-1Thank you guys so much for the reviews it means so much to me. I'm really glad that you guys like the story. I'm also open to suggestions, if you guys have any ideas for something you'd like to see in the story just let me know. I don't know about you guys but I'm getting really upset with how OTH is going it's like they all have memory loss about the fact that Brooke and Lucas were ever together. I think it's really great that Brooke wants to be a mommy but, I HOPE that she adopts and doesn't do the "sperm donor" thing. I also thought that if this Mark guy makes Lucas the "donor" then maybe he thinks the Brucas fans will shut up. I think that Mark thinks that if they give us a Brucas baby then Lucas and Peyton aka "Pucas" can get together romantically. I think that is A BAD IDEA….. Lucas is meant to be with Brooke he said himself that she's "THE ONE" and he made that basketball shot so not only is she the one but it's destiny for the two of them. I'm starting to realize though that the show may end with him getting together with Peyton. I think a lot of it has to deal with off-screen personal issues. I won't name names but I'm sure everyone knows what I mean. Anyway that's none of my business, I just hate it for everyone that was involved in that because I'm sure they weren't fun days. Sorry that I've rambled but this is a lot nicer than the version my friend heard on the phone. I'm j/k….

Lucas walked into Tree Hill High the next afternoon and found Haley sitting in her classroom grading papers.

"Hey Hales"

Haley smiled and hurried to get up as she went to hug Lucas. "Lucas I heard the news I'm so excited for you and Brooke"

Lucas nodded "Yeah, it's going to change our lives, I have to admit though…Wait, how did you know?"

"Brooke told me….she's so scared though" Haley smiled as soon as she thought about Brooke and Lucas becoming parents.

"She shouldn't be scared, I told her it's not going to be that hard…besides I was the one that was up all those long nights working on it…I didn't think I was ever going to get it done…I mean I kept working at it and working at it.."

Haley held her hand up "Lucas….what are you talking about?"

Lucas looked up at Haley who was looking at him like he was crazy "My book what did you think I was talking about?"

Haley shook her head "Nothing….It's just been a long day"

Lucas hugged Haley again and started to leave "I'm going to miss you when I'm gone…but I'll be back I'll have to come back and see my wife….anyways I have to go there's practice in 10 minutes"

Haley looked at Lucas as he started to walk for the door "I'll miss you too" Haley told him she had no idea what he was talking about but, she didn't want Lucas to question her on what he thought she knew.

As soon as Lucas was out of sight Haley sighed and grabbed her purse and headed to Clothes over Bro's

"So what did Lucas say after you picked him up off of the floor?" Peyton asked leaning against the counter top, helping Brooke fold some shirts.

"Um, well he didn't say much of anything cause I….." Brooke started to say

"Didn't tell him yet" Haley finished she stood in the doorway of the shop with her arms folded and a blank look on her face.

"You didn't tell him?" Peyton shook her head and watched as Haley walked up to the counter and stood next to her.

Brooke exhaled she wasn't sure what to even say "You guys, you have to understand….Lucas has worked so hard for this…I mean there were nights when he didn't go to sleep cause he had writer's block….he's wanted this for so long…and I can't take that away from him….I won't"

Brooke went back to folding shirts, she couldn't stand the fact that Haley and Peyton were still staring at her with looks of disbelief on their faces.

"Well, I'll tell you something right now, If you don't tell him…I will" Haley turned and walked to the door but Brooke ran in front of her and stood in front of it trapping her in.

"Haley, please I am begging you…Don't say anything to him….I'm going to tell him I promise" Brooke moved out of the way of the door and pouted as she looked at Haley

Haley rolled her eyes "Uh Huh" she didn't like to keep things from Lucas and she was going to make sure that he knew about this. "1 day, I'm going to give you 24 hours to tell him…or he'll hear it from me"

As soon as Haley said it Lucas pulled up in front of the store "Now's your chance" Haley turned around and walked to the couch where Peyton was now sitting, Haley joined her and they both kept their attention on Brooke and Lucas who was just walking into the store.

"Hey Beautiful" Lucas wrapped his arms around Brooke and leaned in and kissed her, Brooke deepened the kiss and stood up on her tip toes as she leaned into him. Lucas pulled back and leaned into her nuzzling her ear and whispering "You shouldn't do that….I'd hate to throw you down on the ground in front of all of these paying customers"

Brooke closed her eyes as she listened to Lucas his voice sent chills down her spine and she knew in that moment that she had to tell him…he couldn't leave not knowing she was pregnant. Brooke opened her eyes and whispered his name before pulling back to look up at him.

"Lucas, I think you should sit down" Brooke took Lucas by the hand and walked him over to the couch next to Haley and Peyton.

"Hey guys" Lucas acknowledged Peyton and Haley as he sat down he then looked at Brooke who was twisting her wedding ring around her finger. "What's wrong?"

Brooke looked down at the floor and then at Peyton and Haley who both nodded before looking at Lucas. "Lucas, I know that this isn't what we planned…but there's something I have to tell you…Luke I'm pregnant"

"What?" Lucas couldn't believe his ears she was pregnant. His Pretty Girl was going to have his baby. For the first time in his life Lucas was speechless. He was happy beyond words he just didn't know what to say. He just sat there in silence taking it all in.

Brooke looked at Lucas who hadn't said anything for a few minutes….fear rose in the pit of her stomach and rolled over her whole body like a blanket. She was sure from his silence that he was mad at her. She looked over at Haley and Peyton who were both looking at Lucas waiting for him to say something but he didn't.

"Lucas, I'm sorry…I didn't…" Brooke felt tears welling up in her eyes and she shook her head and walked to the door she grabbed her purse and walked out the door and down the street.

Peyton and Haley sat in shock at what just happened as they watched Lucas get up and follow Brooke up the street.
