Present

I wasn't planning to update this soon but with all the alerts and reviews I decided to update a little early. I hope you like it!!

"So how did you know Lucas was the father anyway" She asked hoping to bring up the conversation they had where Chris said he was only gonna crash at her place for "a while".

"I'm Chris Keller I know these things" He said as she gave him a skeptical look. "Ok you caught me I didn't I was just screwing with you, but then I noticed this could turn in my favor so I just kept going with"

"Nice, Chris, Real Nice. By the way when are you planning on… I don't know looking for your own place"

"Why would you want me to move anyway? Baby Chris would miss me to much… Wouldn't you Baby Chris." He said while picking up the one-year old.

"Ok stop calling him Baby Chris that's not his name!" She said yelling. She ended up naming him Nathan Brett Scott-Davis. She knew how Haley and Nate named their kid James Lucas Scott; she thought she might as well return the favor.

"Well I thought we agreed we would name him Chris" He said giving her a Duh! Look. "Whew! This kid needs to be changed Whew! By the way when are you potty-training him? I think its time"

"Well considering he's a year old, not for a while. Anyway Chris you don't clean up around here, so you could at least change him every once and a while. Since some of us are working, you know just earning the money we seem to need" She said looking up from her sketches.

"Well what about Rachel she doesn't change Brett at all!" Chris yelled as Rachel walked in.

The minute Rachel heard this she slapped him upside the head. "Yeah well at least I help pay the bills with some of the modeling jobs I have"

"Whatever I'm outta here I know when I'm not wanted" He said while walking out. "Dinner at six, right?" He said as he shut the door behind him.

"Hey Hales! Come on we gotta go! The plane leaves in 45 minutes!" Lucas yelled as he tried to push Haley out of the door.

"Hey! Calm down it's not my fault we're late. I wasn't the one on the phone for half an hour fighting with Lindsay! Why are you fighting with Lindsay anyway?" She said as she strapped Jamie in the car.

"Its just she irritates me so much. The only reason I'm going to New York is because she hates the ending of my book." He said as he was rubbing his eyes, trying not to get frustrated.

"Well then change it. What's so hard about that?"

"That's just it! I like the way the book ended, it was realistic." He yelled. He knew he was being stubborn, be he ended it the only way he thought the book could end. The boy didn't see the comet again. What's the chance a person saw the same exact comet twice in their life.

"Luke you gotta understand her, the ending is depressing. I mean for a romantic novel it has a pretty sad ending" She said as they reached their destination.

"Look Haley the book ended the way it was supposed to end; I mean what do you want me to say. Lindsey broke off the engagement because apparently my 'comet' hadn't come back. I mean what sense does that make?!"

"Luke she's just threatened by the book. You wrote one whole book about Peyton. Now this book, with the ending of the comet not coming back into the boy's life. I mean come on what kind of ending is that? By the way are you planning on visiting Brooke while you're in New York?" She asked, hoping he wouldn't dodge the question like so many other times.

"After what happened last time, I doubt it." He said starting to get irritated

"Luke you're not seriously mad at her. Are you?" She asked looking him straight in the eyes.

"Oh what I can't be mad at her?"

"Uh, no"

"Why"

"Because Luke you go see her and end up in bed with her, after you guys have been broken up for what…4 years."

"Look Hales, she left! I mean she could've at least stayed so we could have talked about it. Is that too much too ask?! Besides it's just easier if we act like it never happened." He asked as he shut the door behind him and began walking into the airport.

"Why do you put up with his shit anyway Brooke? I think its time to kick Chris out."

"Look I know Chris is annoying but it's just easier this way. I don't need him to go tell Lucas about Brett and exaggerate some details" She said as she got up to change Brett. Chris helped take some of the heat off her anyway. Whenever she had interviews and they asked about Brett and Chris she would just put on a stupid face and say nothing was going on between her and Chris and quickly change the subject to the newest accessory of C/B.

"Oh yeah what are you gonna do about him anyway?"

"What are you talking about? I already told you I'm not gonna kick him out just yet."

"No I'm talking about what Haley said" but immediately stopped talking as soon as she saw Brooke's confused face. "You mean Chris didn't…ugh I'm gonna kill him I told him to tell you… Listen" She pressed the play button on the machine and Haley's voice rung through the house.

"Brooke, hey I know we haven't talked in a couple months but Luke is going to New York for a couple weeks, and I don't know if he's told you anything, but I think you should see him considering what happened last time you guys saw each other, well call me when you have a chance. Bye"

As soon as Haley mentioned Lucas coming into town Brooke's face went pale. And Rachel took this as a sign to do some damage control. "Hey Brooke" She said as she was snapping her fingers in her face. "Brooke it's gonna be alright you said you've wanted to tell him the news so, this isn't so bad. If anything it's a sign that you should tell him"

Brooke wasn't sure how to respond she wasn't sure whether to be happy Luke was coming to New York or cry because she knew Luke was gonna hate her when he found out. But she went with cry. "Oh my God, Luke is gonna kill me when he finds out" As she started to sob. She had been expecting this for a while but know that the time was here she was hoping to wait a little longer. "Well it doesn't matter anyway I can't tell him while he's in New York. I mean he's away from Nate and Haley and he's gonna need his best friend and brother when I tell him he has a son so… I'll just avoid him for the next couple of weeks and then go break the news when he goes back to Tree Hill" She was trying to avoid Rachel's cold glare. "Look either way I can't tell him here Peyton will probably think that I'm trying to steal him from her anyway"

"Well Brookie whatever you decide, you need to tell him… and soon" Rachel said as she left the room.

"Well buddy, its looks like we're gonna tell your dad" she said as she stared into his big blue eyes. "I love you, you know that right?" He responded by making some gurgling noises and sticking his fingers into his mouth.

"Hey Hales" Nathan gave her a quick peck on the lips

"Hey babe, God Lucas is such an ass. I mean he's going to New York and he's not even gonna talk to Brooke" Hales said as she buried her face in her hands.

"Look babe he's gonna have to go see her on his own time. He's just upset about what happened last time. He thinks she's trying to avoid him because every time he calls her he gets voicemail, or is busy."

"But I confronted Brooke about that she is busy, it's hard running a multi-million dollar company. And either way I told Brooke, Luke is gonna be in New York"

"How did Luke take this when you told him?"

"He didn't. I didn't exactly tell him" Haley said as she tried to avoid his glare. "What?! It just didn't seem like the right time."

"Well he's in for a surprise when he gets to New York. Does she even know that Lucas and Peyton aren't together anymore?"

"I doubt it. Every time I try to bring up it up she either changes the subject or instantly becomes busy."

"Sawyer is there any coffee left from this morning" John said as he looked from his desk.

"I'm going home John" Peyton said with some sternness in her voice.

"Can you get me some coffee on your way out" John began looking at the papers on his desk again.

"No John I don't work here anymore" She said as she looked him straight in the eye.

"Excuse me" John began looking at her as if she was stupid.

"I quit John. I can't work here anymore"

John yelled out to her as she was walking out. "You're making a mistake!"

"No I'm fixing one" She quietly said to herself.

A/N

Alright so thanks for the all the reviews I was surprised at how many I got, but I have a question after Lucas finds out about Brett do you want Chris to leave the story or stay if you choose stay I'll try to find some way to incorporate him in the story.

Thanks again. Please Review.

Btw this is my 1st story so any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks
