"No, um my work. We just found a new girl to take into out shelter." Haley said.
"How old is she?" Brooke asked her.
"Um 11 or 12 I think her name's Carmen." Haley said.
"Wait, Carmen?" Brooke said.
"Yeah, I think." Haley said.
"Do you know what she looks like?" Brooke asked her.
"No, but I'm about to go meet her." Haley said.
"Haley you have to get me a picture of this girl." Brooke said.
"Ok..." Haley said hesitantly. "I'm just not going to ask, and I'll work on getting you that picture. We should all go out to dinner, like you me Nathan Peyton Lucas, Jake." Haley said.
"Yeah." Brooke said.
"Alright, I'll call you later, and I won't tell anyone about you being pregnant." Haley said. "Bye."
"Bye." Brooke said watching Haley walk out of the apartment. Brooke slowly got off the couch and walked back into her room. Being pregnant was tiresome.
After practice Kevin and Brian were in the locker room changing and talking.
"So, about Brooke…" Brian said.
"What about her?" Kevin said a little defensively.
"Well, I mean, were you being serious when you were talking about hooking up with her earlier?" brain asked him throwing his towel in the laundry basket.
"I don't know, I mean I would if she would." Kevin said.
"Well how are you going to find out if she would?" Brian asked him.
"I don't know, why don't you ask her for me." Kevin said sarcastically.
"Ok." Brian said smiling.
"Yeah, I wasn't being serious Brian." Kevin said.
"Oh, right hey it's hard to tell with you man." Brian said "so what are you going to do?"
"I don't know; let me think about it, these things have to be carefully executed if you know what I mean." Kevin said.
"I think so, wait executed is like…"
"It has to be planned carefully." Kevin said "I'll see you tomorrow." Kevin said hitting him on the arm, grabbing his bag and walking out of the locker room. Brian shook his head and followed after him.
Lucas got to the apartment went into his and Brooke's room to see her sleeping there. Brooke even looked good when she was sleeping. He dropped his bag and walked into the bathroom, and Brooke woke up.
"Lucas?" she mumbled.
"Yeah." Lucas said popping out from the bathroom.
"Hey." She said stretching as she sat up.
"Hey." Lucas said grabbing his bag from off the floor and sitting down next to her. "ok so I got you a couple of things that might make you more excited about this whole baby thing." Lucas said.
"Presents? I freaking love presents. Give them." Brooke said holding out her arms like a child.
"Well first I have this magazine." Lucas said pulling out a baby clothing magazine and handing it to Brooke.
"Oh, well honey this is nice, but we don't even know if it's a boy or a girl yet so…" Brooke said and Lucas cut her off.
"I know and that's why I got you this one too." He said handing her a maternity clothes magazine.
"Ok, now this is what I'm talking about. If I'm going to be pregnant I can at least get super hot clothes." Brooke said snatching the magazine and already starting to look through the pages. "Oh, thanks I guess." Brooke said.
"You guess?" he asked her out of desperation.
"Well you know I would've preferred something with the label jimmy choo on it but this works to." Brooke said and then she saw the look on Lucas's face "hey, this is super cute. Thanks. I love you." Brooke said leaning over and kissing him.
"Right well I guess I love you too." Lucas said.
"Uh, hey." Brooke said hitting him playfully.
"Just kidding." Lucas said.
"You better be because I'm having your baby. Or am I? You know that hot mystery guy I was talking about on our honeymoon, it could totally be his." Brooke said.
"You enjoy making me jealous?" Lucas asked her.
"Hmm, kind of yeah." Brooke said laughing "but I enjoy making you kiss me more." She said pulling her over to him so that there faces were inches away.
"Now kiss me stupid." Brooke said.
Lucas laughed a little before kissing her, after a few seconds he pulled away.
"Anyways, I just got you those so you would be more in the mood have this baby." Lucas said.
"Well it certainly helps." Brooke said.
"Are you hungry?" he asked her.
"Yes, actually I'm starving." Brooke said.
"Good, that's a good sign." Lucas said. "What do you want?"
"Do I have to have a special diet when I'm pregnant, and I guess high risk pregnant?" Brooke asked him.
"No alcohol." Lucas said.
"Not shit Lucas, god I don't want my baby to be drunk when it's born." Brooke said.
"I think you should just eat healthy, you know salads whole wheat stuff." Lucas said.
"Basically everything I hate." Brooke said
"Alright, I'm going to pick you up some chicken pasta and a small salad. How does that sound?" Lucas asked her.
"Great." Brooke said.
"Alright, I'll be back soon." Lucas said.
"Wait, what am I suppose to do while you're gone?" Brooke asked him.
"Look at your magazines, god I didn't know being pregnant would make you stupid." Lucas said.
"You did not just say that broody." Brooke said.
"Your right, I didn't. Oh by the way I got the teaching job." Lucas said.
"You did? Lucas that's so freaking sweet." Brooke said jumping up and hugging him. "It took you a while to tell me that." Brooke said.
"That's because I wasn't sure if it was good or bad news." Lucas said.
"What do you mean? Of course its great news." Brooke said.
"Yeah, I mean I'll only be gone for like another two hours tops out of the day." Lucas said.
"I'm still going to full days of work so that means you can too, don't worry so much. Focus on your job, and getting my food." Brooke said.
"Ok, I'll be back." Lucas said kissing her quickly and grabbing his bag and leaving.
Brooke lied back down on the bed and started to flip through her magazine. Wow maternity clothes weren't that bad. She was about to flip the page when the phone rang.
"Hello?" she said.
"Hi is this Brooke?" A voice said.
"Um, yes who's this?" Brooke said in a confused voice.
"Oh, it's Kevin from Coach Scott, or I guess your husbands team." Kevin said.
"Oh, right, Lucas just left he should be back soon though can I take a message?" Brooke asked him.
"Um well yeah. There's going to be an opening season party after out first game next Friday and we just wanted to let him know to be there, and you're invited too of course." Kevin said.
"Ok, is there any information like when or where it is you know what outfit should I wear?" Brooke asked him, trying to make a joke.
"Oh, yeah ill just tell him tomorrow I guess." Kevin said.
"Ok." Brooke said, this kid was not going to laugh.
"Right, nice talking to you." Kevin said.
"You too." Brooke said hanging up the phone.
Weird Brooke thought.
The next day Lucas woke up early to make sure he wouldn't be late to his first day teaching, well assistant teaching.
"Lucas." Brooke pounded on the bathroom door "Lucas! I have to take a shower and I have to get ready or I'm going to be late and you don't even have to go to work until ten, so get out of the bathroom." Brooke yelled but he still didn't answer the door.
"Lucas." Brooke yelled pounding on the door but this time Lucas opened causing Brooke to fall into the bathroom, and fortunately into his arms.
"Hello cheery." Lucas said, he was wearing just boxers.
"Broody, jeez how much time do you need in the bathroom. You're like a girl." Brooke said
"Brooke, didn't you say you had to take a shower?" Lucas asked her.
"Yeah so can you get out of here?" She asked him starting to push him out the door.
"Hey don't you want some company?" he asked her bringing her arms up to his chest and hugging her.
"EW Lucas no, I have to go to work." Brooke said.
"You're not very cheery this morning." Lucas said.
"I'm pregnant get over it." Brooke said finally getting him out of the door and closing it.
"Ok." Lucas said to himself.
Brooke got to work and was about to walk into her office when Betsy stepped in front of her.
"Brooke! Oh my god, are you feeling better. I heard you went to the hospital, gosh that is just so scary." Betsy said.
"Oh, yeah I'm feeling a lot better. Thanks." Brooke said feeling a little enclosed.
"Ok, I'll let you get to work. Well I should also get to work. But yeah anyways… bye." Betsy said waving her hand and walking quickly down the hall.
"Yeah." Brooke said walking into her office and sitting down. There was a pile of papers on her desk. Wasn't there like a secretary or someone that could sort through all of this? Oh well. There was a knock at her door and Haley walked in.
"Hey Haley." Brooke said moving all of her papers off of her desk causing a bunch of them to fall on the floor.
"Oh." Haley said going over to pick them up.
"No leave them." Brooke said not caring that half of the papers had fallen on the floor.
"Ok." Haley said hesitantly sitting down in a chair across from Brooke and looking back at the papers; Haley couldn't stand to have things messy.
"So what brings you to my office?" Brooke asked her.
"Um, I got you a picture of Carmen." Haley said.
"Oh good can I see it?" Brooke asked her excitedly.
"No I just came here to tell you that I had it." Haley said sarcastically. "Yes you can see it." She got it out of her purse and handed it to Brooke.
"Oh my god." Brooke said. "This is the same girl."
"Same girl, what do you mean?" Haley asked her.
"Ok so get this Lucas and I are flying back from out honeymoon and we have to sit next to this girl, by the way she totally took my window seat so I was like way pissed off at her, but anyways turns out she wasn't that bad. So we get back to town and I sort of stormed off on Lucas while we were eating dinner and I saw her in the gas station." Brooke said quickly like it was the story of her life.
"Ok well…" Haley said but Brooke cut her off.
"Weird thing about all of this is that she said she was coming to New York for her uncle's funeral. Like her parents had to leave early or something. God this is so weird."
Brooke said shaking her head out of disbelief.
"Well all of that could be true." Haley said.
"What? Ok how?" Brooke asked starting to feel really confused.
"We just found her on the streets, and when we asked her where her parents was she said they went back home and left her here." Haley said.
"So her parents just abandoned her? That sucks." Brooke said.
"She could have lied we don't know." Haley said "but she's in our establishment."
"It's just weird; her parents would fly her all the way out here and then just leave her." Brooke said.
"Yeah it doesn't make sense; I think there must be something more to this. But we'll just have to wait to figure this out." Haley said.
"Am I allowed to see her?" Brooke asked Haley.
"Um." Haley said getting up and starting to pick up all the papers off of the floor.
"Haley stop picking up my office." Brooke said.
"Ok, I'm just picking up a few papers."
"No." Brooke said snatching the papers out of her hands and throwing them back on the floor.
"Brooke." Haley said.
"Haley, just sit back down." Brooke said pointing to the chair.
"You're so weird." Haley said.
"No you are, no one actually wants to clean." Brooke said.
"I don't want to I just do it so things look nice." Haley said.
"I bet Nathan loves that." Brooke said.
"Whatever, back to your question it's not normally policy to just bring in strangers to see the kids." Haley said.
"But I'm not a stranger; by fate I've seen this girl twice so fate is basically calling me to see her again." Brooke said.
"I'll see what I can do." Haley said.
"Thanks." Brooke said.
"So Brooke how are you feeling? I mean with morning sickness and all of that good stuff."
"Oh well actually I haven't had any today." Brooke said.
"Mm, then your due for it any time now." Haley said
"Great I'm looking forward to that." Brooke said sarcastically, there was a sort of awkward pause between the two of them.
"Haley, what did I get myself into?" Brooke asked her.
"Something that will change your life forever, but in a good way." Haley said. "I can't really tell you but once you get past the morning sickness and the birth part of everything it's just amazing and despite what you might think I think you'll be a great mother, and I'm smarter then you so I know better." Haley said smiling.
"Hey!" Brooke said laughing. "Well I guess that's true." Brooke said.
"What that you're going to be a great mother?"
"No, that you're smarter then me." Brooke said.
"Oh, shut up." Haley said.
"Well it's true." Brooke said.
"Ok whatever I have to go see out little mystery girl Carmen." Haley said.
"So when can I see her?' Brooke asked Haley.
"I don't know let me talk to some people first. I'll call you later. Bye." Haley said walking out the door quickly.
"Bye." Brooke said to herself since Haley had already walked out of the door.
Lucas got to the principal office early and the two of them walked over to the classroom where Lucas would be teaching. When they got inside a woman who looked to be about 40 was sitting at the desk looking through papers.
"Mrs. Barns." The principal said clearing his throat.
"Oh hi." Mrs. Barns said looking up from her papers and slipping her reading glasses off. She got up and walked over to Lucas and the principal.
"This is Lucas Scott, your English assistant for what should be the remainder of the year." The principal said.
"Hi, I'm Mrs. Barns and I'm a little crazy but you know. These kids can do that to you." She said waving her hands around when she talked.
"I know what you mean and I've only been coaching for two days." Lucas said.
"Well when there are girls in the mix it's a totally different story. I'm telling you these kids are like tigers you just cannot keep them off of each other." Mrs. Barns said. Lucas had to refrain from laughing.
"Right." Lucas mumbled.
"Ok well I'll leave you two to get acquainted." The principal said nodding his head as if to almost salute them and walked out the door.
"Ok so right now we're reading One Flew over the Cuckoos nest." Mrs. Barns said.
"Oh that's a great book." Lucas said.
"Yeah we just started; last night was their first reading assignment of it so this should be an interesting class." She said taking her seat at her desk.
"So what do you need me to do?" Lucas asked her.
"Well, whenever I have to miss this class you should be able to fill in for me, and sometimes I'll ask you to lead the discussion. Help grade papers. Assistant type stuff but also I'll try to give you good training for what it's like to be an English teacher." She said.
"Ok." Lucas said "sounds good." He said.
"I think there are twenty kids in this class just so you know and I think today I'll just have you introduce yourself and try to get them to introduce themselves and I'll let you go. Here's a copy of the syllabus so you can keep up with the reading and you know a good idea is just to outline a few discussion ideas." She said as a couple girls who were talking walked into the class, but they stopped when they saw Lucas. They were most likely popular judging by the way they dressed and how outgoing they were.
"Mrs. Barns who is this?" A blond haired girl asked her.
"This is Lucas Scott he is going to be my assistant for the rest of the year." Mrs. Barns said.
"Hi, my name's Jessica." She said waving at him as she sat down at her desk.
"I'm Claire." The other one said.
"Hey." Lucas said.
"Oh there's one rule in my class and it's that you never use the word hey." Mrs. Barns said turning to Lucas.
"Oh, sorry." Lucas said.
Jessica and Claire laughed a little bit as a bunch more guys and girls walked in, two of which were Kevin and Brian.
"Whoa, coach Scott what are you doing here?" Brian asked him.
"I'm the assistant English teacher." Lucas said.
"Weird." Brian said taking a seat next to Claire. Kevin sat down next to Jessica and stole her cell phone off of her desk.
"Kevin, give me my cell back." She said trying to take it out of his hands.
"Wait I want to see if there are any pictures of me on here." He said.
"You wish." She said laughing and giving up on getting it back; she didn't mind flirting with him.
"Aw, no pictures of me." He said "remind me later and you can take one of me." He said.
"Whatever." She said taking her phone back.
"You know you want to." He said sitting down.
"Do not." She said hitting him playfully.
"Alright everyone settle down." Mrs. Barns said standing up. Everyone fell silent. "This is Lucas Scott; he's going to be my assistant teacher for the rest of the year." She said motioning for Lucas to stand up. He did.
"Hi everyone." Lucas said feeling very nervous.
"Can everyone please introduce themselves?" Mrs. Barns asked the class.
Jessica raised her hand immediately, and Kevin quickly pushed it down and raised his and she put hers back up again but he just pushed it down.
"Kevin…" Jessica whined.
"What I want to introduce myself." He said.
"Kevin, you can go." Mrs. Barns said sighing.
"ha." He said to Jessica causing her to smile.
"Well we already know each other, but um I have a question for you." Kevin said.
"Ok can we wait till everyone's done introducing themselves before questions." Mrs. Barns said.
"Ok." Kevin said leaning back into his seat. Everyone else started introducing themselves the whole time Kevin and Jessica were talking and flirting.
"Alright does anyone have any questions?" Mrs. Barns asked them
"Dude, you had one." Jessica said to Kevin.
"Oh, right." Kevin said and raised his hand.
"Yes Kevin." Mrs. Barns said.
"Alright so coach Scott did you get the message about the basketball party?" Kevin asked him.
"Um no." Lucas said.
"Oh well I called your house last night and talked to Brooke. Anyway it's no big deal I'll tell you about it in practice." Kevin said.
"Ok." Lucas said confuse as you why Brooke wouldn't tell him about this.
"Alright any more questions. No of course not." Mrs. Barns said sighing again "alright well then can everyone take out their books."
Kevin took out a piece of paper, like he had the book. He wrote a note and took Jessica's hand and slipped it into her hand. "Hand it to Brian." Kevin whispered to her.
"Ok." She said and she handed it to Brian. Brian opened it up and it read…
