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 6

They were standing at the entrance of the hospital. Brooke's hands were shaking. She couldn't sleep all night. Her thoughts were only for this day, for today. She had to decide what to do with that unborn life inside of her. Even the thought of it was scary. And she was young, so young. She had plans for her life. If she chose them over her baby, then that baby shouldn't even exist. However, there was Lucas. Brooke looked up at him. His face was pale and he was quiet, but he had promised to be with her no matter what.

"Maybe we don't have to keep it." Brooke said quietly, chewing her lip. "It could ruin our plans, Lucas. After all, we're young and we can always..."

"...have another?" Lucas took her shaking hands in his warm ones and squeezed them lightly. "Don't think like that, okay? Don't think about me and my stuff. I want what is the best for you. The body is yours, Brooke. I can only support you and be with you, no matter what you decide. But if you think about our plans... I mean, do you have a plan for your life, excluding that baby?"

"I want to have a boutique." She whispered.

"You can have this with the baby as well." Lucas said quietly. "The question is - do you want it?"

Brooke looked at him again. "Do you? It's a big change in your life also, Luke."

"Truth, but I'm not my father, Brooke." Lucas clenched his jaw. "Do you know that she wanted my mom to have an abortion? He wanted his career more than me. My mother though... she wanted me more than anything and she was our age. My point is, if you decide to have it, Brooke... I'll do whatever I can to make you feel safe and secure. It doesn't matter how old I am or where I am. You are more important than anything in my life."

"Are you serious?" Brooke couldn't believe in her ears.

"Yes." Lucas lifted up her hands and planted a soft kiss on the back of her fingers. "Do you know, when you broke up with me I felt empty. I felt like I should say something to get you back, but I was too dumb to think of something else than: "I'm sorry!" I felt like it's over. Like... I'm gonna wake up the next morning and you won't be here... It's like.. I won't see you ever again, do you understand? I know that I will not see you, because you're gonna far away, even if you're here. Okay, I will not see you, no chance, will not."

Brooke blinked to hide her tears. "Oh, Luke..."

He put his index finger on her lips. "But now I know that you're here." He took her hand and placed it on his chest, so she could feel the beating of his heart. "Now I'm imagining a day when I get up and I know that I might see you." A soft smile touched his lips when he stared at her eyes. "It's you, Brooke. It's always been you. It took me time to realize what I want. I've done lots of mistakes until I realized that. So, don't think about me when you take your decision. I'll be there, because of you."

"I don't know what to say." Brooke's voice trembled. "Are you sure, Luke?"

"That I love you? That I'll lay the world in your legs if you only let me?" Lucas chuckled. "I'll do it in a heartbeat, Brooke. You only have to ask me."

"I... " Brooke bit her lower lip and wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head on his chest. "Fuck this world, Luke! Let's do it!" She muttered.

"Are you sure?" He rubbed her back. "It's something huge.."

"Shush!" Brooke relaxed in his arms. "I just took my decision, so shush it!"

Lucas laughed quietly. "Always a bossy lady, huh?"

"Mhm, you better get used to it." Brooke pulled back and looked up at him. "Let's go inside now, okay? It's getting chilly and I hate hospitals."

"Okay." He wrapped his arm around her waist and they both walked into the hospital.

What happened after that was kind of blurry for her. The things Lucas had told her, were still in her head when her doctor asked her about her decision. She looked at Lucas again and he nodded slightly. His eyes looked back at her with love and Brooke simply nodded to the doctor. Then she cleared her throat and answered. "Yes!"

"Are you sure, Miss? You are still young. Maybe you have to look other options as well..."

"Can you shut up?" Brooke frowned. "The baby is mine. The body is mine. I want the baby. More questions?"

She sounded so grumpy that Lucas chuckled quietly. "I'm sorry." He put up his hands when Brooke shot him a look. "Don't kill me for laughing."

"Okay then." The doctor nodded and sit behind her desk and wrote something in her notebook. "I have to tell you that you're at the beginning of the third month. Do you have any problems?"

"Problems?" Brooke shifted in her chair.

"Like morning sickness?"

Brooke shook her head. "Nah, I only eat more than usual."

"That's good." The female doctor nodded again. "Come with me now." She got off her chair.

"Where?" Brooke looked at her suspiciously.

"To see you and your baby in a monitor." The doctor smiled lightly. "Don't worry."

"Okay." Brooke got off her chair as well and looked at Luke. "You'll wait for me."

"I'm here." He winked to her. "Always."

Brooke blushed lightly and followed the female doctor to another room. They came back few minutes later and Brooke was holding a picture in her hand, grinning. "I have something for you to see." She said.

"Okay?" He reached for it, but she pulled it back.

"Na-huh." She turned to the doctor and nodded. "Thank you and I'll see you in two weeks."

"Okay, Brooke. Take care of yourself now." The female doctor nodded and watched them walking out the room with a smile on her face.

Lucas closed the door behind his back, trying to peek over Brooke's shoulder. She covered the picture with her other hand. "Sneaky!"

"Let me see!" He pouted like a kid, but she shook her head.

"Nope."

"Why?"

"Because... it's mine." Brooke laughed when they got out the hospital. It was strange how happy she felt at this moment. It felt almost... natural.

"But you said it's something for me to see." Lucas muttered and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Only if you deserve it." Brooke nodded and sticks her tongue out at him.

"That's not fair!"

"It is, when I say so." Brooke shrugged. "I have to go home now. Have to get ready for the final test."

"Are you kidding me?" Lucas wiggled his brows.

Brooke looked at him when they stopped in front of his car. "Do I look like I'm kidding?"

"That's... scary." Lucas shuddered. "Brooke Davis and study..."

"Are you saying that I'm dumb?" She rose up her voice.

"I didn't say that... It's just.. I..." He stammered, trying to unlock the car. "I didn't mean that, Brooke."

"Then you're allowed to come home and help me." She nodded like a snob and got into the car.

Lucas followed her. "Is that so?"

"Yes."

"Okay then." Lucas chuckled and started the engine.
