A/N-First, I would like to say thank you to all of those who have reviewed…it was worth it. Also, the voting is done with as well…congrats it will end up being Brucas endgame. Here is the new chapter…
Brooke woke up in the arms of Lucas. After his speech last night he and Brooke cried until they couldn't cry anymore. Brooke knew she had a decision to make but she wasn't sure what she wanted quite yet, plus she still needed to tell her parents about it only they are half-way across the world.
Brooke looks up at sees that Lucas has his eyes open and he is looking at her.
"Why are you watching me sleep?" Brooke asks a little weirded out.
"I just wanted to make sure you were okay."
"I am for now…Lucas, I don't know what I want to do with this baby but I really want your opinion because it is half yours" Brooke says as she rests her hand on her belly.
Lucas sits up in the bed and looks at his ex.
"I meant what I said yesterday but if I was being forced into a decision right now I would say keep it" Lucas says as he looks at Brooke.
"Why?" Brooke asks.
"My mom was eighteen Brooke and Dan was a complete ass to her and never a father to me…I just guess that maybe we could actually be great parents, you know? To our son or our daughter the way my mom is to me."
Brooke looks at him shocked.
"That's quite an answer…Lucas, who knows about this pregnancy?"
"My mom and Keith, and Haley also knows."
"I told Peyton…are you going to tell Nathan?" Brooke asks.
"I don't know I'm just getting over the fact that Nathan is dating my best friend and we are starting to get along more…what the hell would I say to him?"
"How about hey Nate you're going to be an uncle congrats" Brooke says with a smile.
"Maybe…I had a suggestion for you though; you could talk to my mom about the pregnancy considering she went through it not too long ago." Lucas suggests.
"I don't know, your mom and Keith just got engaged I really don't want to ruin that" Brooke replies hesitantly.
"Brooke, its okay, just go talk to them…I think I have to talk to Nathan anyway."
"Okay."
Lucas approached the river court with a basketball in hand. Nathan was there shooting hoops. Nathan hears the sound of a ball bouncing other than his own and he turns around and sees Lucas.
"What's up man?" Nathan asks.
"Nothing, I wanted to tell you something though."
"Does it have anything to do with Haley because I am sick of the threats man…I love her and there's nothing you can do about that."
"I know and I'm stopping with the threats because she loves you too…but the real reason why I am here is because I have some news that I think you should know about it" Lucas states.
"What is it Lucas?" Nathan.
"Brooke's pregnant and you are going to be an uncle."
Nathan stares at Lucas in shock and drops his ball to the ground.
"No way, for real?" Nathan asks.
"Yep, for real…I'm going to be a dad and I'm scared as hell."
"Is Brooke keeping the baby?"
"I don't know but I think she might and if she does it means my life is going to change."
"You want to play some one-on-one?" Nathan asks.
"Yeah, that'd be great" Lucas says as he checks the ball to Nathan.
Keith walks into Dan Scott Motors in search of his little brother. Dan is sitting in his office when Keith walks in.
"Hey Danny" Keith says.
"Keith, what can I do for you?" Dan asks smugly.
"I just wanted to inform you that your older brother is getting married" Keith says with a smile on his face.
Dan just laughs at his brother.
"Taking my left over's older brother, nice."
"Whatever Danny, Karen and I are getting married and I just wanted to tell you."
"That's nice…hey so I hear Lucas might be a dad…boy is ruining his life, if you ask me."
"No, Danny nobody asked you and he is doing the right thing by staying by Brooke's side which is more than I can say for what you did with Karen."
"She didn't need me Keith, she had you."
Brooke walks hesitantly up to Karen's front door. Karen can see Brooke through the window and opens the door to let the young girl inside.
"How are you feeling Brooke?" Karen asks as they sit down on the sofa.
"Honestly, pretty scared and freaked out and exhausted" Brooke replies sadly.
"Brooke, I don't hate you…although, I'm not happy about this situation, I think I can get over it considering I know how you feel right now…do you know what you are going to do with the baby?"
"I'm leaning more towards an answer and Lucas said that he would go along with whatever I say but I just…I don't know" Brooke says defeated.
"When I was pregnant with Lucas, I was scared and I had no idea what I was going to do but after I thought about things I realized that I wanted him in my future…clearly you two aren't ready to be parents but Brooke you have Keith and I and your friends…you're not alone and whatever decision you make we will back you up a hundred percent, remember that" Karen says with a smile.
"How do you do that?" Brooke asks curiously.
"Do what?" Karen asks confused.
"Make me feel better by just a few words."
"I guess it takes practice but I think some of it is because I am a mom" Karen says with a smile.
"A mom" Brooke whispers.
Nathan and Haley are sitting in Nathan's apartment on the couch talking.
"Do, did Lucas tell you?" Haley asks.
"That he is going to be a dad."
Haley shakes her head.
"Yeah, he did…it's kind of weird to be honest I never would have thought it would be Lucas."
"I know what you mean but it could happen to any one of us…it happened to Jake and it could happen to me which is why sex is a big issue with me" Haley replies honestly.
"I know…you know Lucas and I aren't close but I just feel that he needs me you know…this may be the thing except for basketball that we bond with…I'm going to be an uncle" Nathan says with a smile.
Haley looks at him and smiles.
"Are you excited about being an uncle?" Haley asks.
"A little bit yeah, I also wouldn't be mad if they didn't want the baby."
"Same here."
Peyton and Jake are in Jake's living room talking and playing with baby Jenny.
"So, Jake it looks like you may not be the only dad in high school" Peyton says.
"Do you know if they came to a decision yet?" Jake asks.
Peyton shakes her head.
"No, but I know what Brooke is going to do."
"Isn't it a little weird for you?"
"Weird how?"
"You and Lucas had a thing but Brooke is pregnant."
"No, I don't actually…I think I was sick of being alone and needed the comfort although it was the wrong kind and I can be woman enough to admit it besides I have my eyes set on someone else" Peyton finishes with a smile.
"Really, who?"
"You."
Brooke is waiting at the river court for Lucas. She had called him a little while ago and said that she has made a decision and that she needed to tell him.
Lucas walks up to Brooke and smiles.
"Hey" he says.
"Hi" Brooke replies.
"So, what decision did you make?" Lucas asks.
"I have been thinking about this a lot and it may totally be the worst decision of my life or it might be a great one but what I do know is that I want to keep this baby…that's my decision."
Lucas walks closer to Brooke and puts his hand on her stomach.
"Then we are having this baby."
A/N-So, Brooke and Lucas are keeping the baby but that was going to be kind of obvious…anyway, new voting needs to take place, should they have a boy or a girl? I am leaning more towards one then the other but I again will leave it up to you readers. REVIEW PLEASE!!!
