"Brooke, sweetie, wake UP!" Lucas said, a little frustrated.
"This is your daughter making me sleepy"
"Well sleepy head mommy and daughter, we have to move today" Lucas laughed, kissing Brooke's forehead and throwing off the covers.
"Oh…Lucas…cold" Brooke said, curling up into a ball.
"Brooke…its summer, how is it cold?"
"Because you have the air conditioner on 72!"
"You're the one who says it's hot!"
"Pregnant hormones…" Brooke whined. "It sucks"
"I'm sorry" Lucas sympathized, pulling Brooke into a hug. "I love you; does that make it any better?"
"A lot" Brooke pouted, kissing Lucas. "I can't believe we're moving to Chapel Hill!"
"Yeah well Hales and Nate are already up there so we're not leaving friends behind" Lucas reasoned. "You wanna carry your stuff for the trip out? The suitcases and boxes were already shipped"
"In this? I have to shower" Brooke said.
"Me too" Lucas said.
"Hmm…Mr. Scott, shall we?"
"We shall, Mrs. Scott" Lucas said. "Well…almost Mrs. Scott"
"I will be in…mm whenever we decide to get married, fiancée" Brooke giggled, kissing Lucas. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead.
"I love you, you know that?"
"Of course I do"
"And we'll have our baby so soon!" Lucas said.
"3 months" Brooke said, patting her stomach. "Only three more months of this agony and then I can see my baby girl"
"Yeah" Lucas smiled. "And today I get to find out whether or not I made it onto the team"
"Really?"
"Oh yeah" Lucas said. "Today…phone call at 5:00"
"Ooh should be exciting- you think you're gonna get on?" Brooke asked.
"I don't wanna jinx it"
"Well if you do, me and your daughter will cheer for you"
"Ah…my biggest fans"
"Of course" Brooke giggled. "Come on hubby- oh wait, not yet!"
"Soon, Brooke…very soon…I cant wait till I can call you my wife"
"Aw" Brooke said, tearing up.
"Cheery…don't be teary" Lucas said.
"Ok" Brooke sniffled. "Shower time"

"Nate!" Haley shrieked.
"Yes my dear?" Nathan called back.
"Nathan Scott do not sass me, come here right now"
"Ok" Nathan said. "What's up?"
"Babies kicked" Haley giggled. "Feel!"
"Really?" Nathan asked, placing a hand on her stomach. "That's great, Haley!"
"Yeah" Haley smiled. "Brooke and Lucas are moving up today and he finds out whether he made it onto the team or not today too"
"How do you know this?" Nathan asked, confused.
"You, my dear, do not know the information sources I am privy too" Haley said dramatically.
"Huh?"
"He's my best friend we talk way more than you think!"
"Oh" Nathan laughed. "I know whether or not he made it on" he said.
"Did he?" Haley asked curiously.
"Promise not tell?"
"Promise"
"He did"
"That's so good!" Haley shrieked. "Now their financial situation will improve and things wont be so tight"
"With Brooke's parents as money sources? I don't think anything would ever be tight"
"Would you wanna rely on Dan for money?" Haley asked, placing her hands on her hips.
"Hell no!"
"Do you think Brooke would wanna ask her parents for money the rest of her life?"
"No…"
"See" Haley said, kissing Nathan. "Come on…lets go"
"Where?"
"To their apartment! I was gonna surprise them with a new kitchenware set"
"That you bought?"
"Uh huh" Haley giggled. Nathan shook his head and followed her down the stairs of their house.
"Be careful" Nathan said, steadying Haley.
"I swear we need an elevator" Haley said, panting as she got off the last stair. "Your daughters, I swear…"
"Girls, your mother really does love you" Nathan said importantly.
"Hey!"
"I love you?"
"Good answer"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Lucas are we there yet?" Brooke whined.
"A thing called an iPod, Brooke, is a miracle to curb whininess"
"What?"
"Listen to the darn thing" Lucas laughed.
"Fine! At least when I have the baby I'll be entertained" Brooke said. A look of fear crossed her face.
"You ok?" Lucas asked.
"Yeah, its just that I realized I'm gonna be having a baby in 3 months, Lucas, and I'm totally not ready"
"Brooke, sweetie, do you think anyone's ever ready to have a baby?"
"Haley is!"
"Haley is not, Brooke, and nobody ever is unless you've had them before- look, you'll be fine and I tell you again, you'll be great" Lucas said. "I understand that you're nervous, and I understand that you're scared, but so am I…we'll get through this together- we have Peyt and Jake both of whom have basically raised a child, once things calm down with Hales and her twins she'll offer you advice, and we'll have plenty of people"
"Like your mother?" Brooke asked.
"Brooke"
"You know she hates me"
"She doesn't hate you…just resents you"
"Great, I have two sets of parents who hate me" Brooke pouted.
"But everyone else loves you" Lucas laughed. "Like me" he said, reaching over to grab her hand and play with her engagement ring. "Onto happier subjects…have we come up with any name choices for our little girl?"
"Hmm yeah I have some ideas"
"Such as…?"
"I like the name Emily"
"Nice" Lucas said. "We can pore over the baby book when we have extra time" Lucas laughed.
"Yeah!" Brooke giggled. Lucas chuckled and turned the corner. "Are we there yet?"
"I hope our daughter doesn't take after you"
"Lucas!"
"Well if she's gonna be asking are we there yet 24/7 then…" Lucas said.
"Lucas…"
"Kidding baby"
"Uh huh" Brooke pouted.
"We'll be there in 20 minutes" Lucas said.
"20 minutes? That's so long!"
"Not that long"
"Longer than 15" Brooke whined.
"By five minutes" Lucas laughed.
"I like the number 5"
"I get the hint" Lucas said, accelerating a little. 15 minutes later, they were there.
"SO…this is our house now" Brooke said, opening the door. The clean wood smell reminded her of when she moved to Tree Hill.
"Yeah…our home and the home of our child" Lucas said, looking at Brooke. "We're grown up now, Brooke"
"Yeah, but I can't think of anyone else I'd rather grow up with than you" she smiled.
"Same here…shall we christen the new house?" Lucas asked, pushing her hair off her neck and kissing her softly.
"Lucas…" Brooke giggled. Lucas pouted. "Fine you're too cute to resist, but what about the unpacking?"
"Screw that- we've got an entire summer"
"Well then husband…lets go"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Lucas Scott?"
"Yes sir?" Lucas said, anticipating the news he was about to receive. Brooke grabbed his arm.
"I would like to welcome you to the Charlotte Bobcats!"
A/N: so...nothing much to say but review!
