The Lost and the Found

x-Brooke-x

It was the morning after the graduation party and me and Lucas had been up all night, talking. We sat at the empty house for hours untill there was nobody left but us. We had been together for two years now, and high school was finally over. Sure, we were scared but excitted for the plans we had ahead of us. Lucas was promised a career in basketball, and an aspiring author. Haley had the option to go to any college in America. Nathan was sure as hell going to make it to the NBA. Peyton was convinced she would be able to change the lives of many with her love for music, and it was true, she would. And me, well i had an internship with Vogue in LA, and my designs were really starting to turn heads in the fashion world.

Our paths were clear, our dreams were in sight and we were all happy.

It was later that day that Rachel convinced me to check "just to be sure"....

"Look Brooke, something must be up with you if you can't bring yourself to munch down your favourite pizza......"

Brooke rolled her eyes, but her hands still remained on the bottom of her stomach where the pain was, " Rachel, it's just cramp it will pass..."

"Well i can't be so sure, but if you are, what are you afraid of? Take the test."

~x~

"Morning Mama!" smiled Broody as his little body jumped out of bed as soon as his Mum came into his smiled at her son, he did have her cheery personality. "Well there's my bestest boy in the whole wide world, how are you today?" she asked walking over and opening the blinds and window to let light into the baby blue room.

His little feet were right behind her, "You havn't forgotton what day it is.. Have you Mama?"

Broody couldn't see Brooke's face and she turned around and raised her eyebrows at her son, bending down so she was his height. "How baby, what day is it.... Tuesday?" She couldn't resist teasing him for just a little arms threw up in the air, scared his Mum had truly forgotton their plans, "No Mama, it's Saturday! Don't you remember what we were going to do on Saturday?!"

She had to bite her lip a little to stop herself laughing at his cuteness, she patted down the top of his pyjammas trying to act casual.... "Um, were we going to tidy the house together?"

His little head hung down, " It doesn't matter...."

Brooke laughed and when Broodys head raised confussed by Brookes actions Brooke tickled him, "Baby, Mama was just joking, obvcourse i remember... We're going to Aunt Rachels!"

The little boys smile went from ear to ear as he laughed at his Mums actions. And then he stopped and squinted his eyes at his Mum. Brooke frozze for a momment when she saw his father all over his face, "That wasn't funny Mama.." he said trying to act serious before scrunching up his eyes and sticking out his little tounge.

Brooke gasped and played along by holding her hand on her heart, "Well if i'm not funny then i guess you won't be wanting any of my breakfast...." Brooke said getting up and slowly walking towards the door..

"Wait."

She turned around, and he raised his eyebrows, "Whats for breakfast?"

Brooke leaned against the door frame, knowing fine well that it was his favourite breakfast.. "Ohh i don't know.. i think it's... pancakes?"

His little eyes widened and she smiled at her beautiful boy, "Last one down the stairs is a rotten egg..." she whispered. And with that Broody smiled at his Mum, the dimples they shared on show, "I love you Mama!" he said before his little feet went running out the room.

God she loved him she so much more she thought and she quickly ran after her baby.

~x~

"Well well, look who it is..." said the redhead as soon as they walked in.

"Aunt Rachel!" he smiled before running to the only Aunt he knew for a hug. Brooke and Rachel smiled at each other, she truly loved them both and the bond they shared.

Rachel ran away with Brooke when Brooke found out she was pregnant. They moved to California, well actually they drove to California. They lived in a hotel, untill they got a house, thanks to Victoria. Brooke decided that if she was keeping this child she would have to tell Victoria. And despite the hours, in fact weeks of rows.. Victoria decided to help, by buying Brooke a house. Brooke likes to think this is out of love, but it did have something to do with Brookes designs that allowed her mother to help create 'Clothes over bros'; Brookes fashion company that made her filthy rich.

Still Victoria helped, but without Rachel, Brooke doesn't know what she would of done.

Rachel squezzed Broody before pulling him away and looking at him, "Hey handsome, why don't you go outside and play with the basketball net that i may have bought just for you, eh?"

He smiled at his aunt Rachel before looking at his Mum, "What do you say Broody?"

"Thanks Aunty Rachel you're the bestest!" before running down the hall and out the back door.

Rachel smiled and stood up, she knew how Brooke had been feeling recently about Tree Hill and after there 2 hour phone call last night she knew Brookes plans.

"You still sure you want to go ahead with this? I'll be there for you Brooke no matter what you decide to do..."

"I need to Rachel, who am i kidding? Look at him .." Brooke pointed at the patio door where little Broody could be seen playing happily with his basketball. God he was his fathers son. "... He deserves the best life. I know he has you and my Mum, but he needs his full family..."

Rachel nodded and hugged Brooke. "Brooke davis you are the bravest and most amazing Mum in the whole world, you know that don't you?" Brooke sighed, "Im not going to lie Rachel. Im shitting myself, i don't know how they are going to react. Besides you, they were my best friends, he is the love of my life... i mean was the love of my life. But, im doing this for him."

Rachel couldn't help but pull Brooke in for another hug, "Lets go plan your trip then eh?"

Brooke sighed a shakey breath and smiled, in an attempt to get rid of her watery eyes that had almost filled up and burst.

"Yeah, lets get to work."
