Author Note – WE HAVE A WINNER!
That person will see what idea I used when they read this chapter. So I got a review I didn't like. It said something about them not reading the story anymore because Brooke is pregnant, but I guess one loss won't hurt me. I'm so grateful for those who are still reading and sticking by me as I write this.
Please if you have any ideas for this story, let me know. i might not use them like you want me to, but I will use the ideas if you guys give me any like I have in the past chapters.
So here's chapter 20. I hope you enjoy it still.
C20 – I need you Brooke
Nathan was meeting Luke at the river court, but then Jake had asked to hang out also. So all three boys were playing horse, Nathan was winning and Lucas was losing. After Nathan had won the game. They sat at the picnic table, sipping from their waters.
"So Nate, you and Brooke picked out a name for my niece yet?" Lucas asked
"Nope, not yet" Nathan admitted "We said we would pick the name together. I have suggestions just don't know if she'll like them"
"Tell us and we'll tell you if there good names or not" Jake suggested
"Yeah we could do that" Lucas agreed
"Okay" Nathan took a deep breath "I like Rebekah, I got that one out of the baby book and then I also like Aubrey"
"I like them Nate" Lucas smiled "I think Brooke will love them"
"Yeah she would" Jake agreed with Luke
"Good" Nathan laughed and then the boys went and played another game of basketball
...
When I got home I noticed something was wrong. The door wasn't locked and Nathan never leaves the door unlocked and neither do I. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I know something is wrong. I opened the apartment door and slowly shut it. I walked through the front and placed my bag and keys on the counter. I then heard someone cough and I looked ahead to see the blond curly ass bitch standing there staring at me.
"Wow no one told me you were preggers" Peyton spoke clearing the awkwardness kind off.
"Yeah well no one thought you should know" I relax a little and sat on the couch looking up at her still wondering how the fuck she got in here.
"Yeah well you guys have kind of shut me out and just regrouped yourselves" Peyton looked sad, but I didn't give a flying fuck after everything she had done.
"You deserve it, you're a bitch and everyone knows it including yourself" I told her "Why you here Peyton?"
"I wanted to see my bestfriend, isn't that allowed" Peyton replied looking at me
"Former bestfriend you mean" I started rubbing my belly feeling twinges every 2 seconds "I hate you Peyton and I don't normally hate anything, but you went too far"
"I have no one Brooke" Peyton started crying now "You have Nathan, Lucas has left me and is with that dirty bitch now and then Jake is with Haley. I have no one. Both of my moms are dead and my dad is always out overseas"
I didn't know if I should feel sorry for her because she brought the whole Lucas and Jake thing on herself. I do hate her for what she has done to me, but I did once care for her "I get all that Peyton, but we all gave you chances and you just throw them back in our faces, but since I'm letting my family in I can try with you too"
"Thanks Brooke" Peyton sat on the couch beside me "I missed you"
"I missed you too" I was being honest, I did miss her loads.
...
Peyton was still at the apartment at 9:00 when Nathan was getting home. We ordered pizza and just sat there like old times eating it and watching the notebook. We also had a carton of ice-cream each and just enjoyed the company. I was happy finally, I felt complete with everyone being there. I had my whole family together again. The apartment door opened and Nathan walked in. I could feel his eyes on us, but I just kept watching the film acting like he wasn't staring at us.
Nathan walked over to me and placed a kiss on my forehead still looking at Peyton. The film finished and I told Peyton she could have the spear room tonight because there was a storm heading our way and I didn't want her by herself in her big house.
"Why is she here Brooke?" Nathan asked once I was in the kitchen getting more soda
"Because I told her she can stay" I turned to face him knowing he was giving me the look, when he didn't like something "Don't look at me like that"
"Why did you tell her she can stay?" Nathan asked mad
"Yu don't understand Nathan. I have forgiven her for everything. I miss her like crazy and we have been through a lot" I told Nathan "Plus there is a storm coming our way and I am not letting Peyton stay at her house by herself"
"Fine I get it. You're friends again, but don't expect me to like her anytime soon" Nathan told me.
"I get that, but she is my friend and she is staying here" I put my foot down
"Okay. So how was your day?" Nathan changed the subject
"Good I made up with Alex and Clay and now Peyton" I told him smiling "You?"
"Good too, just hung with Luke and Jake" Nathan responded
"Cool" I walked over to the couch again where Peyton was sitting. The film had finished so we turned the TV off for a bit "So I was thinking we should name our little girl"
"Yeah I was talking about that with the guys earlier actually" Nathan nodded sitting opposite me
"Yeah so was I with Alex and Clay" I smiled at Nathan while Peyton said nothing just listening "So have you got any ideas?"
"Have you" Nathan turned the question back to me
"Yeah I have" I nodded "You?"
Nathan nodded "You go first"
"Well I was thinking Rebekah or Aubrey" I was waiting for Nathan's reaction which never came.
"Really" Nathan then kissed me and I was confused
"Yes really" I kissed him back "So you like them then?"
"Yeah I love them, I was actually thinking of those names too" Nathan laughed and I giggled "So what one we going to pick?"
"I think we should name her Aubrey Haley Scott and then if we have another girl in the future we can call her Rebekah" I answered Nathan's question
"Yeah sounds good babe" Nathan nodded and Peyton smiled
"You've always loved that name" Peyton spoke for the first time since Nathan came home
"Yeah I did" I smiled back at her "When we were younger I always said I wanted to name my first girl Aubrey" I said turning back to Nathan
"And I said I would name my first girl Ashley" Peyton remembered back then
"Yeah, wait what you saying?" I looked at her strangely
"I'm pregnant Brooke" Peyton cried
"Wait... what?" I turned to her and pulled her into a hug "Who's the father?"
Peyton pulled away and looked back at me and Nathan sat back on the couch in front of me "I felt alone and lonely when we all had that fight months ago and then I went out to a bar and met some guy, we slept together and here I am nearly 7 months pregnant" I looked back her confused. She wasn't showing that much, so how could she be nearly 7 months pregnant.
"Peyton honey, you sure you're pregnant because you're not really showing" I asked
She nodded and then started crying again "I went to the doctor and she said I was 4 months then, so I asked her why aint I showing or anything and she said it happens sometimes to pregnant women, she said I might not even show at all, but I feel the baby kicking and moving around all the time. If I didn't notice my period was late I wouldn't know now that I'm pregnant"
"Oh honey" I sighed hugging her tighter "Is this why you came here today Peyt"
She nodded and looked at me again "I missed you and I needed you. I have no one else and I just didn't want to do this alone"
"You're not alone now Peyt. I'm here for you always. Yeah we had problems, but I'm here now. We're going to be pregnant together and do this together okay"
"Yeah" Peyton smiled again "Thank you B. Davis"
"You're welcome P. Sawyer" I smiled back at her "So do you know what you're having?"
"A girl. I'm having a baby girl just like you" Peyton replied
"That is so good" I was happy that we were both having girls "So the father isn't in the picture then?"
She shook her head "No not really. I haven't told him"
"You in contact with him?" I wanted to know everything
"He calls me everyday" Peyton admitted
"So you two together?" I was getting more confused every second
"He wants to be, but I'm not so sure it would work" Peyton then looked away from me and at Nathan.
"Why you looking at me, I'm not that guy" Nathan joked
"Yeah I know that, but it's someone you know" Peyton confessed
"Okay" Nathan sat up in his seat and looked Peyton
"You're Cousin Chris" I looked at her and then looked at Nathan
"OMG you're pregnant by Chris" I literally shouted
"Yeah" She nodded
"And he wants to be with you?" I questioned. What was so wrong that Peyton couldn't be with Chris?
"Yeah, he says he really likes me and that he wants to give us a chance" Peyton began to cry again and I rubbed her back in circles soothing her.
"So what's the problem?" Nathan piped up this time not really caring Peyton and Chris are having a baby.
"We didn't only sleep together the once guys, he has been in and out of town for the past 6 months and we had been hooking up for months and then I got pregnant and I make excuses not to see him. I know I'm not showing big like I'm meant to, but I'm showing a little"
"Call him and tell him Peyton, he has the right to know" Nathan throw at her "I know my cousin and he won't walk away from you, he will want to be there for you and the baby, he would want to be with you" Nathan assured Peyton "That's the real reason you haven't told him yet, isn't it Peyt"
Peyton nodded "You think his going to leave and you won't see or hear from him again" Nathan continued when he got his answer from Peyton.
"Okay, I'll call him now" Peyton pulled out her phone and dialled the number waiting for him to pick up.
...
Taylor and Haley have become pretty close since Taylor had started dating Lucas. Not one of them had heard from Peyton or seen her since everything. They were sitting in the cafe sipping on their coffee's talking. It was late, but they decided to stop of at the all night cafe and get a coffee before heading back to Haley's for the night.
"So have you spoken to Brooke today?" Taylor asked
"Yeah she called me this morning cancelling on me saying something about she needed to see someone and that we would go grab lunch tomorrow" Haley replied
"Oh okay" Taylor sipped her coffee "I think I'm in love with Lucas" Taylor blurted out which made Haley choked on her coffee.
"Have you told him that?" Haley asked
"Nope" Taylor shook her head "I'm scared"
"I understand you being scared Tay, but you don't have to tell him straight out, you could say in the moment" Haley told Taylor who smiled at her
"You're right I could" Taylor was now thinking of when she could say it when Haley spoke up.
"So you want to come lunch with Brooke and I tomorrow?" Haley saw the smile on Taylor's face and became suspicious "What you thinking?"
"I need to go and see Luke" Taylor said getting up "Sorry Hales, I'll meet you back at yours for our sleepover and yeah I would love to go for lunch with you and Brooke tomorrow" and with that Taylor left the cafe and ran to see her boyfriend.
...
"Call him and tell him Peyton, he has the right to know" Nathan throw at her "I know my cousin and he won't walk away from you, he will want to be there for you and the baby, he would want to be with you" Nathan assured Peyton "That's the real reason you haven't told him yet, isn't it Peyt"
Peyton nodded "You think his going to leave and you won't see or hear from him again" Nathan continued when he got his answer from Peyton.
"Okay, I'll call him now" Peyton pulled out her phone and dialled the number waiting for him to pick up.
"Hello" Chris answered
"Hey Chris, it's me" Peyton responded feeling nervous as hell
"Hey baby, what's up?" Chris said
"I need to tell you something important" Peyton took deep breaths trying not to faint
"Okay, is everything okay" Chris sounded worried now
"Yeah everything's fine, but" Peyton stopped for a minute to get her breathe back
"But what?" Chris was getting worried by the minute
"I'm pregnant" Peyton blurted out
There was no response on the other line. Not a word. it went dead silence and Peyton began to panic, she started pacing with the phone to her ear praying she hadn't lost Chris at all and then she heard his voice "You're pregnant" he just about choked out.
"Yeah and I understand if you don't want me anymore or the baby. This wasn't planned and I know where young and still in school and this shouldn't have happened, but it did and I didn't tell you because I was scared you would leave me and now you will" Peyton rantd still pacing. Nathan and I watched her wanting to know what Chris will say.
"Peyton stop. I do want you still. I just want you to give us a chance and let me be here for you and I'm not mad and yeah were young, but Nathan and Brooke can do it so can we. I think I'm falling for you Peyt and I don't want to lose you ever" Chris told her as Peyton cried again
"Really?" Peyton choked out wiping her tears away
"Really, I think I'm in love with you" Chris said it. He said the three words that could make them or break them. Only time will tell I guess.
"I love you too" Peyton replied smiling
"So I'll come to you tomorrow and we can talk yeah" Chris suggested
"I would love that" Peyton nodded
"Good" Chris smiled "Now get some sleep, you and the baby need your sleep"
"Okay bye" Peyton said
"Bye baby and I love you" Chris said
"I love you too" and with that Peyton hung the phone up and sat down next to me again.
"So?" Nathan and I asked at the same time
"He said he loves me" Peyton smiled "His happy about the baby and he said that if you guys can do so can we"
"I told you he wouldn't leave you Peyton" Nathan smiled
"Thanks guys" Peyton placed a hand on her belly and felt the baby kick
"No worries" Nathan yawed
"Night girls, I'm off to bed. I'll see you in the morning Peyton" Nathan said walking towards the bedroom "See you soon beautiful" Nathan blew a kiss to me and I caught it.
"So you got a name for her yet?" I knew what she was going to call her, but I asked anyway
"Yeah" Peyton nodded "I'm naming her Ashley Brooke Scott"
"Wait why Scott?" I asked confused again
"Chris is from the Scott side of the family, his Keith's and Dan's sister's son" Peyton explained "I haven't met her, but Chris talks about her a lot. I think her name is Kara"
"Oh okay" I smiled nodding "So the spear room is set up and if you need anything help you're self to food and drink. I'm gonna go bed and I'll see you in the morning" I stood up and then stopped and rubbed my belly "Ouch"
"You okay Brooke" Peyton asked worried
"Yeah" I nodded "Aubrey just kicked that's all"
"Okay Ashley does that all the time" I nodded and then headed for bed.
...
Taylor ran to Lucas's house as it began to ran. She didn't care she was getting wet; she just needed to see him before she chickens out with the whole 'I love you' thing. When she approached his house she saw him on the door steep swing watching the rain and then he saw her and stood up.
"Taylor what you doing here?" Lucas asked, but received a strong passionate kiss by Taylor.
"I needed to see you Luke" Taylor smiled and then crashed her lips with Lucas's again. Taylor then pulled away and looked into Lucas's ocean blue eyes and smiled "I love you Luke"
Lucas looked at her in shock and then Taylor's smile faded and she looked embarrassed and pulled from his embrace and went to walk away "Where you going Tay?"
"To Haley's like I should have done half hour ago" Taylor carried on waiting and then Lucas grabbed her arm and pulled her out from the rain and back onto the porch "Luke, don't"
"I love you too Tay" Lucas leaned in and kiss lips collided with hers and she smiled when they pulled away and he brought her into a hug and they stayed like that until Taylor left and went back to Haley's like she meant to.
