Chapter Thirty-Six: Plans and Surprises

It had been a few months since Sam had been upset about everything in her life. With Brooke and Haley having a baby and Rachel and Erika getting engaged, things were rough on her. Since then everything had kind of fallen into place.

Brooke made sure that Sam was let in on all of their decisions about the baby. Haley and Sam have even set up a day where they just hang out without Brooke. Sam seemed to like that. It was the same thing with Erika.

Brooke and Haley had put wedding plans on hold because they wanted to focus on the pregnancy and Sam was really okay with that.

Erika and Rachel have been spending the last few months planning a wedding. It had taken twice as long because Rachel was splitting her time up with her publishing company, Second Chance and wedding plans with her fiancé.

Jenna and Sam's relationship has been amazing. Nothing has gone beyond kissing, but both Jenna and Sam are happy about that. They both knew that they weren't ready for sex, at least not yet. Their parent's couldn't agree more.

Now it was early May and Sam had come into her girlfriend's room with some troubles on her mind.

"How am I supposed to celebrate this day?" Sam asks as she paces around her girlfriend's room.

Jenna's back was against the headboard and she was smiling adoringly at Sam's behavior.

"Sam, you do know that I don't celebrate this day right?"

"Yeah, I know," Sam says with a sigh as she takes a seat. "But I think I just needed to vent."

"I'm here to listen, but I don't know how much help I can be," Jenna pushes some stray hairs away from her face. "I celebrate father's day not mother's day."

"Normally I wouldn't have a problem, but this year I have four moms instead of two. What the hell am I supposed to do?"

Jenna couldn't help, but laugh.

"Well at least you have a few days to figure it out."

Sam sighs dramatically and lies down on the bed.

"How's Haley doing with the pregnancy?"

"She is in the second month in her second trimester and doing well. Mom is busy reading about all the changes and crap and then she calls me in the middle of the night to tell me about them."

Jenna starts cracking up and Sam smiles because the sound was wonderful to hear. Sam's smile lessons when she realizes she's being a sap, but she doesn't care. She knew she was falling for this girl.

-Back to Me-

"I hate doctors," Brooke grumbles as she looks around the room with a sigh. It was really depressing looking. Brooke looked towards her fiancé when she felt her hand being tugged.

"We're not even here for you," Haley says with a smile.

"I know, but still."

"You are such a baby."

Brooke shrugs her shoulders.

The door to the room opens and Doctor Levy came in with a smile.

"How are the expectant mothers today?"

"I'm fine, but my girl over here hates doctors," Haley says with a grin.

Doctor Levy raises an eyebrow in Brooke's direction.

"It's not that I don't like doctors it's just the process of everything. And I have questions by the way," Brooke adds in.

Doctor Levy sits down on her stool and grabs her latex gloves.

"Ask away Brooke."

"When I was pregnant with my daughter, at five months I was smaller than Haley is and I'm just wondering if something is wrong. Could there be something wrong?"

"It's a good question Brooke, but you shouldn't worry about that right now. I'll take a look and see what we can come up with. Haley, I'm going to need you to lift up your shirt for me please."

Haley does as she is told and Brooke places a reassuring kiss on her forehead.

"Do you think we can find out the sex of the baby today?" Haley asks softly as Doctor Levy places gel on Haley's pregnant stomach.

"If that baby is in the right spot I don't see why not."

Haley smiles brightly at Brooke. She wanted to know the sex of the baby. Brooke smiles back. She wanted to know as well.

"Okay, let's see what we got here," Doctor Levy moves the wand over Haley's stomach. "Hmm."

"Why did you 'hmm'?" Brooke questions.

Haley listens to the heartbeat for a minute before she asks her question.

"Isn't the heart rate a little too fast?"

"Um…hold on a second. There's nothing to worry about, I assure you, but," Doctor Levy moves the wand to the position that confirms what she thought. "There we go. Haley, the reason why the heart beat is a little fast is because it's not just one heart beat, it's two."

Haley and Brooke don't know what to say.

"You two wanted to know the sex right?"

Haley clears her throat and nods her head.

"Yes, we do, right Brooke?"

Brooke snaps out of her thoughts and looks at Haley.

"Yeah, we do," Brooke says as she turns her attention back to the screen.

"Well from the looks of it you are having fraternal twins so one of each."

"A boy and a girl," Brooke whispers. "Wow."

"Yeah, wow," Haley concurs.

-Back to Me-

"Babe, how many people on your side has confirmed for the wedding?" Erika asks from the table as she goes through her guest list.

"Peyton and Lucas confirmed along with Brooke and Haley. Jenna's fathers are also coming. Nathan is going to try. My sister Danielle said she and her husband are coming, but wasn't so sure about my parents."

"Why not?"

"My parents are ones that believe in marriage only once and considering this will be my second wedding I don't know about them quite yet."

Rachel takes a seat next to Erika and sighs.

"I love my parents, I really do, but they aren't the nicest people. They tolerate me and they tolerate Brooke and they don't really acknowledge Sam as their granddaughter because she's not biologically. I deal with it."

"Honey, I'm sorry. I didn't really think about it," Erika apologizes.

"Don't worry about it babe, now what about you?"

"Mom and dad confirmed along with my brother and sister so that's a plus. Also a few colleagues have confirmed as well."

"That's great and everything else is done right? No more planning."

Erika closes her notebook and smiles.

"No more planning."

"Can you believe this time next month we will be married?" Rachel questions with a smile.

"Actually I can, but there is one thing we still have to decide on, my last name or yours?"

A/N: I hope you liked this chapter. I was originally going to plan more, but I felt like it didn't fit with what was presented in this chapter so I'll add it to the next one.

Brooke and Haley: are having a boy and girl. I originally planned for them to only have one baby, but OTHangles gave me the best option. Everyone wanted either a boy or a girl and I couldn't decide OTHangles did it for me.

So, I need names for their boy and girl…all of them will be mentioned, but only two will be picked as the real names so please help me out.

Rachel and Erika: Should they be Rachel and Erika Gatina or Rachel and Erika Jensen?
