"Class is over, you may talk" the teacher said, and Brooke turned around to chat with Haley and Lucas.
"That was sufficiently boring" Brooke complained.
"I know I nearly fell asleep" Lucas agreed. "Too bad it's only January!"
"I know, how badly do you want summer to be here?" Brooke asked.
"My only wish…I find it funny that we're ALL going to the same college" Lucas laughed.
"That's something we would do" Brooke laughed. "University of North Carolina, here we come- the fabulous six"
"Uh aren't they the fabulous four?" Nathan asked.
"I don't care…I'm invisible woman" Brooke giggled.
"What am I?" Lucas asked.
"You're the human torch" Brooke laughed, winking. Lucas grinned and exchanged looks with Nathan who was smirking in a know it all way. Nathan had spent 2 hours the night before convincing him Brooke was head over heels in love with him but Lucas had blatantly said he thought she liked him as nothing other than a friend.
"Well I'm guessing that's a good thing" Lucas said.
"Oh yah" Brooke giggled, gathering her hair at one side of her neck and glancing up at him through her eyelashes. Lucas's heart pounded wildly as he watched her every move. The bell rang and snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Ok see you guys at lunch" Brooke said, and they all parted to go to class. Lucas and Brooke had the same class next, so he followed her there.
"Time to conquer Math, huh?" Lucas asked. Brooke giggled and nodded.
"So are we doing anything tonight?"
"Yah, I guess…Hales and Nate are busy…ahem…and Jake and Peyton have to take Jenny to the doctor, so it'd have to be just the two of us" Lucas said.
"Well then…if you can handle being alone with me" Brooke teased. Lucas laughed and they parted to find their seats.
No, I don't think I can handle being alone with her Lucas thought to himself. I might just go crazy.

"I'm coming, Lucas, gosh! Give a girl some time to get ready" Brooke laughed over her shoulder. Lucas was sitting on her bed, waiting for her to come out of the bathroom. To any stranger, it would look like they were going on a date. That's what Lucas wished they were doing. Brooke finally emerged from the bathroom in a maroon halter top and low rise jeans, and her hair was carefully curled. She leaned over her desk to look in the mirror, and she caught Lucas's eye.
God, she's so beautiful. If only she knew… he thought to himself as he looked at her in the mirror.
"Come on Broody, I'm ready" Brooke said, grabbing her purse.
"Alright, where are we going?" Lucas asked as they climbed into the car.
"Somewhere to eat- I'm starving" Brooke giggled.
"Alright"
"Ok this question is gonna sound random, but..."
"Uh oh am I gonna get a Brooke Davis random question?"
"Yes…do you think Haley and Nathan are trying to have a baby?" Brooke asked quickly.
"What? Brooke, I don't know" Lucas said uncomfortably. "They're kinda young to be raising a child, don't you think?"
"Yes…but it'd be SO cute…a little tutor baby!"
"Yes, I'm sure it would be" Lucas laughed.
"Hey don't squash my picket fence dream" Brooke giggled, smacking Lucas's shoulder. He shuddered slightly at her touch and closed his eyes for a second. God, he wanted to hold her hand so bad.
"I'm sorry, your picket fence dream will come true one day Brooke" Lucas laughed.
"I hope…what do you want?"
"I want to be in love…and married…and settled…and then I want children"
"Aw that is SO sweet; I've never heard a guy say things like that" Brooke said softly. "You're a good guy, Luke"
"I'm glad you think that, Brooke" Lucas said. "And I hate to bring this up right now, but what happened last year with Peyton-"
"Look, Lucas, that's in the past- all is forgiven. It was hard, but I love you and Peyton too much to lose either friendships" Brooke said reassuringly. "It made me think less of you for a while, but in the end I realize what went down, and I understand now…so it's ok" she smiled. He kissed the side of her head and helped her out of the car.
After dinner, Brooke and Lucas went on a surprisingly romantic walk on the boardwalk.
"Look, the ocean is so pretty" Brooke sighed, looking over the water.
"I know" Lucas said. "The stars are gorgeous"
"Too bad its like below zero" Brooke whined. Lucas pulled her into a hug and rubbed his hands on her arms.
"Warmer, now?"
"Definitely…thanks Lucas"
"No problem, Miss President"
"Hey, I told you not to call me that!" Brooke giggled, turning around to look up at Lucas. He gazed down at her hazel-green eyes and saw the twinkle and completely lost himself in them. "Lucas?"
"What? Oh sorry…well you're a good president…I like calling you Miss President"
"Lucas" Brooke laughed. He smiled and hugged her again.
"What are you gonna do about your speech about that new program?"
"The wireless internet?"
"Yah"
"I don't know…I'm gonna need your expertise" Brooke giggled. "You won me that election, Lucas"
"No, I didn't, Brooke…you won yourself that election- you did a stunning job at your campaign and you're doing such a good job as president" Lucas said.
"Thanks…I like hearing that" Brooke giggled. "Anyway, so what was that book you were going on about?"
"The Lord of the Rings trilogy?"
"Yah…with Orlando Bloom!" Brooke giggled.
"Brooke…" Lucas sighed.
"He's so hot, Lucas!"
"I know, but Orlando Bloom isn't in the book…just his character"
"Unfortunately" Brooke muttered. "Have you read the A-List?"
"Oh no that chick flick series?"
"HEY! They're my heroes"
"Girls who do nothing but shop all day?"
"Hey, I'm one of them…kind of"
"Not really…you're president of the student government, you're raising your grades quicker than any of us have ever done, you actually care about your grades and school and the people around you…you're a person, Brooke, and a good one at that" Lucas laughed.
"Good to know" Brooke giggled. "Ooh, cotton candy! Let's get cotton candy" Brooke giggled.
"No, Brooke, you know there's a chemical in cotton candy that drives you up the wall"
"Fine…let's go home then" she giggled, dragging Lucas to his car. They drove home, and he dropped her off.
"Bye Lucas…thanks for dinner and taking me out!"
"Bye Brooke" he called after her as he watched her shut the door to her house. "I love you" he whispered to himself.

"Nathan…I hate this color, you know it" Haley giggled. Nathan pulled her into a kiss. "Ok so maybe we can compromise" she giggled again.
"I love you, Hales, you know that, right?"
"Yah…but Nathan, I have to tell you something" Haley said.
"Ok…" Nathan said suspiciously. "What's up sweetheart?"
"I'm pregnant, Nathan…and I don't know if we're ready to have a baby with college and everything and I- Nathan? Baby, please say something"
"Uh can I have a minute to let this sink in?"
"Nathan…"
"Haley, if you don't want to have the baby, then I'm ok with that. If you want the baby, I'm ok with that too…we're married, we're financially ready…school wise…we've got the rest of our lives ahead of us Haley, and I'm doing plenty well with the team…but its your decision, sweetheart"
"Nathan, I don't know, I'm scared" Haley sobbed.
"Baby don't cry, you'll be a great mommy if you want the baby…the best"
"Can you just hold me?"
"Of course" Nathan answered
------------------------------------------ --------------------------------- ------------------------------- ----------------------------------
"Hush little Jenny go to sleep…" Peyton sang.
"My two favorite girls" Jake smiled, seeing Peyton rock Jenny.
"Mama"
"What, Jake, did you hear that?" Peyton gasped.
"Mama"
"Oh my gosh, she called you mama!" Jake said. "Jenny, who's that?"
"Mama" Jenny giggled, grabbing Peyton's shirt and cooing. "Mama"
"Jake…I can't believe this"
"I can't either" Jake sighed. "I guess you are her mother, right?"
"Mama" was all that they heard, and that was all they needed.
A/N: Again, sorry the story is so bad right now, its just building…I need ideas, suggestions, anything! Lol…seriously though, I'm like a little lost on what to do next…review!
