Chapter Thirty-Seven: Prom Night as Hater High
Chapter Thirty-Eight: You Call it Madness, But I Call it Love

Chapter Thirty-Nine: It Gets the Worst at Night

Lucas was sitting anxiously in the waiting room. He had some dried blood on his hands and the white button-up shirt he was wearing, his hair was a mess, his eyes were blood-shot, and his hands were clenched painfully under his chin.

Haley and Nathan hadn't said a word to each other since their little fight. But they both knew it wasn't finished. It was as if they had an unspoken understanding. It wasn't the time or place to finish it. Especially when Haley was just as a wreck as Lucas was.

Karen was sitting next to him, her hand rubbing his back as Keith was talking with some nurses trying to find out what was going on.

"Everything's gonna be okay." Karen whispered to him nodding. "You'll see. Before you know it Brooke is going to be so much better than before and-" Karen was cut off by a gasp and everybody looked towards the sound.

Deb looked at everybody confused. "You guys are all here for Cooper?" She asked confused.

Karen shook her head frowning. "No, Brooke. What happened to Cooper?"

Deb shook her head and waved her hand, dismissing. "There was a fire, he got some burns and a concussion. He's fine and awake now." She said and looked at Nathan. "Wanna go see him?"

Nathan shook his head. "No, not yet. Not until we hear something about Brooke."

Deb opened her mouth shocked. "What? What's wrong with Brooke?"

Lucas shook his head as tears made their way down his cheeks. He couldn't talk, it hurt to much to say. He wasn't there for Brooke, again. It always seemed he was never there for her, she was always there for him and now when she needed someone, when she needed him, he wasn't there.

Karen sighed and rubbed his arm. "I'm gonna go talk to Deb. Then, I'm going to see what's keeping Keith, alright?"

Lucas nodded but didn't look at her just kept his head down looking at the floor.

Haley stared at Lucas worried, he wasn't acting right. Well, obviously he wouldn't be acting okay after what happened to Brooke but he was scaring her. Haley got up and walked over to him and touched his shoulder.

"Are you okay?" Haley whispered.

Lucas sighed and shook his head. "She needed me Haley." He told her in a broken whisper. "She needed me and I wasn't there for her, again."

Haley frowned as fresh new tears vacated her eyes. "Oh, Luke. This isn't your fault. This isn't anybody's fautl except whoever did this."

"I swear to God, when I find out who did this they're dead."

Keith and Karen both came back with Dr. Mencia and Deb in tow.

"Lucas?" Dr. Mencia asked, and he jerked his gaze to her. "Can I speak to you for a moment?"

Lucas nodded and quickly got up, following the doctor to a secluded corner. "What's up? How's Brooke and the baby."

"Brooke is fine." She told him.

Lucas sighed in relief and covered his face with his hands. "Oh, thank God." He said quietly. "And the baby?"

Dr. Mencia inhaled deeply. "Brooke as stabbed several times in the stomach, some of which could have been lethal your baby. I was focused on saving the baby and Brooke. Right now, Brooke is getting put into a room and the baby is in NICU."

Lucas frowned. "What's wrong with the baby?"

"The baby has been tested positive for HCM. He also went into distress when I delivered him. I had to do an emergency cesarian section, the chord wrapped around his neck twice, as far as I've seen that hasn't ruptured anything important."

Lucas grinned slightly. "He's gonna be okay?"

Dr. Mencia looked at Lucas somber. "I give him a forty-percent chance. Lucas, you have to understand. He was born almost four months premature. He is nowhere near fully developed. What's keeping him alive right now are the machines he's on."

Lucas' expression was broken and depressed. "So he might not make it." A statement not a question.

"I hate bringing this news. But I am doing everything I can to make sure that little boy is staying alive and healthy." Dr. Mencia promised. "I'm doing hourly checks but you have to understand Lucas, it's not looking good."

Lucas nodded. "But he's alive." Lucas said quietly.

Dr. Mencia let a small smile grace her face. "Yes, he is alive. Would you like to see him?"

Lucas nodded. "I'd really like that. Can I bring my mom?"

"Of course I'll wait here."

Lucas nodded in thanks and walked back over to everybody and they were waiting anxiously. "What's going on?" Karen asked quickly.

"Brooke's fine, they're moving her to a room right now. They had to deliver the baby and he's in NICU." Lucas said quietly. "He's alive, but he isn't fully developed. He's on a ton of machines right now."

"He?" Haley asked a small smile on her face. "Luke, you have a little boy." She said happily.

Lucas grinned and smiled. "Yeah, I can actually go and see him, but I was wondering if you would come with me." He asked his mother.

Karen nodded and walked over towards him. "Of course, lead the way."

Brooke was laying down in bed with her eyes closed. Her entire body hurt, so much. It was like she was one big bruise. Her stomach especially, she moved a hand onto her stomach when a hand came on top of her's. Her eyes snapped open.

"Hey B. Davis." Peyton said quietly.

Brooke smiled a bit at her but her stomach was flat. "Where's my baby?" Brooke asked alarmed looking around. "I'm supposed to be big and jolly not all skinny. Peyton, where the hell is my baby?" She snapped worried.

"In NICU." Peyton said. "You had a little boy." She said trying to smile through the tears that made their way down her face.

"Well then, why isn't he here? Peyton, I want my baby." Brooke said trying to sit up.

"Calm down, Brooke. You're gonna rip your stitches. I'm gonna go get Lucas, okay?"
Peyton asked her.

Brooke nodded and slowly relaxed. "I'll be right back." Peyton promised as she left the room.

Lucas was standing in front of the incubator that held his son. He was so little and was relying on so many machines to keep his little body going. He literally was almost, almost, the size of Lucas' hand.

Karen wrapped her hands around his and kissed his cheek. "Oh, Luke." Karen whispered in awe as she raised a hand to a glass. "He's precious."

Lucas nodded, staring at the little baby. He couldn't believe he had created this. He couldn't believe him and Brooke brought this perfect creature into the world. "I know." Lucas whispered.

"Have you and Brooke thought of names?" Karen asked looking up at him.

"Yeah." Lucas said nodding. "Brooke liked Alan Nathan Scott." Lucas told her. "Wanted to name him after Keith without it being to obvious she didn't want her baby having the same first name as anybody."

Karen stared up at him proudly. "You didn't tell any of us your thoughts."

Lucas shrugged. "We figured we still had about four more months. We didn't even know what we were having until today."

Karen kissed his cheek but she looked towards the door when somebody opened it.

"I'm sorry to bother you but you're fiancé wants you." A nurse told them apologetically.

Lucas nodded. "Yeah, yeah. Um, you can stay in here if you want. I wanna talk to Brooke alone for a few."

Karen nodded. "Go ahead. I'll keep this little man company."

Lucas smiled at her and followed the nurse back to the room. Lucas thanked the nurse and entered the room.

Brooke was laying down in the bed with her eyes closed and her head tilted back breathing deeply. She had some gauze around her shoulders where she had some cuts and that was it though.

"Hey, Pretty Girl." Lucas said quietly shutting the door and walked over to the bed.

Brooke opened her eyes and tears formed in them when she seen them. "Broody." She said before a sob escaped her and she buried her face in her hands.

"What's wrong? You okay?" Lucas asked leaning over her and pushing her hair back so he could see her.

Brooke shook her head. "Where's my baby?" She asked in between shaky breaths.

Lucas laughed a bit and kissed her forehead. "He's fine, well as fine as a baby can be born at five months. But he's alive. He's in NICU."

Brooke looked at him and his heart broke a little, she looked so scared and relieved at the same time. "I wanna see him, Luke."

Lucas nodded. "Alright." He said, not going to argue with her. "Let me talk to a nurse."

Brooke nodded and looked at the door as he left. Call her crazy, but she actually missed being pregnant. She loved that she could just feel her baby moving inside of her and she missed just being able to move her hands to her stomach and her baby being there.

Lucas and a young nurse came back in, she was pushing a wheel chair. Brooke frowned. "I can't walk?" She asked confused.

The nurse shook her head. "Sweetie, I don't think you're want to be doing to much walking. Your gonna be in pain for a few weeks."

Brooke scoffed as Lucas came to her side and took her hand. "What else is new?" She asked but gasped in pain as she fully sat up. "My God."

"You're okay, come on." Lucas said gently as he helped her get into the wheelchair.

Brooke let out a breath when she got finally got in the wheelchair. "Oh my God. My body feels like I got ripped in two."

"Well, they did have to deliver your baby not even five hours ago." The nurse said as she pushed Brooke towards the NICU. "I'll be outside, if you need anything just let me know." She told them as she let Lucas push Brooke the rest of the way in.

"Where is he?" Brooke asked looking at the three babies that were in here.

Lucas pushed him in the back. "He's right here."

Brooke covered her mouth as she looked at her baby. "He's so little." Brooke said quietly. "He is so little."

Lucas nodded and kissed her head. "I know, but he's alive. They're doing everything they can for him, Brooke."

"Does he have HCM? Did they test him?" Brooke asked, though not taking her eyes off her baby.

Lucas sighed. "Yeah, he has it."

Brooke shook her head. "This isn't fair to anyone. Especially not him."

"I know Brooke, I know." Lucas said sadly. "What happened?" He asked her quietly. "Who did this?"

Brooke tensed, she didn't want to talk about what happened. "I don't wanna talk about it." Brooke told him.

"Why? I want to kill somebody I probably never met because he hurt my family." Lucas said.

Brooke shook her head. "Right now, I just want to be happy my son is alive and that's what I'm going to do."

Lucas let out a breath but nodded. "Alright, what do you want to name him?"

Brooke looked up at him with a smile. "I already told you what I wanted to name him, you never gave him any names."

"Well, I like Alan Nathan Scott." Lucas said as he caressed her cheek.

Brooke looked up at him. "Really?" She asked in a happy voice. "Good, because I love that name and he looks like an Alan." Brooke said looking back at her baby. "He's hooked up to so many things."

Lucas nodded. "I know, but that's keeping him going."

"Does it hurt him?" Brooke asked holding his hand tightly.

"It doesn't, I already asked." Lucas reassured her. "He's going to be fine."

Brooke looked at her baby getting tears in her eyes again. "God, I hope so."
