Spoilers: All the way up to "The Search for Something More." HEAVY spoilers for that episode.
Author's Note: This fic started writing itself in my head after Life in a Glass House, however after seeing "The Search For Something More" the story changed. I apologize if it seems disjointed, but my opinion of Brooke changed drastically after seeing Tuesday's episode.
The lithe brunette sat in the corner of the doctor's waiting area trying to be inconspicuous. For Brooke Davis this was rare. She was used to being the life of the party, of course that is what landed her in a doctors office a distance from her home. She was so wrapped up in her own thoughts that she didn't see the young man cradling a small baby. The young man who was making an effort to stay out of her line of sight. Soon both the young man and Brooke are called back. As Brooke is making her way to the examining room assigned to her, she sees the young man and realizes who it is.
"Jake?" Brooke asks incredulously.
"Hey Brooke." Jake replies, realizing he had to address her or become her latest gossip.
"You are the last person I expected to see here. I guess you are pretty much here for the same reason I am, no one knows me here." Brooke says.
"I know its probably too much to ask but can you keep quiet that you saw me here?" Jake asks.
"I am off the ruining peoples lives things, I'm trying to fix my karma." Brooke replies glibly.
"Your karma." Jake asks with a smile.
"Yeah, I realized I kinda screwed up a bunch of things for a bunch of people. I also made a lot of people not want to be around me. So no more drinking ever, well at least for a while. I realized I kinda said to much when I was drunk. And I kinda didn't remember where I was when I woke up a couple weekends in a row." Brooke says.
"Miss Davis, you are supposed to be in your own room. Not bothering other patients." The nurse tells her.
"Jake wait for me? I want to meet that little darling. O.K. miss strict I'm coming." Brooke says as she goes into her assigned room.
A Short time later.
Brooke enters the waiting room and finds Jake waiting for her. "I wasn't sure you'd wait" she says with a grin.
"You want to go get some coffee?" Jake asks.
"That'd be nice." Brooke replies.
They agree to meet at a near by coffee shop, order coffee and grab a table.
"So wanna tell me who this is?" Brooke asks, breaking the ice.
"My daughter, Rebecca, she's 6 weeks old. She just had a checkup, she is perfectly healthy." Jake answers, his voice full of pride.
"So why are you keeping her a secret?" Brooke asks.
"I really don't know how to tell people about her, she is the most amazing part of my life and I almost lost her. I didn't know my ex was pregnant, she didn't tell me. I found out because after the baby was born she tried to give her up. Flaw in her plan was she named me as the father and she couldn't put her up for adoption unless I agreed. I was all set to sign over my rights until I saw her, I couldn't let her go. I guess I am ashamed of how I got to this place in my life. I also feel guilty because 'Becca is being cheated out of 2 parents because I fell in love with her." Jake answers.
"So you got a girl pregnant, it's not like it doesn't happen. Look at Lucas, his dad left him and his mom high and dry and he's one of the most amazing people I know. You can rely on him and he will come through." Brooke replies.
"What's with your sudden closeness to Lucas, except for being on the basketball team he isn't really in your circle." Jake asks.
"Well, last weekend I took Peyton to a party and some loser spiked her drink with 'roofies. I didn't know what to do so I called Luke. He came riding to her rescue, and he stayed with me all night to make sure she was O.K. I realized how decent a guy he was when he did all this even though Peyton wasn't his favorite person at the time. For that matter neither was I. So I have decided to make him my role model.sort of. I know I promised I wasn't going to gossip anymore, I hope you take me seriously, regardless of what I just said about Peyton and Luke. That's why I was at the doctors; I wanted to make sure I was O.K. I mean I didn't know where I was when I woke up a lot lately and I realized that not all guys are nice guys like Luke. And you I guess, I think you are a nice guy." Brooke replies.
"You know Lucas is part of the reason I changed my mind about Rebecca. I mean part of it was I fell in love with her, but meeting Lucas made me think maybe I could raise her." Jake says.
"Now do I get to hold your daughter?" Brooke queries, trying to lighten the moment.
"Yeah, by the way I think I like you a lot better sober. I mean you haven't mentioned Truth or Dare once yet. " Jake says with a grin.
