This story has been pretty much dragging on lately so I kind of skip ahead later (and I know colleges get out before May but I took some liberties)… sorry…I didn't get too may reviews last chapter :( so if you're reading please review!

"You're pregnant," Lucas repeated slowly trying to process it. Brooke stared at him for fear of what was to come. She was afraid he was going to blow up at her for not telling him sooner or just storm out. Instead, to her surprise, he pulled her into a long hug and didn't let go.

"Are you ok?" He asked inhaling the scent of her shampoo.

She nodded against his chest happy but yet still extremely confused. Did this mean that Lucas forgave her? Or was this because he felt sorry for her. They stayed that way for a while longer, neither wanting to be the first to break it off. It was Brooke who needed to lie down.

"So you're not mad?" Brooke tried to study his face searching for anything that would indicate he was lying as she pulled the covers on top of her.

"No." He paused for a minute, trying to find the right words.

Because do you know what I realized? I'm in love with you Brooke Davis. I've always loved you, and I always will. And it doesn't matter that I kissed someone and you were with someone else. What matters is that we're having a baby."

"Lucas." She gave him another hug, this time much shorter. That was the sweetest thing anyone had ever said to her. They talked for a little while about what was going on with the others lives until Brooke eventually drifted off to sleep. Lucas just lay in her bed thinking about all that was going on in their lives. They could never just be happy. Something always stood in the way. But maybe this baby was a blessing in disguise. I mean, it could bring the two of them together and it seemed to be working. But then if the baby was born and it wasn't his, they would probably be back to stage one. HE couldn't even imagine the baby not being his though. Ever since they were babies he knew they would have kids together. But even if it didn't turn out to be his, he would still treat the baby as if it were his own. Because in his mind that was his and Brooke's baby. BUT inside he hoped that it was biologically his too.

Brooke and Lucas stayed strong for the next few months. He would come up and visit her as much as he could. Seeing if she needed anything and things like that. They were also building their relationship back up. They were taking it slow and not quite at the point they were before all the drama, but getting there. And everyday they would write each other letters. To everyone else it was stupid, but to them the letters meant the world. They didn't have to say much. Just a quick 'Today was good' or 'Hope to see you soon!'. Those were only the days they were busy. For Brooke writing to Lucas actually calmed her down and for one time during the day didn't stress about her ever-growing belly. So on May 23, when Brooke sat down to write her letter she didn't feel calm or relaxed. Her stomach was killing her and she was unsure why. She tried to adjust herself and in doing so noticed a wet spot forming underneath her.

"Rachel," she called grabbing her jacket and some necessities. "We have to go to the hospital right now!" "And call Lucas"

"I'm looking for a Brooke Davis," Lucas ran into NYU hospital so fast he thought he was going to fall over. As soon as Rachel had called him a couple of hours before, he got here as fast as he could.

"Down the hall to the left," the nurse answered.

"Lucas pushed open the door and while it was a pretty unpleasant sight realized he had just made it.

"Okay Brooke you're almost there. The head is about to come out, I just need you to push."

"I'm pushing! I've been pushing! Why won't this damn baby come out?" She yelped in pain and Lucas ran over and took Rachel's spot of holding Brooke's hand.

"Thank god." Rachel muttered, "I think she broke my thumb,"

"Lucas, you're here. I can't do this"

"Yeah and I'm not going anywhere. C'mon Brooke you are the strongest person I know. You can do this."

It's not like Lucas' words magically made it any faster. So with Brooke screaming and a little more pushing the baby finally was born.

"Congratulations you two. You have a beautiful baby girl." The doctor handed the baby to Brooke as the door opened once more revealing none other than Chris Keller.

"Or we might have a beautiful baby girl"

I want to know your opinions. Should it really be Lucas' or would it be better to be Chris' and add some drama. Please Review!
