OUR DESTINY

Chapter 1: The History

Brooke Davis and Lucas Scott had dated on and off their last years of high school. The first time they got together in their junior year, it was more about the physical and the passion they shared between the two of them. At least the passion that exist until he cheated on her with her best friend, Peyton Sawyer, which left Brooke broken because she had found herself falling for her the broody, blond, blue-haired lover. Brooke had forgiven both her best friend and her ex-boyfriend and they decided to become friends, but Brooke found herself falling for him again and Lucas was also head over heels in love with her. They didn't act on those feeling until Lucas confessed his love for her right before she left for the summer to go to California with her parents and she still left, but she couldn't stop thinking about the one boy who had captured her heart. When she returned for her senior year, Brooke decided to keep her heart safe from Lucas she would only have a friends with benefits relationship with him. Lucas agreed with the arrangement at first, but then decided that he want more with this girl, she was the one he want no one else would do for him. They played games with each other and it only led to heartbreak when Brooke got drunk and slept with another guy, Chris Keller. Lucas still loved her and her him, so they ended up getting back together after Brooke revealed 82 letters that she had written over the summer basically telling him how much she loved him and how much he hurt her. The days following they were more in love than ever, they spend most of their time getting to know each other, making out, and making love until the day a kid named Jimmy Edwards came into Tree Hill with a gun and their lives and relationship changed as they knew it. Peyton had shot and Lucas was more broken than ever because of his Uncle Keith's death, and left Brooke to help them both pick up the pieces. Not too long after, the gang spent a weekend together at Rachael Gattina's parents' cabin, Brooke archenemy at the time, to get away from all the pain. That weekend Brooke and Lucas reconnected in a way that they had never imagined loving each other deeper and more compassionate.



Brooke and Luke were lying on the floor in their room at Rachael's cabin still fully clothed in front of the fireplace. They were discussing the events that had gone on that day, Bevin and Skills getting lost in the woods, Rachael walking in on her brookeing herself because of Lucas' letter, and his grieve stricken mother that was falling apart before their eyes because of Keith's death.

"Brooke, I truly love you, I don't know what I would don't without you to help me through this." Lucas told Brooke sincerely.

"I love you, too, Luke and I glad I can be there for you through this." Brooke replied with a peck on Lucas lips.

"You know, you are so sexy when you're being semimetal and it turns me on." Lucas whispered in her ear, placing his hand on the exposed skin under her top rubbing it softly.

"I thought I was always sexy" Brooke said playfully with a smirk.

"You are, pretty girl" he said kissing her with all the passion he had inside of him. He had missed just being seventeen and in love since all the tragedy had taken place. That night they made love to each other without as though they didn't have a care in the world and afterward they laid in each other arms and fall asleep at peace for once in the last two weeks.

After that weekend, Brooke and Lucas were once again was back in the world of school, and reality. Lucas had left for a trip with his mom after revealing that he had a heart condition called HCM. During those weeks Brooke missed him like crazy but he had neglected to check in with her. When he returned Brooke was excited to see him, her boyfriend was back, but then out of nowhere Peyton tells her that she still has feelings for Lucas, totally confusing Brooke on how Lucas felt about herself. The following day was an emotional rollercoaster for Brooke and Lucas relationship. Brooke was hiding something and Lucas was also. They make it through Haley and Nathan, Lucas' best friend and Brother, vows renewal ceremony, but at the reception their relationship was left more torn than ever, when Lucas reveals a kiss that him and Peyton shared the day of the school shooting. Brooke and Lucas shared one more love dance and then tragedy strike their world once again when Haley, Nathan, Rachael, and Nathan's uncle Cooper are in a car crash that left no one dead but everyone broken.

Brooke breaks up with Lucas later that night still hiding a secret that will affect both their lives forever. They both continue to live their life's, but it's the hardest for Brooke who's carrying the evident of their love underneath her shirt. She's is a little over two months and their lovechild has affect her 

more than ever with morning sickness and causing her to have to make frequent trips to the bathroom, but she loves it more than her own life. Nobody knows she pregnant, although there were rumors going around school about the possibility, which were started by her roommate Rachael Gatina, her ex-archenemy, but later everyone focused on Haley when Brooke told everyone that she just a cover for her until Haley told Nathan, and since Haley was pregnant too, Brooke continued to keep hers a secret between her, Rachael, and Haley.

On the night of the championship basketball game all the cheerleaders rode together to the game and her and Peyton find a reconciliation but Brooke still wasn't able to share her secret and since she wasn't showing yet at three months, there was no need to share. That same night Brooke pushed the love of her life and the father of her unborn child into the arms of her ex-best friend, Peyton Sawyer. Brooke was glad to see the boy she loved and the girl she loved is happy with each other, but it didn't stop the hurt that she felted when they kissed that night and that's when she realized it was her and her baby against the world.

The following month was pure torture for her; she had to watch Peyton and Lucas constant PDA in school and even in public places. At four months pregnant she was starting to show slightly and her secret was in danger of being revealed, so when an opportunity came in the mail for her to be an intern for DKNY in New York, while also finishing high school, she jumped at the opportunity, so she went taking her secret with her. Rachael also decide to go with her since they had become inseparable in the past months and as Brooke's new best friend, she knew Brooke was going to need help with the baby while working and trying to finish school. They made arrangement to leave as soon as possible. Brooke said her goodbyes to everyone including Haley, Nathan, Peyton, Lucas, and Karen, promising to come back to visit when Haley's and Karen's babies were born. Lucas didn't understand why Brooke had to go and he knew he was going to miss her basically he had never stopped loving her and earlier that year when there were rumors going around about her being pregnant in his heart he had hoped it was true knowing that if it was he could've had an chance to be with her again, but he knew he had to let her go because he was with Peyton now and he didn't want to mess up his relationship with her the way he had always manage to do with Brooke.

Brooke and Rachael had been in New York for about four months. Brooke was getting close to her due date and her boss had given her some time off for maternity leave so she was at home most of the day mostly on bed rest. Brooke had only stayed in contact with Haley, but didn't forget about Lucas or Peyton she would offer tell Haley to tell them she said Hi. Brooke hated hiding Lucas' child from him 

but she thought it was for the best, but she did attempt to call him and tells him a month after she moved to New York when felt the baby kick for the first time.

Brooke was five and a half months pregnant now and had begun settled into the big city life. Every day after work she would come to her and Rachael's apartment and just relax and watch a movie with Rachael. On this particular day, Brooke had come home to an empty apartment, she had decide that she would just watch "The Notebook" and eat some mint chocolate chip ice cream that she had been craving all day. It was 7:15P when she finished setting up everything for her and Rachael's movie night she pop in the movie and started to eat the ice cream alone. About twenty minutes into the movie Brooke's cell begun to ring, she knew from the ringtone it was her red head roommate.

"Where are you, Slut?" Brooke whined.

"I met this guy and he's so fine, he wants me to go out for drinks with him, but I'll only go if my whiny, pregnant, best friend will be alright without me" Rachael said both serious and jokingly.

"I'll be alright, ho" Brooke said jokingly.

"You know you can come out with us and find a step daddy for your baby, and maybe rediscover sex."

"Rachael, I'm pregnant" Brooke said rolling her eyes.

"So, what you can get your groove back, what it's been five months, almost six since you and the blond, broody, ex-boyfriend/father of your lovechild had sex, so come out with us and have some fun." Rachael explained.

"I think I will pass, but thank you for thinking of us, bestest friend."

"Well, us sluts have to stick together, so I'll talk to you, later, and tell my little niece to not make her mommy throw up too much of the ice cream she's binging on."

"Whatever have fun. Bye" Brooke responded before hanging up.

"Well, I guess it's just you and me kid" Brooke said while rubbing her belly and that's when she felt her baby kick for the first time. "Oh my god, you just kick me, ahhh, now I know for sure that you're in there. I just want to tell you that you're the best thing that ever happen to me and that both of your parents love you even if one of them doesn't know you existence." Brooke spoke to her stomach and near 

the end of her speech she felt another kick and rubbed her belly. "Know what maybe we should tell him about you. Do you think we should give him a call, huh?" the baby responded with another kick,

Brooke opened her cell phone and press the phonebook of numbers and selected Lucas' name then pressed the call button and the phone begun to ring.

"Here goes nothing." Brooke said, mostly to herself. Someone had picked up the phone.

"Hello?" a male voice said.

"Hi" Brooke responded in a whisper.

"Who is this? Brooke?"

"Yeah, I just wanted to call and say hi"

"Hi, how are you?"

"I'm alright; I have something that I need to tell you"

"Okay, what is it?"

"I'm uhh…umm…"

"Luke, I need you" a female voice sounded in the background.

"Never mind, I can see your busy, just forget I called"

"No, Brooke, wait!" Lucas replied but she had already hung up the phone.

"I guess right now isn't the best time to tell daddy about you since he's busy and all. Maybe I am doing the right thing, so him and Peyton came be happy without me being in the way of their happily ever after." Brooke quietly sobbed as she rubbed her stomach until she fell asleep.

Brooke due date was approaching fast. She had a week left before she met her baby girl, she had found out the sex at her 6 month. After the call she had made to Lucas, Haley told her that he had tried to get back in contact with her, but when he asked Haley for her number, Brooke made her 

promise not to give it to him so Haley lied and said she didn't have it and that was the last time she heard about Lucas trying to get in touch with her.

Saturday, May 22, 2007, Brooke was sitting at home alone on the couch watching TV, when she felt a very strong contraction similar to the ones she had been having since late the night before. She took deep breaths like she learned in her Lamaze class. Brooke continued to watch TV and do other things around the house, but she was having trouble moving around so much do to the contractions were coming closer and more frequently. She was sitting on the couch watching 'Bring It On' on TBS when she felt her water break. She shouted for Rachael and they rushed to the hospital. About an hour later, the OBGYN was telling Brooke to push while Rachael was holding her hand. At 9:50PM, Brooke met her daughter, Destiny Katelyn Scott, 5 lbs 13oz, 21inches long. Brooke thought her baby was the most beautiful she had ever since. The baby girl had Lucas' magnetic blue eyes, Brooke's beautiful dimples, her hair was brown and slightly curly, she was a mixture of both her young parents, a creation of something beautiful.

"Brooke, she is beautiful" Rachael said as she cooed at her goddaughter, holding the baby in her arms.

"I know she is going to be a heartbreaker when she gets older, I feel so bad, because when I look at her I see Luke and I know he would be a wonderful father to our beautiful daughter, but I know it'll be alright one day and I will just let him be happy with Peyton instead of being tied down to me because I give birth to her child" Brooke said.

"Well, I personally think you made the right decision because he wasn't ready to take on the permanent role as a father, he couldn't decide who he want to be with from day to day, so how he doing to be a father and a support system to you when he just can't make up his mind about you and Peyton. Anyway, let change the subject, you making me depression, so what are you going to name this beautiful baby girl?" Rachael protested.

"I was thinking that I should name her DESTINY."

"Why, Destiny?"



"Because she is my Destiny and maybe one day when Lucas meets her, she can be our Destiny, so her name will be, Destiny Katelyn Scott" Brooke said as Rachael handed her the sweet, now sleeping baby. Brooke smiled down at her angel that was given to her at such a young age and she knew she loved her more than life itself.
