Thanks for all of your reviews once again, u guys are truly amazing. Btw Haley is four months along due in November and Brooke is 3 months along due in December. But there is a HUGE surprise ahead I hope you guys like it because I already have an idea for a sequel and this kind of just worked out.
Here's chapter 10:
Lucas looked over at Brooke and took in the look on her face.
"I know that look," he said, "you gotta to pee."
"No I don't." Brooke insisted her eyes never meeting his, she paused, "yeah okay I do."
"baby we just left" Lucas pleaded.
"I know I'm sorry."
"we haven't even been six blocks." He said.
"Well I gotta go." Brooke said.
"Okay fine, I'll pull up to that Starbucks and you can go to the bathroom." Lucas said, "but I swear to God, Brooke if you come out with a caffeine filled drink in your hand we won't stop again."
Brooke sighed, "fine just pull over so I can pee."
Lucas pulled off the road and into the small parking lot Nathan's car followed and behind him Skills did too.
After talking it over at the water-park with Skills and Bevin they decided to come on the trip to L.A too. Since they rented a car in Nevada they just had to call the rental place and tell them that they'd have the car at lest two weeks longer then they'd expected and it would be dropped off at the North Carolina airport. The rental agreed and added a good $500 to their bill. But according to the happy couple it would all be worth it, catching up with friends.
Brooke hopped out of the car and ran into the Starbucks. Surprisingly, the strong scent of coffee didn't make her want to gag. She occupied the small one-person women's bathroom. After peeing and washing her hands she got out of the bathroom and stared at the big yummy menu. God she could use a nice hot extra foamy latte. It literally took all her will not to get anything and to just leave the coffee shop.
Lucas greeted her with a kiss when she got in the car and told her he was proud of her.
She smiled and put her hand on his knee. 'Move Along' by the All American Rejects oozed out of the sound system and Brooke found herself singing along to the catchy lyrics.
Brooke touched her stomach but nothing changed it was still pretty much flat. She sighed exasperated. Lucas noticed, "it's okay, baby. Be patient they'll show in no-time."
"I know. I'm not a patient person. Luke." Brooke said. "I'm just going to apologize in advance because when I'm huge and about to pop, I'm going to be so un-patient then. I can already tell."
Lucas smiled, "thanks for the warning." He said entwining their fingers.
"No problem." Brooke replied and sang the last verse of the song, "And even when your hope Is gone. Move Along Move along just to make it through. Move Along."
"Don't sign up for American Idol, anytime soon, Pretty Girl." Lucas joked.
Brooke swatted at his arm playfully, "that's not nice, Broody." She said and stuck out her tongue.
"I'm just kidding. You're a great singer." Lucas said.
"Nice try, but you and I both know I'm no singer. That's Haley's expertise." Brooke said.
Lucas' phone rang, "Hey." He answered.
"Hello, Sweetheart." He heard his mom's warm voice say.
"Mom!" Lucas said surprised, "how are you? How's Lily?"
"I'm fine and Lily is great she misses her big brother." Karen said.
In the background Lucas could hear a little girls voice begging to talk.
Reluctantly, Karen said, "okay Lily wants to talk to you."
A moment later Lily was on the phone, "Hello?" She asked.
"Hey Lily, it's Lucas."
"Lucas!!!!!!" Lily squealed delighted.
"How is my favorite big girl?" Lucas asked.
"I'm good. Guess what!" Lily said.
"What?" He wondered.
"Mommy let me get a puppy!" Lily yelled.
"Wow that's great." Lucas said, "what did you name it?"
"It's a girl and she's a golden retriever I named her Nala." Lily said.
She named her Nala after the lion in the Lion King her all time favorite movie.
"That's a cool name." He said in response.
"yeah. I love you, Lucas." Lily said.
"I love you too. Put mom back on the phone." He replied.
"Honey?" Karen's voice came back on the phone.
"Yea, hey Mom." Lucas said.
"How are you? How's Brooke?" She asked.
"She's great. I proposed, Mom!" Lucas told her.
"Oh my Goodness! That's great! Congratulations!" Karen yelled.
"Thanks Mom." Lucas said, "I better get going. I love you."
"Love you too, Luke. Bye." Karen said and hung up.
"Who was that?" Brooke asked looking up from her sketchpad.
"My mom." Lucas replied looking over at his pretty girlfriend.
"Oh, you should've told her I said Hi." Brooke said and began drawing again.
"sorry." Lucas responded.
"It's alright. How are they?" Brooke asked.
"Their great. Lily got a puppy."
"That's cool." Brooke said, "How much longer?"
"I don't know about a good day or two. They live all the way in the south, without stopping it could be about 16 hours."
Great………

"99 bottles of beer on the wall 99 bottles of beer take one down pass it around 98 bottles of beer on the wall. 98 bottles of beer on the wall 98 bottles of beer, take one down pass it around 97 bottles of beer on the wall. 97 bottles of beer on the wall, 97 bottles of beer take one down pass it around 96 bottles of beer on the wall." Tim sang at the top of his lungs in the back of Skills car.
"Yo, man shut up." Skills said.
"Come on bro haven't you heard of road trip songs? Bottle of Beer on the wall is a classic." Tim said and began to sing again. "96 bottles of beer on the wall 96 bottles of beer, take one down pass it around 95 bottles of beer on the wall…"
Skills groaned, "why did I agree to taking him in our car?" He asked aloud.
"It's okay honey." Bevin said placing a hand on his arm and kissed him quickly on the lips.
"If there's more of that then I think I can handle the white boy back there singing." Skills joked.
"Oh there will be." Bevin said and winked.
Skills couldn't wait…..

"I'm hungry," Jamie announced an hour later.
"Sweetie, there's a box of gold fish in the blue bag next to you." Haley said.
"I don't want goldfish!" Jamie persisted.
"Then what do you want?" Haley asked.
"food." He responded.
"Stop being difficult Jim-Jam," Haley said.
"But, Momma!!!!" Jamie whined.
"No buts!" She said sounding like her own mother.
Nathan looked over at he, "Maybe we should stop and get something to eat we've been on the road for two hours and you know he isn't patient." Nathan said.
"I wonder who he gets that from…." Haley teased.
"Yeah I wonder that, too" Jamie called from the back seat.
Nathan laughed, "Hey buddy I was on your side."
"Oh…" Jamie realized, "but can we get something to eat?"
Haley couldn't help but giggle this kid just didn't give up, another trait he inherited from his father, "Fine, I'll call Brooke." She agreed, pulling out her cell phone.
"Hey Brooke!" Haley said when she picked up.
"Hey tutor-mom, what's doing?" Brooke asked.
"Nothing. Jamie is being Jamie and he wants to get something to eat." Haley informed her.
"Don't you have something he could eat in your car?" Brooke asked.
"Tried that. He's being stubborn like his Daddy and won't take anything we have." She said.
"Well Lucas saw a sign for a Dave & Buster's arcade. He can eat and play." Brooke said.
"That's a great idea. Tell Lucas to lead the way and we'll follow." Haley said relieved that Jamie could now stop complaining.
"Okay. C ya." Brooke said and hung up.
"Guess what, Jim-Jam?" Haley said.
"What Momma? What?" Jamie asked sitting up.
"We're going to an arcade!" She announced, and the car erupted with cheers, not only from Jamie but from the big kid driving the car too.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A half hour later they were seated at a large booth in Dave & Busters Arcade.
Tim and Jamie could barely hide their excitement. Haley had to force him to sit down. The waiter brought them a round of waters and ordered their meals.
Hearing the bings and chimes of games and all the flashing lights made Jamie want to get up from the table and play. But his mom wouldn't let him until he finished at least half of his macaroni and cheese.
Finally, after what felt like forever for the two kids at the table— Jamie and Tim— the food arrived and everyone dug into their dishes.
"Mmm…yummy." Haley said and helped Jamie with his utensils.
"Yea the foods good." Nathan agreed cutting into his steak.
Brooke didn't have much of an appetite she felt like she was going to throw up and she hated that feeling. So she just sat there taking tiny sips of water and moving the food around on her plate. She knew she had to eat not just for her but for the babies too, but she just couldn't make herself lift her fork to her lips.
"What's wrong, Cheery?" Lucas asked placing his free hand on her stomach.
"I don't feel that—" As soon as the words left her mouth she knew that it was a problem. She bolted from the table one hand on her mouth the other around her stomach. She found the woman's bathroom and occupied an empty stall and threw up. Her throat burned and she found herself crying.
Lucas followed Brooke to the bathroom. He opened the door slightly and called, "Brooke?"
He heard crying and didn't care that it was a girls' bathroom he walked in and spotted his fiancé on her knees in front of a toilet. "Sh….it's okay, Pretty girl. I'm here"
He gathered her hair in his hands and slowly rubbed her back while she finished throwing up. He helped her off the floor and held her in his arms as she cried.
"I'm sorry, I ruined your dinner." Brooke sobbed burying her sweaty face into Lucas' soft sweatshirt.
"No I'm sorry your dinner got ruined," Lucas said. "I know this must be hard but things will get better."
"I hope so." She sniffled and they walked together to the sink. She rinsed out her mouth and washed her sweaty face.
"You look so beautiful." Lucas said truthfully.
"Thanks, Lucas," Brooke said smiling wryly, "I love you so much."
"I love you too, Brooke." Lucas said pulling her into him and kissing the top of her head.

"Daddy?" Jenny asked creeping into her parent's bedroom.
When she got no response from her dad she said, "Mommy?" She asked still not reply from her still asleep parents. Finally she decided to jump on their bed. Right as she was about to climb up she heard her mom say, "Sweetie, go back to sleep it's only sux in the morning."
"But I have to go to school!" She complained.
"Jenny, baby, it's summer remember?" Peyton said tiredly. "There's no more school until September."
"Oh yeah." Jenny said remembering that she had three months off from school.
"So go back to bed," Peyton concluded.
Jenny sighed, "fine." And with that she stomped back into her pretty purple bedroom painted by Peyton when they moved into the house.
"That was close," Jake murmured and wrapped his arms around Peyton from behind.
Peyton snuggled into his naked body. She felt him getting hard.
"Feel like having a repeat of last night?" He murmured suggestively.
"I would love to, honey." Peyton said wiggling out of his grasp, "but I don't have a summer vacation." With that she got up and walked into their conjoined master bathroom and turned on the water for a shower.
At eight Peyton walked down the stairs fully dressed and ready for a day in the studio. The smell of French toast and bacon filled her nostrils so she followed the smell which lead her to the kitchen where she found Jenny sitting at the kitchen table in her pajamas and Jake in front of the oven cooking.
"Good Morning, beautiful." Jake said and kissed her on the lips.
"Good Morning, Daddy." Peyton said and kissed him back. Then walked over to Jenny and said, "Good Morning, baby."
"Morning Mommy." Jenny murmured while shoving a blueberry in her mouth.
"Slow down." Peyton ordered softly, "we don't want you to choke."
Jenny obeyed and popped the blueberries in slower.
A smile never left Jake's face. He loved watching Peyton and Jenny interact, especially in the morning when they were both in good, sweet moods. He couldn't wait to marry her in a month and he always knew that they were meant for each other.
"Jake?" Peyton called while pouring herself a cup of steaming hot coffee.
"Yea, Peyt?"
"Today I might be an hour later than usual because I'm going for my last wedding gown fitting." She explained.
"Okay…" Jake said, "will you be home for dinner?"
"Of course. What's on the menu?" She asked.
"I was thinking about barbequing, how does that sound?" He asked.
"Hot dogs?" Jenny asked butting into the conversation.
"Yep," Jake confirmed.
"YAY!!!!!!!" Jenny cheered.
"So it's settled?" Jake asked.
Peyton nodded, "a barbeque it is."

Brooke stood behind Nathan as he played a coin game in the arcade. She enviously eyed Haley and her already showing stomach beside her.
Finally, she decided to say something. "Haley how come your showing and I'm not? We're barely a month apart." Brooke whined.
Haley looked down at her stomach and lightly placed a hand on it, "the doctor said I'm showing sooner because I've already been pregnant. So, it knows what it has to do already." She explained.
That sounded reasonable but Brooke still wanted her own baby bump.
"I wish I could fit in a few more weeks of wearing regular clothes." She said to Brooke, probably to make her feel better but it wasn't working.
Brooke faked a laugh and went off to find Tim and Jamie.
A loud siren went off in the arcade signaling that someone just won. Curious Brooke followed the sound and in the mist of all the commotion were Tim and Jamie in front of a colorful lit-up machine, tickets pouring out of it.
"Auntie Brooke!" Jamie shouted when he spotted her, "me and Tim won the jackpot."
Brooke laughed, "I'm no English teacher but I think it's Tim and I, sweetie." She said picking him up and smothering him with kisses.
Tim was picking up the tickets and placing them in a bucket. There had to be at least 1000 tickets.
"I know exactly what I want." Jamie said………..
And that's how two hours later Jamie sat beside a huge blue stuffed frog in the back seat of his parents car.
"Aw look at him." Haley said to Nathan gesturing to the backseat.
Nathan quickly glanced back at his son who was fast asleep cuddled up to the huge stuffed frog.
"We did a good job, Hales." Nathan whispered and caressed her hand.
"We did didn't we." Haley mused.
"I love you, Haley" Nathan said, "and never forget it."
"I love you too, baby." Haley murmured.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"That is so funny that Jamie decided to get that huge frog." Brooke said half-asleep as Lucas drove.
"I know the thing is bigger then him." Lucas replied and realized how tired Brooke was.
"Baby just go to sleep." Lucas said and rubbed Brooke's stomach.
Brooke smiled mischievously, "I wish we could've stayed at a hotel."
"Why is that?" Lucas asked raising an eyebrow.
"All these hormones and you touching me is making me extremely turned on." She said huskily.
Lucas winked and said, "there's always tomorrow, Pretty Girl, but right now I want you and our babies to rest."
"Whatever you say……" Brooke murmured drifting off to a serene sleep.

"It's perfect!" Peyton gushed turning around in the 360 degree mirror, while admiring her wedding dress.
"and you look fabulous in it." Marco her wedding coordinator praised.
Marco is indeed gay; he was charming and had a dry sense of humor, add that with a fabulous fashion sense and he was the best wedding coordinator a bride could ask for.
"you really think so?" Peyton asked even though she knew the answer.
"I know so, girlfriend," Marco said, "if I had your ass I'd wear that dress too!"
Peyton laughed, "I don't look….fat?" She asked self-consciously.
"Not at all, darling." Marco confirmed.
"Good."
"Okay so take that off, so we can pay for Jenny's dress." Marco said pushing Peyton into a dressing room.
Peyton did as she was told and in two minutes she was back out. Marco was waiting for her, with a tiny white dress with a lime green bow tied around the waist, hung over his arm. It was Jenny's flower girl dress and Peyton and Jenny both adored it.
"So when will we get t measure your bridesmaids?" Marco asked.
"Actually…." Peyton started sheepishly, "they don't know my wedding is in a month."
Marco gasped, "when will you see them? I recall you saying something about them living on the East coast how will they get here?"
"No see they're on their way here. They decided to take a road trip and they know that I'm engaged. But I decided to make it a surprise that I'd be getting married while they visited." Peyton said.
"honey, why would you do that?" Marco asked.
Peyton laughed she was starting to wonder that herself, "I don't know, it's my style though. I do things spontaneously." She shrugged.
"I wish I could have that attitude, girlfriend." Marco laughed and smoothed out his pastel colored button down shirt, "hey its your wedding, honey, not mine."
Damn right it was her wedding.

"Skilly-willy." Bevin teased with pleading eyes.
"Yes Bevy-wevy." Skills teased back.
"I'm thirsty." She whined.
"Me too, homez!" Tim said from the back seat.
Skills and Bevin looked at each other, "again I don't know why I let him into our car." Skills said.
"It's cause you love the Tim-ster." Tim clarified stretching himself out in the roomy back of the car.
Skills eyed him, "yeah okay white boy." He joked.
Bevin giggled and begged for a drink.
"Here," Skills said and passed her a water bottle.
She sighed but greedily took a big sip.
A question that was being asked suddenly popped into their heads: Are We There Yet?!?!?!
Xxxxxxxxxxxxx

So if anyone has any ideas of what they could do to delay the trip please tell me any suggestions would be highly appreciated. But to keep your interests there is going to be a HUGE surprise in the near future so please continue to Read & Review.
Thanks- C xoxo
