Please remember to review! I love hearing what you think! I've been a little stuck on this story lately, so sorry for the delay. And special thanks to On The Hill and Miguel51 for all of your reviews! You've helped me keep this story going! P.S.-lots of Breyton fluff ahead :)
The girls had slept in the next morning to allow some time to recuperate from the drama of the last couple of days. They had spent all night cuddled up together, just enjoying being with each other. Not wanting to disrupt the peace, they decided that the gloomy rain outside was a perfect excuse to just stay in all day. They were both more than happy to not have to deal with anyone else.
Brooke POV
I smiled down at my blonde, enjoying brushing my hand through her soft curls. She was cuddled up into my side, head cradled in my neck, arm wrapped around my stomach, and one leg thrown over both of my own. We had been laying like this since we woke up and I was in no hurry to move. I gave an occasional kiss to Peyton's forehead, to which she'd giggle a little and snuggle her face a little more into my neck. I loved her like this, just being free, silly, and cute. I smiled to myself again and let my hand move from her hair, down her back. When I reached her waist I dragged it over her side and flattened over her still thin tummy.
I felt a warm breath of air fan over my neck before she smiled into my skin, giving me a small kiss just under my jawline. I moved my hand to sit under the tang top she wore, rubbing small circles on her stomach, imaging our baby growing there. We were silent for a moment, each just enjoying the sensation, before I softly spoke up. "Boy or girl?"
She hummed against my skin, the vibrating sensation sending me momentarily into a lusty haze. "Well, if it's a girl, and anything like either of us, we're gonna be in trouble." I laughed at that, thinking how true that was. "How about you?"
I didn't even think before saying, "just as long as it's healthy I will be happy." She nodded into my chest, silently agreeing. I moved to tangle my free hand with hers, playing with each other's fingers as they rested on my stomach. I smiled again to myself, thinking of how we often did this. It was one of our small comforts to each other. We had always held hands and played with each other's fingers, even when we were little.
"What about names?" She almost whispered out.
This time I did take a second to think. "Well, while I do kinda have some idea, I think it's too early to decide though. We should wait and I think as the baby grows, we'll just...kinda know." I listened for her objection, and was happy to not get one. I actually had the perfect name in mind already, but thought it might be too early for Peyton to hear it.
I hugged her closer for a moment, before I started to get up. I grinned when I heard her whine and try to keep me in my spot. "Baby, we have to get up."
She moaned pitifully, pouting the whole way. "But why? I was so comfy."
I leaned down, taking her face in my hands and giving her a sweet kiss. I pulled back just enough to look her in the eyes before speaking. "Because, I have a family to feed. Can't have my baby mama starving now can I?" She playfully smacked my arm and smiled brightly up at me. She certainly seemed more awake now that food was involved. I held in a giggle as I saw her eyes light up with an idea.
She brought her face close to mine again, our lips just brushing as I felt her bite her lip, looking up into my eyes. "So does mama get to have whatever she wants then?"
I dramatically rolled my eyes and said, "well, duh. Of course she does!" She smiled again and made a cute face at me.
"Chocolate chip pancakes?"
I leaned down to kiss her again, this time a little more sensually before pulling back and mentioning, "you never cease to amaze me with that 5 year old taste you have. It's no wonder kids love you so much!" I laughed and she hugged me around the stomach, pulling me to stand between her legs since she was still sitting on the edge of our bed. She leaned back and looked up at me, eyes full of love and a goofy grin on her face. I rubbed my hand over her cheek, just enjoying her for a few seconds. She moved her hands to my waist, guiding me to turn around before standing behind me and pushing me forward towards the door lightly.
"Well, go on then. This mama's hungry!" We both laughed and I shook my head at her, grabbing her hand to pull her downstairs.
Time skip
Peyton POV
Brooke had just been feeding me another bite of chocolatey pancake at the dining room table when the doorbell went off. Brooke frowned at the door, before getting up to go answer it. I pouted some, already missing the playful atmosphere. I was enjoying my breakfast with my girlfriend, which had somehow turned into us sharing small kisses and feeding each other. I glanced back towards the door, cringing at who could be on the other side. As the thoughts of what happened when our last surprise visitor showed up, I nervously got up to follow Brooke. As I turned, I saw Brooke standing in the door with it half open, from this angle though I couldn't see who was standing behind it. Whoever it was she was actually talking to them and not screaming so that had to be a good sign.
I walked around to sneak behind her, peering over my girlfriend's shoulder to see who had stopped by. "Hey Brooke, who is -" just as soon as I saw Haley, she pushed Brooke to the side and pulled me into a huge hug.
"OH MY GOD PEYTON! CONGRATULATIONS!"
I stood frozen with my arms up, Haley still tightly wrapped around me. I glanced over towards Brooke, who looked just as confused as I felt. My girlfriend shrugged and went to say something, but was cut off by an overly excited Haley. She had pulled back just enough to grab Brooke's wrist and pull her into the surprise hug, clamping herself around both of us now. "Oh you too, Brooke! Oh my god guys, I can't believe this! This is so great! I'm so happy for you both! Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod ! CONGRATULATIONS!"
By now Brooke had managed to peel our friend off of us, holding her at arms length, before speaking calmly to her. "Okay Hales, you're gonna have to slow down here some. What are you talking about?"
Haley looked at us both like we were stupid, before she gestured to me, "Peyton's pregnant. You guys are having a baby!" Even though Haley had a huge smile on her face, I still felt myself pale some at the fact that she knew. I couldn't see Brooke's face but I could tell by the way her back tensed that she was surprised that our friend knew this too.
Brooke, asked, slowly this time, "Haley, how did you know that?"
For the first time since she showed up, Haley started to look uncomfortable, shuffling her feet some and looking between my girlfriend and I, finally settling her gave on Brooke. "Um, well, I kinda got a call...from Lucas." She must have seen the looks on out faces because she was quick to explain, " listen, he just called and told about what had happened. Lindsay left and he was upset and apparently came over here, and he just called to tell me what all happened. I'm not excusing his behavior, and quite frankly I chewed him out over the phone, but he did let it slip while we were talking. But me and Nate are super happy for you guys! We really want to be there for you, for you both?" She finished and looked at us both, hope in her eyes.
Brooke was still standing tensely, so I walked to her side and grabbed her hand. When she looked at me I gave her a small smile, which she matched, before turning back to Haley. "Well, we ant really be in Jamie's life and not have you in our child's." Haley broke out in a huge smile at that, rushing forward to hug us again, which we both returned this time. Pulling away, Haley kneeled down to be face to face with my stomach and put one hand on it, looking up to us, "really guys, this is so great!"
Brooke took my hand and responded, smiling like a fool and her eyes never leaving my stomach, "yea, it really is amazing." She sounded like she was breathless, and so amazed, and it fell a little more in love with her. So as Haley and Brooke admired the baby growing in me, I couldn't help but look adoringly at my girlfriend, the love of my life.
