Chapter 22 ~ "Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? Cause I could really use a wish right now..."

Considering it was already late when the dinner ordeal was decided, Lucas and I feed the kids and put them to bed, before going out for our special dinner. Lucas and I never really go out for dinner that much by ourselves; all most all of our anniversaries were spent at home, with one of us making a fancy dinner for the other. So to say that I was excited tonight was an understatement. Not that I didn't love my family, but I also loved being with my husband, my husband who hasn't been home in 2 weeks.

"Luke, you ready to go?"

"Yea, just grabbing my keys."

"Alright, well I'm going to do one more check on the kids, and then we'll get going."

"Ok babe…Hey, Cheery?"

"Yes, Broody?"

"You look amazing tonight, and I love you so much. God, if the kids and Peyton weren't here right now, I would rip you out of those clothes and make love to you right now." Lucas said, placing kisses on my neck.

"I know Luke, I would too. But you know…the kids being here never stopped us before." I said, in between kisses.

"True, but with Peyton here it makes it all too weird. Let's get a hotel room for the night! So I can have you all night long." He said seductively.

"You really want to?"

"Mhm." He said with such cute puppy dog eyes, that I finally realized the kids have inherited the same trait.

"Fine, let me just check with Peyton first and make sure she's ok with it, ok?"

"Good, let's go." Lucas said, grabbing my hand and running down the stairs, like he's a little kid on Christmas morning; glad to know that I have that affect on him. "Pey….Brooke, honey, I need you do to me a favor." Lucas spoke in a serious tone, and that honestly scared me.

"Luke, what's going on?" I asked, finally coming upon the see that Lucas froze at. "Peyton!" I said running up to her limp body on the floor, with a pool of blood at her feet. "Peyt, wake up, Peyt. Come on; let me see those pretty green eyes that I've been jealous of." I pleaded with her lifeless body.

"Brooke, I already called 911, they're here, and they need to work on her. You need to let her go."

"No, I'm not going anywhere."

"Just let them do their job, and let them help Peyton."

"God, Luke." I said, breaking down in his arms. I was so scared, for Peyton's sake and the baby's sake. I didn't want anything to happen to them.

"We are going to take her now; does one of you want to ride with us?" the EMT asked us.

"Ummm…No, I'll drive myself."

"Hey, look at me Pretty Girl, are you ok to drive?"

"Yea, I guess so."

"I'm coming with you; I don't want you to be alone."

"No, Luke just please stay here with the kids. I don't want them to be scared and drag them to the ER so late at night, and besides you should spend some time with them, since you'll be going away soon."

"Fine…" I could tell Lucas was pissed, but he was kind of wrong here. Some one had to stay with the kids. We don't have a normal babysitter, and the only people to watch them besides us were Peyton and Jake.

"I'll be ok, alright? I love you."

"Love you too…"

With that, I got in my car and tried to follow the ambulance, but that was sort of difficult. They were already going fast with their sirens on, and they left while Luke and I were still talking; obviously wanting to get away from the tension growing between me and Luke, and to help Peyton of course. When we got there, the EMTs took Peyton and told me to sit and wait in the waiting room. That was two hours ago and now it's nearing 10:30, I'm getting anxious; pacing the room was my new hobby. Luke called about a half hour ago to check in and see if I had any news. I didn't, but it felt so good to hear a familiar voice, especially my husbands. 11:00 PM, came and went; again with no news and I was slowly becoming the only one in the waiting room. It was then that the doctor came out.

"Family of Peyton Sawyer?"

"Right here." I said with such uneasiness in my voice.

"I'm Doctor Smith and I've been working on Peyton and her son since they were brought it. I'm so sorry…."

AN: I know, cliffhanger, but at least you found out the sex of the baby. =O but I will update sometime next week. Thanks for the reviews for last chapter, reviews make me happy.
