A/N: Enjoy the chapter, I had loads of fun writing it!


Someday: Chapter 4

"You done in there?" Brooke called out to Rachel.

"Just wait-- a minute." Rachel replied, she stood up off the toilet and flushed the chain before setting the pregnancy test down before she washed her hands. "Come in."

She had just walked into the main bathroom in the Van de Graffs apartment. Brooke had promised Isabella the day before she could come and sort everything out, and while the young girl still wasn't talking to her Brooke wanted to show she meant everything she said. And as Rachel refused to do the test without Brooke they had to do it here, with Brooke checking in on Isabella and Sam every couple of minutes. She walked in and sat next to Rachel on the edge of the Bath.

--Tree Hill--

"Is it ready?" Lucas asked, the excitement plainly obvious in his voice.

"Steady there tiger, you have to wait 3 minutes before we know anything" Lindsey said smiling joining him, sitting on the bed the pregnancy test in her hands. The next 3 minutes were going to be the longest of her life. She and Lucas had been here before and they had only been disappointed, but this time she was certain it was going to be positive.

"How about now?" Lucas asked.

"Its only been a couple seconds." Lindsey laughed, trying to her hide her nervousness.

--New York--

"Is it ready now?" Rachel asked her leg bouncing up and down, her face looking everywhere but the sink where the test was resting.

Brooke looked down at her watch, "Its only been a minute. You have two more minutes" She replied, looking back at Rachels nervous face.

It surprised Brooke how scared Rachel actually was. In all the years Brooke knew Rachel she never let on whether she was scared or nervous, so for her not to be able to contain it must mean that the level of nerves that Rachel was experiencing were off the chart. Brooke held Rachel in her arms until the timer function on her watch beeped. Brooke looked at Rachel who shook her head. So Brooke walked over and picked up the test, looking at the result, she turned to look at Rachel, her big eyes were already filled with tears.

"Your…"

--T H--

When the timer went off, Lindsey took a deep breath in and turned the pregnancy test over. Disappointment engulfed her and she stood up and walked out the room, tears springing up in the corners of her eyes. Lucas picked up the test and saw that it was negative. He sighed, upset as he was he knew Lindsey would be feeling it more keenly. He stood up and walked out the bedroom in pursuit of Lindsey. He realised 5 minutes later he had no idea where she had gone.

After he checked in every room in the house he came to the conclusion that she wasn't inside anymore. He walked to the sliding doors that led outside to the outside and saw Lindsey by the swimming pool, her feet dipping in the water looking deep in thought. He slowly slid the doors open and removing his socks he took a seat next to Lindsey his feet also dipping in the gently heated water.

"Why can't I get pregnant?" her unshed tears evident in her shaky voice.

"I don't know." Lucas replied, they had decided to try for children after their first year of marriage, but when nothing happened for over a year they decided to let nature take its course. "I know you were dead set against it last time I brought it up, but I think we should see a specialist so we can find out whether or not there is a problem, and if there is find out what that problem is."

"I think you're right." Lindsey replied, her voice trembling, "We need to know for sure either way."

Lucas put his arms around her shoulders and pulled her closer to him. Lindsey rested her head in his chest placing her arms around his waist.

"I'm scared about what they might say." She whispered into his chest.

"So am I." Lucas replied kissing the top of her head.

--NY--

"…Pregnant" Brooke finished. Rachel shook her head.

"No, I can't be pregnant" Rachel continued to shake her head and walked over to her purse pulling out more 3 more pregnancy tests and shoving one in Brookes hand. "Your going to take one too, I'm pretty sure the one I just took was faulty anyway." Rachel commanded. Now it was Brooke's turn to shake her head, it was going to be a long day.

Isabella had just finished writing on a whole bunch of cardboard boxes to help indicate which box was for what, it would help speed up the whole process not to mention help with the organisation side of things. Sam was thankful that Isabella seemed to be so organised as she had no idea what the young girl wanted, all she had to go on where the set of instructions she had given when they first started and now the completed boxes, although she kept referring back to her every couple minutes when she came across something she wasn't sure of, which was quite often. Sam had to admit Isabella seemed so much smarter and wiser than her years.

"Where does this go?" Sam asked holding up a porcelain statue, Isabella looked closely at the statue for a couple moments tears springing in her eyes. She pointed to a box, as she didn't trust herself to talk before quickly turning her head back around facing the mini library in the corner of the room, getting down to the task at hand. This library, unlike the main one a couple doors down, was only filled with autographed copies and first editions of Isabella's favourite books. John had started it when she first started showing signs she liked reading at the tender age of two, since then her love for literature had grown, just like her personal library. She lovingly placed each book in a small box reserved for her special books, there was no way she would part with a single one of them. Each book was special to Isabella because her father had given them to her with love, and a soft smile played on her lips as she remembered her dad when he would come home with a new book, his face was always excited because he knew how happy it would make her.

"You know Brooke is a really good person, she took me in when nobody wanted me and trust me I didn't make it easy for her. But look at us now, I can't imagine life without her." Sam said softly, coming up behind Isabella and making her jump. "Now I don't know if I would want to give my biological mum the time of day if she came up to me wanting a second chance, but maybe if you listened to why Brooke gave you up in the-"

Isabella cut Sam off. "Brooke gave me up, she doesn't deserve a second chance because she never wanted me in the first place. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, I either stay with the woman who never wanted me, or with the family who also never wanted me and pretty much hate me." Isabella said angrily, her eyes flashing, the injustice of it all getting to her. "The only people who ever wanted me or cared and loved me are gone and its all my fault." She stood up as she could feel the waterworks coming on, and Isabella hated crying in front of people it made her feel weak and vulnerable the two feelings she hated the most, so she would try to avoid it when possible. "You know if she cared she would be helping right now. You can finish here, I'm going to sort out my parents room." And with that she walked out the room.

"She would be helping you but Rachel needs some help with something" Sam yelled after her, even though she knew it was pointless she had to try for Brooke's sake. The woman had done more for her in the 4 years they knew each other then anybody had done Sams entire life and she felt not only gratitude, but a deep love for her because of it. Turning back to face the room after she watched Isabella leave it, she let out a deep sigh, Sam had no idea what to do, but she would try anyway. This wasn't what she had in mind when she had decided to come home for a fun weekend with her mum and friends.

---

As Isabella walked into her parents room she was overcome with emotions and sadness. Looking over at the dresser she could plainly see her mother sitting there doing her hair and make-up for some party, while her dad was walking around the bed doing up the buttons of his shirt before starting on the tie, while she sat on the bed talking animatedly to them both, her mother than turned around with a beautiful smile which lit up her whole face and arms outstretched, Isabella watched as she walked straight into her arms before the memory faded and she was suddenly confronted with an empty room devoid of any life. Keeping her tears in check she headed straight to the walk in closet that took up a whole wall of the room. Inside the closet she trailed past the clothes Isabella's hands gently touching the garments as she walked past. She stopped by her mothers favourite dress and she took it off the hanger and pulled it close to her nose and mouth, engulfing herself in her mothers scent which still lingered, finally letting herself break down and cry.

After about 10 minutes the tears stopped crying, as she cried them all. Isabella stood herself up and started sorting through the clothes, first her mothers then her fathers, after doing this for a while she came across a hidden box which had 'adoption info' scrawled across the top in a permanent marker, curious she took the box with her over to the bed. Taking the lid off she tipped the box upside down spilling the contents on the bed. There seemed to be two files, one on Brooke and one on her parents, se read through the files, there was nothing earth shattering except Brooke was 16 when she got pregnant. Well at least that explained some stuff. There were a few pictures of her parents with her in the hospital, a hospital wristband. She picked up a few of the pictures looking down it revealed a letter, on the front, slightly faded with big loopy handwriting it said, 'To my beautiful baby girl'. Intrigued Isabella went to open it.

"Isabella, we have to go now." Sam called out wandering through the hallway checking in different rooms, trying to find the young girl. Isabella jumped when she heard her name and quickly stuffed the letter into the pocket of her jeans, deciding she would read it later.

----

Brooke put down the pregnancy test she had taken to humour Rachel, not looking where she had placed it. Rachel was taking the last one, her expression had become unreadable when the second test had also turned out positive. Brooke looked down at her watch noticing that it had been three minutes she went and picked up the nearest pregnancy test.

"OH MY GOD!" She exclaimed, "Its positive, its freaking positive! I can't believe this, this is so the last thing I need in my life right now." Brooke started, getting more stressed by the second. Rachel walked over and took the test out her hand and placed another in it.

"You picked up the wrong one." She said simply before resuming her seat on the bathroom floor, staring at the last pregnancy test in the hopes it would reveal the result quicker. Brooke looked down at the result of the new pregnancy test- negative,

"Oh thank god" She breathed a sigh of relief, "Man that was a scary, I think I had a mini heart attack." Brooke said clutching her chest. Rachel said nothing but a few moments later threw the pregnancy test across the room, letting out a yell of 'argh' in frustration. Brooke took a seat next to Rachel on the floor, leaning her back on the bath tub in support.

"Why are you so upset at the idea of being pregnant?" Brooke asked.

"Because, I'll be the worlds worst mother. I would be so terrible at it, I don't want to put the poor kid through that." Rachel said tears forming in her eyes. "I mean look at me, I'm definitely no mother material"

"You'll be great and do you know why?" Brooke placed her arms around Rachels neck as Rachel shook her head, "Because your worried" Brooke looked at Rachels confused face, not understanding what she meant. "Your worried about being a terrible mum, so you''ll try your hardest and you'll go in the opposite direction and you will be great. And anyway I'll give you a small tip- do everything the opposite of what our parents did for us and you'll be fine… Look, no parent knows what they're doing the first time round and yet here we all are in this world. You'll just be joining the same ranks as so many others."

Rachel looked at Brooke a small smile forming through her tears, "You think I'll be ok?"

"I know so" Brooke replied, "When I first met you I thought you would be a terrible friend, and look at us now, look at how close we've become. You proved yourself to be the opposite of what I thought you would be so I don't see why you won't do exactly the same thing to yourself and prove yourself capable, slut"

Rachel kissed the side of Brookes head, "Thank you for that, and when did you become so good at the little pep speeches?"

"Oh Lucas has given enough to me, I started taking notes in the hopes I could give one to someone else oneday" Brooke joked as she awkwardly stood up, Rachel following suite grabbing the pregnancy tests as she walked to the door, wiping her eyes.

"Can you drop me off at work?" Rachel asked as they reached the door.

"Its Sunday?" Brooke replied confused

"Yeh but Millie called earlier when I was buying the tests, apparently there's some stuff I didn't manage to get done during the week and she needs me to do it." Rachel explained.

"Sure, if you really want, and don't forget to make an appoint with the OBGYN"

---

The two walked down the hall to the main room as Rachel put her hair up in a high ponytail ready to get down to business. When they walked to the living area, they just saw Sam toiling away, curious as to what happened to Isabella. Sam turned around and gave them the same set of instructions that she had received and explained them what each box was hoping for the best. And the 3 worked together in a comfortable silence until they had almost everything in boxes, then they decided it was time to go, tomorrow was a new day and they would start on a new room. Sam was delegated the task to find Isabella.

--TH--

Peyton knocked on the door gently, too gently she realised 5 minutes later when no-one came to open it. She was slightly nervous, this was the first time she was really going to hang out with Nathan, Haley, Jamie and Evie. She had never really spent that much time with the children, usually only visiting either in a business capacity or, for birthdays and only staying until the presents were opened before leaving again. She was starting afresh with the children and she was excited as well as nervous. She rang the bell, this time it only took a couple minutes before the door swung open and Nathan stood in front of her with a big grin on his face and a little girl on his back.

"Dad, hurry back I was in the middle of thrashing you" Peyton heard Jamie call as he moved through the house towards them.

"That's just wishful thinking, he isn't close to 'thrashing me' it'll take a few years" Nathan said making it seem like he was trying to reassure Peyton but it actually was himself.

Jamie walked up to the group by the door, and give a slightly shy smile. "Hello aunt Peyton." He said, then turning to his dad, "Did you run away from our basketball game because you were scared of getting beaten by a 10 year old?" his innocent demeanour betrayed by the smirk playing on his lips.

Peyton laughed out loud at the comment. "That kid maybe Haleys clone, but boy can he act like you." Nathan gave Peyton a slight glare, "I'm going to go find Haley" She said pointing her thumbs to the living room, leaving the three Scotts to follow her.

---

Peyton was sitting in the living room a couple minutes later in a large armchair, watching Nathan drop Evie from his back on to the couch before being dragged back outside by Jamie to finish off their game of basketball. She felt a small twinge of jealousy at the life Nathan and Haley had built for themselves. They were successful and still managed to find time for eachother and their children and build a home filled with love. What did she have to show for the last four years of her life? Sure she had built her record label into one of the most successful around so that it rivalled EMI and Sony BMG, but her personal life had been put on the backburner as a result. She hadn't had a boyfriend or even tried to look for love, she just had one long string of one night stands avoiding the whole relationship scene. And now she wished she hadn't, she wished she had taken that step in trying to rebuild her personal life so she could fall in love again. If she had maybe she wouldn't be here feeling that the last few years of her life had been a waste.

"Maybe I just wasn't ready to let go." She whispered quietly to herself as she felt something move onto her lap.

"Let go of what Aunt Peyton?" Peyton heard a little voice ask, and she looked down to see Evie ha climbed into her lap and was looking up at her with her big baby blues, her eyes questioning.

"Well I had a friend a long time ago and well… we stopped being 'friends' and I didn't want to stop but he did. I just needed to let him go and be happy that he was happy but I didn't want to because I was scared." Peyton looked down at the little girl, her little face filled with understanding.

"That's like my teddy bear Bobby." Evie replied looking up at Peyton, her eyes narrowed in confusion, not sure how her relationship with Lucas was anything like Evie's teddy bear. "Bobby got all old and worn and mommy said I had to get rid of him but I loved bobby too much to want him to go, who else would keep me company while I sleep and protect me from the monsters? I didn't want to let him go but then his eye popped out and his arm fell off so mommy said that it was final and she took him away, and I was really sad but I got a brand new teddy and he's really soft and I love him loads now too."

Peyton let out a small little laugh. "It is exactly like that" causing Evie's face to break out in a large grin that took over her whole face.

"Yay, can we play princesses?" Evie waited for Peyton to nod before she climbed down from Peytons lap and ran to the door. "I'll go get the dresses and makeup and crown, you have to stay here." She informed and instructed.

A couple moments Haley walked in carrying a tray with homemade lemonade and cookies, indicating to Peyton to follow her outside, which she did. Haley then placed the tray on a large white decorative table outside, before seating herself in the seat, looking at the two main men in her life.

"Go Jamie, make your mama proud." Haley called over at the guys, making Peyton laugh.

"Go Jamie, you can beat Nathan." Peyton laughed.

"Hey wheres my love? You guys used to be my cheerleaders." Nathan said turning to them and laughing at Haley sticking out her tongue. During the distraction, Jamie knocked the ball out of his hands and threw it up into the net.

"That's the game to me."

"That's not fair, and anyway I let you win." Nathan said turning to Jamie, doing a perfect impression of a petulant child.

This made Haley and Peyton laugh, Jamie took no notice and sat down next to Peyton grabbing a grab a glass of lemonade and a cookie. Nathan joining them a moment later dropped heavily into a seat next to Haley, with a pout on his face. Clearly feigning upset. Haley leaned in and kissed his cheek before wiping off the lipstick.

"You got a bit more making up to do than that." Nathan replied turning his head to face Haley, a glint in his eye and a smirk on his face.

Jamie and Peyton turned to eachother pulling the same disgusted face, before turning back to see that Nathan had picked Haley up and was walking to the pool before dropping her in with a big splash. Nathan let out a big laugh, but the next moment he was in the water as Haley had grabbed hold of his leg and pulled him in. Everyone was now laughing and the nervousness Peyton had felt earlier had completely diminished and for the first time since her arrival she actually felt like she was back at home. This is what she was missing.

--NY--

Brooke opened the apartment door and threw her keys in the bowl that sat on a wooden desk of draws nearby. Isabella, with her earphones in place blasting music in her ears walked straight to the room which she was staying in, without a look back. Brooke let out a frustrated sigh, while Sam took hold of her hand giving it a little squeeze, letting her know she was there for her and Brooke gave her a grateful smile as a reward. They scene was broken a couple moments later when Cooper popped his head round the kitchen door looking slightly anxious.

"Where's Rachel?" He asked walking from the kitchen into the hallway.

"Millie called, she had some stuff to do at work." Brooke replied, looking Cooper up and down. He was standing in an apron flour in his hair and dough on his face. "I'm almost scared to ask what you're up to"

"Huh?" Cooper said distractedly before looking down at himself and realising what Brooke was on about. "Oooh yeh I'm making a surprise for Rachel, you sure she's at work?"

"Yes, I dropped her off there myself." Brooke laughed, "Do you want some help with your 'surprise'"

Cooper nodded enthusiastically, which led Sam to join in with Brookes laughter, before turning and heading back into the kitchen Brooke quickly following suite. Sam walked to the room she was currently sharing with Isabella and opened the door, the young girl looked startled and stuffed something under the duvet. Sam looked at her wondering what it was she was hiding but knowing better to ask stood in the doorway of the room.

"Cooper is organising some big romantic surprise for Rachel, I was wondering if you wanted to come help. We would really appreciate it." Sam explained what was happening before looking at the young girl, hoping she would agree.

"Mmm, maybe later." was the distracted reply. Sam walked out from the doorway closed the door behind her before she let out a large sigh of disappointment before joining Cooper and Brooke in the kitchen. She hoped for Brookes sake that Isabella would start to accept the situation sooner then later, although she knew better than anyone how hard it would be for her.

---

Isabella was glad when she heard the door being shut, she gingerly retrieved the letter she had unceremoniously stuffed under the covers. She looked down at the slightly crumpled letter which she was now holding in her hands. Squeezing her eyes tight she debated whether or not to read. After about 10 minutes of switching between staring at the letter and shutting her eyes pretending it didn't exist, Isabella finally took the plunge. Using her little finger she undid the top part of the envelope and pulled the letter out.

My Beautiful baby

Isabella closed her eyes and took a deep breath in, willing herself to go on.

If you are reading this letter it means your mother and Father have told you about me or you found out. Either way it doesn't really matter does it? It won't stop you having questions, and it won't make it any easier hearing the answers.

I'll start at the very beginning, I just turned 17 and I'm in my Junior year, I'm the classic cliché of the cheerleader in trouble. Despite all this I want you, with all my heart and soul. I want to be woken up by the sound of you crying and be the one to feed you and look after you when you're sick, I want to be there to see you take your first steps and hear your first words. I want to do everything and be there for everything.

And you know sometimes I dream that you your father and I live in a beautiful little house, and its filled with so much laughter and love that you could drown in it. But after every night I have this dream the inevitable happens and I wake up and realise that it is exactly that- a dream. And I know that I should try and fight harder to make the dream a reality, but the truth is your father, well he hurt me so bad and the pain that I feel when I think of him and what happened, well it reminds me that we are High School students. We're selfish and immature, we hurt each other and take actions without thinking of the consequences, this isn't an environment to bring a child up in. I just don't believe that I could ever offer you the stability and the attention you deserve. I know I could love you because I already do, more than words could ever describe, but you can't live on love alone you deserve soo much more. You will always be my beautiful baby and you deserve to be happy and I don't think I could ever make you happy, not in the place I am in right now, maybe if I had you in 10 yrs I would be able to give you everything you wanted and needed as well as extra.

In the end, all I want is for you to be happy even if that means I have to give you up. Because that is all I want in this life, for you to be happy even if it means I have to give up my happiness, you deserve it more than I do.

I don't know if this letter answers any questions you had, but I hope you understand where I am coming from and why I did what I did. I just pray you don't hate me- trust me I'm doing that enough for the both of us.

Brooke Davis (your mom)

Isabella looked at the letter for a minute, trying to process what she just read. After a couple minutes of just staring she re-read the letter a couple more times before letting out a frustrated moan. Last week she was happy, both her parents were alive and despite the rest of her 'family' not accepting her she never felt like she missed anything. Her parents loved her more than life itself she knew that, that's why she missed them so much. Then that horrible drunk lorry driver took them away from her and now she had to live with the woman who didn't want her… but it turns out she did… but did she?

'She gave me away she obviously didn't want me that much' Isabella thought angrily to herself. Although, the circumstances did seem stacked against Brooke, and if she hadn't given her up then she wouldn't have had her parents and she wouldn't give up a single moment of their time together. But still, she hadn't tried hard enough to keep her… Isabella's mind was running riot with confusing thoughts which despite her best efforts Isabella was having difficulty trying to comprehend. In the end she decided she wasn't actually angry at Brooke she was angry at the lorry driver who took her parents away from her, and Brooke was the closest person she could take the anger out on. Isabella was going to let go of all the anger inside her so she could move on properly with her life.

Clutching her teddy bear close to her, she lay on her bed for about an hour just thinking about how much her life had changed in just a matter of a few days, and how much more it was going to change. She re-read the letter a few more times, letting the words wash over her, either way Brooke did love her and as a result Isabella decided that she would like to get to know her and find out as much as she could about her father. She was really very curious as what it was he had done that upset Brooke so much. Her lids became more and more heavy and before long her eyes closed chut and she drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

---

Brooke threw the last of the ruby red rose petals on Rachel and Coopers bed before joining them in the kitchen, as she walked through the dining room she saw that Cooper and Sam were sitting by the table laughing. The whole apartment had been decorated according to Coopers instructions to make it look as romantic as possible, so candles were lit in what felt like every room, but it was just their bedroom, the living room and the dining area, the same with the rose petals and Cooper had gone all out on the dinner which was now keeping warm in the oven.

"Finished" Brooke said sitting down on a chair by Cooper.

"And the food is done." Cooper said looking down at his watch. "She should be here any minute." As soon as the words had left his mouth the sound of keys in the lock could be heard. Making Cooper jump up and practically run to the door.

"Tell us how it goes." Sam and Brooke shouted after him as they walked slowly to Isabella's room.

Just as the reached the door to turn the knob they heard Cooper exclaim disappointedly "Awww man its just you."

"Wow, that's a real ego boost." Julian sarcastically replied, then noticing the apartment added, "Whats happening here?" Brooke happy to see him again flew into his open arms making Julian smirk. "Happy to see me?"

"You betcha sorry ass I am." Brooke laughed in his ear. "Why do you have to go back to LA tonight? Can't you stay one more night? For me…?"

"I can't baby, I'm sorry but I'll make up for it when I return ok?"

"That will have to do."

Cooper and Sam made gagging noises which made both Brooke and Julian laugh. Julian then looked around the hallway again clearly confused as to what was going on.

"Cooper has organised a romantic surprise for Rachel." Sam explained with a wink.

"Aww a surprise for me, baby you shouldn't have, then again you should" Cooper turned to see Rachel standing in the doorway, in all the excitement they had forgotten to close the door.

Brookes face quickly darted to Coopers face feeling terrible that his surprise had been ruined. His face said everything, he was more than disappointed, he looked devastated. Brooke quickly whisked Julian and Sam to her room, before quietly walking to Isabella's with Sam, leaving Julian to quickly pack his bag.

She knocked on the door and waited for a response, when nothing came she opened the door and saw the young girl asleep on the bed, a teddy bear being hugged close to her chest and a letter in her hands. She walked over to the side of the bed and gently stroked her arm until she woke up.

"Heey sleeping beauty, we're going to drop off Julian at the airport. Your coming with, the romantic mood will be ruined if they know theres someone else in the apartment." Isabella sleepily nodded her understanding and as Brooke left the room she slowly got up, she sat on the bed watching Sam pack her few belongings in a bag and when Sam left the room she followed suite.

All four of them put on their shoes and coats, and left the apartment as quickly and as quietly as they could to leave Cooper and Rachel alone. In the lobby of the apartment building Sam parted ways. Giving Isabella a hug and Brooke and Julian a big hug and kiss.

"I'll see you soon mom, and don't worry I'll drive safe and study hard." A comment which made Julian laugh and Brooke frown slightly, then she was gone and the three of them walked towards the garage and stepped into the large ford escalade that Brooke owned, the silence in the car almost overwhelming as they drove to Newark airport.

---

Rachel sat there, she had just finished eating the Crème Brulee that Cooper had made for desert, her eyes fixed on Cooper wondering what had brought on this sudden romantic gesture. Cooper, despite the earlier hiccup had gotten back into the mood, and was returning to the dining area with two cups of coffee.

Once he was seated opposite Rachel he took her hands into his, raising her eyebrow Rachel stayed silent and waited for him to continue.

"We've been dating for a while now" Cooper stated, he was silent waiting for a reaction from Rachel but when none came he continued. "Your one of a kind, I've been on a few dates in my time and have had a few relationships and none of the women could ever compare to you. You're sexy, feisty, loyal and one of a kind. You're a very special to me-"

"I know all of this, hell I see it every time I look in a mirror." Rachel joked.

"I'm trying to be serious here Rach. What I'm trying to say is…" There was a short pause while Cooper left his chair and got down on one knee, fishing around in his pocket he pulled out a small velvet box. Opening it, it revealed a delicate silver banded ring, in the middle was a large almost blue diamond in the middle with three smaller diamonds in a triangular shape on either side. "Will you marry me?"

"I'm pregnant" Rachel blurted out.

"Is that a yes or a no?"

"Its I'm pregnant, I just found out today." Rachel shut her eyes. "Do you still want to marry me?"

Cooper looked at Rachels tense face slightly confused "Why isn't it mine?"

"No, it is yours of course its yours its just…" Rachel looked at Coopers face which still held a confused expression "All I am is my hot body, the baby will make me fat and you won't want me any more and I feel really pathetic because I've never felt like this before. God I must be pregnant because these hormones are every where."

"Listen to me when I say this, a baby will be the best thing to ever happen to us. You will make a great mother and we'll be a great family so don't be worried. I've seen you with Jamie and Evie, you have those mother instincts everyone talks about. And as for me leaving you? That's never going to happen baby so don't worry." Cooper looked at Rachels face which had previously showed fear now held joy. "Now please give me an answer my knee is killing me." Making Rachel laugh.

"Of course I'll marry you. Now get up so you can give me a kiss idiot." Rachel laughed as Cooper got up off his knee and scooped her in his arms, capturing her mouth in a deep kiss.

A/N: Sorry this chapter isn't the best, I pretty much rushed to get it out before I go away on holiday this afternoon, so its actually shorter than I planned, but the bits that I couldn't put in here due to time restrictions will find its place in the next chapter. I am soooo sorry about the delay. After this I promise the updates will be more frequent. I've just been stressed lately with all kinds of stuff so I'm sorry. People who are reading I promise to update 'when did your heart go missing' the moment I come back from holiday. I'm sorry about all the mistakes that are probably in this chapter (I'm not a big fan of grammatical mistakes) but I'm away for over two weeks so it would mean there would be an even longer before the chapter came out. Sorry if the chapter has suffered)

The feedback for the last chapter was immense so thanks for that, I like to thank everyone who made the story a favourite/ put it on alert, and all those who reviewed. You're the reason I write.

(I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I would really love it if I could get over 20 reviews for this chapter)
