"What?" Brooke asked.

"Yep," the doctor nodded looking at his notes. "You're about 13 weeks along already."

"13 weeks?"

"Yes indeed." Dr. Hopewell smiled.

"So what does this mean?" Brooke asked.

"Well..." the doctor began, "We're going to have to take your blood pressure, weigh you, take a urine sample, and we'll take an ultrasound to make sure everything's alright in there, measure your Fundal height, and measure the baby's heart tone." Brooke gulped and nodded. "I'll just get you to change into a hospital gown, if that's alright with you?" Brooke nodded and took the proffered gown into the washroom. "Congratulations, Jake."

"Thanks." Jake said uncomfortably, shoving his hands into his pockets. Jake just stood there as Dr. Hopewell called for a nurse to help him set up for the ultrasound. He sighed in relief when Brooke reentered the room.

"We'll begin with your ultra sound, whenever you're ready, Ms. Davis."

"Brooke." Brooke corrected as she hopped up onto the high table. She motioned for Jake to come over.

"What?" he whispered.

"Hold my hand." Brooke hissed. Jake smirked and grabbed hold of her hand.

"Now, Brooke..." Dr. Hopewell began, turning back to her, holding a tube of gel. "The gel may feel a little cold." She breathed in as he applied it to her stomach. "Now, you shouldn't feel a thing." Brooke nodded as he placed the transducer on her stomach and began to move it around so they could catch sight of the baby. "That's interesting..." Dr. Hopewell muttered to himself.

"Interesting?" Brooke asked a little panicked. "What does that mean? Interesting?"

"Take a look right here." The elderly man said pointing to the screen.

"What?"

"It looks like you're going to be the proud mother of twins."

"What?" Brooke asked, her jaw dropped and her grip on Jake's hand tightened exponentially.

"Looks like you're a bit of an overachiever, there Jake."

The rest of the appointment passed by in a blur for both Brooke and Jake. They walked silently behind Dr. Hopewell as he led them back to the waiting room. "So I'll see the two of you back here in a week." Brooke nodded and sat down on the couch. She couldn't find any words until well after the doctor left.

"So what's going on?" Peyton asked as she transferred a sleeping Jenny into Jake's arms.

"The babies are fine." Jake answered.

"Well that's good, isn't it? We want the babies to be healthy. Wait... Babies?"

"That's what the man said." Brooke said.

"You're having twins?" Brooke nodded. "Wow."

"Who knew Lucas had it in him..." Brooke grinned wryly.

"You're going to have to tell him soon." Jake said quietly as he sat on the couch between the two girls.

Brooke snorted. "I didn't know what to tell him before, what do I say to him now? Oh, hey Lucas I'm pregnant, you're the father, and by the way we're having twins! That'll go over well."

Jake sighed and wrapped an arm around Brooke's shoulders. "I know Brooke." Jake murmured kissing the side of her head. "But you're definitely not going to be able to hide it for long."

"I know." Brooke sighed leaning into him. "What am I going to do?"

Over the next few days Brooke retreated back into despondent mode. She refused to go anywhere other than home or school and wouldn't talk to anyone. Finally on the Friday, a week after her last appointment, Jake, Peyton, and Jenny showed up on Brooke's doorstep.

"What do you guys want?"

"Enough of the crap, Brooke." Peyton said pushing her way into the house. "We're here to go to your next appointment with you."

"I changed the appointment date." Brooke said simply.

"To when?" Jake asked incredulously.

"To yesterday." Brooke answered.

"What?" Jake asked, "Why?"

Brooke shrugged. "Well what happened?" Peyton asked, settling onto Brooke's couch.

"Everything's cool. The babies are healthy. I'm a little underweight, but that's it."

"Underweight?" Jake asked, worried.

Brooke nodded. "Relax Jake. I talked to Dr. Hopewell, he said I'm still in the safe zone, but by next week I'm going to be much bigger. I have to tell Lucas guys."

Jake settled Jenny on a blanket on the floor with a few toys. Then sat on the couch with Brooke held tightly in his arms. "We know."

"What am I going to say?" Peyton and Jake said nothing as Brooke talked to herself out loud.

"It'll be alright." Peyton whispered patting Brooke's leg sympathetically.

Brooke shook her head. "I have to tell him now."

"Now?"

Brooke nodded. "Any idea where he'd be?"

Peyton shrugged "River court?"

"Do you want us to come?" Jake asked as Brooke grabbed a jacket and headed for the door.

"Could you just wait here for me?"

Jake nodded. "We'll be here."

Brooke smiled nervously and left. This wasn't going to be easy.
