She got a sitter and she got a job cause she had a promise to keep

Her day was a factory and evenin' survival and night was exhaustion and sleep

Sometimes she felt life was passing her by and watchin' was all she could do

Her friends said you gotta get outta the house and maybe you'll meet some one new

It had been a few years since Travis left and Brooke and Heidi had settled into a routine, at 8am Brooke dropped Heidi at Haley's house where Haley ran a day care, Brooke would work from 9-4:30 and then pick Heidi up from Haley's. Unless Brooke got overtime then Peyton would pick Heidi up and take her over to Brooke's house. They would arrive home a couple minutes later and Brooke would play with Heidi while she was making dinner, then at around 7:30 Heidi would settle into bed and Brooke would read her a story and Heidi would be asleep by 8. That's when Brooke would go through the mail, pay bills and do whatever small house work that had to be done. The weekends were filled with Brooke playing with Heidi all day by going to the park and other things that Heidi liked to do.

Brooke hadn't heard from or seen Travis since the day he left which she was happy about because that meant to her that he was just a little boy scared of responsibility. Haley and Peyton had started trying to get Brooke to start dating again, so much so that they had tried to set her up with one of the single dad's that had a child at Haley's day care. Brooke told them she didn't want to date because she just wanted to concentrate on Heidi and raising her right.

"Mommy, can you braid my hair for me?" Asked Heidi.

"Of course, honey come over here and sit down." Said Brooke as Heidi walked over to her and sat down on the couch.

"Mommy, Auntie Haley is taking us on a field trip can you come with us?"

"Let Mommy talk to Auntie Haley and then see if I can get the day off from work okay?"

"Okay." Said Heidi as she sat there while Brooke braided her hair.

The next day as Brooke was dropping Heidi off she spoke with Haley about the field trip.

"So Heidi mentioned a field trip last night and asked me to go." Said Brooke as she watched Heidi play with the other kids.

"I know you have to work so if you can't that's okay." Said Haley.

"No I told her that I would talk to you then work so where are you going."

"The petting zoo."

"When?"

"Next Wednesday."

"Okay, well I'll talk to my boss and I will let you know tonight when I pick her up." Said Brooke.

"Okay."

"Heidi, I'm leaving." Said Brooke into the playroom.

"Okay, bye Mommy love you." Said Heidi as she ran up to Brooke and hugged her.

"Love you too, be good for Auntie Haley." Said Brooke.

"I will, bye." Said Heidi.

"Bye."

Brooke walked into work and found her boss, to see if she could have the day of the field trip off.

"Hey Mike, can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure, Brooke what's up?"

"You know I never ask you for anything unless it's important right?"

"Right."

"Okay, well Heidi has a field trip next Wednesday and she asked me to go, now normally I usually tell Haley I can't because of work. But my kid asked me this time."

"Have fun next Wednesday, where are you guys going?"

"My favorite place in the world the petting zoo. Thanks Mike." Said Brooke as she walked out of the office.

"You're welcome."

Later that day Brooke walked into Haley's house to pick Heidi up.

"Hey Hales, so you still need a chaperone for next Wednesday?" Asked Brooke as she stole one of Nathan's fries off his plate.

"You got it off?"

"Yeah, I used my power of persuasion." Said Brooke.

"Correction, she used the Heidi card and asked Mike." Said Nathan.

"I did not all I told him was that Heidi asked me to go. Speaking of where is my bundle of energy?"

"In the playroom playing."

"Heidi, honey we have to go." Said Brooke.

"Mommy, can you go with me to the petting zoo?"

"Yes, I can. I asked Mike this morning and he said I could go." Said Brooke.

"Yay!"

"Okay, well we have to go, thanks for the fries Nate. See ya in the morning." Said Brooke.

"Bye Brooke." Said Nathan. "She needs a boyfriend Haley."

"I've tried, Peyton's tried she won't go on any dates that we set her up on." Said Haley.

"I understand the whole, doing what's right for Heidi but she needs to start dating again."

"Nathan don't tell me tell her." Said Haley.
