OK so I get this Fic has prob been getting boring lately so I am going to try and put a bit more drama into it.
Thanks so much for all the reviews BTW!
This Chapter was named after the song "Dirty Little Secret" BY The All American Rejects
One Tree Hill
Season 7
'Dirty Little Secret'
**BROOKE'S HOUSE**
Brooke: OK, lets try something easier.... Mind telling me why your hiding the fact that your pregnant?
Rachel's jaw dropped open
Rachel: Wh-What are you talking about?
Brooke: I know you Rach, I saw the look in your eye when Luke asked you... your pregnant aren't you?
Rachel: I have no idea what your talking about
Brooke walked over and wrapped a comforting hand around her friend, taking a seat next to her on the bed
Brooke: Rach, it's OK, it's me your talking to
Much to Brooke's surprise Rachel burst into tears
Brooke: Shhhh hunny, it's gonna be OK
She wrapped her hands tighter around her friend, worried, it wasn't like Rachel to cry.
Rachel: It's not
Brooke: Yeah it is... I'll be here for you every step of the way and the father-
Rachel: HE'S DEAD!
Brooke jumped at Rachel's sudden outburst
Rachel: He's dead OK? The father is dead
Brooke: Oh I'm so sorry
Rachel: It's Coopers.... the baby is Coopers
Brooke's eyes widened in shock, this was not what she had been expecting. She held her friend until the sobs stopped and then the two slumped back on the bed, looking up at the ceiling.
Brooke: Did you love him?
Rachel considered her words
Rachel: Yes.... but he didn't love me
Brooke: I dunno, I think Cooper had a hard time with his feelings
The two lay in silence for a moment
Brooke: I know it's horrible Rach but in a way your getting back a little bit of him... plus I know that Nathan will be an amazing cousin slash uncle and Deb a great aunty. At least your here in Tree Hill where this little guy or girl
She lay a hand on Rachel's stomach
Brooke: Will be so loved by all his family, and I include myself in that.
Rachel smiled
Rachel: Your a good friend Brooke
Brooke: So are you, even when your a complete Skank
Rachel: Shut it HOE!
Both girls laughed
Brooke: Are you going to tell people?
Rachel: I'm not ready yet
Brooke: OK, but I'm coming to every appointment
Rachel: Brooke I don't need your diva ass hangin-
Brooke: Shut it bitch, I'm coming, end of story
Rachel smiled
Rachel: Thankyou
She paused
Rachel: And you can tell Lucas, I know how much it will kill you to lie to him
Brooke: Thanks, and I swear he will keep his mouth shut or no sex for a month
Rachel: Yeah Slut, like you could go a month without sex.. I doubt you'd even last a day
Brooke chuckled playfully
Brooke: I never said I wouldn't be having sex, just not him
Rachel: Atta girl
They laughed again
**THE NEXT DAY**
**BROOKE'S HOUSE**
Brooke and Lucas lay on the couch together, Lucas holding Brooke in his arms as they watched something on TV.
Brooke: I have to tell you something but you have to swear not to tell anyone got it?
Lucas reached the remote to turn off the TV as Brooke turned around to face him
Lucas: Okay
Brooke: Rachel is pregnant
Lucas: I knew it had-
Brooke: And it's Coopers
Lucas's eyes widened in shock
Lucas: As in Uncle Cooper?
Brooke: Yep
Lucas: As is Nathan's Uncle, Deb's Brother.. recently Deceased Cooper?
Brooke sighed in annoyance
Brooke: Yes Luke that's what I just said
Lucas: WOW
Brooke: Uh-huh
Lucas: That's rough
Brooke: Uh-huh
Lucas: Does Nathan know?
Brooke: No and you can't tell him, she's not ready for that yet
Lucas: Alright
Brooke: Tell anyone and no sex for a month
Lucas chuckled
Lucas: Does that mean no sex at all for a month or just no sex with you?
Brooke narrowed her eyes and slapped Lucas on the chest
Brooke: Jerk
Lucas chuckled again, leaning down to press his lips to hers
Lucas: Gorgeous
He wiped a strand of hair from her face
Lucas: You know there is no one else I would ever want to be with
Brooke: Well keep up the jokes and I might find someone else to be with
Lucas's eyes widened and he shook his head
Lucas: Crazy Girl, how can you do such things to my heart?
Brooke chuckled
Brooke: You know I'm kidding
Lucas: Prove it
He leaned down to press his lips to hers again, running his tongue along her bottom lip
????: OK get a room
Brooke jumped up at the familiar voice
Brooke: SAM!
Flinging herself from the couch Brooke skipped across the floor and threw herself full throttle at the blonde teenager
Sam: Hey Mum
Brooke's heart skipped a beat, even after all this time she still loved to hear Sam call her mum
Brooke: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?!?! We weren't expecting you for like two weeks!
Sam: I'm sorry should I go rent a hotel and come back?
She joked
Brooke: Of course not but we wanted everything to be set up before you got back....
Sam: Set up?
Brooke let go of Sam and smiled at her daughter
Brooke: Were moving!
She cried happily as Lucas walked up to her and slipped a hand around his fiances waist. The smile dropped from Sam's face.
Sam: Oh, I should have a assumed with the baby and all.. you'd need a bigger house. I guess I can just stay here with Peyton unless you want me out?
Brooke looked at Sam confused for a moment
Brooke: Sam how can you call me mum and doubt me so much? I'm your mother now OK? That's permanent. So when I say WERE moving, that includes you whether you like it or not.
Sam smiled again
Sam: I guess I knew, I just didn't want to assume
Brooke threw her arms around Sam again
Brooke: Always assume Sam, where I go you do OK?
Sam nodded
Brooke: I love you
Sam: I love you too
Lucas smiled at the two girls and couldn't help but think of the perfect little family he, Brooke, Sam and Belle would be. As the two girls pulled apart again Lucas pulled Sam into an awkward hug.
Lucas: Hey Sam
Sam: Uh, hey Luke.. I hear you've been boning mum whilst I've been away.. nice
Lucas looked away uncomfortably as Brooke starred daggers at Sam
Brooke: SAM!
Sam: What, he has hasn't he?
Brooke sighed
Brooke: You know what? Just go unpack and I'll make lunch. Peyton and Rachel are out so it can just be the three of us
Sam: Ahhh the mysterious "Aunt" Rachel can't wait to meet her, she sounds like fun
Sam walked off to her room and Brooke sighed
Brooke: Still not sure if I'm even going to let them meet yet. Sam and Rachel? That is a scary combination
Lucas chuckled
Lucas: You have no idea do you?
Brooke: What?
Lucas: How much Sam is like you
Brooke: OK I was a cheerleader, a slut and had a C grade average, three things I hope Sam will never be. Except maybe a cheerleader, that girl has good legs she could defiantly pull it off.
Lucas: You weren't a slut babe, I don't date sluts
Brooke: You dated Peyton
Lucas: HAHA, my point is the two of you are more similar than you know
Sam: Why is there are lock on my window!?
Sam called from the bedroom
Brooke: Do you really have to ask!
Brooke called back, rolling her eyes
Brooke: But I was never that much trouble was I?
Lucas laughed
Lucas: Compared to you, Sam is a saint
Brooke pouted as she went to start Lunch
Lucas: So were agreed were going to ask her today?
Brooke: Yes Lucas, I already told you! After lunch!
Brooke spat back , she wasn't angry at him really, just nervous about Sam's reaction. Lucas must of read her mind because he grabbed her arm, pulling her from where she was just finishing making lunch, into his arms.
Lucas: Pretty Girl, don't be nervous.
Brooke: I can't help it
Lucas: She loves you and wants you to be happy
Brooke: I know Luke, but this is a big step. Sam might not want-
Sam: What might I not want?
Brooke and Lucas broke apart, turning to look at Sam who was now standing just outside the kitchen
Brooke: Sam
Sam: What might I not want?
Lucas: Lets have lunch, we can talk about this after
Sam: I think now works best
Brooke gulped and then smiled nervously at Sam
Brooke: Sam, I love you, and no matter what anyone says your my daughter but we wanted to make it official
Sam: Official?
Lucas: Brooke and I would like to adopt you
Lucas's heart beat in his chest as Sam looked between them
Sam: No
Brooke's smile dropped
Brooke: Sam
Sam: NO BROOKE NO!
Brooke hated when Sam called her that
Sam: I love you but no... okay... I don't know him
She signalled to Lucas
Sam: I don't like him and I don't want anything to do with him
Tears flowed into Brooke's eyes
Brooke: I understand if you don't want him adopting you Sam, but where engaged, he's going to be living with us
Sam: No
Brooke: This isn't something you get to say no to young lady
Sam: You expect me to come back and just be alright with a STRANGER wanting to live in the house? A stranger wanting to adopt me? God Mum, what happened to US being a family?
Brooke: We are a family but Lucas is also my family and that makes him yours too
Sam: He's not
She growled
Sam: Your going to have to choose Brooke a family with me or a family with him, you can't have it both ways because I refuse to live anywhere near him. I was OK when I thought you guys were just screwing around but I don't need a father and even if I did it sure as hell wouldn't be him
Lucas: Sam please, just give me a chance
Sam didn't even look at him
Sam: Choose mum, me or him. You can't have both
And with that she turned on her heel and stormed out of the house leaving behind a devestated Brooke and Lucas. Brooke sobbed into Lucas's chest and Lucas found himself crying as well because he knew deep down that if Brooke was forced to choose, the odds would not be in his favour.
Sam stormed out of the house furious, how could Brooke even ask such a thing? She hated Lucas, with a passion, she never wanted anything to do with him. He had betrayed Brooke so long ago, he had hurt her so badly, he had caused the hole in her heart. He had been the reason Brooke had cried every night after Sam had pulled an old shoe box full of letters out of the cupboard and asked Brooke what they were. He was the reason they couldn't have moved to Rome with Owen and been a real family. He was the reason Brooke found it so hard to open up to anyone, yet she would open up to him? He would leave, she was sure of it, he would hurt both her and her mother, she was sure of it. She wasn't going to let him get close only to abandon them.
Sam couldn't believe that Brooke forgave him so easily but she refused. She hated Lucas Scott for what he had done to her mother, she hated Lucas Scott for what he could do to both of them and most of all she hated Lucas Scott because she didn't trust him, not one bit, and there was no way in hell she was going to have anything to do with him. She loved Brooke dearly and if she wanted to be with him then that was her choice but Sam was not going to give in that easily, Brooke would have to choose.
She was running so fast that she didn't even realise when she ran head first into a tall blonde boy.
???: Hey, are you OK?
It was only then that Sam realised she had been crying
Sam: I'm fine
She wiped away her tears
???: You don't look fine, whats your name?
Sam: Sam
Sam felt a strange connection to the handsome teen
???: Hey Sam, I'm Sawyer.
