Tried Our Best
Chapter 12
"I don't think i'm allowed in here." Lucas said. Double checking to make sure they were alone. In the women's bathroom.
"I couldn't care less about that. I took three pregnancy tests Lucas."
"I'm pregnant. This cannot be happening. We're normally so careful." Brooke said. As she paced back and forth in her red sweatsuit.
"Brooke you know how things get with us. And maybe we weren't as careful the last few times."
"It'll be okay. I promise." Lucas said. Wanting to reassure her.
"Our futures. Our life. We aren't ready for this." Brooke said. Feeling herself begin to panic.
"Msrry me." Lucas said.
Brooke's eyes went wide.
...
"The two of you will be welcoming a baby boy." The ultrasound tech announced with a smile.
Lucas kissed Brooke gently.
"So it begins. The next generation of Scott boys."
"Hopefully he takes after his dad." Brooke said.
As Lucas carefully helped her off the exam table.
Brooke put her hand on her belly. Feeling kicks.
"I'm going to be a boy mom. I want him to have what we didn't." Brooke said.
"We have the house his happily married parents. That's a good start so far." Lucas replied.
"It's only right we pay tribute to the man who was a father figure to you."
"He was you're dad in every way that mattered." Brooke explained.
"We're naming him Keith." Lucas said. With emotion thick in his voice.
...
"I like our late night River court basketball games fine. But what's really going on here.?" The 17 year old asked. Looking to his father.
"Can't i just want to spend quality time with my first born without anything being wrong.?" Lucas asked.
"Sure i guess you're right. Plus i've been wanting to talk to you."
"I wasn't sure how to bring it up." Keith said.
"We can talk about whatever is on you're mind." Lucas replied.
"How do you know if you're ready to have sex or if you're only doing it because you everyone around you is.?" Keith asked.
"This kind of decision needs to be made by both you and her."
"And i can tell you honestly half of those people are lying."
"You're first time should be special with someone you love who loves you."
"I didn't have that experience. And i hope you do."
"Being in love and safe about everything. Will ensure that there is no regrets." Lucas proclaimed.
