Note: This story takes place after the following scene. It is going to eventually be a Brucas.

Prologue:

LUCAS: No, this whole thing scares the hell out of me, okay? But whatever you decide to do, I'll be there. And if you're not ready, then you're not ready, but if you want to have this baby, then so do I. And whatever it takes for me to be a good father, I'll be there. Always. I promise you. I won't let you down. (She starts crying) Hey.

BROOKE: I lied.

LUCAS: What?

BROOKE: I'm not pregnant.

LUCAS: But I saw the test.

BROOKE: I know. Then when the doctor called he said I wasn't pregnant, he said that can happen.

LUCAS: Okay, no, no, no. I was standing right there when he called.

BROOKE: And you had just called me a slut.

LUCAS: So you lied to me to punish me! How could you do that?

BROOKE: How could you cheat on me with my best friend!

LUCAS: Brooke. I never meant to hurt you.

BROOKE: That doesn't really matter, Lucas. Cause in the end it all hurts just the same.

Until the Tears Stop Falling

"Let me go Lucas," Brooke bit her lip and tried to hold back the second wave of tears, "there is no baby so just let me go."

Lucas didn't know what to do or say. He couldn't believe that he was responsible for all the pain that was flashing across Brooke's face.

"Brooke, even though you aren't pregnant I still want to be in you life." He wasn't lying, he had never met anyone like Brooke before and he didn't want to loose her as a friend.

"Lucas!" She stood up from the bed, sitting so close to him was like standing too close to a flame. "You cheated on me with my best-friend! You didn't just mess up our relationship, I no longer have a best friend because of you. I know that it's Peyton's fault to, but I just- Lucas, you broke my heart. Not just a little, you shattered it into a million pieces, leaving me with hardly anything left-" There were so many things that she wanted to say but she couldn't find the right words, "and the worst part of it all is that the little part that you left me won't stop aching for you." By the time Brooke had finished, her face was covered in tears. Her whole body felt numb- there was so much emotion flowing through her.

Lucas took a deep breath, she was right. She had trusted him and he had lied to her. "Brooke, I don't know what to say-"

She shook her head, "then don't say anything-just go." Lucas stood up, he didn't want to leave, but he didn't want to hurt her anymore. However, before he could leave, Brooke's phone rang. Brooke didn't even look up from where she was standing, there was no one that she wanted to talk to.

Lucas looked at Brooke, who was studying her shoes, her arms wrapped tightly around her body. He wondered what she was thinking about. As he looked at her, he hated himself a little more. Peyton had been everything to her, the only person she could talk to until him, and he had taken that all from her. Now, as the telephone rang and filled the silence of the room, Lucas guess that Brooke didn't want to answer the phone because she thought that the person on the line would only end up hurting her.

Lucas began walking towards the door as the answering machine picked up.

"Hello, this is Amy Carrigan from Plan Parenthood calling to confirm an appointment for Brooke Davis tomorrow morning at eight. Please make sure to bring someone with you to drive you home. If you have any more questions, feel free to call us back at 558-6749. Thank you." The dial tone went dead.

There were too many thoughts and questions running through Lucas's head as he turned from the phone to Brooke, who had dropped down to the floor, her arms locked around her knees.

"Brooke-" Lucas ventured as Brooke continued to sob.

"I'm sorry Lucas. I know that you don't love me. You don't have come with me. I can do this by myself." Brooke lied through her teeth once again. She couldn't do this by herself. She couldn't do this at all.

Lucas slowly walked over to where Brooke was and sat down next to her. "Brooke- I'm not going to let you do this alone." Closing his eyes, he tried to think of what he needed to say. "Do you really want to do this?" Abortion. He had almost been aborted. It was a subject that he had thought of before, but never something that he had experienced.

Brooke tried to control her breathing. Did she want to get an abortion? Slowly, she slid one of her hands to her stomach, where a baby was beginning it's life. A baby that hadn't yet felt the pain of life. The pain that she was feeling…did she want to pass that on?

Before she could answer, she felt Lucas's hand cover hers on her stomach. "Brooke, I know you. You want this baby. And," he paused for a second, trying to find make sure that he was sincere about what he was about what he was about to say, "I want this baby."

Brooke's breath caught in her throat and her body took over. She quickly turned and fell into Lucas's arms. She hugged him as tight as she could for so many reasons.

Lucas was a little shocked at first, but them wrapped his arms around her tightly. "We can do this Brooke."
