Starts off at the beginning of Season 5, follows the same basic storyline but goes off in a whole different direction. Lucas did ask Peyton to marry him, and she said no, he goes to New York but does not tell Brooke about the proposal. This chapter just sets the story.

"Ah! My head... Crap, why is it so bright? Ah! The one day I have a ton of meetings has to be the day I have a migraine." Brooke thought as she turned. She ended up hitting something and carefully opened her eyes.
"Crap what the hell is Lucas doing here?" Memories from the night before begin to flood her thoughts. She vaguely remembers Lucas telling her that his book is getting published. Ok then what… Oh right she decided that they needed to celebrate, one thing leads to another, and here she is lying in bed with Lucas. Lying naked in bed with Lucas. Yep, just another crappy day in the life of Brooke Davis.
Brooke ended up sneaking out of the hotel room, because after what Peyton and Lucas did to her she promised herself she would never help someone cheat. She would never become Peyton. Don't get me wrong Peyton is an amazing person, but with crappy choices. She would never make Peyton go through the pain and heartbreak she went through.

Of course Brooke ended up being pregnant; I mean Brooke Davis' life just needs to have drama. Brooke eventually accepted it; she even called Lucas to tell him about her pregnancy. But every time she called Lucas she got voicemail and when she would get a hold of him he was busy and vies-versa. She took it as the Gods telling her that she needed to let Lucas live his life, of course she felt bad, but with Lucas dating Peyton she would feel horrible if their relationship ended because of her and her son. Yes she's having a boy. Although with running a business she hadn't even had time to come up with a name. But hopefully Rachel would help in that department.
"Alright Rachel, yes Rachel I won't get any coffee," ever since Rachel found out Brooke was pregnant she had been watching her like a hawk.
"Crap, is that meeting today…well can… Hey! Watch where you're going asshole! Rachel I'll call you back. " Brooke yelled as some ass bumped into her and made her spill her coffee.
"Well you did just tell Rachel you wouldn't drink any coffee, any anyway for a woman who looks like she's about to pop, coffee isn't the best thing"
"Ok look ass! All you have to do is say sorry and walk away" Brooke said as she looked up. The minute she saw the person she stayed there with her mouth open.
"Chris Keller does not say sorry, he does however say that he will try to be more careful since you look ready to pop." Chris said with the usual smug face. "So what's new?"
"Well I don't know nothing much! I'm just dandy! I mean some idiot just made me spill my coffee and I'm pregnant but that's pretty much it!" She said giving him the coldest glare a person could give.
"Well congratulations…Wait is it mine?!"
"No idiot we haven't had sex in 4 years so of course it's not yours" She said as she started to walk away.
"Hmm well then it must be Lucas' how is the old guy anyway" He said following right behind her like a lost little dog.
"Me and Lucas aren't together" She said trying to end the conversation right there.
"Wait it wasn't cause of me. Right?" He said with of hint of worry in his voice. But Brooke was probably imagining that.
"I thought Chris Keller doesn't say sorry. And no its not cause of you." She said chuckling.
"Chris Keller doesn't say sorry. But Chris Keller does have a bit of a conscious. So what is it gonna be? Its gonna be boy right? Lucas would want a boy." He said rambling, not really expecting an answer.
"It's not Lucas' kid" she said quietly. She didn't want to lie about it but she wanted Lucas to find out before anyone else, especially Chris Keller.
"Yeah it is, I can tell. Only Lucas Scott would get Brooke Davis pregnant. But it's ok since you're obviously hiding who's the father I won't say anything"
Brooke didn't know what to say, she wasn't sure if she should just admit that Lucas was the father, or just keep going with the lie, but hopefully Chris would keep his word and not say anything. "Thanks Chris, I guess"
"But at a price" He interrupted. "Its nothing big, I just need a place to crash while I'm New York" He said with a smile, hoping he could convince Brooke to let him stay with her.
