CHAPTER 20

Lucas recovered after a while, he knew that he had to be strong. So he stood up shakily and looked at the paramedic that had just put Brooke into the ambulance.

"Is she going to be okay?" Lucas asked desperately.

The man looked at him sympathetically. "I don't know."

The man then started to enter the ambulance.

"Wait!" Lucas exclaimed as the paramedic almost closed the door. "Can I go too?"

The man nodded and let him in.

Lucas sat down and stared at Brooke who was unconscious in front of him. He didn't know what happened, or what was wrong with her. He just wished that she would wake up. Brooke, aside from Haley, was like a sister to him, he didn't want anything bad happening to her.

But all he could do now was watch as the paramedics worked around her.

He took a good look at her, and was relieved when he saw that she had no burns on her. She just looked like she was sleeping.

He looked at her sadly, then placed his head in his hands as his tears returned.

He sobbed quietly as the paramedics checked her pulse.

--------------

"There! You happy now?" Haley said as she entered the car exhaustedly.

Nathan entered as well and stared down at the blue, velvet box in his hand. He smiled and nodded. "Yeah."

Haley leaned her head back on the headrest. "I can't believe you made me go to thirteen different stores with you, even though you still ended up buying a ring from the first store we went to."

"It wasn't that bad," Nathan argued.

"Whatever," Haley said as she felt her eyelids becoming heavy, and she yawned. "Just shut up and drive."

Nathan laughed and put the car in drive.

--------------

Peyton was driving home as she thought about everything that was going on.

Chase was sweet, Chris was cool, and Felix has been her long-time friend.

Chase treated her nicely and was such a gentlemen, Chris was so easy to talk to, and Felix read her like a book.

They were all great guys.

But she hadn't even seen any of them today.

She figured that Chris was busy and Felix was still embarrassed about what happened. But she thought she would have seen Chase since he asked her out.

Peyton was about to think about it some more, but her phone interrupted her thoughts.

Lucas.

Peyton smiled and answered, "Hey loser what's up?...What?...What happened?...Okay Lucas calm down...I'll be there as fast as I can...Bye."

Peyton hung up and made a U-turn.

She had to get to the hospital.

And fast.

---------------

Lucas sat in the waiting room as he waited for Peyton.

They had taken Brooke into a room already, and he hasn't heard anything.

"Lucas," Peyton exclaimed as she walked over and sat next to him.

She opened her arms to him and he accepted. He fell into her arms and cried as she rubbed his back.

After a while Peyton spoke, "So where's Haley?"

Lucas pulled away from her and looked down.

"You haven't called her!" Peyton exclaimed loudly, which made some people look in their direction, but Peyton ignored them.

"No," Lucas answered quietly as he continued to look down.

"Lucas look at me," she said firmly. When he looked at her she continued, "You are going to call her, and you're going to stay strong throughout the whole thing, okay?"

Lucas nodded.

"Okay here," Peyton gave him her phone. "Do it."

Lucas looked at the phone in his hands then looked back up and Peyton. "Can't you do it?"

"I could...but don't you think it would be better if Haley hears it from you," she said.

Lucas let out a sigh and started dialing the number's.

He knew this wasn't to go well.

---------------

Nathan had been parked in front of Haley's house for a while now, with Haley asleep in the seat next to him. He didn't have the heart to wake her up, so he just tried to go to sleep as well, but then he heard a phone vibrating and he knew it wasn't his, since he never puts it on vibrate, so he knew it was Haley's.

Problem was, that her phone in her jeans pocket, and he couldn't get it without waking her up, so he just shook her gently.

She awoke, and looked over at Nathan.

"What?" she said with a slight yawn.

"Your phone's ringing," Nathan informed her.

She answered sleepily. "Hello?...Oh hey Lucas...What's wrong...Well you sound a little funny...And is Peyton with you?...I could've sworn I heard her telling you, 'to just say it'...You have to tell me something?...Well what is it?...What do you mean it's about Brooke?...What about her?..."

Nathan watched as Haley's facial expression went from confused to sorrowful.

"No...no, no, no," Haley said into the phone. "Don't lie to me Lucas!...It can't be...Is she going to be okay?...What do you mean you don't know?...You better find out Lucas...Fine, I understand...we'll be there as fast as we can...Bye," she hung up and stared at her phone.

Haley sighed then looked up at Nathan with unshed tears in her eyes. "We have to get to the hospital."

"What's wrong with Brooke?" Nathan asked worriedly.

"There was a fire," was all she said.

"Is she okay?" he asked.

"I don't know," Haley answered quietly.

Nathan drove to the hospital as he listened to Haley's soft cries, become loud, agonizing sobs.

--------------

They walked into the hospital. Haley, with her eyes red and puffy. Nathan with his jaw clenched, as he tried to hold back his tears.

They walked into the waiting room, where they saw Lucas and Peyton seated next to each other.

"Haley," Peyton exclaimed as she stood up and embraced Haley in a comforting hug.

Lucas stood up slowly and walked over to Nathan. He opened his arms and Nathan let his brother hug him as he began to let the tears run down his face.

They all stood there, embracing each other, until they heard someone speak.

"Who's here with Brooke Davis?"

Everyone turned to look at the young doctor that stood before them. "We are."

"Is there any family here?" he asked.

"No," Haley answered. "But we are more of a family to her than her real one."

"I need family here," the doctor said sympathetically.

"She's my fiance," Nathan spoke up.

Peyton and Lucas looked at him with shock.

"Yeah," Haley agreed.

The doctor sighed. "Very well...Please come with me."

Nathan was about to follow but stopped. "Hold on."

He turned to Haley. "I'll tell you everything when I come back."

Haley nodded. "Make sure she's okay Nate."

Nathan nodded.

"Okay let's go," he said to the doctor.

As they entered the room the doctor began to explain everything.'

"Ms.Davis had her stove on when the accident occured, but it wasn't what caused the fire," he said. "It seems that she had a candle in her hands when she just...passed out."

Nathan was confused. "Passed out?"

"Yeah...we aren't sure why, she just did," the doctor said.

"Is she going to be okay though?" Nathan asked.

"She'll be fine," the doctor assured.

"Thank god," Nathan said as he let out a sigh of relief.

"By the way..." the doctor said. "I understand why you guys are getting married so young."

"What do you mean?" Nathan asked confused.

"Well you want to have a solid ground right, a stable environment?" the doctor asked.

"Well...yeah...I guess," Nathan said still puzzled.

"That's the best thing for a baby," the doctor said as he nodded.

"Baby?" Nathan asked shocked.

"Oh..." the doctor said as he realized that Nathan had no idea what he was talking about. "Well after we took some tests we found out that Ms.Davis is pregnant."

Pregnant?

Oh man, not again, Nathan thought. Well...technically she wasn't pregnant last time but I was still freaked out. Oh crap...last time we got saved, but this time it's real.

"She's a couple of weeks along," the doctor added.

This time it is so real.
