Read to the end!

Lucas was enjoying his time with his mother. They had finished up moving the night before, so they went shopping the next day for the baby and Brooke. Lucas wanted to surprise Brooke with some stuff he knew she would love. He was definitely ready to go back to his wife. He missed her even though he had just seen her the day before. Since they got back together they hadn't spent a day apart. He and his mother made their way back to the car. They were laughing and joking. He missed spending him with his mother, because they had been so close. He jumped into the car with his mother and saw his phone flashing on the seat.

He looked at his mother and laughed. "Brooke gets so nervous that she calls me all the time. I should probably call her back before she kills me." They both laughed until Lucas hit the button and saw five missed calls. Two from Brooke, two from Nathan, and one from Haley. He hit the voicemail button to get his two messages.

"Lucas, where are you. It's Brooke. I really need you to come home right away. Please call me as soon as you get this. I love you."

He hit save and moved on to the next message. "Lucas, it's Nathan. Where are you? You need to get home right away. I think Brooke is in labor. We are on the way to the hospital," he panicked at this message and asked his mother to take him to the airport right away. He continued to listen to the message. He heard Brooke scream in the background and ask where he was. It wasn't until he heard the last part that his heart almost stopped beating. It was Brooke crying in the background, "Nathan something is wrong. I think my water just broke, but I don't think there should be this much blood." He heard the panic in Nathans voice, "Brooke, you can't fall asleep. Keep talking to me. I know it hurts, but we're almost there. Lucas get home NOW." And the line went dead. The ride to the airport seemed like forever, even though it only took five minutes from where they were. He kissed his mother quickly and ran as fast as he could to get a ticket. He kept trying all of their phones throughout it all, but he couldn't get a hold of any of them.

"Nathan, where is he? He needs to be here. I can't do anything until he gets here," Brooke cried and squeezed his hand so hard from the pain.

Nathan ran his hand over her forehead to reassure her. She was burning up. "Brooke, the doctors need to put you out. Can you please let them do that? It's for both you and the baby's good. I promise you Lucas will be here soon," he pleaded with her.

"No Nathan, I can't do anything until Luke gets here. I know you are going to be mad, but he promised so I have to wait. He told me I couldn't have the baby without him here." Nathan looked at the nurse who gestured for him to come outside with her.

"Brooke, I have to go out for just a minute, but I'll be right back I promise." She cried, but let him go. He watched her turn on her side from the pain. Her bed had a lot of blood, but she was fighting to wait for Lucas.

"Mr. Scott. If she doesn't let us sedate her, both she and that baby are going to die. She must have moved the wrong way because something is detached and making her bleed. She is losing blood too quickly and her blood pressure is extremely, dangerously high. I know you are her family, so I need permission from you to do it right now." Nathan didn't know what to do. This was something Lucas or Brooke was supposed to decide. He didn't know where Lucas was though and if he didn't respond soon, she and his nephew would die. "You have my permission."

Nathan walked back into the room. "Hey how are you hanging in there?" He watched her cry out in pain, and the bed grew a little thicker with blood. He walked over to her and held her hand. She was starting to go in and out of consciousness. He knew he had made the right decision. A minute later the anesthesiologist appeared in the room. Brooke knew what he was doing and she begged him to stop. "No, Lucas. He needs to come first. Nathan, stop them," she begged, but he held her hand until she was out. He stood up as the doctors rushed in to take her in to emergency surgery. He knew he was crying, but there was nothing else to do. He was scared for his best friend and his brother. He walked back to his wife and their son.

She's a fighter when she's mad and

She's a lover when she's loving and

She's everything

Nathan explained to Haley what happened and she told him he did the right thing. He felt guilty, sitting with her blood on his clothes and making a decision Lucas should have made. At the exact moment he thought Lucas's name, he came running through the doors. He spotted them right away and ran. "Where is she Nathan? Is she okay," he asked as he noticed Nathans blood soaked clothing.

"Luke, I'm sorry. She was fighting and the nurse said she would die if I didn't let them take her. I tried calling, but I couldn't reach you. I did what I thought you would have wanted. We just have to wait now," Nathan said lightly. Lucas thanked him and sat down on a nearby seat, his leg twitching, and twirling his wedding band on his finger. He tried to ask the nurses questions, but no one had answers. It was his own personal hell trying to wait for information. He just wanted to be holding her hand and being there for him.

She's everything I ever wanted

And Everything I need.

When I talk about her I go on and on and on

Because she's everything to me

Every day that passes I only love her more

She's the one I'd lay down my own life for

Thirty minutes later a doctor came out and called his name. "Mr. Scott." Lucas jumped out of his seat before the doctor could get out his words. "Where are my wife and baby? Are they okay," he asked panicking.

The doctor asked him to calm down and asked if he wanted to go and meet his new son. The tears sprang to his eyes and he said yes very quickly. "What about Brooke? Has she seen him? When can I see her," Lucas asked. The doctor told him that another doctor was working on her and he would have to wait for answers from him, because he didn't have any.

Lucas brought his beautiful baby boy out to the emergency room to show Nathan and Haley. They were instantly as much in love with him as Lucas. He had beautiful little blue eyes, blond hair and what looked like a dimple. He was twenty inches long and seven pounds, eight ounce. He was perfect in every way shape and form. Lucas could already see that he had Brooke's personality. He was a fighter and very lively. He had all of the very best of each of his parents' features. Lucas couldn't wait for Brooke to see how beautiful of a baby they had created. The only other moment Lucas could compare this to was the day he married Brooke. She gave him her heart forever, promising to love him forever, and today she gave him a son. Just the thought of how much she had changed his life made him want to cry. As much as he loved his brother and sister-in-law he wanted to share this moment with her.

The nurse and doctor came over to Lucas. "Sir, if you would hand the baby to the nurse, I need you to come with me." Fear shook every bone in his body. "Is everything okay? Can I see my wife," Lucas asked quickly.

"Yes, Mr. Scott you can. Your wife woke up and wanted to speak to you. Please follow us. We need to move quickly before we have to sedate her again." Lucas was running to keep up with the doctor. When he got to the door he had to wash his hands quickly and put on a surgical uniform before he was able to go in the room. It was so that everything was sanitary. As soon as he got in the room he quickly made his way to Brooke. "Baby, I'm here. I love you so much," he said as he took her hand into his.

"Is the baby okay," she asked groggily. "I tried to wait for you Lucas, but my body was just so tired. I'm so tired." He kissed her hand.

"He is beautiful baby. Wait until you see how much he looks like the both of us. I'm so in love with him already. I'm so in love with you for giving us this gift. I'm sorry I was late I shouldn't have left. I'm sorry I made you wait."

Brooke smiled a weak smile at him, "Lucas I need you to do something for me."

He didn't even wait for her to finish before blurting out, "Anything, Pretty Girl."

She took her hand from his and placed it on his cheek. "If I don't make it Lucas, promise me you'll never let him forget about me."

The tears started to form in his eyes. "Don't talk like that. You're going to be just fine. He won't have to try to remember you, because you will be there everyday. He needs you so much. I need you. I can't live without you," he sobbed.

"I love you Lucas. If anything happens, be happy," she said as a tear slipped down her face. She managed a quick laugh, "Just keep yourself and our baby away from Peyton."

Is this the moment where I look you in the eye

Forgive my broken promise that you'll never see me cry

And everything it will surely change even if I tell you I won't go away today

Will you think you're all alone?

When no one is there to hold your hand

When all you know it seems so far away

"That's not funny Brooke. You're not going anywhere. I love you too much to let that happen. Let me know what I can do to fight for you, if you don't feel like you have it in you."

"I'm too tired to fight Luke. I love you more than anything in this…." She said as she drifted back to sleep. Lucas sobbed and begged her to wake up. He sat as long as he could before the doctor took him out so they could finish up. Lucas begged the doctor to force her to fight. She had too much life to live to die today. The doctor said he would do everything he could, but because Brooke had waited so long before she would allow them to do anything, that the chances were less. He leaned against the wall and fell to his knees in tears as he watched the doctor go back in.

Never knew I could feel like this

Like I've never seen the sky before

Want to vanish inside your kiss

Every day I love you more and more

Listen to my heart can you hear it sing

Telling me to give you everything

Seasons may change

winter to spring

But I love you, until the end of time

This was his fault. She begged him not to leave and he did anyways. He made her promise not to have the baby unless he was here and she almost killed herself trying to wait for him. He was always a little too late when it came to her. He shouldn't have made her promise him anything. He closed his eyes tightly and prayed. If he ever needed god to listen to him, this was the time. He was going to fight like hell for her if she was too tired to fight for herself.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lucas walked back to the nursery and held their son. He was telling him all about Brooke and how much she loved him. It was five o'clock in the morning and four days after he had been born. Brooke hadn't woken up yet, but every day he went and fought with her to wake up. He brought their son in hopes that if she was too tired to fight for herself or him she could fight for their baby. He was snapped out of his thoughts when the phone went off. "Come on little guy. Lets go see who is calling this early in the morning. Must be someone crazy," he said as he made funny faces and the baby smiled.

"Scott residence."

"Mr. Scott, it's the hospital. I'm sorry for calling so early but we need you to come down right away."

Every muscle and bone in his body felt like they were going to shatter. The hospital told him they would only call in an emergency, if something were wrong. "I'm on my way," he said as he hung up and put the baby in the car seat. The drive wasn't long, but it felt like forever. What would he do if he lost his baby girl? She was his entire life. He wiped away the tears that were already leaking out.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Lucas grabbed the car seat and ran as fast as he could into the hospital. There was a nurse already waiting for him. "Where is my wife? What's wrong," he got out barely able to breathe.

"Mr. Scott I need you to calm down before I bring you anywhere. Take a deep breath and follow me." Lucas followed behind the nurse with his son to Brooke's room. "Take your time Mr. Scott," she said as she moved to let him in the room. He held his breath and stepped into the room, but couldn't open his eyes.

"Lucas you shouldn't walk with your eyes closed, especially with my baby." His eyes shot open at her words. She was awake. He ran to her, tears falling from his eyes.

"Brooke, baby. I love you so much. I was so afraid you weren't going to make it. I've been such a mess," he said as he sat next to her and pulled her hand into his.

She smiled her big smile and brought her fingertip to his lips to quiet him. "You can't get rid of me that easy, Broody. You're stuck with me for life. Now before I see my son can I get a kiss?" He leaned in so fast. He would kiss her every second that she needed it. His lips carefully found hers and the kiss was so loving and affectionate. They stayed like that for a minute until she pulled back. "Can I see my baby now," she asked as a tear slid down her cheek. Lucas leaned over and pulled their son out of the car seat and placed him in her arms. "See Brandon, I told you your mommy was the prettiest in all the world." He watched as Brooke spent her first moments bonding with him. They were already so much in love after just minutes.

"Brandon Lucas Scott, I'm your mommy and I love you so much," she said as she placed a kiss on his head. She moved over so that Lucas could lay with her. This was the best moment in her entire life. She was in love with the most wonderful man, had a beautiful son, and she was alive. Lucas had Brooke in one arm and the other one wrapped around her and the baby. It was a picture perfect scene that needed just one more thing.

"Lucas, I saw you run from the house, is…" Nathan stopped in his tracks. "Brooke. Oh my God you scared me. I've never been so happy to see you in my life," he said as he walked to her and pulled her into an embrace. Haley came in the room, toting Jamie and tears formed in her eyes at the sight in front of her. Everyone laughed and talked with one another, but Brooke had a hard time taking her eyes off of her beautiful son.

"You know Brooke, if you ever have another kid, I'm staying in the waiting room. You nearly broke my hand and gave me a heart attack with this one. I felt like when Haley had Jamie, except more blood and less cussing," he laughed lightly and Brooke joined in.

"Yea sorry about that. I can be a little stubborn sometimes," Brooke said, actually a little embarrassed. Lucas shook with laughter next to her. "A little?" She nudged him in the sides and he apologized, not meaning a word of it.

3 months later:

"Lucas. Lucas wake up. Can you grab Brandon's bottle for me," Brooke asked rocking her son in the nursery. Lucas walked through the door a moment later.

"Brooke, go get some rest. You have been up with him for forty-eight hours. I'll take care of him," Lucas said and reached for Brandon.

She pulled herself away from Lucas. "I'm good. I want to feed him."

"Okay, how about this. You have been hogging my son and I'd like to bond with him for a bit." He knew playing the guilty card wasn't fair, but he knew it would work. Brooke placed a kiss on Brandon's head and handed him to Lucas. She really was tired so maybe a little sleep wouldn't be bad.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thirty minutes later Lucas walked into his room. Brooke was lying on top of the covers, dressed in a shirt and passed out. Lucas smiled at how cute she looked when she was so tired. He was truly the luckiest guy in this world. He pulled off his pants and shirt and climbed in to bed with his wife. He placed a quick kiss on her cheek, as not to wake her, and went to turn off the light. As he turned over he felt a pull at his rest. He looked back over at Brooke smiling at him. "I love you Luke. I'm so happy you are my life," she said sincerely.

"I think I'm the lucky one," he said as he placed a kiss on her mouth. They hadn't been intimate since before Brooke had Brandon. In all honesty they were both tired and Brooke had needed time to heal. It was in this moment that he realized he had been abandoning his and his wife's needs. His hand traveled from her thigh up to her shirt. He played with the hem of her shirt and used his pinky finger to go under the elastic band of her underwear. "Are you too tired to have some fun time with your very needy husband," Lucas whispered into her ear while nibbling at her lobe.

"I'm never too tired for you baby," she said as she raked her fingers down her chest. "Although, I'm not even sure what sex with you is like anymore," she flirted. "Is it worth it," she said as he moaned in his ear.

"Baby girl, sex with me is always great. I remember the last time I had you screaming so loud I think you woke the neighbors, in fact I know you did because they told me," he said smiling into her neck.

She was already overcome with pleasure and he had barely touched her. "I need you Lucas, please don't make me beg," she groaned huskily. "I want you every day more than you know."

He slid off their clothes and positioned himself between her thighs. The last thing that escaped from his lips before he plunged into her was, "You can have me every day, Pretty Girl. For the rest of our lives."

Some find it in the face of their children

Some find it in their lovers eyes

Who can deny the joy it brings

When you find that special thing

You're flying without wings

You've got to fight for every dream

Cause whose to know

Which one you let go

Would have made you complete
