Chapter Twenty-Six: Can't Stop This Thing We've Started

Rachel stared at Cooper with wide eyes. "Why would you think Dan was the one who ran us off the road? He wasn't even at the wedding."

Cooper sighed and ran a hand down his face. "Because I saw something I shouldn't have and I am a threat to him."

"What did you see?" Rachel asked and frowned when Cooper didn't say. "It's not like he has cameras in here, just tell me."

Cooper looked at Rachel sadly. "Dan was the one that shot Keith."

Haley was now cuddling into the bed with her very awake husband.

"How are you feeling?" He asked her while playing with her hair.

Haley looked up at him and smirked. "Shouldn't I be asking you that?"

Nathan shrugged. "You got more to worry about. Speaking of, how is our little baby doing?" He asked rubbing her stomach softly.

"Fine." Haley told him. "It was just very tiring, worrying about you all the time." She told him putting her head back down onto his chest. "I didn't like sleeping without you."

Nathan shook his head and kissed her head. "Well, now you don't have to."

Brooke was sitting down on her bed staring at Lucas and tears came to her eyes. "Say something, please."

Lucas shook his head and got up. "When did you find out?"

"I realized I was late about a week ago. I got a test and took it today and when we went to the hospital they did a test." Brooke said and stood up. "I thought we were safe."

Lucas shook his head. "I thought so too."

Brooke just stared at Lucas he was standing in front of her and his eyes were drawn to her stomach.

"So we're gonna have a baby." Lucas said bringing up one his hands and put it on her stomach gently.

Brooke nodded and a tear escaped and she looked down. "Yeah. I guess we are."

Lucas picked her head up and kissed her gently. "We're gonna be parents." He said like she didn't know with a small smile making it's way onto his face.

Brooke nodded again and laughed a bit. "Yeah, I guess we are."

Lucas laughed and kissed her again. He was happy, he was dead because his mother would kill him, but right now he was happy.

"We're having a baby." He whispered against her mouth.

Brooke nodded, their noses rubbing together. "I'm having your baby Lucas Scott."

The Next Day

Peyton was walking around the music store with Derek.

"Wow, we have the same taste in music." Derek said coming up behind her and looking at what she was looking at.

Peyton smiled and shrugged. "I like a little bit of everything." She told him lookin at some of the old records.

Derek nodded and continued walking around with her.

"So, did you ever really talk with Ellie?" Peyton asked him.

Derek shrugged. "Don't really remember too much." He said acting a bit saddened by that. "But I noticed you and your Dad are real close."

Peyton shrugged. "We were closer before Ellie came back. We're working on it though."

"Well, well, what do we have here?" A voice said from behind them.

Peyton couldn't stop the smile that came to her face and turned around. "Hey, Chris. What's up?"

"I'm stalking you." He teased her.

Peyton laughed a bit and shook her head. "Seriously, what are you doing here?"

"I saw you come in here and wanted to come and see you." Chris said grinning at her.

Peyton nodded and smiled.

"So I was wondering want to go out and see a movie tonight?" Chris asked her.

Peyton smile grew and she nodded again. "Yeah, sounds great."

Derek coughed and then Peyton turned her head and looked at him. "Um, actually we were going to the movies tonight, right Peyton?" Derek asked her.

Peyton looked at him and closed her eyes in realization before looked at Chris. "Right, I totally forgot. Maybe another time?"

"Well Derek do you mind if I tag along?" Chris asked him smirking a bit.

Derek frowned and then slowly shook his head. "No it's fine."

Peyton smiled again and looked at Chris. "Great, we'll see you there tonight."

Chris nodded and a genuine smile came across his face at the blond in front of him. "Text me the time and I'll be there."

Peyton nodded and felt a blush rise up to her cheeks when he kissed her cheek softly before walking out of the music store.

"So you're not serious about him, are you?" Derek asked her making a weird face.

Peyton laughed and shrugged. "I don't know. I mean, I could really like him. He's not as bad as I thought he would be."

Derek nodded his head and watched Peyton intently while she looked at records.

Unaware to him somebody was onto him...

Bevin was sitting down at the library finishing up her homework when she heard a familiar baby giggle. Bevin turned around with a smile and saw Jake sitting on a bean bag chair with Jenny in his lap reading to her.

Bevin closed her books and put them in her bag and went over to him and sat next to him.

"Hey Jake." Bevin said smiling at him when he looked up at her. "Hello Jenny." She said to the baby while tapping the baby's nose.

Jenny giggled again and did a little hop in Jake's lap. "Hey Bev, what are you doing here?" Jake asked her closing the book he had previously been reading.

"Just some homework due tomorrow that I procrastinated all weekend doing." She told him with a small smile on her face.

Jake chuckled and nodded. "Yeah I usually get that stuff done once this one likes to take her morning nap." He said tickling his daughter's stomach.

Bevin smiled at the gorgeous baby. "She's adorable Jake."

Jake nodded and smiled proudly, like any parent would after someone complimented their baby. "Thanks."

Bevin nodded and looked at Jake again. "You know, I had a real good time when we all went down to the beach yesterday."

Jake nodded and felt a soft smile come onto his face. "Yeah, I had a good time too."

"How about we do it again sometime?" She asked him smiling a little shyly but still seemed confident.

Jake grinned and nodded. "Yeah, that's be great." He said.

Bevin nodded and smiled a little wider at him, before standing up with her bag. "I'll call you later and we can plan something."

Jake nodded and watching as Bevin walked away from him. Jake smiled and looked down at Jenny. "She's something, huh?" Jake asked Jenny quietly. When Jenny let out a small smile Jake nodded. "Yeah, I knew you'd be thinking the same thing as your Daddy." He told her softly and kissed her head before he opened the book and started reading to her again.

Rachel watched as Cooper opened the door and walked in. He smiled a little at her and kissed her softly before sitting down on the chair beside her bed like yesterday.

"So before the nurse interrupter out conversation before, what do you mean you saw Dan shoot Keith?" Rachel asked him staring at him.

Cooper sighed and looked at her. "Listen, you're getting out of here in like an hour alright? We'll talk back at my place."

Rachel sighed and glared at him. "This conversation is not over." She said defiantly.

Cooper chuckled and nodded. "I know."

Brooke was sitting down with Lucas in his living room waiting for Karen and Keith to come back from the store with food for dinner. Karen had invited Brooke over and was actually cooking tonight because she felt a little better than she had been feeling.

"You wanna tell her tonight?" Lucas asked as he came back in the room with a bottle of water and handed it to Brooke.

Brooke shrugged and snuggled into him when he sat down. "I really don't want to, but I guess we have to sooner or later." She said quietly as he hands rested her stomach.

Lucas brought his hands around her and interlaced their fingers on her stomach, over their baby. "I don't think she'll be that mad. It would be kind of hypocritical don't you think?"

Brooke sighed and shook her head. "No, Lucas, it wouldn't. She knows exactly how hard being a parent at our age is. Of course she wouldn't want this for you, she'll probably think I trapped you."

Lucas shook his head and kissed the back of her head. "Nah, she knew I was going to propose to you either way, I talked with her about it."

Brooke tilted her head a bit so she could look at him and gave him a soft smile. "What'd she say?"

"That I picked the right girl." He said and kissed her forehead.

Brooke sighed and closed her eyes. "I'm tired."

Lucas laughed and tightened his hold on her. "Yeah, you wore me out last night."

Brooke giggled and shrugged. "A girl has needs."

"I am very thankful for those needs." Lucas said and kissed her neck softly.

She tilted her head back against his shoulder and closed her eyes. She was exhausted but she felt good. Everything was going for her right now, and she was so thankful for this and she would savor it. Because she knew better than everyone in Tree Hill, that one small thing can send everybody tumbling down.

Keith entered and smiled at them. "Hey, guys." He said as he brought in some groceries and went in the kitchen.

Karen entered in after him and shut the door behind her and smiled at them. "Hey guys." Karen said as she took off her sweatshirt.

"Hey, Karen."

"What are you cooking?"

Brooke and Karen both laughed a bit at Lucas' question. "Um I was just going to make some chicken." She said and raised a brow at him. "Is that alright with you?" She asked him as if he didn't have a say in the matter.

Lucas chuckled and nodded. "Yeah."

Karen smiled and walked over to the kitchen. "Good."

Brooke let out a deep breath she had been holding and looked up at Lucas a little scared. Lucas kissed her forehead and frowned. He was just as scared as she was.

"So, when do I get out?" Nathan asked Haley.

Haley shrugged as she looked up at him, from where her head was on his chest. "I don't know. I think they are gonna run some tests tonight and tomorrow. Then let you come home."

Nathan nodded and kissed her head. "What's happened?" Nate asked as he yawned.

Haley shrugged. "Nothing really I guess, well I mean Lucas proposed to Brooke."

Nathan raised a brow as he looked down at her. "Holy shit, she said yes?" He asked shocked.

"Not at first, but then I guess she did because now she's got a ring on her finger."

"Really?" Nathan asked sounding surprised. "I would have thought she would have waited."

"Well what does it matter? As long as their happy." Haley said snuggling back into his chest.

Nathan nodded and went back to slowly stroking her hair and sighed. "Yeah, I guess."

Peyton was standing outside the move theater with Derek and was waiting for Chris to come and get here.

"You don't mind he's coming, right?" Peyton asked frowning at Derek. "I mean, I know it was just supposed to be us tonight but I like Chris and he's a friend."

Derek nodded and looked at her. "Just a friend?" He asked with a small smile on his face.

Peyton nodded and laughed a bit. "Yeah, I wouldn't be able to be with him. He slept with my best friend and almost ruined my other best friends' marriage."

Derek nodded, agreeing with her. "Besides getting involved with anybody would be stupid." Her brother said snickering.

Peyton frowned at him. "I didn't say that. I do want to meet that special person, I just don't think I've found him yet."

Derek became silent, and just looked around. Peyton stood there as well, not knowing what just happened to cause such a awkward reaction.

Then Peyton smiled and walked a bit and was enveloped in a hug. "Hey, you finally made it." Peyton said moving away from him.

Chris smirked at her. "Though I would stand thee Peyton Sawyer up?" He asked and laughed at the idea. "Nah, just got caught up in something. Now let's go see that movie."

Cooper and Rachel were now in Cooper's apartment. Rachel had just been released from the hospital and Rachel was glad of it. The hospital made her look horrible, she looked much better whenever she decided what she wore.

Cooper was right by her side, he even aided her by helping her onto the couch and was making her some soup in the kitchen right now. But she knew why he was doing this, he was avoiding the subject she would definitely bring up.

He came back in with a grin on his face and handed her the bowl carefully. "I'll be right back, alright? I wanna go change." Cooper said as he indicated to his jeans.

Rachel nodded more involved with her soup than him. She was starving, hospital food was shit. Why give that kind of food to somebody who is sick? That doesn't motivate to get better at all.

Cooper came back out in his pajamas and felt much more comfortable, although his back still hurt from tension. He carefully sat down next to Rachel and put his arm around her. "Feeling okay?" He asked her as he moved her hair behind her ear.

Rachel shrugged and put down her half-empty bowl of soup on the end table. "Depends on your definition."

"Health wise."

"Good, great even now that I have eaten real food." Rachel told him with a smirk. "I told you our conversation wasn't over."

Cooper sighed and shook his head. "I don't even know why I told you."

Rachel rolled her eyes and hit his arm. "Stop. Now tell me how do know Dan shot Keith?"

Cooper sighed...

Cooper was quickly and carefully walking through the halls of Tree Hill High School, his niece and nephew were here and he had to find them. He'd be damned if someone he loved was hurt because an idiot brought a gun to school.

Cooper froze at the end of the hall when he heard Dan's voice.

"You took everything from me."

"No, no I didn't." Keith said calmly, although Cooper couldn't see him-he was hiding behind a wall-but he could just imagine Keith calm exterior. "Nobody has to get hurt."

"You're wrong. You're the reason my life has suddenly gone to shit." Dan snapped at him.

He hear Keith let out a deep sigh. "Listen, if you put the gun down, we can leave. We can forget this whole thing ever took place."

Dan scoffed. "Put your hand down, I'm not giving you this gun. I'll give you a bullet though."

And then the gun went off and Cooper's heart was in his throat. Sure Dan was ruthless but could he really kill Keith?

He heard footsteps away and he heard Dan begin to dial his phone.

Cooper peaked out from where he hid and indeed saw Keith bleeding out on the floor. He should have done something, could have done something. But he didn't. Instead he ran hoping Dan hadn't seen him. But he did, and now Dan Scott had another problem on his hands.

"So you didn't actually see Dan shoot the gun?" Rachel asked him.

Cooper shook his head. "No, but Dan was the one with the gun. As far as they knew, they were the only two in that hallway, and Keith was the one I found bleeding out on the floor and saw Dan walking away without a scratch."

Rachel let out a big sigh and looked at him. "So, now you have blackmail against Dan."

Cooper shrugged. "Not like I could use it or anything, especially if he kills me."

"No he won't, he's not that fucking stupid. You're kind of famous, they would definitely look into who shot you. No offense to Keith or anything, but he's normal. Of course they're just going to write it off as Jimmy did it." Rachel said and ran a hand through his hair and smiled at him. "Even if he does try to kill you, he is screwed."

The Scott Family and Brooke were sitting at the table and looked at the very appetizing food. Brooke's mouth was watering at the sight and she feared she would start drooling, God she was starving!

Lucas smiled and took Brooke's plate serving her and then made his own plate. "Thanks for cooking, Ma."

Karen grinned and made her own plate. "Your welcome sweetie."

Brooke swallowed her food loudly and grinned sheepishly. "Sorry I'm just really hungry, and thank you for cooking and letting me stay over."

"No problem, and eat that's what it there for." Keith said as he dug into his own food.

Dinner was pretty silent, both couples had something on their mind that they didn't know how to get out.

Karen saying she's pregnant because she was scared it would prompt Brooke to admitting something she hoped to God wasn't true, and Brooke was terrified to even try speaking in case her being pregnant blurted out of her mouth before she could stop it. Besides Brooke was a horrible liar.

"So, Lucas, would you mind doing the dishes since I cooked?" Karen asked breaking the silence once everyone was done eating.

Lucas nodded. "Yep." He kissed Brooke's forehead before beginning to clear everybody's plates from the table and Keith stood up to help him clear the table of the food.

Brooke and Karen both moved over to the living room where there was once again silence, except for the basketball game that was on t.v from when Brooke and Lucas were watching it earlier.

"So, how are you Karen?" Brooke asked, letting out a small grin.

Karen nodded. "I'm doing pretty good, how about you? Lucas was telling me you sent a letter to your mother. She get back to you on that?"

Brooke sighed and shook her head. "No, but that's for the better. Don't need her ruining my day."

Karen nodded and then they were in silence again until Keith and Lucas finally made their way into the living room and joined Brooke and Karen.

Keith nudged Karen's foot and looked pointedly over at Brooke and Lucas who were sitting together on the other side of the couch.

"So, Lucas." Keith started and took Karen's hand in his. "Your mother and I have something to tell you."

Lucas frowned and nodded. "What's up?"

Karen took a deep breath and let out a smile. "I'm pregnant."

Lucas laughed a bit and got up and went over to his mother and kissed her cheek. "That's great, Ma."

Karen kissed his cheek back. "I know, I'm so excited."

Lucas made his way back to Brooke and then Lucas stared at Brooke and Brooke shook her head quickly.

"What? What's wrong?" Karen asked. She knew that look and she did not like the look Brooke just got in her eyes.

Brooke stood up and put her hands in her pocket and grinned. "Oh, I gotta go. I just remember I have homework due tomorrow. Yeah, I need to do that to pass..." She trailed off and laughed nervously before she gave a single wave. "Bye." And then she left.

Lucas sighed and sunk into the couch. So much for telling his mother she would be a grandmother tonight.
