Just an idea I had after a One Tree Hill re-watch. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1

Brooke's Point of View

I pulled up outside the familiar high school waiting to collect my twin boys when someone caught my eye. A teacher from the look of it she was young, with brown wavy hair and about my height. She was walking around the front of the school looking slightly lost but confident at the same time. She looked familiar even thought I had never seen her before. I was caught up in my daze and didn't realise the boys were at the car until the passenger door was yanked open.

"Its my turn!" Davis yelled at his brother.

"No, you got to ride in front on the way here its my turn!" Jude snapped.

"That was in dads car it doesn't count!" Davis retorted.

"Boys!" I scolded.

"It doesn't matter who sits in the front seat but if you are going to argue then you are both in the back. So get in, sit down, buckle up and shut up." I added.

They both glared at me but nevertheless they listened and got into the back together.

"What's eating you?" Davis asked.

"Nothing." I sighed as I tried to find the teacher again. However she was gone and I couldn't see her anywhere.

A car honked from behind and I pulled away from the school and brought my attention back to the twins.

"So how was your first day of high school?" I asked.

There was silence. I looked in the mirror to see the two of them studying their cell phones.

"Guys hello? Mom here trying to have a conversation?" I said.

"Huh?" One of them replied.

"How was your first day?" I said again.

"It was school mom how do you think?" Jude replied.

"Davis how was your day?" I asked.

"Basketball team try-outs are next week." He told me.

Davis loved basketball especially when Jamie was in town for visits. He loved telling everyone he had a cousin in the NBA. Jude on the other had was more like his father, was terrible at sports but not for a lack of trying. He was quiet and shy and I worried about him going to Tree Hill the home of the Ravens.


Pulling up at the café both of them jumped out of the car and raced off before I could talk to them further. As I walked into the café Hayley automatically passed me my regular coffee and we took up our regular seat for our daily chat.

"So how did the boys get out today?" She smiled.

"Wouldn't know they didn't say anything expect its school mom what do you think!" I laughed.

"Aren't you glad we had kids." Hayley smirked.

"What about Lydia how was her first day back?" I asked as I sipped my coffee.

Before Hayley could answer the bell went from behind signalling a new customer. Automatically I turned around to see who had walked in only to be surprised to see the teacher I was watching at the school. The more I looked at her the more familiar she seemed.

She looked like me almost, same hair, height, build but their was something about the way she smiled at the waitress that was different….familiar but different…..

"Lucas…." I whispered.

"Excuse me?" Hayley said brining me back to reality.

I turned around to see he looking at the teacher with confusion written all over her face.

"Nothing….." I trailed off.

"Brooke, are you feeling ok?" She pressed.

"Um no…actually I'm going to head home….See you later?" I said.

"Sure." Hayley replied but she didn't look convinced as I got up and left.


Lying in bed that night I fell into an uneasy sleep.

I was in hospital and a nurse was bringing a baby towards me. I was nervous and shaky, as she got closer.

"Ready to hold your little girl?" The nurse smiled.

My mouth was dry and I was unable to say no. Before I could the baby was in my arms and I could feel my eyes begin to fill up. Looking down at the baby I was shocked to see the face of the teacher looking up at me.

"Why did you give me away mom?" She asked.

I jumped awake covered in sweat and with my heart racing.

It was a dream I had had before but with one difference the baby now had an adult face, the same age, as my daughter would be.


I got up to get a glass of water and saw Jude standing at the front door talking to someone.

"Oh mom your awake." He said as I passed.

"Yeah why are you?" I questioned.

"Because it is like 10:30 and I'm not old?" Jude smirked.

I ignored him and went to see who he was talking too. My heart felt like it stopped as I saw the teacher smiling back at me.

"Mom this is…." Jude said before realising he didn't know.

"Chloe Montgomery." Chloe answered.

"My car broke down and my phone died and I was just wondering if you could lend me a phone?" She asked.

"Yeah sure come in." I agreed.

"Jude, bed." I instructed.

"And pass that message onto your brother who is hiding around the corner!" I said loud enough for Davis to hear.

Rolling his eyes Jude stormed off and a few seconds later I heard Davis question him about why there was a teacher at their door.


"Let me get my phone." I said leading Chloe to the kitchen.

I quickly grabbed my phone from my room before re-joining Chloe. She was looking at the family photos I had on the wall.

"Nice family." She commented.

"Yeah they are pretty great….Mostly when they are sleeping and not making noise." I joked.

"I'm Brooke by the way Brooke Davis." I said realising I didn't tell her.

"Yeah I know." Chloe replied.

My look of confusing with dread mixed in most have concerned her.

"I got a job at Tree Hill High, you are well known there. A success story they told me more than once. Seems like you and your friends are famous here." Chloe smiled.

I didn't know what to say but I could feel myself turning red.

"So what brings you here?" I asked changing the subject.

"To Tree Hill." I added.

"My birth parents are from here I guess I wanted to try and find them or something I don't know…." Chloe trailed off.

I could feel my heart begin to race again.

'Is this her?' I thought to myself.

'Is this the girl you gave away?' The little voice in my head was yelling.

"Do you know who they are? Names or anything?" I pressed.

"Not yet but the adoption agency seem to think they can find my birth mom see if she is willing to make contact." Chloe told me.

"Really?" I gasped.

Chloe gave me another confused look before asking for a lend of my cell. I passed it to her and left her alone to make the call. I felt like I was going to pass out and didn't want to freak her out more than I was sure I had.

Closing the bathroom door I was panicking. I didn't even know if she was my daughter but there was something telling me she was and there was one major problem is she was and that was Lucas. I had never told him I had his baby, I told him it was a false alarm and not to worry…..

Please let me know your thoughts, they mean a lot :-)
