That's All Chapter Ten—Doctor's Appointments, MIA, and The Homecoming

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: So here's a quick recap about what happened in the past ten chapters. Brooke came back to be with Luke. Haley came home and dropped the bombshell about being pregnant to Nathan and everyone else. Peyton hadn't been feeling good for a while and it turned out she was pregnant too (poor Brooke). Turns out Jules was the one that killed Dan Scott, and Keith still doesn't know because he just came back to Tree Hill. That's about it folks. Read on for more.

Thank you all for your reviews. It really means a lot to me. Thank you all so, so much. Sorry guys I lied about more updates, turns out university life is crazier than even I thought. Thank God I decided to go to the university in my hometown otherwise I think I'd loose my mind. LOL. But I will try to update more I swear.

Lucas and Brooke true to their word, woke up early and headed to the café. Hey you two. How was your night last night?" Deb asked them.

"Um let's see, Peyton's pregnant and Keith came back." Brooked stated pouring herself and Luke some coffee. "Does he know about—"

"Dan? No. we thought that you could tell him." Lucas said cutting Deb off.

"Why do I have to do it?" Deb asked.

"Uh…because you're the adult and we don't want to." Brooke stated. Deb sighed and went into the back of the café to check on some muffins just as Keith came walking in the door. "Hi Keith. It's good to see you." Brooke said flashing one of her famous Brooke Davis smiles. "It's good to see you too Brooke. Hey Luke. Is Deb here?" Keith asked.

"Uh yeah, she's in the back." Lucas replied. Keith nodded and walked to the back of the café to find Deb. "Hey Deb."

"Keith! How are you?" Deb asked hugging Keith.

"I'm better. How are you?" Keith asked.

"Good. I'm good." Deb said.

"So what's up? Lucas and Brooke left me a note saying you had something to tell me."

"Yeah, there's no easy way to say this so I'm just going to say. When you were gone, someone drugged Dan and proceeded to set the dealership on fire. Dan's dead Keith."

"Oh my God!" Keith mumbled.

"It gets worse. Jules did it. When the police asked her why she simply said that the evil son of a bitch had it coming." Deb finished. Keith stood there in shock for a few minutes not saying anything. "He was my brother and the biggest ass there ever was, but he was my brother and I didn't really want him to die." Keith said after a few minutes. Deb hugged Keith. "Are you going to be ok?" she asked.

"I'm not sure. I just need some time to process this." Keith stated walking out the kitchen door, past Lucas and Brooke and out the café door. Deb sighed and made her way to the front of the café where Lucas and Brooke were talking about how to get Haley and Nathan talking again. "How's it go? Lucas asked looking up.

"I'm not too sure." Deb said looking out the café's windows. "Can I get you two anything to eat?" she continued snapping back to reality.

"No, I have to go get Peyton for her doctor's appointment. I was able to get her one for this morning last minute, and Luke has to go meet the guys down at the river court." Brooke explained. "ok, have fun." Deb said as they went out the door.

Brooke stopped in the doctor's office parking lot and looked over at Peyton. She looked horrible, her eyes were puffy and had dark circles under them. They were also red which meant she had been crying again. Her face was way to pale and she was trembling. Brooke had to practically drag her out of bed when she got there. Peyton was staring out the window lost. "You ready?" Brooke asked.

"No." Peyton replied.

"Too bad. Lets go Goldilocks." Brooke said getting out of her car. Brooke and Peyton walked into the doctor's office and Peyton went and talked to the nurse. The nurse gave Peyton some forms to fill out, which Brooke ended up filling out because Peyton was shaking too much. The nurse called Peyton and showed Peyton and Brooke to the examine room. "The doctor will be with you in a minute dear." She said closing the door leaving them alone.

"I'm really scared Brooke."

"I know. But it will all be ok in the end." Brooke replied.

"How can you—"

"Good morning. I'm doctor Carla Brown. Which one of you is Peyton Sawyer?" Dr. Brown asked.

"I am. This is my best friend Brooke Davis." Peyton replied. Brooke did one of those smile and wave things and the doctor did one of those acknowledging head nods. "Ok, I need to ask you a few questions Peyton. First of all, where is the baby's father?"

"It's a long story"

"I've got time."
"But what about all of those women in there?" Peyton asked referring to the waiting room. "I don't care about them right now, I care about you. How old are you Peyton?"

"Seventeen."

" I see. Do you see this girl?" Dr Brown asked taking out a picture.

"Yeah…"

"She's my daughter. She's seventeen. I'm thirty four. I had her when I was seventeen like you are now. I was alone in the world Peyton with the exception of my mother. And I would of loved to have someone else on my side but I didn't. and I vowed I was going to become and obgyn and be there for people that were in my situation. So right now, I don't care about those other women, I care about you and only you. So let me ask you again. Where is the father?" Peyton sighed and somehow found herself telling the whole story, with Brooke helping periodically. Dr. Brown nodded all the way through. "Do you have any idea what you are going to do?" she asked.

" I…I'm going to keep it." Peyton stated.

"Good. You'll get through this. I can tell you are a strong person Peyton. And you obviously have good friends." Dr. brown said referring to Brooke. Peyton nodded.

"Ok, now I need to take an ultrasound, so just lift your shirt a bit and I'm going to put this gel stuff on your stomach. It's going to feel a bit cold." Dr. Brown warned. Peyton nodded and shivered as the stuff hit her still flat stomach. A fast thumping noise filled the room. "That is the baby's heart beat, and that right there is your baby." Dr. Brown stated while Peyton stared at the screen in awe.

Isn't it a bit small?" Brooke asked raising her eyebrows. Dr. Brown shook her head. "That is a perfectly normal size for eight weeks. Wait here, I'll go get you a print out." Dr. Brown said exiting the room.

"Hey, P. Sawyer, are you going to be ok?" Brooke asked.

"Yeah, I think I am."

Lucas sat at the café eating fries, talking with Haley and waiting for Brooke to get back. "I'm happy your back Hales. We missed you." Lucas said.

"Aww! Luke your gonna make me cry!" Haley exclaimed.

"What? Why?" Lucas asked

"Hormones." Haley stated.

"Already?"

"You'd better watch your back Lucas Eugene Scott!"

" Kidding. Just kidding Hales."

"How are things with you and Brooke?"

"Good. Fantastic even. How have you been feeling?"

"Surprisingly good. I missed this."

"Missed what?"

"Me and you just hanging out, talking, and me stealing your fries."

"I did too. Like I said, it's great to have you back. I missed my best friend." Lucas and Peyton came walking in the door.

"Hey! How'd it go?" Haley asked.

"Good. It was good." Peyton said looking at the printout that she hadn't put down since the doctor gave it to her. "That's great." Haley exclaimed.

"Hey is Deb here? I need to talk to her about Tric." Peyton said.

"Yeah she's in the back. I'll come with you." Haley replied.

"Hi there Broody!" Brooke said kissing Luke and stealing one of his fries.

"Why hello there Cheery!" Lucas said kissing her back.

"Well someone is happy to see me." Brooke exclaimed after they broke apart.

" I missed you. You've been MIA for like the past week."

"Peyton needed me."

"Yeah well I still missed you. I always do."

"Aww! Broody! Come here!" Brooke said kissing Luke again. The door opened but they didn't notice because they were to busy making out. "Well it's nice to see you two getting along." Karen stated. Lucas and Brooke broke apart and turned around.

"Mom! I thought you weren't coming back for another two weeks!" Lucas said getting up to give Karen a hug.

"Well Andy's sister came, so we came back to see you two because I missed you so much."

"It's great to see you Karen." Brooke said hugging Karen.

"It's great to be home. How are you two?"

"We're good. It's everyone else." Lucas stated.

"What?"

"Go talk to them, they are in the back." Brooke said.

"I think I will." Karen said kissing Lucas's forehead and walking to the back. Nathan came walking in. "Hey Tutor Dad!" Brooke greeted.

"Hi Brooke. Hey Luke. Is Haley here?" Nathan asked rolling his eyes at Brooke.

"Yeah, she's in the back. But Brooke and I need to go."

"We do?" Brooke asked. Lucas shot her a look. "Oh right we do! Lucas promised to paint my nails so we'd better be going!" Brooke said getting up and leaving.

"See ya! Lucas said calling over his shoulder. '"Nail painting? Could you of been more obvious?" Lucas asked once they got outside.

"You caught me off guard." Brooke replied laughing.

"Wow." Karen said after she had been caught up in the happenings of Tree Hill. Nathan came walking into the back. "Hi sweetie do you want me to make you something to eat?" Deb asked.

"No thanks. Haley can we talk?" Nathan asked.

"Yeah. Excuse me." Haley said.

"Hi Karen!" Nathan said going to walk away.

"Hi Nathan." Karen replied.

"So I'm sorry" They both said at the same time.

"You first," Nathan said to Haley.

"I'm sorry that I told you to stay out of our lives Nathan. I didn't mean it."

"I know, and I'm sorry I provoked you Hales." Haley smiled at Nathan because he hadn't called her Hales in ages. "Ok, so lets try and be friends. If were meant to be, it will grow into more, if not, then it just wasn't meant to be." Nathan said.

"Sounds good." Haley said as the door opened. "I have to get this ok? Haley asked. Nathan nodded ok. "I'll see you Tuesday, we can talk some more after the ultra sound" Nathan said.

"Sounds good" Haley said walking away.
