Hey, sorry I haven't updated in a while, but I've been really busy. I would just like to say how much I appreciate the reviews and I love writing this story for you guys. I didn't know how my first story was going to turn out or if anybody would even like it, so I'm really happy with the outcome:) When I first started this story I had something totally, entirely different then what did happen, but I like the way it turned out! So, here's your much deserved chapter, enjoy!...(by the way, I'm not a doctor and I don't know all the doctor stuff so just go along with it if its wrong, and I chose a different name for the baby so it won't be what was discussed in one of the previous chapters.)
Chapter 18
Bringing Home Baby
Braden was 2 days old and Brooke and Lucas were excited that they got to take him home now. Peyton and Haley went to Brooke and Lucas's to put up a banner that said, 'Welcome Home Braden'. They were there when Brooke and Lucas got home.
"This is your house Baby Broody." Brooke said as they walked through the door.
"Baby Broody?" Peyton asked hugging Brooke.
"Yes, he's the next Broody." she explained hugging her back and then hugging Haley. "Oh, I'm so happy to be home without this baby inside of me."
"Oh god, I can't wait until this one gets out, why doesn't it just come out already!" Haley said talking to her stomach.
"Any day now, Hales." Nathan said.
"Well, I want to go put Braden in his crib and go to bed for the rest of the day, I'm exhausted." Brooke said taking her son out of the carrier.
"Wait, I have a surprise for you Brooke." Lucas said smiling.
"Oooo surprises, I love them!" she said excitedly. "See Braden, that's why we love daddy, he gives us presents."
"I think you will like this one." he said starting to walk up the stairs. "Follow me."
"Ok, but it might take me a while to get up the stairs, Broody." she said looking at the stairs nervously. She still couldn't walk that well without everything hurting.
"I'll help you Brooke." Peyton said taking Braden from her and walking behind her.
When they got upstairs, Lucas opened the door to Braden's room.
"Awww, oh my god, this is so...amazing." she said shocked looking at the room. "Did you do this?"
"Yea, Nathan and Haley helped to." he explained putting his arm around her.
The room was all decorated. The walls were baby blue, in the crib there was a basketball mobile and basketball sheets, and a little basketball net hanging on the wall.
"When did you guys do this?" Brooke asked confused.
"Right after Nathan and Haley left the hospital 2 days ago they came here and Nathan painted the walls and Haley, with the help of Peyton because she's in the wheel chair, went and bought basketball stuff. Then, when I left you yesterday I came here and helped put it all together." Lucas explained as he took Braden and put him in the crib.
"Wow, Luke, thank you so much." she said as she gave him a kiss. "I really didn't like the plain white walls anyways."
"I know." he said smiling.
"And thank you guys, too." Brooke said hugging Peyton and Nathan. "I better get back downstairs so I can thank Haley, too. We need like a wheel chair ramp so Haley can actually get up here."
"Uh, hopefully she will just have the baby soon." Nathan said laughing at Brooke.

That evening, Lucas was in Braden's room just watching him sleep in his crib peacefully when Brooke walked in.
"Oh, there you are." she said smiling at him starring at his son.
"Hey, did you sleep well?" Lucas asked turning to look at her.
"I sure did." she said kissing him.
"Look at him, Brooke, he's so cute." he said putting his arm around Brooke and turning to Braden.
"I know he's cute, its because he's our son." she said. "But your not going to think he's cute when we are up at 4 in the morning because he's hungry."
"Well, good thing that's your job then." Lucas said jokingly.
She hit him playfully. "Fine, I feed him you change him."
"Oh the things I do for you." he said shaking his head.
"Well, that's why I love ya, Broody." she said starting to leave the room. "Now let's go to bed, again."

Brooke woke up in the morning to nobody beside her. She looked at her clock and it read, 11:30.
"Oh my god." she said getting up quickley, but then regreting it. She went downstairs to the kitchen and saw that Haley, Nathan, Peyton, and Jenny were there.
"Luke, I have to feed him, why didn't you wake me up?" Brooke asked freaking.
"You looked so peaceful, and he wasn't crying or anything, so I thought I would let you sleep a while since we were up half the night with him." he said handing Braden to her.
"Hey little boy let's go feed you." she said leaving the room.
"So, was the first night really that bad?" Peyton asked bouncing Jenny on her knee.
"We were up from 4 to 6 with him, he wouldn't stop crying and Brooke didn't want to leave him." Lucas said laughing.
"Don't worry, Luke, it'll get better." Haley said.
Brooke came back in the kitchen.
"Can I pway wit the baby, Aunty Bwooke." Jenny asked getting off of Peyton's lap.
"Jenny, you can't really play with a baby, you have to wait until he get's a little bigger." Brooke explained. Jenny just put her arms over her chest and put her lip out.
"Jenny, we better get going anyways." Peyton said picking her up. "Your going to grandma's while I go to a class."
"I wanna stay hewre!" Jenny yelled.
"Jenny, don't start." Peyton said. "Bye guys, I'll talk to you later."
"Bye Peyt." Brooke said laughing at Jenny.
"We better get you home too, Hales." Nathan said.
"Bye, Brooke, have fun today." Haley said waving good bye.

Nathan and Haley were laying on the couch watching TV. Then Haley got up to go to the bathroom. Nathan was wondering what was taking Haley so long so he decided to go check on her. As he was getting up he heard Haley scream.
"What's wrong, Hales!" Nathan said barging into the bathroom.
"Nathan, my water broke!" Haley yelled.
"Ewww!" Nathan yelled, looking down at the puddle of water on the floor.
"Nathan!" she said angrily.
"Oh right, your in labour, uh...um...here!" Nathan said getting the wheel chair and helping Haley in to it. He got her out of the house and got her into the car.
"Call Brooke and Lucas!" Haley said nervously.
On the way there Nathan called them. When they got to the hospital, he quickley got Haley out and got the wheel chair out and sat Haley in it.
"Owww, owwww, owwwww!" Haley screamed.
"Just breath." Nathan said. "Ok, we need a doctor, my wife is having a baby!"
"Follow me." a nurse said calmly.
Nathan rushed down the halls following the nurse, telling Haley to keep breathing. They got to a room finally and the nurse got Haley ready and into a bed.
"Nathan, where are you going, don't leave me!" Haley yelled worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to check if Brooke and Lucas are here yet." he said kissing her cheek.
Brooke and Lucas were waiting in the waiting room when Nathan came out.
"Hey you guys, where's Braden?" he asked.
"My mom is at the house with him, we couldn't bring him." Lucas explained. "How's Haley doing?"
"She's scared, so I better get back in there." Nathan said walking away.

"How are we doing in here?" the doctor asked as he came in the room. It was a little over an hour later.
"Oh, I'm fine, but the kid won't be if it doesn't come out in about 10 seconds!" Haley said. She was starting to get very impatient because she kept getting pains but then they would go away.
"Its ok, were moving along slowly, you just have to be patient." the nurse explained.
"How about I just start pushing now." Haley said sarcastically.
"Well, good luck with that, your only dialated 5 centimeters." the doctor said laughing.
Haley was really angry now.
"Don't get all stressed out, Hales, these things take time." Nathan said massaging her shoulders.
"Do you have a living, breathing thing inside of you right now that's pushing on your bladder?" Haley asked, meanly.
"No, but-" Nathan said.
"Then shut up!" she yelled.
Nathan decided at that point it was time to go see what Brooke and Lucas were doing.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Hey Peyton, when did you get here?" Nathan asked when he went to the waiting room.
"A couple minutes ago I came as soon as my class was over." she explained. "How's Haley?"
"Um, a little...stressed." Nathan said, trying to find the right word.
"Its not going to well?" Brooke asked worriedly.
"No, its just going slower than expected." he said.
"Nathan, we need you back in here." the nurse inturrupted.
"Ok." he said worried and confused.
"It'll be all right, Nate." Brooke said sympathetically.
Nathan got back in the room and Haley was crying.
"What's wrong?" he asked, scared.
"Were going to go ahead with a C-section because the baby's upside down and were not getting anywhere with this, its just the best thing to do." the doctor explained.
"The baby's going to be ok, right?" Haley asked worriedly.
"Yes, we do C-sections all the time, don't worry about it." the doctor said with a reassuring smile. They got Haley to a different room and got her ready.
Five minutes later...
"Haley, I'll be here the whole time, don't worry." Nathan said.
"That's right, Nathan, just keep talking to her, were almost done here." the doctor said as he worked on getting the baby out.
"I'm proud of you, Hales." Nathan said as he held her hand and kept her occupied.
"Thank you." she said, scared.
Suddenly they heard crying and looked over at the doctor. "Haley and Nathan, this is your new baby girl."
They both smiled happily as the baby cried and moved around. She looked just like Haley, but had Nathan's eyes.
"She's so beautiful, Nathan." Haley said, crying happy tears.
"I know because she looks just like you." he said smiling, then kissing her.
"So, what's this little girls name?" the doctor asked curiously, and because she had to know.
Haley looked sad because she wanted a certain name through the whole pregnancy but Nathan didn't like it so they had to pick one they both liked.
"Kiara-" Haley began but got inturrupted by Nathan.
"No." he looked at Haley and smiled. "Gabriella ann Scott."
Haley smiled, happily and nodded her head. "Yea." she kissed him, then broke the kiss. "Thank you."
"No problem, you love that name and I love you, so you got it." he said kissing her again.
"Ok, you can hold her now." the nurse said, bringing the wrapped up baby to them and handing it to Haley.
"Hi Gabby." she said in a quiet voice, kissing her head.
"This is our miracle baby." Nathan said holding her tiny fingers.
"I didn't think we would get this far with all the complications, I'm so happy she's here now." Haley said crying again.
"I know, is it even possible to love somebody this much when you just met them?" Nathan asked, amazed.
"It is when that somebody is your daughter." Haley said smiling at him.
"Oh my god, I have a daughter." he said, just realizing that that little girl was really his. "She's the first girl Scott besides you and my mom."
Haley kissed her again. "Well, then that makes her pretty special."
