Life Happens
Chapter 5
What I Never Knew I Always Wanted
Brooke Davis had never been the type of girl to be in a steady relationship and be committed to one guy, but when she met Lucas Scott, she knew she was in trouble and he would be the one that could break her heart. Lucas Scott did break her heart, but ever since they got back together and been falling in love; it's been amazing. Brooke also was practical too. She was still keeping her eyes wide open when it came to the father of her child. She wasn't blinded by love completely. There was still the fact that he cheated on her with Peyton, her best friend and it was hard for her to forget about what happened, but she wasn't focused on it either. She loves Lucas and that's all that matter until he messed up again then there's no going back.
Lucas Scott was head over hills in love with Brooke Davis. She was his everything and she was giving him the greatest gift he will ever receive, his son. He knew that he didn't do right by her the first time they were together, but he was going to do better this time. He was determined to make Brooke completely believe in him again and this time the risk for too great and too many people could get hurt, him, Brooke, and his child. Brooke is the most beautiful girl in school, and he was lucky that she even looked his way with all the attention she gets from guys and even with her being seven months pregnant that still hasn't changed. Every guy wants to be with Brooke and every girl wants to be her. He wanted her to be his wife, but he knew she didn't want him to marry her just because of the baby but for love and they could build a home for their baby on the foundation of that love. He did love her, and it was so much love for his seventeen-year heart. No one knows what the future holds, but he was determined to make Brooke his love for life.
It was Saturday afternoon and Brooke were lying in Lucas' bed wrapped in his arms. She was trying to read her magazine while Lucas was playing with their son inside of her belly.
"Lucas! You're making him kick me and bounce on my organs" Brooke whined and pouted "He gets too excited when he hears your voice"
"He's already Daddy's little champ" Lucas exclaimed as he kissed Brooke's belly once again.
"Well, Mommy is tired and wants to relax." Brooke started "but, Daddy's little champ is too hypered up".
"Sorry, bae, I'll play him some music to mellow him down" Lucas said as he got up to find his CD player.
"What are you going to play? Backstreet or NSync?" Brooke asked giggling as she teased Lucas.
"Absolutely not, my kid will have good music taste" he said as he teased back and finish setting up his CD player.
Beauty queen of only eighteen, she had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her, she always belonged to someone else
I drove for miles and miles, and wound up at your door
I've had you so many times, but somehow I want more
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay a while
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
Tap on my window, knock on my door, I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure, it doesn't matter anymore
It's not always rainbows and butterflies, it's compromise that moves us along, yeah
My heart is full and my door's always open, you come anytime you want, yeah
I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay a while
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
And she will be loved
"Maroon 5? Nice taste, I guess but Britney Spears or Michelle Branch and Jessica Harp" Brooke responded.
"I never would've guessed you would like Maroon 5 and recognize their music and I'm not even going to entertain the Britney Spears suggestion"
"Are you kidding me? My best friend is Peyton Sawyer" Brooke said matter of fact. "We literally spend every other weekend at the record store or in her room listening to music of every genre"
"Okay, I can see that" Lucas started "what's a song that describes how you feel right now?" Lucas asked and Brooke scrabbled through his playlist.
"Here we go, I feel like this one is perfect" Brooke said as she played the song.
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
"I love it, Pretty girl, you have a good ear and I love you too" Lucas said as he kissed Brooke on the lips.
"Okay, Lucas it's your turn again and make it good" Brooke said.
"Ok, I got one" Lucas responded.
What day is it
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up, and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
'Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me
And all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
What are the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right?
I'm tripping on words
You got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
'Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me
And all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
"Lighthouse, you and me" Brooke responded "Peyton use to listen to this song when her and Nathan would breakup and get back together as they did much too often.
"Well, that was kind of their thing from what I could tell" Lucas said as he pulled Brooke closer to him "You're amazing Brooke" he stated as he watched Brooke singing to herself.
"Luke, I want our kid to be just like you" Brooke started as she blushed a little "I want him to be a bookworm, music lover, and a kind person"
"He should definitely be free-spirited like you" Lucas started "your free-spirit and your confidence is what attracted me to you. I wanted to be as carefree as you were"
"And look where that got me" Brooke said "I'm pregnant at only 16 ½ years old. I love this baby growing inside me, but sometimes I wish we would have done things differently, like getting to know each other first and you completely ending whatever you had with Peyton before we got involved with each other"
"Sometimes I think about it too" Lucas started "how it would've been if we did things differently then I think about that all this was meant to happen; for us to be a family and have our son to teach and love through his life"
There's something about you now
That I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
'Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people.
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off you.
What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
"I love you, Lucas, you're an amazing guy; most guys would've run for the hills by now" Brooke started "l'm glad I finally told you about everything."
"Did you tell me or Did I sort of figured it out" Lucas teased.
"Okay, so I didn't tell you on purpose, but I was going to tell you on my own" Brooke responded "I did originally tell you everything I just lied about my plans"
"I know why you were hesitated to tell me at first, because my stupid reactions at the start of all of this" Lucas said as he cuddled closer to Brooke.
"I know you were freaked out because I was freaked out myself" Brooke said "I mean what are we going to do with a whole tiny human at 16 and 17 years old and carrying a baby in my body for 9 months before graduating high school and college; definitely wasn't in the plans, but I don't think I would change a thing because I would fall in love with you all over again and if it resulted in this pregnancy then it was just meant to be"
"I feel the exact same way and I wouldn't have changed a thing with us falling in love and creating a life" Lucas said "I do wish we were older than 17 but this was meant to be and I'm happy" Lucas finished as he lifted Brooke's chin to look up at him and proceeded to kiss her with much passionate.
"mmm" Brooke responded as she deepened the kiss that quickly turned into a full make out session "Where's your mom?" Brooke asked as their make out session was turning into foreplay.
"Sheee in the kitchen, but she's going to the café in a minute" Lucas said as his hand started to disappear under Brooke's shirt.
"Luke, wait, stop. We should wait until she leaves before, we shouldn't start anything" Brooke said as she trying to resist Lucas touches and caresses.
"Come on babe, please" Lucas pleaded as he kissed a pathway down Brooke's neck. "She'll be gone in a few minutes, I promise" he continued as he looked into her eyes not stopping his actions with his hands.
"Lucas...I can't think clearly with you doing that" Brooke said as she bit her lip trying not to moan out loud as he guided her into his lap gripping her hips to make her go harder as she grinds against him. Lucas is still attacking her neck with open mouth kisses.
"Lucas, have you seen my keys?" Karen said as she opened Lucas' Room door, immediately closing it when she seen what was going on.
Brooke immediately got off Lucas and he looked like he was about to pass out.
"Do you think she saw us?" Brooke said panicking.
"Yes, I did, and I want both of you in the living room now" Karen said sternly.
"Oh, shit" Lucas said as he got up fix his clothes.
"Yea, oh shit is right" Brooke responds as she pushed pass Lucas to go to the living room as Karen instructed.
The teenagers went into the living room and slowly set on the couch with their heads down.
"Okay, I just want to say I'm not upset but Brooke you are already pregnant and in a few months you all will have a brand-new baby; because you are so young there is a very good chance that you can easily get pregnant again" Karen said.
"I'm so sorry, Karen, we just kind of got out of hand" Brooke said barely looking at Karen.
"Yes, mom, we got out of hand, more me than Brooke" Lucas started.
"You all can't get carried away after this baby gets here because you two are going on to college and living your lives with your baby but if you get pregnant again it's going to be even more difficult to achieve your dreams" Karen explained. "I'm not naive enough to think that you two are not having sex because your situation proves that you are but I'm just saying you have to start growing up and being more responsible about these things like locking the door."
"We weren't planning on it going that far and next time we will lock the door" Brooke assured Karen.
"Ok, Lucas go back to your room, I need to talk to Brooke for a moment" Karen said.
"Yes, ma'am" Lucas said as he left looking back at Brooke.
"Ok, Brooke, what's the plan for birth control once you have this baby?" Karen asked initiating girl talk.
"Ummm, I was going to get back on birth control, but definitely something different then I was on before" Brooke said nervously.
"Have you asked your doctor for any suggestions? Because honestly you and my son seem to be like two cats in heat and teen hormones are raging around here apparently so we need a plan. After I had Lucas, I got back on the pill, but the pill might not be right for you because your busy and being a mom and going to school can be hard."
"I realize that, and my doctor suggested the patch or this device that go in your arm and lasts three years both are good options for me" Brooke respond.
"Please just lock the door, I don't want to see that again" Karen said seriously.
"We are so sorry, Karen" Brooke said embarrassed by the situation and Karen gave her a hug.
"Just remember, what we talked about" Karen said as they pulled apart.
"Okay, I definitely will" Brooke said smiling.
"You can come and talk to me about anything" Karen said "you're like my daughter"
"I love that, Karen and I will keep that in mind" Brooke said.
Karen sent Brooke back to the room with Lucas and said goodbye as she finally left to go to the Café.
"Lucas, that was so embarrassing" Brooke said "Your mom basically just walked in on me riding her son" Brooke said in shock and Lucas started laughing getting a slap on the shoulder from Brooke "this is not funny, Lucas Scott, I told you to wait until she left" Brooke said not amused at all.
"I know but the look on my mom face was traumatizing" Lucas started as he stopped laughing "I have to laugh, babe or I'll never be able to look my mom in the face again"
"Still not funny, what if one of us walked in on our son" Brooke said cringing at the thought.
"Oh, he'll be grounded for sure" Lucas responded.
"I'll probably cry if this was actually a little girl because I'm pretty sure she'll be me times 10."
"We'll probably have a daughter later in life when we're much older and married" Lucas explained as he laced their fingers together. "But that would be great because she'll be kind, smart, beautiful, fun, and a great friend just like her mom."
"Boyfriend, you're so sweet, maybe you'll get lucky but not right now" Brooke said "I'm still recovering from what just happened."

"Deb, it was horrible, I walked in and there was Brooke moving on my son barely dressed I nearly had a heart attack" Karen said trying to whisper with her customers around.
"I mean Karen, she is pregnant, so sex is involved in that process" Deb said trying not to laugh "I would totally freak out to if I walked in on Nathan and Haley; I nearly walked in on him when he was dating Peyton, that was horrible so I can only imagine getting a sneak peek"
"Yea, I don't want to ever see that again"
"Okay, let's change the subject, Have the two lovebirds come up with names yet or set up a nursery?" Deb asked.
"They were talking about the names Michael, Braden, Luca, Grayson, Noah, Jace, or Cristian for a boy but they just have to narrow it down to one" Karen said "Lucas and Keith was going to set up the nursery while Brooke, Peyton, Haley, and I have a girls' pampering and shopping day"
"When is the baby shower? Brooke is getting close to her due date and the baby will need a lot of things" Deb said.
"Well, probably next month when she's going on eight months, but we'll start getting things when we go on our girls' shopping trip this weekend" Karen responded "You should come with us, it'll be fun"
"Ok, I'm in, sounds like fun" Deb said.

The weekend came around quick and because Peyton was home alone, Brooke and Haley stayed over for a sleepover on Friday night. Early Saturday morning, Brooke woke up craving pickles and peanut butter. Brooke went in the kitchen looking through Peyton's cabinets very loudly.
"Brooke! It is 8 o'clock in the morning. What are you doing?" Peyton said coming the kitchen looking like a zombie causing Brooke to giggle a little.
"Sorry, P. Sawyer, my little peanut is making me crave pickles and peanut butter for breakfast. Do you have some?" Brooke said still searching the kitchen.
"Brooke, that's disgusting, bestie" Peyton said making a disgusted face.
"What's disgusting?" Haley came in the kitchen yarning.
"Baby mama having weird cravings for pickles and peanut butter" Peyton explained.
"Don't make fun of me, I just want control of my body back" Brooke said starting to cry as her hormones took over.
"Don't cry Brookie, it's almost over then you and Lucas will have a cute little baby" Peyton said as both she and Haley went to comfort Brooke.
"Yea, we're have a little helpless baby that Lucas or I have no idea how to care for" Brooke vented.
"You all will figure it out with the help of Karen, your parents, all of your friends" Haley said, "We will all be here to help out, this baby will be so loved."
"I know, but we'll be seniors next year and I'll be a senior with a baby that'll be under 1 year old" Brooke explained. "I'm being such a basket case, it's the hormones I promise". She said as she giggled a little as she wiped her tear-stained face.
"It's okay Brooke, we love you no matter how much of a basket case my god baby is turning you into" Peyton said teasing as she gave her best friend another hug.
"I love you too, Tigger" Haley said as she joined in the group hug. "Now let's get ready to go to the mall so we can do some shopping for this little rug rat". Haley continued as she placed her hand on Brooke's baby bump.
They all got cleaned up and dressed to spend a girls' day at the mall with Karen and Deb.
The girls' rode in Peyton's car to the mall and they met Karen and Deb in the food court. They greeted them with hugs and decided to start at little baby boutique called 'Little Angels'.
"I don't know where to start Karen" Brooke said as she started looking through baby clothes.
"Well, honey, we can just get some basics like bibs, onesies, socks, blankets, bottles and the other things can be put on your list for the baby shower" Karen explained as she picked up some things.
"What about this blue and white blanket with baby zoo animals" Peyton said showing Brooke.
"Aww, that's so cute" Brooke said admiring the blanket "I think the muffin will love it."
"The muffin?" Haley asked.
"Yes, most people say bun in the oven, I've calling my baby, the muffin, it fits" Brooke said matter of factly.
"You're so cute, Brookie" Peyton said hugging her best friend "You're going to be the best mom ever."
"Yea, I'm going to be the teen mom of the year" Brooke said rolling her eyes playfully.
"Despite the age thing, you and Lucas are going to be great" Haley said encouraging Brooke.
"So, what is your baby daddy/future hubby doing while we have our girls' weekend?" Peyton asked.
"First, he is not my husband, he is just my baby daddy and second, him and Haley's future baby daddy went to go play basketball with the river court crew and some guys from the team." Brooke answered.
"Hey, so you're saying I'm next on this pregnancy train?" Haley said fake offended.
"I'm saying you and Nathan are married now and he is a Scott, and they have biopic sperm apparently" Brooke responds.
"Hey, don't wish that on me" Haley said playfully hit Brooke's shoulder "Anyway with the problems Nathan and I have been having lately, we are not ready for a baby anytime soon."
"You think me, and Lucas were ready, this pregnancy was definitely a slip up but I can't say I'm completely bummed that it happened" Brooke started "I fell in love with Lucas and this baby was a result of us falling in love, also no matter what happens with us, we will be connect for life because of this little bean we made together and I'm okay with that"
"I believe you and Lucas are going to be a once in a lifetime type of young love, even if life change for you two, your love will always bring you two back together "Karen said as she rejoined the young teens.
"Thank you, Karen, I hope you're right" Brooke said as a rubbed her baby bump "I think I'm all set with the basics, I'm ready to go get some fries with some barbeque sauce and a juicy burger."
"Oh, come on, preggers, let's feed you and the muffin" Peyton said as she lead her pregnant friend out of the store while Karen and Deb paid for the items they had found for the baby.
The group of five went to have lunch in the food court and then finished their shopping. After they finished at the mall and parted ways with Karen and Deb, the girls decided to go surprise the guys at the river court before heading back to Peyton's house.
The girls pull up to the river court in Peyton's car, they all get out and walk up to the boys who are sitting at the picnic table talking.
"Hey, babe" Lucas said as he went straight to Brooke to give her a kiss and hug. "How's my son and my favorite girl doing?" He asked as the hesitantly pulled out their embrace.
"We're fine, just tired and I been having these cramps all day, it's weird" Brooke said as she rubbed her baby bump.
"Cramps? We need to get you to the hospital. I don't think that's normal, Brooke" Lucas said looking concerned.
"Hospital?" Peyton asked as she heard the end of the convention between her friends.
"It's nothing, I just been having these weird cramps all day and they started to get more intense a couple of hours ago" Brooke explained as she felt another intense cramp and was trying not to cry to not freak out her boyfriend and friends any more than they were already.
"Okay, Brooke we are going now, you look like you are in a lot of pain" Peyton said and everyone agreed rushing to their cars.
They got Brooke the hospital and they took her back immediately. The looks on their faces showed their concern.
Lucas called Brooke's OBGYN on the way to the hospital and she ensure them that getting Brooke to the hospital was the right thing to do and she would be there right away.
The doctor walked into Brooke's room smiling at the young couple cuddled up on the bed with their family and friends surrounding them.
"Brooke and Lucas, I got good news and bad news, which one you want first?
"Please give us the bad news first" Brooke said worried about what she was going to say.
"Ok, Brooke you are in pre-mature labor and its more common than you would think giving that you are young." The doctor started "The good news is that your baby boy is strong and he's okay. We can slow the labor down and maybe even stop it for now but I doubt you will carry this baby to term. He's will be born early and will have to stay with us in the NICU for a little while. I will do my best to stop your labor and push this pregnancy until at least the 8-month mark."
"Please do everything you can doctor. I will feel better with one month early rather than two months early" Karen said.
Brooke cramping had stopped for the time being and she was receiving the medication to stop her premature contractions. Everyone was hopeful and waiting to see the outcome.
