AN: I'm sorry to all the Brucas' fans out there, you aren't going to like this. I know I said that this story was Brucas, but I also said Laley. Jake, Haley and Tristan weren't being assholes, they were just trying to make a plan, it's kinda crapI know. Anyway, read it if you want, let me know what you're thinking.

Disclaimer: I-sadly- own nothing.

Jake sat at home later that night thinking of Haley's situation. He didn't know what he could do to help. Of course he could ask Brooke to baby sit but he didn't know her that well. What if she can't handle it? And besides she might just say no straight away.

You have to do something. His sympathetic side told him. The look on Haley's face pushed him to make a decision.

Tomorrow. I'll ask her tomorrow.

Standing, he walked to his room to check on Jenny.

"Brooke, do you have a second?" Jake asked, catching up to the brunette as she walked away from her squad.

"Sure what's up Jake?"

"I was hoping you could do me a favour. I've got some extra shifts at Karen's and my parents have to work too. I was wondering if you would be able to watch Jenny for me."

"I… I don't really know anything about babies. Can't Peyton do it?"

"Well I asked her actually." He lied, making a mental note to fill her in. "But she has a strip due and she's got a certain environment she likes to work in. You know with the music and everything. And I don't really like my daughter to listen to that kind of music."

"Oh, ok, well I'll see what I can do,"

"Thanks You're a life saver." She smiled uncertainly as he walked away, in search of Peyton.

Brooke met up with the cheerleading squad out the front of the school. After the events at basketball practise last week Whitey made it a rule that no one but the team was to enter the gym during practise. That meant the cheerleaders were out.

While their captain waited for all of her girls to arrive she walked over to her best friend.

"Peyton, do you think you could look after Jenny? Jake asked me, but I don't know how."

"I'd love to Brooke, but I can't. I have a strip due. I'm really sorry. It's not so hard really. But if you have any major problems you can call me. I just won't be able to be there all the time."

Jake had told her he needed Brooke to baby sit. He couldn't explain his exact reasons, but told her it was 'for a good cause.'

"Ok, but keep you're phone on." She turned to the other girls. "Ok, so let's pick up where we left off yesterday." She instructed.

I know this one was short, and I haven't been very popular lately due to my short chapters, but the next one is longer. I swear to God.
