…
"You told him?! Wow! That's exciting news Brooke!"
"Exciting? Are you crazy Hales?!" she laughed "That was the one of the scariest things I had to do by far!"
"That's true, but don't you feel a whole lot better now that you did Tigger?"
Brooke stayed quiet as she thought to herself "Yeah I do" she smiled "There are no more secrets between us; I told him the truth about everything" she replied not realizing that her friends didn't know what everything meant
"Everything?" asked Haley
"Yeah" she shook her head knowing that Haley couldn't see here through the phone "which reminds me by the way that we have a lot, and I mean a lot to talk about Tutor mom" she said smiling as she played with her gorgeous ring on her finger
"You don't know how happy it makes me feel to hear you say that" she sighed "Tell me though, that everything is okay Brooke"
Silence
"As of right now, in this moment it's perfect Hales but when it comes to everything else" she paused as her best friend listened intently "it will in time okay?"
"Okay" she smiled "So tell me how did my B.I.L take the news?"
"Amazingly well, he's on cloud 9!" she exclaimed ecstatically
"See I told you, he loves you honey. You guys are going to be incredible parents"
"Thank you" beamed the brunette "He's making me lunch right now since my morning sickness didn't let me eat breakfast. He pretty much lectured me on eating, telling me that I have two mouths to feed instead of one" Haley chuckled
"He's right you know; but let me tell you, you'll be experiencing a whole lot of morning sickness throughout your pregnancy"
"Ugh" she grunted causing Haley to laugh "Just perfect"
"Go eat"
"Alright, I'll see you in a little bit. Luke and I will stop by after the appointment to pick up JimiJam since we have to pick up Lily and Jenny too."
"Okay Tigger" they hung up "What are you doing here?" she heard Lucas ask again
"I-I uh came to see Brooke; is she here?"
"Everything okay?" asked the cheery brunette as she made her way towards the door.
Lucas open the door wider as Brooke peeked her head out "L-Lindsey, what are you doing here?" she asked surprised
…
"P-Pregnant?"
She nodded "W-Well the tests I took says so"
"Am I?"
"Yes Jake" she replied as she couldn't make eye contact with him
"H-How far along; H-How are you feeling?"
She chuckled not knowing why as tears streamed down her face "I-I don't know; I think 6 ½ – 7 ½ weeks"
"What do you mean you don't know Peyton?" he asked confused
"I don't know because I just found out Jake" she exclaimed "I-I can't even think straight right now"
"Peyton its' going to be okay; I'm going to-"
"No, don't say it Jake" she shook her head "I-I can't do this! I-I'm not ready to be a mother; I'm only 24- how am I going to be someone else's mother when I-I can't even keep mine! I-I'm not ready for this" she sobbed as it broke Jake's heart. "I-I need my moms; I-I need my best friend" she shouted into his chest as he rubbed circles along her back "I-I just need you" she cried as he held her tighter
"Shhhh, shhhh its' going to be okay; I'm right here Peyton. I'm not going anywhere I promise"
…
"I actually came to see you" she replied "I was wondering if we could talk"
Silence
"Talk; what is there to talk about Lindsey?"
"Please Brooke"
Silence
Brooke could tell from her eyes that she was actually being sincere "Okay" She nodded "Come in"
"Brooke? Do you really think that's a good idea; you don't need anymore stress" he warned looking at her questionably
"I know, its' okay Lucas; no stressing promise" she smiled rubbing his back as he stepped aside to let his ex fiancée in. He kissed her temple before he headed back towards the kitchen "So what brings you to my neck of the woods?"
"I-I'm sorry" she said as it caught Brooke and Lucas off guard
"Lindsey if you're apologizing because you feel guilty about what happened-" said Brooke as she held up her hand to restrain the blonde from continuing
"I'm apologizing for kissing Lucas that night at the river court" she said looking over at her ex-fiancé "I was still hurting and upset that you moved on so fast that I thought that you were back with-"
"Peyton?"
She nodded "I hated myself for hurting you Brooke and I felt that I owe you an apology. In the short period of time that we got to know each other, I considered you a really good friend and I know it doesn't seem like it but it's the truth. It wasn't just because you were important to Lucas, but it was because you were kind, sweet, caring and you accepted me regardless of your loyalty to Peyton. Regardless of what happened, I knew I was fighting a losing battle and as much as it hurts I want you both to be happy"
Brooke and Lucas were both taken back; speechless even as she turned to lock eyes with him. He sent her a- "I dunno; your call" shrug even though he knew she was going to give her the benefit of the doubt.
"Lindsey I feel the same way; I do" she replied sincerely "I want you to know that Lucas and I never planned on hurting you or even Peyton in that matter. It was never my intentions or plan to "keep Lucas" she said using air quotations "to myself" Lindsey nodded as Lucas silently chuckled "I guess we just had a lot of miscommunications an-"
"And misunderstandings" added Lucas as Brooke agreed
"That stood in our way"
"I know, I understand" she replied "Honestly Brooke, that never even crossed my mind" Brooke gave her a genuine smile "You know" she chuckled "All this time I thought it was Peyton who had this hold on Lucas's heart but in reality it was you Brooke" she said out loud as Brooke and Lucas smiled at one another "I should have known when I found that box of your stuff in his closet that you were theone"
"I'm sorry Lindsey, I am" said the brooding blonde as he walked over and sat next to Brooke "Like Brooke said, it was never my intentions either to hurt you, Peyton or even jump from one girl to another"
"I know Luke" she nodded
"Brooke is the one for me" he said sincerely "and I think we should tell you before you find out from others that we're engaged"
"Not that I'm shocked or surprised, but that's great; I'm really happy for you both"
"That's uh not all" he said locking eyes with his pretty girl as she squeezed his hand "We're going to have a baby" Lindsey's mouth dropped open
Silence
They were now feeling a little uncomfortable from the silence
"C-Congratulations" said Lindsey still staggered. She was happy for them; she was even though she felt her heart shatter even more. "You two will be amazing parents" she smiled
"Thank you" they both replied in unison as the room once again fell silence
"Okay, well I came to say what I needed to say and now I have a flight to catch" she said getting up to her feet.
"Are you going back to New York?"
"Yes" she nodded "Work awaits. We're going to be okay right?" she asked
"Yes" replied Brooke as she stood up and gave her a friendly-warm sincere hug "You're an amazing woman Lindsey Strauss"
"As you are Brooke Davis"
"I hope that this doesn't stop you from keeping me as your editor Lucas" said Lindsey as they pulled away from a hug
"Nothing against you Lindsey" he said "But Brooke and I have a lot to discuss and you can count on that being one of them"
She nodded in understanding
…
"Peyton" said Jake after 30mins of finally calming her down
"Hmmm" she asked as she stayed snuggled up against his chest as they sat on the couch in her office
"I love you"
"Jake-"
"No" he said as he placed a finger against her lips. "It's the truth. I know that I've hurt you in the past by always picking up Jenny and running; but right now, right here at this moment in my life I'm not running anymore Peyton- I'm done"
She sat up as they locked eyes
"I'm not going anywhere; not without you" he said as he cupped her cheeks as tears welded up in her eyes. "You're the first girl I've ever truly given my heart too; and I've realized that after all those long lonely years without you in my life; by my side it's been hell. Jenny and I" he said as he pushed back a strand of her hair behind her ears "we love you Peyton; more than anything. We need you in our lives, so please don't push us; me away. This baby" he said as he placed his hand on her stomach which surprised her "is a blessing. I couldn't be happier to have a baby with you Peyton especially since it was created out of love; we might have been drunk but part of us always loved each other. I know its' scary and you don't have your mom or even Brooke but you have me and your friends and family. Your friendship with Brooke will come around; just give it some time you'll see. People may always leave, but they come back in the end Peyton; just have faith. I love you, and I'm not going anywhere, so get use to it. Give us a chance to have a family" he begged
Silence
"I love you Jake, I always have and always will, but" she replied as tears streamed down her cheeks. "I've been so lost and so confused; I've ruined friendships and relationships because of it. I'm a horrible person" she exclaimed.
"Pey-" it was her turn now to press a finger to his lips silencing him
"I don't know if Brooke or Lucas will ever forgive me for my selfishness" she sighed ashamed "And to be honest I don't blame them because we all know I-I don't deserve it; but I do know one thing, and that is- I've always loved you! My heart, it belongs to you and only you, but I don't know if it can handle another-" she said as tears slide down her cheeks.
"There won't be; I swear to you Peyton. Its' you, me and our babies; no one will come in between us. I promise. We'll be a family.
"Oh Jake" she replied as she brushed her lips against his as he deepened it. "We need to take things slow because I don't know if I'm ready to fully jump back into a relationship yet"
He nodded "Anything for you Peyton" he replied as he caressed her cheek
"I-I have a doctor's appointment in about 2 hours; can you come with me?"
"Wouldn't have it any other way"
"I love you so much Jake, please don't ever leave me" she begged
"I love you Peyton Sawyer; so much" he smiled as they were forehead to forehead. He then wrapped his arms around her tighter as she snuggled up against him. "Never; I promise" he replied as she nodded "So we're going to have a baby?!" he asked excited as he jumped up pulling her up with him.
"We're going to have a baby" she replied as he wrapped his arms around her spinning her in circles as she laughed "I-I'm scared"
"You'll be a great mother Peyton"
She smiled lovingly at him "Lets' go see Jenny; I miss my little girl"
He nodded "She misses you too" he smiled
…
"Hi, I have an appointment with Dr. Adams today" smiled Brooke as Lucas found them seats
"Hi, welcome. I'm Sarah; I have some paperwork for you to fill out so if you have any questions please feel free to ask" explained the receptionist
"Thank you" replied Brooke as she walked over and sat next to Lucas "Name" she read out loud "Brooke Penelope Davis-"
"Soon to be Scott" smirk Lucas as Brooke smiled excitedly. He then leaned over as he brushed his lips against hers. "I love you"
"I love you too" she smiled patting his thigh as he rubbed circles along her back
30minutes later after paperwork and some blood work, Brooke was changed and sitting on the exam table waiting for the doctor to arrive. Her eyes wandered around the room as she kept pulling at her paper gown annoyed
Lucas sat in the chair next to the exam table as he picked up a parenting magazine. He listened to her inhale, exhale, huff n puff as he smiled "Okay what's wrong pretty girl?" he asked chuckling as he walked over and stood right in front of her
"Other than being nervous and scared; its' cold, I hate this stupid paper gown thingy and the doctor's 45mins late Luke" she sighed
He smiled cupping her cheeks with his hand as he stared deep into her beautiful hazel eyes, trying his best to comfort her. "Take a deep breath and relax pretty girl. I know you're scared, trust me so am I but as long as we're together everything will be okay" she nodded as she took a deep breath "The doctor will be here soon and before you know it, we'll be on our way to pick up the kids"
"OoOoOh I can't wait" she squealed clapping her hands together excitedly "We're going to have so much fun" he grinned "I love you broody" she said as she wrapped her arms around his waist as he leaned down and kissed her passionately
"I love you too pretty girl" he said kissing her on the forehead as she snuggled up against his chest "Better?" he asked
"Uhuuuhhhhhmmmmmm much" she replied as he rubbed circles along her back
"Knock, knock" smiled Dr. Adams as she walked in with a nurse in tow. She was a middle-aged woman with beautiful long blonde hair who made a very good first impression "Good afternoon, Mrs. Davis and Mr," she said in a sweet, cheery tone looking from Brooke to Lucas
"Hi" smiled Brooke
"Scott; Lucas Scott" he replied extending his hand out to greet hers
"Mr. Scott" she nodded "I'm Dr. Melanie Adams. I'm so sorry to keep you both waiting, but I ran into an emergency and it took longer than I expected"
"Its' no problem" they replied in unison
"So Brooke, it says you think you might be pregnant?" asked Dr. Adams as she reviewed her paperwork
"Yes; more believing than thinking" she replied as the doctor smiled
"So tell me what's going on?"
"Well I've been feeling different for the last month or so"
"Different? As in how"
"Well I've been extremely tired, moody, and emotional like I'm on a roller coaster-Nauseous, I get headaches that come and go, I have weird food cravings that totally gross me out but it tastes so good" both Lucas and the doctor laughed "and I've noticed that my breasts are sorer and tender than normal"
Lucas was surprised to hear some of the things she listed off since he never got to see her go through it.
"I see. So when was your last menstrual cycle?"
"The middle of October"
"Any bleeding; spotting?" she asked as she continued writing down notes
Brooke thought about it "Uh there was a little spotting at the beginning. Is that normal?"
"Yes, most ladies if they are pregnant will experience a little bleeding or spotting 6-12 days after"
Just then a nurse came in as she handed the doctor some paperwork "Thank you" she replied as she reviewed it "Your test results are in, so lets take a look shall we"
They nodded eagerly as they locked eyes
"Yup, yes you're right Brooke, you are without a doubt-absolutely pregnant; congratulations to you both" smiled Dr. Adams
"We're pregnant?" Brooke exclaimed excitedly as she squeeze Lucas's hand
"We're pregnant" he replied caressing her cheek "You're sure?" he asked once again as Dr. Adams laughed
"I'm sure, she's pregnant. So is this your first pregnancy?"
"Uh 2nd" Brooke replied as her face fell "I-I had a miscarriage about 6 years ago" her smile faded away "The doctor said there was nothing I could have done to prevent it from happening"
"I'm sorry to hear that Brooke" Dr. Adams replied as she patted her knee. "That's true, most of the time you can't, but we're going to observe you carefully for this pregnancy-"
"Why is something wrong?" asked Lucas alarmed
"No, nothing's wrong. It's just a precaution we take for woman who's a miscarriage" They nodded "The first 3 months are very critical meaning that any stress is not good for the mommy or baby. If you're not careful" she said looking at them
"We understand" replied Brooke as she looked over at Lucas nervously as he kissed her hand
"Dr. Adams" he said as Brooke looked down at her feet "You're sure; 100 percent sure that Brooke's pregnant right now?"
She eyed him as she tried to read them both "Yes Mr. Scott; Mrs. Davis is pregnant. I'm 100 percent positive; her blood work shows it" Brooke and Lucas sighed in relief
"Is there something I should know about?" she asked the couple now worried as she placed Brooke's chart on her lap."
Lucas nodded, urging her to explain as he squeezed her hand "You see I-I was A-Attacked and s-sexually assaulted in my store a few weeks ago and I-I; we're just afraid that" she took a deep breath "it could have hurt the baby" she explained as tears streamed down her cheeks
"Yeah; we're more worried now getting the confirmation from you since we didn't know Brooke was pregnant at that time it incident happened" he added
"Oh my heavens, I'm so sorry sweetheart" she said squeezing the young woman's free hand "You said it happened a few weeks ago?"
She nodded
"Well seeing that quite some time has passed and it does show that you are indeed still pregnant, I'd say god has blessed you both with this baby because in reality you would have lost it by now; that's why they say the first 3 months are most critical"
"So-"
"But b-baby B-Brucas is okay right" she asked as her hand automatically went to her stomach "because you said that I-I'm pregnant and this happened-" Brooke choked out
"Yes everything as of right now is fine Brooke" she said comforting the brunette as Lucas took a deep breath "And to make sure you stay pregnant, no stressing out and you daddy" she said looking over at Lucas "Make sure mommy here takes it easy. I don't know how much more I can emphasise that the first 3 months of pregnancy is the most critical, so anything you do not only affects you, but it affects the baby Scott too"
"We understand" she replied as tears glided down her cheeks
"Trust me Dr. Adams, you have my word" he smiled "This baby means the world to us" he said placing his hand on her tummy as he spoke
"Good, okay. Well I'm going to examine you Brooke and we'll do an ultrasound to see if we can see how baby Scott's doing"
"Baby Brucas" she corrected as Lucas chuckled to the nickname as he kissed her temple.
"Baby Brucas?" she asked
"Long story short; Brooke loves to give nicknames; she's done it with everyone she loves since high school and she still does it now" he chortle
"What it's cute" she said in defense "Brooke+Lucas= Brucas" she smiled as Dr. Adams couldn't help but admire the couple "You see, Baby Brucas was created from the love Lucas and I have for one another so until we find out his or her sex that's what we're going to call our baby"
"That is sweet; Baby Brucas it is" she smiled "I'll write you a prescription for your prenatal vitamins, and then, you can go home. Sound good?" she asked
"Sounds perfect" Brooke said in an impatient-happy tone
"Okay. Scoot down for me and place your feet here and we'll get the fun stuff started" she joked as she pulled on a pair of gloves.
…
"Hi come on in. God, I've missed you guys" she smiled embracing each of them
"Hi Karen" they replied in unison. "We've missed you too"
"Jenny, look at you sweetheart; getting so big. You're more beautiful than I remember. Lily's in her room" she smiled said good bye to Jake and Peyton as she ran off
"Thanks for letting me bring her by Karen; it was all she can talk about" he chuckled as Peyton's mind was somewhere else.
"That's no problem" she smiled. "It's been so long since I've seen you kids; god I remember when you use to bring her into work when you were in high school" They heard giggles
"Yeah that feels like it was just yesterday" he chuckled
"When life was so much easier" added Peyton
"So how are you honey?" she asked taking the curly blonde's hand into her own "I haven't seen you since I've gotten into town; how's your dad?"
"I'm good thanks" she smiled "I know I actually just got back from seeing him. He's good; busy. It's nice to see you finally home in Tree hill Karen." She replied squeezing her hand "It's not the same without you here"
"It's good to be home, let me tell you"
"Does that mean you guys are staying?" asked Jake
"We are. We've missed so much from being away and I've realized that I want Lily to grow up here where her family and friends are not to mention I want her to get to know what a great man her father Keith was"
"And he was" they both replied as Karen patted both their hands "Oh!" Jake snapped his finger "I forgot Jenny's sleeping bag in the car, I'll be right back" he said as he excused himself
"Peyton, honey are you okay?" Karen asked as she realized the curly blonde wasn't acting like herself
"Everything's fine" she replied unable to look her in the eyes.
Karen didn't buy it "You know I haven't seen nor spoken to you and Brooke in so long, how about we all grab some coffee together?"
Peyton shifted in her seat "Brooke and I, we're not; we aren't really on speaking terms at the moment" she sighed looking down at her fingers
"I'm sorry honey" she said squeezing Peyton's hand. "It'll get better I promise. How about we catch up and grab some coffee say tomorrow?"
"That sounds perfect" she smiled as Jake returned
"Well, we've got to get going now if we don't want to be late" Peyton nodded "Thanks again Karen, well see you later" she nodded as they said good byes.
…
Lucas stood there next to Brooke's head as he moved her hair from her eyes placing a soft kiss on her forehead
"You know, its' always nice to see daddy joining mommy at these appointments because they're usually a little scary and uncomfortable so daddy" she smiled at the pair "you earn big points for being here" they chuckle
"Lucas is amazing" beamed Brooke "I don't know what I would do without him"
"You'll never have to find out pretty girl" he whispered against her forehead as she smiled
"Okay this is going to feel uncomfortable Brooke" she said as she started the examination
25minutes later-
"Okay everything looks good, so lets move on to the ultrasound portion"
"Is this going to hurt the baby?" asked Lucas as he watched the nurse hand her the instruments
"Not at all" she smiled
"Okay Brooke lift up your shirt for me" instructed Dr. Adams "this is going to feel cold" she nodded as Lucas was now up on his feet intertwining his fingers with Brookes. Dr. Adams took the droplet and moved it all around on top of her stomach
"Does it hurt?" Lucas whispered
"No it doesn't Broody; it's just cold, stop worrying" she laughed as he nodded
"Okay baby Sc-Brucas, mommy and daddy want to see you" she said out loud as her eyes continued to examine the monitor "Okay, you see that, right there?" she asked
They turned their heads towards the monitor to what she was pointing at as they saw the tiniest, most beautiful little peanut in the world as tears streamed down mommy to be cheeks "That's my baby. Lucas look," she exclaimed amazed once she found her voice "T-That's-
"T-That's our baby," he gasped as tears welded up in his own eyes "That's our baby"
"You're about 7 ½ weeks along. Baby Brucas will be approx 13mm in length at the end of the week which means he or she will be the size of a grape. Since your so petite Brooke you won't be sporting your baby bump just yet, but have no fear you will in a few weeks in time or so"
"I can't wait; Hales had the cutest one not to mention I'll get to wear maternity clothes" She gasps
"Baby what's wrong?" Lucas asked alarmed as his eyes darted back to her
"I just had a brilliant idea! I'm so going to design my own maternity line; it'll be a hit" she exclaimed
Lucas laughed as Dr. Adams smiled "When can we hear baby Brucas's heartbeat Dr Adams?"
"Or know the sex?" chimed in Brooke excitedly
"Heartbeat I'd say on your next appointment; and as for the sex of the baby probably in a few weeks" they nodded in awe
"Speaking of Sex?" Lucas raised his eyebrow at his pretty girl as he turned a slight red
"Brooke-" he exclaimed as his eyes widen in horror
"Well its' not like you were going to ask Broody and with my hormones being out of wack you just never know" Dr Adams chuckle
"Mommy's right you know. Sex is a normal thing; most dads might feel weird about it but you won't hurt the baby and it's a good thing to please mommy" she said patting his arm
"Yes it is" Brooke nodded giggling "See Broody" replied Brooke as she patted his hand kinking her eyebrow at him as he shook his head laughing.
"You can expect to continue with morning sickness" she started saying as she wiped off the Ultrasound gel and pulled down Brooke's shirt
"Uhhh" groaned Brooke
"I know, I'm sorry; it's not fun. The tiredness, and nausea, mood swings, back aches, cravings, bathroom breaks; and everything else will continue to take place. Your body will continue to change as the baby grows so expect to gain weight"
"Oh boy" exclaimed Lucas out loud in his head
"You know as long as baby Brucas is healthy I don't care how much weight I gain" she smiled as she placed her hand on her tummy. "Besides I can work off my baby fat right?"
"Right" replied Dr. Adams as Lucas watched her in awe "It's good for mommy and daddy to take regular walks and exercise daily; but no over doing it."
"I'll make sure" replied Lucas
"Good. Well it looks like we're going to get to meet Baby Brucas sometime in July" they held hands as tears once again welded up in her eyes. "So is there any questions or concerns you have for me?" asked Dr. Adams as she closed up Brooke's chart
"No" replied Brooke as Lucas nodded "I think you've answered everything thing so far"
"Wonderful, well like I said Brooke" this time more sternly "no stressing, get plenty of rest, no skipping on meals; you're eating for two now, and get plenty of exercise"
"Thank you" they replied nodding
"Perfect! You can go ahead and get changed. I'll write out your prescriptions and I'll have it ready for you out at the desk. Make your next appointment and I'll see you in a couple of weeks"
As they waited for the prescription, Lucas pulled his pretty girl in for a warm loving hug "I love you" he whispered in her ear; placing a kiss on her neck as it sent chills down her spine.
"I love you too Broody" she giggled as she wrapped her arms around his neck pulling him in for a long warm hug as she rubbed his back. "We're going to have a baby" she whispered against his ear as she placed a kiss right under it. The receptionists couldn't help but admire in awe at the two.
"You ready?" She nodded "Lets' go home"
"Lucas, Brooke?" exclaimed Jake as he and Peyton walked into the lobby of the OBGYN's office.
"Hey man" said Lucas as they did their guy handshake. Brooke and Peyton said their awkward hellos just like last night at the airport
"Brooke" said Jake as he pulled her into a warm hug; Peyton and Lucas just nodded at each other unable to make eye contact
"I'm going to uh go check in" said Peyton
"Yeah and we've uh" Just then her phone rang as a smile formed at her face "I'm going to take this" she said as both guys nodded towards their loved ones
"So Luke, are you guys-?"
"Yeah man" he exclaimed excitedly "She's about 7 ½ weeks"
"Congrats to you both"
"Thanks, are you guys-?"
"We're going to find out" he beamed looking over towards Peyton "But we'd say so" he smiled
"Well congrats; you're seeing Dr. Adams right?" Jake nodded "She's great, she made Brooke feel really comfortable. We highly recommend her"
"Thanks man; okay well Jenny's at Karen's waiting for you guys, so have fun"
"See you later" they did their guy handshake as they departed ways
…
"Okay, so here's the deal" he said as the kids listened intently "2 movies-"
"Which you all have to agree on by the way" added Brooke as Lucas nodded
"Popcorn and 1 candy each of your desired choice"
"Or you can skip the candy and we all can go out for ice cream after the movie" said Brooke
"But it's one or the other; so you guys have to agree on it"
"Yessss!" they exclaimed excitedly
"How about transformers or pokemon" shouted Jamie
"How about Hannah Montana?" exclaimed Jenny
"What about Prinwess or Helwo Kitty? Wait for me guys" cried Lily as Brooke and Lucas chuckled at the trio as they scurried off
"Come on Pretty girl its' referee time" he smiled as he extended out his hand for her to grab
"Lead the way handsome" she replied
25minutes later after yelling, pouting and arguing to where Lucas threatened to rent 1 movie or nothing at all they came to an agreement on Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar and candy instead of ice cream. They were now on their way back to Brooke's as they waited for the pizza's to arrive.
After dinner
"Okay guys, why don't you go ahead and change into your pj's and meet us in the living room" he instructed as Brooke got up and started clearing up dishes. He smiled, shaking his head as he walked up behind her snaking his arms around her waist. "And what may I ask are you doing pretty girl?" he whispered into her ear as it sent a chill down her spine.
"I, Broody am cleaning up the kitchen while they change" she smiled as she relaxed into his embrace
"I'll clean up in here, why don't you go change and meet me in the living room"
"Luke, baby I can help you know" she chuckled turning around to face him "Its just paper plates/cups and napkins" she smirked holding them up to show him "It's nothing"
"I know, but you've had a long tiring day. It's time you take it easy, so up you go"
"But Luke-"
"No buts!" he said taking the trash from her hands as she wrapped her arms around his neck
"I love you, you know that?" she smiled
He nodded "I love you and baby Brucas" he replied rubbing his hands gently along her still flat stomach as he brushed his lips against hers
"HMmMmMm" she moaned deepening it as they lost themselves in their heated passionate kiss
"Ewwww" exclaimed the kids moments later as they ran in; startling the adults as the girls giggled
"Come on we're ready Uncle Lucas" shouted Jamie as they ran off
They broke out into laughter as Lucas kissed her forehead still not moving as he wanted to hold his pretty girl a little bit longer "I miss this"
"Well I'm here, I'm not going anywhere" she said cupping his face with her hands as she pulled him into another kiss.
"Good, because I don't know what I'd do without you or baby brucas" he replied caressing her cheeks
"Well you, Lucas Eugene Scott will never have to find out; I promise. God when did we become so cheesy" he laughed
"After everything we've gone through pretty girl, I'd say its okay for us to be cheesy"
"Aunt Brooke/Uncle Lucas/Aunt Broowkie/Luwkie!" they yelled in unison as it echoed throughout the house
"You'd think the whole block heard them" she chuckled
"Get them set up, I'll make popcorn"
...
"Hi Peyton, I'm Dr. Melanie Adams and you must be daddy to be?" she asked smiling extending her hand out to them both
"Yes, hi I'm Jake" he replied shaking her hand
"I'm so sorry for the delay"
"That's okay" they both replied in unison
"You know, the good thing about it is that while you both were patiently waiting for me, your test results came in"
"That's great" said Jake as he walked over and stood right next to Peyton taking her hand into his.
She smiled up at him squeezing his hand as she felt butterflies in her stomach. She took a deep breath as her heart started beating rapidly.
"Well Peyton, you are definitely pregnant. Congratulations to you both" she smiled
"We're pregnant Jake" she finally smiled as he wrapped his arms around her
"You know you're the second couple today out of the 4 I've seen that daddy joins mommy for her appointments" she smiled "You get bonus points for that"
"Oh then the other couple you're referring to is our friends Brooke and Lucas" said Jake as she nodded "We ran into them as they were leaving, and they were saying good things about you. You're highly recommended"
"Awww, well they're a sweet couple"
"Peyton, what are you doing out here?"
"Okay so I'm going to do an examination, as well as an ultrasound to check on baby Jagelski" they nodded "then I will write a prescription for your prenatal vitamins Peyton and then you're be free to go once you've made your next appointment. Sound good?"
"Sounds good" she nodded as Jake squeezed her hand
"We're going to have a baby Peyton"
"Peyton?"
"Huh?" she asked as his voice pulled her back into reality
"I asked what you're doing out here" he smiled wrapping a jacket around her shoulders as he sat down next to her on the front porch "It's freezing"
She shivered to the cool breeze "Thanks" she smiled pulling it tighter around her
"What's going on? You've been really quiet"
"Oh nothing I just wanted some fresh air"
"Sawyer"
She sighed "I'm just scared; what if I'm a horrible mother Jake, god what if I'm a failure?" she asked as tears welded up in her eyes
"Peyton stop" he said turning her to face him "Do you remember how great you were with Jenny?" he asked "And she wasn't even yours. Do you remember that time when I finally brought her home and she came down with a fever as we were getting ready to go out?"
"Yeah" she nodded
"What did you give me?"
Silence
"Money for you to take her to the doctors"
"Exactly; you didn't have to do that. She wasn't your problem. You could have said tough luck and I wouldn't have blamed you one bit. She was my responsibility not yours"
"I know, I may have not been her biological mother Jake, but I've always loved her like my very own"
"See that's a mother's instinct Peyton. Our baby is going to be loved by us, Jenny, our family and friends. You'll be an amazing mother; don't ever doubt it- you need to give yourself more credit"
"You always know how to make me free better Jake; I love you" she smiled kissing him on the lips as she rested her head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her
"I love you Peyton Sawyer so much" he replied kissing her temple "We're going to be fine okay?" she nodded "You, me, Jenny and baby Jageliski- One big happy family"
"One big happy family" she smiled as she let it sink in
They sat there for another 10mins looking up at the stars as he felt her shiver in his arms "Come on, its' getting late, lets get you to bed"
"Okay" she nodded as he extended his hand out to her
Just then she heard a noise from behind as it startled her. She stood there frozen as her eyes glanced around at her surroundings sending a chill down her spine.
"Peyt you okay?" Jake asked as he squeezed her hand
"Uh- huh yeah, I'm okay" she replied swallowing a lump that formed at her throat. "I just thought I saw; heard-" she said still looking around. She could have sworn she saw someone watching her from afar. The darkness didn't help her one bit as she tried to make out what she thought she saw.
"You just thought what?" he asked as he caressed her cheek glancing over to where she was looking at
She took a deep breath "It was nothing; I'm just tired" she replied as he nodded leading her into the house
"Lets get you to bed"
"What was that? Are my eyes really playing tricks on me?" she wondered out loud in her head to herself as Jake locked up before they turned in for bed "Huh?" she thought
…
"Aunt Brooke its' your turn" shouted Jamie as he handed her the Wii remote
"Okay how many do I need to knock down to beat Uncle Lucas handsome?" she asked kinking her eyebrows as Lucas couldn't help but laugh at her concentration
"5 pins or a strike" he replied
"You can do it Aunt Brooke" cheered Jenny and Lily
"Oh you two are turning on me too now huh?" he asked as he started tickling the girls
"Okay, okay" they shouted "No more, no more!" they squirmed in giggles
"5 pins or a strike huh? That's it?" she asked
"That's it" replied Jamie as he kept his eyes locked to the screen
"Oh give it up pretty girl" smirked Lucas "You're not going to get either" he joked as she shook her head at him
She then locked eyes with Jamie as they had devilish grins on their faces "Game on Broody" he smirked "JimiJam how does that look; did I set it up right sweetie?" she asked winking at her adorable godson
"Hey that's cheating" exclaimed the brooding blonde as he steped in between his pretty girl and his god son making commotion as they broke out into laughter. She kept swatting his hands away as he attempted to playfully grab at the Wii remote. The girls were playing with dolls as they waited for their turn not really paying attention to the trio
"Right there, uh huh right there- roll now Aunt Brooke" he exclaimed
As she was about to swing her arm Lucas tickled her sides as she broke out into a fit of giggles; totally messing up her roll "BROODY! That's cheating!" she shouted as she playfully smacked his arm
"UNCLE LUCAS" laughed Jamie "Hey you still got" he counted out loud "6 Aunt Brooke; you still beat Uncle Lucas" he giggled as Lucas grabbed him and spun him around tickling him.
"I did?!" she shrieked "Yes!! See I'm good Broody boy; even if you did try and wreck my roll" she smirked wrapping her arms around his neck
"I let you win pretty girl" he chuckled as she rolled her eyes at him.
"Yeah sure baby, whatever you say. That would have totally been a strike if someone wasn't such a sore sport; isn't that right buddy?" she turn to ask Jamie laughing as she brushed her lips against Lucas's
"Yeah" he replied bowling his turn not really paying attention to them
"Pick a side JLuke" chuckled Lucas
"Uh Team Brooke" he replied as Lucas wasn't shocked "I'm sorry Uncle Luke, but Aunt Brooke gives the best presents; you give us books" he replied making a face as the adults laughed "I still love you both the same though" he said turning to them as he smiled
"That's all we ask buddy" he replied giving him a nuggy
"Team Brooke always wins baby; just like Team Brucas" she smirked kinking her eyebrows
"You're so right pretty girl" he whispered in her ear "How could I not agree with that" he added as he kissed her
She giggled "Lets see, I'm better than you at pool and now bowling. Who would have known" she smirked patting his shoulders
"Yeah, yeah another thing to hold over my head"
"You bet handsome" she winked as he shook his head laughing
"Besides Aunt Brooke's a pro at Bowling now, we play each time I come over; we're suppose to trick you guys into buying us ice cream-Oops"
"Way to ruin our secret JimJam" she laughed as Lucas kissed her cheek
"You're so holding out on me pretty girl" he chuckled
"Well that's why JimiJam and I make the best team huh sweetie?" he nodded excitedly
"Alright kiddos, time for bed"
"Awwww!" they pouted "One more game, please?!"
"JLuke, that was the 3rd game with played after we let you guys watch both movies" he chuckled "It's late enough as it is"
"Tell you what" said Brooke "Well play baseball tomorrow and see if we can beat Uncle Lucas JimiJam"
"That'll be easy Aunt Brooke" he smirked "I always beat Uncle Lucas at Baseball" he giggled as Lucas pretended to be offended
"But for now, time for bed guys" she smiled
"Come on guys, I'll get you all situated for bed" said Lucas as the kids ran upstairs
"Last one up is a rotten egg" shouted Jenny as the kids darted off
"Walk please" shouted Brooke
"You coming?" he asked once he realized she hasn't moved
"I'll be right up; I'm going to grab some water"
"I'll-" he started saying as she covered his mouth before he could finish his sentence
"Get the kids situated Brooke" she said as she kept her hand over his mouth, speaking for him "You can get water yourself, and meet me upstairs in a few minutes as you help me tuck them in" she smiled still not letting go until he finally agreed "Right?" he sighed as he nodded "Good now go" she chuckle as he shook his head at her, kissing her forehead before darting upstairs after the trio.
She smiled to herself as she watched Lucas dart upstairs. She turned off the television and the game as she left everything the way it was-knowing that they were going to play another round tomorrow like she promised. She then headed towards the kitchen as she went to grab a glass of water making sure the left over pizza was put away. She poured herself a glass of water as she stood their admiring all the pictures on her fridge as it brought a smile to her face. Jamie, Naley, Peyton, Angie, Karen, Andy, Lily, high school clan, her cheerleading friends, her and Lucas and now an ultrasound picture of baby brucas that Lucas must of stuck on this afternoon. Her fingers grazed each picture as a smile formed on her lips as her other hand rested on her still flat stomach as tears welded up in her eyes. "These people, you sweetie" she said talking to her belly "are my family; my life now. I couldn't imagine life without any of you" A few minutes later she finished her water as she placed her glass in the sink. Before she left the kitchen, she realized the blinds were still slightly open as she walked over and slowly turned it. Just then something moving in the dark outside caught her eye as it startled her causing her to step back scared to move.
"Brooke?" shouted Lucas from the staircase
Silence
She took a deep breath and decided to take a double look by peeping instead of turning the whole blinds but there was nothing but darkness. She could have sworn she saw something or someone watching her as it sent a chill down her spine.
"Brooke?" he said once again worried
Oh how she hated the darkness but for some reason she was determined to find something as her eyes got lost in concentrating.
"That's odd" he thought as he came downstairs to see what was taking her so long. He then noticed her standing in the dark peeping out the window "Pretty girl what are you looking at?" he asked confused
Silence
"Brooke?" he said as he placed a gentle hand on her arm startling her as she jumped out of her skin
"Oh god Lucas you scared me" she shrieked placing a hand over her pounding heart as she tried to catch her breath
"I'm sorry" he replied "I was calling your name a few times but you didn't answer so I came down to check on you. Why are you standing here in the dark; and what are you looking at?" he asked utterly confused as he took a peek out the window to see what she was so concentrated on
"I thought I saw-" she tried to explain but didn't want to sound like a crazy person "It's nothing, it's late and I'm tired." she replied trying to convince herself.
"Are you sure?" he asked peeking once again into the darkness
"Yeah I'm positive. My eyes are playing tricks on me; are the kids asleep?"
"Yeah" he nodded "Once their heads hit the pillows they were out like a light bulb"
She smiled "I'm going to kiss them good night"
"I'll meet you up there, I'm just going to double check the doors and windows and make sure they're all locked up before we turn in"
"I finally have a man of the house" she said falling in love with him even more "I couldn't feel safer than I do now with you baby" she smiled staring deep into his beautiful sparkling blue eyes
"I'll always be here to protect you Brooke; that's a promise" he replied "I'm sorry about-"
She covered his mouth once again as they kept their eyes locked on one another "I don't blame you, I never have and never will; so please don't start beating yourself up over it. It's in the past, and we're moving forward with our lives. I love you, and what's important is that we're together here and now" he nodded
He wrapped his arms around her waist "I love you so much Brooke Penelope Davis"
"Soon to be Scott" she winked smiling as he pulled her in for a passionate kiss
"Okay, I'll see you in a few mins"
"I'll be right up babe" he replied as he took another peep out the window as curiosity got the best of him. "Note to self, pay more attention to our surroundings" he whispered as he double checked the locks before heading up
"Were my eyes really playing tricks on me?" she wondered as she entered the kid's room "Or-?"
