Brooke had not mentioned the phone call to Jake at all. It had been a day since the phone call and Brooke was afraid to bring it up she did not know how Jake would react, plus she saw his reaction after the phone call. They decided to spend the day together walking around Tree Hill. They ended up at Karen's Café. Jake really wanted Jenny to always remember this place, it was again the place where everyone really found out Jake had a daughter, after all during open mic night. It was also the place where Karen gave Jake a job and allowed Jenny to play. It meant so much to him. He wanted to someday repay Karen for what she had done. As soon as Jake and Brooke walked in Karen took Jenny and spoiled her. "Karen you really don't need to, you have already done so much" Karen would not except that at all. "Shush, I want to take care of her it has been awhile since I have had a kid near me". Brooke was in a way glad that Karen was taking Jenny for a little while because now she could talk to Jake alone. Jake and Brooke took a booth by the window. Jake had an idea that Brooke wanted to talk so he decided to start.
"So I figure you wanted to know about the phone call." Brooke didn't want to press the issue. "I would love to know, but I don't want to make you uncomfortable."
"Babe, we are together now, you should know what is going on in my life." Brooke was glad that Jake said that. Made her feel as if the relationship is really important. "So I bet you think that it was Nikki calling. Well you are wrong in away, it was not Nikki but her older sister. As it turns out Nikki's sister goes to Stanford and I ran into her one day. I had no idea she even went to school. Emily saw me one day with Jenny and recognized me I guess from pictures her sister had shown. I guess Emily told Nikki. Emily has in a way been stalking me for a little while. I didn't really want Jenny to know any of her maternal side because of how screwed up her mom is, I am also afraid of them trying to take my daughter away. I know it might not be the right thing for her, especially when she is older, but still I figured it was the best way now. It just seems like I cant get away from Emily she always wants to see Jenny and has asked me out a few times, don't worry I told her I had a girlfriend."
In a way Brooke was almost relieved. She knew that her relationship with Jake was strong and not in trouble. "Jake, I understand why you don't want Jenny to know her mother's side of the family, but maybe having her spend a little time with Emily once a week wont be bad. You could stay with them the first few times just to make sure everything is ok. Plus this will give you some time off."
Jake decided to think about this for awhile and finally decided that Brooke was right. "Ok, when your right your right, I will call her when we get back to school and set up a time."
After they finished eating Brooke gathered up Jenny from Karen and the three of them headed off to get ready to meet everyone at the beach house for their last night in Tree Hill for awhile.
