Well, I must say, it has been fun listening to your theories on who is going to die... and I have considered each character but have ultimately come to a decision about who will leave us for good... Some of you may hate me, some of you may love me.... You will just have to wait and see.
The death won't happen for a while though, I still have storylines lined up for each character before it does.
This Chap is also a bit of a filler, but I promise some good drama is right around the corner as well as some new love interest for our Tree Hill residents ;)
Thanks so much for the reviews BTW!
Title/Song: 'I'll be there for you' – The Rembrants
One Tree Hill
Season 7
'I'll Be There For You'
**HOSPITAL**
Brooke: Does anyone else feel like were in here every week?
Brooke, Peyton and Lucas were sitting in the maternity wards waiting room. Well really Peyton and Lucas were sitting, Brooke was pacing nervously up and down the rows between the seats
Brooke: No, seriously, they may swell name a ward after us
She threw up her hands dramatically and Lucas chuckled
Lucas: Brooke, Baby, we have been here for an hour and you haven't stop pacing
Brooke stopped on the spot and looked at him
Brooke: I'm sorry, but C'mon guys! This is a Naley baby, another cute, tiny, gorgeous NALEY BABY
She chirped excitedly
Peyton: Brooke, we get that but you can't pace all night, it's giving me a headache
Peyton, who was sitting opposite Lucas, rubbed her temples and Brooke rolled her eyes
Lucas: Brooke, just come sit down, your going to wear yourself out
Brooke sighed and nodded her head walking towards the seats, Lucas opened his arms, expecting her to sit in his lap but instead she took the seat next to him, her eyes darting warily to Peyton who seemed oblivious.
Lucas: Brrroookkkee
Lucas moaned under his breath. He understood that she didn't want to hurt Peyton but it was their engagement night and he wanted to be close to her.
Brooke: Luuuucccccaasss
Brooke hissed back, smiling as she imitated his whinny tone. Lucas couldn't help but smile at her as he leaned across the chair, wrapping one arm around Brooke's stomach, he burrowed his head into her neck, closing his eyes as he took in her sweet, honeysuckle-like scent. Brooke looked at Peyton who didn't seem to be bothered by what they were doing and then rested her chin against his head also closing her eyes as one of her hands played absentmindedly with Lucas's hair.
Peyton stared at the two and a sad smile crossed her face
~{FLASHBACK}~
Peyton: What's up?
Jake: Peyton?
Peyton: Yeah?
Jake: We need to talk...
Peyton: Uh huh?
Peyton furrowed her eyebrows as she looked up at him in confusion
Jake: Peyt, you know that I love you right? I REALLY love you..
Peyton: Yes Jake...and I love you too...
Jake: Just remember that
Peyton: Jake, your scaring me
He moved a piece of hair from her face and looked into her eyes
Jake: Peyt, Nikki's pregnant....
Peyton looked shocked
Peyton: WOW! Jake, that girl is fertile! I didn't even know she was dat-
Her face dropped as she looked at Jake
Peyton: Oh My God...
Jake: Peyton-
Peyton: You slept with her?
Peyton had gotten of his lap and was now standing in front of him, arms crossed
Jake: Yes.. But it was before we got together!
Peyton calmed down a little and her face softened
Peyton: How long before?
Jake: A month
Peyton sat back down next to him
Peyton: Jake, hunny... that's OK... I mean I can't believe you slept with HER but it's not like you cheated..
Jake: I have to be there for the baby....
Peyton: I know, we can work it out, Jake I love you and as long as you still love me we can work this out, all of it..
Jake smiled at Peyton
Jake: I do love you Peyton, more than you will ever know, but there's more...
~{END OF FLASHBACK}~
Brooke: Peyton? Peyton?
Peyton was shocked out of her thoughts by Brooke's voice
Peyton: What?
Lucas was still nuzzled into Brooke, his hand lying protectively around her stomach
Brooke: I asked if you wanted to go home... we can take it from here... I can call you if-
But before she got the chance to finish she had stood up, surprising Lucas who nearly feel out of his chair, racing over to where Nathan now stood just inside the doorway.
Brooke: Oh My God! How is she?
Nathan smiled as Lucas and Peyton got up and joined Brooke
Nathan: She's doing really well, so far but she is dilating really slowly...
Brooke: How far is she?
Nathan: Three
Behind her Peyton moaned, Lucas looked confused
Lucas: How far does she need to be?
Brooke chuckled at his question
Brooke: God Broody... clueless much? Good thing were adopting....
Both Nathan and Lucas looked a her, confused
Brooke: Ten, Lucas, she needs to be ten centimetres dilated before she can start giving birth and Nathan why the hell are you looking at me like that? You should know-
Nathan: No, Brooke, it's not that... you guys are adopting?
A smile spread over both Lucas and Brooke's lips
Brooke: Yeah, I spoke to child services today and Angie's little sister will be with us hopefully within the month
Nathan smiled and wrapped Brooke into a hug before clapping Lucas on the back
Nathan: Congratulations guys
Brooke: Yeah, thanks Nate
Peyton: You think you might have wanted to mention to me?
Brooke turned around and gave a huge sigh of relief as she saw a huge smile plasttered on Peyton's face. Peyton hugged both her friends.
Peyton: So you guys.. Parents?
Lucas: Yep
Nathan: You'll be great and Jamie will be so excited, not only will he have a little sister but now also a little cousin... all the power will go to his head
The group chuckled and then Nathan looked around the waiting room
Nathan: Speaking of my son.. where is he and Sawyer?
Brooke: OH Deb and Skillz took them home, she said-
But before Brooke had the chance to finish her sentence a loud shriek pierced her ears and she turned to see Peyton, eyes wide, staring at her
Brooke: What?
Peyton just pointed at her, mouth hanging open, eyes darting from her to Lucas
Peyton: Brooke Penelope Davis! What the hell is that on your finger?
Brooke looked down 'shit'. In the midst of all the pregnancy stuff she had completely forgotten about the ring. She bit her lip and looked guiltily at Peyton.
Brooke: Peyt, I'm sorry I didn't want to upset you-
Peyton: Upset me? Brooke!! Are you guys getting married?
Brooke saw the genuine happiness in her friends eyes and smiled herself
Brook: Yeah, he proposed tonight
Lucas wrapped his arms around Brooke and kissed the top of her head
Lucas: Brooke Davis will finally be all mine
Brooke: And Lucas Scott will be all MINE
As Brooke and Peyton jumped up and down together in excitement Nathan congratulated Lucas
Nathan: Wow.. who ever thought, years down the tract, Davis and Scott.. getting married
Lucas: I know
He smiled watching Brooke hug her friend as Peyton grabbed her hand, getting a closer look at the ring
Peyton: It isn't?
Peyton looked at Brooke in astonishment
Brooke: It is!
Another round of shrieks
Nathan: What?
Both Brooke and Peyton ignored him
Lucas: Peyton drew that ring for Brooke when they were younger, Brooke showed it to me when we were dating senior year
Nathan rolled his eyes
Nathan: Dude! Could you be anymore whipped right now?
Lucas: Says the one standing in a maternity ward all anxious about his wives SECOND Pregnancy
Nathan: Shut up
Lucas smirked
Nathan: Hey Davis
Brooke looked up at him
Nathan: Guess that means were practically brother and sister now
He winked at her
Brooke: Oh god.... a sex tape with my brother.. gross
A shiver ran up Lucas's spine as he thought back to that day long, long ago when they had found that particular tape
Nathan: Brooke.. really?
Brooke: I'm totally kidding, soon-to-be-a-father-again boy, ILCH
Lucas: Ilch?
Brooke: Means Chill, all the cool kids are saying it
Lucas: Brooke, you are aware that your not seventeen anymore, you can't use slang
Brooke crossed her arms and stared daggers at him
Lucas: But you are still as gorgeous as you were when you were seventeen
Brooke smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek
Nathan: Lamest save ever...
Brooke: Why are you so grumpy? Besides, it's our engagement night, I think I'll give him a pass
Peyton: Technically your engagement night ended three minutes ago
She pointed to the clock and Brooke groaned
Lucas: Don't worry, we never got an engagement 'day' so this can be ours
Brooke: Luke, your so sweet
Both Nathan and Peyton rolled their eyes
Nathan: Anyway..
He said before Brooke and Lucas could get into a 'tongue wrestle'
Nathan: Haley kicked me out she wants to speak to you Brooke and you may swell tell her about ALL this while your there
Brooke nodded, turning to Lucas she gave him a quick kiss
Brooke: Room number?
Nathan: 208
Brooke: OK, Be back
She gave Lucas a quick wink before heading out the doors
**ROOM 208**
Brooke: Haley...
Brooke entered room 208, smiling at her friend as she walked up to her bed
Haley: Brooke..
Brooke: Nathan said you wanted to talk to me...
Haley: I wanted to ask you something
Brooke: Yeah?
Haley: Would you be godmother?
Brooke's smile widened
Brooke: Hales.. I would love to be, but are you sure? I mean I'm Jamie's godmother and Peyton-
Haley: Brooke I love Peyton and she is a great friend.. but during both Jamie's pregnancy and this one you have been like my rock, I always knew I could count on you and come to you with anything. You pretended to be pregnant for me, you helped me hide my pregnancy from Nathan until I was ready and if you never talked to him I don't know if he ever would have come back
Brooke: He would have, he loves yo-
Haley: You were first to know about it both times so it is you Brooke that I want to be godmother not Peyton
A few tears fell down Brooke's face
Brooke: Oh Haley, I would love to... and I swear I will love that kid like my own
Haley: I know you will Brooke, cause your like that with Jamie and your going to make an EXCELLENT mother
Brooke looked at her in confusion
Brooke: How did you-
Haley: I knew from the moment Lucas told me you had the option of adopting Angie's sister, you have a good heart Brooke.. never lose that, Promise?
Brooke nodded
Brooke: I promise as long as you never lose yours either...
Haley nodded as Brooke hugged her
Brooke: Oh and there's something else...
Haley: Yeah?
Brooke smiled, biting her lip for a moment before she held up her hand, showing the ring and then both girls were screaming.
