Brooke turned over and looked at the clock. 11:30. She and Lucas were really going to have to get on a better schedule with Nathan and Haley coming today. She didn't know how they could both get up at 6 every morning. Haley claimed it was because they were preparing for the baby and the crazy hours but Brooke knew that was a lie. Haley James Scott had gotten up that early for as long as she could remember. Nathan on the other hand… Haley had spent the past few years whipping him so he didn't have a choice. Lucas was lying on his side… snoring in a deep sleep. Having his mom and Andy there the past couple days hadn't been… exactly easy. Between Karen's constant questions and Andy's constant need to stop her questions… it was crazy!

"Lucas… Broody… Fiance… wake up! I'm bored, talk to me" Brooke whispered leaning her forehead onto his so that when he opened his eyes all he could see was her. She tried to wake him up like that every morning… but usually he woke up before her.

"Haven't you ever heard the saying Suffer in Silence?"

"Yes but why should anyone suffer in silence, when you can moan, whimper, cry and

Complain?"

"Only you would come up with that…" Lucas groaned wiping his eyes and looking at the clock. He knew now that Brooke was up he definitely wasn't going to get back to bed.

"I know, I'm good like that… Haley and Nathan will be here soon"

"God I cant believe its Christmas eve already"

"And I can't drink Egg nog" Brooke whined laying her head on his chest trying to be pitiful. She was going to miss her egg nog but it was more fun to complain about missing it.

"Yes you can… just the non alcoholic kind"

"What's Christmas without egg nog?"

"If you're like this now, what are you going to be like on New Years?" Lucas asked shaking his head at her as she giggled.

"Kill me now"

"I would but then who would I marry?"

"Peyton… and you 2 could go off and have beautiful babies together and like so happily ever after!" Brooke laughed sarcastically. She could have added more but Lucas decided to cut in stealing her line

"Kill me now"

"Oh, and then I could get your insurance money!"

"You do know Cheery there is more to life than Money, Beer and Sex" Lucas said just as sarcastically as she had with her Peyton comment. He loved to see the look on her face when he 1 upped her with a come back. Her forehead crinkled and her eyes squinted as she tried her best to think of a even better come back, and when she couldn't think of one she raised her eyebrows and kissed him.

"Yes… but I just don't know what it is yet…kidding, get up!"

"I'm up…"

"Good now go make me breakfast in bed" Brooke giggled climbing back under the warm covers with Lucas. She knew good and well he wasn't going to make her breakfast in bed… considering she told him the same thing every morning but she still asked.

"Isn't that my moms job?"

"Brooke, Lucas! Nathan and Haley are here!"

"Why do they feel the need to be 3 hours early… everywhere?" Brooke whined burying her face in Lucas's chest muscles

"The same reason we're always 3 hours late?"

"Because we're somewhere making out and loose track of time"

"And they aren't" Lucas laughed kissing her forehead before getting up

"Gotcha…"

"Brooke!" Haley shrieked walking into the bedroom

"Tutormom!"

"Your still so skinny!"

"Your… not!" Brooke giggled seeing Haley's tiny tummy that stuck out just enough to be noticed. It made Brooke's heart jump for 2 reasons. 1 it hit her how gross it actually was that there was something living in there, and then the 2nd part made her really want a tummy too

"I know!"

"Hey Man, sorry we're early… Haley decided she was ready to come"

"She and Brooke can go off and do their thing, and we can…" Lucas started but Nathan broke in before he could finish

"Get far away from them?"

"If that's what you want to do… you got it"

"Broody! Look at Haley's belly! I want a cute belly like that!" Brooke whined wrapping her arms around Lucas's neck and kissing him. She loved to complain to him about stuff he had no control over

"Eat more"

"I will…"

"Hey Hales" Lucas smiled hugging Haley. It was weird for him to see her like that. He always imagined her as a mom one day, because that was Haley but actually seeing it was almost too much to take in

"Luke… How's it feel knowing you are going to be a daddy and a uncle?"

"Scary…"

"Oh My God! This is so great! This week is going to like Kill!" Brooke giggled clapping ignoring their conversation. She had her own plans for everything and it was going to rock

"Compared to every other week you spend with me?"

"You know what I mean… Ok shower, clothes, shopping… and whatever you boys are going to do today"

"AKA leave us alone… all day" Haley added rolling her eyes at Nathan and then laughing

"You got it"

"Come on fiancé… shower, we'll save on the water bill if we do it together" Brooke giggled grabbing Lucas's hand. That had to be a new record for her… making 3 people squirm in one room at the same time… she was definitely getting better

"To much info…"

"Sorry… you 2 just go keep Karen entertained"

Peyton sat up in bed. Another night, another guy, she had done it again. And the funny thing was she wasn't even sure why she was doing it anymore. She had her plan to get Lucas all in order, and it wasn't like she was some sex-a-holic. She guessed it was just because she was bored. That's what she had thought originally started her drug problem, and she hadn't known until the summer after their junior year how bad it really was.

School had just gotten out and for once she, Lucas and Brooke were all 3 single for once. Lucas had broken up with Anna for what good. Brooke had broken up with Felix for now, and Jake was dealing with fighting for Jenny and he and Peyton had decided to split for a while, and so that left Brooke, Lucas and Peyton as the 3 musketeers as Brooke called them. They were all 3 JUST friends. That way there was so sexual tension. Of course they all had to know that wasn't going to work, this just put them in the same situation they had been in before hand. It was obvious Lucas was into Brooke but scared to tell her, and obvious that Brooke wanted Lucas… but she didn't know he wanted her. And it was Peyton's job to make sure things stayed that way. Really she knew the whole story… Lucas had broken up with Anna… only because he was in love with Brooke, but Brooke had been with Felix, so Lucas let her be. And Brooke had only been with Felix because she was upset about missing Lucas. Of course neither Brooke or Lucas knew all of this… so it left Peyton in the perfect spot. Only she was in love with Jake.

"Ok friends, boy, girl! What are we doing today?" Brooke asked in her usual cheeriness as they walked down by the riverfront. Personally she thought this place had way too many memories for them to be hanging out there but it was Peyton's idea and she want going to argue with it

"Um… you choose"

"Great! I was so hoping you were going to say that! I have this all planned out! Totally fun cheery day! Brooke Davis style"

"What are we doing Cheery?" Lucas asked giving her what Peyton liked to call the "I want you so bad but I can never tell you" look. It erked Peyton to see the look in his eyes everytime he looked at Brooke, and then the way she looked back at him.

"Glad you asked Broody!"

"Oh no"

"What?" Lucas asked turning to Peyton who was annoyed with the whole situation

"Its Brooke… you know its going to involve drinking"

"Actually… it doesn't, but thanks a lot Peyton. Anyway… I was thinking since we are all trying to be friends, like real friends… we need to get everything out in the open, everything"

"You mean everything…" Lucas asked not feeling too sure about this plan… he knew Brooke was right but he didn't want to be just friends with her, and if he told her everything, then it most definitely wasn't going to be a just friends in there. Plus there was the whole pregnancy scare that he knew was going to come up.

"Luke it's the only way this is going to work"

"I know… I'm in"

"Me too, Peyton?" Brooke asked looking at Peyton's glassy eyes. Peyton was trying as hard as possible to act normal… and now show was she was hiding

"Alright… I'm in but! It can't be anything about the 3 of us is past relationships with each other, or things might get complicated"

"Well our pregnancy scare was all I had!" Brooke whined feeling left out. Everyone knew she didn't have any secrets and it was amazing she hadn't told anyone about that yet

"What?"

"Oops"

"Well she knows now" Lucas laughed. He was just glad that Brooke had said it and he hadn't had too.

"That's lovely… what did you do Brooke, drink it to death?"

"What the Hell Peyton? It was a false alarm"

"Well I'm just saying with your drinking and your lying" Peyton sighed rolling her eyes at Brooke

"Peyton" Lucas snapped. He was sick and tried of her constant Brooke bashing lately. They were suppose to be best friends and all she ever did was shoot her down.

"And now your going to defend her too…. Greeaaattt!"

"Peyton are you drunk?" Lucas whispered looking at Peyton's glassy eyes.

"No Lucas… I'm not… unlike Brooke I don't have to drink to be happy"

"Your right! You have to do drugs! Peyton are you high?" Brooke asked glaring at Peyton in total disappointment

"Brooke what are you talking about?"

"You swore to me you had stopped" Brooke whispered ignoring Lucas's question

"I also swore to you that I didn't like Lucas… figured you had learned not to trust me by now"

"Peyton… what's going on?"

"Like you care… your too busy hiding your feelings from Brooke!" Peyton yelled throwing her hands up. She figured what the hell… it wasn't like anything was going the way she wanted anyway. Why not make them face what they were feeling too.

"Peyton"

"And Brooke! You're too busy trying to deny your feelings for Lucas because he didn't want you… so we all sit here lying to each other… lying about everything! Acting like we actually want to be friends and try at it when really all you 2 want to do is get into the other ones pants!"

"Peyton… I think you need some help" Brooke whispered letting a tear slip down her cheek

Then had come the rehab, Brooke and Lucas had gone to her dad and made sure to tell him everything that had gone on and of course Larry put her on the first bus to Charlotte. Peyton wasn't sure what happened with Lucas and Brooke after she left… all she knew was that when she got back they were still friends… but no benefits as Brooke put it.

Brooke and Haley spent the whole day shopping while Lucas and Nathan drove downtown Charlotte to do basketball stuff. Brooke was so glad she had Haley here to do this stuff with her. It wasn't like she didn't like doing it with Lucas or anything… it was just that she needed her gal pal time too and since she didn't have the most girlfriends in the world she was glad there was Haley… even though she would never admit it. After they finished shopping and spending all their boy toys money they headed home to rummage through all of the stuff they had bought before Lucas and Nathan got home, along with Karen and Andy.

"Brooke… what did we do?" Haley laughed looking at the floor covered in shopping bags. They had definitely gone over board this time, and had some serious fun doing it.

"What? We had fun!"

"Yea… but look at all this stuff!"

"So? This is what we're supposed to do!" Brooke giggled. Poor Haley didn't understand the purpose of being pregnant for 9 months… in Brooke's opinion it was just so you could get away with anything you wanted and then blame it on the hormones… and it had worked like a charm for her so far

"Shouldn't we have gotten more I don't know… practical stuff?"

"Why? I bought all that with Lucas… and who says this isn't practical?"

"Brooke! I bought a baby blanket with the name Bobo on it! I'm not naming my baby Bobo!" Haley shrieked holding up the monogrammed blanket laughing

"Yes but wasn't it totally worth it to see the look on that woman's face when you told her you were?"

"I guess"

"What are you naming that kid anyway?" Brooke asked plopping down on the couch. She was dead tired but it was totally worth it.

"If it's a girl…Taylor Whitney, for Taylor because if it wasn't for her Nathan and I might not be where we are right now…"

"Woa! Hold up girly girl… who set you up on the most awesome blind date ever?"

"Yes… but who screwed us over in the first place?" Haley giggled sarcastically throwing the bobo blanket at Brooke

"Totally true… ok boy?"

"James since its my maiden name and probably Nathan"

"Nice…"

"You?" Haley yawned propping her feet up

"Tutormom… I haven't even begun to think of any sort of name… I mean how the hell do you choose something like that?"

"You just do?"

"You're a lot of help" Brooke giggled rolling her eyes at Haley. It was so nice to have a girl to talk to again… she hated to think that Haley had to leave in a week.

"Ok… What now?"

"Um… since I am banned from Roller coasters, alcohol and hot tubs…"

"Movies?" Haley asked grabbing the remote from the coffee table.

"Or! We could dress up like hookers and walk downtown!"

"Movies?"

"I guess no one would want a pregnant hooker anyway…whose that?" Brooke giggled hearing a knock at the door. She was guessing Mike… this usually was his spying time

"Its your pimp"

"Yay! I always knew he would come and find me!"

"Your crazy" Haley laughed flipping channels while Brooke walked to the door sticking her tounge out at her until she pulled open the door knob.

"Peyton…"

Lucas and Nathan walked downtown Charlotte to 23. The bar Michael Jordan had started originally in Chapel Hill but had chained its way up. Lucas was glad to see through out the day Nathan was just as tweaked about the idea of being a father as he was. Considering who their father was and everything they had been through, Lucas knew Nathan had to have the same fear that he did. Dan had definitely left his mark on both of them and now more than ever they were feeling it.

"Beer?" Nathan asked sitting down at the bar pulling out his wallet. After the day they had had between checking out the stadium, and then the basketball court, and then playing basketball it was time for a cold one.

"Brooke would kill me… she has it in her head if I she cant drink, I cant either"

"Beer?" Nathan asked again ignoring Lucas's whipped ways

"Yes"

"Brooke giving you a hard time?"

"No… I think she's enjoying this whole thing actually… and I'm glad, for a while there she just seemed so unsure about everything" Lucas sighed looking at his beer mug as he spoke. Somehow over the past couple weeks he and Brooke had totally switched roles… Brooke was now the one sure of everything and he was just… confused and nervous.

"Haley's too sure… its like everything I do is wrong"

"That's Haley"

"So Peyton huh?" Nathan asked finally bringing up she who must not be named

"Yea… she just showed up"

"What did Brooke think?"

"She was more ok with it than I was actually" Lucas laughed shaking his head. It just seemed like the world had totally switched on him.

"At least she trusts you man…"

"I just thought all the high school drama was finished with! I mean I guess I just thought that once we graduated Brooke and I could start our careers, get married, have kids… and now its like everything's…"

"Not like you planned?" Nathan finished sipping his beer

"Exactly and don't get me wrong Nate…I'm excited and I don't have any regrets… I'm just"

"Nervous?"

"So its not just me?" Lucas laughed feeling a lot better talking to someone. It wasn't like anyone else knew other than Haley and Brooke, and they were girls so they had no idea what he was going through.

"Hell no dude… I'm terrified"

Brooke stared down at Peyton who was lying totally out of it on the couch. She was either high or drunk or both and looked terrible. It was like flashbacks from high school when she would show up at her door wasted and Brooke would have to take care of her. Only now she wasn't sure if she had the energy to do that again… especially since Peyton did try to steal her finance and ruin her life… again. But something in her wouldn't let her shut the door in her best friends face… no matter how bad things got Peyton had always been there for her and what kind of hypocrite would she be if she hadn't of let her in. So she did, and for 3 hours she and Haley watched her and made sure she was ok… just like high school until she finally woke up.

"P. Sawyer" Brooke sighed shaking her head. She wasn't sure if she should be nice or snobby or just leave her there on the couch.

"I didn't know where else to go"

"I know"

"Is that Haley?" Peyton whispered looking at Haley who was passed out on the other couch snoring

"Yea… you wore her out… she fell asleep about an hour ago"

"She's pregnant!"

"Yea" Brooke said trying to be nice… it just wasn't easy

"Wow…that's insane"

"Tell me about it…"

"You don't look so good yourself… you ok?" Peyton asked seeing how Pale Brooke looked. She didn't have her usual rosy cheeks and bright lips.

"Yea… I've just been shopping all day and then came home and well you know the rest"

"Yea… Where's Lucas?"

"Out with Nathan, probably getting wasted or something… Its Christmas eve so I want him to have fun" Brooke smiled leaning back against the couch. The truth was she felt terrible… most likely because of her lack of food and sleep the past couple days.

"Why'd you let me in Brooke? After everything that's happened and what I did"

"Because if it were me, you'd let me in… besides it probably wouldn't look very good on my job applications if someone found a dead girl on my doormat"

"True… your still pissed though" Peyton sighed not making eye contact with Brooke.

"Lets not talk about that… ok? Are you sober?"

"Yes"

"Good… I… whoa" Brooke starting to stand up and then sitting back down. Whatever she was feeling definitely wasn't good whatever it was considering the room was spinning and her head was again pounding.

"Brooke what's wrong?"

"I just feel light headed"

"You're trembling" Peyton said seeing her fingers as Brooke sat back against the couch again to catch her breath

"Peyton your up! Brooke?" Haley yawned hearing the loud voices

"Brooke?" Peyton whispered shaking Brooke but there was nothting

"Peyton call Lucas"

"Why, Haley what's wrong? She said she just felt light headed"

"Crap… Brooke look at me… Have you eaten anything today? Brooke!" Haley yelled shaking Brooke

"It says his phones off"

"Try Nathan, Brooke… come on, damn it forget Nathan… call 911"

"Haley its no big deal… She just said she was tired and hadn't eaten… this use to happen to her in high school" Peyton laughed nervously. She didn't know what was going on

"Peyton she can't just pass out!"

"I did!"

"Well your not pregnant are you?" Haley snapped taking the phone from Peyton and dialing 911 herself

"No… Haley whats going on?"
