Onto the story… as always I don't own anything and please please please review.
Chapter 8 ~ "But you'll just sit tight and watch it unwind. It's only what you're asking for. And you'll be just fine, with all of your time. It's only what you're waiting for"
(Lucas's POV)
Today is officially becoming the worst day of my life; Lily and I got into a car accident and top it all off, Brooke just collapsed. She's 4 and a half months pregnant. They took her away from me, and I don't know what is going on. I don't know what I would do if she lost the baby, it would be all my fault; Brooke would be a mess and it's all my fault. What are we going to tell Lily and Landon? It seemed like just yesterday that Brooke was telling the kids and me about the baby.
FLASHBACK
"DADDDY!!!!" a four year old Lily screamed, which was accompanied by the screams of an 11th month old baby.
"Brooke, go get the kids. I'm going back to bed." I mumbled, while rolling over.
"I don't think so, I'll go get Landon, you go get Lily, and she's calling for you." Brooke said laughing because she knew that I was never a morning person.
"Fine, I guess I'm going but that does not allow you to go back to sleep."
"Deal."
"Merry Christmas, my Pretty Girl."
"Merry Christmas, Broody." And with that we shared a passionate but quick kiss before going there separate ways.
"Hey there Landon, no more tears. Mommy's here." As soon as Brooke lifted the baby out of the crib and he felt her skin against his, he immediately calmed down and he and Brooke went downstairs to meet up with Lily and myself.
"Morning, Lily." Brooke said with a smile on her face probably because Lily was also smiling.
"Merry Christmas Mommy!"
"Merry Christmas and look at all of the gifts Santa brought you, I guess you've been a good girl this year."
"I've been a very good girl and I've been helping out with Landon." See this was Landon's first Christmas and since he arrived almost a year ago Lily has been such a big help to me and Brooke.
"I know you have."
The day went on and when it came time for the kids to go and take their naps before we went to my mom's house for dinner, Brooke and I decided to exchange gifts, as much as Brooke didn't really want to.
"But Luke, we don't need to get each other anything and I don't want anything."
"You say that now, but really I didn't mind getting this for you. I love you and I want to show you how much I love you. So, Merry Christmas Brooke," I said, handing hear a Tiffany's box that contained a charm bracelet: one charm for our first Christmas together, one charm for our anniversary, one charm for the day Lily was born, and finally one charm for the day Landon was born.
"Luke, I love it. But I can't accept it."
"Why not?"
"Because I didn't get anything for you."
"That doesn't matter Brooke, all that matters is that I love you and you love me.
"It wouldn't be right. I'll get you a belated Christmas gift."
"No Brooke its fine." I love my wife, but sometimes she is so stubborn
"Well I do kind of have one gift for you."
"Oh, yea. What's that?" I said getting excited
"I'm pregnant." Brooke mumbled, not sure of my response.
"Did I just hear what I think I heard?" I asked in disbelieve.
"Mhm."
"That's great Brooke." As soon as I said that she sighed a breath of relief, I'm sure she was worried about my reaction to it. "When are you due?"
END OF FLASHBACK
But now all that might change, and it is truly my fault. But then all of a sudden there was a voice that pulled me out of my thoughts.
"Luke, come see Lily, she's back in her room."
"But Peyton I can't leave her here, what if she wakes up?"
"I'll be here and I'll come and get you in a heart beat."
"But Peyton…"
"Luke, quit being so stubborn and just go see your daughter." Brooke mumbled.
"Brooke your awake!!" Both Peyton and I said at the same time. "I'll go get the doctor and give you two some time to talk." Peyton said and bowed herself out.
"You have no idea how happy I am to see you Pretty Girl."
"Don't you damn Pretty Girl me, right now Lucas."
"Brooke calm down, this can't be helping the baby. And I'm sorry; I know this all my fault. And I know that I've been saying that a lot lately, but it is true. Everything is my fault: if we didn't fight this weekend, you wouldn't have come up here to Peyton's, which in turn means that I wouldn't have gotten into the accident with Lily. I'm so sorry Brooke, I understand if you don't forgive me right away, I know was wrong and I understand where you're coming from."
Everything I just was true, I was speaking straight from my heart. I was actually kind of anxious to hear Brooke's response, but there was a knock at the door. It was the doctor and Peyton. Peyton told us that she would give us some privacy with the doctor and go get Lily to bring her down here to see us.
"Well, it looks like passing out was caused by too much stress and you were severely dehydrated. Now let us look at the baby to make sure that it is ok." Here it is the moment of truth, and I can honestly say that I was shaking because I was so nervous. "It looks like both babies are ok." Brooke and I just looked at each other with a puzzled look written all over our faces.
