1st Crime: Talks

Flash back

She looked at him; his blue eyes were filled with tears, she put a soft smile on her face, he smiled back.

"How are you hanging?" She asked him, touched his arm.

"She's gone Brooke; I don't know what to do." He cried she took him with a storm when he fell in her arms.

"Hey its okay Nate, I'm here for you. And I always will be." Brooke said with her soft voice, all of sudden she could feel his hand grabbing her hair.

"It's okay I'm here." She said again, it was hard for her to breathe, and it got harder and harder.

And there it was THE moment when Nathan knew that Brooke was the only one he could trust, after Haley came back from the tour she had been there for him 24/7, and never left.

End of flash black.

5 YEARS LATER

"Mommy, are they here yet?" The little boy asked, he had been waiting and waiting. "Soon baby, soon." She said, the fair of seeing him again crossed her heart.

She walked to her son, gave him the biggest hug and said "I'm sorry Josh." The little boy looked confused with his big brown eyes "Foj what?" He asked the R letter wasn't easy for him. "Nothing okay, go play with your toys." She told him, kissed his forehead and saw him run away.

Her "husband" came walking to the kitchen, took the chair and sat next to her.

"How are you hanging?" He asked her, she laughed a little. "I'm fine Chris, I'm fine." She informed tiredly, "Now everything would be simple if I believed that." Chris smiled at her, Brooke forget that he knew everything about her. She was just about to answer him when the doorbell rang, they where here.

Josh ran to the door as fast as he could, open it put his biggest smile when he saw them. "Mommy, daddy they are here." He shouted, the guests were surprised when they saw the little boy.

Chris and Brooke came after him, she froze when she saw him he held his daughter in his arms. She bit her lips, delayed her tears and spoke up "Hi everyone, gosh it's been forever." She took Peyton's bag, Peyton looked at her weirdly.

"I didn't know you had a son Brooke…and with Chris." Haley said, Nathan put the girl down and looked at Brooke. "I'm sorry I should have told, but I didn't know how." Brooke twisted her out of it. Chris talked to Lucas who was as surprised as everyone.

"How old is he?" Lucas asked Chris, "He's turning five." He responded, tried to smile but couldn't.

Peyton walked to him "What's your name?" She asked him, "My name is Jos." He said, Peyton laughed. "Well Josh this is Julia." Haley said and introduced him to his to new friend, who originally was his sister.

In the world of kids there is no embarrassment, the two of them ran to Josh's room and already started to play with his toys.

"I will show you your rooms" Chris said, looked at Brooke who was in her own world, "Yes and I will make coffee." Brooke hardly said and Peyton insisted to help.

They walked to the kitchen, Peyton took a chair and sated down "Why didn't you tell Brooke, I thought we were friends?" She asked upset, "Peyton you don't know how many times I wanted to tell you, I just…I couldn't." Brooke explained while making the coffee. "It's very easy you see, you just tell your best friend that you have a kid." Peyton responded, "Okay Peyton I have a kid, he is five years old and his name is Josh, oh and his father is Chris Keller. You know that dude that everyone in Tree hill hates." Brooke said with a sarcastic voice.

Peyton was about to say something but Nathan interrupted them; he had a cold look on his face when he sat down next to Peyton. "Where are Haley and Lucas?" Peyton asked, "Lucas is talking to Chris, Haley is in the bathroom." He responded, looked at Brooke who was holding her breath. "Oh okay I will join them then." Peyton said on a hurt voice, of course she was hurt, her best friends kept her son as a secret from her friend.

And when Peyton walked away from the kitchen Nathan moved closer to Brooke, He could smell her hair she would shake. He touched her face, she turned warmer and warmer.

"Nathan don't, please." She somehow said and took away his hand, he didn't stop. Turned her towards him and kissed her, the Sunday storm broke down. She forgot how beautiful he tasted, the kiss seemed to last forever and it's that moment when Brooke realised that they had a past.

Flash back.

He opened the door, she smiled at him finally they would be together with no secrets. Tried to kiss him but he rejected. The look in his eyes scared her it wasn't a look of happiness.

"Brooke I have something to tell you." He said with a destroyed voice, "What's wrong baby, talk to me." She told him and sat next to him, "Haley's pregnant, Brooke she's pregnant." He said in tears, Brooke held hers. "I don't know what to say, what do you want me to say?" She asked him shocked, destroyed, beautifully broken. "Say that you want me to stay with you." He responded looked at her, "I can't Nate, I'm sorry but I can't. You are having a child and I'm not making you like Dan." She answered him, "You're right I'm not Dan, I will not let this kid down." He realised, stood up, looked in her eyes, "Then I guess this is goodbye." She tried to stay calm but her heart was broken, "I guess it is." He said, kissed her for the last time and walked out from the door.

And there she stood broken, broke down in tears cried like a child. Fell down on the floor, screamed at the door "Don't go Nathan I need you, I want you stay here with me, I love you." Put her hands on her stomach and slowly whispered "I'm pregnant too."

End of flash back.

Brooke slapped him; she couldn't go through it all over again.

"That hurt." Nathan pointed out, "Well you deserved it, and you have no right to kiss me." Brooke cleared out things for him, "You had no problems before with it." He teased, "Nathan we are both adults now with kids, and I'm in love with Chris." Brooke responded, "Right Chris, why do you foul yourself?" He asked her and just about when Brooke was about to tell him something mean, Josh came.

"Mommy I'm hungry." He said, Nathan looked at the boy. "We will eat soon, okay." Brooke told his son who smiled at Nathan.

"I'm still waiting for the coffee." Lucas shouted, and Brooke walked fast to the living room with it. "Sorry president but it took time." Brooke joked, and sat next to Chris.

"So are you guys married?" Haley asked, Brooke fake coughed, "No we are not, we don't think that we should get married to prove our love to each other." Chris saved her, Nathan laughed.

And still after all conversations after dinner before dinner, Nathan didn't believe that Chris and Brooke loved each other. It was bedtime; Peyton and Lucas were already in bed so was Haley and Julia. Josh had already fall a sleep, the only one left was Nathan, Chris and Brooke.

Chris saw how Nathan tried to psycho Brooke, he tried to read her, and Chris got tired of it he couldn't see Brooke broken. Nathan wanted to talk to her be with her again, he walked to her but stopped when he saw them kissing.

Chris turned Brooke against him, started to kiss her it was their first kiss. Nathan slowly walked by them to the bedroom were he found Haley and his daughter.

Chris stopped kissing her, "I saved your butt again." He smiled at her, but she was confused. They walked to their room, Chris decided to sleep on the couch, "Don't be stupid Chris, I don't bite." She laughed, he laid next to her. And as she closed her eyes tears came, she was feeling like 18 again but now she got someone next to her, "Just hold me Chris, no questions." She said to him with a broken voice, he listened to her and put his arms around her.
