Chapter 5- Sweet Child O' Mine

Disclaimer- i own nothing!

"Brooke is in need of a C-Section. The baby's heart rate is dropping as is Brooke's." Dr. Rosebud told the waiting group

"But the baby is too young! It will die!" Lucas yelled, he was the one who had been at the door when Brooke fainted.

"Do you want to lose both of them? At least now the baby has a chance!" The doctor snapped.

Lucas just sat down without a word.

"I'm sorry, I'm very worried about these two." She apologized. "Now I will send someone after we get the baby out.

Fifteen minutes later.

"Hi, are you here for Brooke Davis?" a nurse asked the group

"Yes, are her and the baby okay?" Haley jumped in.

"I don't know about Brooke but the baby is in NICU." The nurse replied.

Everyone stood and went back into the maternity wing "Who is the father?"

"Me, why?" Lucas asked shakily.

"You may go see her, you guys have to just look through this window, now suit up, and your baby is in the corner over there." The nurse said as he walked off.

Lucas quickly suited up. Just as he was about to walk into NICU, Karen grabbed his arm.

"So, my baby has a baby, her name is Zoey, Zoey Madison Scott." She whispered as she hugged him tightly. Lucas pulled back and kissed her cheek.

"I love you mom."

"Go see your baby son"

Lucas walked into the room and over to the bed with his child inside. Zoey, what a beautiful name for such a beautiful girl. My Zoey. He thought as he looked at her for the first time. She was so small and fragile looking, he was almost afraid to touch her.

He slipped his hand into the side of the bed hand rubbed the baby's head.

"Hi Babygirl! I'm your daddy" he whispered, "Your mommy picked out the most beautiful name, it means LIFE, you know."

The infant moved her head. Lucas pulled his hand out and looked at the big window, there was his family: Karen, Nathan, Haley, Peyton and Keith? He looked closer and the ghost disappeared. Lucas smiled, of course Keith would be there to see Lucas and Brooke's Zoey.

Dr Rosebud appeared in the window and motioned for him to come out.

"Well everyone, Brooke isn't doing so well. We have her hooked up on oxygen and almost lost her twice already. Just too much happened during her pregnancy. The baby will go home August 22, her original due date." Dr Rosebud reported grimly.

Everyone began to cry, it was so unfair that Brooke had to go through all of this! They all turned back to the window and Rosebud pulled Lucas aside.

"So, daddy, what is your daughter's name?" he asked

Lucas smiled despite himself. "Brooke picked it out, Zoey Madison Scott."

"Beautiful, I like it, Zoey Scott, isn't that adorable. I wish you the best of luck."

Lucas nodded, hat did he mean by just wishing him luck, what about Brooke and Zoey? Did he not expect them to make it?

The next month and a half passed slowly. Karen gave birth to Aubrey Brooke Scott just two days after Zoey was born. Lucas was jealous of his new sister, yes he was happy to have her, but it was unfair that Brooke and Zoey were setting in the hospital fighting for their lives and she got to go home just two days after she was born, so did Karen. He tried to swallow the jealousy but kept thinking about with the doctor told him "Good luck to YOU" Not to the loves of his life, just him.

On the bright side, Zoey was getting stronger everyday, but she was still small. She looked exactly like Brooke, same dimple, same hair color, same beauty mark, but her eyes were Lucas', which he was very proud of.

"Son, grab Aubrey, the hospital called, it's Brooke!" Karen yelled.

Lucas jumped up from his computer and grabbed his little sister out of her yellow bassinet and headed for the door.

He thought he would have to kill Karen because it took her so long to Aubrey's bag packed.

"Come on mom! Why does Brey need that many diapers? And two bottles!" he yelled.

"Son, calm down, when Zoey comes home and you have to pack her bag then you can put however much of everything you want in it, but Aubrey needs all of this, just quit yelling and I will get done much faster!"

Hospital

Finally the made it to Memorial Hospital. "Brooke Davis! BROOKE DAVIS!" Lucas yelled to the receptionist.

"Dr Rosebud will be right here." She replied calmly.

Lucas huffed and sat in one of those stupid uncomfortable waiting room chairs. After a few moments Rosebud came bustling in.

"Morning Scotts! Lucas come with me. Karen you and the baby just stay here." He ordered in a serious tone.

Lucas followed meekly, his whole body numb. Finally the two stopped on the third floor, Brooke's floor.

"I'm sorry, but we lost her……………..

YAY! I've finally updated, sorry it took so long, review and tell me what you think of Zoey's name and everything
