Hello Life

Chapter 1

Brooke stared down at the test in her hands. This was the moment of truth, pregnant, or not pregnant. She wanted a kid so bad. As much as Brooke Davis hated kids, Brooke Scott loved them. Lucas changed everything. She silently prayed, as she turned the test over. Two lines. She was having a baby. She was having a baby! She grinned as she thought back on her little baby's conception.

//flashback//

"Cutey- Broody!" Brooke called, walking across the gymnasium to her husband. She grinned as her husband's ears turned red, and his co-coach, Craig Mackenzie, laughed.

"Nice nick-name Brooke," Craig said, as Brooke walked up, throwing her arms around Lucas.

"Yeah, nice nick-name, Pretty Penny," Lucas teased.

"Hey! Penelope is a beautiful name, and don't make me bring out your full name, Eugene." Brooke taunted.

"Penelope is beautiful name, I'm sorry." Lucas said, taking his wife's hands.

"I forgive you," Brooke said, pulling herself up to him; pressing her lips to his.

Um, Coach Scott, sorry to interrupt, but I think Pete broke his leg," a student said, a few minutes later. The pair pulled back, suddenly remembering that they were in a gym full of teenagers.

What?" Lucas asked, worried.

Nothing," the teenager said, "But you've been going at it a while, and Coach Mackenzie had bet going for whoever got your attention first." Brooke started to laugh, leaning into Lucas.

Lucas smirked, "For that," he said, looking at Craig, "I'm out for the day, got some hot sex to have." The couple ended up doing that very thing.

"Hey Brooke! You home?" Brooke was jolted from her daydreams to the sound of Peyton calling for her.

"Umm… Yeah." Brooke replied, putting the test on the counter, and walking out to her living room to see Peyton.

"B. Scott! What's up?" Peyton greeted.

"Well I'm pregnant, P. Jagelski! How about you?" Brooke grinned, flashing her world famous dimples.

"Oh my gosh! Brooke! Congratulations!" Peyton squealed.

"Thanks! Hey Jenny, Ava." Brooke greeted, just noticing the two little girls attached to her best friend's legs.

" Hey Aunt Brooke! Mom got me a new CD!" Jenny said excitedly, running over to give Brooke a hug, with Ava at her heels. Jenny knew Peyton wasn't her real mom, but Peyton had raised her, and was her little sister's mom, so she called her Mom anyways. Brooke leaned down and picked up little Ava, only three years old, and petite for her age, giving her a squeeze, and then hugging Jenny.

"She did? That's awesome! How was school Jen?" Brooke asked.

"Good!" Jenny squealed, "I learned long division!"

"And now you're going to take a nap." Peyton said, leading her two blonde daughters to the guest bedroom.

"A nap?" Jenny asked, "I'm ten." Peyton came back a few seconds later, ready to talk.

"So a baby, huh? Does Luke know?" Peyton inquired.

"No, not yet, I had just taken the test when you and girls came." Brooke answered.

"So do want a girl or a boy?" Peyton asked excitedly, leading the best friends into an hour's worth of baby talk.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hey babe!" Lucas greeted, coming home from a long day at the school. Lucas was the coach for Tree Hill High's varsity team, though he also wrote novels.

"Hey Broody-pants! Go take your shower, I made ya dinner!" Brooke said bubbly as ever.

"What, I smell?" Luke asked, just to get Brooke riled up.

"No, whatever, don't shower, just do whatever you wanna do, and be in the kitchen in fifteen minutes." Brooke instructed. Lucas went to change, and sure enough, fifteen minutes later, he arrived in the kitchen. He looked around, taking it all in. There stood Brooke, looking beautiful as always, her long brunette hair blown out, wearing his favorite dress on her and just a touch of make up. On the table, there were two glasses of wine, two steaks, and a big plate of French fries, not the most sophisticated choice, but Lucas' favorite none the less.

"You look beautiful baby." Lucas said.

"Back atcha gorgeous!" Brooke replied, "Whatcha think about dinner?"

"It looks amazing." Luke said truthfully.

"Well let's eat then!" Brooke squealed. Lucas said the blessing, and started eating. Brooke took a deep breath, and started.

"Hey Luke?" she asked, "I've got something to tell you."

"And what's that?" Lucas asked, looking up from his plate to his grinning wife.

We're pregnant." she smiled.

Oh my gosh, Brooke! That's amazing!" Lucas said, getting up from the table.

"I love you," he said, pulling his wife into a kiss that would be legendary for years to come.

------------------------------------------------------------------

"Brooke Scott?" the nurse called. Brooke grabbed Lucas's hand as they walked up.

"Right this way." The nurse instructed. Brooke stood on the scale, and took her temperature, and then they were left alone until the OB/GYN came in.

"I'm excited, Luke." Brooke whispered.

"Me too."

A few minutes later the door opened, and a woman with long auburn hair came in, wearing a lab coat.

"Rachel?" Brooke asked.

"Brooke Davis!" Rachel exclaimed, "It's so good to see you!"

"Are you our OB/GYN?" Lucas asked.

"Yeah, I am. And don't worry, I've been through medical school and have gone through three births, one of them, twins." Rachel said, noticing Lucas' shock.

"Oh my gosh! You have kids! Do you have pictures?" Brooke asked excitedly. After Brooke had seen the pictures (Ella, six; Tyler, three; and Cayden and Adelaide, eight months) the actual appointment began.

"Okay guys," Rachel started, "Today we're gonna do a blood test, to make sure you're pregnant. Then if you are, you'll be back next week to do the sonogram."

"Is that all?" Brooke asked.

"That's all. I'll take you to my nurse Nancy who will do the blood test, I'm basically just here because I recognized the names."

"Thanks, Rachel, It's good to see you again, you have a beautiful family." Rachel smiled, and hugged her friends, then walked down the hall to her next appointment.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Rachel's your OB-GYN?" Haley asked incredulously, cutting up her four-year-old Bryan's pizza.

"Yeah, she is, she has four kids too." Brooke said in between bites.

"Wow. I bet she would understand how I feel." Haley said bitterly.

"Hales, you know Nate loves you and your kids, he's just not home enough to know the enormous amount of effort it takes to raise five kids." Brooke analyzed.

"But I told him how hard it is, and he isn't making an effort!" Haley whined.

"I know Hales, just know he loves them." Brooke soothed.

"Yeah I guess so," Haley said, "How are things with you and Luke?"

"Amazing as always," Brooke answered. "We have our problems like all couples, but nothing big."

"Beth, no!" Haley ordered, grabbing the knife out of her ten-month-old's hand, while also struggling to get Bryan and her two year old daughter Jaime to eat.

"Still excited about having a kid?" Haley smiled at Brooke.

"More than ever." Brooke replied.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ring! Ring! Ring! Brooke sat up straight in bed, waking to the phone. She didn't think she'd fallen asleep. Looking at the clock, she realized it had been two hours since she'd lain down to watch TV. She glanced at the Caller-ID, and noting that it was Rachel, picked it up.

"Congrats, Brooke Scott! You're a mommy!" Rachel called through the phone.

"Oh my gosh, thank you so much!" Brooke exclaimed. "Oh, and, Rach, before you go, I was wondering if you wanted to come over Friday night around six with your family. Everybody will be here, Nate and Haley with their kids, and Jake and Peyton with their kids. It's kinda a Friday night ritual." Brooke invited.

"I'd love to come, Brooke. Thank you so much. Where are you living now?" Rachel asked, smiling. Brooke gave directions, and then went to the kitchen to order her and Luke some dinner.

AN- I know that this chapter wasn't good at all, it mostly just sets up the story. Please review! I've written the entire story already, but if nobody reviews, I probably won't post the rest of it, so please tell me if you're reading it. Thanks so much!
