Hey you guys! Chapter 13! YAY! So happy! Hope you guys enjoy! Thank you SOO much for reviews! I love them!

As the days past Brooke watched as her slim figure slowly changed from slim… to well not so slim. What was at first a cute tummy by mid March was just like wearing a basketball inside her shirt. It wasn't the being fat that bothered her so much… she actually wasn't really "fat" per say… everything else on her was still very fit… it was the fact that her 2 precious angels as Lucas jokingly referred to them as felt the need to play soccer with her vital organs every day it seemed like. What was at first cute little kicks that made both Brooke and Lucas excited and thrilled now just caused them sleepless nights. The bad thing was she still had 3 more months like this. The doctors kept telling her with her small frame and weight she wasn't going to be able carry the babies to term. But of course Brooke wasn't going to except that! Never! Those were her precious little devils (As she referred to them) and they were staying in there as long as she wanted too.

Another challenge was that she and Lucas had no idea if the babies were boys or girls. But since they were identical they were definitely getting both of one. This meant her and Lucas constantly arguing over names. He liked classic common names like Sara or Max and she liked different names like Ridley or Crusier and neither one of them would back down… The end of every argument always ended in a giggling fest because one of them would mention Bobo. It wasn't like it was all stress though…. Other than these few things Brooke very much enjoyed being pregnant. While Lucas was at work she could spend as much time as she wanted corrupting the babies… putting Jessica Simpson in er CD player and clipping it to her stomach. Plus she could be as lazy as she wanted without being judged for it. In fact she got totally pampered. Karen drove up once a week to cook for them and take Brooke shopping. Or Mike would stop buy and make her laugh. But the best times were in the afternoons before Lucas went to practice, when they would lay out in the cool spring breeze on the patio and just be them.

"Ok Broodylicious… its time for your test" Brooke giggled pulling her magazine off the table. Every day she was sure to give him a random chick test out of her latest magazine… it annoyed him but it kept her pretty entertained

"My test?"

"I read it in Elle today"

"No more Elle for you" Lucas laughed stealing her magazine and throwing it where she couldn't reach it. He loved Brooke but if he had to take one more test about his true hair color or what his style was…

"Just listen…"

"Do these 2 know your crazy yet?" Lucas asked putting his hand on her stomach trying to get her away from the magazine subject

"Only from the mouth of Britney!"

"You've been britneying them again?"

"It stops all the kicking" Brooke whined giving him her pouty face. If he only knew the other music she was letting her "Precious little devils" listen too when he was gone… he would have a fit.

"Its probably killing their brain cells"

"Well for everyone I kill you grow back reading them "That" book"

"The Winter of Our Discontent is a good book" Lucas said defensively having a stare down with Brooke until she finally gave up, giggled and kissed him claiming she won.

"I'll agree with you only because that's the book that got us that fabulous night at Bluepost"

"So true…another thing you 2 are never doing… going to bluepost underage"

"He's lying… that's where we're throwing your first birthday" Brooke said in her baby voice to her stomach trying not to giggle. She figured if she sounded serious it would scare Lucas and she would get to see him squirm. But he didn't flinch… he just pulled a Brooke by staring at her strangely for a second and then kissing her. She could never win with him.

"You think they can actually here us?"

"Probably not…"

"So Cheery" Lucas said sighing. She knew what this meant… a long intense conversation about something serious. She hoped it was atleast something she could kiss or whine her way our off if it was too serious… her back was hurting and she didn't have the patience for another name conversation

"Yes Broody?"

"When are we going to do this right and get married?"

"When I can fit back into my size 3 jeans" Brooke giggled relieved that it was a fabulous subject. She loved talking about marriage and being his wife and she loved the way he smiled when they talked about it. Most guys wanted nothing to do with weddings and the planning Lucas was there the whole way. Since she already had most of it planned…other than dates and such it wasn't going to be but so hard to plan… unless you counted the fact that they would have twins by then.

"You really wanna wait that long?"

"Give it 5 months"

"But I want you as my wife now…" Lucas whined hugging her. It made her heart jump and she couldn't help but smile. He had that way about him that she couldn't resist… even when she didn't want to show how she was feeling all he had to do was take her hand or kiss her and that plan was down the drain

"Whiney… Then I can't call you fiancé anymore… and I am not getting married until I can wear my designer wedding dress and Oh My God!"

"What?" Lucas asked startled. He hated when she did that… talking so sweet in her whisper voice and then Snap! Shrieking… it scared the hell out of him

"We can dress the babies up in matching designer outfits too!"

"Oh no…"

"This wedding is going to be fabulous!" Brooke giggled pulling out her notepad so she could write it down. She didn't want to forget any little detail of this wedding…

"Your really going to break us aren't you?"

"Blame the babies… they send me messages… they want designer clothes and ice cream and they really really want you to rub my back right now"

"Their lucky I love them so much" Lucas laughed kissing her forehead.

"Lucky little devils"

"Brooke! Brooke! Brooke!" Mike yelled running out onto the patio out of breathe

"Mike! I was getting a back rub… what?"

"I had a vision!"

"A vision?" Brooke sighed not even wanting to ask. All through the pregnancy he had been having these visions about what the twins were going to be when they grew up… ranging from Presidents to if they were girls… his wives.

"Yes! I dreamed your babies were puppies and they were in the circus and I made a fortune"

"Lucas, you love me right?"

"Yea?" Lucas laughed knowing exactly what was coming next

"Then shoot him for me… I'm out of places to hide bodies"

"I'll hire Dan to do it"

"Seriously… babies! Puppies! Money! I can see it now…." Mike yelled showing Brooke the pictures he had drawn… badly. She looked over at Lucas who was just shaking his head wondering how he had ever become friends with Mike… wasn't Tim enough?

"Mike… Do me a favor! Lean over the railing as far as you can and then try to do a flip"

"Brooke…"

"It was worth a shot" Brooke giggled rolling her eyes at him…

"Ahoy down there" Mike yelled waving to the people below walking to cars. Brooke couldn't help but compare him to a 3 ear old… Tim's long lost twin

"Push him… no one will see!" Lucas whispered. It made Brooke smile and that was all he wanted.

"Lucas!"

"Your pregnant… blame it on the hormones"

"Mike… go home…" Brooke laughed handing him back his drawings. She wanted peace and quiet with Lucas… not Mike.

"Brooke… your great? Did you know that? I don't think you did"

"What do you want?"

"To steal Lucas away for like an hour to go play ball down at the park" Mike begged… again acting like a 3 year old. Sadly he had eyes like a 3 year old to so she couldn't help but give in.

"Give'em hell babe!" Brooke giggled kissing Lucas on t he forehead before letting him up.

"You wanna come watch"

"Of course… I have to right off the rabid skinny skanks down there who think they are going to steal my man"

"Peyton isn't down there Cheery" Lucas smiled helping her up. For the past couple months they had joked about Peyton and where she was…because truly they had no idea

"Ha ha… we don't know that, we haven't heard from her in forever"

"Dude… Brooke who would have known you'd still be hott with a basketball for a stomach"

"Dude… that's my fiancé" Lucas sighed glaring at Mike who didn't seem to care… he was more interested in Brooke.

"Only until she dumps your lame ass for the Mikester"

"God kill me now"

Back in Tree Hill Karen sat on the floor of the café with Deb going through all of Nathan and Lucas's baby clothes. She figured whatever she had that they could use would help. Deb had already gone out and bought a boatload of clothes for Nathan and Haley. Since they knew they were having a boy it made things a lot easier, unlike Brooke and Lucas who insisted on being surprised. Karen really hoped that they had boys. Girls were hard, and if they turned out anything like Brooke… Brooke and Lucas were in for a long 18 years. With Boys Lucas would play basketball with them, or take them camping or anything for that matter… anything that he always wanted to do that he never got to do with Dan. Plus Karen felt much safer being a grandmother to boys. She knew them and how they worked as little kids. And as things looked poor Brooke was definitely going to need all the help she could get with her motherly duties. She loved Brooke like a daughter but her lack of parenting growing up was definitely going to be an issue for her as a mother.

She remembered when Brooke was little. She didn't actually even meet Brooke's parents until 1st grade when she and Lucas had been sent to the office along with Nathan and Tim for trying to climb over the fence. Which was funny since both of Brooke's parents had lived in Tree Hill forever. Obviously the whole even had been Brooke's doings and at the time Karen had never been madder in her life. She was "That" little girl who was going to ruin her son's academic future. If she had only known at the time what she knew what was going to end up happening. The meeting in the office had gone fine… nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Her parents just seemed like 2 business people who were a little pre-occupied with work to care about their daughters academic life. It wasn't until the meeting had ended and they had gotten outside Karen had overheard the real story

"So everyone thank you for being here, hopefully this wont happen again… right Mrs. Davis?" The Principal asked as they all walked out into the hall to leave. Karen and Lucas were dragging behind because Lucas's shoe had come untied

"Sorry"

"You may go"

"Bye Brooke, sorry we got caught" Lucas said waving at Brooke as he walked with Karen

"Bye Lucas"

"Brooke! What were you thinking? Sneaking off with 3 boys! Do you want to be a slut? Is that what you want people to call you? Your whole life? Because that's what's happening! Why don't we just paint it in big black letters on your door! That's what your father is going to do when he finds out why I had to miss all of my appointments today" Mrs. Davis snapped as they walked… basically dragging little Brooke by her hand.

"Sorry"

"Are you sorry that you did it or that you got caught?"

"Both" Brooke whispered letting a tear run down her pale face. It broke Karen's heart to see how they were treating this little girl who had made one mistake

"And that you got those boys in trouble too! You know what? I can't look at you right… you want to sneak out of school! Do it now and walk home"

"But"

"No! You have 2 legs" Mrs. Davis yelled leaving Brooke standing in the empty school hallway alone

From that day on Karen had sworn to herself she would always be a little nicer to Brooke than she was to the others. To make the effort to make her feel as if she was important. She and Lucas had given her a ride home that day. She was quiet, not talking unless she was spoken too… which was something Karen had never seen in talkative little Brooke. She had finally found the one thing that got to little Brooke Davis, her mother. Years later Karen knew Brooke and her mother still had these issues. Karen wasn't even sure if Mrs. Davis knew anything about Lucas and Brooke… or the fact that Brooke was pregnant. Karen just hoped that Mrs. Davis's mothering skills wouldn't reflect on how Brooke raised the twins.

Lucas sat down on the bench beside Brooke who was yelling at her knitting needles. Knitting was apparently a lot harder than she had thought… but he thought it was cute how she was trying. It showed what those babies really did mean to her because Brooke Davis didn't knit for just anyone. Mike was still out of the court trying to explain how Lucas had cheated to his groupies as Brooke called them. A group of girls who sat at the park scooping out guys all day. Sadly his groupies were more interested in talking to Lucas which was driving both him and Brooke insane. He didn't want to talk or deal with these girls… he wanted to talk and hang with Brooke… hints why he was marrying her. But that didn't seem to be a reasonable explanation for Mike or the girls. They just wanted Lucas to stay and play all day.

"You gave them hell" Brooke giggled throwing down her knitting. It was impossible and she wasn't in the mood to toy with it

"Of course… how's the knitting?"

"Who ever the hell invented this damn knitting thing? Well I am going to stab them to death in their sleep with these needles!"

"Yea…" Lucas laughed not bothering to tell her that that person died long long ago. It would just make her more upset and frustrated and neither of them needed or wanted that

"I'm starting to think they don't want blankets! Every time I finally get the thing on the thingie… our little angel on the left feels the need to kick me… definitely your child"

"Be nice to your mommy… she is trying to make you blankets" Lucas said patting her stomach as Brooke laid her head on his shoulder. The smell of his ax body spray made her nose tingle. Picked up her knitting needles again trying to decide whether or not she really wanted to do this

"They're store babies… lets face it. Lets go feed the yarn to the ducks or something"

"Ducks?"

"Chickens… anything to piss the damn environmental lawyers off" Brooke giggled. She hated the environmental lawyers in her classes. They were also the lawyers who freaked out that she was drinking caffeine while pregnant. It all just annoyed her and she would love to get them back

"Luke… come on… game 2"

"He's got to be kidding me… doesn't he realize we have practice in 15 minutes? And I have got to get rid of this cold" Lucas coughed. He had had it for 2 weeks almost and it just wasn't going away. Not even Tylenol cold was helping

"Poor baby! You coughed all night last nigh… you could skip! And take me to dinner, and shopping and then we could go to a bar, and get drunk and run off to Vegas and get married!"

"At the Elvis Chapel?"

"Of course!" Brooke smiled kissing him. She knew he had to go… she just had to beg him to stay for her sake… so she could tell herself she tried while she was sitting bored in the appartment

"Gotta go to practice to pay for all of this adventure"

"We could be fugitives!"

"We can do dinner after?" Lucas said pushing her auburn hair out of her face. She had that "please don't leave me" look that just killed him. But he didn't have a choice… especially with 2 babies on the way… they were going to need the money

"Yes… you go to practice… The babies need their Jessica Simpson time anyway!"

"Oh god… if their boys they're gonna be gay aren't they?"

"Possibly" Brooke giggled shrugging her shoulders… anything to make him squirm

"Ok I am gonna go before you make me worry more…"

"Home early?"

"Yep…" Lucas smiled standing up to leave but Brooke pulled him back down. She was trying everything in her power now to keep him home with her so he could run her aching back and entertain her

"Watch Mulan Rouge with me?"

"Do I have too?"

"Broody, Lucas, Fiance, please! Pretty Please! Pretty please please please please!" Brooke begged then finally gave up and kissed him. Over the years she had learned if worse came to worse she could just kiss him and get her way… it was that easy

"Again?"

"If you love me"

"That's not fair" Lucas whined squinting at her… but he knew exactly what she was going to say. It was like her motto, the one rule that she didn't break.

"Alls fair in love in way baby"

"I'll be home by 8"

"I'll attempt to make popcorn!" Brooke smiled finally letting him get up. She knew she wouldn't make popcorn… she would make him do it when he got home… but at least offering made her sound like a better fiancé.

"Stay still… I'll make the popcorn, don't shake up those babies too bad… If you need me leave a voice mail… I dropped the phone again and its acting up"

"Its because it likes me better… I'll be fine, I might run off with a hott mechanic stripper, but I'll write"

"Please… and send souvenirs" Lucas laughed giving her one last kiss before finally letting him go. She tried to smile as he left because she knew he felt guilty but really she just wanted to cry. Her back was killing her and she had to get all the way back upstairs.

"Love you, play hard!"

Peyton walked boredly downtown Tree Hill. She wasn't really sure why she was here… Mary had made a big deal about wanting to see where all the drama had started so Peyton had figured sure… why not? How bad could Tree Hill actually be. Boy had she been wrong. It looked as if Haley and Nathan had been there the week before and turned the whole town against her. The only person who seemed ½ way on her side was Dan… and she wasn't even sure if he was on her side or just wanted to hit on Mary. She figured she might as well go and eat at Karen's Café. If anyone in this town was going to say something to her It would be Karen… so she might as well get it over with now rather than later. The café was jammed for a weekday, which didn't surprise her… Karen and Deb had really been doing a good job between Tric and The café. People from towns up to 30 miles away liked to come and eat.

"Peyton… Hey" Karen said shocked. Seeing Peyton there after what she had done made Karen want to kick her out more than anything… but she had to give her the benefit of the doubt. It had been a couple of months and something might have changed

"Hey Karen… you mind if we eat?"

"No… sit down… what can I get you?"

"Just a coffee" Peyton smiled shyly. She felt awkward around Karen with her being Brooke's mother and law to be. She wanted Karen as her mother and law… just another plus to being with Lucas

"And you?"

"Same"

"Ok… So what are you doing here? Lucas said" Karen started. She couldn't hold back. He had to know why exactly Peyton was here and what she wanted.

"He hadn't hear from me? Yea… I figured it was best to leave him and Brooke alone"

"Their making me a grandmother you know"

"I know… twins right? When's Brooke due?" Peyton asked trying to be polite. Really it was killing her inside that Brooke got to have Lucas's kids. She was the one who got to be the mother of his family and live happily ever after.

"Couple months… those 2 are just so excited! You mention those babies around them, Brooke especially and she just lights up. I just hope she gets through these next couple months ok… The doctor was a little worried the last visit… he wanted to put her on bed rest but changed his mind as long as she didn't do too much."

"Brooke will tough it out ya know? She isn't going to let some doctor get the best of her"

"That's what worries me… She is trying so hard, if something does happen I don't want her blaming herself… and we both know she will" Karen sighed feeling a little better about Peyton being there. That was until Peyton spoke again.

"Brooke doesn't blame herself… she pretends to blame herself to make other people feel bad for her… I wouldn't worry"

"Peyton… what are you really doing here?"

"Just trying to hide from my life I guess" Peyton ½ sighed ½ smiled trying to make it a little like a joke.., but Karen knew better and she didn't like the sound of it

"Leave Brooke and Lucas alone… I don't know what's going on with you or what you are planning but they have enough going on. You wanna be her friend fine… But do it from somewhere else"

Brooke sat boredly on the couch as usual… just like she always did when Lucas was at work. She hated being home alone with out him. She had never been much of a Tv watcher and she sure as hell wasn't reading for fun. It was times like this she wished she could draw or something interesting like that. How sad was it that these days she couldn't entertain herself with out Lucas? Those 3 hours without him were like the 3 hours from hell, she didn't even want to imagine what it was going to be like when she had 2 little babies to watch while Lucas was at practice. Luckily by the time they were born it was the off season and Lucas would be home most everyday. But that wasn't today… today she was just in a bad whiney mood to start with. Her back had been killing her all day and it seemed like as soon as Lucas left the babies decided they wanted to play soccer with her bladder causing her to end up in the bathroom every 10 minutes. Then as soon as she would sit back down again the phone would ring… being either Haley, Karen, or something like that. This time it was Karen… again.

"Hello" Brooke sighed feeling more annoyed than ever. She just wanted to lay there and talk randomness to her babies like she usually did. Ever since the doctor had said they could hear her she liked to talk to them non stop… but people kept interrupting.

"Hey Sweetie"

"Hey Karen"

"How are you feeling?" Karen asked. Brooke didn't sound great… she was ok, but not great and that worried Karen. She liked to hear the happy cheery Brooke, not the one who sounded like she would be having more fun if someone where pulling toenails

"Fine"

"Don't lie to me… I'm a mother too you know"

"Tired…bored as hell… you know what would make this pregnancy much more interesting? Beer" Brooke sighed waiting for a reaction. This should have definitely made it interesting…

"Brooke don't you dare"

"I'm kidding…"

"Lucas at practice?" Karen asked hearing the sad bordness in Brooke's voice… that always meant one thing

"Yea…hints the boredom"

"I'm sorry, I saw Peyton today"

"Oh lovely…haha baby right kicked when you said that… you tell them baby!" Brooke giggled. She had to admit that gave her great satisfaction. If she could corrupt her little ones against the people she didn't like there were endless possiblilites!

"You gotta name those kids"

"When Lucas and I can agree on 2 names for each (Boy or girl) then we will find out, until then they are the mystery babies!"

"You 2 are something you know that?" Karen laughed rolling her eyes on the other end of the phone. Those 2 were just too much to take in sometimes but they gave her a good laugh.

"And that's why we're so fabulous together… don't you think?"

"Oh god… we'll I'm going to see if I can't come up tomorrow… keep you company?"

"Son of a bitch…" Brooke yelled almost dropping the phone

"Or not"

"No my back… It's seriously killing me"

"For how long now?" Karen asked sounding worried. Brooke didn't like the tone of her voice at all… of course considering the severe pain she was in at that moment it was very likely she was hearing wrong

"On and off all day… its better when I stand though, but Lucas wouldn't let me stand and ok its better"

"Brooke… how many weeks are you" Karen asked nervously. She was glad she was on her cell phone because she knew exactly what this meant and before she did anything else she grabbed her keys and started for the car

"29 on Monday"

"Brooke… call Lucas"

"Why?" Brooke asked utterly confused. She really wasn't understanding why Karen was making such a big deal about this. She was having twins… of course her back was going to hurt.

"Because your in labor"
