Chapter 13

Each and every one of them stood in awe looking at Lucas, waiting for him to say something or waiting for an alarm to ring so that it would indicate that this was all a dream but when nothing rang, they all knew that it was reality.

"I...I...," was all Lucas could say.

Brooke looked at Lucas, "I? Is that all you can say?"

Haley didn't want Jamie to hear the shouting, "Jamie, sweetie, why don't you go upstairs and play." Jamie smiled, "Okay momma."

"Hey Jimmy Jam, I'll come with you," Skills said winking at Nathan and Haley and following the boy upstairs.

"Jamie, I give you permission to turn the volume up really loud okay!" Jamie high fived Skills, "Sweet! Thanks momma."

Haley smiled, "Awesome." She winked at them both; Jamie for being a good boy and Skills for helping out.

"Lucas, this girl comes here and tells you she's pregnant with your child and all you can say is I? What is the matter with you? Have you even stopped to think how this is going to affect us and our marriage not to mention our child?" Brooke shouted.

"Brooke it was a mistake," he told her sincerely.

"A mistake that now is going to ruin our family. A mistake that could have been avoided if you would have cherished our wedding vows and had been loyal to me. You know, I finally started seeing the better in you and now, now this just changes everything."

Lucas was confused, "Why does this have to change everything?"

Haley interrupted looking at Carrie and Rachel, "I think it's time for the two of you to go."

"You cannot turn your back on your child, I won't let you. You made the mistake with this tramp and now you're going to be there for that innocent child and be a good father to him or her. You will have visitation rights for Summer whenever you feel like it, I will not keep her from you but for you and I, WE ARE THROUGH."

Lucas felt the tears stinging his eyes, "Brooke you don't mean that."

Brooke was now crying she couldn't fight it anymore. "I do, I will not stand by this and pretend that everything is okay. I forgave you for the mistake but obviously this mistake has lead to a lot more. This child deserves to have a good father but I cannot pretend that this is my child also, I can't and I won't. Tomorrow, I'm going to go and talk to the lawyer and request them to draw up divorce papers. As far as you and I are concerned...there is no more US."

Lucas let the tears fall from his eyes, "Brooke, please."

"Just don't okay," she said stopping him from going any further.

Brooke turned around and made her way up to Haley's room so that she could take a long breath and think about what just happened.

Haley looked at both girls, "It's time for the both of you to leave, now!"

"I'm not done talking to Lucas," Rachel insisted.

"You either leave my house right now or I'll throw you out myself."

"Jeez, relax," Carrie told Haley. Obviously neither one of the girls were listening.

"My wife asked you both to leave, so now leave," Nathan told them both.

As both girls walked out, Carrie turned around but Haley had slammed the door in their faces.

"I cannot believe the two of them," Haley said speechless of the whole situation.

"Lucas you should go and talk to Brooke," Nathan told his brother.

Lucas nodded, "I can't do that right now."

Haley looked Lucas in the eyes, "Luke, she deserves at least that. Do you understand what you're putting her through right now?"

Lucas was frustrated, "Well what you want from me? I don't know what to say to her okay."

Haley crossed her arms, "So you're just going to leave her up there alone?"

"It's what she wants; I want to give her some space."

"Luke you're marriage is falling apart," Nathan told his brother concerned.

Lucas shouted, "Don't you think I know that? Don't you think I'm hurting?"

"Actually I don't, cause if you were hurting you would be a man and go up there and talk to your wife," Haley shot back.

"Haley, I can't do that right now."

"Fine then, I'll go talk to her," Haley walked right past him. She went upstairs to talk to Brooke while the guys walked towards the couch. Nathan was looking at Lucas, while Lucas stared at the wall. He was all pale and looked like he had been punched in the stomach and had the wind sucked out of him. He was confused and he had a million questions going through his mind, what was he to do?

Haley opened the door to her bedroom and found Brooke on the bed, curdled up into a ball as she sobbed away. Brooke was broken and so hurt. This news had really done it, Brooke Davis Scott the fashion designer, a mother and a wife was the picture of a broken and hurt woman. Haley had never seen her this way.

"Brooke?" Haley called out hoping that her friend would respond.

Brooke looked up at Haley with big tears running down her face and mascara smudged underneath her eyes; she sat up on the bed and started to cry hysterically. Haley ran over to her friend and sat on the bed with her and she hugged her, Brooke cried in her best friend's arms.

In between sobs, Brooke managed to say," I...don't...know...what...to...do...anymore. I…I," she threw herself back into Haley's arms and continued to cry. Haley held her for as long as she needed to.

"Shh, everything will be okay. I will always be here for you Brooke," Haley told her friend, meaning every word of it.
