Three hours later Brooke and Haley emerged from Koi fully waxed, plucked, and polished. Haley got her hair cut into fashionable layers with thick bangs that made her brown eyes pop! Brooke got her hair blown out, and they looked FABULOUS! Now all they had to do was get dressed.
At 7:55 the two girls stepped out of the hotels elevator looking like celebrities. They spotted Nathan, Jamie, Lucas and an un-recognizable guy at the front of the lobby. They somewhat strutted to the guys—who looked beyond surprised at how good the girls looked. They guy who was standing with them turned around revealing his identity.
"Tim!" Brooke squealed.
"Oh, yeah, look who I found." Nathan said and hitched a thumb toward Tim.
Brooke wrapped her arms around him in a friendly hug. "Where the hell have you been?" She demanded with a sparkle in her eyes.
"Man, I feel like this is a Tree Hill High reunion, first Rachel now Tim. Who are we going to see next?" Lucas joked wrapping his arm around Brooke's thin waist and whispering dirty things in her ear..
"Oh man you guys saw Rachel, too?" Tim said smiling, "she is hot as hell."
"I agree Rachel is 'hot as hell'" Jamie said nodding.
Haley scowled. Nathan laughed.
"you still didn't answer my question," Brooke said arms over her chest, "what brings you to Vegas?"
"The guys from my fraternity decided we should take a road trip to Vegas, so here I am!" Time said.
"That is so typical Tim," Brooke said, "you joined a frat? Oh my God! That's priceless!"
Tim ignored the dig and lightly punched Nathan on the arm, "you missed your Tim-time, didn't you?"
Nathan smiled and let out a chuckle, "Of course Tim, I missed our Tim-time." He said and rolled his eyes.
"Come on just admit it, you know you did! We had some good Tim-time over the years like that time we did the treasure hunt thing." Tim raved.
No everyone laughed because they knew Tim got his back waxed that night and then had to dress up like a girl scout.
"Oh that was some night." Nathan reminisced.
"Maybe for you guys but I got hit with a baseball and I almost had to eat those disgusting deviled eggs. Ew!" Haley said.
Everyone laughed again.
"Oh yeah I almost forgot," Nathan said, "I won 50,000 dollars."
Haley's jaw dropped and the world stopped, "YOU WHAT?!?!?"
"I. won. fifty. thousand. dollars." He repeated slowly.
"Oh my God!" Haley screamed and jumped into his arms.
Nathan kissed her, "Jamie picked out the lucky slot machine, didn't you buddy?"
"I did. I did." Jamie confirmed, nodding.
"Ah!" Haley yelled happily, picked up her son and kissed him.
Brooke seemed like she didn't care so she said, "can we get this moving Rain awaits."
"Okay. Come on, Jamie, Momma is going to take you to ZOO."
"Oh like with animals?" Jamie asked taking his mom's hand.
"Not quite, sweetie." Haley said, "it's like a day care. You're going to have so much fun!"
"Okay," Jamie nodded.
ZOO was located in the hotel so it was really convenient for them. Haley opened the door and both she and Jamie's eyes grew wide. The place was huge and had two floors. It was all green with a waterfall in the back. There were kiddie go-karts, a painting room, legos and every toy ever imaginable. Haley checked Jamie in and kissed both his cheeks before finally leaving.
When Haley got back to the group she said to Brooke, "your right that place is ah-mazing. Jamie looked like he did on Christmas morning!" Haley thrilled.
Brooke smiled, "I'm glad you guy like it. See never doubt Brooke Davis' abilities."
They left the Palms and headed for Rain. They got outside where a long line was waiting. Brooke walked right up to the bouncer, "Brooke Davis plus 4." She said clearly and confidently.
Even though on the list it only said Brooke Davis plus 3 the young bouncer smiled at her and let them all in.
"did I tell you you're my hero?" Tim asked Brooke.
"No but I know I am." Brooke winked.
Rain was huge and crowded with people dancing, drinking, or eating.
"Let's dance." She whispered huskily into Lucas' ear and pulled him onto the dance floor.
They slowly danced but then the song changed to a fast beat club mix. Brooke turned around, and grinded up on Lucas. He laughed and they found a rhythm together.
After a good five songs they needed a breather, "Come on let's get a drink." Lucas said and they walked hand in hand toward the nearest bar.
"what's your poison?" The bartender asked.
Brooke was right about to order a cosmopolitan, her favorite, but then remembered about the baby. Ugh…just great. "I'll have a bottle of water." Brooke said.
"Brooke Davis, party girl having a bottle of water?" The bartender asked but got her a bottle of water anyway.
"Just trying to keep in control tonight," She said with a wink. Lucas ordered a beer and was about to lead them to an open booth but Brooke quickly said, "Where are you going? The VIP lounge is awaiting us."
Off to the VIP lounge they went.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
At two in the morning they left Rain, Tim and Nathan were kind of drunk but everyone else was fine.
"I got to get Jamie." Haley said and left the group in the lobby.
She walked into ZOO and signed Jamie out. A minute later Jamie was walking toward her. Holding Rachel's hand!
"Momma! Momma! Look what I drew." It was a picture of two stick figures one a boy with blond hair the other a girl with red hair and little heart in the middle. "It's me and Rachel!"
Haley stood with her hands on her hips eyeing Rachel.
"I didn't know you worked here." Haley said challengingly.
"yep," Rachel said innocently, "boutique manager by day, nanny by night. Exciting life isn't it?"
"Oh yeah very exciting." Haley said sarcastically, sizing her up.
"Momma I drew you a picture too." Jamie said and handed her a piece of paper, "it's you playing the piano!"
Haley looked at the picture smiling at it, "aw thanks cutie!"
"Your welcome, Momma." Jamie said, "do you think I can come back here and hang out with Rachel tomorrow night too?"
"I don't know, Jim-Jam," Haley said, jealous, "it depends on what we're doing."
"Okay," Jamie said hopefully.
"Come on let's go." Haley said, she couldn't wait to get out of there and talk to somebody.
"Bye Rachel," Jamie said and gave her a huge hug.
Rachel kissed him on the cheek and he looked like he was struck by cupids arrow.
Haley meanwhile stood her ground and stared at the slutty red-head in front of her.
Haley walked out of there so fast Jamie could barely keep up. She pressed the button for the elevator and after two minutes one arrived. She picked up a tired looking Jamie and kissed his forehead.
"Tell Momma, you love her." Haley whispered.
"Of course I love you, Momma." He said wrapping his arms around her tighter and kissed her cheek.
Haley quietly knocked on the door and Brooke opened it already in her pajamas—or Brooke's version of pajamas; sexy silky boy shorts and a lacy cami.
Haley put Jamie in bed and gently tucked him in. She changed into her version of pajamas— a comfy sweatshirt and boxer shorts. Then left the room and walked into the lounge where Brooke was sitting with a pint of Ben & Jerry's chocolate fudge ice cream. Haley plopped down next to her and rested her head against Brooke's shoulder.
"What's wrong Tutor-wife?" Brooke asked looking at one of her best friends.
"Rachel works at ZOO." Haley began, "and Jamie really likes her. I mean I think he has a crush on her! Can you believe that? My son has a crush on a slut!"
"It's might be the first but it wont be the last." Brooke replied with a smirk, "it seems to me that you're jealous."
"Me? Jealous?" Haley said incredulous, "puh-lease! I am not!"
Brooke laughed, "you so are!"
"Am not!" Haley insisted.
"Are too!" Brooke insisted back.
There was a moment or two of silence before Haley said, "okay maybe a little."
Brooke dropped the act and said, "Haley people are going to come in and out of Jamie's life, and he's going to have one crush after another. But one person who is going to be there constantly in his life is you! You're his mother, Hales. Nothing in this world is going to change that." Brooke said wrapping a thin arm around Haley, "especially not a little crush on an adult."
"Your right. Completely right! I shouldn't be jealous at all, I'm his mother!" Haley said confidently, "I think I was just jealous because I really don't like Rachel."
"Sweetie, she's not as bad as she seems. She's been through a lot, under the bitchy attitude and the blasé act she's a really kind person and a good friend." Brooke said softly.
"I think she's a bad person, Brooke. I'm sorry that's just my opinion." Haley said shaking her head.
"She stole the test to be a good friend to me! You know that, Hales. It was a long time ago, anyway." Brooke said and gently squeezed Haley's shoulders.
More silence enveloped the two girls, all of a sudden they hear footsteps. They turn around to see Tim wearing only a pair of boxers walk to the mini fridge.
"Um…Tim?" Brooke asked.
Tim lazily looked at her a dazed, distant expression on his face. He was no doubt drunk, "oh hey Brookie! How ya doin'?" He slurred.
The girls laughed, releasing the weight that had come with the Rachel conversation.
"Tim go to sleep." Brooke said in what she thought was a firm motherly voice.
"Just one more beer." He mumbled.
"I don't think so big guy," Brooke said getting off the couch, "you're one beer away from alcohol poisoning. Come on." She grabbed Tim's forearm and pulled him to the empty bedroom and pushed him onto the twin bed.
"Now go to sleep, Tim" She commended, and he did just that.
Brooke rolled her eyes at another typical Tim moment.
"Are you coming to bed?" Lucas called to her suggestively.
"You bet!" Brooke called back walking toward their room, "Good night, Haley"
"Good night, Brooke."

Peyton pulled her convertible into a parking spot in front of The Buckley Day School for Girls and Boys, where she was to pick up Jenny from her last day of kindergarten. Jenny's stepping up to first grade ceremony was yesterday and today was just a farewell party. At first Peyton and Jake weren't very excited about the fact that their—his— daughter was going to be attending an elite day school. They were down to earth people they didn't care if Jenny rubbed shoulders with Brangelina's kids or any other celebrities children, they simply weren't like that. But after looking at other schools in the L.A neighborhood and being encouraged by Peyton's record label assistant to enroll her into the school they decided to give it a shot. Finally they gave up and now Jenny was a student at the elite school and surprisingly she LOVED it. She learned how to speak in three different languages, took an art class, which she had a real talent for just like Peyton, learned yoga, karate, and tai kwon do, in P.E, and started to learn how to play the piano. On top of that she made a bunch of new friends who had nice down to earth parents –aside from being rich and famous.
She and Jake truly thought this was the best thing they could've done for her. Peyton stepped out of the car and waked up to the school, her black leather ankle boots clacking against the stone pavement.
She pushed open the heavy wooden doors signed in at the front desk—for security purposes. What do you expect when children of the worlds most powerful people were inside these very walls? Then walked down the hall to Miss. Hanley's kindergarten class.
She peaked into the classroom, immediately spotting the beautiful blonde little girl. If you didn't know you would've thought that Peyton truly was her biological mother, rather then her step-mom. But Jenny thought she was her mom and Peyton acted as if Jenny was truly her daughter, so it didn't really matter. Realizing other parents were in the classroom, Peyton silently slipped in. Jenny spotter her immediately and waved excitedly at her, Peyton winked in reply.
"...I hope all of you enjoyed your year with me. And I know you will enjoy your remaining years here at Buckley. Feel free to visit me next year when you all are first-graders, and most of all have a great summer!" Miss. Hanley concluded, having graduated from Yale two years ago she was the youngest teacher at Buckley.
The parents clapped and the kids got out of their mini desks and walked to their parents. Manners were a big subject at Buckley.
"Mommy!" The tiny blonde said hugging Peyton.
"Hey there, big girl!" Peyton said, "are you sad to be leaving Miss. Hanley?"
"Not really, she was a nice teacher. But, I want to meet new teachers!" Jenny said.
Peyton smiled. Jenny was the type of kid who loved trying new things. She was a free-spirit so to put it. She didn't judge people and she made friends very easily. She was the most perfect kid a parent could ask for.
They got in Peyton's convertible and she made sure Jenny was buckled in tightly.
"Where to?" Peyton asked, earning a giggle from the backseat.
"Anywhere?" Jenny asked raising an eyebrow and crossing her arms over her tiny chest, a gesture that she's seen Peyton do WAY to many times.
"That's right, today is your day." Peyton said.
"Can we go to in-and-out Burger?" Jenny asked cautiously.
"If that's what you want, then sure." Peyton replied looking at her in the mirror.
In-and-Out Burger is a famous burger place in L.A.
"yep that's what I want. Then can we maybe go shopping for a new bathing suit for Justin's party?" Jenny asked.
"Of course! Daddy is going to meet us later for dinner." Peyton informed her.
"Okay, Mommy." Jenny said.
Peyton pulled into the In-and-Out parking lot.
"Can we eat in the car?" Jenny asked.
For some strange reason she always loved eating inside the car, rather than going inside the place. Since it was 'her day' Peyton agreed as long as she promised to not make a mess.
Pulling out of the parking space she went through the drive-through and ordered burgers, fries, and sodas for the two of them. Peyton pulled down the roof and the hot Los Angeles sun beamed down on them. Taking the food from the lady she handed the bags to Jenny, whom gently took them out of the bag and picked out Peyton's food.
"Here, Mommy." Jenny said handing Peyton fries and a burger.
"Thanks, baby." Peyton replied taking the food from her tiny hands.
They ate as she drove, heading for the Beverly Hills mall. The mall was packed, but lucky for them a person in a close parking spot was pulling out right when Peyton was passing by. She pulled in and they got out of the car, walking hand and hand into the crowded mall.
"What store do you want to go to?" Peyton asked kindly.
"Anywhere is fine with me." Jenny said then self-consciously added, "Megan got a really pretty one from J.Crew."
"Okay let's try there first." Peyton decided and they strolled to the store,
Pastel and brightly colored clothing surrounded them as they walked into J.Crew.
Jenny pointed to a lime green bikini with tiny sequins bordering it, "I like this one!" She announced.
Peyton smiled, she liked it too. "Okay then lets try it on!"
She showed Jenny into an empty changing room and patiently waited outside.
The door slowly squeaked open and out walked Jenny looking gorgeous in the bikini.
"Do you love it, Mommy?" Jenny asked spinning around.
"YES!" Peyton said, "I LOVE it!"
Jenny's smile was infectious and before Peyton knew it she was smiling too. They paid for the bikini and walked out smiling from ear to ear.

Brooke woke up the next morning to the smell of roses. She slowly opened up her eyes and noticed a beautiful blood red rose on the pillow beside her. She smiled, beside the flower was a note in Lucas' adorable handwriting:
Good morning Pretty girl,
Meet me at Venice at 7.
Just a little something special
for our last night here in Vegas.
I love you,
Lucas
Aw…. Brooke thought, Lucas is the cutest thing I've ever seen! Feeling invincible Brooke got out of bed, slipped into a black bikini, threw her short chestnut locks into a high ponytail and slid a pair of oversize Dior sunglasses on the bridge of her nose. Unfortunately, there was another note waiting for Brooke tapped to the door.
This one read:
B,
Nathan and I decided to walk around the strip
I talked to Luke and he said that you weren't
busy until 7… so can u babysit Jamie if you can't
that's okay just call me up. Oh and Tim
H
Brooke laughed. Jamie and Tim? How could I ever handle them? Brooke thought sarcastically. She walked out of the room and peaked into the extra bedroom. Tim was sleeping face down on the bed still clad in only a pair of red-checkered boxers. She laughed then walked to Nathan and Haley's bedroom where she didn't see anything. Where's Jamie? Brooke thought. There was a light pat on the back of her leg, she turned around and saw Jamie staring up at her.
"Hi Auntie Brooke! Mommy said that we could spend the day together!" He said excitedly.
"That's right Jim-bug, want to go to the pool?" Brooke asked already knowing the answer by the look on his face.
"YES!!!!!!!" Jamie yelled jumping around and shaking his butt.
"Okay go grab your bathing suit, sunglasses, sun tan lotion, and a hat." Brooke instructed, "I'll time you. Ready? Go!"
Jamie ran into his room "1…2….3….4….5…6….7…8"
Jamie ran back out of the room dragging a beach bag the size of him.
Brooke laughed at the funny site, "here let, Auntie Brooke help you." She said picking up the beach bag and taking out all the things she asked for.
"Here put this on." She instructed handing him a bathing suit.
Jamie obeyed and in a matter of minutes they were walking out the door heading for the pool.
The pool area was absolutely breathtaking. The pool was large and crystal clear with a huge waterfall and many alcoves, it didn't even look like a pool. There were no steps it was like waking into the ocean it just kept getting deeper and deeper. Behind and through many trees was a slide that ended at the deeper side of the pool. Lounge chairs and big shady umbrellas surrounded it.
Brooke thought about Tim who was alone in the hotel room, with a hangover to end all hangovers. At first she felt a little guilty about leaving him so she left him a bottle of water, two Tylenols and a note explaining that they were down at the pool and if he felt up to it, to come and meet them.
"Let's go! Let's go! Hurry. Auntie Brooke, Hurry!" Jamie said pulling her toward the pool.
"Do you know who you're pulling?" Brooke teased playfully, "Brooke Davis."
Jamie nodded, "Brooke Penelope Davis!" He said.
Brooke laughed, something about Jamie made her laugh all the time. He was just so freakin' adorable! She placed her beach bag and towels on two lounge chairs; one for her and one for Jamie.
"Come 'ere, big guy," Brooke said pulling out the baby sun tan lotion and started lathering it on Jamie's back, shoulders, neck, stomach, arms, face and legs.
Jamie stood there patiently waiting for it to be done. He didn't really like putting sun tan lotion on, But really who does? I mean unless you have a boyfriend to rub it on you its practically pointless, in Brooke's opinion anyway.
"okay all done, are you ready to go in the pool?" She asked.
"Yes!" Jamie replied eagerly, slipping on his water wings and they headed to the beginning of the pool.
"Wanna go down the slide?" Brooke asked daringly.
"Sure" Jamie replied.
They waked up the staircase that was hidden by trees and plants, leading them to the top of the slide. The line wasn't too long about 5 or 6 people were in front of them, and considering the size of the hotel and the large amount of people occupying the pool area it wasn't bad at all.
A little boy about Jamie's age, and what Broke guessed to be his mother, stood in back of them. Jamie smiled at the boy before turning around and starting a conversation with Brooke.
"Is this slide scary?" He asked.
"No not at all, I'm going to go down first and I'll meet you at the bottom, sound good?" Brooke asked.
Jamie nodded.
The line inched forward little by little and before they knew it they were next. Jamie tripped slightly over a tiny rock, "Hey watch it!" The boy behind them said.
Jamie glared at him and he kid pushed him. Brooke helped Jamie up making sure he was okay before narrowing her eyes at the kid and his mother behind them.
"Excuse me, you son, just pushed him." Brooke snapped.
"I didn't see anything," The woman replied smiling like she really did see something.
"I think you did," Brooke spat, "and I think that little thing should apologize to him."
"There's nothing to apologize for," The woman replied, keeping up the I–don't-know-what's-going-on act.
"Oh YES there is," Brooke said icily, "you know damn well what happened, do you know who I am?" She demanded.
The woman didn't answer so she continued, "I am Broke Davis!"
"Brooke Penelope Davis." Jamie added smiling up at his godmother.
"And this, this is my godson Jamie," Brooke said, "the kid that your little monster pushed! And the kid whom deserves an apology."
The woman recognized Brooke, "I am so sorry Miss. Davis! Danny apologize to that sweet little angel"
Danny glared at his mother like she was crazy, she shot him a withering glance so he mumbled, "I'm sorry."
"That's okay. Jamie said shrugging.
"Thank you," Broke said smiling fakely, "I'm glad we had a chance to meet."
Brooke sat on the water slide and slid down. The slide twisted and turned it was actually pretty nice, she hit the water with a light splash and waited for Jamie to come down. A moment later Jamie hit the water too and swam awkwardly over to Brooke.
"That was….AWESOME!!!!!" Jamie shouted smiling wide.
"I'm glad you liked it." Brooke said smiling and lightly splashing water at him.
He splashed water back they had a splash fight until a lifeguard blew a whistle and told them to stop. They laughed in the lifeguards face but still stopped. Brooke felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and gripped onto the ledge of the pool.
"Auntie Brooke are you okay?" Jamie asked concerned.
"Of course, Jim-Jam. Just the baby wanting to remind me it was there." Brooke lied.
Thankfully Jamie said, "I'm hungry can we get something to eat?"
"Of course!" They slowly swam out of the pool and headed to their lounge chairs where they found Tim occupying one. He wore a white Abercrombie & Fitch T- shirt, swim trunks and dark sunglasses. Everyone knows the sun is not a good friend to a hangover.
"Someone ordered some Tim-time." Tim said smiling. It was like he didn't have a hangover at all.
"Sorry I didn't order that," Brooke said jokingly and looking over at Jamie, "did you?"
Jamie shook his head.
"Ha ha. Very funny, the Tim-ster wants to play." Tim said stretching his arms and putting them behind his head.
Brooke smiled, "we were just about to order some food, want to join?"
"Tim never passes up an opportunity to eat." He replied.
"Okay, one stop talking about yourself in the third person. Two what do you want?" Brooke asked sharply a tiny ache in her stomach.
"A steak! And lobster." Tim replied.
"I don't think so, big guy. I'm going to ask you again, what do you want?" Brooke repeated.
"shrimp cocktail." He said.
Brooke gave up, "okay."
A waiter approached them and Brooke gave in her order.
"So where's the married couple and Lucas?" Tim asked.
"The married couple in walking around Vegas and Lucas is planning a surprise for me." Brooke said smiling.
"nice." Tim replied.
Very nice indeed.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Brooke stepped into the warm night air a limo waiting for her. She got in without a word and the limo toke off driving her to Venice, a famous Italian themed hotel with a gondola.
The limo halted to a stop in front of the sprawling hotel and Brooke swung one stiletto clad foot out the door then the other. A light breeze made her, Royal purple empire waist knee-length, dress ripple. Brooke smiled and strutted into the place basking in the attention of many admirers. Lucas stood in the middle of the crowded place a single red rose in his hand. Brooke's smile widened and she practically floated to Lucas.
"Wow," He breathed, "you look gorgeous."
"Thanks," Brooke whispered, "you don't look half-bad yourself."
Lucas chuckled, "come on." He murmured taking her by the hand.
Moments later she found herself sitting in a gondola looking at Lucas' nice blue eyes. The Italian man rowing the boat started to sing and Brooke felt herself swaying slightly to the music.
"How was your day?" Lucas asked.
"Great." Brooke smiled, "Jamie. Tim and I hung out at the pool."
After a long silence she said, "This is a nice little surprise."
Lucas nodded, "I wanted our last night in Vegas to be special. Memorable."
"Well it is. I love it." Brooke murmured and kissed him.
That night they did a lot of kissing…..and a little more.
Okay there's Chapter 7 for you all. I hope you liked it, especially the adding Peyton and Jenny's lives into the mix. Tell me what you think about that and if you like it I'll add in some Jeyton. I'm glad a lot of you like Tim. I LOVE HIM!!! He's so adorable and funny I hope I portrayed him okay. So R&R with anything I love hearing other peoples opinions/views/ideas for my story. Thanks!
