I'm sorry but I screwed up a bit. When I wrote "half brother and sister" I actually meant step brother and step sister. Lucas and Peyton both have the same father but different mothers. Their story will be revealed in one of the the next chapters.

+ I changed it on the first page and I've added that the basic line is hugely inspired by "Cruel Intentions". I'm watching the sequel right now :)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Brooke looked down. A cute little baby girl was peacefully sleeping. Brooke's eyes sparkled when the baby turned her head lightly in her direction. She was amazing and definitely one of the most beautiful things she'd ever seen.

-"I hope you didn't mind coming."

Haley appeared from behind her and settled beside Brooke leaning on the bed.

-"What? You're kidding me? I would never miss all this fun. Besides, it's not that I know many people around here."

-"Well, many know you ... but I'm not sure it's a good or a bad thing"

Brooke let her hand slip so she could touch the baby's hand. Five little fingers immediately embraced her finger. The warm feeling inside her heart was growing faster than she expected.

-"What's her name?"

-"Jenny."

-"What about the parents?"

-"Her mother Nicki left when she was born. She loved drugs way more than her, so she was left behind with my friend Jake who became a single dad."

-"His parents?"

-"They live in Florida. He was not ready to leave Tree Hill ... said he had some unfinished business here."

-"What does that mean?"

-"I have no idea"

A compassionate smile ran away.

-"He's doing one hell of a job"

-"Yeah he is ... That's why I need to remind him to take a break sometimes."

Haley took a babyphone in her hand and put it down next to the sleeping beauty increasing the volume of the microphone.

-"Come on ... Let's go downstairs before we ruin someone's sleep. You have no idea how hard it is to get her in this stage"

Leaving the nursery Brooke took a last look on the baby bed just to catch a glimp of this sweet child between the rails. Haley was already sitting on the couch making a sign with her hand for Brooke to come and sit next to her. Brooke jumped out of excitement on the soft couch.

-"Sooo ... Are you ready for your first date with the hot captain of the basketball team?"

-"I actually was, till some crazy girl arranged it for me."

-"Oh come on, You have nothing to worry about. You're smart and beautiful, he's so gonna fall for you. All you have to do is say "Hi" ... and pick the right dress.

-"Well maybe that's the thing ... He came yesterday to the Tudor Centre and all he asked was if I was Haley and where I more! I don't even know where we are going or what we are going to do ... "

-"So he doesn't talk much ... and maybe he wants to surprise you, I don't know ... but I definitely know what you two are going to do tomorrow."

Haley's eyes gave her a gamey expression. Brooke responded with a huge smile.

-"You want something to drink?"

-"It depends ... what does this Jake got."

-"I'm about to find out"

Haley stood up, ready to make her way to the kitchen when a doorbell rang.

-"Wauw ... I didn't expect for Jake to come back so soon."

-"Doesn't he have a ke..."

She opened the door.

-"Haley!?"

-"What are you doing here?"

He stood drenched in front of Haley. His eyes gave her an expression of a lost little dog that was hopelessly looking for his owner. After a while she realized that it was pouring outside and invited him in.

Brooke choked in her laugh.

-"You're timing is perfect, sexy."

Nathan knew exactly who was in the other room. Brooke appeared from behind the door and met him and Haley in the hall. She picked up her umbrella.

-"I was just leaving and apparently Haley is bored to death. You think you can do something about that?"

Opening the door she protected herself from the rain and stepped cheerfully outside pushing him further inside.

-"You two should definitely try out the couch. Have fun kids."

It left them both speechless while they saw her getting in the car. Haley closed the door and led him in. "Confidence" Broke had thought her.

-"Wait, I'm gonna find a towel"

-"No, it's really okay..."

But she was already back with a soft purple towel.

-"Get your clothes off!"

He was ... surprised? confused! Was she asking or commanding?

-"What?"

-"Come on, get them off."

Nope ... she wasn't asking

-"Not only you'll be sick but you're also destroying Jake's parquet with your wet clothes and I can't let that happen. I'll go and find some of his."

She went upstairs and he started to undress.

Stripping in an empty room in a strangers house with a girl pimp was not something he expected to happen when he arrived here. He just needed to ask Jake some things and places Haley would like to go tomorrow. After all it seemed like he was their only mutual friend.

She ran back down the stairs and threw some clothes at him.

-"I hope they'll fit"

He caught. She laughed. She was enjoying every piece of his athletic body. They both knew that.

-"Soo ... where is Jake? And what are you doing here?"

-"I sent him away. The boy needs some fun. What about you?"

-"I guess I could use some as well. My dad is freaking me out."

Did he say that? Why did he say that to her ? She blushed.

-"I meant why are you here actually."

-"Oh ... I was looking for Jake. We need to talk ... about B-ball tactics."

He looked quickly down trying to get in Jake's pants. His first lie. She knew. He's cute.

-"Now that you're here ... want something to drink?"

-"It depends ... what does Jake got."

As she wanted to say something, she heard a tiny voice coming out of the baby phone. It seemed like everyone was doomed to die thirsty in this house.

Avoiding everything she ran up as fast as she could.

Nathan watched her sprint without looking on the small steps and decided to follow her. As the stairs came to an end there were three rooms in front of him. One left, one right and one in front of him with a open door. Following his intuition he walked inside the purple room.

He found Haley holding a crying baby in her hands. If he didn't know it was Jake's he would have no doubt to say she was the mother. The whole room was shaking while Haley was trying to suss the little girl.

-"Here, let me."

Haley tilt her head and passed the baby slowly afraid that she could break her.

As the girl came into his hands she immediately stopped crying. Maybe it were his strong hands that gave her a feeling of protection, maybe the way he was holding her, maybe she thought he was her father. It didn't matter ... cause she stopped crying.

-"I think she likes you"

-"Nah ... I think it's the clothes."

She smiled and looked down twisting her foot. This was a whole new Nathan for her, but she was glad that she was the one to discover him.

-"Haley! What did I tell you about boys while you're babysitting?"

Jake came smiling inside.

-"Next time you two want to play "family" you can always call me. I'm sure I can arrange something"

Family. The three of them were laughing, but just ONE of them felt sad.

------------------------------------------------------

Didn't expect to see such cute scenes in "M" rated fic, did you!? I'm sorry but it's still OTH and there is a reason why I use those characters besides my enormous love for the show.

There are still other people that will be introduced: Skills, Mouth, Rachel and Dan are some of the special ingredients that might turn the story upside down :)

Untill now ...

Peyton is a bitch and a kind of villain

Lucas is confused and broody (as always he doesn't know what he wants)

Brooke is fun

Haley is Haley

Nathan will grow from a jerk into a loving person

---------------------------------------------

But most interesting of all ...

What information about Brooke was hidden in the envelope?

What is written in Lucas's diary (It's not about his adventures about the girls he slept with)

What unfinished business does Jake has?

---------------------------------------------

Next Chapter "Plans" - SPOILERS

Brooke finds a red envelope stuck on the door of her locker.

Peyton makes a promise.

The game is on!
