AN: Wow! I've exceeded 50 reviews... I don't even know what to say. You guys are awesome; I didn't expect this at all. This is the first fan fiction I've ever written and I didn't even intend to write it. So thank you.

Now, as for some questions that I'd like to answer: I can assure everyone that Jake and Brooke WILL end up together. They are absolutely my favorite characters and I think they both deserve a little happiness. As for Peyton and Lucas... I'm not sure. I'll leave it up to you. Let me know and I'll see what I can do.

So my question for you guys is: Should Peyton and Lucas end up together? Let me know.


Over the next few days Brooke and Lucas gradually forgave each other.

Brooke in an incredible display of understanding told Lucas she realized he made a mistake and although she wouldn't forget she would forgive. She also said that everything should be out in the open, for the sake of their future children.

Lucas, though he was never really angry, made peace with the fact that there was, or would be, a relationship between Brooke and Jake. After talking with Peyton it seemed inevitable.

Jake and Lucas had resolved things the way guys do. After a casual 'Sorry man' and 'Dude, that's okay' they were good.

Peyton was just relieved that everyone was getting along again.

This all lasted until Lucas decided he should tell everyone, everyone being Nathan, Haley, Karen, and Keith.


"Look Luke," Brooke said while pacing her living room. "I can understand you telling your mom, but Keith? Nathan and Haley? I don't know... I honestly have said maybe 4 words to your uncle 'Hi is Luke here?'"

"Okay," Lucas said, "I'll give you Keith, but he'll know soon after I tell my mom. He can read her like you can read Peyton."

Brooke glared at Luke, then turned to Peyton, who was struggling to hold in her laughter. Jake was contently playing with his daughter, who was growing quickly. "Shut up. Alright tell your mom. I don't care."

"What about Nate and Haley? Neither one of them will forgive me if they find out and I'm not the one to tell them."

"No." Brooke said stubbornly.

"You're not going to hide it forever." Lucas said gesturing to Brooke's rapidly growing belly. At this Peyton finally gave in to her laughter.

"It's not funny, Sawyer."

"Yes it is." Peyton said between giggles.

Brooke glared at her, before throwing her hands up in the air. "Fine, you know what? Tell the whole fucking world!"

Jake cleared his throat to get Brooke's attention. When she finally looked at him he pointed to Jenny. "Language." Brooke rolled her eyes and gave him the finger.

"Who else do you want to tell?" Brooke asked Lucas, resigned.

"No one." He said honestly. "Well, actually..."

"Who?" Brooke asked, dramatically draping one of her arms over her eyes.

"Whitey."

"Your basketball coach?" Brooke asked in astonishment. Lucas nodded. "You have got to be kidding me."

"Actually," Jake said from his seat on the floor "I kind of agree with him."

Brooke shook her head and looked at Peyton. "Just fucking great, we're dealing with a group of fucking morons." Peyton laughed again.

"Seriously." Jake said handing Jenny her favorite set of teething rings. "Whitey helped me out a lot when I told him about Jenny."

"Fine." Brooke huffed. "Tell your freaking basketball coach."

Lucas grinned. "Great. Let's go."

"Go where?" Brooke asked tiredly.

"My mom's café."

"You know..." Brooke said, "I'm actually really tired..."

"I could actually go for some food..." Peyton piped up, her laughing fit finally over.

"Me too." Jake said sheepishly, "Plus I have to go ask Karen about the schedule for next week."

"Don't you just work Saturday and Sunday mornings?" Peyton asked.

"Yeah." Jake answered "But I don't want to miss Brooke's next appointment."

"Which brings up my next point." Lucas interrupted. "When do I get to go to one of these things?"

"Well there's kind of a problem with that..." Jake answered.

"What kind of problem?" Lucas asked.

Jake handed a now tired Jenny to Brooke and looked to Peyton for help, but she was wrapped up in her sketchbook. "They kind of think I'm the father."

"What? Why would they think that?"

"'Cause Brooke told them I was so I could go into the first appointment with her."

Lucas shook his head and laughed. "Whatever... we'll deal with it later, but I want my name on the birth certificates."
