A/N: This is my first Brucas fic ever. I've dreamed it few nights in a row and I've decided it to finally write it here. I hope you like it. :)

Story: AU where everything after Season 4, Episode 1 never happened... or happened in a different way.

Chapter 2

A sound of a slamming door announced Haley's return into her house. Well, it wasn't technically hers. She was living there with Nathan… and Deb occasionally. Dan had moved out and now was living at the beach house. They had sold the apartment, because they needed the money. Now Haley looked furious and Lucas was the last person she wanted to meet.

"Hey, Hales!" The sound of Lucas voice made her blood boil. What the hell he was doing here? "I just came by and…"

His sentence was cut off when she slapped him, hard. "What the Hell are you doing, Luke?"

"Ouch! Hey!" He looked at her, still holding his side. "That hurt!"

"It's supposed to hurt, you idiot!" She passed him on her way to the living room and Lucas followed her. "Where is my husband?"

"Here and please, don't hit me too." Nathan got off the couch, where he was sitting and put his hands up. "I was good."

Haley looked at him carefully and noticed how he shook his head lightly. He was trying to tell her that he kept Brooke's secret. Haley just smiled and gave him a kiss. Nathan grinned afterwards and looked at Lucas. His big brother had a strange look on his face right now. Nathan didn't want to be at his place right now, honestly. When Haley was furious, that was a bad thing. He knew that from experience. Now, he just sat back on the couch and turned on the TV.

"What's going on Haley?" Lucas finally took the courage to walk into the room.

"What do you mean?" She looked at him.

"That slap?" Lucas raised his eyebrows. "I know you wouldn't slap me with no reason. Can you please tell me what's going on?"

"You kissed Peyton!"

"What?" Nathan looked at his big brother with amusement. "Oh man, you're in trouble!"

"Haley…" Lucas took a step towards her, but Haley narrowed her eyes.

"You cheated on Brooke!"

"It's not like that."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah, I thought Peyton was dying and I just…"

"…cheated on Brooke, again!" Haley snapped and punched Lucas' chest this time. "Seriously, Luck! I thought you are better than this and you've learned your lesson already!"

"I did!" Lucas stepped back just when Haley was about to hit him again. "Hey! Stop punching me!"

"Stop cheating!" Haley's eyes glowed dangerously right now. "I thought I know you well, Lucas!" Her voice was ice cold. "I thought my best friend would never do something like that to the girl he loves!"

"I'm not in love with Peyton!" Lucas snapped and run his fingers through his messy hair. "This thing just… happened!"

"Oh?" Nate looked at his big brother. "Things like these don't just happen, big brother!"

"You shut up, Nate!"

"Don't speak to him like that when you're the one screwing things up, again!" Haley put her hands on her hips.

"Can somebody tell me what's going on here?" Lucas looked completely confused now. "I just came here to ask about Brooke."

"Ask her then!" Haley snapped and felt her husband's hands resting on her shoulders. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. Nathan gave her shoulders a light squeeze.

"She won't answer my calls!" Lucas frowned. "How am I supposed to know how she is?"

"She has a damn good reason not answering you, Luke." Nathan looked at his brother. "It's time for you to grow up already. Just pick one already."

"I did that!" Luke snapped.

"Just to hurt her again?" Haley frowned. "There was a time when it was a privilege to call you my friend, Luke. Now? Now… not so much."

Lucas opened his mouth, but then closed it again and without saying anything he just left Nathan's place. Haley sighed and looked back at her husband. Nathan just smiled and leaned down to kiss his wife. He never felt luckier in his life. It was funny how things could turn out at the end. There was a time, when he seriously thought that he would end up at the place where Lucas was now. That was his mother's biggest fear. However, Haley had showed into his life and made it better.

"I give a penny for your thoughts." Haley tilted her head.

"Why?"

"Because you have my favorite smile right now." Haley grinned and wrapped her arms around Nathan's middle.

"I was thinking how much I love my wife and… that we have to have our honeymoon." Nathan stroked her hair. "I'm sorry we couldn't have it now."

"It's okay." Haley sighed and leaned on his hand. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure." Nathan nodded, gazing at her face.

"I want us to take care of Brooke." Haley said that with insecure voice. "I know we don't have much, but she doesn't have even this. Besides, if she decides to keep the baby and Lucas…"

"I know." Nathan frowned. "If he acts like Dan… then that wouldn't be good for Brooke."

"Then?" Haley rose up her eyebrows. "Can we help her? She wouldn't ask her parents for help, I asked her already. I also don't trust Rachel and I don't want Brooke to be influenced by her. She's so insecure and scared right now."

"She can live here." Nathan nodded again. "If she decides to keep the baby, then we can help her. That baby is going to be my nephew or niece right?"

"And mine too!" Haley sighed and moved her hands up his back. "I love you, so much!" She whispered just before they lips could meet.

"Mhm." Nathan chuckled after the kiss. "One good deed and I get this? Nice."

"Let's go get, Brooke!" She grabbed his hand and dragged him to the door. He laughed and barely managed to grab his keys from the cupboard by the door.

After she dropped Haley by her house, Brooke came back to her so called home. She sighed and grabbed her laptop, sitting on her bed. She refused to think right now. That was something big happening in her life. However, Haley was right. She was way calmer than before. Now she knew that she was pregnant. She chewed her lower lip while she was turning on the laptop. Usually, she used to call Peyton and share a news big like this. Now she couldn't.

However, she clicked on Peyton's page. In the next moment she wished she couldn't. She saw her former best friend hugging her ex boyfriend in front of the camera. Brooke closed the laptop angrily and jumped off her bed. She needed a fresh air. In the next moment she was already in her car, deciding where to go. It was too early to go and grab a drink or even get drunk. However, it wasn't too early for something sweet. She felt like she could eat thousand chocolates right now. So, she headed to the local store and parked the car.

Brooke turned off the engine and walked out of the car. "Damn it!" She cursed under her nose when she saw two familiar figures, walking out of the store. Peyton was fast, Brooke had to admit.

The next thing she felt was a sharp pain, cutting through her stomach and she curled up in two. Her arms wrapped around her middle and she moaned painfully.

"Brooke?" Lucas was the last thing Brooke wanted to see right now, but obviously her moan was too loud. He had noticed her. "Brooke!" She could see him running to her. "Are you okay?"

Brooke opened her mouth to say another lie, but she couldn't. Her knees went weak and she was about to fall onto the cold ground. Then she felt Lucas' arms wrapped around her. Her head rested on his shoulder and her eyes closed. The last thing she heard was his scream.

"Brooke!"
