The Test
Ch. 1 K&K
Author's Note: This story takes place after season 3. Peyton never told Brooke about her feelings for Lucas in this story. And the car accident never happened. Everything else is about the same. Each chapter will focus on a couple. This chapter is about Keith and Karen. Sadly Keith is dead but, Karen finds out she'll always have a piece of him with her. Please enjoy.

I wasn't sure what to say when Lucas showed me a pregnancy test. I was a little shocked. One of the girls is pregnant. And it could be Brooke. Meaning that I could be a Grandmother.
"It's not my test Lucas. I am pregnant though." I said admitting the truth for the first time out loud.
"You're pregnant." Lucas said stuttering.
"Yes I am 11 weeks." I said happily.
"I was Keith was here he'd be so happy Mom." Lucas said smiling.
"Me too." I said softly.
"I'll be here for you Mom, every step of the way. I'll be the best big brother ever." Lucas said.
"You already are a great big brother to Nathan and this baby will be lucky to have you." I said.
"He or she will be lucky to have you as their Mom too." Lucas said.
"Thank you Lucas." I said as we hugged.
"If the test isn't yours who's is it?" Lucas asked.
"Could it be Brooke's?" I asked.
No, yes, I mean I don't know." He said nervously.
"Lucas have you had sex with Brooke?" I asked already knowing the answer.
"Yes but, she's on the pill." Lucas answered.
"Did you use a condom?" I asked.
"Well no not exactly." He answered.
We were interrupted by Haley calling. She asked if we could bring her purse to her. I knew her flight was soon. We met them at the airport.
I watched as Haley went through all the purses. She didn't take the one with the test in it. And she didn't say a word about the test.
When Lucas and I got back to the car I could tell Lucas was nervous. He looked so worried. I honestly was worried too. I knew if Brooke was pregnant she would need our complete support. Her parents are never around and I doubted they would be excited about their 17 year old daughter being pregnant.
She was living with Peyton. Once we knew something I would have to sit down and talk to her. I wasn't excited that my barely 18 year old might be a Father. I knew together we would all be okay.
"Mom I think I need to go find Brooke." Lucas said as we arrived home.
"Don't forget the purses." I said.
"Mom I love you." Lucas said.
"I love you too Lucas and everything will be okay." I said smiling.
He nodded and headed for the door. I was going to be a Mom again. I was nervous but, very happy. I called Deb and Whitey and told them the news. They were both very happy for me.
It felt so good to know that I would have Keith's child. I knew Keith would be looking down on us both. And I knew if Brooke was pregnant I would be a happy Grandma too.
