Lucas and Brooke drove into the parking lot. It had been a long ride home for Brooke. Her mind was racing. She wasn't sure if she should tell Lucas tonight, or tomorrow. If she did tell him tonight what was he going to say? How should she tell him? Should she drag it out or just flat out tell him? All this thinking was making her feel nauseous. Now she was just happy to be home in her house.

"I'll get the stuff…Want me to make some coffee when I come in? You can tell me why your home"

"You might want a beer for this one" Brooke laughed. She wished she could have a beer right now. If they did keep the baby she didn't know how she was going to live without alcohol for 6 more months. That was going to be torture.

"Ok… God how much stuff did you pack"

"Enough for 2 weeks"

"Or 2 months…" Lucas laughed

"Shut up" Brooke giggled shutting the car door

"Door?"

"God it's freezing out here… I wish it would just snow already. At least then the cold would be worth it" Brooke smiled. She loved the snow. It made everything seem so pretty and clean. Snow made even ugly ghetto houses look pretty.

"Or it could just turn warm again…that would be nice too"

"What kind of beer?" Brooke yelled from the kitchen. She knew he was going to need something strong after this news

"I don't care… what's up Cheery"

"Ok…so here's the thing." Brooke said and then paused for about 10 seconds.

"The thing?"

"I'm getting there…" Brooke laughed nervously. She was trying hard to work up the courage to tell him and it wasn't going too well.

"Ok… no rush, but it is 3 in the morning and your kinda scaring the hell out of me" Lucas laughed

"I passed out at the airport in Chicago" Brooke said plainly. She figured she should probably start from the beginning if he was going to understand everything

"What! Brooke, and you didn't call me? Are you ok?"

"I'm fine… so I went to the hospital and got poked and prodded and all that fun stuff"

"And you didn't call me?" Lucas asked again partly mad and partly upset.

"Let me finish… do you want to hear this or not?"

"Ok…"

"So they did a bunch of tests and found this" Brooke said handing him one of the ultra sound pictures, hoping it would say what she couldn't quite get out.

"Brooke…"

"I didn't want to tell you over the phone… Here I got you a picture too" Brooke smiled with a tear running down her cheek. She was really tired of crying but it just kept happening, she couldn't control it and it was really pissing her off

"I- um, I'm kinda in shock" Lucas managed to choke out

"I was too… I couldn't stand the idea of being pregnant and I was sure I wanted an abortion, I mean I don't even really like kids but"

"But?" Lucas asked

"I don't know… I think I could like our kid, I was looking at the ultra sound picture the whole time I was waiting in Chicago it just made me smile… and I don't know Luke… Are you mad, upset, happy? Say something because now you're scaring the hell out of me" Brooke said letting another tear run down her cheek. This was defiantly not how she had pictured telling him. There was supposed to be no crying evolved

"I'm not mad or upset, I'm, I'm just shocked…"

"Just shocked?" Brooke asked quietly

"I guess it would be different if I had had some kind of clue, but this completely blindsided me"

"And it didn't me… Luke I cried for 2 hours" Brooke said finally breaking down letting tears run everywhere

"Come here" Lucas said enveloping her into his arms and running his fingers through her hair. He hadn't even thought about how scared and nervous she must be, finding this out all by herself and having to deal with it for an entire flight home.

"And now I don't know what to do… I was just so sure at first and I always thought if this happened I'd know exactly what to do"

"And you don't anymore? Brooke its whatever you want. You know I am there for you 100. You're the one who has to go through the next how ever many months and gain weight and… that's why you were craving the Ding Dongs?" Lucas laughed still holding her tight to his chest

"I guess…"

"And last month that wasn't the flu either"

"Probably not…" Brooke choked out burying her face farther into his chest. She felt safer in his arms, like no matter what happened or she decided he's be there for her

"Brooke… do you want a baby?"

"I was thinking about it on the plane, and Luke I don't want a baby, I want this baby. I mean I always said I didn't want A baby… but that was before we had THIS baby…" Brooke said leaning her head against his chest. She felt like she was making absolutely no since. She wasn't even sure if she knew what she was talking about… everything was just happening so fast.

"You're sure?" Lucas asked wiping away her tears with his thumb

"Yea, if you are"

"Good, because I'm excited now" Lucas laughed and hugged Brooke tight

"Really?"

"You know I love kids Cheery"

"I know… Wow, we're really going to have a baby?" Brooke said almost laughing. The smile on Lucas's face was worth it all.

"Crazy isn't it?"

"Poor kid… with us a parents?"

"It's doomed…" Lucas laughed

"How are you going to break this one to your mom?"

"Well she wants us to come see her on July 4th. We'll let the baby tell her" Lucas laughed. That was defiantly going to be interesting…

Karen walked through her café. It was just the same as she remembered it, Deb had done a wonderful job keeping it up and now she was just happy to be back.

"Karen!" Deb shrieked funning from behind the counter towards Karen

"Deb! Its so good to see you!"

"So how is Nathan?" Karen asked politely. Part of her was hoping the café would be busy so she wouldn't have to hear all of the Nathan/Haley Drama. But of course… Deb made time.

"He's going to be a daddy! Haley is due the middle of May!"

"Congratulations! And wow Merry Christmas! That's some news"

"Dan and I are just happy they at least waited until they were both out of college" Deb laughed her nasally laugh hugging Karen again.

"I know…"

"Are you excited about seeing Lucas?"

"You just don't know! I can't wait! How is he, do you know?" Karen asked eagerly…all the excitement was starting to get to her… it was just now hitting her that she was going to get to see her son.

"All Nathan will say is he is happy, and has some serious cash under his belt"

"And a girl?"

"I have had heard mention of a girl… from what I have heard she is really sweet" Deb smiled

"That is so good to hear"

"And where is Andy?"

"Packing the car. We decided to leave a day early to go to Chapel Hill for a night." Karen laughed. Andy had some old friends there who he hadn't seen in a while so it was only fair if they stopped on their way

"Well have fun! The café is doing great and I am here as long as you need me. You go see that boy of yours, oh hey Keith"

"Deb, Karen!" Keith said excitedly grabbing Karen tight

"Hey Keith… now tell me you have at least heard from my son. From the way people are talking it is like he has disappeared off the face of the earth!"

"He lives in Charlotte so he basically has… I talked to him Thanksgiving though; Basketball is going well for him."

"Its good to see you Keith" Karen laughed

"You too Karen"

"Karen dear! Are we leaving?" Andy smiled from the door

"I am being summoned! I'll be back in a week or so… Thank you guys so much! I have missed you!"

Lucas and Brooke walked through downtown Charlotte. It was crowded of course because of Christmas being just a few weeks a way, but thankfully all the shops they were shopping in weren't that crowded. It had hit Brooke about 5:00, not too long after she and Lucas had gone to bed that a new baby meant shopping… for everything. Clothes, furniture, clothes, bottles, clothes, toys, and of course… what was the most fun for her, clothes. Lucas had pretty much ignored her early morning ranting about how she needed to get this done before she was fat… and finally agreed that she could buy whatever she wanted today… as long as she would just let him sleep. So here she was $3000 later, with more baby gap clothes than any child could probably wear. And of course a few little things for her, after all she was Brooke Davis.

"Ok… Brooke, sweetheart, love of my life… you do realize we have like 6 months to get this done" Lucas whined as Brooke drug him into yet another store. It wasn't that he wasn't enjoying it, it was just the fact that it was Brooke's goal to buy everything in one day. Usually this wouldn't have been such a bad thing… but he had been up all night still trying to come to terms with the fact that they were going to have a baby.

"Lucas… Broody, fiancé… you do realize this is shopping, its what I live for, now let me have my fun, when you give birth to this baby we can do what you want"

"Fair enough, here too?"

"Butterflies and Dragonflies! Lucas! How cute would this be… oh, look at that top, how much longer do you think I could wear that?" Brooke asked pulling him away from the baby furniture window towards the cute little boutique next door

"Back to Dragonflies and butterflies… this is baby shopping"

"But I want to mommy shop too"

"Do you want to look in here or not cheery?" Lucas laughed pulling her back towards the baby store

"Yes… look! It all matches! That's what we should get!" Brooke said looking over at the set. They had everything from a crib and changing table and rocking chair… all with butterfly and dragonfly fabric.

"We could shop around… what about power rangers"

"Ew, those things always remind me of Felix for some reason" Brooke gagged pulling Lucas towards the teddy bear section

"Wonder what those 2 are up to these days"

"I am sure they are happily married to each other with 2 children" Brooke giggled. She loved to imagine them married to each other.

"That's just wrong, you do realize they are brother and sister right?"

"Of course, I never said the kids were normal" Brooke giggled.

"Ok… I gotta go. Practice awaits me." Lucas said looking down at his watch. He was really too tired to practice but he didn't have choice"

"But we're shopping…" Brooke whined wrapping her arms around his neck

"We'll shop tomorrow… we'll bring the truck and buy paint and whatever"

"Promise?"

"Yes…" Lucas laughed kissing her on the forehead

"I bet Felix would shop all day with me"

"And I bet Anna would wait until she at least knew it if was a boy or a girl"

"Love you Broody" Brooke giggled giving him a quick kiss before he left

"Love you too Cheery… don't spend all our money"

"Felix would let me"

Anna and Felix… as much as she was glad they were out of her life…it was then, who got her and Lucas back on the road to a relationship, of course neither of them knew it. It had been the beginning of their senior year and Brooke was dating Felix. Lucas had gotten together, dumped, and gotten together with Anna god only knew how many times but this particular day they were together. That was when Anna had had the, oh so bright idea for a double date at Chili's, and it hadn't gone well.

Lucas and Brooke were sitting across from each other while Anna and Felix talked about their childhood like Brooke and Lucas actually cared. Both Brooke and Lucas just looked at each other in disgust at what Felix and Anna were talking about. Reliving the first 16 years of Anna and Felix's lives wasn't exactly what Brooke and Lucas liked to do on a date.

"Oh come on Felix! It was so Jessie you lost it too!" Anna giggled

"Anna! I didn't! It was Kayla"

"Whatever Brooke, don't listen to him…"

"I usually don't" Brooke smiled pretending she had been listening the whole time, and then kicked Lucas's leg with her boot under the table to get his attention

"Ok fine… now that you have ratted me out and told the world who I lost my virginity too… its Lucas's turn"

"Dude…" Lucas started but Brooke broke in more excited than he had seen her all night

"Oh Can I answer that! Please!" Brooke begged

"No, let him do it" Felix said shutting Brooke up

"Oh Lucas… PLEASE" Brooke begged more. This was like he highlight of her life. She had taken Lucas Scott and stolen his virginity. She should at least have the right to flaunt it.

"Sure cheery…why not"

"Ok! It was me… yours truly. I robbed sweet, innocent Lucas Scott of his virginity on our first date, and then slept with him 143 more times" Brooke giggled looking straight into Anna's eyes. She hated Anna… she wasn't sure why, it was just the fact that she was with Lucas.

"We were so close to the 150 mark" Lucas laughed

"Wait… you lost your virginity to Brooke!" Anna shrieked

"On our first date!" Brooke added again to make sure she had gotten the point across

"And you wont sleep with me?"

"Woah… ok in his defense, he was kinda drunk"

"Ok so this is awkward" Lucas laughed running his fingers through his short hair

"Tell me about it"

"So you're telling me now not only do I have to worry about being good in bed… I have to compare to her! The sex queen?"

"Sex goddess… and hey don't worry about it, if I can go down hill from Lucas to your brother… Lucas can too, cant you Broody?" Brooke giggled

"Wait… your saying Lucas was better than me" Felix asked defensively

"Yea, someone needs to learn to just shut me up"

"I can't believe this… Felix take me home. I need to think"

"I'll call you tomorrow Brooke?" Felix asked glaring at Lucas as he helped Anna up

"Are you going to listen if I say no?"

"Bye"

"Wow… they totally just brought that on themselves" Lucas laughed; breaking up with Anna wasn't that big of a deal anymore. It was just an everyday event

"This is why I don't double date with friends… much less ex-boyfriends"

"Want me to take you home?"

"Or we could eat… I mean we have already ordered. We're going to have to pay anyway" Brooke said as the waitress brought 4 plates of food and sat them down

That was the night where Brooke and Felix started drifting apart, and Lucas and Brooke hit the point where they did most everything together, when they weren't with Felix or Anna at least. This of course… helped lead to that faithful night after Graduation.

Peyton sat at the small café downtown with her cell phone on the table. She had been waiting for Lucas to call her about dinner all day. But there had been nothing, so to pass the time she had spent the day getting a manicure. As much as she hated them she couldn't have Lucas's girlfriend looking better than her. That would ruin the whole plan, everything she was going to work for to get Lucas back. Just as she was checking her cell phone to make sure she hadn't missed a call Mary walked up smiling.

"What did you do?" Peyton asked looking at Mary's mischievous smile

"I got a hair cut!"

"You did?" Peyton asked not seeing any difference

"Well it was only ½ an inch but still"

"1/2 an inch? I bet it cost you $20 too"

"$23.97" Mary laughed

"I could have cut your hair for that… Maybe I should just call him?"

"Who?"

"Lucas!" Peyton laughed picking up her cell phone. She couldn't not have dinner with him tonight, then she might loose him again.

"Oh… yea do that… you think I got too much cut off"

"Its ringing, he's probably on his way to practice"

"Hello?" Lucas asked

"Lucas, its Peyton"

"Oh Peyton, I was supposed to call you"

"No, well yea… I was just checking in to make sure everything was ok" Peyton said sweetly… but sexy enough to make him shutter.

"Yea… its fine"

"Good… so dinner"

"I'll have to talk to…" Lucas started but was cut off my Peyton's shriek

"Oh My God! Brooke!"
