It's been 2 weeks since Brooke found out that she was pregnant. She was getting used to the idea more and more each day. She hadn't told anyone, except Lucas. But, Lucas had told Karen. She wasn't ready to tell anyone, not yet.

Brooke hadn't forgiven Lucas yet, but because he was the father of her child, she had to try to be nice. Try being the key word. She was going over to Lucas' house today to talk to Karen. She knew what it was like having a child at a young age, she had some much needed perspective.

Brooke put on those jeans, that she knew she might not fit into in a few months. She still hadn't decided if she was keeping the baby, but she wanted to keep an open mind. She put on a little lip gloss and eye shadow before she walked to her car.

Brooke quickly pulled into the driveway, turned off her car, and walked inside the house. Karen was sitting in the kitchen with a cup of tea and a batch of cookies on the table. Brooke silently sat down and took a cookie.

Brooke knew that Karen wasn't thrilled about the situation. But, she also knew that Karen would support whatever decision she made.

"We'll just wait until Lucas gets here," Karen said.

Within seconds, Lucas walked into the kitchen and sat down. He knew this was a very serious and important meeting.

"Brooke, have you decided what you wanted to do with the baby?" Karen asked, getting straight to the point.

"No. I really want to think about this decision, I don't want to choose something that I might regret later. I'm taking my time." Brooke answered.

"That's a good choice Brooke," Karen nodded approvingly.

"And Brooke, I'll be here for you. Always." Lucas added.

Brooke nodded. She wasn't sure if she wanted Lucas in her life, but she had to think about her child now, too.

"Brooke, if you decide to have this baby, it's going to change your life forever. For better, or for worse. You need to know the reality of this situation. Caring for another human being is not easy. It takes work and responsibility. If you have the baby, Lucas and I have already decided that both of you will finish school, and go to college. I can watch the baby while you're at your classes." Karen said.

Brooke nodded, but she soon found tears coming to her eyes.

"I'm just so scared." Brooke said, starting to cry.

Karen leaned over and hugged her. Brooke collapsed into the hug, liking the feeling of safety, even if it was only for a moment.

"I know, Brooke. I was scared as well. But, it will become less scary, I promise. I will always be here for you Brooke. If you ever need to talk, or anything, I'm here." Karen said.

Brooke closed her eyes to stop the tears. She let go of Karen and stood up, walking towards the door. But, before she was all the way out, she turned around.

"Thanks Karen." Brooke said.

"For what?" Karen asked.

"For caring."

Brooke walked the rest of the way out and closed the door behind her. She needed someone that she could talk to, who knew what it was like, first hand. She was glad she had that now.

Lucas rushed outside.

"Brooke, do you want me to drive you home?" Lucas asked.

"Lucas, I am capable of driving home." Brooke exclaimed.

"Are you sure?"

"Lucas, just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean that I can't do normal stuff. I am capable of doing this all on my own." Brooke said harshly.

She got into her car and drove back home, just wanting to go back asleep. Brooke was trying to forgive Lucas, but it wasn't as easy as it seemed.

Brooke got home and went straight to her room. She layed down on her bed and tried to go to sleep, but she couldn't. She soon found tears flooding down her face.

"Hormones." Brooke thought as she wiped away a tear.

She tried to push all of the thoughts away, but she couldn't.

"Why had Lucas and Peyton done that to me? Now, I don't have anyone that I can talk to, or vent all of my feelings too. I don't have P.Sewyer to talk about the important stuff, like to keep the baby or not, or the not so important stuff, like what color to paint my toenails.I'm so alone."

Brooke just cried until she felt that there were no tears left. Too bad for her, her body had an unlimited supply of tears. She decided that it was time to try and forgive Peyton. She needed her now more then ever. They might not be best friends right away, but at least they wouldn't be enemies.

The next day at school Brooke went looking for Peyton. She soon found her at her locker, putting in some of her books.

'Peyton," Brooke called as she walked up.

"You're talking to me now?" Peyton asked.

"I guess, I just need someone to talk to. There's so much crap going on." Brooke said.

"So we're friends again?"

"Well sort of. Just not enemies." Brooke replied.

Peyton smiled.

"So what's up Brooke?"

"Can you come over after school?" Brooke asked.

"Of course. I'll see you there."

And with that Peyton closed her locker and walked off to class.
