Mouth nervously walked into Nathan and Haley's house, he knew they would be in the back cooking out since that's what they did ever Saturday, he was tired no doubt about that he had just sat on a plane for hours and he had yet to get home. He made his way into the kitchen where Nathan, Haley and Lucas stood he took a deep breath then entered.
"Hey Mouth I'm glad you made it." Haley smiled hugging him.
"Have I ever missed a Saturday?"
"No you haven't."
"But hey I brought ya'll a present." He smiled nervously again.
"Really I love presents." Nathan laughed taking a sip of his drink.
"Yeah well this one is more for Haley but I think you and Lucas may like it I don't know."
"Ok give me give me." Haley said putting out her hands.
"Well it's not that kind of present." Mouth said looking up at Lucas.
"Then what kind of…" and before Haley could finish she walked in.
Brooke stood there and waved nervously at the three people in front of her and before she could speak Haley tackled her with a hug.
"Brooke." She said hugging her as tears came.
"No no don't cry on me Tutor Wife because if you start I'll start." Brooke said as she felt the tears already building up in her eyes.
"Brooke." Nathan smiled walking over hugging her. "It's so good to see you, I'm glad you are here."
"Thanks Nate I'm glad to be here too." Then she looked up and all her fears came rushing back he was right in front. He pulled her in for an awkward hug and said hello. She smiled a fake smile then turned and looked back at Haley, but before she could speak she heard the front door close and in comes Rachel.
"No don't worry Brooke I got all of it no need for you to help out all, I moved all the stuff from the taxi in Mouth's car. Oh and don't worry I got Joey too you don't move your skinny ass." Rachel said sarcastically walking in with Joey on her hip.
"No bad words." Joey said putting his hand over Rachel's mouth making everyone laugh, but the laughing soon stopped and the faces turned into confused ones.
"Umm… Rachel you have a kid?" Nathan asked confused. Rachel just looked at Brooke who looked at Mouth you looked back at Rachel.
"Umm…" Rachel started completely ready to cover for Brooke if she had too but then a small voice stopped her.
"No Aunt Rachie isn't my mommy." Joey giggled wiggling out of Rachel's arms as he walked over to Brooke. "This is my mommy." He smiled reaching for her. Brooke smiled and picked him up, then turned to all the confused faces.
"Brooke you have a kid?" Haley asked.
"Umm…yeah I do." Brooke's smile slowly faded when she noticed Lucas's face.
"How old is he?" Lucas snapped.
"Lucas…I..." Brooke stuttered she knew coming back she had to tell him but she thought maybe she could lie some change his age make them not realize it this soon but with the look Lucas was giving her she knew nothing she said mattered he knew and she couldn't change that.
"How old is he?" he snapped again.
"4" she whispered.
"You're kidding right?" he yelled.
"Luke man what the hell?" Nathan said confused to why his brother was so pissed.
"How could You Brooke?"
"How could she what?" Haley asked now more confused.
"Joey sweetie why don't you go outside." Brooke said putting him down.
"Mommy I want to sat with you? Why you sad?" he asked wiping a tear off her cheek.
"Mommy isn't sad just needs to talk to the grownups right now." She smiled.
"Hey gorgeous how about we go outside? Haley is Jamie out there?" Haley just smile and nodded "Ok want to go meet Jamie?" Rachel asked taking Joey's hand leading him outside so he wouldn't witness what was about to happen.
"Damn it Brooke are you going to talk or just stand there?"
"Lucas stop! What are you doing?" Haley snapped.
"What I'm doing is there is a very high chance that little boy outside is mine."
"What?" Haley and Nathan said at the same time.
"Yeah unless Brookie here had fun random crazy one night stands about the same time she screwed me. Did you Brooke I mean after you left that morning how many guys did you screw that night or weekend? I mean the dates don't really add up so who knows. I could have been.."
"That's enough!" Rachel said walking in from the backyard.
"Rachel stay out of it this is non of your business." Lucas snapped not taking his eyes off Brooke who still has yet to speak.
"None of my business if it's anyone in this houses business it…."
"Hers!" Brooke snapped finally speaking "Rachel was there for me when none of ya'll were, she was there when I found out I was pregnant! She went out when I had crazy ass food cravings and when I wanted ice cream in the middle of the night." She yelled ones she started talking she couldn't stop "Rachel was there when I went into labor early and held my hand through delivery, she's the one who sat with me when I thought I was going to lose him and when he stopped breathing, Rachel was there telling me he was going to be alright because he was Brooke Davis's baby." She yelled as tears streamed down her cheek. "And when I finally was able to bring him home she was the one who would take turns watching him sleep because I was so afraid he would stop. So don't you dare! If it's anyone's business it's hers."
"Brooke…" Haley said as tears feel down her face.
"We would have been there if we knew." Nathan said in an apologetic voice.
"Well you weren't and she was."
"Brooke you left! You left us! So don't make us feel guilty for not being there." Lucas said calmly but still clearly mad.
"What about in high school then?" Rachel yelled.
"What about high school?" Haley asked as she looked over at Brooke who just looked down.
"Oh come on you five were like together all the damn time it was almost sick. I mean I was actually almost jealous about your little group, but then when Lucas cheated on Brooke for the second time with her best friend it was like they ended so ya'll ended with her. Which was funny since Nathan weren't you friends with Brooke before Lucas? And Haley isn't Brooke the one who covered for you when you found out you were pregnant?"
Haley and Nathan just nodded.
"Then how come ya'll stopped being her friend? I mean once Peyton and Lucas got it on everyone shunned Brooke."
"We didn't shun her!" Lucas said rolling his eyes.
"Really? Ok Lucas how long after you and Brooke broke up were you with Peyton?" Lucas just starred at her not speaking "And as soon as you got with Peyton did you ever talk to Brooke anymore? No you didn't, do you know how many nights I sat there and listened to Brooke cry herself to sleep over your sorry ass."
"Brooke I didn't realize we did that I'm sorry I just thought you were happy with Chase and Rachel that you I don't know." Haley said looking at the ground.
"No Hales its fine it's no big deal." Brooke said giving her a small smile.
"Ok so what that gives her an excuse not to tell me about my kid!"
"No the fact you're an ass gives her a right!" Rachel yelled.
"I'm the ass I don't get told about my kid and I'm the ass that's rich."
"Seriously Lucas are you kidding me right now, if I was her I would of never told you I mean you're not very trusting."
"What is that suppose to mean?"
"Let's see you date her you cheat on her, then she tell you she maybe pregnant then you tell her she is a slut and it isn't yours…"
"Lucas you didn't!" Haley snapped as Lucas just stood there.
"Oh he did Haley but it gets better, let's see you finally date her again get her to fall in love with you again, then cheat on her with her best friend again, then rumors start she is pregnant a rumor that your best friend over there started or didn't correct, and you tell her she has is having Chris Keller the second, then weeks later you're in bed with her best friend so yeah your very trusting. I mean she would tell you and you would be like no slut you have no night stand with me so you have it with everyone else, yeah I don't know why she didn't run to tell you."
"Is that really why you didn't tell me?" Brooke again didn't speak but instead just look at her fingers "Talk Brookie I mean you have Rachel speaking this whole time and you spoke what once come one Brookie talk!"
"My name is not Brookie!" Brooke she whispered.
"What?" Lucas said a little confused.
"I said my name is not Brookie," she snapped looking up at him "it's not Cheery and it's not your Pretty Girl, and it's sure as hell isn't Peyton!" Brooke yelled causing everyone to turn and look at Lucas. "Oh quiet now Lucas don't want to speak? Don't you remember the line you used 'I need you I need my Pretty Girl!'I remember it, I remember how you used it and used me and I also remember while you were with me, in bed with me, and inside me you saying 'I love you, I love you so much Peyton,' because that Lucas that line echoes in my damn head!" Lucas stood there shocked he honestly didn't remember saying that but by the hurt in her eyes and tears running down her face he realized he broke her all over again. "So your right I'm a horrible person for not telling you and I may have messed up royal but the only regret I have in all this time is knowing you, letting myself fall for you and letting you use me, because you Lucas you used the hell out of me!"
About that time Jamie and Joey came in. "Mommy you ok?"
"Perfect baby." Brooke said picking up Joey and turning to leave.
"You can't keep him from me!" Lucas yelled at her.
"No but I can sure as hell keep you away from me!" she yelled back slamming the front door.
"How about we play I've never?" Rachel smiled picking up a beer as everyone turned and looked at her. She smiled as she slowly walked up to Lucas "I've never been a heartless bastard. Here you go Luke drink up." She said handing him the drink and following her best friend.
"Luke…" Haley tried to say but not sure what to say.
"Whatever." He muttered and walked out the back door.
Nathan, Haley and Mouth all kind of stood there in an awkward silence.
"Well you like your present?" Mouth smiled trying to lighten the mood.
"Actually I love it."Haley smiled. "I really do."
