A/N: You may think that this chapter is too soon but it's all apart of my plan so just bear with me and its kinda long.
Brooke sat in the waiting room of the doctor's office anxiously waiting to find out the results of her tests that she had done last week. She didn't tell anyone that she was going to the doctor, she was too afraid that they would automatically think she was pregnant. She didn't want to think she could be pregnant, that was too much to deal with and knowing her luck Nathan would dump her like his dad.
The doctor finally called her name and she rushed into the room. "Well Ms. Davis it seems that you are pregnant." She fell of the stool she was sitting on crashing to the floor. "Are you alright?"
"Are you sure like 100?"
"Yes you're about a month along." Brooke nodded thanking the doctor before leaving and sitting in her car. She knew she should've cancelled her annual check-up she had a bad feeling something like this would happen. Now she had to tell Nathan and she hoped he would take it okay and let her down gently. Then she could run away and start over with her baby. Her baby, she thought she couldn't believe that she was having a baby.
Brooke pulled into school around lunch and set off to find Nathan. When she found him he was reading some magazine not paying attention to Tim who was trying to talk to him about the party tonight. She sat down next to Nathan instantly grabbing his attention. He looked up and smiled leaning into kiss her but she turned and he ended up kissing her cheek. Confused he shoved his magazine over to Tim turning towards Brooke.
"Where were you this morning?"
"I have to talk to you after practice." Before he could answer the bell rang and Brooke left for home since her father called her in sick today. She fell back onto her bed and cried. She was afraid of Nathan's reaction to her news and afraid of what her parents would say. "They'll probably kick me out or disown me even though both are horrible in their own." She said to the stuffed animal on her bed. She loved her hippo that her father gave her when she was little. It was to help her sleep during the nights that he was gone and couldn't lay with her till she fell asleep. She dozed off and woke up to the doorbell ringing downstairs. She jogged down the stairs and saw Nathan through the glass on the door.
"What do you need to tell me?" Nathan asked as she shut the front door. They stood in the foyer for almost 15 minutes when Brooke ushered Nathan upstairs.
"Sit down." Nathan knew what 'sit down' meant that meant there was bad news that he wasn't going to like. "Um….I guess I should tell you where I was this morning and the other morning I wasn't at school. Last week the doctor called to remind me of my annual check-up and I went in they ran some tests. Well today I got my test results." She stopped and took a deep breath sitting on the bed next to Nathan. The color drained from her face and tears prickled in her eyes.
"Brooke what's wrong? What did the doctor say?"
"I'm…………pregnant." She whispered the last part so Nathan wouldn't hear it but he did.
"Are you sure?" Brooke looked him her watery eyes meeting his scared and concerned eyes. Her head fell into her hands and she silently sobbed. "Brooke." He whispered lifting her chin with his finger. "Shh…it's okay." He rubbed her back as she clung to him.
"What am I going to do?"
"We'll figure something out." Brooke looked up pulling herself out of his arms slightly.
"You mean you're not leaving me?"
"I wouldn't leave you. You aren't going to go through this alone, its part of me too." Brooke smiled a little making Nathan smile too. "We can do this; I'll be by your side the whole time."
"You're the best Nathan."
"So are you have you told anyone else?"
"No who would I tell? Haley? Yeah she's not talking to me because I stole her boyfriend so I'm just gonna go up to her and say oh yeah Hales by the way your ex-boyfriend got me pregnant on his birthday. My parents are going to flip might even kick me out. Luke? I highly doubt he'll like to know that his brother got his ex-girlfriend pregnant. Peyton? Well I could probably tell her but I don't think she'll take the news so well."
"Alright I take that as a no." Brooke nodded and locked her eyes on the floor beneath her. "You have to tell your parents and when you do I'll be right there with you."
"When did you get so mature and sweet?"
"It's all a part of being 18, it comes with the age." Brooke giggled a little when she heard her parents come in from their business trip. Brooke's eyes widened like a deer caught in headlights. She swallowed and got up grabbing Nathan's hand for support as she made her way downstairs. Nathan gave her hand a squeeze and she walked into the living room where her parents were sitting.
"Um…mom, dad can we talk to you for a minute?"
"Why of course sweetie what's wrong?" Her mother asked sitting up and looking at her daughter's worried expression.
"Well um…now you have to promise to hear me out."
"Alright dear."
"I'm pregnant." Her mother's mouth fell open and her father sat up straight starring Nathan down. Her father was furious.
"How could you go and do something that stupid? I thought you had some self respect after what happened in California? What the hell has gotten into you?" Brooke started crying.
"I didn't want to get pregnant but I did. You of all people should know about surprises. You didn't even want me!" Brooke screamed glaring at her father.
"Don't speak to me like that young lady; I've given you everything you needed."
"Except parents." She muttered the tears still falling.
"Brooke maybe you should think about getting an abortion."
"No, I got pregnant and I'm going to live with it. My baby deserves the life I never had."
"What is that supposed to mean?"
"It means that you guys are shitty parents. You're never home and only care about business deals and money never about me. This is the only time since I was 11 that we've actually talked for more than 2 seconds. You guys don't love me."
"That's enough young lady I won't have you speaking to me like that in my house!" Her father bellowed.
"Fine! Then I'll leave your fucking house!" She ran out of the room and up to her room. Nathan had no choice but to follow her. She stood in front of her closet throwing things in the duffel bag and suitcase that sat behind her. "Where am I going to go?" Nathan could see the tears falling and she didn't seem to care. She just kept throwing clothes in the bags.
"You can stay with me." She looked at him not knowing what to do.
"You're parents won't let me. Nathan its okay I'll just find a place to stay."
"Brooke you can't afford to find a place to stay."
"I can't impose on you." She sniffled and grabbed her bags. "Can you give me a ride?" He nodded and took her bags downstairs for her. She grabbed her hippo and marched down the stairs. With her candle lighter in one hand and the hippo in another she walked into her father's office where he sat drinking like usual. "I have something for you." She held the hippo up and lit it on fire throwing it on her father's desk. "What happened in California wasn't my fault and you know that!" She walked out of the room and out of the house never to return.
Nathan looked over at Brooke the hurt written all over her face breaking his heart. He hated that he couldn't do anything about it and that she needed to deal with it by herself. Against his better judgment he pulled into his driveway and ushered Brooke into the house. Nathan thanked his lucky stars when he saw his father wasn't home but his mother was.
"Mom we have to talk to you."
"What's up Nathan?" He nudged Brooke to tell her and she took a deep breath and looked Deb in the eye.
"I'm pregnant." Deb's eyes widen for a moment before she contained herself.
"Oh honey I'm so sorry." She stood up from her seat and gave Brooke a hug as Brooke cried.
"Her parents technically threw her out." Deb sighed having some clue what Nathan was going to ask. "Will you help us get a place of our own?" Deb was shocked; she wasn't expecting Nathan to ask that.
"Of course Nathan we'll go 50/50." Nathan smiled a little and hugged his mom. "And until you get a place you can stay here."
"Thank you." Nathan whispered in her ear as he pulled away. Brooke just stood there and watched the action from the sidelines unsure of the future. He grabbed Brooke's hand and led her upstairs. "Are you okay?"
"I wasn't expecting you to do something like that." Nathan pulled her into his lap.
"It just popped into my head. I know that I'm totally not acting like myself right now but how can I when our lives are changed forever? I think its time for a personality change anyway. Our kid isn't going to grow up with a jackass for a father." Brooke sighed and rested her head on Nathan's shoulder. He rubbed her back and soon she fell asleep. He laid down on the bed and drifted off to sleep dreaming of the future.
