YAY! Chapter 36! So the new OTH seriously put me into the writing mood… how FABULOUS was that episode? Seriously… WOW! I looooooved it! Anyway… Chapter 36! Enjoy! Please Review!

"This has to be some kind of a record" Dan laughed shaking his head. He sounded nervous… something Brooke had never heard in Dan Scott's voice and it was making her nervous.

"What? The pain I am in or the traffic?"

"Traffic…"

"Oh…ok… I'm good… this one stopped" Brooke sighed throwing her head back against the seat. This was a lot more painful that she remembered it being… and it was happening a lot faster than last time too.

"Are you timing these?"

"Am I supposed to be?"

"You're asking me?" Dan asked sounding panicked. This wasn't helping Brooke at all! He wasn't supposed to be asking her these kind of questions! She didn't know what she was doing other than trying not to kill someone.

"I've never done this! Well except for the first time and that doesn't count…"

"Are you crying?" Dan laughed hearing Brooke's voice get raspy and seeing the tears start to flow. He wasn't sure if she was crying in pain or because she was scared.

"You'd be crying too! It hurts… I just want my husband"

"No answer?"

"He's playing at the river court with the guys… he probably cant hear his phone" Brooke cried wiping the tears off her cheek. Why was it that it always happened like this? Why couldn't things just happen normal? With Lucas there to comfort her…

"How long do we have?"

"I don't know! We're been sitting here for what? Like an hour?"

"An hour and 15 minutes" Dan said looking at the clock. Brooke didn't know if that was bad or not… she didn't know how long this was supposed to last.

"Great… ow… not again… make it stop… I'll do anything… seriously… just shoot me… you're Dan Scott I know you have a gun in here somewhere…"

"Try Lucas again"

"I can't move… it hurts too much" Brooke whined rolling her eyes at Dan. She thought it might make her feel better to punch him or something but she wasn't sure she could.

"Fine… then I'll do it, women are so whiney"

"When I can move and breathe again I am so kill-ow… killing you" Brooke whispered as Dan hit the speed dial on her phone.

"Ello?"

"Who is this?"

"Chloë Caela Scott" Chloë said on the other end of the phone.

"I think he's cheating on you with some girl named Chloë"

"Give me the damn phone… Chloë baby its mommy… take the phone to daddy" Brooke said trying to sound as normal as possible so she didn't scare Chloë. But it wasn't easy…

"Mommy!"

"I talk!" Brooke heard Allie shriek

"Nowa…"

"My turn!"

"My phone!" Chloë cried and then it sounded like the phone slammed down… probably hitting something hard.

"Allie… Chloë! Give daddy the phone! Please… please give daddy the phone"

"Buh bye"

"Great… my own daughters just hung up on me… perfect. Ok… my grandma drives faster than this" Brooke yelled seeing other cars passing Dan.

"I'm going 80"

"Sure you are… and I know you want me to have a baby in this BMW too"

"We could go 90" Dan sighed hitting the gas. He didn't know what to do. He hadn't been there when Lucas or Nathan were born…

"Lets do that how bout it… I don't feel like making the news today…"

Lucas made one last attempt to corner Fergie, Skillz, and Junk before he totally lost his ass. It was pointless… 3 on 1 really wasn't fair even if he was a professional basketball player. It was good to play with them again… a little weird with Allie and Chloë cheering for him in diapers… instead of Brooke in a short skirt and thong… but good all the same. After loosing 10-8 for the 2nd time in a row and seeing Chloë and Allie getting restless with their pom poms Lucas decided it was probably time to call it quits… it was almost lunch time and Brooke would be calling any minute to tell them where to meet her.

"Hey girls" Lucas said sitting down on the picnic table next to Allie and Chloë

"Look!"

"I see… what's that?"

"A bug" Allie giggled

"Don't tell mommy you touched that thing… she might have a heart attack"

"Here"

"My phone… thank you, call anyone good?" Lucas asked looking down at his poor dented scratched phone. It looked like they had put it through a shredder or something…

"Barbie!"

"Did you… ok then, that will teach me to lock the phone before letting you play with it anymore… let's call mommy, you guys wanna talk to her?"

"I did" Chloë said excitedly

"Yeahya"

"When?"

"On na phone" Allie pointed while Lucas dialed Brooke's cell number. He didn't even know Allie and Chloë knew how to answer a phone…which wasn't good.

"Hello?"

"Who is this?"

"Luke… I am your father" Dan whispered into the phone.

"Dan? What the hell are you doing with Brooke's phone?"

"Well talking to me like that isn't going to get you any information"

"Give me the damn phone…" Brooke yelled from the passenger seat snatching the phone from Dan.

"Brooke?"

"You are so getting fixed after I have this kid! Are you listening? I'm not kidding… I'll do it myself… snip snip"

"Brooke what's going on?" Lucas asked but he pretty much already knew from the tone in her voice.

"Your little monster child wants out apparently… oww"

"Where are you?"

"In the car with Sir drives too slow here! Ok… better… Luke… I don't know what to do!" Brooke cried going from mad to upset in a matter of seconds. She sounded so helpless… most people seemed to know what to do when they were in labor but not Brooke, when it came to this sort of thing she was clueless! He knew more about it then she did and that's what worried him.

"How far are you from the hospital?"

"Like 5 minutes…"

"I'll meet you there… just hold your legs together or something?" Lucas said until he realized Brooke was going to probably take it seriously. But he didn't know what else to tell her…

"Does that work?"

"I don't know… I'll be there soon"

"Luke… you ok?" Fergie asked. When Lucas hung up the phone they were all standing around staring.

"Hey… you guys think you can watch the girls for a few hours? Brooke's in labor and"

"Sure man… we'll take them to Chucky Cheese or something"

"Just don't loose them… please? Brooke is already ready to kill me as it is…" Lucas sighed scratching his head. He wasn't sure if he should leave them or not. They were probably going to cry since they didn't really know the guys… not to mention Brooke would probably kill him if he didn't bring them with him… but he didn't know what else to do.

"Don't worry"

"Girls… I'm going to go with Mommy… you're going to stay here with the guys ok?"

"I go too…" Allie whined. Lucas could already see their eyes swelling from tears. It had taken him 10 minutes to get them to stop crying for Brooke after she had left for work… Fergie and the guys would never get them happy if he left them.

"Me too"

"Isn't Brooke going to want to see them?"

"I don't know! Yea… probably" Lucas said deciding to be calm and rational. Usually he was good in a crisis… although this wasn't really a crisis… he didn't know what it was or what he was supposed to do or say… he just knew he had to go.

"Why don't we just follow you and that way we're there to watch them when you need us?"

"Good idea… ok we've gotta go"

Finally after getting caught by every stoplight in Tree Hill Dan and Brooke made it to the hospital. Of course Dan being the ass he was park what seemed like 10 miles from the ER and made her walk the whole way there… that couldn't be good. On all the TV shows Brooke had ever seen with them having babies the doctors always made them walk when they needed to have the baby faster…

"I can't walk this far" Brooke whined somehow managing to slowly make it up to the emergency entrance.

"There was no where else to park"

"Under the ER thing! Where normal people park!" Brooke yelled. She wanted more than anything to hurt Dan Scott right now…

"They might have scratched my car"

"Like you couldn't get another one…you do realize Lucas is going to kill you if we don't make it"

"I'm shaking in my boots" Dan laughed rolling his eyes at Brooke who was barely walking at this point.

"I may kill you before we make it!"

"We're almost there"

"Thank god…I want drugs… really good drugs..." Brooke smiled. The thought of drugs was what was keeping her going. Pain relief in its best form.

"Deb can hook you up I'm sure"

"Oh thank god… Lucas" Brooke cried seeing Lucas running towards them. Never had she been more happy to see him in her life.

"Hey… you ok?" Lucas asked forcing her arm around him so he could help her walk.

"No… it hurts and I want this thing out of me, drugs, sleep and oww"

"Mommy!" Both Allie and Chloë shrieked running towards Brooke once they made it inside the ER.

"There are my babies… my babies that didn't cause me pain… I was scared you weren't going to bring them"

"Here… sit, I'm going to go check you in" Lucas said giving her a quick kiss on the forehead before going to the counter. He was trying his best to stay calm and not freak her out anymore than she already was.

"K… hey babies… are you ready to see your brother?"

"He come out!" Allie squealed excitedly looking around as if he were somewhere near them.

"Not yet…"

"Come out!"

"Mrs. Scott… are you ready?" A nurse asked pulling over a wheel chair followed by Lucas

"For drugs? Yes… so ready"

"Ok… they're going to have to stay in the waiting room until we get you settled"

"Dan… don't even think about touching my children! Girls come here! Kisses! I love you guys sooo much Ok?"

Brooke stared down at the floor as the wheeled her to her room. Poor Lucas was nervously babbling about something she wasn't paying attention too… he didn't do well in hospitals in general… but having to be here for this was overwhelming the poor guy. Surprisingly enough though seeing Lucas like that calmed her…it was funny and it took her mind off of everything else… except the pain. The room was close so they got there fast… it was you're average room… not as nice as the one she had been in when she had the girls but as long as it had a bed, drugs and a pillow she was totally fine with anything.

"Wow… 9 centimeters" The nurse smiled from the foot of the bed. Brooke didn't understand while she was smiling… how anyone could smile when someone else was in as much pain as she was in. it was just plain wrong.

"That was fast…" Lucas said nervously.

"The second time always happens a lot faster… looks like you had a C-section before but it looks like you can do this totally natural…"

"You mean the hard way?"

"I mean the way with no scar" The nurse laughed. Brooke didn't find it at all funny.

"Ok then… lets get this show on the road, I want drugs"

"Sorry sweetie you're 9 centimeters"

"Don't sorry sweetie me! Pump the damn drugs… It hurts! Lucas! Make her…" Brooke whined burying her face in Lucas's chest. Poor guy was being so quiet… so high school Lucas. The comforting quiet, Brooding guy who could fix everything with a kiss.

"She's almost there… by the time we get the doctor here, you prepped for the epidural and actually start… you'll probably already be holding your baby"

"You mean I have to do this lucent? Lucas…I don't want too! I'll hold my legs together… I'll do anything… It's going to hurt"

"You can't just give her the drugs… for my hands sake?" Lucas asked pointing to his hand that Brooke was squeezing for sear life.

"You're lucky you have a tiny wife… we've had women break their husbands hands before"

"Good to know… just think happy thoughts babe" Lucas smiled kissing Brooke's hand.

"Happy… right… happy… hot tub, whipped crème… no! no! Damn it that's why I am in this situation in the first place! We aren't ever having sex again! EVER… I'll hire you a damn hooker and you can sleep with her if you want sex"

"Happy thoughts…" Lucas laughed… he couldn't help it, Brooke was always funny when she was in pain, funny and mean as hell to everyone.

"Right sorry…umm beer… I can drink after this! Get totally drunk off my ass and pass out! Wait… drinking usually leads to sex for us"

"Anything usually leads to sex for us"

"Good point…No! Happy… happy… must think happy… Help me here!" Brooke giggled. The excitement was starting to take over… it still hurt but she was starting to realize that they were going to finally have their baby and she couldn't help but smile.

"Um…"

"We don't have a name… name him!" Brooke said remembering they still didn't have a name. They were supposed to sit down and look at names tonight but since that obviously wasn't happening.

"Ok Brooke… Are you ready?"

"Can I have like 5 minutes here?"

"Nope…" The doctor laughed. Again Brooke didn't find it funny.

"You people are crazy if you think we're paying you for this… This is the worst service I have ever had!"

"Ok… get ready"

"Lucas… I'm scared" Brooke whispered. The words get ready didn't sound good… get ready was usually used when you needed to brace for something bad… like 'Get ready… here comes the tornado'.

"Why?"

"It's going to hurt… and what if he isn't ok?"

"He will be… Smile Cheery…" And just like that in that crazy way Lucas had he made her feel better. It was something about that Scott smile… something the girls had inherited from him too. One flash of it and suddenly everything felt ok again.

"Ok Brooke… this is it, ready?"

"Do I have a choice?" Brooke whined rolling her eyes at the doctor.

"Push"

"Ow…. Son of a bitch!"

"Don't talk… just breathe" The doctor whispered.

"I'll talk if I want too! I want drugs!"

"Can't you give her something?" Lucas asked. He hated seeing how much pain Brooke was in… and his hand.

"10 more seconds and she wont need anything…you must have been contracting all day Brooke, this is one of the faster deliveries I have ever been in…"

"Those who aren't having the baby don't talk! OW!" Brooke whined. She really really wanted to hurt something… but she figured since the only thing in strangling distance was Lucas she would restrain herself.

"It's a Girl!"

"What!"

"Kidding… kidding… I like to give parents who think they know exactly what they are having a good scare every once in a while… it's a Boy…" The doctor laughed holding up the tiny baby for Brooke and Lucas to see.

"Is he ok?" Brooke asked… the tears had started, sooner than she had thought too… she figured she'd be crying the whole delivery from pain but it wasn't until she saw him that the tears started.

"He's perfect… good lungs, whiney just like this mom"

"Can I see him? Lucas take pictures!"

"I'm already on it" Lucas had his cell phone out snapping away. Brooke wasn't sure if she should laugh or cry…

"You really are a little guy… 6 pounds 3 ounces, Here dad you want to take him to mom?" The nurse smiled handing the tiny baby to Lucas after he was cleaned up and weighed.

"Hey man…"

"Hey baby… Lucas give him a name already" Brooke whispered taking the little baby from Lucas. He was so big compared to Allie and Chloë, but other than the fact that he was a total blonde… he looked like the girls too.

"Brooke we need you to lay back some…"

"He's so big…"Lucas whispered reading Booke's mind

"Hi buddy… You're going to break some hearts… You'll be a sex addict plastic surgeon in no time! Lucas take your son and give him a name already… or I am going to do it for you" Brooke laughed handing her baby back to Lucas. She felt so tired and weak she was scared she might drop him or something… plus Lucas holding his son was a total Kodak moment.

"He doesn't look like any of the names I picked out"

"Yea… mine either, he's too cute to be a Cruiser or a Cohen"

"Definitely not a Michael and definitely not a Ryan as much as I wanted him to be, you ok babe? You look kind of pale, is she ok?" Lucas asked looking over at the doctor who was still working on Brooke. All the color had drained out of her lips and under her eyes were dark.

"There's some bleeding, we're getting it under control"

"What about Rylan? It's almost like Ryan, because we both know that's you're favorite name… just not as common" Brooke whispered playing with the babies little fingers.

"Rylan Christian Scott"

"He could be a model with that name"

"I like it" Lucas smiled. Again Brooke had named a baby… but he didn't really care at this point. His thinking right now was if anyone had to go through that much pain to have a baby then they deserved to name it whatever they wanted.

"Me too… hey baby Rylan, you're going to be so spoiled… and you're going to drive your big sisters crazy…Luke go show him to the girls, bye Rylan…I love you"

" Hey… is she ok?" Lucas asked again pulling the nurse to the side of the room before taking Rylan out to see Chloë and Allie.

"We're working on it… I wouldn't worry, it's probably just a tiny tear where her scar is with some bleeding…its fairly common"

"Brooke… Brooke… Damn it Maggie, I can't get it to stop, call the OR, Lucas is she on any medicines?" The doctor asked basically interrupting Maggie's explanation to Lucas about how Brooke was going to be fine.

"Those shots during the day… what's going on?"

"Heparin? A blood thinner… that would explain a lot, we're got to get her to surgery now"

"You said she'd be ok" Lucas yelled. Everything was starting to happen way too fast again and he was confused and scared. He had to keep reminding himself that he was holding Rylan so he wouldn't drop him.

"No one told me she was on a blood thinner"

"No one asked! Its in her chart!"

"Lucas… you have to calm down. Take care of your son, show him off… we'll work on Brooke Ok? Don't worry until we tell you there is something to worry about… for now be happy…you have a new baby… you have 2 girls outside who want to meet their brother. Leave Brooke to us."

The hours passed like seconds. No one was telling Lucas anything. Both the girls were asleep in his lap and Rylan was in the newborn nursery getting a bath, fed and checked over 100. He had shown the Rylan to the girls, who had been totally fascinated with their little brother. Not at all grasping the concept that that was the fishy from mommy's tummy. But after 20 minutes or so of showing Rylan off and letting the girls play with him and "hold" him, Lucas still hadn't heard anything from anyone… except for the nurse who walked him and the girls down to the nursery. For the next few hours everyone was quiet except for Allie and Chloë who kept asking to see Brooke, and told everyone who walked by about their brother, until they finally fell asleep in Lucas's arms.

"Lucas!" Karen gasped finding her way into the waiting room from the hall.

"Mom…"

"I'm sorry… come here, have you heard anything yet?"

"Nothing" Lucas whispered pointing to the sleeping girls. Really he was just using them as an excuse… he wasn't in the mood to talk right now.

"How's the baby?"

"Perfect…"

"Does he look just like you?" Karen asked excitedly. Lucas thought about just pointing her to the nursery… he wasn't exactly feeling very excited at the moment. He was of course more than thrilled to have Rylan who was healthy and totally perfect, but right now he was more focused on Brooke.

"He's a pretty even mix…"

"Yaya!" Allie shrieked hearing Karen's voice.

"Hey girls… did you see you're brother?"

"Ry-ya-lin!" Chloë said sounding out his name best she could.

"Is he cute?"

"Uh huh!"

"Karen" Dan said from the corner. Lucas had pretty much forgotten he was even there. He had forgotten all about Fergie and the guys too…he had spent the past hour trying to figure out why this had happened. Here they were now with 3 kids and none of the deliveries had been normal…

"Dan"

"Mr. Scott… we need to talk…"
