Thanks to everyone who reads and reviews, and a special thanks to Pat Toby! I know exactly how this fic is going to end, not going to tell you though, hopefully I won't disappoint you.

Peyton woke up the next day smiling as she looked at the wall, it was the last thing she saw when she went to bed and it was the first thing she saw when she woke up, she got down from the bed and walked towards her computer, normally she would have the webcam on, but ever sense Derek turned out to be a maniac she decided not to have it on all the time, instead she kept it off not wanting anymore people to stalk her for her webcasts. She took slow calm breaths as she walked towards her closet taking out the outfit for the day, her clothes were getting to small for her to wear, but she wouldn't have to buy new ones yet. She loved being pregnant, if someone would have told her a few years back that she would end up having a baby when barely being eighteen years old she would have slapped that person and said that he or her could go fuck themselves, but there she was. Pregnant with Jake's kid, and she were on her own, something that had bothered her, but not at the moment, she were sure that she would handle it, and if she ever needed help then she had her friends, those people who would be there for her no matter what. Brooke Davis who hadn't left her side sense her mother died, her first mother that is, and Peyton loved her for it. Nathan who she had been crazy in love with at first, who knew exactly how she felt living in a crazy family with only secrets and then there were his brother Lucas, who believed in her. He believed in her art, and her ability to reach out to people with it and make them feel something, he told her that her art meant something to people. Haley were her common sense, Haley were always there for everyone, and she was the one telling Peyton how stupid she was for hanging on to Lucas just because Jake told her that he thought that she were still in to him. Peyton Sawyer would not be where she was today without her friends, if she had gone to Pete instead of Jake then she wouldn't be pregnant, but she wouldn't want to do anything different. Her baby girl wasn't a burden or the result of a mistake, she were her baby, the most precious thing in the world to her, a part of Jake and herself. At first she had been scared to death when she found out that she were pregnant, but then after knowing that Brooke and Haley were too she actually became calmer to the news. Maybe it was because now she wasn't alone in the boat; she had her favorite girls with her and they would never leave her, if she needed them they would be there, and the same went for them.

"What's up Peyt?" startled by Haley's voice Peyton turned around and smirked at her blond female friend who were laying on her bed laughing at her reaction. "Chillax dude, I was just wondering if you felt like going shopping with us today?"

"Us?" Peyton raised an eyebrow, Haley turned around and sighed deeply before walking out of the room and grabbed someone, she dragged Lucas to the door and Peyton started laughing when she saw him, he had a miserable expression on his face, and looked like he were going to die from boredom. "Yeah sure, I just need to get ready"

Almost running around in the house Peyton managed to put some clothes on, putting make up on, taking her camera with her for no apparent reason and then she walked out her room and down the stairs were both Haley and Lucas were waiting, Haley being very eager to go shopping, but Lucas on the other hand looked like he were more or less hoping that something would happen so that they could stay where they were. He had found out by Nathan that Dan had died, it felt weird not needing to wonder what the old man was up to, not having him looking over your shoulder, but still it was good that he were finally gone out of their lives forever. They walked towards Peyton's car and soon got in and started driving slowly towards the mall.

"So, why isn't Brooke here?" Peyton asked laughing at her best friends who only smirked at her. "You know she loves shopping"

"Yeah we know" Haley replied smiling as the wind blew through her hair; she leaned back and took a deep breath. "But she couldn't, said she had stuff to do, that's why Lucas is here, he is Brooke Davis for the day"

Peyton laughed again and looked at Lucas not being able to imagine him as Brooke Davis at all, those two were completely different, they didn't share any interest at all, but still they managed to complete each other so well even if they weren't that much like each other no one thought that their relationship would end anytime soon. Everyone were actually quite sure that their relationship would last forever, mostly because of two reasons, and that was because Brooke Davis had said so and Brooke Davis was always right, and the second reason was because Brooke Davis would kick the ass of every person who said otherwise.

"So, B. Davis" Peyton said laughing yet again when she saw the face Lucas were making. "Where are we going first?"

Lucas smiled, thinking that it was amazing that he had gotten himself in this situation where he were actually going shopping with his best girlfriends, that was something he had managed to escape sense he met Haley, which were quite amazing. But then again maybe it weren't that amazing, Haley was never one for shopping, she'd rather watch him play basketball with the boys then go shopping acting all girly like. But she loved doing the girly stuff too, she couldn't imagine doing these things with Lucas, and she were happy having Peyton and Brooke there with her to help her with everything, clothes and the baby and just girly stuff.

"Well" Lucas said leaning towards them, trying to sound and act as much as Brooke as he could. "I am going shopping for my baby, making sure that it won't be a broody like his boring daddy, and then look for some outfits that I need"

Surprised that Lucas could actually do such a good Brooke Davis both Haley and Peyton started laughing while Peyton parked the car and got out, Lucas quickly followed them and they started shopping for clothes and for everything that they might need. All of them surprised about how expensive it was to buy clothes and stuff for babies and pregnant woman. Lucas could honestly say that he was happy that Dan Scott was dead, thanks to him Lucas now had enough money, he could buy the stuff that the baby needed and he didn't even borrow any money. The same went for Peyton, her mothers had left her a lot of money and she was now just as rich as the Scott boys. Nathan owned both the houses, the one at the beach and the big one, both him and Haley were happy that they could sell the apartment and move in another house. They were still having the concert, but now it was a unofficial celebration that Dan Scott had finally died, maybe it was a bit harsh, but the man had caused everyone a lot of pain and grieve, no one wanted to be sad that he died, most of the people in Tree Hill didn't even care that he and Deb had died. But Nathan Scott had cared, he had pretended to not care but the truth was that he was heartbroken. He wanted his parents to be proud of him, but no matter what he did and said they were never proud of him, and now they would never be either. Even though he didn't tell anyone, he truly did miss them, because despite everything they had done, they were still his parents. He sat in Karen's Café trying to make himself stop miss them, they had caused him nothing but pain, he shouldn't miss them, and yet he did.

"Nathan" he looked up and saw Karen walk towards him a smile on her face, Nathan smiled back at her, this woman were the one you went to whenever you had a problem, she always had something good to say, and if you followed her advice, adding your own little twist to it, things would always work out, Nathan knew that from experience. "I wanted to talk to you about the concert, is it still on?"

Nathan shrugged, the truth was that he didn't really need any more money, he owned the beach house, and the house that he and Haley were going to move to, he were also co-owner together with Lucas, they now both owned Dan's car dealership "Dan Scott motors" that was something that had surprised both of them, Lucas had maybe thought that Dan would give him some money, but that everything else he owned would go to his favorite son Nathan Scott, he were happily surprised to see that it wasn't like that at all. Seeing as none of the boys knew anything about owning a dealership Cooper had said that he were going to help them for as long as they needed it. Both Lucas and Nathan had agreed that it was for the best that Cooper take care of it for now, at least until they got old enough to know how to run it.

"Well, I don't need the money anymore Karen" he just replied, nodding as he thought about the death of his parents again and not the money they left behind. "Me and Haley have sold the apartment to Lucas and Brooke, and with the two of us owning the dealership I can't really see the point, we're off debt"

Karen nodded her head, seeing that he was hurt and deeply wounded by the sudden death of his parents, she wasn't so sure if anyone else noticed that he were in fact missing them, Nathan had always been good at hiding his feelings, unlike some of his friends. But if you live with Dan Scott, showing your feelings aren't a choice, you just don't.

"Then we should just do it anyway" Karen just said, smiling as she saw Nathans surprised face. "You might be out of debt, and have enough money to take care of a baby, but Peyton doesn't, and unlike you guys she is alone"

Nathan hadn't thought about it, he had known that Peyton were having a baby but he hadn't ever thought about the fact that she was in fact all alone, sure she had her friends but that wasn't the same thing. Her friends were also going to be parents, and soon they wouldn't have that much time to help her either, and then Peyton Sawyer would be all alone on that big house with her baby.

"I guess I never thought about that" he said mostly to himself, Karen nodded thinking about the fact that Peyton were in a similar position that she had found herself in a long time ago, when she found out that she were pregnant with Lucas. "But she'll never take it"

Peyton were proud, she didn't like accepting help, the only reason she would accept help when it came to the baby was because it wasn't only about her. When it came to baby clothes and furniture she needed it because it wasn't about her pride anymore, it was about her baby, and how her baby girl needed those things, and for her Peyton would gladly do anything.

"That is why we are not going to give her the money" Karen said laughing quietly when she saw Nathans surprised face. "I know that it sounds weird, but trust me on this one"

Nathan nodded his head knowing that Karen's plan would most likely work, her plans always had a tendency of working, he smiled poorly at her as he drank his coffee watching her run around in the café, a small bump on her stomach showing that she were pregnant, Nathan were impressed that she even though she were pregnant still managed to deal with the café the way she did. Without saying anything he left money next to his cup and walked out of the café not knowing where he was going. He just knew that he needed to think, needed to breath and just be on his own for a while. Haley was shopping with Peyton and Lucas, she had said that he could call her whenever he needed her, but the truth was the she didn't understand. She would just think that he were crazy for missing his parents, for actually wishing that they were alive, she had only seen the worst possible version for his parents, and couldn't possible understand that there was a nice side to them. They weren't just bad, in fact they were pretty nice and amazing persons from time to time, at least his mother had been.

"What you doing out here hot shot?" Nathan looked around and found himself sitting on the river court just watching Brooke Davis, she had a huge smile on her face, her hair hanged around her shoulders, and she were wearing tight jeans and Lucas jacket.

He had always thought that she were beautiful, not that he had ever seen her in any other way than a sister, her had never felt anything for Brooke Davis, sure they had fooled around from time to time when he were still dating Peyton but besides nothing had ever happened between them.

"Thinking" he replied shortly, you saw a slight bump under the jacket as she went to sit next to him, looking at his face almost like she were trying to understand that was going on in that mind of his, and in a way she did, she was one of those few who understood that Nathan missed his parents, she missed hers to and that made no sense at all.

Both of them had dysfunctional parents and family's overall for that matter, and they knew how both of them felt when it came to not having their parents there, Haley could never understand her parents had always been there for her and her family were messy and big but in a good way. Lucas family was Karen and Keith, and he was closer to a perfect family than any of them.

"About what?" she asked smiling at him.

"Nothing" he replied, smiling back at her. "So, how are my little niece or nephew?"

"Your nephew is good" Brooke said laughing as she looked down on her stomach and then placed her hand on top of it smiling as she did so. "Thanks by the way for practically giving us the apartment"

Nathan smiled, he felt good for doing that for his brother and his girlfriend, they couldn't live with Karen, according to Lucas he thought that it would be too much to have two babies in the house and it wasn't that big. But he and Brooke didn't want to get a new house quite yet, and when Dan and Deb died he and Haley decided to move in the house and that's when they both decided to give the apartment to Lucas and Brooke.

"No problem" he said smirking at her. "We can't have you guys living with Lucas mom"

Brooke just nodded her head, she had no problem living with Karen, in fact it was quite fun to live with the older woman. Karen Roe was almost like a role model for Brooke, a great mother and yet she had a great company, or two to be exact. She was the living proof that only because you were a mother it didn't mean that you couldn't make a career for yourself.

"Haha maybe not" she replied after a while and then saw that Nathan yet again had that bothered look on his face, she knew him all too well to miss it, and she knew that he were thinking about his parent's again. "Come on Nate, what's wrong?"

"It's just my parent's" he replied and she nodded her head, just because she knew what was wrong, that didn't mean that she knew exactly what to say to him, there were a slight difference between her parents and his. "I miss them, but it feels like I shouldn't, after everything they've done you know?"

She nodded her head again, he turned so that he were now looking at her a sad look on his face, Brooke didn't say anything but waited for him to say something.

"It's okay for you to miss them Nate" she simply said as he leaned in closer to her, she didn't back away but just sat completely still not really understanding what was going on, before she knew it she felt his lips on hers, and she almost jumped away from him, quickly standing up glaring down at him. "What is wrong with you Nathan? I have a boyfriend! You have a wife, who is my best friend, I could never do that to her"

Nathan looked down on the ground again feeling worse than before, he couldn't believe that he had kissed his brothers girlfriend, it was wrong to do that to Lucas and Haley, but he couldn't help it, and it was a mistake, he did not feel anything for Brooke, and he did not want to kiss her, it just happened.

"Lucas" he turned around and saw Brooke look at Lucas who only stood there a hurt look on his face, without a single word he turned around and started walking away from there, groaning as he did so Nathan placed his face in his hands cursing over the fact that he was such an idiot. "Lucas wait"

Brooke ran after him, not wanting him to leave her before she could explain, she didn't want to kiss Nathan, she didn't like him that way and she loved Lucas, she always would and could never hurt him the same way as he had hurt her. Soon enough she ran next to him, she grabbed his shoulder and forced him to stop, he just watched her tears burning in his eyes.

"Lucas, look I didn't kiss Nathan" she said not knowing what else to say to make him forgive her. "I promise you that I would never do that to you, I love you, you're the only one for me Broody, I promise, but just don't be mad at me okay?"

Lucas nodded his head, smiling poorly at her.

"You're not mad at me?" she asked, he shook his head and then placed his arms around her waist as he pulled her closer to him kissing her forehead, resting his head on top of hers.

"I'm not mad at you pretty girl" he whispered. "I want to be mad at you, and I would have been if it was someone else then, but you are my only exception, I love you"

"I love you too" Brooke replied tearing up as they started walking to their apartment, she couldn't believe that he had forgiven her that quickly, but she was happy that he did.

Nathan were on his way home to the house, he knew that he had to tell Haley about the kiss, he didn't want to but at the same time he didn't want to keep a secret from his wife, she would be furious with him but he could handle it and in the end she would forgive him. He hoped that she would anyway, and as he opened the door and heard her singing to herself he knew that Lucas hadn't told her. If he had told Haley then she wouldn't be singing right now, instead she would be furiously talking to Peyton about what an idiot he was, and he was an idiot, this was the second time he cheated on her, even though he didn't mean it he still thought that he were an idiot.

"Nathan?" she said quite loudly. "Is that you?"

He heard her get up from the piano and walk through the house until she got to the front door, she smiled at him and then walked towards him, and were just about to place her arms around his neck when he took a step backwards, he wanted to get it over with, he wanted to tell her and then she would yell at him and do whatever she felt like.

"What's wrong?" she asked, he took a deep breath, this wouldn't be easy for him to say, and she would be angry with him, for every right reason.

"I kissed Brooke" he said quickly. "But do not blame Brooke, she was so angry with me and she yelled at me and said that she could never do that to you, so if you are going to be angry with someone then be angry at me"

Haley just stood there, now knowing if she were to believe what she had just heard. Tearing up she just stood there, then walked past him, she couldn't come up with anything to scream at him, he had hurt her yet again, sure she had been a bitch for going on a tour without him and for cheating with Chris, but he had cheated on her twice. He had promised that he would never do it again and still there they were. Without saying anything she grabbed her jacket and the car keys, and then she got out of the house, walking towards the car hoping that he would follow her, but he didn't. She got in the car and started driving towards Peyton's house, who was the one she needed to talk to. As she arrived at the house she got out of the car and just walked in the house hearing loud music playing, she recognized the song as only exception by Paramore and she smiled as she heard Peyton sing the lyrics to herself. She knocked quietly on the door and Peyton looked over at her and smiled softly before seeing the look of sadness on her friends face.

"What's wrong Haley?" the young girl walked over to the bed were Peyton were laying drawing something while listening to the music, she looked over at her friend whom were currently looking at the wall where it said Elizabeth Anna Sawyer.

"Nathan cheated on me" she said just as she started to cry, Peyton didn't know what to say instead she just placed her arms around the girls neck and pulled her closer to her, trying her best to comfort Haley. "He kissed Brooke"

She didn't know what to believe, the Nathan that were so in love with Haley would never have done that to her, but he had done it twice, she were furious with him but decided that it wasn't the best time to start yelling out random insults while Haley were clearly hurt by what he had done to her. She couldn't understand that Brooke would cheat on Lucas either, those two had just gotten back together and that was Brooke biggest dream, and yet she had cheated on him, Peyton couldn't believe it, she didn't want to.

"Did Brooke kiss him back?" she asked, needing to know.

"No" Haley responded, and Peyton felt somewhat relived. "She got angry with him for kissing her and said that she could never do that to me"

Peyton nodded her head that sounded like the Brooke Davis she knew.

"What am I going to do Peyton?" Haley asked sounding heartbroken; Peyton shook her head, not knowing what to say.

"I don't know Hales" she replied. "But it'll work out in the end, I promise"

Hoping that you liked the chapter, I worked really hard on it.
