Hey guys…ok pre chapter note lol…yeah, so tell me what you'd like to see go on- I have a general idea of the Brucas drama that'll be ensuing in not too long, but I would love your suggestions so I can get things going!

"Ow!" Lucas exclaimed early in the morning.

"Oops sorry Broody I whacked you" Brooke giggled, kissing Lucas good morning.

"Brooke…" Lucas whispered, pulling her down on his chest. "Where are you going?"

"Breakfast! I'm hungry" Brooke giggled. "Wanna come?"

"When I look like this?"

"Yeah…just put on a shirt" Brooke said. "Wait, on second thought…"

"Brooke" Lucas laughed, pulling a shirt over his head. "You're so cute…hold on, lemme go brush my teeth"

"God Lucas, you're so behind- I did that 30 minutes ago!"

"Sorry"

10 minutes later, they were ready to leave for breakfast.

"Come on Lucas" Brooke whined, pulling his hand and pulling him out the door.

"Coming…" he laughed, following her out the door.

"Shoot, it's so cold!" Brooke exclaimed. "I'm like frozen"

"Are you cold, babe?" Lucas asked, ready to remove his jacket.

"Lucas are you nuts, you'll freeze…it's my stupidity for not bringing a coat"

"Come here" he laughed, pulling her into his arms and wrapping his jacket around her. "I can't see you cold, are you kidding me? It'll kill me"

"Lucas…" Brooke said softly, putting her head on his chest as they stood in the cold. "I love you"

"Love you too"

"Mama!"

"Hey Jenny" Peyton smiled, picking the little girl up and sitting her down on the counter table. "How are you?"

"Mama"

"Yes mama's here" Peyton laughed.

"My two favorite girls" Jake said, seeing Peyton giggling with Jenny.

"My…only boyfriend" Peyton giggled.

"Good morning" Jake laughed.

"Morning…what are we doing today?"

"We could go hang out with the crew" Jake said, opening the refrigerator door and pulling out yogurt.

"That sounds fun"

"Yeah"

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

"Who's visiting at such an hour?" Peyton asked, opening the door.

"Well, if it isn't the other woman"

"Nikki? What the hell are you doing here?" Jake asked sharply, arriving at the door with Jenny.

"Coming back to claim my daughter, idiot" Nikki spat.

"Remember…the judge gave me full custody of her?"

"Screw the law, Jake…I wanna know my daughter" Nikki said. "And she needs to know her mother"

"Uh…she already does" Jake said, pointing at Peyton.

"What are you talking about? That little bitch isn't her mother…she's her babysitter!"

"Uh no…she happens to be my girlfriend and Jenny's mother" Jake said.

"Jenny doesn't think of Peyton as her mother"

"Yeah she does…hey Jenny, who's that?" Jake asked, pointing at Peyton.

"Mama!"

"Yeah, that's right" Jake said, kissing the blonde head and handing her to Peyton. "See, Nikki, Peyton is her mother…and you aren't- so you can leave before the police shows up and hauls you off to another one of your institutions"

"Jake…can we just talk?"

"About what, Nikki? You basically kidnapped my daughter, then got me sent to jail, broke my heart and made me break Peyton's in the process- we have nothing TO talk about!"

"I want a part in Jenny's life…really badly. Look, I know what I did was wrong, and it's still wrong, and it always will be wrong, but I wanna know her"

"So you can what, corrupt her? No, Nikki! I'm calling the police if you don't leave"

"Jake…please. Lets just talk, let me explain things to you" Nikki said, her eyes filling with tears and her voice softening.

"Uh…that would be a negative" Jake said sarcastically, mocking her.

"Jake…" Nikki trailed off.

"Fine, Nikki…tonight at 6 at the Rivercourt, and don't be late" Jake said, shut the door in her face. "Are you ok with this Peyton?"

"Yeah…" Peyton said softly. "I'll watch Jenny"

"Thanks, Peyton" Jake said, hugging her.

"Mama!"

"Yeah?" Peyton said, holding back silent tears and taking Jenny from Jake.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Brooke can you come over?" Peyton cried into the phone.

"Yeah! I'll be right there" Brooke said, looking worried. "Come on Luke we're going to Peyton's"

"Ok" Lucas said, confused.

10 minutes later, they were at Peyton's. Brooke ran in and hugged Peyton tightly.

"What's the matter, Peyton?"

"Nikki came back" Peyton said, tears falling from her eyes. "And Jake and her are meeting at the Rivercourt tonight to discuss things"

"Wait, he did that to you?"

"I let him!" Peyton cried. Brooke hugged her best friend and exchanged worried looks with Lucas, who was standing uncomfortably at the corner of the room.

"Mama!" Jenny whined from her playpen.

"Hold on Jenny" Brooke told the little girl.

"No, mama!"

"Hey Jenny…come on, you wanna go outside?" Lucas asked her, picking her up out of the playpen.

"Mama"

"Right…come on Jenny" Lucas laughed, swinging her around. She giggled and bounced up and down. "Ah…you like that!" he said, swinging her around again. She giggled again and grabbed Lucas's shirt. He rubbed her back gently and carried her outside to the patio. Brooke's heart melted but she fought to concentrate on comforting Peyton.

"Its ok, Peyton- it'll be fine. I'm sure nothing will happen"

"I know nothing will happen, Brooke, its just that Nikki always complicates things right when everything seems to be going ok"

"I know…Peyton I'm sorry"

"Its ok, I guess…whatever"

"Ok…well me and Luke should bounce, but call me if you need anything, ok?" Brooke said.

"Yeah…thank you for coming Brooke"

"No problem…hey hot stuff, time to go" Brooke called, walking outside to get Lucas.

"Shh Brooke, Jenny's asleep" Lucas laughed, kissing Brooke's hair.

"Aw she's so cute" Brooke whispered, stroking the sleeping baby's face. "Adorable"

"I know…I'll give her to Peyton and then we can leave" Lucas said, walking in and handing Jenny to Peyton.

"Thanks for watching her, Luke"

"No problem" he smiled hugging her and following Brooke out the door.

Once they were home, Brooke started chattering like usual.

"You were so cute with Jenny, Broody!" she squealed.

"Haha- thanks?" he laughed, kissing her.

"No seriously- it was so cute" she giggled. "But I can't believe Jake! Meeting with Nikki! He's gonna destroy her, Lucas"

"I know…I'm worried about her…I wish I talked to her a little bit more" Lucas said sadly.

"But you can't because it'll look like you and her have something going again" Brooke said quietly.

"Yeah" Lucas grimaced. "Look, Brooke, is that gonna always be a little thorn in our side?"

"It isn't, Lucas, you're making it a thorn in our side! You're letting it stand in the way of your friendship with Peyton, which I have nothing against! You're always the one acting all timid about the subject, but you're also the one who brings it up! If I'm willing to forgive and forget, then why aren't you?"

"I am, Brooke! But God, every time I even look at Peyton, I can feel the jealousy radiating from you- you might have forgiven, but you haven't forgotten!"

"I am not jealous of her, Lucas! She's practically MARRIED to Jake with a baby that calls her mama, believe me that is not the life I want at 18, and she has Jake and her own life- and I don't care who you look at!"

"Please, Brooke, you're being all I don't care but I can tell you care and it bothers me that you don't trust me"

"You know what, Lucas, I DON'T trust you fully- that's gonna take a while and if you care about me, then you'll stick with it and wait for my heart to recover from all that you put it through" Brooke said, tears threatening to spill over.

"God…Brooke don't cry…I'm sorry, I'm an ass" Lucas said, instantly feeling his throat constrict as he saw his girlfriend's hazel eyes lose their sparkle and fill with tears.

"Why, Lucas? Why don't you think I trust you? Because I know I said I don't, but deep down I'm kind of inclined to trust you" Brooke sobbed.

"I'm so sorry, Brooke" Lucas whispered, wrapping his arms around her. "I'm just being stubborn, all the things you said, I do them, and you're right…and I hope you trust me"

"I do…not fully" Brooke clarified. "But I trust you"

"I know…and if you'll be willing to let down your guard, then I'll make sure nothing will happen with us to put it back up, ok? I love you too much Brooke"

"Ok…Lucas" Brooke laughed. "I love you"

"Love you too"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Jake, I just want a part in my daughter's life" Nikki pleaded.

"I don't want you to have a part in my daughter's life!"

"Well I do want to have a part…I love her, Jake, I gave birth to her…I deserve the right to be with her!"

"You deserve nothing! You left her in the car in the freezing night when you were passed out at a random bar; I can't trust you with her! She wouldn't be alive by the end of the day"

"Jake, I've matured since then"

"You've matured in the past year?"

"Yes, I have! Look, I'm working on getting rid of my alcohol problem…I went to a therapist and I'm in counseling and I have a steady job with a photography company and you remember how much I love photography, right?" she said softly. "And I make enough that I could support her if you let her come see me every other weekend or something"

"Look, Nikki, I can't do that! I have no proof that you've changed, ok? I'm not dating you anymore, I have no idea, I don't see a heart when I see you Nikki, I see a deep, swirling black hole!"

"That really hurts me Jake" Nikki whispered.

"Well you really hurt me, Nikki…and you cannot see my daughter- if you wanna go to the judge and appeal for another court order and see if you can get custody of Jenny, then go for it, but I'll fight till the end to make sure Jenny isn't exposed to someone like you" Jake turned around to leave and get in his car when he heard Nikki cry and call out his name.

"Jake- I'm pregnant"

A/N: Dun! Dun! Dun! A cliffhanger! Is it Jakes? You'll have to wait for the next chapter and review if you wanna know! Hehe!
