CHAPTER 32

Everyone was in the waiting room: Nathan, Haley, Lucas, Jake, Peyton, Taylor, Anna, Skillz, Fergie, Junk, and Mouth; no Jenny because Haley didn't want her to get scared so she left her with Karen.

Haley and Peyton stood defiantly before Brooke's doctor as everyone else watched intently; silently rooting for them.

"Listen we have a right to know how she is doing," Haley said, trying to hold back her anger and her tears at the same time.

"I'm sorry Ms. James but I can't tell you anything at the moment," Carlos, or Dr. Gonzalez said with remorse.

"Can't you tell us at least if she or the baby are going to be okay?" Peyton asked desperately.

"I'm sorry...it's confidential at the moment," he said sadly as he looked at the two girls before him.

"What about Nathan? They are engaged can't you tell him what's going on?" Haley said with unshed tears.

"No, I'm sorry," he with a quick shake of the head. "You have to wait until we are finished."

"What the hell are you guys doing anyway?" Peyton yelled in frustration.

Dr. Gonzalez took a deep breathe. "I will tell you when we are finished."

Now don't let his calm and collected exterior fool you, he was actually very nervous and scared; the two young girls before him were giving him the scariest looks he had ever seen in his life.

Haley clenched her teeth as she calmly, yet quickly, grabbed tightly to the doctor's collar and lifted him off the ground.

"Oh crap," the doctor squeaked as he looked down at his dangling legs. How the hell could she pick him up? She was smaller than him for god's sake!

"What…are…you…doing…with…Brooke?" Haley asked through her clenched teeth.

Peyton nodded next to her, and everyone else just watched wide-eyed at the scene before them. As shocked as Nathan was, he just smirked.

Dr. Gonzalez stuttered. "W-we are just running s-some tests to m-make sure she and the b-baby are okay."

"You couldn't just tell us that?!" Peyton asked incredulously.

Haley shook her head sadly as she put the poor doctor down.

As soon as his feet were on the ground the doctor began to back away. "I'll tell you more as soon as the tests are done."

With that he disappeared through the big white doors before them and now the group could only do one thing:

Wait.

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

"This is ridiculous!" Taylor exclaimed from her seat next to Lucas. "We've been here for-fricken-ever and they still haven't told us diddly squat!"

Haley sighed. "Well first of all: thank you for censoring yourself because I know you could come up with profanity strong enough to make a drill sergeant cry. And second: we have only been waiting for ten minutes."

"Yeah well…I don't like it," Taylor grumbled.

"Me neither," Lucas said.

"Yeah," Nathan agreed. "Something's not right."

Jake spoke up. "Oh come on, I'm sure she is fine."

"Yeah guys," Peyton agreed. "I bet she is bored out of her mind in there."

Skillz felt like putting his input as well as Fergie, Junk, Anna, and Mouth, but they felt like they didn't know enough about the situation to say anything so they kept quiet.

After a moment of uncomfortable silence Lucas shook his head in frustration. "That's it!"

He stood up, ready to just barge through the big doors and look for Brooke, but he stopped when the doors opened to reveal Dr. Gonzalez.

He looked at Lucas's angry posture. "Um…you want to see her first?"

Lucas looked over at Nathan for permission to which he nodded.

Lucas took a deep breath and nodded to the doctor.

Dr. Gonzalez led him to Brooke's room.

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

The doctor let Lucas enter the room alone.

As soon as he opened the door he saw Brooke sitting upright and looking through a bridal magazine.

He couldn't help but smile at her usual Brooke Davis antics. Even when there was something wrong she had to think about fashion.

When Brooke heard the soft click of the door closing she looked up expecting to see a nurse but was happy to see that it was Lucas.

"Hey Broody," she said, giving him a dimpled smile.

"Hey Cheery," he replied as he pulled up a chair next to her bed.

He grabbed a hold of her hand and looked up at her with a sad smile. "Are you okay?"

"Who me?" Brooke asked with a smirk, then added sarcastically. "Oh yeah, I'm fine and dandy."

"Brooke," he stressed. "What happened?"

Brooke shrugged. "I don't know…they said it had something to do with too much stress, that there was something that was deeply bothering me."

"Is the baby going to be okay?" Lucas asked with concern.

"Yeah," she said with a relieved smile.

"You know I'll always be here for you right Brooke?" he asked.

She nodded.

"Your one of my best friend's and I can't imagine losing you…and when I got that call from Haley I felt the way I felt when I saw your house on fire…I was scared. And I hope you take care of yourself better Brooke, you need to figure out what it is that is messing with you and the baby…" he said gently.

"You're a great friend Luke," she said as she leaned forward to hug him.

"Thanks," he whispered into her ear as she hugged him.

She pulled away. "Um…I don't mean to be rude or anything but can you give me a few minutes alone with Nathan?"

Lucas let out a laugh. "Sure thing."

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

Lucas told Nathan where Brooke's room was and when he stood before it he took a deep breath before opening the door.

Then when he saw Brooke he practically ran over to her and sat in the chair Lucas had occupied earlier.

He stared at her, trying to permanently imprint her facial features into his brain. After a few minutes worth of staring, he buried his head near her hand and began to cry.

Brooke just ran her hand through his hair soothingly. "Shh…"

"I thought…I thought…" he tried.

"I know," she said gently. "But I'm okay."

He lifted his head and looked at her with red, puffy eyes. "The baby?"

"Is perfect," she finished as she leaned forward and gave him a slow kiss.

When she pulled away, Nathan kept his eyes close trying to savor the moment.

He opened them after a while, took hold of her hand, and kissed her knuckles.

"I just don't want to lose you," he said with a crack in his voice.

"I know," she whispered.

"I love you," he sobbed as he buried his head again.

"I love you too," she said gently, rubbing his back comfortably.

She had never seen Nathan so distraught, and it broke her heart. She was glad that he cared so much about her, but what would have happened if things were more severe.

She needed to figure out what was bothering her.

For the sake of her and her baby.

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

Lucas told everyone in the waiting room what was going on. Skillz, Mouth, Fergie, and Junk, decided that the day was too drama filled and that they would see Brooke another time when she was feeling better, so they left, along with Anna who was relieved to hear that Brooke was okay.

Lucas took a seat next to Haley and he noticed that she was in deep thought. "Penny for your thoughts?"

Haley turned to him and opened her palm with a smirk. "Okay give it to me."

"It's just an expression Hales," he said with a laugh. "Besides I'm as broke as a joke."

Haley rolled her eyes playfully at her best friend but then remembered what she was thinking about and got serious. "Hey Luke?"

"Yeah?" he asked expectantly.

"You remember what happened at this time six years ago?" she asked.

Lucas thought for a moment then his eyes widened in recollection. "You don't think that…"

"Yeah I do," she answered. "I think that Brooke still hasn't gotten over it."

"Whoa…" was all he could say.

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

Nathan ran soothing circles on Brooke's stomach over the material of her hospital gown. He looked over at Brooke to see that she was asleep, and then he turned when he heard the door opened.

Dr. Gonzalez walked in; still a little shaken from the power of the younger girl that had lifted him earlier, but was slowly getting over it.

He went over to Nathan with a serious face.

"Mr. Scott…" he said. "I'm afraid that Ms. Davis is going to have to be on bed rest for the rest of her pregnancy."

"What?" he asked in shock.

"Having her on bed rest would best ensure a healthy birth," the doctor explained.

Nathan let out a heavy sigh. "Okay."

The doctor decided to leave Nathan alone with Brooke so he walked out, closing the door quietly.

Nathan just went back to rubbing Brooke's stomach and his hand immediately stopped when he felt something.

He looked up to see that Brooke had woken up and was staring at him with wide eyes.

"What?" he asked.

"Did you feel that?" she asked in awe.

"Yeah..." he said, still confused. "You hungry or something?"

"No, you idiot," she laughed. "I think that was the baby."

"Really?" he smiled.

He rubbed her stomach which resulted in another kick.

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

Haley leaned her head on Jake's shoulder while still on the uncomfortable hospital chair.

She would have been in Brooke's room at the moment, but she wanted Nathan to have some time alone with her.

So right now she was content with sitting in between her boyfriend and best friend, with her sister next to her best friend, and her newest friend next to her sister.

"Hey Hales?" Lucas said from his position on Haley's left side.

"Yeah?" she said lifted her head from Jake's shoulder.

"You gonna ask Brooke if what you're thinking is true?" he asked.

Haley thought for a moment then gave him a certain nod. "Yeah."

"What are you guys talking about?" Jake asked as he looked over at them.

"I'll tell you later," Haley said as she leaned back down on his shoulder.

Just then a nurse was passing by but stopped when she noticed Haley. "Ms. James?"

Haley looked up and then her eyes widened when she recognized the nurse.

Jake looked at Haley with confusion, as did Lucas, Taylor, and Peyton.

"How weird is this?" the young nurse said with a smile. "I was just about to call you to give you those results."

Haley stood up quickly. "Uh...you know...maybe you could tell me later...I kinda have to go see my friend."

With that Haley hastily went in search of her best friends room while the others just watched her; still confused as hell.

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

Felix was walking over to the hospital to see Peyton.

Anna had told him about what had happened and he wanted to make sure that she was alright.

He opened the door to the building, walked passed by the nurse's desk and into the waiting room where he saw her seated next to some blonde guy that wasn't her boyfriend, which made him smile happily.

"Hey Peyt," he said.

She looked up startled and she stared at the boy before her in shock. "Felix."

"I'm just here to make sure you're okay," he explained.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," she said quickly. She didn't really feel comfortable being around Felix knowing that he had feelings for her and that he had met Chris.

"Well is your friend okay?" he asked with genuine worry, but also hoping she would show some interest in his being there.

"Yeah," was all she said.

"Oh, well okay, I guess since everything's fine, I'll just leave," he said, sensing her discomfort and turning to leave.

Peyton silently cursed herself for being such a bitch and watched as he left the hospital with his head down.

Lucas looked at Peyton sympathetically. "You okay?"

"Yeah..." she nodded as she pulled out her cell phone. "I'm gonna check up on Chris though."

"Okay," he said as he looked for his girlfriend, who said that she was just going to get some soda's from the vending machine.

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

Taylor looked for the nurse that had 'results' for Haley. She used the whole soda idea to keep Lucas from following her, she knew if she told him the truth he would come as well and she didn't want that.

She knew if this was serious then Haley would want to tell him herself, she also knew that Haley would wouldn't want her snooping but she was her big sister; it was her job to snoop about Haley's business.

So after a while Taylor spotted the nurse and walked up to her. "Excuse me."

The nurse looked up. "Can I help you?"

"Uh...yeah, you said you had some results for my sister...do you mind telling me what exactly these results are for?" Taylor asked as she looked at the nurse pleadingly.

The nurse sighed. "I'm not suppose to but..." she leaned up and whispered into the girls ear.

Taylor eyes closed as she listened to the nurse and slowly a tear went down her cheek.

The nurse pulled back. "I'm sorry."

Taylor just nodded, her eyes full of sadness and shock.

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

Haley was sitting in the chair next to Brooke's bed, since Nathan had went back to the waiting room, and Brooke just stared at her best friend. "What's wrong Hales?"

Haley looked up. "Nothing..."

"Hales," she said. "Don't lie to me."

"I'm scared Brooke," she said with a break in her voice as she tried to hold back her tears.

"About what?" she asked, concerned.

Haley then told her about the content of her test results.

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

Lucas saw Taylor come back without soda so he looked at her in confusion. "What happened to the beverages?"

"Oh...um," she said dumbfounded. "I changed my mind?"

"Okay," he said as he stood up. "I'm gonna go check on Hales and Brooke."

"Okay," she said quickly as she sat down and put her head in her hands and thought about the information she had received just moments ago.

Nathan looked at Taylor then turned to Peyton.

"So have you ever gotten a girl pregnant?" he asked, trying to lighten the mood.

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

Lucas walked into the room, closed the door behind him, and stopped walking when he saw the girls. "Were you two crying?"

"Nah," Haley waved off as she sniffed and tried to smile. "What's up?"

"I just came to see if you asked Brooke yet," he explained.

"Oh...no I haven't," she said. "Why don't you ask her?"

"Ask me what?" Brooke asked.

"Well..." he said as he walked up to her and sat on the bed. "We wanted to know if your break up with your first steady boyfriend six years ago was what was stressing you out?"

"What?" Brooke laughed.

Haley stared at Lucas before rolling her eyes and slapping the back of his head.

"Ow!" he exclaimed as his hand immediately went to his head. "What did I do?!"

"That wasn't it you idiot," Haley said. "I swear you could make Tim look like a genius sometimes."

"It wasn't?" he asked as his eyes scrunched together. "Then what was it?"

She whispered in his ear. "Her mom's death."

When she pulled away Lucas had a look of realization. "OoOoh! Now it makes sense."

Brooke stared at them with a raised eyebrow. "What?"

"Brooke..." Haley started. "Is your mom's death still bothering you?"

Haley took her silence as a confirmation.

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

Taylor couldn't believe it.

This wasn't suppose to happen.

Especially not to her sister.

She had too much to live for.

Why?

Why would this happen?

Why?

That one word kept repeating in her head.

Why?

The end of chapter 32

A.N: Dun, dun, dun! What kind of crazy disease does Haley have? Or am I just trying to trick you you into thinking that its a disease when she's really pregnant? Or did I just tell you by accident? Do you guys really think I'd make it this obvious or am I lying? Am I telling the truth? Who know's right? Oh wait...I know! lol. yes...being an author rules. For example: I know if Brooke's baby is actually going to survive or not, I know Jake's fate, I know what stupid thing Lucas is going to do next, and I know who actually killed Kenny. lol. I also know if any of the things I just said have any actual significance. lol.

Anyway kiddies thats it for my rambling, and please...don't forget to review.
