"Emmy please hush" Haley said. "God this one is so stubborn, just like you"
"And Lyssa is quiet and sweet just like you" Nathan laughed, taking Emily from Haley and patting her back. "See I know this one" he said, turning Emily onto her stomach and holding her like an airplane. Instantly, the little girl quieted and cooed.
"How'd you know how to do that!" Haley asked.
"My mother did the same with me when I was little and she said it worked every time"
"Wow" Haley laughed, putting Alyssa in her crib and doing the same with Emily. "They're good babies though- we've gotten practically full nights of sleep"
"Yeah, they are good" Nathan agreed. "We lucked out"
Brooke bounced in a second later and bounded to the crib. "How are my nieces? I have come to spoil them rotten…hi Emmy, hi Lyssa" Brooke cooed, picking up Alyssa. "I love Alyssa and Emmy…they're gonna be so spoiled by their favorite aunt"
"I think I'm their favorite aunt" Taylor said; walking in, towel drying her hair.
"Tay!"
"My favorite ho" Taylor giggled, hugging Brooke and awkwardly hugging Lucas.
"SO which one's the quiet one?" Brooke asked.
"Alyssa" Haley, Nathan, and Taylor chorused.
"Oh wow…see Emmy and I bonded in the hospital and I knew she was gonna be just like me" Brooke said. Haley shuddered.
"Brooke, I love you, but I wouldn't want my precious girls to be corrupted to your evil ways"
"I don't have evil ways" Brooke pouted. "Its ok, my daughter will be corrupted"
"Oh yeah" Lucas nodded. "Brooke makes her listen to Britney all day"
"Well you're at practice, what am I SUPPOSED to do?"
"Read to her…and not Elle or Seventeen"
"FINE" Brooke sighed. "Emmy and Alyssa, your uncle is NUTS"
"Emmy and Alyssa, your aunt is even nuttier"
"What are we, squirrels?" Nathan asked.
"And your father…he's a COCONUT" Brooke said in an audible whisper.
"Brooke!" Nathan chided.
"Sorry" Brooke giggled, smacking Nathan's arm. "You know you love me"
"Right, right" Nathan said, rolling his eyes.

"What?" Jake asked into the phone, his eyes wide open with shock. "And she's asking for ME?"
"What, what?" Peyton asked.
"Nikki went into premature labor and she had the baby who's in intensive care and they say she keeps asking for ME" Jake said, scratching his head. "And asking for Jenny"
"Well then lets go" Peyton said.
"Peyt-"
"Look, Jake, its fine- you have a history with her and you need to be there"
"Ok, I appreciate that" Jake said, grabbing Jenny's diaper bag and his keys. "I wonder what's going on"
A few minutes later, they were at the hospital. Jake, Jenny, and Peyton rushed to the room where Nikki was. The once eyeliner clad, angry woman was now looking helpless and weak.
"Jake" she whispered hoarsely.
"Nikki…what's going on?"
"Look…I don't have much time…I had the baby, it's a boy…his name is Adrian Matthew…please, Jake- take care of him"
"What, Nikki, what's wrong?" Jake asked.
"I'm dying"
"No, you're not!" Jake said.
"I am…can I see Jenny?"
"Yeah" Jake said. Nikki reached out her hand and took Jenny's softly.
"Jenny, I love you…and I know you'll hate the memory of me when you grow up, but you've got a good mother…Peyton will be great…just always know that I died loving you and your little brother very much…"
"Nikki, don't do this!" Jake said.
"Jake…bye" Nikki said, and she closed her eyes.
"DOCTOR!" Jake yelled. This was happening too fast.
"Mr. Jageilski- she's gone" the doctor said solemnly. "She didn't leave her son in custody of anyone…is there a person you can think of that would be willing to take him in?" the doctor asked.
"Yeah…me"

"Lucas come feel! Baby's kicking a lot" Brooke giggled. Lucas smiled and kissed Brooke.
"I am so excited now"
"I know" Brooke said. "I love Emmy and Alyssa to death; they are such precious little babies"
"They're so good…well except for Emily"
"I like Emmy…she's my favorite" Brooke said. "Shh…but I love Lyssa too"
"I love Lyssa…she's so quiet" Lucas said.
"She's a brooder like you"
"Maybe she gets it from me"
"Maybe" Brooke giggled. "I can't wait to see what our daughter looks like"
"I know…I bet she'll be gorgeous like her mommy"
"You think?" Brooke asked.
"Of course" Lucas said.
"And I bet she'll be a brooder like her daddy"
"Or hyper like her mommy"
"I am not hyper!"
"Brooke, if this pregnancy has done anything to you, it's made you even more hyper" Lucas laughed, kissing her forehead. Brooke pouted and looked up at him. Lucas chuckled and kissed her nose, making her giggle and bury her head in Lucas's chest.
"I love you, Lucas"
"I love you too, Brooke" Lucas laughed, hugging her tighter.
"Wanna go see our nieces and spoil them some more?"
"Cant think of anything more fun to do" he laughed, grabbing her waist and tickling her.
"Lucas Scott" Brooke said, twisting and giggling. "Let go of me!"
"Not until you say you love me!"
"I love you" Brooke giggled, turning around to kiss him. "You know how ticklish I am!"
"And I love taking full advantage of that" Lucas laughed. Brooke pouted but her eyes twinkled with laughter.
"Come on Broody…race you to the car!"
