To my one reviewer that thought the customer was Brooke's parents or the other girl, you're wrong. It was just a random person who really doesn't have a purpose except to show how Karen just got back into her normal routine, but I'm glad I'm making you guys guess what going to happen next. BTW, I love BL too! I was so upset when they were over...

Thanks for the reviews, they are much appreciated. The more you review the faster I'll update! Hope you enjoy this chapter!

Lucas was working out his shoulder in the weight room before heading out to sit on the bench while his teammates practiced.

"Hey Luke." Jake was standing in the doorway with Jenny in tow.

"Hey man." Lucas said putting down the weights he had been using, "Hey Jenny."

"My folks couldn't watch her." Jake set her down and then he sat next to Lucas.

"Get to practice. I'll watch her for you." He walked over to her carrier and hung it on his elbow and they all walked out to the gym.

"Jake, give me ten laps. Scott, get off my court!" Whitey yelled at them.

Jake and Lucas laughed to themselves while following Whitey's orders. Just as Lucas sat in the bleachers Jenny started screaming.

"Scott, go play daddy!" Whitey yelled from the court.

Lucas cringed on the fact that Whitey had told him to play daddy; he was already going to be a daddy. Lucas carried Jenny's carrier into the hall. He lifted the screaming infant from her carrier carefully. He rocked her back and forth as he whispered soothing words in her ear.

"Are you practicing, Mr. Scott?" Brooke appeared in front of him. She was liking what she saw.

"I guess you could say that." He sifted the baby to his other shoulder, "Jake didn't have anyone to watch her."

"Can I hold her?" Brooke reached for the tiny infant. Lucas handed Jenny to Brooke with care.

Lucas smiled at the way Brooke dance around with Jenny in her arms. Brooke stopped suddenly and stared back at Lucas.

"We can do this." Brooke touched her stomach, "We are going to be great."

For the first time neither of them cried at the thought of bringing a baby into the world right now but they smiled. They were going to do this and they were going to be great.

Again Lucas went in for a kiss but this time was different; Brooke didn't pull away.

"Brooke..." Jake said from the door of the gym.

"And Lucas?" Nathan finished in disbelief.

Brooke and Lucas parted, surprised to see they had visitors. Brooke's cheeks turned bright red.

"Call me later." Brooke handed Jenny back to Lucas.

Nathan and Jake moved closer to get the scoop.

"Brooke," Jake repeated towards Nathan.

"And Lucas." Nathan replied to Jake.

"Back together?" They both said in unison.

Lucas ignored them both directing all his attention to Jenny. He gently place her back in her carrier.

"When did this happen?" Nathan pried.

"Just now." Lucas did not need to tell them anything but he was still in shock that they got back together.

"What kind of answer is that?" Nathan asked just as his cell phone began beeping, "Got to go guys. I want all the details tomorrow."

"So what's going on?" Jake asked after Nathan had left, knowing he could get more on his own.

"We're working through things." Lucas was not sure if he should tell Jake about Brooke or not.

"That's great man." Jake said but knowing that that wasn't the whole story, "How'd you manage that?"

"Jake," Lucas knew he should tell Jake. Jake had trusted Lucas enough to tell him about Jenny. Plus maybe Jake would have good advice, "Brooke's pregnant."

Jake could not believe his ears. Did Lucas just say Brooke was pregnant?

"Wow," Jake was at a loss of words. Lucas seemed so strong and confident. Jake wished he had that courage back then. He hadn't even told anyone he had a daughter until Lucas came along.

"Yeah, I know." Lucas knew that Jake understood what he was feeling and going through. Jake had been in his position a year ago, but to look at how Jake took care of Jenny just made Lucas know that he could do it too.

"This is big man." Jake was still shocked, "How are you holding up? How's Brooke?"

"We were scared shit last night but now I think we're ready to overcome this bump in the road." Lucas answered truthfully.

"To tell you the truth you're never really ready. Not until you hold that baby in your arms. Then you're going to go crazy fussing over every little thing." Jake laughed looking down at his own daughter, "It's even harder when you're all alone. You guys are lucky to have each other."

"You're not alone Jake and if I can be half the dad you are I'll be satisfied." Lucas reassured his friend just as Jenny began fussing.

"I got to get her home." Jake lifted Jenny's carrier from the ground, "You know where to find me if you need anything."

Lucas just hoped what Jake said was not true. He wanted to be ready now, not nine months down the line. He walked out into the sunshine towards his truck.

"Hey handsome," Madison said falling into step with him.

"Madison, hey." He expected it to be Brooke, that was one of her lines.

"So I was thinking, to make last night up to each other why don't we take each other out to eat now?" She ran her fingers through her hair.

"Um, I uh," Lucas thought for a moment, "Yeah, that sounds good."

"How about that Café you told me about?" Madison suggested.

"That's sounds great." Lucas said feeling relieved. He had been feeling guilty. What would Brooke think if he went out with another girl when they just made up? At least going to his mother's café would make him feel better because Haley would be there to vouch for him.

"I say we start over." Madison said once they were settled in Lucas' truck.

"Okay," Lucas wasn't exactly sure what she meant but he wasn't thinking about her. He was thinking about Brooke.

"Hi, I'm Madison. I just moved here from Bridgewater." Madison stuck her hand out for Lucas to shake.

"I'm Lucas. I was born and raised here in Tree Hill." He laughed at how ridiculous they sounded.

They pulled up in front of the Cafè and stumbled out of the car. They had been laughing so hard their eyes were tearing. The normal crowd was inside the cafè, already buzzing with conversations.

"Luke!" Haley came from behind the counter and hugged him.

"Hey Hales! A little busy aren't we?" Lucas laughed at the frustrated look on Haley's face.

"Oh yeah, Haley this is Madison. She just moved here." Lucas introduced them.

"Hey," Haley looked shocked. Nathan had just called her to tell her that Lucas and Brooke had gotten back together. What was Lucas doing with this other girl?

"It's nice to meet you." Madison said politely.

"We're starving, Hales. We're going to sit by the window." Lucas ushered Madison towards the table open near the window.

"So who's she? An ex-girlfriend?" Madison pumped him with answers.

"God no," Lucas laughed. Him and Haley a couple? "we're just best friends."

"Good, I want you all to myself." Madison said seductively.

Lucas now knew that this get together was a bad idea. Was he sending the wrong signals to her? If he was he didn't mean to, he was just trying to be nice. He needed a way out of this but how? The door jingled and in came his relief.

"Peyton!" Lucas called to her motioning her towards them.
