Chapter 8

Set nine months from time of the ending of the last chapter…

"Zoe-Zoe! Come on little girl! Shopping time." Brooke said as she tried to get her fussy ten and a half month old dressed.

"Thop?" The child asked. "Shop" had been her first word.

"Yea baby, now come on, we have to get daddy his surprise. Remember?"

The baby nodded and let her mommy finish getting her dressed.

One hour later in the mall

"Mommy!" Zoey yelled as she pointed to the merry-go-round.

Brooke sighed and carried the child to the ride and they sat down in the little booth instead of on one of the horses, Zoey was scared of them. The ride began to fill up and a familiar red head came to Brooke and Zoey's seat.

"May I?" she asked.

Brooke looked up, "Rachel?!" she exclaimed, Rachel had disappeared shortly after the shooting.

Rachel gave Brooke a smirk and sat down. The two said nothing for a few moments.

"What is this cutie's name?" Rachel asked tickling Zoey a bit.

Brooke pulled her baby from Rachel's reach and settled her in her lap. "Zoey Madison." She told the other girl. Rachel just smirked and nodded.

"How is everyone is this god forsaken place nowadays?"

Brooke couldn't believe Rachel was actually trying to be nice to her, the two of them hated one another, especially after everything Rachel had done to Haley and Nathan's relationship, she almost single handedly ruined the fairytale romance for the both of them.

"Haley's having a baby, she is due any day, you better stay the hell away from Nathan or so help me I will slit your throat." Brooke said in a dangerous tone.

"Is that the mouth you kiss your daughter with?" Rachel returned.

Brooke was getting mad. "Why are you here Rachel? What has made you want to come back? To ruin everyone's lives? We are all so happy, why now!" she couldn't take it anymore; she just grabbed Zoey and jump off the still moving ride and left the mall.

That night- Karen, Aubrey Haley, Nathan, and Peyton are at Brucas' apartment

"Happy Birthday to you! Happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Lucas/Broody/Luke, happy birthday to you!" Everyone sang to Lucas as he sat in front of his birthday cake.

Lucas just smiled and held both his daughter. The girl giggled, she had no clue what was going on but she smiled as if she knew everything.

After the singing was over Lucas blew out his candles. "What did you wish for?" Brooke asked taking Zoey off Luke's lap.

"You know I can't tell you that! It will never come true!" he replied in a childish voice.

Brooke pouted and gave her fiancée big puppy dog eyes. Lucas grabbed her and set her on his knee. "I wished to be with you forever babe." He told her as he gave her a passionate kiss.

"MOMA!" Zoey yelled, breaking the two apart. She was squished in the middle of the two. They reluctantly broke apart and Lucas kissed her forehead.

"Time for presents!" Haley announced as she handed Lucas a small box.

Ten minutes later, Lucas had a fossil watch, a billion new shirts, an awesome hand drawn picture of him, Brooke and Zoey, and two brilliant, well brilliant to him, and scribbled pictures from Aubrey and Zoey. He looked at Brooke expectantly.

"Okay, its nothing big, but I'm sure you're going to like it." Brooke said as she handed him a rectangular box wrapped in light blue paper.

He tore excitedly through the paper and ripped open the box. Inside was a tiny Raven's jersey. "Babe, I can't fit into this, trust me." He said holding it up for everyone to see.

"Keep looking Luke, there is more in there."

He sifted through all the brightly colored tissue paper and found a small frame, decorated with the Ravens' school colors and at the top said BABY SCOTT. He gasped when he looked at the picture. It was an ultrasound.

"Does this mean what I think Brooke?"

"Yea, we are having a baby."

He looked at her completely amazed, he was having another baby, THEY were having another baby! This was one of the greatest moments of his life! He grabbed her and kissed her.

"Break it up you two!" Nathan scolded; he always got in trouble for PDAs with Haley now they were doing it. Haley hit his arm and cleared her throat. The two broke apart.

"Congratulations guys, I'm so happy for you, we are just have bunches of new babies lately aren't we? Peyton you better not be pregnant." Karen warned. Peyton laughed and shook her head.

"I'm okay with my role as god mother, I'm not ready to be just mother."

An hour later

Everyone had left, leaving Brooke and Lucas alone, Zoey had already gone to bed.

"Are you sure you want to have another baby?" Lucas asked

"A little late for that, we only have seven more months until this little one comes along."

"Not what I mean, are you happy about this?" he asked

"Yes, I want a boy, it will be our last for a while though, this little one and Zoey are only going to be like 16 months apart."

Lucas was about to say something else but a crash rang through the apartment, followed by Zoey's cries.

"ZOEY!" The young parents yelled in unison as they ran to their daughter's room.

The window was broken, glass was everywhere. Zoey's bed was empty….

What happened to Zoey? Who took her? Is Haley ever going to have her baby? What will it be? Review and tell me what you think about this chapter!
