Chapter 7
Girl or Boy?
Previously on, "The Not So Perfect Life"...
Lucas was walking down the street towards Rachel's house. That was the last place he had to look, so she had to be there.
Ring, ring...
"Hello." he said, answering his phone, quickly, when he saw Haley's name.
"Hi, Lucas, I have to tell you something." she said, loking at Rachel then walking somewhere where it would be quieter.
"What is it, Haley?" he asked, concerned.
"It's, Brooke, she's been in an accident."
"What? Is she ok?"
"Yes, she's fine, the...the baby is fine, she just has a broken wrist and some bruises." Haley explained.
"Ok, well I better go see her." Lucas said.
"She might be mad to see you though, Lucas." she said. "She said not to let you know she was there."
Lucas put on a confused look. "Why wouldn't she want me there?"
"You know why, she didn't want you feeling sorry for her."
"Well, I'll be there in a couple minutes anyways."
"Ok, bye, Lucas."

Lucas got to the hospital, and headed straight for the receptionist's desk.
"Hi, can you tell me what room Brooke Davis is in, please?" he asked, a little out of breath from practically running the whole way there.
"Uh, yes, here she is." the lady behind the desk said, looking on her computer. "Room 288."
"Thanks."
When he got up the the second floor where room 288 was, he saw Haley and Rachel talking, quietly.
"Hey, Lucas." Haley said, hugging him. "She's in there."
Lucas went into Brooke's room. Brooke's eyes were shut when he came in so he didn't even have a chance to get yelled at. He sat beside the bed on a chair and started looking at a clipboard, with Brooke and the baby's information on it. He didn't want to wake Brooke up, especially since she didn't even want him there. He quickly put the clipboard down when he saw the sex of the baby. "Damn it." he thought, then smiled. Just then Brooke started moving around and when she opened her eyes, Lucas wasn't really thrilled to hear what she had to say.
"What are you doing here, Lucas?" she said, as angrily as she could, considering.
"I-"
"Who told you I was here?"
"Haley."
"Of course...well, you can leave now, I'm fine." she said, trying to sit up more, but failed.
"Let me help you, Brooke." he said, getting up and adjusting her to where she was comfortable. He sat back down and it was silent for a few minutes.
"Why are you being so nice to me?" she asked, obviously feeling sorry for herself.
"Brooke, I'm mad, but that doesn't mean I don't love you, I do, and I always will." he said, taking her hand in his. "We still need to figure things out, but for now, I'm here for you, Brooke."
She turned her head so he couldn't see her cry.
"Look at me." he said, softly, trying to turn her head back.
"No, you can't see me cry, I shouldn't be crying, I'm the one that hurt you." she said, not being able to hold in any tears. She just let them fall down her face.
He got up and laid beside her on the bed. "I know, Pretty Girl, but this is what we do...in the end I'm always the one comforting you." she laughed. Lucas smiled. "There's that smile I love so much, I haven't seen it in a while."
They stared at eachother for a minute and then Brooke spoke. "I'm really sorry, Lucas...you don't deserve someone like me."
"Your right."
"What?" she asked, shocked. She was serious about what she said, but she didn't expect him to agree with her.
"I don't deserve someone like you, your to perfect for me." he said, then kissed her. "You did a really stupid thing, Brooke, but it doesn't make me love you any less or want to break up with you, I'm just so angry that you didn't tell me, but we will get passed this, we have to get passed this...because your my Cheery, and I love you and nothing can take away from that."
She took a deep breathe and then let him continue. She didn't want to say a thing, everything was so perfect at the moment, even though he was mad.
"And you know something, this is kind of my fault, too. I should have known something was wrong with you. Your my girlfriend and your pregnant, how the hell could I miss that?" he laughed.
She laughed, too, then stopped. "Lucas, I'm really scared."
"Everything is going to be ok, I promise, we will get through this, if my mom was able to handle this by herself, then just think about what two parents can do." he explained, and kissed her on the forehead.
"Your really going to help me?" she asked, smiling.
"Well, yea, its my baby, too." he said, smiling. "By the way, do you want to know the sex of the baby?"
"What?" she asked, confused and laughing. "How could you know that?"
"It says it right here...on this paper." he said, getting the clipboard off of the chair.
Brooke just looked at the paper and smiled.

About an hour later Lucas came out of Brooke's room. "So, how did it go?" Haley asked, nervous, hoping it didn't go bad because she was the one that called Lucas.
"It'll be ok, eventually." he said, hugging Haley.
"How is she doing?" Rachel asked, concerned. If anything happened to Brooke, Rachel would never be able to forgive herself, if she would have told someone about Brooke she would have never got in that car accident.
"She's good, just sleeping right now." he said. "Is Peyton here?"
"Yea, she's here somewhere." Haley said, looking down the long hallway.
"I'm going to go find her, let me know when Brooke wakes up."
"We will, Luke."
Lucas walked down the hallway and found Peyton sitting on one of the chairs, listening to her ipod.
"Hey, Peyton." Lucas said, sitting down beside her.
She sat up in her seat, quickly. "Oh, hey...did you talk to Brooke yet?"
"Yea, she's doing fine."
"What about you guys?"
"I'm still mad, but I'm going to have to be ok with this for Brooke, she's scared." he explained.
"Yea..."
"Have you two talked at all?" Lucas asked, knowing they weren't exactly the best of friends lately.
"Yea, we apologized...I think were good now." she said, smiling. "I just hope she'll be ok."
"She's going to be fine, Peyton, the baby, too." he said, giving her a hug.
"Thanks, Luke." she said, hugging him back. "So, what do you think of that now?"
He sat there for a minute and smiled without saying anything. "Uh...its kind of weird...just wait until you find out your pregnant, then you'll understand. Its like about 2 hours ago I just had my own life to worry about, everything was planned out, but now there is this little thing, growing inside of Brooke, that we are going to have to take care of and put its needs before our own."
"Little thing?" Peyton laughed. "Nice, Lucas. You better not tell Brooke what you just called her baby."
Lucas laughed, too. "You know what I mean."
"Well, its great Lucas, I'm happy for you guys."
"Its great, but I'm scared to death, I told Brooke were going to get through this, but I'm not sure how we can."
"You have your mom to help you, she's been through this already."
"Oh my god, my mom doesn't know anything about this, I completely forgot."
Peyton laughed. "Well, good luck with that, I have to go to Tric now, do you want me to warn your mom you have something to tell her?"
"No, that will worry her, just tell her I'm going to spend the night at Brooke's house tonight." Lucas explained.
"Ok, Lucas." she said, laughing.

Brooke woke up shortly after Peyton had gone. When Lucas came into the room, Rachel, Haley and Brooke were talking and laughing. Rachel was the first to leave, then Nathan came and got Haley. When the doctor came in a little later, Lucas and Brooke were discussing how they were going to tell their parents.
"Hi, Brooke, how are you feeling now that you've slept for a while?" the doctor asked, taking the clipboard that was beside the bed.
"I'm fine, can I go home now?" she asked, tiredly.
"That's up to you, do you think your ready to leave now?"
"Yea, very ready." she laughed.
"Ok, do you have someone that will be able to help you around the house for the next couple of days?" the doctor asked.
"Do I?" she asked, looking at Lucas.
"Oh, sorry,she's going to have to stay here, I guess." Lucas said, teasing her.
"Lucas!"
"I can help her out."
"Ok, I'll go get you some clothes and a wheel chair so you can get out of this bed."

When they got to Brooke's house, they found nobody home, which ment Brooke's parents left for the rest of the week on their cruise.
"Just great, they didn't even leave a note or anything."
"Brooke, don't worry, I'm going to stay with you." Lucas said, helping her into her bed, one of the ones that was on the main floor of course, there was no way she would be able to climb stairs he first day home.
"Lucas, your the greatest boyfriend."
"Well, your the greatest girlfriend, Cheery." he said, sitting beside her and holding her hand. "Do you need anything?"
"Just you, to lay beside me and maybe kiss my owies better?" she said, putting out her bottom lip, pretending to pout.
Lucas laughed. "Your a strange girl, you know that?"
"But you love me, so its all good." she said, giggling.
"So, have you thought about names yet?" Lucas asked, kissing the fingers of the hand she had the broken wrist on.
"Yea, I like Kaitlyn."
