Lucas laid in his hospital bed waiting for the next step. They had post-phoned surgery until today… giving him at least a good nights sleep. She was starting to see why Brooke loved those drugs so much. They seriously worked. He had tried to call her what seemed like a hundred times… but every time her voicemail picked up like her phone was off. According to the doctors he had to have the surgery today… and soon to make sure there was no permanent nerve damage. He had been delaying it all morning though, trying to at least get in touch with Brooke.

"Well well I didn't believe the name on the chart so I had to come see if myself" A tall lanky woman, with dirty blonde hair said walking into the room with Lucas's chart. Lucas guessed maybe she was a fan? That seemed to be happening a lot around the hospital. Random nurses coming in wanting an autograph or a picture.

"Ok?"

"Wow… you grew up to be hott… you really don't recognize me do you?"

"Sorry…" Lucas apologized. He truly had no idea who she was… tall, lanky, dirty blonde hair. She was pretty… not the kind of pretty Brooke was with her dimples and smile. Brooke was super-model pretty… while this woman was more girl next-door, working class Haley cute. She was taller than Brooke, not that that was hard to do since Brooke was only 5'4. And she was wearing far from the Brooke wardrobe of short skirts and tight shirts… this woman seemed to dress like… a doctor. He really had Brooke on the brain…and was finding it sad that he was comparing this poor woman to her.

"Alex? Alex Eason?"

"Oh my god, Alex!" Lucas said. It finally clicked, and now that he knew… she looked exactly the same as she had when she had left before they started 10 th grade. That night when he, Haley and Alex were all in tears when she drove off with her dad.

"What did you do to your shoulder?"

"Basketball"

"I'm not surprised one bit" Alex laughed sitting down on the bed. Lucas was guessing she was a doctor? That would have made since. She hadn't changed a bit, still with freckles and a Peta button on her shirt.

"God how long has it been?"

"10 years…"

"That's crazy" Lucas said shaking his head. It seemed like a lifetime ago… so much had happened. When Alex had moved he still hadn't even really met Brooke… or Peyton. He actually still kinda hated them.

"Tell me about it, how's Haley…How was the wedding? I want to hear everything"

"I actually didn't marry Haley…"

"What! Now that does shock me… I was so sure you 2 would get married, loose your virginity to each other on your wedding night, all that cute stuff" Alex laughed. It was all coming back to Lucas. It was going to be interesting to see how she took the news that he was married to Brooke, since considering 10 years ago… she had completely despised Brooke.

"Nope… she's actually married to Nathan"

"Nathan Nathan… as in your brother?"

"Yep…" Lucas said laughing at the shocked expression on her face.

"Wow… when did that happen?"

"When they were 17"

"Please tell me Haley James didn't break our pact loose her virginity before she got married!" Alex shrieked. Apparently she was still big on the whole no sex before marriage… at least she'd be proud of Haley for waiting.

"No… she waited"

"And you?"

"What else was in that pact anyway?" Lucas asked avoiding the question like the plague. Alex had always had some kind of power over him and Haley. In a lot of ways she and Brooke were a lot alike. They just used their powers for different thing…

"1. No sex before marriage, 2. We'd always be friends, 3. We'd save the world, 4. Save all the animals from animal testing. And our favorite… 5. Bring down Peyton Sawyer and"

"Lucas! Oh my god are you ok?" Brooke shrieked bursting through the door to Lucas's bedside.

"Brooke Davis"

"Yea?" Brooke asked trying to hold back her tears of relief that Lucas want dead or something.

"What are you doing here?"

"Mr. Scott… Its time" A nurse said knocking on Lucas's door

"Lucas… what's going on, hey… could we have a second" Brooke asked shooing away the nurse and Alex. She had to talk to Lucas and find out what was going on before she totally lost it.

"Sure?"

"All the message said was you were in the hospital! You scared the hell out of me! It's supposed to be the other way around" Brooke cried giving up on holding back her tears.

"Come here… don't cry, Brooke… I'm ok, it's just my shoulder" Lucas whispered pulling her to his chest with his one good arm.

"God Lucas! I had myself prepared for the worst!" Brooke cried not coming up from his chest.

"Its ok… I promise…Where are the kids?"

"I called Keith and Jules! I didn't know what else to do"

"Its ok… Brooke" Lucas whispered kissing the top of her head. He could feel her trembling as he took her hand.

"It just hit me I left Rylan! I've never been away from him" Brooke cried, even harder into his chest staining his shirt with her tears.

"Come here…"

"Mr. Scott…" The nurse said knocking on the door.

"I'll be here when you get out… I love you!"

"Love you too"

Brooke watched as they wheeled Lucas into surgery. She hated this… this wasn't how it was supposed to be. She was the one who got sick! He was the healthy one… after calling Keith and Jules to talk to the girls and tell everyone he was ok… she found a seat in the waiting room and leaned her head against the wall. Next thing she knew it was 3 hours later and she had a really stiff neck.

"You are Brooke Davis aren't you?" The girl from Lucas's room asked. She was sitting in the chair across from Brooke reading a Peta magazine and drinking what looked like green water.

"Yea, who are you?"

"Alex… you know he's married right? What are you like trying to have an affair with him or something? He wont do it… he's a good guy"

"Um… yea I know" Brooke said glaring at the woman… could she have been anymore blunt?

"So what… are you one of his basketball groupies or something? Cheerleader?"

"Who the hell are you?"

"Alex Eason… I left in 9th grade" The woman said rolling her eyes at Brooke.

"Ohh… you" Brooke sighed rolling her eyes right back. This was just great… not only was Lucas having surgery… but she was stuck in the waiting room with her mortal enemy.

"Yes… the one you picked on relentlessly"

"Only because you made everyone laugh at me in 2nd grade when I wore my mink coat to School! Then again in 8th when I asked Lucas to the dance and you told him it was because I wanted to rape him!"

"He hated you, you know… in high school?" Alex laughed raising her eyebrows at Brooke. Somehow Brooke found this hilarious. This girl was so obviously into Lucas, it was sad. Hadn't she gotten any sort of life in the past 10 years?

"Well he didn't hate me so much when he slept with me…" Brooke smiled opening up her People magazine.

"You're lying… Lucas wouldn't sleep with you, he waited until he was married and he sure as hell wouldn't marry you"

"Actually it was when we were 16 and he waited until he had downed a few beers"

"Sure, you keep living your little fantasy… Lucas would never have sex before marriage, especially with you" Alex sighed drinking her watery green whatever it was.

"Wow… ok, then I guess the stork is real and he felt that he should bring Lucas and I our twin girls BEFORE we got married..."

"Whoa… what? Lucas married you? Sure…"

"Fine! You wanna see pictures! Here… That's Allie, That's Chloë… they're 2! And that's Rylan… he's a little over 5 weeks" Brooke said throwing her wallet at Alex. Alex's expression didn't change. She still had that smug look on her face she always had.

"So he married you because he knocked you up?"

"No… we had been engaged for a long time when I got pregnant… why am I telling you any of this anyway? Why are you even here? Weren't you trying to rid the world of evil last time I saw you?"

"No… Lucas, Haley and I were trying to bring you down" Alex smiled handing Brooke back her wallet.

"Oh… well good job on that one. Too bad you weren't there to see me get head cheerleader…or student counsel president… or to see Lucas and I get caught having sex in the locker room showers our senior year! That was before we were married by the way"

"You haven't changed a bit… I can't believe he would actually have kids with… you. God I hope they don't turn out like you… in fact I can't even believe he would marry you… or date you."

"Well maybe once you were gone and stopped filling his head with crap about me… he found out I wasn't that bad after all" Brooke said trying hard not to throw something. She hadn't been this pissed off in a long time! Who was Alex to come in here and start pulling all her old crap!

"You filled his head with crap all by yourself!"

"I hit on him 1 time in 9th grade and you told him I was the one who killed his dog!"

"Well someone had to protect him from you and Peyton" Alex said glaring at Brooke. Brooke couldn't believe what she was hearing! Protect him from her and Peyton? Last time she checked… it was her and Peyton that needed the protecting from him in high school.

"Oh well guess what! He dated her too… actually… your little sweet innocent Lucas dated us both at the same time Jr. Year!"

"Bringing you down…"

"Bite me! Oh wait… never mind, that's Lucas's job… even before we were married!" Brooke smiled raising her eyebrows at Alex. That felt good… she had forgotten how much fun it was to fight with this bitch.

"Mrs. Scott… he's out"

"Mrs. Scott… wow… I never realized what a nice ring that had to it!"

Brooke walked into Lucas's room, sure to leave Alex far behind her and sat down beside Lucas's bed. He looked a lot better than she had after her surgery… he was even away. Of course his eyes were a little glazed over, he was probably heavily medicated. But even laying there in the hospital bed he looked hot. She really just wanted to kiss him and tell him how thankful she was he was ok and not dead… but she figured she'd wait, at least until he would remember what she was telling him.

"Hey pretty girl" Lucas smiled taking Brooke's hand.

"My husband… how ya feeling?"

"So much better now that you're here…I tried to call like 20 times"

"Yea… Bevin was there, lets just say our kids made it through their first keg party alive" Brooke laughed figuring if she told him now… he might not remember tomorrow.

"Do I want to know?"

"Probably not…so, I just spent an hour fighting with your psycho friend"

"Didn't take the news I married you well?" Lucas asked raising is eyebrows. He didn't seem too drugged, but he looked like he was in pain.

"She didn't take any news well"

"You didn't tell her I slept with you at 16 did you…"

"It may… or may not have slipped out, I thought she was going to strangle me! Oh and by the way… I didn't kill your dog in 9th grade, the garbage truck hit it, and I just found it" Brooke added figuring she needed to tell him. There was no telling the dirt this little slut was going to try and dig up on her just to make her and Lucas fight.

"Good to know"

"Mrs. Scott… we need you to come and fill out some paperwork for us?"

"Sure… I'll be back babe, get some rest" Brooke whispered kissing him on the forehead.

As soon as Brooke was out of sight down the hallway, Alex crept her way back into Lucas's room to find out if everything Brooke had told her was true. She was guessing it was… or why else would Brooke even be there? She just couldn't believe Lucas, her Lucas would end up with Brooke Davis.

"Hey…" Alex smiled sitting down in the chair next to Lucas's bed.

"So you talked to Brooke"

"Yea…we spent an hour fighting just like old times, but I've been thinking and if you love her, then she cant be but so bad. So how did it happen anyway?"

"Long story…" Lucas sighed. He wasn't sure Alex really wanted to hear the whole long history of him and Brooke.

"I've got some time… you're going to have to explain this one"

"I went for Peyton first, when that didn't work I started hanging out with Brooke… and I fell for her, Then… Peyton decided she wanted me… I broke Brooke's heart, realized I was an ass…moved to Charleston for like a week, came back… dated Anna, realized I was totally in love with Brooke, Dated Brooke, we broke up, I dated Peyton, we got back together the summer after senior year and I haven't let her go since"

"So you really love her?" Alex asked, making totally sure what she was hearing was true. This was just too much to take in in one day.

"As corny as it sounds… I can't imagine life without her. I really cant. I can't even remember when I wasn't in love with her"

"I can…so I hear you've got kids" Alex asked changing the subject. She didn't want to hear about him and Brooke anymore… maybe at least the kids were bad or something… anything to make what Brooke and Lucas had less perfect sounding

"3… Allie's the oldest… she talks non-stop, and loves animals and baby dolls. Then Chloë's about 5 minutes younger, She's a little quieter, but she's the instigator and then when you catch her she gives you this sad look and you just cant get mad at her… They're both so spoiled rotten and refuse to wear pants… Just dresses or skirts. Even when they play basketball with me, they have pink tennis shoes. And Rylan's 5 weeks old… but he's already so spoiled. He's got Brooke and I so whipped its not even funny… he knows if he cries one of us is going to run to him and pick him up right then"

"Wow… you're so involved in their lives! I mean I guess you have to be with Brooke and all… I mean she definitely isn't the motherly type"

"I don't think they come better than Brooke when it comes to mothers with their kids. I tried to talk her into sending the girls to pre-school the other day and she cried for 2 hours… like we were sending them to college or something" Lucas laughed shaking his head.

"I never would have guessed"

"Hey babe… oh it's you" Brooke groaned sitting on the bed next to Lucas.

"I'm sorry about earlier"

"Which part? Basically calling me a slut, or a bitch or a pathological liar, or a delusional whore?"

"All of it?" Alex asked putting on a smile to make it seem more sincere.

"Lucas… did you slip her some of your drugs?"

"We could always go get coffee or something… start over, you look like you need the caffeine"

"Brooke" Lucas whispered seeing Brooke's evil glare towards Alex.

"Fine… ok, you rest Broody" Brooke whined kissing Lucas then walking out behind Alex into the hallway.

"Well you've got him pretty whipped"

"What?"

"I mean I guess he is a guy, if you wear tight enough shirts and short enough skirts… and sleep with him enough, he has to love something about you right?" Alex asked pointing to Brooke's tight shirt and smiling. It was taking everything Brooke had not to slap that whore.

"I knew that was all crap in there! What the hell is your problem?"

"My problem? My problem is that you got to be the biggest bitch in high school! The most popular girl, and you still landed the nice guy because you're hott and he's got money"

"You do realize I love him right?"

"Sure you do…you really think he's with you because he loves you? He's with you because you had his kids and Haley married his brother!" Alex laughed finding it hilarious that Brooke was still so blonde.

"You little whore! You're just jealous that I got him and you didn't! That his kids are mine too... That I'm happy and you aren't! I'm living the life I always wanted and you're… doing whatever your doing. You can't accept the fact that he's happy with me… but you know what drives you the most crazy? The fact that I love him, and you know it… even more, the fact that he loves me too, if you really thought he didn't. You wouldn't be so upset."

"We'll see how happy he stays with you…Especially after I give our little friend Haley a call"

"Too bad Haley loves me now too" Brooke laughed. This was hilarious… at least she knew Haley would be on her side…

"Uh huh… sure she does, she always talked about how she wanted me with Lucas…and Lucas listens to her… I'm guessing he still does?"

"Look bitch… we've been through way too much for you to go all high school on us and try to 'break' us up! We made it through Peyton's crackwhoreish days! Our children almost dying, then me almost dying. That man in there is my life and just because your pissed about what I did to you in high school isn't going to break us up!" Brooke said trying to keep her voice down so Lucas didn't hear the whole screaming match. He didn't need this right now… he needed no stress at all, and here she and Alex were at each other's throats.

"The past repeats itself Brooke, he hated you once… he'll hate you again, he loved me once… he'll love me again"

"Go screw yourself… I've got to make a phone call"

After she was sure she was out of Brooke's site she pulled out her eye drops. She needed to look upset before talking to Lucas, that way he could see what a terrible person he had married. After making a few tear streaks appear on her face she slowly opened the door to Lucas's room and then shut it.

"What's wrong?" Lucas asked seeing the tear streaks on Alex's face. That didn't look good. He had heard yelling from outside the door but he was hoping it wasn't what he thought.

"I'm sorry Lucas, I tried. She just went off on me! Yelling and saying I couldn't have you! I told her we were just friends but she wouldn't listen!"

"She's just stressed right now… she doesn't do well in hospitals"

"Yea… I think I should go… give you guys some space. But Lucas, as a doctor… the signs she was showing were scary. I thought she might actually hurt me! Is she stressed at home? On anti-depressants?" Alex asked quietly…

"Brooke… anti-depressants? That's like an oxy-moron"

"Sometimes new mothers go through depression. Lucas she is clearly unstable…she doesn't go off on that to the children does she?"

"Brooke… yell at one of our kids? She can't even say no…" Lucas laughed. He had no idea what Alex was talking about… sure Brooke had a mouth on her and could tell someone off in a heart beat… but he couldn't imagine her actually scaring someone.

"Lucas… I know this is none of my business but I think she should be checked out again… I mean she was on medication for this sort of thing in high school"

"What?"

"You didn't know? Lucas… I worked in the office, ask Haley… she knows too… I should go before she gets back… Give me a call later, we'll talk" Alex smiled giving him a little wave before she left. She could tell she had left Lucas totally confused and lost… which was exactly how she wanted him.

After calling and talking to her girls and Rylan, and stopping by the gift shop Brooke was feeling a lot calmer. She couldn't figure out why she had gotten so worked up about this girl anyway… it wasn't like Lucas was going to say "Oh… Brooke I have loved you for the past 7 years, but I love Alex now". Lucas loved her and felt totally confident with their relationship. She still wanted to kick Alex's ass… but other than that… she was totally fine.

"Hey Broody… so I called the girls and they said to give you kisses from them… and I'm sure Rylan would say the same… only hopefully a little less gay sounding, oh and I went to the gift shop and had a shopping party…" Brooke said showing Lucas all the random stuff she had picked up. But he didn't look to good… she couldn't tell if he was tired, or mad, or just in pain… either way she didn't like it.

"How was coffee?"

"Lucas… I really don't like that chick…"

"Hey… you know I love you right?" Lucas asked taking her hand. She was really starting to get freaked out. He was acting really weird… even weirder than the first time she gotr him drunk.

"Of course I do Luke, what's wrong… wait, you aren't dying or anything are you?"

"No… I have to be dying to tell you I love you?"

"No… but you have to be dying to ask me if I know you love me… babe, what's going on?" Brooke asked starting to get worried… this wasn't like Lucas. Drugged or not…

"Nothing… you were ok with the kids right? It wasn't too stressful having all 3 of them?"

"Actually no… the kids weren't stressful… the party? Stressful. You being here… stressful. But I'm good now…Why?"

"No reason…you aren't depressed are you?" Lucas asked trying to see if she seemed off. She seemed totally normal to him… then again he was kind of drugged.

"Lucas… ok you're really starting to scare me"

"Its just, Alex said you seemed depressed and edgy… and since you were on medication in high school for it and"

"What…" Brooke shrieked then laughed. That figured… leave it to the psycho to try and make her out to be the psycho.

"She and Haley said you were on anti-depressants"

"What! Lucas…I was on Iron! Remember when I passed out in PE in 9th grade? Yea… so they put me on iron and since I had a bad reaction the first time I took the pills… they had me come to the office to take them so they could make sure I didn't like stop breathing! Peyton and I called them my anti-depressants… it was a joke" Brooke laughed nervously. This was getting too weird for her taste. This girl was really really… desperate, or crazy.

"Right…"

"What else has she been telling you?"

"She's just concerned…" Lucas started but Brooke had heard enough.

"Concerned my ass…I'm going to kill that little bitch!"
