Well this last episode was a little depressing so I think we need something to make it a little better…You guys are amazing with your reviews! It was pretty obvious who you wanted to be the father 16 for Lucas 1 for Chris…but you'll just have to keep reading to see what I did…oh and I don't really think they would test the baby right after she was born but this I am definitely going to take some liberties so sorry if anyone thinks its too unrealistic
There are always pinnacle points in your life you'll look back and remember vaguely, The first time you rode a bike. Or the first time you learned how to swim. They are in your memory but maybe all the details are a little foggy. And then there are moments so important you know they won't be forgotten. Like the birth of your child. Which for most people looking back might be one of the happiest days of their lives. Finally the drama was over and they could relax. They had their child and were ready to start a family. Brooke Davis was obviously not most people. The drama was always just beginning for her.
"What are you doing here?" Brooke stared at him in disbelief. Damn this was all Rachel's fault.
"Well, that could be a little Keller," He said walking closer to Brooke who held her baby tighter. Seriously why did she let Rachel talk her into telling him?…
"Brooke, you slept with him too. There's a fifty/ fifty chance that it's his and not Lucas'. You have to tell him."
"Even if the baby is biologically his, that will be Lucas' child." Brooke replied forcefully. Telling Chris Keller. What a stupid idea.
"Will it? Cause right now, Lucas won't even talk to you. You can't raise this baby by yourself and I'm sure as hell not going to play father to that thing. But at least then you'll have someone in your life." Rachel reasoned.
"But I don't want that someone. Having no one is better than having Chris Keller."
"Just think about what I said, ok?" Rachel said getting up. "I have a class, but seriously go talk to him."
And she did think about it. And like an idiot decided that Rachel was right. And it was the most awkward conversation she had ever had in her entire life. She finally worked up the courage to blurt out she was pregnant and he just laughed it off and didn't even seem to care. At that moment Brooke had never felt more alone in her life. But then she and Lucas started talking again and that's when she realized. She was never alone. Yes, she and Lucas fought but at the end of the day even if they weren't dating, even if, and she was praying it wasn't true, he wasn't the father of her baby, he would still be her best friend. She just hoped she would still be his.

Lucas sat outside in the waiting room unsure of what to do. In a couple of hours, minutes, seconds, he didn't know how long this was going to take, he would find out if he were really the father of Brooke's baby. And either result he was scared of what would happen. Chris was awkwardly on the other side of the room neither guy wanting to sit to close to the other. And Lucas didn't know where Rachel was nor did he care. Haley and Nathan were on their way to the city and Lucas was wishing they would get here already. He needed someone to talk to.
"IF you gentlemen will follow me back into the room," The doctor walked out holding a clipboard which was really annoying Lucas. This wasn't some soap opera. Why did they have to drag everything out? Couldn't you just say who the father was?
Lucas zoned out the rest of what the doctor was saying just waiting for the part he needed to hear.
"Congratulations Lucas, you are the father of a beautiful baby girl."
Brooke could barely contain her excitement. If she were able to jump out of bed and run and kiss him she would have. She knew it had to be Lucas', there was no way around it.
Chris stormed out the room without so much of a goodbye which was fine by Brooke. Leaving the two finally alone.
"You know we haven't named her yet." Brooke turned to Lucas.
"I know what do you like?"
"I like Mary-Kate."
"Brooke we are not naming our baby after an Olsen twin."
"Why not? Do you know how successful they are? And they were discovered when they were babies."
"That doesn't mean anything. Your name is Brooke but that doesn't mean you are going to be the next Brooke Shields."
"What about Elizabeth?" Lucas suggested.
"Liz. Lizzie. Oh we could call her Lizzie McGuire!"
"We could but we won't."
"I like it. Elizabeth Scott. She's the prettiest baby I've ever seen in my life."
"Yeah did you see some of those other ones?" Lucas turned away causing Brooke to crack up. There was a moment of silence just listening to their baby falling asleep in her mother's arm.
"Lucas, I'm scared. I'm scared I'm not going to be a good mom and that I'll make the same mistakes my parents did with me…"
"Hey, it's ok. I'm here for you….pretty girl. And you know what you probably will make mistakes, but we'll make them together. I love you Brooke." He pulled her in a hug and she buried her face in his shoulder."
"I love you too."
So yes, Brooke Davis was not most people. Maybe she didn't have the perfect beginning when her baby was born. But she had the perfect ending. And really, that's the most important part.
