Hey guys, thank you so much for reviewing, means a lot to me. And I'm sorry for not writing very often. I really don't have anything else to say, so thank you again and I hope that you'll like this chapter.
Haley stood in Karen's café looking around her, last night after her, Brooke and Karen had watched Nathans speech on television he had gotten there and said that he was sorry for the way he reacted. And they had left together, which according to Brooke wasn't all that weird. They were Naley, the perfect couple, the ones that were meant to be together, and even though Haley never said anything, that's exactly what she thought. If she didn't believe that they were perfect for one another then she would never had agreed on marrying him despite their young age. She knew that she should be happy seeing as things are finally going her way, but she can't bring herself to be happy when her best friend is so unhappy. A part of her thought that Brooke and Lucas were perfect for each other and that they needed to be together, but then she saw him with Peyton and it's like they had their own language. They communicated in a special way, when they were in a room full of people they would look at each other and you would get the feeling that they were talking to each other without even actually talking. But then she saw Peyton with Jake and they would have the same thing, and it was the same with Pete. The door opened and without looking up Haley told the person that had walked in that the café was closed.
"Even for an old employee?" she looked up and saw Jake standing there, a huge smile on his face and a small girl next to him.
Haley ran over to him and hugged him tightly, and then lowered herself so that she would be on the same level as Jenny, the little girl had changed so much sense she had last seen her. And so had Jake, he looked tired and worn out, as if he hadn't slept for years. Jenny on the other hand with her golden hair looked happy as she could be.
"Hello there Jenny" she said and reached her hand for the small girl to take, which she did and shook it carefully. "I'm Haley, I'm a friend of your dads"
Jenny didn't reply but looked at the cookie jar standing behind Haley with a cute smile on her face, with a nod from Haley she ran up to the bench, climbed up on one chair and then pulled the cookie jar closer to her before opening it up and taking a few. Then she turned around again and looked at Haley and Jake.
"Milk?" the two year old girl asked and Haley laughed quietly before walking towards her.
"Sorry" she said and then poured some milk in a glass for Jenny whom happily took it and then started eating looking really happy as she did so.
Jake sat down next to his daughter and just smiled at Haley whom couldn't take his eyes of him, not because she found him sexy or anything, but because she wanted to see what Peyton saw whenever she looked at him, she wanted to see what in Jake had taken Peyton by storm, but she knew that she would never understand what it was about him, and that was probably for the best.
"So Jake, what's up with you?" now that was the Haley James Scott way of asking why the hell are you here? And it looked like Jake knew that, he gave her an amused grin and then looked down at the ground before looking up again.
"Well, I was given permission to take Jenny on a little field trip" he said and then stopped talking as he saw the confused look on Haley's face. "It's a long story Hales"
"I got time Jake" she just said.
"Well you better sit down, because this is going to take some time" he said and then looked at his watch. "Don't you have school?"
"A class was cancelled and I have a few hours to kill" Jake laughed and with that he started telling Haley everything.
He didn't know what made him tell her the stuff that had happened, normally he would just tell Peyton and no one else, but it was something about Haley that made him wanna tell her these things. He watched her as she listened closely, sometimes she would look down at Jenny whom looked like she were ready to eat the entire cookie jar without them noticing. When he was done telling her about Peyton and the things that had happened with them Haley looked like she was ready to burst, like she wanted to both slap him and hug him at the same time.
"So you're the blame" Haley just said, now it was Jake's turn to look confused as he had no idea what was going on in Tree Hill anymore. "Jake, seeing as you haven't been in Tree Hill for a while you don't know what has been going on here, but I am going to tell you, and it's a short story. Brooke and Lucas got together, Peyton and Pete, Me and Nathan married again"
"Congratulations Haley" Jake said.
"I am not done yet Jake" she said and he stopped smiling. "Peyton and Pete didn't happen, I am pregnant, Brooke is pregnant, Karen is pregnant and you are one of the reasons why Peyton is destroying Lucas relationship with Brooke"
Jake looked taken back as Haley said all this, he never understood the consequences of the words he had said to Peyton, mainly because he wasn't there to see what she did when she got back home from Savannah. He loved her with all his heart, but considering her history with Lucas and the fact that she had whispered that she loved him in her sleep made him think that maybe on some unconscious level did she really love him. When the door opened both he and Haley broke eye contact and turned around only to find Brooke Davis standing.
"Well, well, well if it isn't Jake Jagelski back in town" she said a huge smile on her face as she walked up to him and hugged him, she then sat down next to him. "So how you've been singer dad?"
"Singer dad?" Haley asked before Jake had the chance to. "Really Brooke?"
"What?" Brooke asked shrugging. "I have more important stuff to think about than giving Jake here a good nickname, tutor mom"
She turned over to Jake and Haley realized that the conversation was over, and that Brooke was right. She did have other things on her mind, she had called her last night asking her if she could live with them, and seeing as they are best friends Brooke are now living with Haley and Nathan. Haley thought that she could have stayed with her baby daddy, but the big problem with that was that Brooke hadn't told him about being her baby daddy and she wasn't ready to tell him yet.
"I've been good Brooke" he just replied. "Me and Jenny are on a road trip and decided to meet all of you guys again"
"So your probably Jenny" Brooke said, revealing the obvious, she smiled at the small girl and her heart swelled by the thought of her own baby being that big. "You're a big girl now, how old are you?"
Jenny smiled shyly at Brooke before showing her two fingers, Brooke looked shocked before giving the small girl a smile.
"Wow, well when's your birthday Jenny?" this she obviously couldn't answer and Jenny looked up at her dad with a questioning look on her face, Jake only smiled before turning to Brooke.
"Two weeks ago" Jake just replied and Brooke looked down on the small girl again who looked like she felt comfortable in their company, before she had been reserved and shy but now, not so much.
"Well, I think that we should have a birthday party for you" Brooke said smiling at her. "You only turn two years old once right?"
Jenny nodded her head and Brooke laughed at her.
"So what about you stay with me and Haley here and we can talk about your party and buy some stuff while daddy Jake here takes a trip down memory lane?" she looked over at Jake who shrugged and looked down at Jenny.
"You okay with that Jen?" he asked, and smiled proudly as his little girl nodded and waved him away, she was the most important thing in his life and the only thing that he would gladly give up anything for.
He walked out of the café and stopped just outside, she saw Haley and Brooke talking to Jenny looking as every word she said was a gift from god, and that's when he knew that those two would be great mothers, even if they didn't know it themselves. Jake started humming as he walked down the street; he couldn't deny that he had missed this place even though the things that had taken place here. He didn't know where he was going, but trusted that his feet would take him to the place where he was needed the most. Even though it may sound weird, that's Jake. He trusts that faith will bring him to the right place at the right time, and if it doesn't, well then it's not the right place to be. He soon found himself standing just outside the school, he laughed to himself of course this had to be the right place. He walked in and everyone watched him as he walked past, he didn't see anyone of his old friends, maybe they weren't there, considering the drama going on in Tree Hill he wouldn't be surprised if they decided to skip school completely. And that's when he saw her; she held her books in front of her leaning against the locker, looking tired as if the world had been abnormally cruel to her. His heart ached for her, he wanted Peyton Sawyer to see him, but there she just stood almost as if she was trying to gather the strength it took for her to make it through the day. Jake didn't know what he were going to do when she saw him, it was bound to happen, if not today than it would happen tomorrow.
"Jake?" he turned around almost startled by the voice that woke him from his thought, turned around only to find Lucas standing there, the reason he had sent Peyton away. "Wow, I had no idea that you were coming to town"
"Yeah me and Jenny are on a road trip and thought that we should meet the gang again" he said smiling at Luke who looked at him with the same brooding look as he always did, trying to figure out what he was thinking and that the real reason was behind his sudden arrival.
Normally Lucas Scott was able to read everyone emotions and thoughts as easy as if they were written down in a book, but with Jake things were different, he had learned not to show people how he felt. And not even Luke could see through his wall, only one person could and that was the girl whom he thought was the love of his life.
"This is so cool" he said. "Peyton is gonna be thrilled to see you, she's missed you so much"
Before Jake had the chance of stopping Lucas he was dragged towards Peyton's locker. Lucas woke her up from the obvious thoughts and she saw him, she smiled happily at him, but even though she looked happy on the outside Jake couldn't help but wonder why she was so sad. Why she tried so hard to fake her happiness and why Lucas couldn't see how sad she was.
"Good to see you Jake" she said and then hugged him, the feeling of holding her close to him almost drove Jake crazy, he hadn't seen her sense the proposal and the sleep talking, and every day he had missed her like crazy. "I've got class, but we can meet after school right?"
"Yeah sure" Jake just replied smiling at her. "I'm gonna see if I can find some old faces, and then I'm probably gonna see if Brooke and Haley needs any help planning Jenny's grand birthday party"
Peyton looked surprised for a few seconds but then smiled again while Lucas were brooding again, something he did very often, and almost every time someone mentioned Brooke, the only one who noticed though was Haley, and Jake.
"Jenny is here to?" Peyton asked and Jake simply nodded. "I've got to meet the little girl again; can we meet at my place after school?"
"Yeah sure Peyton" Jake said and saw her disappearing around the corner. "So Luke congratulations man"
"Haha, thank's I guess" Lucas just said smiling at Jake. "For what by the way?"
"For becoming a father?" as soon as he saw Lucas's face, Jake knew that he had just said something that he wasn't supposed to and he mentally kicked himself, he had only been here for a few hours and already gotten himself drawn to the center of the Tree Hill drama, something he swore he would never do again.
"What are you talking about?" Lucas just asked.
Jake started looking for a possibly escape from this, maybe he could lie and say that it was all a stupid joke? But that would never work, it if was Nathan than maybe, but Lucas would know that it wasn't a lie. Defeated Jake sighed and shrugged before opening his mouth.
"I'm sorry man, I thought you knew" he just replied, thinking that saying the truth was the best way to survive the wrath of Lucas. "I heard from someone that Brooke was pregnant and I just assumed that it was yours, look, man, this is really getting akward, talk to you later"
Lucas didn't reply but just watched as Jake walked away from him probably to find either Nathan or someone else. His mind was too busy trying to understand that Brooke, his pretty girl was actually pregnant, with his baby. He didn't know if he felt happy about that or if he was scared, did he want a baby with Brooke? Lucas started walking towards his class and soon found himself getting angry with Brooke for not telling him, it was his baby to, didn't he have the right to at least know that she was pregnant before everyone else did? He sat down in the classroom just watching the teacher in front of him not actually listening. His mind was occupied as usual by the feisty brunette that meant the world to him. The day seemed to go by, when the door opened in his last class he looked up just to find Brooke and Haley standing there, it was unusual for them to miss a day of classes, but the teacher didn't say anything when they walked in. They took their places and acted as if nothing had happened, Lucas didn't know if he were going to text Brooke or just talk to her after class, he decided on the second one and just sat there staring at the clock for the remaining time of the class. When the bell rang, showing that the day was over he grabbed all his stuff and walked over to Brooke.
"We need to talk" he just said, she didn't reply but simply walked past him acting as if she hadn't heard him. "Brooke?"
He screamed and ran after her, once outside the school he grabbed her arm and made her stop.
"Let go of me you jackass" she screamed and Lucas dropped her arm as soon as he had grabbed it. "What is it?"
"Why didn't you tell me?" he whispered, tears burning in his eyes as he saw the obvious hatred.
"Tell you what Luke?" she hissed.
He took a deep breath"
"That you're pregnant" he said. "That we're pregnant"
She looked at him with a look that were supposed to make him uncomfortable, but instead he just smiled poorly at her not knowing what she wanted her to say, what she needed of him, because whatever it was he would do it.
"I'm the one who's pregnant Lucas" she said tears threatening to run down her cheeks and ruining her make-up. "As far as I'm concerned you left me the day you kissed Peyton, which means that I'm the one who's pregnant, and we, we are nothing, you hear me? Nothing"
Brooke turned her back on him and took the car and drove off, leaving Lucas standing there looking after her as tears ran down his cheeks, blurring his vision until he almost couldn't see her car, that's when it happened. Another car drove into Brookes, everyone saw it happen.
"BROOKE" Lucas screamed and started running, he could hear Peyton, Nathan and Haley run after him.
He soon reached the car and opened up the door, there Brooke was. Blood running down her forehead, and her arm in a weird angle, Lucas carefully dragged her out of the car, crying as he held her in his arms.
"Brooke, don't die, please don't die pretty girl" he whined looking down at her unconscious body.
He merely noticed when Nathan, Haley and Peyton got there, they all looked down at Lucas sitting there crying his eyes out, and Brooke not moving. Both Haley and Peyton started crying and sat down next to him while Nathan took his cell phone and called the ambulance.
"We need an ambulance now; there's been a car crash"
