"Rush and Shine!" Brooke said as she entered her daughter's new floral pink and purple bedroom.

"Good morning momma." Juliet covered her eyes with her tiny hands as Brooke turned on the light in her room.

"C'mon Julie let's get dressed and have breakfast." Brooke tugged at her daughter's covers and laughed when her daughter clung to her. "Or we can just have breakfast in our pajamas." She carried her daughter into the kitchen and sat her down at the dining room table. "What would my princess like for breakfast?"

"Oatmeal!" Juliet began to do the dance Brooke taught the two later named the breakfast dance.

Brooke laughed. "One oatmeal coming up."

She fixed her daughter's breakfast and waited for it to heat up while making herself some coffee. Juliet sat patiently at the table waiting for her breakfast. Brooke was so proud of herself for raising such a smart and talented little girl.

"Breakfast is served!" She put the bowl of oatmeal in front of Juliet.

Juliet picked up the spoon, "Ouch!"

Brooke's head popped up when her daughter said ouch. She was extremely protective of the little girl. She wanted to protect her from everything that could possibly hurt her.

"Blow on it sweetie." Brooke sat down at the table with her coffee. "Here let's blow on it together."

Juliet and Brooke both blew on the hot bowl of oatmeal.

"All better?" She asked her daughter after several moments of blowing and fanning of the oatmeal.

Juliet ate the oatmeal and smiled, "Better!"

"So momma wants to take you out so we can go see all around Tree Hill!" Brooke took several sips of her coffee.

She was planning on introducing Haley to Juliet today but it made her nervous because she didn't know if she could do that without seeing Lucas. Haley had promised to try and keep Lucas out of Karen's Café today so she could meet Juliet.

At Karen's Café Haley was opening up.

"Jamie Scott let's eat so your father can take you to school!" She slipped the keys to the café into her brown leather shoulder bag as she walked into the kitchen.

"Yes ma'am." The little four year said as he slid into his usual booth.

His father Nathan entered the café soon after Haley and Jamie. "I hope eggs are on the menu!" Nathan tried to hint to his wife what he wanted for breakfast.

Haley laughed and came back to the front of the café wearing an apron."Eggs it is! You are not the most subtle man on the planet."

Nathan gave his shoulders a light shrug, "You love me anyways right?" He slid into the same booth as his son Jamie.

"Maybe!" Haley teased her husband before heading back into the kitchen to starting cooking her family breakfast.

Lucas walked into the little café previously owned by his mother.

"Hey family!" He pretended to look for Jamie. "Now where could my nephew Jamie have gone?" Lucas laughed as Jamie stood up in the booth.

"I'm right here Uncle Lucas!" Jamie waved his tiny hands above his head.

Lucas scratched the back of his head, "Oh there you are! You're just so tiny."

Jamie crossed his arms over his chest, "I am not tiny Uncle Lucas."

Lucas laughed, "Alright you aren't tiny. You just look tiny next to your gigantic father."

"Thanks a lot dad!" Jamie mumbled as he sat back down in the booth.

Both Nathan and Lucas laughed at the little boy. Haley came back to the front with Nathan and Jamie's eggs.

"Oh Luke! I didn't know you were coming in today?" She tried not to panic. She'd promised Brooke that she would keep Lucas out of the café all day.

Lucas shrugged her shoulders. "Just came to get a cup of coffee before heading to work."

Haley put the plate of eggs on the table her husband and her son were sitting. "Oh shoot I didn't make any coffee this morning." She put her hands on her hips. "Sorry Luke!"

Lucas frowned at his best friend, wondering what was up with her. "It's okay. I'll just wait." He sat down across from his brother and his nephew.

Haley sighed lightly, "Okay fine I'll get your coffee!" She rushed off to the kitchen to get the coffee started. She had to get Lucas out before Brooke got to the café with Juliet.

She tried to best to make the coffee fast but she couldn't make the machine speed up. "Luke you sure you want coffee? I thought you were having trouble sleeping?" Haley walked back to the front of the café frustrated.

Lucas eyed his best friend and laughed, "But its morning. I'm sure this cup of coffee won't keep me up all night and if it does I promise to swear off of coffee."

Haley turned to fetch Lucas' coffee, "But its morning." She mocked her friend underneath her voice. It wasn't like Haley to get easily frustrated but she didn't want to disappoint Brooke and ruin her plan to bring Juliet to the café. "One coffee. Two sugars and a whole lot of cream!" Haley gave Lucas his coffee in a to go cup.

Lucas looked at the cup, "Why do I feel like you're rushing me?" He asked Haley.

Haley looked up and saw Brooke approaching the café with Juliet.

"Because I am. Lucas can you help me out with something in the back?" She tried to pull him out of the booth but he didn't budge.

"What's wrong with you Hales?" Nathan asked his wife. "You're acting strange."

"No I'm not! How am I acting strange? I just need Lucas in the back!" Haley continued to pull him out of the booth. "C'mon Luke."

Lucas laughed and slid out of the booth. "I'm coming!" Just as Lucas stood up from the booth Brooke and Juliet entered the café.

"Oh shit." Haley said underneath her breath.

Lucas and Brooke met eyes then Lucas' eyes fell upon the child standing next to Brooke. Juliet was a perfect mixture of Brooke and Lucas physically.

"Brooke?" Lucas managed to get past the lump forming in his throat. This couldn't be. Brooke had a daughter who appeared to be five. In his head Lucas began counting back and his eyes widened. "Brooke!" Lucas repeated himself.
