Brooke woke up slowly, cursing whoever was calling her cell phone. "Hello?"
"Brooke?"
"Who is this?" She yawned.
"Um, it's Peyton."
"Sorry Peyt." Brooke yawned again. "I was just sleeping... What's up?"
"I'm at your apartment, trying to decorate the twins' room... Do you know what they are yet?"
"No. Just wait a second, I'll be right over."
"Brooke, the paint fumes-"
"Relax, it won't be like I'm painting the room, I just want to see..."
"Fine." Peyton relented, "But neither Luke nor Jake find out, they'd both kill me."
Brooke laughed and pulled one of Jake's t-shirts over her head. "Give me five minutes."
"See ya." Peyton said before hanging up.
Brooke hastily threw her hair up into a ponytail and shuffled across the hall. "Peyton?"
"In the twins' room!" Peyton shouted back.
"So what's the big deal?" Brooke asked walking into the room. As soon as she did she stopped; tears gathered in her eyes. "Oh, Peyton, it's perfect."
"I've had some help." Brooke turned as she heard movement behind her. Her tears actually started falling when Haley, Nathan, Jake, Lucas, Mouth, Skills, and Tim came into the room.
"You guys..." She sobbed as Jake wrapped his arms around her. "This is..."
"Now we realize a lot of the furniture doesn't match," Haley began "but that's because that crib" she pointed to a dark cherry wood crib "was mine."
"And that one was mine." Mouth smiled pointing to the lighter oak one.
"Changing table." Skills said referring to the white washed changing table.
"Rocking chair." Nathan claimed the oak rocking chair, which was perched next to Mouth's old crib.
"This is too much you guys." Brooke said.
"Just wait." Peyton said, grabbing her hand and leading her into Brooke's bedroom. Along with Brooke's own furniture were another rocking chair and a large cradle. "The rocking chair was my mom's."
"Peyton-"
"I want you to have it." Peyton interrupted tears now evident in her own eyes. Brooke just nodded and hugged her friend.
"Luke, Jake, and I made the cradle." Tim announced from behind the two girls. Lucas cleared his throat. "Okay, well, Lucas and Jake made it. I supervised and bought the wood."
"We made it big, because I read somewhere that twins sometimes don't like to be separated right after birth." Luke said, watching as Brooke ran a hand over the smooth wood.
Brooke shook her head and hugged each of her friends. "Thank you guys so much. This is... perfect."
"We're here for you Brooke." Haley smiled when the crying red head hugged her.
"I hate to break this up." Jake said "But we have a doctor's appointment in about half an hour."
"Right." Brooke sniffed. "I'm going to get ready. Will you guys come with?"
"All of us?" Luke asked.
"Of course." Brooke nodded.
"But Brooke, they won't let us all in."
"They will if the pregnant girl has anything to say about it."
"I'm sorry Ms." The orderly said meekly, "but I can't let everyone into the room with you."
"Where's Doctor Hopewell?"
"He's prepping the room."
"I want to talk to him."
"Ms.-"
"Now."
"I suggest you listen to her." Nathan stage whispered. "She scary enough when she's not hopped up on pregnancy hormones... I don't really want to see what could happen to you if-"
"Shut up Nathan." Brooke glared at him.
"Um, I'll just go get the Doctor." The orderly said nervously.
"You do that." Brooke said haughtily.
Luke laughed and wrapped an arm about Brooke's shoulders. "That was great Brooke."
"Ms. Davis." Dr. Hopewell smiled as he came into the hallway. "How are we doing today?"
"We would be much better if my friends could come into the appointment with us."
"Ms Davis-"
"Please?" Brooke asked blinking innocent eyes at him.
"If you think that I'm going to fall for that, Ms Davis, you would be mistaken."
"Please, Doctor," Jake implored "We would really appreciate it."
"I really can't-"
"We won't be any trouble." Peyton added.
Luke nodded and looked pleadingly at the doctor.
It was when Haley stepped up, though, that the doctor cracked. "Haley?"
"Hi Uncle Gary."
"Alright," the elderly man conceded. "But don't tell anyone I let you do this. I'm just going to grab your file, Ms Davis, and I'll be right back."
"Uncle Gary?" Brooke asked when everyone was settled in the exam room.
"He was my grandfather's good friend I've known him since before I can remember." Haley shrugged, leaning back into Nathan's embrace.
"Why'd you wait so long to speak up?" Lucas asked.
"It was funny watching you guys beg."
"Shall we get started?" Dr. Hopewell asked entering the room and interrupting any further conversation.
"Now," Dr. Hopewell asked slathering gel onto Brooke's stomach. "Would we like to know the sexes of the babies?" Brooke nodded, clutching Jake's hand. "Let's see what we can find out." Everyone watched in rapt attention as the doctor moved the scanner back and forth over Brooke's stomach. "Well, congratulations," He looked up at Brooke and Jake "It looks like you're going to be the parents of a little girl and a little boy."
"I knew it." Skills exclaimed pointing at Nathan. "Pay up."
