I met the girl that's now my wife about three years ago
We had the perfect marriage but we wanted somethin' more
Now here I stand surrounded by our family and friends
Crowded 'round the nursery window as they bring the baby in

Mae came to Lucas' birthday party that year and every year since, Royal had come around on Lucas 10 birthday and hadn't missed one since. When Lucas turned 16 his younger brother started coming with his grandparents and he and Nathan became friends.

Many things happened that year also; Lucas met the love of his life Brooke. Both Karen and Keith thought they were to young to have such a serious relationship, but Lucas and Brooke showed them both that they could handle it. They got married during their freshman year in college. Now they were all anxiously awaiting the birth of Brooke and Lucas' first child.

"Lucas, it's time to go." Said Brooke as she came into the kitchen where Lucas was drinking his coffee.

"Are you sure?"

"Would I be down here, telling you it's time if it wasn't time?" Said Brooke.

"I don't know would you be?"

"LUCAS!" Yelled Brooke.

"Okay, let's go." Said Lucas.

On the way to the hospital Lucas called his parents, brother, grandparents and everybody else that he could think of.

"Okay, I've decided I don't want to do this Lucas." Said Brooke in the middle of a contraction.

"It's a little late for that honey." Said Lucas as he rubbed her stomach.

"Oh, shut up you aren't the one who has to deliver something this large." Said Brooke.

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"Let me guess the contraction is over." Said Lucas.

"Yes, so hurry up so I can get the good epidural and not be mean to you anymore." Said Brooke knowing she was a tad on the bitchy side.

"I thought all epidurals were good." Said Lucas.

"They are but I want the one that lasts the longest." Said Brooke.

They arrived at the hospital and checked in. Brooke got her good epidural and sat calmly looking through the baby name book that she and Lucas had been looking through since they had found out about the baby.

"Find any good ones yet?" Asked Lucas.

"Not really." Said Brooke. "How about 'Drake'?"

"Brooke, honey think about it 'Drake Scott' sounds like a soap actor."

"You're right." Said Brooke. "Ooh how about 'Finley'?"

"Finley Scott, I like it." Said Lucas.

"Good then Finley Keith Scott it is." Said Brooke.

"We can use Finn as a nickname." Said Lucas.

"Sounds good." Said Brooke as she ran a hand over her stomach.

A little while later a nurse came in and told Lucas that he should make an appearance in the waiting room to settle the crowd down.

"I'll be right back don't go anywhere." Said Lucas jokingly.

"Where am I going to go jackass?" Asked Brooke.

"I don't maybe the Bahamas." Said Lucas.

"Not until I can fit in a bikini again." Said Brooke.

"I'll be back." Said Lucas as he kissed her forhead.

Lucas walked out into the waiting room and was met with a huge crowd of people some whom he didn't even call. His parents were there as well as Nathan and his girlfriend Haley, their friend Peyton, Tony who they had started calling Skills in grade school, Michael who they started calling Junk because well no one really knows why, Mae and Royal were also there.

"Hey Guys the nurse came in and told me I had to come and settle the crowd she wasn't kidding." Said Lucas.

"How's Brooke?" Asked Karen.

"She's fine. No longer in any pain." Said Lucas.

"She went with the epidural?" Asked Peyton.

"Oh, yeah and thank goodness to she was starting to yell at me before." Said Lucas.

"Well honey no offense but you deserve it." Said Karen.

"Hey I was not alone in her becoming pregnant."

"Still you deserve all the yelling she throws at you." Said Karen.

"Thanks Mom, so I am going back to my wife now. Keep it down out here." Said Lucas jokingly.

A few hours went by and Brooke was now feeling the pain, Lucas did the best he could being supportive and understanding, one of the main things he was understanding was that every other word out of Brooke's mouth was a swear and she told him numorous times that he was never to touch her again. At 12:05am Finley Keith Scott was brought into the world. Everyone was still in the waiting room and giving the new parents time alone with their son. Lucas came out and asked that Keith, Royal, and Nathan accompany him to the nursery for a second. The Scott men stood at the window and looked at the small person that was the newest member of the exclusive club.

"He's perfect Luke. You and Brooke did a great job." Said Keith. "There is the only thing in my life that I regret and that is that I missed out on seeing you born."

"But you have been there for everything else Dad. That's why his middle name is Keith." Said Lucas.

"Thanks Luke. Now you better go get your mom so she can see the newest edition to the family."

"On my way." Said Lucas.

"I can't decide who he looks more like Lucas or Brooke?" Said Nathan.

"We'll just have to wait until he's older to decide." Said Royal.
