Brooke is definitely pregnant. Now her passing out was a little bit worrisome to me and so we had that checked out and your pregnancy is high risk." Doctor Hanley said.
"Right but what does that mean?" Lucas asked her.
"Well basically it's just a very unstable situation. We will give you some medication to stop the dizziness but the morning sickness will still be there. Now I have to tell you that the chance of a miscarriage is much more elevated with your case Miss Davis then it would be with a normal pregnancy."
"So you're telling me I'm going to go through nine months of crap all to have a miscarriage." Brooke said.
"Brooke." Lucas said under his breath.
"Well no that's not what I'm saying at all. If you keep taking your medication and do things exactly as we tell you then this baby should be healthy when it's born." Doctor Hanley said looking down at her clipboard.
"Is Brooke at any risk here?" Lucas asked the doctor.
"Not if she does what we tell her too, and takes things easy. But with any pregnancy there could be complications involved."
"What about my job?" Brooke asked her "can I go to work still?"
"Yes, you should be able to work full days for awhile and then we'll keep meeting and we'll decide when it's better to just work half days. However you will be at bed rest at some point and I won't want you to be working then."
"When can Brooke go home?' Lucas asked her.
"She should be able to leave later today. We've got to check on a few more things and we'll let you know when it's safe to take her. Do you have any more questions?" she asked them.
Lucas looked to Brooke and then said "no, we're fine."
"Ok, I'll be back soon." Doctor Hanley said and walked out of the room leaving Brooke and Lucas by themselves.
"Brooke?" Lucas called out after a few moments of silence.
"I just want to go home." Brooke said.
"I know, look I know this whole thing is scary but we can have a family." Lucas said.
"You're not the one who's going to be throwing up every day." Brooke said.
"Good point." Lucas said.
"I don't want this baby." Brooke said quietly.
"Brooke, you're not thinking about…"
"I don't know Lucas. All I know is I'm going to be such a sucky mother wouldn't the baby just be better off without me." Brooke said.
"Well your wrong." Lucas said.
"I'm not ready for this Lucas." Brooke said starting to tear up.
"It's ok." Lucas said leaning over and hugging her. Brooke latched onto him and let her tears fall down.
After a couple of hours the doctors lets Lucas take Brooke home. Brooke and Lucas walked up to their apartment, Lucas making sure Brooke was leaning on him just to be safe. When they got to their room Lucas lied Brooke down on the bed.
"Thanks honey." Brooke said.
"Are you hungry?" he asked her.
"Um not really." Brooke said.
"Hey, don't go all anorexic on me because you've got two people to feed now." Lucas said.
"Ok I won't I'm just still feeling sort of queasy." Brooke said.
"Brooke do you know how much you scared me?" Lucas asked her crawling over to the other side of the bed.
"No." Brooke said.
"I wish you hadn't lied to me." Lucas said.
"You get so worried about me on even the littlest things." Brooke said.
"You passed out on the bathroom floor Brooke." Lucas said.
"Ok, but before that none of this was that big of a deal." Brooke said.
"Just promise me that you'll trust me enough to tell me things especially during these next nine months."
"Ok I promise." Brooke said.
"Good." Lucas said scooting over to Brooke and loosely wrapping his arms around her.
"I live you Lucas." Brooke said.
"I love you too cheery." Lucas said.
"I'm not very cheery right now." Brooke said looking up at him.
"You'll always be my cheery." Lucas said.
"Well that's good I guess. You know you'll always be my broody too. And just so you know I'm planning on keeping this baby. I'm just scared." Brooke said.
"That's ok. I'll be there for you through all of this." Lucas said.
"What time is it?" Brooke asked him.
"I think it's around 6:00" Lucas said.
"In the morning?" Brooke asked him.
"Yeah, it was night when I took you into the hospital." Lucas said.
"You should get some sleep, when do you have to be at work?" Brooke asked him.
"Oh I'm not going to work tomorrow." Lucas said.
"No, god see I knew you would do this." Brooke said sitting up.
"What?" he asked her sitting up next to her.
"Every time I say I'm like in pain or something your going to skip work. Lucas you have to keep going to work. Practice is only two and half hours long I'll be fine." Brooke said.
"What if I get that teaching job?" Lucas asked her.
"Well that will only be like one class a day right… look Lucas let's just wait to find out about that. For now just keep going to practice. I mean I'm planning on taking the day off today but tomorrow I'm going back." Brooke said.
"Ok I'll try to sleep." Lucas said "practice doesn't start till four anyways." Lucas said.
"You're going to sleep too right?" Lucas asked her.
"Yeah." Brooke said kissing him quickly before lying down. Lucas lied down beside her and out one hand over her belly.
"There's a life in there Brooke." Lucas said whispered to her.
"That's really creepy Lucas." Brooke said.
"Ok…" Lucas said confused.
"And kind of nice I guess. Sorry I'm still getting used to this whole situation." Brooke said.
"That's alright." Lucas said "I am too."
"I'm so tired right now." Brooke said leaning back into Lucas more.
"Me too." Lucas said slowly drifting off to sleep.
Lucas woke up turned on the other side of the bed. He looked over at Brooke who was curled up on her side. Then he turned back over and looked at the clock. 3:50, holy shit he was going to be so freaking late to practice.
"Crap." Lucas yelled jumping out of bed. Brooke stirred and looked over at Lucas running around the room throwing around clothes trying to find something to wear.
"You ok there broody?" she asked him laughing a little bit.
"What?" he said suddenly stopping "oh, Brooke I'm so sorry I didn't mean to wake you. I'm going to be really late to practice." Lucas said.
"Well I suggest you get going then." Brooke said.
"Ok, are you sure you're going to be ok?" Lucas asked her.
"Yes, and I can always call you. I think I'm going to call Haley or Peyton or even Nathan and see if someone wants to come make me feel less miserable." Brooke said.
Lucas thought about this for a second then realized how late he was "good luck with that. I love you, be careful. Bye." Lucas said kissing her on the cheek and then running out the door.
At the gym the team was sitting around on the bleachers waiting for their coach A.K.A Lucas to show up.
"Dude, where's Coach Scott?" Brian, one of Kevin's followers said.
"Probably off nailing his wife." Kevin said "I would if she was my wife." Kevin said.
"Dude that's so true. She was hot." Brian said.
Lucas walked quickly into the gym, turning all the guys' heads at the sound of the door slam. Lucas looked un put together and his hair was really frazzled and their were dark circles under his eyes. He sort of jogged/walked over to the guys.
"I'm sorry I'm late guys." Lucas said.
"Coach Scott 15 minutes late, slacking on your second day." Kevin said.
"I'm sorry." Lucas said trying to maintain control.
"You up late last night?" Kevin asked him, causing all the other guys to laugh a little bit at what they were thinking about.
"Yeah actually, um my wife passed out and I had to take her to the hospital." Lucas said as much as he didn't want to share his personal life with the guys he felt like he had to just so that their minds didn't wander.
"Oh my god is she ok?" Kevin asked him, obviously "concerned" with Brooke's health.
"She'll be fine Kevin; I'm sure you're happy to hear." Lucas said.
"Coach Scott we're ready to play basketball. We even ran already." Brian lied.
"Oh." Lucas said not believing him. "Well why don't you run a couple more laps."
"Can't we just play what we signed up to play?" Kevin asked him.
"Why don't you just do what I tell you to do?" Lucas said sternly.
"Alright ok." Kevin said smiling "Come on guy's coach Scott says he wants us to run, let's run." Kevin said hopping off the bleachers and starting to run. Once Brian caught up to him he said "god I feel so bad for his wife. Coach Scott is such a jackass." Kevin said.
"I bet his wife's a slut." Brian said.
"I wonder if she's slutty enough to get with me." Kevin said
"Dude I love the way your mind works." Brian said.
"Alright shut up, we wouldn't want Coach Scott to hear us." Kevin said slightly smiling
as they ran by Lucas. Lucas shook his head; this was going to be a long coaching job.
While the guys were running the principal of the school came in and walked over to Lucas.
"Mr. Scott I'm pleased to tell you that you have got the job for assistant English teacher."
"I got it?" Lucas asked him.
"Yes, you start tomorrow. It's from 10-11 in the morning."
"Oh, um ok… well… you know what never mind I'll be there." Lucas said.
"Good, just come by my office a few minutes before I'll show you where the room is and you can meet the teacher." The principal said.
"Ok, thanks." Lucas said.
"Keep up to good work here." The principal said.
"I will." Lucas said however he could hardly refer to it as good work. The principal walked out of the gym and Lucas blew his whistle.
"Alright everyone grab a ball and start taking shots." Lucas said.
Haley came over a little while after Lucas had left the apartment. Brooke had changed into her last and only pair of juicy pants which she soon wouldn't be able to fit into.
"Haley!" Brooke said excitedly hugging her best friend.
"Hey!" Haley said, they hadn't seen each other since the wedding.
"I feel like I haven't seen you in forever." Brooke said.
"That's because you haven't."
"I called Peyton but she couldn't come to busy at work or whatever." Brooke said sitting down on the couch in the living room, Haley following behind her.
"So how are things with you and Nathan and mini Scott?" Brooke asked her. Haley and Nathan had gotten married a couple years ago and had a baby boy that was now a year old.
"Oh, we're good. Nathan's busy with basketball practice, his teammates come over like every night to eat out food, and they're surprisingly sentimental towards little Zack or mini Scott as you like to call him." Haley said.
"Ok, Haley I have some really major news to tell you. Like totally scary." Brooke said.
"What?" Haley asked her leaning forward out of interest.
"I'm pregnant." Brooke said.
"Oh my god, Brooke congratulations." Haley said hugging her but Brooke didn't hug back.
"You're not excited are you?" Haley asked her.
"Lucas refuses to believe this, but Haley you know me. I'm not mom material. I'm just not." Brooke said.
"You can be Brooke. IF you love your baby it's surprisingly easy to become mom material." Haley said.
"I'm just not ready for all of this." Brooke said.
"Well do you not want this baby?" Haley asked her.
"I'm not going to lie I'd rather not have a baby right now, but I have to have it." Brooke said.
"Well I agree with you. Zach is one the best things that's ever happened to me, well besides Nathan but you know he's just amazing." Haley said.
"It's a high risk pregnancy. There's a higher chance of miscarrying." Brooke said.
"Just do everything the doctor tells you to do." Haley said.
"I just hope it all works out, I guess." Brooke said.
"Yeah, you know…" Haley was about to say something when her cell phone rang.
"Hold on." Haley said answering her phone. Brooke sat back and stared around the apartment until Haley hung up.
"Nathan?" Brooke asked her.
"No, um my work. We just found a new girl to take into out shelter." Haley said.
"How old is she?" Brooke asked her.
"Um 11 or 12 I think her name's Carmen."
