Mouth Shut - Chapter 22 Dogs and Doctors

"I want this one!" Broody yelled excitedly pointing to pit bull.

"Oh no buddy." Lucas tried not to laugh. "He's going to get huge."

"Yea, Broody." Brooke smiled, holding his hand. "No big dogs."

"I don't want a girl dog." He complained.

"You don't have to get a girl dog, little man." Lucas reminded him.

"Ah," Brooke said walked over to a small cage. "let's get this one. He's cute." She cooed.

Broody ran over there. "I want him, Daddy. I want him!"

Lucas sighed, and went over to the cage. The dog was panting. He was cute. "Uh, how big is he gonna get?"

"I don't care." Brooke cooed as the puppy placed his paw on the glass. "I want him, Luke."

"Yea, I know. I just don't want him to get big." He said.

Brooke stood up, and wrapped her arms around his waist. Thankfully Broody was busy looking at the puppy. "Please, please, please." She pouted.

"Brooke," He groaned.

She knew he was breaking. "I'll make it up to you." She smirked.

He smiled back and nodded.

Brooke looked at Broody, before kissing Lucas quickly. "Now you go tell them, while me and Broody look at how much of a cutie he is."

Lucas sighed before going to find a worker.

"Damn, it." Brooke cursed when she got back to Lucas' house.

"I'm sorry he was already sold."

"Then why'd they leave him in the damn cage." She snapped. "It was tease."

"Relax, he said he'll be getting more American foxhounds in two weeks."

"I don't want another one." She stated. "I wanted Veto."

"You named him?" Lucas asked in disbelief.

"Maybe."

He sighed. "You get attached to quickly."

"What can I say?" She whispered as she leaned up to kiss him. "I'm a sucker for puppy eyes."

"I don't look like a puppy." He defended.

She laughed. "Yea, okay. Believe what you want."

"He was sold." The man said.

"Yes, I understand that." Lucas said. "But my girlfriend. She really loved that puppy."

"We're getting another shipment on two weeks." He stated annoyed.

"Look," He saw the name tag. "Eddie. You don't understand. I..." He stopped himself then gulped. "I love this girl, and I just want to make her happy."

"There is nothing I can do."

"But she already had a name picked out. I'll pay you twice as much for it."

"It doesn't work that way."

"Three times as much."

"Someone already payed for it."

"Give them a refund."

"No. Get out of my store." He told Lucas.

Lucas groaned.

"Hey." Lucas said as he entered the doctors office. He kissed Brooke's forehead. "Sorry I'm late."

"It's okay." She told him. "Where were you? You smell horrible."

"I was trying to get you that puppy."

"Did you?!" Brooke asked hopeful.

He shook his. "I'm sorry babe. I tried. I tried so hard. I even flirted a little."

Brooke laughed. "How'd that go?"

"Bad. It made things worse actually."

Brooke grabbed his hand, and joined it with her own. "You are amazing."

"But I didn't even get the puppy."

"I don't care." She promised. "You tried, and you even flirted. You probably looked like an idiot-"

"Thanks baby."

"And that's why I..." She stopped herself. She wouldn't say it first. "that's why I'm with you."

Just then the doctor entered. "Hello Miss Davis, Mr. Scott. I'm Dr. Harold."

"Yea, we spoke over the phone, actually." Lucas told her.

"Oh, yea." She nodded. "I remember. So Miss Davis. I was told you were leaving town soon."

"Well, I actually won't be leaving anytime soon."

Lucas smiled at her words.

"Good. Traveling over plane was never good for a baby. Now you're almost two months along." She smiled. "Is this your first child?"

"No, second." Brooke stated.

"Oh, good. So I don't have to explain all the hazards. No smoking, drinking, yada, yada, yada."

"Nope."

"Alright well let's do an ultrasound."

Lucas was excited. "Do we get to know the sex yet?"

"It's a little to early for that. Next appointment you can find out though."

"I kinda don't wanna know." Brooke told him.

"What? How'd you not wanna know?"

"Well It can be a suprise."

"Did you know if Broody was a boy?"

"Oh, yea. But he was my first. This one I want to be surprised."

"Can I still know even if she doesn't?" Lucas asked.

"Yes." Dr. Harold said. "But uh, if you don't mind me asking are you Broody's father?"

"Yea. Why?"

She shrugged. "I heard you ask Brooke if she knew Broody was a boy."

"Oh, yea. That's-that's a long story." Brooke laughed nervously.

Dr. Harold nodded. "Right," She got the machine ready, and covered the camera with jell. "This'll feel a little cool."

She nodded.

The doctor ran the camera over Brooke's stomach, seconds later a fast heart beat was heard.

Lucas' eyes widened, and he smiled wide.

Brooke smiled when she looked at him. "That's our baby Luke."

He kissed her softly. "That's our baby." He repeated.

Brooke woke up the net morning and looked around. Lucas was nowhere in sight. "Luke?" she called. "Lucas!?" She tried again. She decided to give his phone a shot.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Luke. Where are you?"

"What'd you say?"

"Where are you?"

"Ha ha. Got you. Leave a voice mail."

Brooke slammed her phone shut. "Damn it."

Then Lucas came in with a box.

"Where were you?"

He walked past her, and put the box on the table. "Open."

Brooke looked at it. "What is it?"

"Open it and find out."

Brooke lifted the lid off the box before turning her eyes back to Lucas. "How did you?-"

"I have my ways." He smirked.

Brooke hugged him tightly before kissing him. "Thank you."

Then the puppy yelped.

Brooke smiled, hugged Lucas tighter.
