It was night and Brooke was home alone, with much effort she convinced Rachel to go out and have fun, that she'd be fine. Brooke was watching television when she heard the doorbell, she went to answer.
She opened the door and came face to face with Lucas, who said, "before you slam the door in my face I brought you something" he showed the strawberry ice cream, Brooke looked at him and said, "luck you I'm in a good mood and I love this ice cream"
She took the ice cream from him and let him in. They went to the kitchen and Lucas said, "Brooke I know you don't want to talk to me, but please, I know.." Brooke interrupted him and said, "like I said I'm in the mood, you can say whatever you can to say"
She sat down and began to eat the ice cream. Lucas looked at her and smiled, and said, "thank you, well, first of all I'm sorry for everything, I know that doesn't mean anything now.. But I need you to know that I'm truly sorry. You didn't deserve any of this and it was never my intention to hurt you in any way. I know that Peyton told you everything and it should have come from my mouth, but Brooke I really didn't know what to do, I was lost... I want you to know I love you.."
Brooke stopped him this time, and said, "Lucas.. Look, this is a very good speech, but doesn't change anything that happened, if you didn't want to hurt me why did you? Again I might add. I don't know what you want from me Luke, because I gave everything to you and you never let me in, you said you would fight for me, that would save me and I didn't see any of that.. ohh yes, I did see, I saw you doing that with Peyton. You love her don't you? Since you want to talk, tell me the truth for once."
Lucas looked at her and said, "Brooke, I don't .. well .. I don't know what happened, I really don't know how we got to this, I know I'm very sorry for everything that made you go through.."
Brooke said, "you didn't answer my question Lucas" Lucas looked down at the table and said, "the truth?" Brooke nodded and said, "yeah .. I think I deserve this much, you know what I know the answer.. so the question is how long you've been in love with her?"
Lucas kept looking down and said, "hmm.. I do love her… I think I always have.. but that doesn't mean I didn't love you" Brooke said holding back the tears, "So you loved her the both times you were with me...all we have been through together.. if her or you would have the guts to admitted to each other your feelings it would never happened.."
They look at each other, Lucas didn't know what to say, because thinking about that way, al she said was true. Brooke said, "you know Lucas, I don't regret anything.. been with you, and maybe one day I'll think that all this mess and the pain were worthy.. but if you or Peyton would have come clean with me from the beginning it would spare me of a lot of pain.."
Lucas look at her and said, "Brooke, I wouldn't trade what we had for anything, I don't regret been with you.. I wouldn't chance that.." Brooke stood up and said, " So are you two together now?" Lucas looked at her and said, "well.. not exactly"
Brooke looked at him and laughed and said, "oh yes, because now we're not together you can't be with her" Lucas said, "it's not that Brooke, I know that how I dealt with thing was wrong, believe me, and I hope someday you'll forgive me, but right now I'm trying to do the right thing.. better late than never".
Brooke out the ice cream away and said, "I believe that you're sorry Luke, and I hope one day I can forgive, but now can't do that. So it's time for you to go, you came.. I let you say what you wanted.."
Lucas walked up to her and said, "Friends?" She looked at him and said, "no, just not enemies… which is very different" She walked up to the door, Lucas followed her and said, "I know one day we'll put this behind us and be friends"
Brooke opened the door and said, "maybe.. one day, bye broody" Luke said, "I'll see you around pretty girl" and Brooke close the door.
Lucas had left and Brooke sat on the couch and stood there quiet and she didn't cry. At that moment she decided she wasn't going to cry for Lucas anymore and that despite the fact that she was pregnant with his child, she wouldn't tell him about it.
He lost the right to be in her and her child life after he betrayed her not once but twice, with her best friend, not fighting for them and today, saying in her face that he always loved Peyton.
Deep down she wanted to tell him, she knew if she did he would be there, he'd try to help, but she wasn't ready for that, she didn't wanted to spend the rest of her life afraid and second guessing everything, waiting for him to mess up and hurt her again, or worse hurt her child.
From that moment on that baby was hers not theirs, in the future she could regret it, she knew that, but right now that was her decision and for her was the right one.
Because despite everything she still felt something for Luke, and tell him about baby would change everything and she literally could handle that. She was a mess, broken, tired, scared and all she could think about was what was the best for her and her baby and right now was stay away from Lucas and Peyton.
Lucas would probably live his life with Peyton, go to college, get married and have a family of their on, and she would live her life with her baby, the only thing keeping her sane, and of course Rachel and Nathan, she couldn't imagine going through this without them.
A month had passed since the night that Lucas and Brooke talk. Things were returning to normal, well as normal as they could get.
After telling Nathan and Rachel about the talk she had with Lucas, they understood why she didn't want to tell him the baby and supported her. Haley that still didn't know about Brooke's pregnancy was just glad things were calm again.
Lucas and Peyton were officially a couple, Brooke tried to avoid them as much as possible, concentrating only on her pregnancy. Rachel was always at her side helping, so was Nathan.
As for Nathan and Haley, they still hadn't finished their talk, but wasn't only their fault, something always interfered and they were dealing with not been together anymore.
Brooke had decided to stay home today, she woke up not feeling so good, she couldn't take any more of morning sickness and decided to take the day off. She was on her notebook, when he saw that she had an e-mail from Jake, he had finally answered.
She and Jake weren't that close friends, but always walked at the same circle and a few days ago she was reading some things about babies and pregnancy and she remembered him, the only person she knew who had a daughter and was her age. So she sent him an e-mail telling everything that was happening and asking for advice. She clicked and opened the email.
- Hey Brooke,
Sorry that it took so long to answer you, but things here were little hectic. So.. you're pregnant, to tell you the truth that was last thing I could imagine you telling me when I saw that I had an e-mail from you.
Glad you did, you always liked Brooke and you'll be okay, I can assure you. When you hold your child will be the best feeling you'll ever feel, you'll see you did the right thing. I hope Nathan and Rachel (even not knowing her personally) are taking care of you. Whatever you need I'm here. Speaking of which why don't you come here for a visit? We can talk in person, I'd love to see you so would jenny and you can practice with her.
See you soon B.
Jake –
Brooke read and smiled, she knew he was a great guy, she couldn't imagine how Peyton let him go. She clicked in reply and began to write. She finished writing when she heard someone calling her from downstairs. She went down stairs, saw Nathan there and said, "Nathan? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at school?"
Nathan said, "I didn't go, had to go to the clinic to see my mother and I received a message from Rachel saying that you're home, so came to see you, how are you?"
They went to the kitchen and Brooke said, "I'm fine, just can't stand these morning sickness any more, I'm going to the doctor today, we'll see what she says. And how is your mom? When she leaves?"
Nathan sat down and said, "she is fine, still don't know, but she doesn't want to return to Tree Hill, what time is the doctor? I'll go with you"
Brooke looked at him and said, "now actually, I'm going to get ready thanks Natey" she gave up telling Nathan and Rachel that they didn't need to do everything for her, she just agree now, the truth is that she loved that they cared so much. Nathan smiled and said, "Welcome Brookie".
Haley, Lucas and Peyton were at school on lunch and Peyton said, "Have you guys seen Brooke today?" The two shock their heads and Haley said, "Rachel is there" she pointed to where all the cheerleaders where and continued, "but Brooke isn't, she must not have come"
Lucas looked up and said "and Nathan, Hales? Where is he?" Haley said, "he said he had some things to do, I'll know later when you meet him in apartment" Haley, Lucas and Peyton, after awhile got back to talk to each other normally, kind of, but it wasn't as before.
Nathan and Brooke were waiting in Dr. Bailey room when she walked in and said, "Brooke, how are we today?" Brooke got up and said, "Hello Dr. Bailey, I'm fine"
Dr. Bailey looked at Nathan and said, "and you are who?" she looked at Brooke and said, "Lucas?" Before Brooke could answer Nathan said, "Nathan Scott, pleasure" they shook hands and Brooke said, "Nathan is my best friend and Lucas brother"
Dr. Bailey said, "okay, come on Brooke, let's take a look at this baby" Brooke agreed with her and followed her to the examination room. Brooke was lying down with Nathan by her side when she heard a little noise, and she said, "humm.. this is the.."
And Nathan completed, "the heart?" Dr. Bailey looked at them and said, "yes, yes it is, and it's very strong" Brooke and Nathan look at each other smiling and Nathan said, "it's amazing"
Brooke was cry and didn't no what to say, and Dr. Bailey continued, "and here is the eyes and nose" Brooke looked and said, "Oh my God" She grabbed Nathan's hands and tears didn't stop dripping from her eyes.
Dr. Bailey printed the photo and said to Brooke, "to continue your collection" before she could say something more Brooke said, "could you give me another one, two more?" Dr. Bailey agreed and said, "of course, here"
The three returned to the office and the doctor said sitting down, "Brooke, you're doing very good, you're nine weeks, and how is the morning sickness?" Brooke said, "Every morning, they will stop right? Please.. I can't take it anymore"
Dr. Bailey looked at her, smiled and said, "it'll, hold on just a little longer, are you eating alright?" Before Brooke could answer Nathan said, "more or less, sometimes she doesn't eat" Brooke looked at him with a face like, I can't believe you're telling on me.
But he continued, "and she is a cheerleader, it's safe or she has to stop it?" Brooke continued to look at him and said, "Nathan!"
Dr. Bailey smiled and said, "Brooke I see that you are in good hands, but you have to eat, you're eating for two now, even when you don't feel like eating try eating a little and don't forget to drink lot of water, and about the cheerleading for now you can continue, but taking easy, no cartwheels and each time you come we'll see"
Brooke nodded and Nathan said, "Don't worry Dr. Bailey I'm keeping an eye on her, I can't let anything happen to my nephew/ niece can't I?" Brooke and Dr. Bailey smiled, and Dr. Bailey said, "As I said, you're in good hands Brooke, Take care and I'll see you next month" Nathan and Brooke said goodbye and left the room.
Brooke and Nathan were in the car and Brooke wouldn't stop smiling and Nathan said, "what you smiling about goof?" Brooke said, "nothing, just you, thank you for everything Nate and I have something for you"
She grabbed the photo she asked Dr. Bailey and gave it to him. Nathan looked up and said, "thanks B., I'll keep always with me" he put the photo in his wallet, Brooke smiled and said, "this kid is not even born yet and you're like this, you'll spoil he/she rotten won't you" they laughed and Nathan said, "Of course I will" and they kept laughing.
Luke entered the cafe and his mother who was at the counter said, "I almost didn't recognize you without Peyton glued in your hip" She laughed and Lucas looked at her and said, "very funny, me and Peyton aren't together this much, are we?"
Karen laughed and said, "yes Lucas, but if you're happy I'm happy, you always liked her and I like her too" Lucas took a piece of pie and said, "I'm happy mom, and you? how you doing today?"
Karen said, "I'm great" Haley comes out from the kitchen, she looked at Lucas and said, "well, well, I don't see you around here any more and alone" Lucas said, "you too?" they laughed and he said, " How are you Hales?"
She said, "I'm fine Luke, I miss you though" Lucas said, "I miss you too Hales, how about we spend the day like before just me and you?"
Haley sat at his side and said, "I can't today Luke, I have to talk to Nathan. Tomorrow okay?" Lucas agreed and said, "yeah.. Tomorrow".
Nathan and Brooke were so entertained by each other that they didn't saw Haley and Lucas as they entered the café. Brooke said, "Seriously Nathan what you're complaining about? It was you that said that I had to eat"
Nathan laughed and said, "I said that, but I didn't said that I would pay for it" Brooke laughed and said, "I know.. that I decided by myself" She patted his shoulders, they laughed and Brooke turned to the counter and said, "Karen?!" And that's when she saw Lucas and Haley looking for them.
Haley got up and went to Brooke and said, "Tigger! what brings you here?" Brooke smiled and said, "Nate here will buy me food" Nathan grumbled and said, " yeah, well she is making me, you know how Brooke is! Want to sit with us?"
Haley said, "oh I know" Brooke looked at her and slapped her playfully, and Haley continued, "ouch, are we violent today Brooke? sit down and I'll bring your food before you hit someone else"
Brooke and Nathan sat at the table, Haley went pick up the food and Karen came in and said, "Brooke?! How are you?" Brooke got up and hugged her and said, "I'm fine and you? Is the baby okay?"
Karen said, "we're good, I have to do some things but stop disappearing on me Brooke! Come to dinner sometime" Brooke said, "of course Karen, whenever you want just tell me and I'll go"
Karen went to do her things and Nathan turned to Brooke and said, "it'll be an interesting dinner, your ex mother in law, you with her grandson / granddaughter and your ex boyfriend/father of your child"
Nathan laughed at himself and Brooke hit it again and said laughing herself, "It's not funny Nathan!" Haley arrived with lunch and with Lucas on her side and said, "Brooke I know I you're violent today"
She laughed and continued, "But we can sit with you?" Brooke looked at them and said, "sure, just not pick from my food" She looked at Nathan who was stretching his hand to take it a fries from her plate, the four laughed and Haley said, "no problem" Lucas agreed and they sat down.
