A/N: Here is another chapter…a little later than normal, but I still have it done. Enjoy!


Brooke looks towards the door to her hospital room and cries out loud when she spots her daughter walk through it with Lucas close behind her.

"My baby."

Lucas places Sophia on the bed minding Brooke's hurt leg.

"Mama, you okay?"

Brooke smiles as her daughter lies down next to her.

"Yeah, baby, I'm going to be okay. You're here and you'll make everything okay."

"Kiss your ouchie?" Sophia asks gently.

Brooke smiles and shakes her head.

"Not now baby, but I'll settle for my cheek."

Sophia kisses Brooke's cheek and giggles.

"Daddy, come sit."

Lucas smiles at his daughter and takes a seat next to Brooke's bed.

"How'd it all turn out?"

"Jimmy injured you and Dan and shot himself. Jimmy's dead."

"Is Dan going to be okay?"

Lucas nods his head.

"The bullet was a ricochet against the locker. It settled into his side, but it was deep enough to embed in his skin so they brought him into surgery to remove it."

"He's going to live, right?"

Lucas nods his head and Brooke looks at her daughter who is busy messing with the remote to the TV.

"I think Dan should meet Sophia," Brooke says as she turns back to Lucas.

"Is there a reason why everyone is waiting here. I mean everyone is okay, Brooke's okay?" Peyton asks as Nathan and Haley just stare off into space.

Haley turns to Peyton.

"After seeing Lucas okay and with Brooke in his arms, Karen went into labor. They're getting situated."

Peyton smiles slightly.

"Then I hope those twins are born today so we have something good to celebrate on this day."

Nathan nods his head in agreement.

"I'm waiting for Dan to get out of surgery as well."

Haley grabs her husband's hand.

"Is he going to be okay?"

Nathan nods his head.

"Yeah, I just want to talk to him. I want to know why he went into the school."

"Why'd you?" Peyton asks.

The teen who walked into the waiting room answers the question for her.

"Because he went in for the ones he loved."

Peyton turns around in a hurry.

"Jake!"

Peyton get up from her seat and runs her way into Jake's open arms. Jake kisses Peyton softly.

"I'm glad you're okay."

"Me too," Peyton wipes the tears from her face. "Not that I'm not happy you're here, but why are you here?"

Jake smiles at his girlfriend as Nathan and Haley smile at them.

"I won the custody battle and to top it all off, Nikki signed over her parental rights. I get to keep Jenny forever and Nikki can't do a thing about it."

"Jake, that's great!" Peyton exclaims. "Come sit down and we'll fill you in on what happened."

"God this hurts worse than with Lucas," Karen grunts out as another contraction hit.

Keith smiles and kisses Karen's sweaty forehead.

"Alright Mrs. Scott, are you ready to push?" the doctor asks with a smile.

"As ready as I'll ever be."

"Alright, push."

Karen pushes until she can't push anymore.

"Alright Karen, the head is crowning, all we need is one big push and your son or daughter will be out. Come on one push!"

"Come on Karen, you can do this!"

Karen pushes and Keith smiles when he hears the cries. Keith looks at the baby and smiles.

"Our son was born first."

After cleaning little Levi off, the nurse hands over the baby to Karen.

"Hi there little guy."

"He's so beautiful," Keith says with a bright smile.

Karen groans and the nurse takes Levi.

"Alright Karen, it looks like your daughter is crowning so one more big push."

"I can't," Karen cries out. "It hurts."

Keith grabs Karen's hand and kisses it.

"It's alright Karen, come on, one more push."

Soon another round of cries was heard and all Karen and Keith could do was smile.

"Wow, that's so cool," Lucas says as he takes a look at his brother and sister through the window.

"Yeah, it is," Keith says with a smile.

Lucas turns to Keith. "What are their middle names?"

"Levi Keith Scott and Lily Roe Scott," Keith says proudly.

"That's perfect."

Lucas and Keith continue to look at the babies until Lucas speaks up.

"Brooke wants Dan to meet Sophia."

Keith turns to look at his son.

"What do you think about it?"

"Brooke said it was up to me, but I really don't know what to do. I mean Dan came into that school and got me out of there without any trouble. Why'd he do that?"

"Despite what he has done, I think somewhere Dan loves you Lucas. I know I am legally your father, but Dan is still technically your father whether he admits that or not. Nathan was in that school too."

"So, you think I should let my daughter meet him."

"All that I am saying is that it's your decision and Brooke's, but eventually Sophia will learn the truth and when she does what's going to stop her from seeing him then?"

~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~/~~~

"Why'd you do it? Why'd you go into the school?" Nathan questions when he enters Dan's room.

Dan glances at Nathan.

"Because you and Lucas were in that school other than that, I don't know."

"You saved him, Lucas and Brooke. You made sure that Sophia didn't lose her parents like we lost you."

Nathan sits down in a nearby chair.

"I've made mistakes Nathan. I know that. I let everything just get the best of me. My jealousy and my anger, my sadness, my pride, I just let it get ahead of me. But I am proud of you and Lucas. You became a man and Lucas became a man. You have a wonderful wife and Lucas has a daughter. I just screwed everything up."

Nathan stands up from his chair with a small smile.

"I knew Dan Scott still had a heart."

Nathan leaves the room as Lucas walks inside with Sophia holding his hand.

"Lucas, I'm surprised to see you here."

"I'm not here for me. I have someone that I would like you to meet."

Lucas picks up Sophia and sits her on the bed as Dan sits up.

"Sophia this is your grandpa Dan."

"Like Grandpa Keif."

Lucas chuckles.

"Yeah baby, like grandpa, Keith."

Sophia turns to Dan with a smile.

"Hello."

"Hi," Dan says with a grin.
