Chapter 21Becca's Surgery and another Birth
Rebecca was a little stronger and they could no longer wait for her surgery, Haley sat by her incubator with tears in her eyes. "You have to be okay, you have to come through this surgery 'cause I love you so much." It was still a closed incubator so all that she could do was just look at her little girl and pray. "Mrs. Scott?"
Haley turned around and glanced at the nurse who was holding a little bundle in her arms, "Her fever broke in the night and she's already 6 pounds, I think that she's wanted her mommy."
She laid little Devin in her mother's arms, "Oh my sweetheart! I have been waiting for this moment for such a long time, when that horrible Rachel took you from me I was so worried but your Uncle Lucas brought you back to me."

Two days later it was time for the surgery, Brooke sat in the waiting room with Lucas by her side. "Do you think that she'll be alright?"
"I hope so, she was so small but she's a Scott and a fighter." Lucas hoped that he was right, he saw Nathan holding his other little girl while Haley held her sons. He got up and sat next to his brother.
Nathan was thrilled that his brother was there for him, "Oh man…I'm so worried, she's my little girl and I feel like I should've been able to keep her safe. What kind of a father am I? I let one little girl get kidnapped and now I feel so helpless again while my other little girl is fighting for her life."
"I know how ya feel, I felt the same way when the boys were born and then again when Austin was hurt. I'm not sure if I told you or not, but hearing that you and Hales were there for Brooke and my sons made it a lot easier. While Austin was in the hospital you took great care of Seth, and you're going to be a great daddy." Lucas said patting his brother's back.

The surgery lasted for 9 hours and then Rebecca's recovery was another two hours, finally the doctor came out to talk to them.
"How is she doctor?" Nathan asked hoping that his voice would sound stronger, he and Haley were alone with Jake and Peyton because Lucas wanted Brooke to get some sleep since her due date was coming up.
The doctor smiled, "She's doing better than even I expected of course she's back in the incubator. I think that she'll be ready for you to take her home very soon."
Haley smiled, "When can we see her?"
"Right now, but the other babies must stay out here." Haley and Nathan glanced at Jake and Peyton who nodded.
They both hurried down the corridor to see their little girl, she was so pale and small. "I cannot wait for the day that we can take all the children home to our new house."
"We will soon Hales, we're going to have a beautiful family and Brooke and Peyton are still planning that huge baby shower for you." Haley smiled thinking of a very pregnant Brooke on the phone with caterers.
"I want to throw Brooke one too, I know! I'll talk to Peyton and we'll surprise Brooke with a double baby shower!" Haley said happily while sitting next to Nathan and their little girl.

Brooke woke up during the night, "Luke wake up! Lucas!" She whispered loudly shaking his arm.
"What is it baby?" He said sitting up, "Are you alright? Did you wet the bed?" He asked feeling the mattress wet.
Brooke shook her head, "I…I think the baby's coming!" Lucas helped her get dressed and was thrilled the hotel was across from the hospital.
He carried her in, "My wife Brooke Scott…she's having a baby!"
Brooke was taken into the maternity ward, she was only 4 centimeters dilated so they still had quite a while to go. "Lucas…go and check on Haley and tell our friends, call your mom…I want the boys to be here."
"Alright, you just hang in there…I won't be gone long baby." Lucas kissed her softly as she munched her ice chips.
Lucas found Jake and Peyton still in the waiting room, "Brooke's having the baby, I just called mom she's on her way here with the boys, Keith is staying with Jenny and Dakota."
"Congrats man." Jake said smiling, "Your bro and Haley are in there with Rebecca, she came through the surgery great."
Lucas put on a hospital gown and walked into the NICU, "Hey guys, she's doing good huh?"
"Yeah, gah we were so worried but here she is and her color is getting better, how come you're here I thought you were taking Brooke to the hotel to rest?"
"Well she's having the baby, the doc said that it could be a while, but she wanted yall to know." Haley and Nathan hugged him.

Peyton left Jamie, Ryan, and little Devin with Jake while she went to check on Brooke. With Rachel still on the loose she didn't want Brooke alone too long, "Hey B, how ya doing?"
"Well aside from the piercing pain I'm pretty good, Tammy's going to be okay…she won't have to be in that awful NICU."
"I'm really happy for you guys." Peyton said holding Brooke's hand through another contraction.
Brooke sighed when it was done, "When I had the boys it was a nightmare, all the blood and they rushed me straight into the OR." Tears filled her eyes….
"Mrs. Scott just hang in there while we get these babies." Brooke heard the doctors voice faintly, she heard nurses telling him that she was losing too much blood. She remembered calling for Lucas, he hadn't been allowed into the OR with her.
"Baby A is a little boy, he's a strong one." She heard a faint baby cry and her heart broke, would she live to see her babies?
"He's got a little brother." This time there wasn't a cry and tears streamed down her cheeks, "Clean him and place him in that Oxygen tent…now!" The doctor ordered.
"It was terrible, but the doctors got the bleeding stopped and when I woke up three days later Lucas was there, he told me that Seth was doing great…but Austin…it seemed like he just couldn't catch a break."
Tears filled Peyton's eyes, "Oh sweetie…I wish that I'd been there for you…but I'm here now and this little girl will be strong and she'll cry and cry."
Six hours later it was time, Lucas was able to come into the delivery room with her, "Gah it hurts!" She screamed.
"I know, but she's almost out baby…I see the head! She's got dark hair like you!" Lucas said happily.
Soon a baby's cry filled the room, "Would you like to cut the cord daddy?" The doctor asked smiling.
Tears filled Lucas' eyes and he nodded, "Brooke…we've got a beautiful little girl."
"Congratulations, your daughter is 6 pounds and 9 ounces and healthy as can be." The doctor said after she was cleaned up, he placed her in Lucas' arms.
"Hi Tammy, I'm your daddy. I love you so much baby girl." He said kissing her soft brown curls.
He laid the baby next to Brooke so that she could see her, "You were right doc…she's pretty beautiful. Take her and show her off Broody!"
Lucas picked Tammy back up and took out to see the group, "Here she is Tammy Elizabeth Scott."
Haley and Peyton wiped tears from their eyes, "She's perfect!" Peyton said happily, "How's the mommy?"
"She's doing great." He started to go back into the devlivery room, but he heard two happy voices yelling daddy. "Nate could you hold her?"
Nathan held his neice happily while Seth and Austin ran into their father's arm followed by a running Karen.
"Daddy we've missed you!" Seth said happily when he daddy picked him and his brother up.
Lucas smiled, "I've missed you guys…I have a surprise for you…this is your little sister."
"She's pretty." Seth said touching Tammy's little hand, "Is mommy okay?"
"Yeah, mommy's okay you'll be able to see her soon. She had to have her boys here, we love you guys." Lucas and Brooke were determined that their sons would feel loved, that they would never feel unwanted now that they had a little sister.
They all took turns holding the baby except for the boys, then it was time for Tammy to be placed in the nursery.
