Chapter Six: Goodbye to you

Disclaimer- I own nothing at all, except Zoey!

"I'm sorry but we lost her" The words played in Lucas' head like a CD on permanent replay.

"What do you mean, I was here last night, and she was just fine!" he cried. Brooke couldn't be dead, she just couldn't!

The doctor stared at the ground. "I'm sorry son," he whispered, "All Brooke's brain activity stopped this morning, we called her parents, they said pull the plug, but I wanted you to see her one last time."

Lucas fell to the floor. Did God just truly hate him? Why was he taking Brooke away?

"Go in, you can have as much time as you need. I'll even let you go get Zoey, but just for ten minutes." The doctor tried.

Lucas nodded, that was best, Zoey needed to see her mommy. "Can I go get her after I see Brooke?" he asked

Rosebud nodded then opened the door for Lucas. The teenager stood and slowly walked in. There was his Brooke, pale and lifeless. Why was this happening? She didn't deserve this. Rosebud shut the door quietly and left the boy alone.

"Lord, why are you doing this? She is everything to me? Zoey needs a mother! TAKE ME!" he cried, he grabbed Brooke's still warm hand.

"Brooke, I'm sorry for everything, I should have never left you. I came back to propose to you, I wanted to be a part of the baby's life. Now I am and you won't be. It's too unfair; I would give anything to switch places with you." Fat tears fell down his face. "I'm going to get Zoe, I'll be back."

With a blown kiss he left to get his daughter. This would be Zoey's first time out of the bed besides for feeding and changing diapers. This little girl cooed when her daddy picked her up.

"Hi my Baby. We are going to see your mommy, you haven't seen her since the day you were born, but mommy is dying, sweetie, this will be the last time you see her." He chocked out, it was almost impossible.

He took this baby up to Brooke's room and set her on Brooke's stomach.

"This is your mommy Zoe, she loved you so much, she died for you." He told the baby/

Zoey opened her eyes and looked at Brooke like she understood. She began to cry.

"Shh baby" Lucas said as he reached for the infant. Before get got her Brooke's eyes flashed open.

"Brooke!" he breathed, how could this happen.

Brooke put her hand on the baby's tummy. She said nothing; just looked at Zoey and Lucas very confused.

Lucas hit the call button and nurse ran in. When he saw Brooke awake he ran to get Rosebud. The doctor came in.

"Brooke! Oh my gosh, this is extraordinary, I've never had a patient come out of a vegetated state before!" he said in awe.

Brooke gave him a weak smile and continued to look at Zoey.

"That is your daughter Brooke, and she needs to get back downstairs. Jack take her." Rosebud ordered. The male nurse picked up the baby and left the room.

"Brooke, you've been in coma for over a month. This morning all your brain activity stopped, when I called your parents they said to just pull the life support, I let Lucas and Zoey come see you before I did, which I see was a god idea."

Brooke nodded, but she was confused. "I have two children, where is Ashton?" she rasped.

Lucas and Rosebud were taken aback. "What are you talking about" Lucas asked, "We only have Zoey."

"Wait, I understand, Brooke, whilst in your comatose state, you dreamt you had both of your children instead of just the one, I know it seemed entirely real but it wasn't, you have been in a coma since your daughter's birth." The doctor explained.

Brooke began to cry, that dream was so real, her babies, both of them were fine, how could this happen? She just nodded and remained silent.

Two days later.

"Hey babe, please talk to me" Lucas whispered, he and Brooke were finally alone in her hospital room, a very rare occurrence.

Brooke hadn't spoken to him yet. Her body just had to much pent up anger, she was afraid to. The boy just kept chiding, she decided to finally speak.

"Why?" Was all she said.

"Why what?"

"Why did you leave me and our baby?" She had finally accepted the dream but still it sadden her to even think about it.

"I went to Charlotte. I thought you hated me, I was there the day Zoey was born, I knocked."

"I could never truly hate you Lucas Scott, I may say it out of anger, but I will never hate you. I love you with all my heart, I thought I wouldn't make it without you."

"Yea, Charlotte was terrible, but I got a job and bought this," he pulled a small ring from his pocket, "I want you to marry me. I cant wake up anymore in the morning without you being in the bed beside me, and losing you made me realize how much I need you, and Zoey."

She gasped, he did still love her! "I will Luke, I'm so sorry for everything."

He shook his head and slipped the ring on her finger.

Did you honestly think I would kill off Brooke? No way people! LOL, so what did you think? Tell me TELL ME!

Raindrops!
