Our Middle

Chapter 3

Authors Note :Thank you all for the feedback and support. There are certain changes I make to storyline. Overall this is my view on how things could of went.

(When you said you wanted to meet up for lunch I was up.)

(When I heard the urgency in you're voice I got out of class. And made up a reason to leave early.)

(So what's going on with you Tigger?) Haley asked.

Brooke sighed deeply. Taking an ultrasound picture out of her purse.

Haley was shocked. And smiled at the picture. Then handed it back to Brooke.

(So this is why I haven't heard from you.)

(Does Lucas know yet?) Haley asked.

(No and I'm not sure I want to tell him.) Brooke admitted.

(I've looked into adoption. Raising a kid in the middle of a second season love triangle.)

(I don't want that. I don't want to be another roadblock between them. I'm taking myself out of it. My heart and head both agree it's over.) Brooke admitted.

Haley 's smile turned to a frown as she listened to one of her closest girlfriends pour her heart out.

(I understand why you would feel that way. But before you make any final choices.)

(Talk to Lucas please. Alone. No interruptions.) Haley suggested.

Brooke looked back at her. (I'll think about it. Did you tell Nathan about the pregnancy scare?) Brooke asked.

(I did. And he was surprised relieved. We got married in high school.)

(That's more than enough. Plus when that happens I would want my parents in town not traveling the world.)

(He got into his dream school. And I'm going to mine.)

(We'll make it work.) Haley insisted.

(If any couple can it's Naley.) Brooke reassured her.

...

Awhile later

(Brooke I'm home!) Rachel announced.

(I was just going to leave you a note. I'm going to talk to Lucas and hopefully.)

(Gain some resolution if not he'll know about the baby.) Brooke explained.

(Good luck. I mean it.) Rachel replied. Hugging her gently.

...

Brooke drove straight over to the Roe home.

She parked in the street. Karen was working at the cafe and she only saw Lucas 's car in the driveway. It was given to him from Keith for his 16th birthday.

That's the story Lucas had told her.!

She got out of the car and walked up the steps.

She bawled up her fist and knocked on the door.

She knocked for a second time. And the door opened in front of her.

(Brooke. I was just leaving. Lucas is right inside.) Peyton said.

(I think you overreacted to everything that happened.)

(That fight between us should of never happened.I told you I wished for Jake.)

(That I would ignore and push away my feelings for Lucas but you just wouldn't leave it alone.) Peyton said.

(How was I supposed to react to you telling me you had feelings for my boyfriend?) Brooke replied.

(The same boyfriend you didn't miss.) Peyton said. As she lingered in the doorway.

(I thought you left.) Lucas said.

Peyton smiled up at him.

(I wanted a kiss goodbye.) Peyton replied.

Leaning over to kiss him.

Lucas breaking the kiss. Seeing Brooke in the entryway.

Peyton left after that. With a satisfied grin.

Brooke rolled her eyes. Feeling a wave of morning sickness even though it was the afternoon. Maybe the baby didn't like them kissing either.

...

(Come in Brooke. I've been wanting to talk I just don't know what to say.)

(We haven't spoken since the break up. How are you.?) Lucas questioned.

(I'm pregnant. But I doubt that matters to you.)

(You probably tossed out anything I ever gave you by now.) Brooke proclaimed.

Lucas was stunned. He always wanted to be a father.

Not yet but he would get ready. He wanted to be the best dad he could be.

(I'm in this with you. I want to be there for the both of you.)

(I don't care that we're broken up.)

(We're going to be a family. Can't we put everything else aside?) Lucas questioned.
