Chapter 15

The Baby Shower

Brooke, Haley, and Karen were having a girls day out shopping for baby shower stuff, Haley would be in a wheel chair they got from the hospital though. There was no way she was missing out on this. So Nathan and Lucas went to a basketball game.

"Bye Cheery, Haley." Lucas said as him and Nathan were about to leave. "Don't torture my mother too much today."

"I won't, I promise." Brooke said sarcastically. "Bye Broody, have fun."

"I will." he said kissing her.

"You too, Nathan." Haley said giving him a kiss. "Bye Luke."

"Don't get into any of that famous Scott sibling trouble." Karen said hugging Luke.

"Alright, we will." Lucas said laughing and leaving the house.

"It's kind of weird that your guys are shopping for your own baby shower." Karen said as they walked through the mall, she was pushing Haley.

"We want to." Brooke said simply. "And it's not that I'm shopping for my baby shower, she's shopping for mine and I'm shopping for her's."

"Ah, I see." Karen said laughing.

"So, what do we get anyways?" Haley asked curiously.

"Pink and blue balloons, streemers, cake, baby shower games supplies." Karen said listing a few. "You know, baby shower stuff."

"Oh yea, well actually I don't, because it's not like I've ever done this before." Haley said grabbing ballons off the shelf. "I've never been pregnant before."

"Yea..." Brooke said looking away. "Me either..."

"Well then, you should be lucky you have me here." Karen said smiling.

"Did you have a baby shower, Karen?" Haley asked.

"No, nobody was really happy about me being pregnant, so my parents didn't throw me one." she explained. "So I'm happy I get to shop with you guys."

"Were happy your here too." Brooke said walking up to the counter.

"Wow, this is awesome!" Lucas said as him and Nathan tried to find their seats.

"Yea, I'm glad we did this." Nathan said sitting down. "We don't get to spend that much brotherly time together anymore, just hanging out and relaxing with nobody to inturrupt us."

"Yea well, we have pregnant wives now and they pretty much contol everything we do." Lucas said laughing.

"Do you still get woken up at late hours of the night, with your wife needing some kind of crazy food?" Nathan asked knowingly, laughing.

"Yeees, she's constantly whining for food or a back rub." Lucas said agreeing.

"Yea, but It'll be worth it in the end." Nathan said smiling.

"Yea." Lucas said.

"I can't explain to you how excited I am." Nathan sais thinking about it. "I'm going to have a son or duahgter in 2 months."

"Yes, I know the feeling." Lucas said. "But It's also kind of scary, what if we don't know what to do or it's crying and we don't know what it wants?"

"I think we will just know that stuff." Nathan said logically.

The girls were back at Brooke's house and they were going to set up for tomorrow morning.

"I better go lay down, it was a long day." Haley said thinking about her baby.

"Yea, you can go in the spare, Hales." Brooke said pointing down the hall. "I will come tell you when everything is done."

"Alright." she said getting out of the wheel chair and walking as good as a 7 month pregnant woman could to the bedroom.

"This cake looks great, probably because I didn't make it though." Brooke said laughing.

"Why, you can't bake?" Karen asked hanging up streemers.

"No, my mom never had an oppertunity to teach me." Brooke explained as she leaning on the island in the kitchen. "We always had catarers and cooks, so I never realy learned how to cook or bake anything actually."

"Well, I'll have to teach you sometime." Karen said giving her a kind smile.

"I would love that." she agreed smiling back. "I bet Lucas would love that, too."

Karen just laughed.

The house was all decorated, the food was made, and the cake was bought. Karen and especially Brooke was exhausted from the hard day and couldn't wait for the next day. The guys got home to Brooke, Karen and Haley, she was laying on the couch, watching TV.

"Hey babe, were back." Lucas said as he opened the door.

"Yea hi." she said as she tried to wave at him.

"What's the matter, by the way, the house looks...festive." he said looking around trying to find the right words.

"Thanks, but I'm just so tired, it feels like I've been carrying bowling balls in my stamach all day, I just want to go to sleep." she explained trying to get up.

Lucasjust laughed and grabbed her hand. "Here, let me help."

"Nathan, can you carry me home?" Haley asked smiling sarcastically.

"Ha, yea right." he said.

"Haley, you can stay here so you don't have to move, I know what it feels like, I bet you just want to lay there." Brooke said laughing.

"Yea ok, I'm going to be here tomorrow anyways." she said.

"I'll bring you some clothes when I come pick up Luke tomorrow." Nathan said kissing her cheek.

"Ok, love you." she said tiredley.

"Love you too, bye." Nathan said laeving the house.

"Well, I better go to, I'll see you girls tomorrow. I will call Deb, Peyton and the great-grandmas to tell them the time for tomorrow." Karen explained. "My mom is so excited."

"Alright, see you." they all said.

"Night Haley, let us know if you need anything." Lucas said.

"Ok, good night." she said back.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It was the next day, they all got good sleep and were ready for the fun day they had planned. The guys were going off to do god knows what and Deb and Dan's mom May, Karen and her mom, Peyton, Haley, and Brooke were all going to be in Brooke and Lucas's house. Luckily, it was big. They were all talking and catching up with eachother and eating cake.

"Peyton, where's Jake these days, I haven't seen him in a while." Karen said to Peyton.

"He's at his cousins wedding this weekend, but he's coming home late tonight." she explained.

"Oh ic, where's Jenny today?" she asked again.

"At her aunty's, I'm going to pick her up later, Jake just didn't want me to have to spend my whole weekend watching her." she said. "Not that I would have a problem with that."

"Ok! Time to play some baby shower games!" Brooke inturrupted. "First up, guess the sex, and weight of Haley's baby. Grandma Roe, you can go first."

"I will guess, boy, 7 pounds." she said while Brooke wrote it down.

"Grandma Scott, your turn." Haley said.

"Boy, 8 pounds 2 oz., because that's was Nathan was." she said.

"Karen." Brooke said.

"Girl, 6 pounds 6 oz." she said changing it up a bit. "Haley, I remember that's what you were."

Haley smiled. "Ok, Deb, your turn."

"Boy, 6 pounds 12 oz." she said.

"Peyton." Brooke said.

"Girl, 7 pounds 5oz." she said.

"Ok, my turn." Haley said. "I think my baby will weigh 5 pounds, 13 oz., because the doctor told me it would probably be small the last time I was in."

Everybody laughed. "That's not fair!" Brooke said sarcastically. "My turn, I will say 5 pounds 8 oz then."

Everybody laughed.

They did the same thing with Brooke's baby all the numbers ranging from 6 to 8 and then they played more games like guess the poop. They each had a diaper and hadto go into the kitchen seperatly and put edible stuff into the diaper and bring it back and everybody had to smell it and guess what was in it. Brooke ended up winning that one. Then they opened gifts.

"Aww, thanks Peyton." Brooke and Haley thanked her for the gift. They both got a picture of their 7 month sonograms drawn by her and framed. They also got a whole bunch of baby clothes girl's and boy's. They opened the ones from Karen next. Brooke got a diaper bag and inside there were baby shoes, clothes, and baby books. Haley got the same thing but different colors. Next was Deb's present's and they got gift certificates for a baby clothing and toy store and little white pillows that say 'I'm mommy's little brat' in black. The great-grandma's got together and made baby blankets for each of them. They had blue borders and in the center in pink Brooke's said 'Baby Brucas' and Haley's said 'Baby Naley.

Brooke and Haley didn't say it, but they looked at eachother and Brooke mouthed that the baby blankets were the best gift.

"Thanks for coming, and thanks for the baby blankets,they are so cute." Brooke and Haley thanked their grandma's, well, their grandma-in-laws as they left.

"So, I think it's nap time." Haley said falling gently on the couch. She new she should have been in bed all day but she couldn't help it. She wantedto be at the party not listen to it from the bedroom.

"Yea, I'm so exhausted." Brooke said falling beside her. "I wonder when the guys will be back."

"Well, I'm sleeping on our couch until Nathan comes to get me." Haley said smiling.

"Ok, I'm just going to go change into something more comfortable, do you want me to get you some comfortbale clothes too?" Brooke asked getting up, on the 3rd try anyways.

"Yea sure." Haley said.

Brooke was in her room getting some clothes from her closet when she found a box. She remembered the box and grabbed it and sat down on the bed. She found a letter inside and began to read it. As she was reading it she put her hand on her stomach and the tears started to fall. The letter was from when her and Lucas were 16 and in high school. The person that wrote the letter was Brooke, but she never gave it to Lucas like she was going to. She was a scared teenager and she didn't know what else to do. He said he would take care of her and be there for her, but it was to late, she already did it...and everything she told him that night was a lie...

-Flashback-

"...But if you wanna have this baby, then so do I, and what ever it takes for me to be a good father, I'll be there, Always, I promise you, I won't let you down." Lucas said with his hand on Brooke's knee.

She took a deep breath, and the tears came again.

"Hey." he said softly rubbing her knee again.

"I lied..." she said quietly.

"What?" he asked confused.

"I'm not pregnant." she said.

"But I saw the test." he said even more confused.

"I know, but when the doctor called, he said I wasn't pregnant, he said that can happen." she explained.

"Ok, no, no, no, no, no, I was standing right there when he called." he said standing up and not believing it.

"And you had just called me a slut!" she said getting upset and angry.

"So you lied to me to punish me!" he yelled. "How could you do this to me?"

"How could you cheat on me with my best friend!" she said as the tears came bursting out.

"I never ment to hurt you." he said.

"That doesn't really matter Luke, because in the end it all hurts just the same." she said quietly because she was crying.

-end flashback-

She put the letter back in the box with shaky hands. "I have to tell him, he won't like that I had an abortion, but I have to , he deserves to know..." she thought as she wiped away her tears.
