The day of the Baby shower Haley was waiting for Brooke to get there; she put on her earrings and stepped into the living room. Noticing that her husband had not moved in hours and was still watching the basketball game upset her. He was no where near ready.
"Nathan Scott!" She sternly yelled.
"What?" He said not looking up.
"Why aren't you ready?"
"Babe, why do I need to get ready, it's just a party with our friends."
"Everyone will be dressed up and this party is for us. Get up and put on something nice." She said, he stood up and not taking his eyes off the TV kissed her on the cheek and went to the bedroom. She heard the TV in there turn on. He didn't bother arguing because he knew that she was hormonal and would never back down.
"Hey!" Brooke said coming in without knocking. She spun around for Haley to see.
"I love that dress!" Brooke had designed both hers and Haley's dresses for the party. It was the new Bros over Hoes maternity line, and it was fabulous. "But not as much as I love mine." Both sundresses made it seem as if neither girls were pregnant, but the glow that they were carrying made it obvious.
"Yea well that's why you got that one." She helped herself to a box of cookies that were lying out, and sat on the couch with Haley. "So what are we waiting for?"
"My lazy ass husband. I don't know what we're gonna do when he realizes that the baby has to come before the basketball games on TV."
"He's never going to realize that." Brooke said rubbing her tummy.
"Are you ever gonna tell Ethan that he is the father?" Haley asked. Ethan was the college guy that Brooke slept with, but in fact he was not in college at all.
"I talked to him yesterday and he is not in college anymore."
"Really?" Haley said rather excitedly, "This is great, now you can tell him and he will help you raise Tyler."
"No, I can't. His sister lost her baby and his family has taken it really hard. He dropped out so he could spend more time with them."
"So what is he doing?"
"He is working as an EMT."
"Wow, a college drop-out?"
"Yea, that's what I thought too." Just then Nathan came in dressed in a suit. He looked grown up and handsome. Haley stood and kissed him deeply, causing Brooke to make noises.
They rode to the party together, and stepping into a decorated Café was exciting. The guest list included most of the school, along with Deb and Dan Scott, Karen and Keith Scott, Brooke's parents who flew all the way from California, and Haley's parents. Karen was about 5 months along in her own pregnancy, and was happy to throw this party for the girls. Presents were everywhere, girl stuff for Haley, and boy stuff for Brooke. The shower went by quickly with the women playing games and eating, while the guys talked sports and ate. The friends and families loaded the two girls up with everything you could imagine. It was a wonderful shower, but then people began to clear out and the parents started to pitch in with the cleaning.
"Everyone is going to Peyton's to hang out, are you too tired or would you like to go?" Nathan asked Haley once the party was over.
"Sure lets go for a little while." She, Brooke, and Nathan jumped in the car and headed towards Peyton's place. Everyone was there when they got to her house. The living room was full with Lucas, Peyton, Jake, Rachel, Mouth, Tim, Bevin, and Skillz. All of the groups closest friends.
"Brooke, when are you gonna tell us who your baby's daddy is?" Rachel asked. She had been trying to find out since the day Brooke told everyone she was pregnant. "I'm not. Tyler isn't going to know his father."
"Yes he will," Lucas said. Everyone looked at him puzzled, "I'm going to be like a father to him. Just like Keith was like a father to me." Brooke grinned and squeezed Lucas' hand.
"He's going to love that." She said.
"Well I hope there is enough of that great uncle inside to share with Laura." Haley said smiling.
"Plenty." He replied. "I mean Tyler has to have two wonderful uncles because someone has to teach him how to play basketball." Both he and Nathan gave each other a high five and laughed.
"Well Laura has to have me so she knows how to dress. No ponchos for that girl." Brooke said causing everyone to break out laughing.
"Hey!" Haley said, "Fine I'll just make sure that they are the smartest children, and then try to get them to start a band."
"Well I better be around so that they will at least know what good music is." Peyton announced.
"Looks like your children will have a lot of aunts and uncles to keep them busy." Jake said smiling.
"Yea, they will be loved." Brooke said.
"They have to get their Tim Time!" Tim said.
"Oh no!" Both girls said unanimously, and everyone else laughed.
A little later all the guys left to play basketball and it was just Haley, Peyton, and Brooke hanging out.
"Do you guys think that it is wrong for me to keep this secret?" Brooke asked when the girls got silent. Peyton was the first to answer.
"I'm not in your position, but I couldn't imagine not telling him. I mean both of them have the right to know each other."
"Brooke, its like this, he can find out know or when Tyler is 18." Haley announced.
"You know I'm getting a little tired, can you take me home?" Brooke asked Haley.
"Sure." They said goodbye to Peyton and left the house, once in the car Brooke turned to Haley.
"I lied Haley. I want to tell Ethan that I'm pregnant. Will you come with me?"
"Of course." Brooke dialed his number and found out that he was at the hospital.
