Hey guys! Thank you to all who have checked out my story! I really appreciate some of the feedback I've gotten already. I know the beginning chapters have been short and full of "fluff" but I want to get the story rolling. I need some ideas for a more dramatic storyline. It can't always be rainbows and butterflies right? Anyways let me know if I should create some trouble in paradise. Thanks again!

2 weeks later

"Ready for this babe?" Lucas pulled into an open spot in the crowded parking lot at the hospital. It was Brooke's first appointment with the OBGYN. The young couple had been anticipating it all week. They couldn't wait to get the first look at their baby.

"I'm so excited!" Brooke gleamed as she unbuckled her seatbelt. "I can't wait to see how far along I am."

Brooke and Lucas got out of the car and joined hands as they walked into the building. The waiting room was filled with women in every stage of pregnancy. There were young couples like Brooke and Lucas, probably there for their first or second appointment. And then there were women who looked like they were about to deliver right there in the waiting room.

Lucas took a seat and Brooke walked up to the check-in window.

"Hi I'm Brooke Scott. I have an appointment with Dr. Harlow for 1:00." Brooke said as she signed the sign-in sheet.

"Sure miss, I just need you to fill out these forms and then the doctor will see you." The receptionist handed Brooke a clipboard and pen and then answered the ringing phone beside her. "Dr. Harlow's office, Andrea speaking."

"Thanks." Brooke took a seat next to Lucas and began filling out the paperwork.

Lucas rubbed Brooke's leg with one hand and read his email's on his phone with the other.

"Oh you've got to be kidding." Lucas grunted after reading one email from Jake. "That's the 4th player who quit this week.

"Oh jeez, I'm sorry Luke." Brooke sighed and looked at her husband. She knew how frustrated Lucas was with this group of boys. None of them seemed to take her husband seriously as a coach and one by one they were quitting the team.

Lucas turned his attention to Brooke's stomach which didn't have the slightest bump to it yet.

"You'll play for your Daddy right?" Lucas had his hand on Brooke's stomach and leaned in closer. "You, little man, are going to be the best shooting guard around, I can feel it."

"Lucas, you do know this baby could be a girl right?" Brooke laughed. Of course her husband wanted a boy to play ball with, but they weren't 100% sure either way so why assume?

"She can play basketball too. She won't be a cheerleader that's for damn sure." Lucas furrowed his brow.

"Hey! What's wrong with cheerleaders?" Brooke replied annoyed.

"Nothing. I married one didn't I?" Lucas laughed as Brooke hit him playfully on the shoulder.

"Mrs. Scott? You may come back now."

"Aunt Brooke there's nothing there." Jamie was disappointed holding the first sonogram picture of Brooke and Lucas's baby.

"Jamie what are you talking about, don't you see it?" Brooke pointed to the little spec of gray fuzz in the middle of the black fuzz that surrounded it. "The doctor said it's about the size of a peanut."

"Well it's the cutest peanut I have ever seen then." Haley smiled as she took a sip of her coffee. She and Jamie stopped by Clothes over Bros after Haley picked up Jamie from daycare. Brooke was walking around the store folding things and putting things away while she rambled on and on about her first doctors appointment yesterday.

"Dr. Harlow said I'm due around early April of next year. I can't wait I've already went shopping for baby stuff. Want to see what I got?" Brooke walked behind the counter and picked up 4 shopping bags filled with stuff.

"Wow Brooke I think you may be overdoing it. You don't even know the gender." Haley said.

"So? I bought things for both a baby boy and a baby girl. I can always use stuff in the future if me and Luke decide to have more kids." Brooke shot back at her best friend. "Besides shopping is what I do best. It occupies me when Luke's gone all day."

"Yeah how is the team doing by the way? I heard through the grapevine in the halls at the school that boys keep quitting." Haley asked as she watched Jamie run around the store pretending to chase the "bad guys."

"Oh Haley it's just embarrassing. I went to practice after our appointment yesterday with Luke. I could play basketball better than these boys Hales. Seems like the talent graduated when our husbands did." Brooke giggled.
