A/N-Another chapter and things are winding down in this season. So I hope you enjoy it.


It's been a month since Brooke kissed Lucas. They haven't talked about it, mostly because they are both afraid of what it means so they pretend that it hasn't happened and never said a word of it again.

Sophia received her gift from Nathan and Haley about a week ago. It was a musical bear and some gift cards for her to get clothes and toys.

Brooke woke up to the sound of Sophia's cries and she runs into her daughter's room.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

Brooke runs over to Sophia and feels her head. She gasps.

"Oh baby you're burning up."

Brooke hurries out into the kitchen and dials Lucas' number.

"Um hello."

"Lucas, I'm scared."

"Brooke what's wrong?"

"Well I told you that Soph was starting a little cold last week, but Luke she woke up crying and she's burning up. I don't know what to do."

Brooke waits for awhile and then she hears Karen's voice on the phone.

"Brooke, bring her to the emergency room so we can get her checked out. We will meet you there."

"Um, okay…okay."

Brooke hangs up the phone and runs to her daughter's room who is still crying.

"We are going on a little trip Sophia," Brooke says as she wipes the tears from her eyes. Brooke picks up Sophia and gets her ready and instantly runs out to her car and soon they are on their way to the hospital.


Nathan and Haley step off of the bus and grab their bags from the bottom of the tour bus.

"It's so good to be home," Haley exclaims with a smile.

Nathan laughs and kisses his wife.

"Me too. I missed everybody. We should go check on Brooke and I would like to see Sophia."

Haley nods her head and grabs her husband's hand.

"Let's go."


When Brooke got to the hospital, Karen, Keith, and Lucas were already there. The doctors took Sophia for testing and all Brooke could do was sit and wait for news from the doctor.

"I'm scared Luke. What if it's something serious?"

Lucas looks at the ground with guilty look but Brooke doesn't notice, however, Keith does.

"I'm sure she will be okay Brooke. Kids get sick it's the way it is."

Brooke turns to look at Lucas with tears in her eyes.

"Kids also die Lucas!"

Karen walks up to Brooke and grabs her hand.

"Come on Brooke, let's take a walk. We can talk for awhile."

Keith sits down next to Lucas and sighs.

"You never got tested did you?" Keith asks.

Lucas looks at his father sharply.

"How do you know about that?"

"Dan is my brother. He told me before he left that he has HCM and it's genetic. Said that we should get tested, but apparently you never have."

"Have you?" Lucas asks.

Keith shakes his head.

"Nope, but I think it's time I should. And you are doing it with me and I mean it."

"Dad, do you think it's Sophia's heart?"

"Most likely not, but this is why you need to get tested because Sophia could have HCM especially if you do."

"Dad, the results are 50/50 chances are you don't have it and I do."

Keith puts his hand on his son's shoulder.

"There's only one way to find out."


Nathan and Haley enter their apartment and are greeted by Deb.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" Nathan asks.

"Nathan, don't be rude!" Haley exclaims.

"Haley, it's okay but um. I know I was only supposed to watch your apartment and I know you just want to relax and everything but there has been some news."

Nathan grabs Haley's hand and they look at Deb.

"Sophia's in the hospital."


Karen and Brooke make their way to the cafeteria and they sit down.

"You have to stay calm Brooke."

Brooke looks at Karen with red puffy and tired eyes.

"I don't know if I can. It's all a little frustrating when I don't know what's wrong with my kid."

"That's what all mother's feel when they are here Brooke. This is one thing that a mother can't control and it's their child's sickness, but everything will be okay. I truly believe that."

Brooke smiles and nods her head.

"You're doing great with her by the way."


Nathan and Haley walk into the hospital followed by Peyton.

"Welcome home," Peyton says with a sad smile.

"I hope that Sophia is okay."

Peyton sighs and sits down in a waiting room chair.

"We all hope she's okay."

Haley and Nathan sit down next to Peyton and they wait.


"Well Lucas, we will have the results for you and your father in a couple of weeks. You're good to go…thanks for coming in," the doctor says before leaving the room.

Lucas finishes buttoning up his shirt and he looks at his father.

"Are you going to tell mom?"

Keith nods his head.

"I can't keep this from her, but we should probably head down to the waiting room and hopefully we will get answers about your daughter."


Brooke and Karen walked down to the waiting room and saw all her friends there including Nathan and Haley.

"Hey guys," Brooke says as she takes a seat next to Haley.

"It's going to be okay," Haley says as she grabs Brooke's hand.

Keith and Lucas walk into the waiting room and also take a seat.

Everyone sat in silence and a few minutes later a doctor stands in front of them.

"Can I speak with the parents of Sophia Scott?" the doctor asks.

Brooke and Lucas stand up and walk forward.

"My name's doctor Taylor and I ran the tests on your daughter. After we ran some tests and got a chest x-ray we found that your daughter has pneumonia and it is very treatable. We will give her a round of antibiotics and at home she needs plenty of fluids and rest and she should be good as new."

Brooke and Lucas sigh out their relief.

"Can we go see her?" Lucas asks.

Doctor Taylor nods her head.

"Follow me."

And they do.


After waiting awhile Nathan and Haley thought it was best to leave the family alone and so did Peyton.

"I hope everything is okay," Nathan says as they exit the hospital.

"We all do. Sophia's first sickness and Brooke managed to do everything right without freaking out," Haley says.

Nathan and Haley watch as Peyton shakes her head.

"She's barely holding on."

"What makes you say that?" Haley asks.

"I know her."

Brooke sits down next to her daughter's side as tears roll down her cheeks. Lucas walks over to Brooke and pulls her into a hug as he lets her cry against his shoulder.

"I'm scared Luke."

"You got her here Brooke and you heard the doctor, Sophia is going to be fine."

"That's not all I'm scared about."

Lucas kisses the top of Brooke's head because he knows why she's scared and it's for the exact reason that he is too.


Nathan and Haley walk inside their home and sit down on the couch.

"It's good to be home and we managed to do all our work so we won't be missing anything the last month of school. I think we did alright," Haley says with a smile.

Nathan nods his head and looks through the huge amount of mail on the table. He finds a letter of interest and he opens it and reads it. Nathan blinks and puts the letter down on the table.

"What is it Nathan?"

"It's from High Flyers. I got into the camp."
