Heeey there again my beautiful readers and followers… Here is the next chapter and I hope you like it just as much as I loved writing it. I'm defiantly going to stick with this story as I have more followers then I thought I'd ever get with this story and I appreciate it a lot.
I'm glad you liked the Lucas POV at the beginning I wasn't sure if it'd go down with a hit, but I guess it did and I'm so happy I got good feedback on it.
SO in this chapter I have a slight twist relating to Peyton and I'm not sure if ya'll will like it, but I promise it had a reason of happening and that will come in later in the story, but I hope you all don't hate me for it or for what is about to come in the next chapter or so… I'm not gong give any spoilers I'm just gonna say to please keep following me with this story and I'll assure you that like all my stories it will end with a happy ending.
Anyway I'll let you get reading…
I shot up in my bed and ran into my bathroom falling to my knees and hugging the toilet as I start to bring up my dinner from last night. God this morning sickness is kicking my butt. My mouth tasted disgusting and sure as hell didn't taste like last night's dinner. After I finish being sick I wipe my mouth with my flannel and rinse out my mouth with some cold water before using warm water and splashing my face then doing my tooth brush. I hated this morning sickness and I wish it'd stop. It had been a week since Lucas just randomly turned up at my house and we had that sort of talk in the kitchen. Everything seemed to start fitting into place itself.
"Brooke" I hear my name being called from outside the bathroom "Pretty Girl" it was of course Lucas. Ever since the talk in the kitchen a week ago he has come by everyday checking on me and making sure everything was okay "Brooke" He says my name again when he doesn't get an answer the first time.
"Hmm" I slowly open the bathroom door crawling out of there and over to my bed getting under the covers.
"Brooke..." He sits on my bed and looks at me "You okay?"
I nod slowly feeling drained from all the sickness every morning, day and night. God I really don't know why they call it morning sickness if it last all fricking day "Yeah I'm fine"
"You don't look fine" He states the obvious "You want me to stay with you?" He asks and I shake my head.
"Nah its fine Luke" I tell him "Honestly, I'm fi…" I run out of my bed and back into the bathroom shutting the door falling to my knees again and spilling out my guts. I honestly don't think I have anything else to throw up. I flush the chain after I'm done and crawl back out the bathroom "See I'm just fine" I give a weak smile.
"Morning sickness huh?" He questions and I nod
"More like all day and night sickness" I joke with a small hint of a laugh.
"How about I make you something light to eat?"
"Nah its fine Luke" I tell him "I'm gonna go to the café soon to go see Haley. I'll grab something there" It was Saturday morning, so what did I have to do… nothing so going to meet Haley was my best option.
"You sure Pretty Girl?"
I nod "Yeah I'm sure, but thanks anyway"
"Anything for you" I give another small smile "Well anyway I'm going to run some errands for My Mom as she's looking after a poorly Lilly, but I'll ring you later to check you're okay"
"Luke… you seriously don't need to do th…" I go to say, but he cuts me off.
"I'm calling later Pretty Girl end of conversation" He stands up and gives me a kiss on the forehead then walks to my bedroom door "Catch ya later princess"
-xx-
So I don't know what is going on between Lucas and me yet. It's been a week and everything seems to be going just fine. Peyton and I haven't seen each other lately not even at school, but that can wait for another time. After finally having the strength I got dressed into a pink tank top with my blank cardigan and my sweat pants with my black pumps brushing my teeth for about the sixth time this morning before I head to Karen's café. I walk into the café the bell above the door chiming seeing Haley standing behind the counter with a wash cloth in her hand.
"Brooke" She smiles at me "How are you?"
"I'm good thank you" I tell her sitting on a stool "Been better though"
"Oh why what's up?" She asks sounded worried as she wipes down the counter and cash register "Everything okay with the baby?"
"Yeah" I nod with a small smile "This morning sickness is kicking my ass though" I tell her giving a small laugh "I don't know why they call it morning sickness if it lasts all day and all fricking night"
"Yeah most pregnant girls say the same thing" Haley laughed "It stops soon though I think"
"God I hope so" I run my hand through my hair "I don't think I could handle this for the next 6 months"
"Oh Brookie…"
I hold up my finger to her covering my mouth with my other hand "Sorry Hales, I'll be back in a sec" I say jumping off the stool and running to the bathroom. Gosh how I hate this whole morning sickness.
"Hey Hales" I hear Peyton's voice as I walk back from the bathroom. I stop for a minute and then carry on walking "Brooke" she says when she sees me walking over.
"Peyton" I nod and sit back on the stool I was sat at. First time seeing her in like a week or so.
"Want something to eat Brooke" Haley asks "Lucas told me to make sure you eat something" I give her a look raising my eyes brow "Whaaat? He called this morning"
I give a long sigh. Lucas being Lucas. Worrying all too much about me "Oh I bet he did" I shake my head looking up at the menu above Haley's head "He came by this morning to check on me and I was being sick, so he said his gonna ring me to make sure I'm not dead" I shake my head. Typical Lucas.
"Aww his just worrying about you" Haley tells me and I nod because I know his trying to show how sorry he is and how much he does indeed love me and that is why I'm trying not to flip out on him and try to hold back my hormones.
"Yeah I know Hales" I give a smile "Anyway I'll have a house special with extra fries and some onion rings" I tell her "Ooooo and strawberry milkshake" Haley kinks her eye brow up at me "What I have a big appetite which ends up in the toilet afterwards anyway which means I won't put on any baby weight" I joke which Haley laughs at "Oh and bubba is hungry" Haley nods and puts my order in to the cook behind her.
"So you and Lucas?" Haley turns back to me. Peyton just looking at us.
"Me and Lucas nothing Hales" I say with a shrug "We're being civil because of the baby, that's it"
"So you don't feel anything for him?" She questions "I mean at all… nothing"
"Haleeeeyyyy" I whine as she places my food in front of me after about 10 minutes "Stop prying"
"I'm not" She protests holding up to hands "Just curious"
"He apologises and I know his sorry, but that doesn't stop the fact he still slept with her" I nod towards Peyton who shifts under the statement I just made "Once I get pass that, if I get pass that then maybe Lucas and I will be Brucas once again, but for now there is no Brucas; just Lucas and Brooke"
"Okay" Haley sits my strawberry milkshake down by my plate "So got any names picked out yet?"
"Lucas and I haven't talked about that yet. We're just excited for the scan tomorrow" I answer taking a free fry and dipping into the barbeque sauce Haley passed me "But I've always loved the name Aria for a girl" I tell her "But who knows what I'm having"
"Yeah" Haley nods
I just about finish my breakfast when my phone started to buzz. I grabbed it out of my pocket and answered not looking at caller ID "Hello"
"Hey Pretty Girl just me" I hear Lucas say.
"Oh hey Luke" I take a sip of my milkshake "What's up?"
"Just making sure you're okay after this morning I've been worried about you" Lucas informs me.
"Oh I'm fine Broody" I tell him "Just at your mom's café with Hales and Peyton"
"Oh you and Peyton talking now?" He questions just sitting in his car.
"Well not really" I look over at Peyton "She hasn't said much"
"Oh" Was his response "Anyway have you eaten and I don't mean a slice of toast Brooke. I mean a proper breakfast?"
"Yes" I roll my eyes at him "Just finished actually"
"Okay good" I can literally hear a smile appear on his face "Well I'll come by and make you some dinner later if you like"
"Yeah sure" I smile at that "I'll see you later then Broody"
"Okay" I hear him start his car "I'll see you later Pretty Girl"
Then I heard the dial tone and put my phone in my pocket again "Lucas?" Haley asks with a small smile.
I nod "Yeah his checking in on me again" I shrug "He does it all the time"
"His worried for you"
"I'm pregnant Hals, not dying"
"Yeah well the morning sickness is kicking your ass remember" Haley raised her eye brow.
"I guess" I huff sipping at my milkshake.
"So Brooke erm… How's the pregnancy going?" Peyton actually speaks making me jerk my head to her.
"Well other than the morning sickness everything is good" I reply glad to be talking to Peyton again after everything. If I was being honest I have missed my bestfriend. I've missed her a lot.
"Well I'm glad B. Davis" She smiles at me "Look Brooke about everything that has happened. I'm sorry. I know I screwed up and I know that everything is messed up because of what I did and I'm just so sorry for it all"
"Yeah I know Peyt" I nod giving her a small smile "I know your sorry and I know Lucas is sorry and it has taken me some time and I know it will never fully go away… it will always be there, but I'm willing to try and get pass it and I'm trying to forgive you both. I just need more time"
"I can understand that" She nods "I just want my friend back"
"Yeah I know Peyt" I nod "I want my friend back too. I miss her"
"I miss you too"
"Anyway I better be off. I'm going shopping" I tell them both jumping down from the stool "Bye girls"
"Bye" both Haley and Peyton say at the same time.
I give them both a smile. Not really in the fighting mood anymore. Just gonna let it go. I no longer have the energy to fight with Peyton all the time.
-xx-
"Brooookeeee" I hear my name being called from behind me "Brooookeeee" Came the voice again. I turn around and see Karla my old friend from middle school. She moved just before I started high school "OMG Brooke you look amazing"
"Thanks, so do you Kar" I reply bringing her into a hug "How you been?"
"I've been good girl" She says as she pulls away "You?"
"Oh I've been better, but I'm getting there" I answer taking a can of tuna and placing it in my shopping cart.
"Oh right congratulations babe" She beams another huge smile at me "On the baby I mean"
"How'd you know I was pregnant" I question turning my full body to her.
"It's a small town Brooke… people talk" she replies and I nod knowing that was the truth. I go to say something else when we hear a small voice coming from behind Karla.
"Mama can I have sweet please?" I turn my head to see a little girl with big brown eyes, long dark black hair staring up at us.
"Only if you're a good girl" Karla replies.
"I will Mama, I'll be the bestest" She looked so much like Karla and she was very polite for being so little.
"Okay then we'll pick a sweet in a minute baby girl" Karla picked up the little girl and turned to me again "She's three" She says like she knew what I'm thinking "And as you heard she's mine also"
"She's gorgeous Kar" I smile at the little girl "What's your name beautiful?" I ask the little girl, her big brown eyes lock onto mine.
"Me Erica" She responded
"Well that's a lovely name Erica, I'm Brooke"
"Me like that name" She gives a goofy smile making me smile even more.
"Well as nice as this was we have to get going Brooke" Karla cuts in "My boyfriend is coming to pick us up in a bit"
"Oh well okay" I smile "It was nice seeing you again Karla"
"Yeah you too Brooke"
"And you too Erica" I smile at the little girl and she gives a goofy grin back "Bye"
"Bye Brooke" Karla says walking pass me and down the aisle.

I sat on the counter in the kitchen at my house watching as Lucas strode around cooking dinner and god did it smell gorgeous. I started to swing my legs humming to a song I heard on the radio in my car this afternoon. The tune just stuck with me the rest of the day. I sip at my cold lemonade. I've had no sickness since after I ate at Karen's this morning. Oh maybe Karen's food is a cure. Oh I like the sound of that since her food was just so good.
"I like Aria for a girl" I randomly say as he turns to face me putting the lid back on the pot.
"Aria?" He questions looking confused at what I was on about.
"Yeah Aria, I've liked the name ever since I watched the first episode of pretty little liars" I tell him seeing a smile creep on his face "What's so funny?"
"I remember the first time you made me watch that with you" He tells me and I smile remembering that too.
"Lucas come sit" I motion for him to come sit with me on the couch. One of my favourite programmes was about to come on.
"What we watching?" He asks walking towards me with two cans of soda in his hands.
"Pretty Little Liars is coming"
"Annnnnd that's my cue to leave" He says putting my diet cola down in front of me then going to walk out the living room and towards the front door.
"Luuuukeee" I whine getting up and rushing to him so he couldn't leave. I stand in front of him with my bottom lip poking out "Come watch with me" I pout pulling on his shirt poking my bottom lip out further "Pretty please and plus it's late out"
"Broooooke… I'm a guy" He says making me laugh "I'm not meant to watch things like that"
"Yeah, but don't you love me?" I walk slowly towards him "I mean you don't want me to be all alone in this big house do you?" I nibble at his ear lobe knowing what that does to him "I mean my brother moved out and my sister is gone too"
"Baby" He grasps and I smile.
"Hmm?" I lean up to his ear again "I'll make it worth your while" I whisper seductively in his ear seeing him swallow hard.
"Oookay" He grasps again dragging out the word.
I grab him by the hand and pull him towards the living room "Awesome" Lucas sits down and I plonk myself down beside him laying my legs over his as Pretty Little Liars makes an appearance on the TV.
"Oh you loved watching it" I joke "Admit it" Surprisingly it feels like everything is back to normal. I feel like us again.
"Nooooo" He shakes his head "What I loved is what happened once it finished" Lucas makes his way over to me. Positioning himself between my legs running circles around my inner thigh "It was sooo worth the watch"
"Oh I bet it was" I tell him shaking my head with a laugh.
"So anyway Pretty Girl how are you?" He asks
"I'm fine" I shrug "I'm gonna make nice with Peyton. Like officially" I tell him wanting my bestfriend back, but knowing it could and never be like it once was.
"You are?" He questions looking up at me and I give a nod "Why baby?"
"Because I'm pregnant Luke" I say like it's the obvious reason when it really isn't "I'm just tired of fighting with people and I'm tired of fighting with Peyton. She once was my bestfriend and then we let you get between us and now look at us all we don't even like being in the same room" I tell him "Naley are happy and in love. Whatever this is between us I'm finally at peace with it now and Peyton isn't happy and that's because she misses me and I know that and I just want everyone to be happy Luke"
"Yeah I know princess" He nods with a smile "And I am sorry about you and Peyton and I know it's my fault"
"Not all of it Luke" I voice to him "She could have said no"
"Yeah I know that" He looks away from me.
"So I have my appointment tomorrow" I say as Lucas goes back to cooking "It's after school"
"What time?" He asks stirring the pot.
"5:30"
"I'll be there" He turns round and smiles "Dinner will be ready in 5"
"Okay Master Chef" I laugh and jump down from the counter "I'm going to change"
"Okay Pretty Girl"
I walk up the stairs and to my room getting my Minnie Mouse pyjamas out of my drawer and starting to changing thinking about how my body will start to slowly change. I have a baby inside of me growing and I love it already… is that crazy? I hear my phone buzz on the night stand and go to answer it.
"Hello"
"Brooke" I hear Peyton's voice "Brooke"
"Yeah I'm here" I answer "Peyton what's wrong?"
"I'm scared" She whispers, but loud enough for me to hear her "And I'm sorry"
"Peyton where are you?"
"I'm at home" She whispers "Broooke I'm sooo scared your gonna hate me"
"Peyton what's the matter… I'm starting to get worried now" I tell her sitting on my bed.
"I'm stupid" She hits the palm of her hand to her head with a sigh "I shouldn't have done it. I should have told you today at the café, but I couldn't"
"Done what sweetie? Should have told me what at the café? Peyton you're scaring me" I cross my legs on my bed waiting for her answer. I know we aren't friends fully right this moment, but I also know that I still care for her so much.
"I'm sorry I slept with Lucas" I hear her sob "I really am Brooke. Doing that has made me lose you and I want you back so much"
"Yeah I know Peyt" I sit on my bed "I know you are and I know you do"
"Brooke I'm really scared" She says again. I was getting all confused once more "I'm really scared your gonna hate me even more than you already do"
"Peyton sweetie what you talking about?" I hear her let out a sigh again "I don't hate you"
"Your gonna hate me after this"
"Peyton please tell me what's going on"
"Brooke I'm pregnant" My throat tightens and I don't know what to say to that. Was she telling me that she is pregnant with My Lucas's baby, but he isn't mine anymore. Not like he used to be "Brooke I didn't mean for this to happen. I'm so sorry… please don't hate me"
"Lucas is the father right?" I question tears forming in my eyes. Was she about to tell me that I had to share Lucas with her for the rest of our lives "Is that why your scared?" I mutter to her harshly.
"No Brooke Lucas isn't the father" I felt relief but yet scared again. Who could possibly be the father for me to hate her?
"Then why are you apologising " I question. Who could the father be?
"Brandon… Brooke" She answers the questions I was thinking like she was in my head or something. My heart sinks and I don't know what to say "I'm sorry"
"How?" I ask then regret that question. I already know how "Actually don't answer that I know how, but I mean he isn't even in Tree Hill anymore. His away for college"
"Yeah I know, but once the whole thing with us happened all those months ago and then I wanted to hurt you even more because I thought you already hate me so what did I have to lose" She starts to say and I hear her out. Tears caught in my throat. She wanted to hurt me even more so she goes and sleeps with my brother "So I go out of town for a weekend and bump into him two towns over, he was at a friend's birthday party and invited me to come hang with them for the rest of the night and I agreed. He didn't know what happened between us and what I did to you or that we were fighting… So I figured why not a little fun and hang with him and his friends for the night, then that night we both got really drunk and it just happened. I woke up the next morning and I felt really bad because I betrayed your trust once again and I left then he rang me and wanted to meet to talk about it so we did and now I'm pregnant"
"You slept with my brother?" It just wasn't registering with me "And now you're pregnant" I couldn't believe this. First Lucas and now my brother.
"I didn't mean for this to happen Brooke"
"Just like you didn't mean to sleep with Lucas!" I bark at her "Who else are you going to sleep with that are mine huh?"
"It's not like that Brooke" She tells me and I just laugh "I like him a lot"
"Riiight?" I nod even though she can't see me "After a night or two you like him"
"Brooke…" She goes to speak when I cut her off.
"It's more than that isn't it Sawyer?" I questions standing up from my bed and pacing around my room "How long?"
"A few weeks or so" She mutters and my eyes go wide.
"So you've known where's his been all this time?"
"His back in Tree Hill Brooke" She tells me and my heart drops. He hasn't answered his phone to me ever since he left 4 years ago, but now his back in tree hill and Peyton is the one telling me "And his on his way to you" at that moment I heard the doorbell go.
"I have to go" I hang up before she can say anything else. Rushing out of the room and down the stairs. Lucas had already opened the door and there stood my one and only brother Brandon "You got her pregnant… out of all people her Brandon"
"Brooke wait… let me explain" He pleads holding up both hands.
"There's nothing to explain" I shake my head at him "She's already told me Brandon. Looks like she beat you to it"
"Brooke..." He starts to say again, but I cut him off.
"Four years Brandon… Four years and not one word. No letter, email, text, phone call or even a damn post card and you were only two towns over" My body felt drained. God why did people have the need to always hurt me and lie to me. I must have done some shitty things in my past life to deserve all this "You left me for college and I was here all by myself and then you come back to tree hill not for me, but because you got her pregnant"
"It wasn't meant to happen Brooke" He goes to step towards me, but I step back "It was a drunken mistake at first, but then I started to like her. I'm sorry"
"Brandon Davis doesn't do relationships remember" I mutter a tear rolled down my face.
"I grew up B" He shrugs
"No…" I shake my head with a little small laugh "No you didn't because you party all the time and this is how that happened" I tell him shaking my head even more "I called you all the time" I tell him seeing him look at me "I called you because I needed my big brother. The big brother who told me he'd always protect me no matter what. The big brother who promised never to forget me when he left. My big brother I need and you didn't answer your phone any time I called and I needed you the most and you wasn't there Brandon and then she tells you she's pregnant and now you're back in Tree Hill. You come running when she calls, but when I call I get your damn answer phone call the time"
"Brooke I'm sorry"
"Yeah so am I" I then shut the door and walked away "Come on Luke I'm starving" I grab Luke by the hand and walk into the kitchen just leaving my big brother to do whatever he likes.
So I hope you liked this chapter.
