By about lunch time Brooke had almost finished packing. She had avoided Lucas, by staying in her room for most of the time. She couldn't wait to move out of this place and move in with Nathan. She decided to call her boyfriend and get him to come take her stuff so that she could finally move out. She got her cell phone and right as she was about to call Nathan her phone rang. It scared her so much she flung it across the room, and it landed on the bed. She quickly walked over to it and looked at the caller ID, an unknown number. Hmmm. She answered it.
"Hello?" Brooke said.
"Brooke?" It was Peyton.
"Peyton?" Brooke said.
"Yeah, it's me." Peyton said.
"Are you calling from a payphone, Peyton? Huh or is it a jail cell. Am I going to have to pull a daisy duke and flirt with the guards to get you out?" Brooke said joking around.
"Uhh no Brooke, I'm calling from Jake's phone." Peyton said.
"Oh, really I thought I had his number. Huh I guess not. Ok so go on." Brooke said lying down on her bed.
"Um Jenny's running a fever and I have know idea what to do." Peyton said.
"Are you running a fever too?" Brooke asked her.
"No, why?" Peyton said confused.
"Because you would have to be to call me for help about this, Peyton I know nothing about taking care of children." Brooke said.
"I know but Jake's out of town, and I didn't know who else to call." Peyton said.
"Wait, where and why is Jake out of town?" Brooke said sitting up on her bed.
"He's like visiting his grandparents or something; he didn't want to take Jenny with him." Peyton said getting really flustered.
"Well why don't you call him?" Brooke asked her.
"Because I really don't want to worry him, and I just… Brooke I really don't know what to do." Peyton said almost to the point of tears on the other end of the phone.
"Ok, Peyton calm down, do you want me to come over, or pick something up?" Brooke said trying her best to make Peyton calm down.
"I guess just, I don't know. Ugh never mind I'll figure it out." Peyton said.
"Ok where are you?" Brooke asked her.
"Jake's house." She mumbled.
"Well first look in the cabinets and see if he has any children's Tylenol or something." Brooke said.
"Ok, I'm looking. Ok I found some." Peyton said.
"Ok well give her some." Brooke said. "I'll come over right now." Brooke said.
"oh, no it's ok. I'll give her some and wait awhile. If her fever doesn't go down I'll call you." Peyton said.
"Peyton it's really ok. I can come over."
"No you go, I'm sure you want to move your stuff to Nathan's. It's alright… really." Peyton said.
"Ok, well call me if you need anything P. sawyer." Brooke said.
"Alright, thanks for the help. Bye Brooke." Peyton said hanging up the phone.
"Bye." Brooke said. Just as she hung up the phone it rang again. Yet again it scared her.
"Jesus. What is up today?' Brooke said too herself, before looking at the caller ID. It was Nathan. She picked up the phone quickly.
"Hey Nate." She said.
"Hey Brooke." He said back.
"What's up?" she said.
"umm well I'm just driving around in my car and I happened to be in you neighborhood, and I was wondering if you had some stuff that you wanted to bring over to our apartment." He said.
"Uh huh, right. Well you're in luck. I do indeed have some things." Brooke said.
"Oh good, because I just pulled into your driveway." He said.
"Right." She said laughing. "Just come on in." she said hanging up the phone. Brooke grabbed some boxes from the closet and put them on the bed. Nathan walked into her room as she was putting another box on the bed. He ran over to her and grabbed the box.
"Here let me help you with that." He said putting the box on the bed and taking her into his arms and kissing her.
"Well hello to you too." She said pulling away but still staying in his arms.
"You all packed?" he asked her.
"Umm actually yes I am." She said very proud of herself.
"Oh well good." He said starting to pull away.
"Um wait a minute sexy, I think I should get a reward for that." She said pulling him back to her.
"Oh you will, later." He said.
"Well, uh, can I get an advance now?" she said putting on her best smile.
"I can't resist you." He said leaning down and kissing her.
"That's what I thought." She said finally letting go of him.
"Let's get you moved out of here." He said grabbing a couple of the boxes.
"Brooke what is in all of these boxes?" he asked her.
"My life." She said like he should already know that.
"And your life is?" he asked her.
"My clothes." She said getting lost in thoughts of shopping, and cute clothes.
"I should've known." Nathan said.
"Just move, honey my arms are getting tired." Brooke said.
They walked out into the living room and Nathan, who was ahead of Brooke, ran into Lucas.
"Oh god I'm sorry." Lucas said. The box had fallen on the ground and all of Brooke's bras and underwear, well thongs, were now all over the floor. Everyone fell silent.
"Maybe you could watch where you're going next time." Nathan said.
"Look I'm sorry." He said getting down on the floor to help pick things up.
"I've got things under control Lucas. We don't need your help." Brooke said.
"Ok, again I'm sorry, and Nathan what happened yesterday wasn't, it didn't mean anything. It was all my fault." Lucas said.
Brooke has been putting her underwear back into the box, but when Lucas said that she stopped what she was doing immediately and looked up at Nathan.
"What happened yesterday?" Nathan said looking back and forth suspiciously from Lucas to Brooke.
"You didn't tell him?" Lucas asked Brooke.
"Tell me what?" Nathan said getting annoyed.
"I kissed Brooke yesterday." Lucas said.
Brooke put a hand to her head and sighed.
"You did what?" Nathan asked him, moving a little closer to Lucas.
"I was feeling really bad and I just. I had to tell her." Lucas said.
"Like hell you did." Nathan said punching Lucas.
"Nathan!" Brooke said standing up.
Lucas had been punched right in the eye, he was holding his hand over his eye, but he still looked up at Nathan.
"I deserved that." Lucas said.
"Yeah and you deserve this too." Nathan said about to punch him again, but Brooke stepped in between them, taking Nathan's arms, and pushing him back.
"Nathan, stop." Brooke said.
"Brooke, stop standing up for this jerk." Nathan said.
"I'm not Nathan!" she said.
Nathan finally stopped struggling from Brooke.
"I'm going to go." Lucas said.
"Good." Nathan said as Lucas turned around and walked out the front door.
"Hey thanks for telling me about that Brooke." Nathan said sarcastically.
"First of all I was going to tell you tonight, and second of all it's not that big of a deal Nathan." Brooke said.
"He kissed you Brooke; I told him that if he ever made a move on you I would…"
"Wait, when did you tell him that?" Brooke asked him.
"After he told me he still loved you." Nathan said.
"He told you that?" Brooke said.
"Yeah" he said.
"Hey thanks for telling me about that Nathan." Brooke said mocking what Nathan has said earlier.
"Brooke I'm sorry, I just thought Lucas would move on and you'd never have to find out about that." Nathan said. "Plus it was the day of our date, there was a lot on my mind." He said.
"You know what, it doesn't matter. Just forget about it." Brooke said sitting down on the floor and picking bra's and panties galore up and putting them in the box.
"Brooke, hey I'm sorry. Don't be mad." He said sitting down next to her and putting a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm not mad, I thought you were." Brooke said.
"No, I mean I guess not."
"I didn't really let him kiss me Nathan, and I got pretty pissed of to tell you the truth. I wanted to hit him, but I didn't follow through on that little detail, like you did." Brooke said.
"Yeah, I'm a little impulsive when it comes to punching people." Nathan said.
"I'm sorry." She said.
"Don't worry about it." He said kissing her. "You know these are pretty hot Brooke." Nathan said pointing to the assortment of undergarments that were all over the floor.
"Shut up." She said grabbing a bra and throwing it at him.
"Hey!" he said.
"You said they were pretty hot." She said grabbing a thong and getting ready to throw it at him, but he took her hand and pulled her to him, kissing her.
"You're hotter." He said.
"Oh why thank you." She said smiling and then they kissed again.
After a few trips back and forth between Karen's house and Nathan and Brooke's apartment, they had moved all of Brooke's stuff. Both of them were sitting on the couch, tired from all the moving.
"Damn Brooke you own a lot of clothes." Nathan said.
"Its hard work being me. You have to own a lot of clothes." Brooke said.
"You want to go get something to eat?" he asked her.
"Oh, yes I do! Actually I think we should just order a pizza, watch a movie. Stay in tonight." Brooke said seductively.
"Works for me." Nathan said. "I'll order the pizza." He said getting up and walking over to the phone. Brooke watched him as he dialed the number.
"I like how you know the number already." Brooke said making fun of him.
"I can't really cook Brooke."
"Ha-ha you just rhymed." She said.
"I'm on the phone Brooke." He said trying to ignore her but laughing in spite of himself.
As Nathan was ordering the pizza Brooke's phone rang, but it didn't scare her this time.
"Hello?" she said answering it.
"Brooke, it's me." Peyton said.
"Hey, whose phone are you calling from this time?" Brooke asked her.
"Uh my phone." Peyton said.
"Really, I guess I didn't really look at my caller ID, anyways what's going on?" Brooke said getting back to the conversation.
"Umm Jenny's fever isn't going down, I really don't know what to do." Peyton said.
"Oh well, maybe its time for you to call Jake." Brooke said.
Nathan had now ordered the pizza and came and sat down next to Brooke. He mouthed out/whispered "what's going on?" Brooke waved a hand at him and tried to listen to what Peyton was saying turning her head away from Nathan.
"I don't know Brooke, I just I mean I guess I should do that. I'm really worried." Peyton said.
"Look," Brooke said. Nathan had moved to the other side of her and was asking again "what's going on?" "Peyton I'm sorry hold on." Brooke said putting the phone away from her mouth and covering the speaker. "Nathan stop this is important." Brooke said and the put the phone back to her mouth "ok I'm back, look I think you should call Jake, and tell him?" Brooke said.
"Well what do I do until he gets back?" Peyton said.
"I'll be over there soon. I'm leaving Nathan's apartment right now." Brooke said getting up. Nathan sat down on the couch and sighed.
"Brooke, no. its to much trouble."
"Peyton, if Jenny's really not doing well then its not to much trouble. I'm coming over.
I'll be there soon. Call Jake." Brooke said putting on her jacket.
"Ok, bye."
"Bye." Brooke hung up the phone. "I have to go." She said.
"What's wrong?" Nathan said.
"Jenny's running a fever, and Peyton gave her Tylenol but that didn't work, and now Peyton's freaking out. I need to go be with her."
"Well I'll go with you." Nathan said.
"No, the pizza's coming. You should like call up Tim, or something and hang tonight." Brooke said.
"I'll wait till the pizza gets here and then I'll bring it over there." He said.
"If you really want to do that, then its ok I guess." Brooke said.
"I do."
"Ok I have to go. See you later. Bye" she said walking out the door.
When Brooke got to Jake's house and knocked on the door Peyton came running to it and opened then door.
"Oh thank god you're here. Jenny's getting worse. She's coughing and like spitting up all this crap. Brooke I don't think this is the normal childhood cough she's got." Peyton said.
"Ok Peyton calm down." Brooke said taking her hand and walking inside shutting the
door. Right as Brooke closed the door Jenny started crying in the other room.
"Plus she's been non-stop crying, when you came was the first time she hasn't been crying in like forever." Peyton said. Peyton looked really worn out. Her hair was more frazzled then usual, and there were circles formed under her eyes.
"Did you call Jake Peyton?" Brooke asked her.
"Yes, he's heading home right now." Peyton said.
"Did he say to do anything in the mean time?" Brooke said.
"Umm well just try and keep her calm. I don't know. Brooke what if this is all my fault." Peyton said.
"Lets just go see her, and in no way is this your fault Peyton, so stop saying and thinking that." Brooke said walking into a room, but then turning back around.
"I really don't know where I'm going." Brooke said.
"Jenny's in this room." Peyton said leading her down a hall and into a little room with faded blue wallpaper. Jenny was in her crib, crying like crazy. Brooke and Peyton walked over to her. "Oh god Peyton she doesn't look very good." Brooke said.
"I know, that's why I'm so worried." Peyton said. "What should we do?"
"I really think we should take her to the doctor, or at least call the doctor." Brooke said looking down at Jenny.
"Ok I think I actually know where the doctor's number is. I'll call." Peyton said leaving the room before finishing her sentence. Brooke leaned down and felt Jenny's forehead. She really was burning up. Brooke thought about picking her up. Would that be weird? It couldn't hurt could it? Well unless she dropped her. No she wouldn't do that. Brooke leaned down and gently took Jenny into her arms.
"Hi sweetie. It's me Brooke. I don't know if you remember me, well how could you not remember me, anyways I gave you, what I'm sure is your favorite outfit for Christmas. You're very Pretty Jenny." While Brooke was rambling on about who knows what Jenny's crying had died down, and come to a complete stop, with the exception of a few odd noises here and there. Peyton walked back into the room to see Brooke looking down at Jenny in her arms.
"You got her to stop crying." Peyton said.
"Yeah I'm pretty awesome like that." Brooke said jokingly.
"Um the doctor said that if her fever doesn't go away in the next thirty minutes that we should bring her to the doctor's office." Peyton said walking over and sitting down.
"ok." Brooke put Jenny back into her crib carefully.
"Brooke, you're really good with Jenny." Peyton said.
"It was probably just luck, or timing you know I talk and jenny mysteriously stops crying." Brooke said using a mysteries voice, like the whole think was some scandal.
"We're not on the Sci-FI channel Brooke."
"Well then how else did she stop crying?" Brooke said throwing her hands up in the air.
"Because of you. I guess you relentless rambling has a calming effect on young jenny."
"Oh, well of course it does." Brooke said like she'd known this the whole time.
"She's young, impressionable, not to mention running a high fever. I wouldn't get too used to it."
"Oh thanks Peyton." Brooke said sarcastically.
"I'm just kidding, she already loves you Brooke." Peyton said.
"So, P. Sawyer what shall we do while awaiting the destiny of Jenny?" Brooke said stepping forward dramatically.
"Please don't say that Brooke." Peyton said looking down at her hand.
"Sorry, just trying to loosen the atmosphere. Anyway what do you want to do?" Brooke said kneeling down my Peyton.
"I don't know, I don't really care. I just want jenny to be ok." Peyton said.
"And she will be. Peyton look at me." Brooke said, Peyton looked up from her hands to Brooke. "She will be." Brooke said. "Now come on, I happen to know that there is a TV in this house that has our name written all over it." Brooke said taking Peyton's hand and dragging her out into the living room.
About thirty minutes later Brooke and Peyton went to go check on Jenny. They checked her temperature and she still had a fever.
"Crap Brooke, do we take her to the doctor now?"
"Yeah I guess"
"Well should I like wait for Jake to get home?"
"When is he supposed to be back?" Brooke asked her but her main focus was on Jenny.
"Umm he should be here in like an hour."
There was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it, you stay with Jenny." Brooke said walking out of the room and down the hall, she got to the front door and opened it. It was Nathan, pizza in hand.
"Hey, I brought the pizza; hope you don't mind I kind of already ate a slice. I was really hungry." He said.
"No, umm its okay, come in. Look Peyton and I have to take Jenny to the doctors office, she's really not doing so well. Could you possibly stay here until Jake gets back?"
"Yeah of course."
"Good, umm there's a TV with cable, so you can just watch it and eat." Brooke said, going to get Peyton.
"Hey Brooke, is jenny going to be ok?" Nathan asked her.
"Yeah I'm sure she'll be fine, I mean it may be a serious cough or something but nothing to bad I'm sure." Brooke said.
Peyton walked out with Jenny in her arms.
"Ok we're ready." Peyton said, "Unfortunately Jenny has taken to crying again.
"alright, Nathan is going to stay here until Jake gets back, umm Nathan just call when he gets here and we'll take it from there." Brooke said taking her jacket off of the side of the couch and putting in on.
"Here Brooke, you hold her, maybe then she'll stop crying." Peyton said handing Jenny to Brooke.
"Ok, but I'm telling you it was just a freaky coincidence." Brooke said taking Jenny into her arms. After a few seconds jenny stopped crying.
"Brooke didn't even have to ramble this time." Peyton said.
"Twilight zone." Brooke said.
"Let's go." Peyton said opening the door, Brooke and Jenny walked out first.
"Thanks for waiting Nathan." Peyton said.
"No problem." He said sitting down on the couch.
Brooke and Peyton had been at the doctor's office for what had seemed like hour, but what was really only about one hour. Jenny was still in the doctor's office being examined. Brooke and Peyton sat patiently in the waiting room, Jake and Nathan were supposedly on their way to the doctor's office but it was taking them quite a while.
"God I hate doctor's offices. They're scary, and you know they all smell the same. I think they put something in the air to sedate you, but then when you smell that smell it puts you into panic mode and only makes things worse." Brooke said, breaking a long silence her and Peyton had been having.
"yeah." Peyton mumbled.
"Peyton…" Brooke said, but she was interrupted when Jake walked in. He walked swiftly and directly over to Peyton, who had already gotten out of her seat, so they kind of met half way in an embrace.
"Where's jenny?" Jake asked, there was a certain panic in his voice.
"There still examining her, god Jake I'm so sorry." Peyton said.
"No Peyton it's not your fault." Jake said wrapping his arms around her and hugging her. Nathan was sitting down by Brooke, holding her hand, when the doctor walked in causing all of them to step forward up towards him.
"I have some bad news…" he said.
