That's All Chapter Nine—What a Year!
DISCLAIMER: If I owned them do you really think I'd be sitting here writing this? I'd either be working on season three or hanging out with the cast. I don't claim to own them. Never have, never will.
SUMMARY: Takes place after the finale. It's Brucas, Naley and later on a Jeyton. That's all I'm telling you for now because I don't wanna ruin the surprises.
Thank you all for your reviews. It really means a lot to me. Thank you all so, so much. And now that I got my new computer that is all mine, I promise I will update more unless I get writer's block, which I don't see happening for a while.

Brooke left Peyton's room after she fell asleep and walked slowly down the hall towards Haley's room. After Haley had made Peyton's tea, she decided that Peyton needed Brooke and only Brooke at the time so she went into her room to worry on her own. "How is she?" Haley asked Brooke looking up. Brooke sat down on the bed next to Haley. "She's a wreck but she finally fell asleep." Brooke said sighing. "How are you doing Tutor Mom? You're starting to show a bit!" Brooke squealed. "I know, and it sucks. I remember when Quinn was pregnant she didn't need maternity clothes until she was six months. I have to buy some in a few weeks." Haley said making a face.
"Yeah, that sucks. I don't want kids." Brooke stated.
"Why?"
"Because I'm scared I'll mess them up like my parents messed me up." Brooke explained. "And I'll get fat and let's face it I'm damm sexy like this." Brooke said giggling. Haley laughed.
"You've changed and you haven't at the same time Brooke."
"I know. I'm just plain priceless. But anyway, enough about me unfortunately, how are you doing? Seriously."
"I'll be alright eventually. Nathan and I got into another fight tonight, which ended in me telling him to screw off and stay out of the baby's life and mine. And at the time I actually meant it but I don't anymore."
"Haley!" Brooke groaned. "You two are idiots!" Brooke continued.
"I know. URRRRG! Everything is just so messed up! How did it get this way?" Haley groaned. "Puberty" Brooke stated. Haley half laughed half cried.
"Its just that I don't know how to talk to him anymore. And that scares me, surprises me and depresses me all at once. We used to be able to talk so easily but now…I don't know!"
"Don't worry if Lucas and I can work things out then you and Nathan sure as hell can. There was a lot more hurt and deceit between Luke and I than you and Nate. Don't worry I'm sure you and Nathan will work things out."
"Thanks Brooke."
"Anytime Hales. Do you need anything?"
"No. But I am tired."
"You don't have to say it twice. I'll go." Brooke said giving Haley a hug and standing up. Brooke walked to the door then looked back. "If you need anything Hales I'm just a phone call away."
"I know and thanks Brooke."

Lucas sat on the couch mindlessly flipping through channels and wondering why Keith was back. Keith had been so exhausted that he just collapsed on the bed in the guest room and fell asleep. Now Lucas was stuck here flipping through channels his mind thinking. He finally settled on a re-run of Family Guy. "Boyfriend I'm home!" Brooke called out walking into the house.
"Hey. So what's up?" Lucas asked Brooke as she snuggled up to him.
"Peyton's pregnant too." Brooke explained.
"What? Are you kidding me?" Lucas asked.
"Nope. It seems we live in our very own live soap opera. What did you do without me to keep you entertained?"
"I hung out with Nathan, and then Keith showed up."
"What? Does he know about—"
"Not yet. He was so exhausted that he immediately fell asleep when he got to the guest bedroom bed. So I figured we'd head to the café early, leave him a note to come to the café so Deb can tell him about well you know."
"Good idea."
"Thanks. Hey was it me or was Haley showing a bit tonight."
"No she was, and I bet you ten bucks it's twins."
"You're on."
"Come on. Let's go to bed so we can be out of here early. Plus it's been a long night."
"Good thinking." Lucas said pulling Brooke up.

Peyton laid on her bed crying and thinking. Thinking about how what was happening to her was just not possible. You see, she's in denial. She was thinking about how even if it was happening, she had no idea how to be a mom since she lost her's so young. Add in the fact that she was going to be a single mom, let's just say Miss. Sawyer's head was spinning. There was one thing she was certain of—she was keeping it. She didn't believe in abortion, and after finding out about how she was adopted, she really didn't believe in adoption either. Haley crept into Peyton's room and Peyton looked up. "Hey" Haley said sitting next to her.
"Hey" Peyton replied attempting a smile but failing miserably.
"So a year ago would you have of ever guessed that we'd be in this mess?" Peyton asked.
"A year ago I wouldn't have guessed how close you, Brooke and I have become, let alone seventeen and pregnant together."
"Same here. I don't know how I'm going to do this Hales. At least Nathan wants to be involved even if you two aren't exactly getting along. But I have no idea where Jake is, how to contact him, or when or if he'll ever come back. God I miss him Haley. Even more so now. I know that after the initial shock of 'oh my God I'm going to have two kids before 21' wore off he'd be really excited. And he'd be there all the way. And he is such a good dad. I don't know how I'm not going to screw this kid up majorly."
"I know. You want the truth?" Peyton nodded. "I don't know how Nathan and I aren't going to screw this kid up majorly either." Peyton smiled.
"How did our lives get so messed up?"
"In the words of Brooke Davis, we hit puberty. But uh, let's see, I got married and knocked up and—"
"I just got knocked up. Oh and there was that whole cocaine thing too. My God it's been such a year!" Peyton groaned putting her head in her hands.
"It'll get better." Haley promised hugging Peyton.
"God I hope so because I don't know how much more I can take."
