Chapter 17

New Addition To The Scott Family

It was February 14, Valentine's Day. Brooke was sitting on her temporary bed at Peyton's house, formerly Jake's house, thinking about Lucas. She was a little upset because Lucas always did something special for her and they weren't even speaking to eachother.

"Brooke, are you ever going to come out of here?" Peyton asked sympathecically sitting down beside her with Jenny.

"No." Brooke said quickley looking at the floor.

"Brooke, everything is going to be ok, Lucas is a good guy and he'll come around." Peyton said comforting her.

"Yea Aunty Bwooke, don't cwry." Jenny said giving her a hug.

"Thanks, Jenny." Brooke said hugging her back smiling.

"Jenny, how about you go play with your toys while I talk to Aunty Brooke." Peyton said putting Jenny down.

"Ok, bye." Jenny said running out of the bedroom.

"Are you going to be ok, Brooke?" Peyton asked seriously.

"Peyton, I have to see him, I have to talk to him." she said realizing she had to because she was going to have their baby any day now.

"You do what you need to do, Brooke." Peyton said patting her shoulder then getting up. "I'll drive you over there."

"Ok." Brooke said getting up, too. "Thanks Peyt."

"No problem, bestest friend." Peyton said hugging her and laughing.

Brooke and Peyton were in the car with Jenny in the back seat. They just got a little ways from the house when Brooke made a groaning sound.

"What was that, Brooke, are you ok?" Peyton said slowing down.

"Yea, I'm fine, I just keep having these pains in my lower back, they've been happening all day but I just didn't think they were anything." she said putting her hand on the lower back.

"Do they hurt bad?" Peyton asked.

"They weren't bad, but now they're getting worse." she explained.

"Ok, don't panic Brooke, but I think you might be in labour." Peyton said as she turned the car around quickley.

"What are you doing?" Brooke asked noticing.

"I'm taking you to the hospital right now!" Peyton demanded.

"Oh no your not, we have to go to my house and talk to Luke." Brooke said freaking out. "See look it doesn't even hurrrrrrt...oooww!...anymore."

"Oh yea, sure." Peyton said sarcastically. "Brooke, just breath."

"What wong, momma?" Jenny asked from the backseat. "Is Aunty Bwooke sick?"

"Uh, yea, were going to take her to the doctor, don't worry babe." Peyton said kindly.

"Otay, feewl betta soon Aunty." Jenny said continuing to play with her toy.

"Ah! Oh my god! Ok, you can go to the hospital now! Ooooowwww!" Brooke screamed grabbing her stomach.

"Don't worry, already on my way." Peyton said. "Keep breathing."

"Yea, like I'm going to stop!" Brooke screamed sarcastically.

Jenny started crying in the back from all the yelling and put her hands over her ears.

"I'm...ow...sorry baby." Brooke said feeling bad.

"Shhh, don't cry Jenny, Brooke's going to be ok." Peyton said comforting her little girl.

"Yea, see I'm all better." Brooke stopped screaming and bit into her seat belt as hard as she could. Peyton just laughed at her. "What, it's not my fault! This fricken hurts...OH MY GOD, SON OF A-" she didn't finish because of Jenny.

"Ok ok, calm down Brooke, were here." Peyton said as she sped to the front of the hospital.

Peyton got out and helped Brooke out the other side. She was breathing hard and holding her stomach. Nurses ran out and one brought a wheel chair.

"She's having a baby!" Peytin yelled as she lead Brooke to the wheel chair.

"Yes, I can see that." the nurse said. "Just calm down miss, we'll get your baby delivered in no time."

The nurse wheeled her off and Peyton got Jenny out and another nurse offered to take her so Peyton could go with Brooke.

"Is there a Mr. Scott we can call?" the nurse asked when they got Brooke onto a bed.

"Yes, Lucas Scott, my husband." Brooke said breathing deeply still.

"I'll go call him." Peyton said grabbing her phone out and going into the hall. She dialed his number and it started ringing. "Please be home, please be home." she said to no one in particular.

"Hello?"

"Lucas! You have to get down here right away! Brooke's having the baby!" Peyton yelled excitedly.

Every thought about Brooke that Lucas had before rushed out of him as he heard what Peyton told him. "I'll be there in a minute!"

"Ok, bye Luke." Peyton said hanging up with him. "Ok, Nathan and Haley now...no wait, Karen and Kieth first, duh."

"Hello?"

"Karen, Brooke's having the baby, come to the hospital now!" she yelled again.

"Ok, is Lucas there?" Karen asked worriedly.

"Not yet, but he's on his way." Peyton said.

"Alright, bye." Karen said hanging up.

"Ok, now Nathan and Haley." she said.

"Oh, thank god your here!" Peyton said excitedly as Lucas came rushing down the hall.

"Where is she, in here?" he asked panickly.

"Yea." she said.

"Brooke." Lucas said as he ran into the room.

"Lucas!" Brooke said happily through tears sitting up in the bed.

"I'm so sorry, baby." he said hugging her tightly. "I'm never going to let you leave me again."

"I'm sorry too, I love you." she said kissing his neck.

"I love you, too." he said sitting down beside her and putting a piece of her hair behind her ear. "We can forget about the past and move on, we are going to love and take care of this baby."

"Thannn...ooooowwwww...ooooo...get this baby out of meeee, now!" she screaming, crouching forward.

"Ok, I need you to breath and relax, Brooke, can you do that for me?" the doctor said. Brooke nodded. "I think it's time you went and had a baby now, hmm?"

"Fine, yes, whatever, just get it out!" Brooke screamed again.

"Everything's going to be ok, Brooke, I promise." Lucas said rubbing her back.

"I hope so." Brooke said worriedly as they rolled her down to a delivery room.

"How's she doing?" Karen asked as her and Kieth ran down the hall to where Peyton was sitting and waiting.

"They rolled her down to a delivery room about half an hour ago." Peyton said standing up and hugging Karen.

"Ok, well, we just have to wait then." Karen sid sitting down. "Oh, I'm worried for my boy."

"It's ok, Karen, he knows what he's doing, he's a good boy." Kieth said comforting her.

"Haley, Nathan." Peyton said walking towards them. "I'm so happy you guys are here." she said hugging them.

"We wouldn't miss this." Haley said laughing. "How is she doing?"

"Good, I'm guessing, she went to a delivery room half an hour ago." Peyton explained.

"Ok, I guess we just sit here then." Nathan said.

"Ok, Brooke, I need you to push for me again." the doctor said kindly.

"I don't want to anymore!" Brooke said whining, tiredly.

"Come on Cheery, you can do this, I know you can, just squeeze my hand." Lucas said giving her his hand.

Brooke squeezed his hand tightly and pushed again. "Ok, ok let's stop now!"

"Ok, good job, It's almost done, I need you to give me one big push, put everything you've got into it." the doctor said.

Brooke took a deep breathe and started pushing.

"Good job, keep it up!" the doctor said excitedly. "I see the head, keep pushing!"

"Yep, your doing great, babe!" Lucas said.

Brooke made a final big push.

"Ok you can stop!" the doctor said. The baby started crying suddenly. "You did great! Look at your little boy!"

Brooke was panting tiredly and smiling when they showed her the little, crying baby boy.

"Look, you did it, Brooke, that's our baby!" Lucas said excitedly hugging her and kissing her.

"Oh my god!" Brooke said happily. "He's so cute, he looks just like you!"

"I know, he's pretty good looking." Lucas said sarcastically.

"Be careful over there, he's really small!" Brooke screamed to the nurses.

"Brooke, they have it under control they deliver baby's all the time." Lucas said laughing at her.

"I know, but-" she said.

"Here you go, you want to hold him?" the nurse asked bringing them the wrapped up baby.

"Awww, he's so adorable!" Brooke said starting to cry.

"Hi, little guy." Lucas said as the baby took his finger.

"Do we have a name for this handsome little boy?" the nurse asked.

Brooke and Lucas looked at eachother. "Braden Micheal Scott."

"Ok." the nurse said walking out.

"I'm going to go tell everyone." Lucas said getting up.

"Just a second." Brooke pulled him back down by the front of his shirt and kissed him. "Thank you."

He just smiled and left the room while Brooke played with Braden by herself.

"Wow, they've been in there for a long time." Haley said. "I hope it doesn't take that long for me."

"Don't worry, Haley." Nathan said rubbing her back.

Lucas came around the corner with a big smile on his face and everybody stood up.

"We have a little boy!" he yelled happily.

Everybody was happy and hugged Lucas.

"Can we come see him?" Peyton asked.

"I don't know, but you are anyways." he said laughing leading them to the room.

They all walked in and Brooke looked at them with a small smile.

"Let me see my grandson!" Karen said as Brooke handed her him. "Oh my god, isn't this just the cutest little boy?"

"Even cuter than me?" Lucas asked.

"Oh yea, you weren't this cute." Karen said sarcastically.

"My turn." Haley said. "I want to hold my nephew."

"I hope our baby is this cute." Nathan said tickling his little stomach.

"Of course it will be, it's a Scott." Brooke said laughing.

"Ok, me now." Peyton said as Jenny went to Haley and Braden went to her.

"Hey Braden, don't listen to what your mom says, she can be crazy sometimes, just listen to your dad and you'll turn out fine." Peyton said sarcastically in a baby voice.

"Hey!" Brooke whined crossing her arms. "Give me my kid back now."

"Ok, ok." Peyton said.

"Can I swee da baby?" Jenny asked.

"Sure, sweetie, come sit beside Aunty Brooke." she said making room as best she could. She was really sore still.

"Hi baby, we are goin to pway boubies and watch the wittle Memaid." Jenny said exitedly talking to the sleeping baby.

"Look's like your going to have a gay little boy when Jenny's done with him." Peyton said laughing.

"I think with me being a shopaholic he was doomed anyways." Brooke said sarcastically.

"Oh no, he's playing basketball then for sure, we got to even it out a little." Lucas said sitting beside Brooke. "But if he doesn't wnt to, that's ok."

"Yea, maybe he'll want to take ballet." Brooke said giving Lucas an evil smile.

"No, that's where we drop the line." Lucas said laughing.

"He's only like 20 minutes old, we have to get through at least the first 10 years of his life before he knows what he wants to do for sure." Brooke said looking down at him. Then she handed him to Lucas who hadn't even holded him yet. When Lucas was holding his son he felt so good, like he made that little thing on his own, well with Brooke, but that wasn't the point. He had his own life now and he had his son to share it with now. He felt like his family was complete: him, Brooke, and Braden.

Everybody left so they could be alone with their son for a while, until the nurse came and took him away. Lucas stayed with Brooke and they talked almost all night until Brooke fell asleep on him. They were finally ok again. Brooke could go back home and start her life. In a way the baby was the reason they got back together.
