Hey to all you gorgeous people...
I'm glad you all like that Brucas aren't only having a baby, but they're having two babies and I'm excited to write them into the story.
It's amazing how much ya'll hate Peyton... I mean I know what she done in the show wasn't good, but I watched the show again via box set and I became to like Leyton which is crazy because I hated them at first, but then Brulian came along and I loved them.
Peyton isn't really a bad person... We just make her out to be.
Someone had the idea of me bringing Rachel into the mix and I like that idea... I really like that idea and that idea I will think about.
Anyway here is the next chapter... ENJOY!
When I was 4 I met Peyton at kindergarten and instantly we became Bestfriends. We were attached at the hip and our parents became close too. Where ever I use to go you could bet Peyton would be behind me and via versa and I always thought that we'd always be like that... Never in a million years did I ever think that we'd apart as friends and all because of Chris Keller.
Even when Peyton told me she was moving to Tree Hill I came with her and yeah that was because I needed to get away from Chris and California, but I didn't want things to change between Peyton and I that much... I wasn't use to not having her around and if she moved that would be the end of Breyton and I wasn't ready for that.
And then she betrayed me and my trust and now we've be apart as friends for nearly 6 months and I miss her. I miss my Bestfriend and the crazy stuff we use to do. I miss the crazy banter we use to have and I miss the imperfections of her around the apartment we use to share. I just miss my Bestfriend over all, but am I willing to forgive her and become godmother to Arielle... I'm not sure.

"Lilly sweetie go grab your school bag... We'll leave soon okay" I instruct the 4 year old. She nods leaving her plate on the side and jumping down from the stool she was sat at.
"Okay Brooke" She then takes off in the direction of her room.
"Is my beautiful girlfriend and soon to be mother to my children going to come with me to the cafe today?" Lucas asks kissing the top of my head and then my growing stomach when he walks into the kitchen.
I shake my head forking some waffle into my mouth "Your beautiful girlfriend and soon to be mother of your children is going to the store to sort out the order that went wrong for the shipment to arrive next week... Then she's going to meet Peyton for lunch"
"But Doctor Valentine said you have to keep it easy" Lucas whined wrapping his arms around me from behind. His aftershave hitting my senses making me feel sick.
I push him away from me and stand up with my now empty plate and pick up Lilly's too "Lucas please stay away with that awful smell you call aftershave... The babies don't like it"
"I'm sorry baby I forgot" He apologises blowing me kisses from the other side of the kitchen
"So did you and Nate finish the nursery?" I ask sipping at my orange after I place my plate and folk and Lilly's into the dishwasher "Come on Lil... We have to go" I yell and I heard her come running back into the kitchen.
"I've got it Brooke" Lilly says holding up her bag and smiling.
"Awesome pumpkin... Go watch some TV for a little bit okay" She nodded running down to the den "So you finished the Nursery?"
"Yeah we finished one of them, but did you want us to start with a new nursery or we going to let them share?"
"Share" I reply finishing my drink "It's better that way and I won't worry so much"
"Oh you know that's a lie Pretty Girl" Lucas smiles leaning on the island away from me "You'll always worry... That's what Mom's do"
"Yeah you're right, but I still want them to share the room. That way they'll hopefully be closer as they grow up"
"Yeah because sharing a womb isn't close enough"
I roll my eyes at Lucas and chuck a dish cloth in his direction which he obviously dodges "Shut up Broody"
"If you wasn't pregnant and my aftershave didn't affect you right now I'd chase you around this house and tickle you until you couldn't breathe Pretty Girl"
I mock hurt placing my hand over my heart "Until I couldn't breathe... Lucas... I will be the mother to your children by going through so much pain... You will do no such thing" Lucas laughs shaking his head at my outburst and I chuckle along with him "Now as much as this is fun I need to get going... The store won't open without me"
"Actually it could, but you being stubborn won't let it" I walk towards him and scowl playfully at his words knowing he was only thinking about me. He wanted what was best for me and his babies... Him being concerned was normal since my last visit to the hospital Lucas wanted to make sure no more harm came to me and I love him more every day for that "Just promise me you'll take it easy okay" I nod and place a soft kiss to his lips.
"I promise" I breathe into the kiss pulling away meeting his forehead with mine "Love you"
"Love you too baby"

"And this box too Lacey" I point to the big box in the corner "All these need to be sent back to New York and they need to send over clothing 456 all of those boxes with that number okay" Lacey nods retagging the boxes for me "Please understand Lacey that these need to be sent over today and clothing 456 needs to be here by Tuesday next week"
"I understand Brooke" Lacey assures me "Everything will be sorted" She gestured over to the delivery man who had just walked in "All these go to New York okay" The guy nodded handing Lacey some post before he loaded the boxes onto the trolley he had with him. Lacey signed the form and the guy left. Lacey walked back over to me and handed me the mail "All sorted. After lunch I'll call Karleigh at New York and tell her to ship over the clothing you want so it gets her for Tuesday"
"Oh Lacey, you my darling are a life saver" I beam a smile at her bringing her into a hug "Thank you so much"
She waved it off "Anytime"
"To show my appreciation you go take an hour lunch and see that boyfriend of yours you haven't stopped talking about for days" She smiled "Go"
"Your sure Brooke" I nod and she thanks me as she leaves.
"Someone seems a little generous today" Haley says walking in the store as Lacey left "And you seem a lot happier Brooke"
"Life is looking up Hales" I reply shutting the shipment folder and placing it under the counter "Did you hear... Luke and I are having twins"
"I did. Lucas called me right after he got you home" She retorts placing her bag down on the counter "I also heard you're having one of each... Lucas told me yesterday after the appointment and Karen said she should be over hopefully by next month... Something went wrong with selling the house or something"
"Okay thanks for the update and yes we are having one of each and no Haley I will not tell you the names until I give birth to them" Her smile dropped "Oh Hales don't look so down... I mean you are going to be godmother to them" Her gaze snapped back up and her eyes locked onto mine.
"Really?" She squeals running around behind the counter bringing me into a tight bear hug "Oh my god Brooke... This is amazing"
"So that's a yes then?"
She nods "Of course"
"Good" I hug her back "I know you'll be awesome at it"
"So I told Lucas that I'll pick Lilly up from school and feed her then bring her to you tonight. Is that okay"
"Yeah sure... I think Lucas is putting the finishing touches on the Nursery. He won't let me see it until it's finished"
"Aww his always been so romantic... I've think you've made him the happiest when you walked into his life Brooke" I place both hands on my over grown belly "Thank you for walking into all our lives""
"Thank you all for accepting me" I hug her again as she sits on the stool opposite me.

Lacey had come back just in time for me to cross the road into Karen's cafe. Lucas's shift ended about an hour ago and he texted me checking in like always. I pushed open the cafe door and the bell above it chimed signalling my arrival. I looked around and couldn't see Peyton anywhere so I took a seat by the window and ordered a glass of milk that will hopefully get rid of the heart burn I seem to be having.
"Hi Brooke" I look up and see Peyton sit down in the seat opposite me putting Arielle's pram to the side rocking it back and forth.
"Hi" I smile at her running my finger along the rim of my glass
"So your having one of each Jake told me" Peyton says turning from Arielle to me.
"Peyton I can't do it" I state bringing all her attention to me "I'm sorry... I just... I can't forgive you for what you've done to me. I've tried Peyton... I've tried so hard, but I can't do it and I can't be Arielle's godmother and have you back in my life"
I saw as tears filled her eyes and my heart did slightly ache for the friendship that was officially ending. I sit here looking at the girl I use to know. Looking at the that I could tell anything too. The one person I trusted with my life after losing so much and now it's broken... I'm slightly broken. I have the one thing I've always wanted and I've lost a bestfriend. Not everything has an happy ending with everything you want right?
"Brooke please" Peyton pleads reaching out to touch my hand, but I slowly move it back and under the table "Okay just... Just listen to me okay..."
"No!" I utter looking from my glass of milk to her "You hurt me Peyton and your meant to be my bestfriend"
"I am your bestfriend Brooke... I just had a regretful moment. It meant nothing" Peyton declared her voice becoming shaky.
"That doesn't change anything" I whisper loud enough for her to hear
"But Lucas agreed to be godfather Brooke... Just think about it yeah?"
"Oh for god sake Peyton!" I shriek running a shaky hand through my hair as the other rested on my bump "You slept with my fiancé... Do you not understand that?"
"No Brooke... I do and I said I was sorry"
"Oh and that's meant to make it okay" I stand up and move myself out of the booth looking down at her "Nothing will ever make this okay Peyton" I don't wait for reply as I turn around and head out of the cafe.

"So I heard your lunch with Peyton didn't go so well?" Lucas says walking into the den
"Yeah well what did she expect... I thought about it and I decided against it" I reply changing the TV channel.
"Brooke... baby she did apologise maybe you should let it go and make up with her. I mean you guys have been friends for..."
"Are you defending her?" I questions pausing the channel and pushing myself up from the sofa.
"No... I was just..."
"You were just defending her. The girl who sleeps with her friends fiancé's" I cut in placing a hand on my hip and the other on my stomach "This is unbelievable" I mutter to myself with a mock laugh and a shake of my head "Are you sleeping with her too... Is that why you're defending her the fake blond that use to be my friend, scratch that use to be my bestfriend"
"I'm not defending her and I am defiantly not seeping with her Brooke" Lucas defends himself standing in front of me "I was just trying to help you"
"Oh yeah... What by sticking up for the girl I use to trust with everything" I retort back with a sigh.
"Again Brooke... I wasn't defending her... Please stop getting worked up and calm down a little and maybe sit"
"Don't you tell me what to do Lucas Scott" I bark at him my voice reaching a level I didn't like "How about you pack a damn bag and go move in with the little skank since you just love to endorse her actions towards me so much" I then stalk pass him and down the hall and up the stairs to my bedroom making sure to slam the door behind me.
