Hey guys! So I need your advice. For my next story... I'm kinda torn. I actually have 2 ideas and I'm not sure which to do. One story takes place RIGHT after the season finale, Brooke's pregnant, Peyton's a whore, Rachel and Brooke are kinda friends, ect; Its really heart felt, tear jerker, not everything is perfect. The people who have read what I have so far REALLY like this one, but I dont know if you guys are getting tired of thebaby storylines or what.

Then in the 2nd one, which no one has read yet because it has about 2 pages so far (haha) It takes placeabout a month after the finale, The only pregnant person is Karen, Brooke and Lucas are NOT together (Brooke needed more time or something) Its got the whole Lucas, Brooke, Peyton triangle. I've never really written one like this so I have no idea what way I'll end up taking it. Obviously Lucas will NEVER be in love with Peyton in ANY of my stories, but I could take this one in different directions then I have before.

Anyways! You guys think on it and leave in your reviews what you'd rather read. I can do either or, I'm just not sure I'd have time to do both. So majority will win. Both stories are NEW, Fresh, stuff I've never really gotten into before. Hahha they arent as soapy and happy as they usually are but I think they're something different to read! ANyways! Let me know! Thanks so much! and enjoy this chapter!

"Come here Gucci… come on" Brooke whined at the puppy trying to get it to come t o her instead of Lucas. The time had come that they had to pick just 1 name for the dog…

"Nope… come here Sherlock"

"You guys are killing that poor dog…" Peyton laughed watching as they went back and forth calling the dog… meanwhile it just sat in Ella's lap as she patted his head.

"He has to learn his name"

"Which he is never going to do if you keep calling him Gucci"

"Or if you keep calling him Sherlock" Brooke snorted rolling her eyes at him. This was pointless… neither of them were ever going to cave when it came to naming the dog.

"Doggie" Ella laughed as the puppy licked her face.

"Ella… you're not helping…"

"Maybe you should combine the 2 names?"

"Into what… Guchlock or Sherucci… they sound like German pornos" Brooke sighed feeling completely hopeless.

"Let Ella name him then, since she obviously gets the dog to come to her"

"Ella… what's the dogs name?"

"Doggie" Ella giggled

"Good one Peyton…"

"So what are you naming that kid anyway… since you're so smart when it comes to this stuff"

"Maybe you should ask Ella" Lucas sighed, feeling as frustrated with the situation as Brooke.

"I've got ideas… you wont like them"

"Who says?"

"Brooke… You want to name your kids Isabella and Tristan because you've seen Legends of the fall way to many times… and Lucas you want to name yours Summerset and Tennessee because of your books… its all about what you're into…" Peyton trailed off trying to change the subject. She wasn't really ready to go public with her baby names yet. It all made it seem too real and soon…

"We're not naming our kids Summerset and Tennessee" Brooke whispered patting Lucas's shoulder.

"Then let me name the dog"

"Come on Peyton… Tell us"

"You can't laugh" Peyton sighed figuring she might as well tell them. They were obviously going to find out at some point anyway…

"Why would we laugh?"

"For a girl… I like Lyric or Melody… for a boy Stanza or Reed"

"Somehow Tennessee doesn't sound so bad anymore" Brooke whispered trying hard not to laugh. The names were very… Peyton style. They all had something to do with music.

"Don't you hate walking around with a name that everyone else has? I mean seriously how many Brooke, Peyton, and Lucas's are there in the world?"

"A lot…"

"So maybe I want my baby to be different…" Peyton said completely sure of herself. That made Brooke happy… at least she was finally sure about one thing… even if it was only the babies name.

"But Lyric?"

"I like Music…"

"It's your kid… but maybe you should consult Nathan… or Jake… for the baby's sake" Brooke said still trying not to laugh… and she had thought Lucas's baby names were bad.

"You're so lucky I'm too fat to get up" Peyton laughed as the doorbell rang.

"Guess that's them" Brooke sighed looking over to make sure Ella was dressed in her cutest summer dress. Over the past few weeks Brooke and Lucas had been 'borrowing' her from the children's home almost everyday. She and Lucas had decided since she was probably going to get adopted, and since Brooke left for her internship in a few weeks, they should spend as much time with her as they could before it all went to hell. It was fine until Marshall and Patty started their visitation…, which was where they spent a few hours a day with Ella to get her used to them. That cut into Ella time majorly…it had helped a little since they now just picked Ella up at the apartment… and always brought her back wearing some hideous outfit. Brooke was just counting the days until they cut her beautiful soft brown curls… and then she'd have to kill them

"Uh oh"

"Uh Oh's right… you ready to go?" Brooke asked pulling little Ella into her arms.

"Nowa…I stay hwere"

"You have to go play with Patty and Marshall now"

"Hey Brooke… is she ready?" Marshall asked giving Brooke a quick hug. She actually liked him… he was what she always imagined her dad should have been like… nice, fun… maybe trying a little too hard, but over all Brooke and Lucas didn't actually mind Ella with him. It was Patty who was the over-bearing bitch in the family… she hated the fact that Ella was with Brooke and Lucas, and the fact that Ella liked Brooke and Lucas better than her.

"Nowa… I don want too"

"Come Ella"

"Patty… let her tell them bye" Marshall snapped quietly to his wife. Clearly he wasn't as opposed to Brooke and Lucas's relationship with Ella as patty was. He was always helping Brooke and Lucas out when it came to this stuff.

"Nowa"

"Hey Ella… what if Patty and I bring you back over here for dinner?"

"Marshall… We cant" Patty snapped back, looking completely mortified that her husband would suggest such a thing.

"I think we can… Brooke can you cook?"

"No…" Lucas answered for her

"I can try…"

"We'll bring something back"

"We'll see you later El… be good ok?" Lucas smiled giving Ella a quick hug. She didn't look happy at all… but at this point she'd learned that even if she did kick and scream… she still had to go with them.

"Thanks guys…"

"How did a guy like that end up with a woman like her?" Lucas asked once they were out the door and down a few stairs.

"Lucas, have you looked at your girlfriend lately?"

"Ouch…"

"Yes, but my girlfriends beautiful" Lucas smiled wrapping his arms around Brooke's waist.

"You two make me si- - ow…"

"What's wrong…"

"Nothing…baby just kicked" Peyton laughed. She'd been scaring Brooke and Lucas all week. Every little noise she made, they assumed meant she was having the baby.

"That has to feel so gross"

"You have no idea"

"Howdy ho… and Lucas and Peyton" Haley said bursting through the door with Nathan… somehow New York was turning into Tree Hill as in no one ever knocked… ever.

"Why do we have such weird friends?"

"Hey… he used to be weird too"

"Until I trained him…" Brooke giggled kissing Lucas

"By training him you mean stealing his virginity?"

"Lets not be jealous Haley"

"What are you guys up too?" Nathan asked trying to change the subject, apparently talk of his wife/girlfriend/whatever they were being jealous of Brooke with Lucas was too much to handle

"We should go eat… I'm seriously like craving Chinese"

"Ew…"

"Just me then… come on Boyfriend, you can buy your favorite girlfriend some food" Brooke smiled dragging Lucas to the door. All that dog training had worn her out.

"My favorite girlfriend?"

"Yea… wait… am I the only one with multiple partners in this relationship?" Brooke asked kissing him as they made their way out the door.

"How do those 2 not make each other sick?"

"Who knows… I'm gonna run down to the bakery and grab some bread and stuff for us to eat… Peyton, any requests?"

"Take me with you?"

"Nope… but I will leave Nathan here with you so you wont be alone… I'll be back"

Peyton and Nathan sat in silence for a few minutes. Peyton didn't really know what to say to him… Nathan was a quiet guy as it was, but the fact that he was sitting there with her, probably made things worse. Then again she had no idea if he even had any clue…

"So…"

"So…"

"How long do you give it before Brooke's pregnant?" Nathan asked trying to make small talk. Brooke jokes always seemed to work… at least with Peyton.

"She and Lucas are actually pretty responsible about it believe it or not…"

"That's good…"

"Yea" Peyton laughed… then it got quiet again.

"I give it 6 months"

"Nathan!"

"Hey… I didn't say it was Lucas's baby" Nathan smiled, blushing a little bit.

"You're terrible…"

"Just trying to think of something to make them less happy and perky all the time"

"I hear ya…" Peyton sighed, happy to know that she wasn't the only one that wished she had what Brooke and Lucas had. After a minute of laughing there was another long pause…

"Do they know the baby might be mine?" Nathan finally asked, catching Peyton completely off guard.

"I"

"I'm sorry I didn't say anything before, I was trying to convince myself that it couldn't be…"

"Same here…" Peyton sighed, still in utter shock that he had thrown that one at her.

"Does anyone know?"

"Brooke and Lucas"

"Figures" Nathan laughed. Peyton couldn't tell if he was mad… or just upset… maybe a little of both.

"I had to tell someone"

"You could have told me"

"Yes… but then I would have had to tell Jake" Peyton said, her heart starting to hurt a little at the thought of Jake and how much she missed him.

"That guy just cant keep it in his pants can he?"

"He'd be here if he knew"

"I knew… and I wasn't until now" Nathan asked. Peyton had decided he was definitely mad… maybe not so much at her, but just mad in general pretty much covered it.

"You're not Jake"

"We need to find out if the babies mine Peyton" Nathan yelled, not believing what Peyton had just said to him… Peyton had a blank terrified look on her face… at first he thought it was because he had yelled, he hadn't meant to go that crazy… but then he saw what Peyton saw, out of the corner of his eye.

"The elevator's stuck"

"Haley…"

Brooke and Lucas sat in the elevator kinda staring at the ceiling. Brooke was of course in his lap. They were both extra clingy lately… with Brooke's impending trip less than 2 weeks away, they were both worrying… Brooke tried not to get upset about it. She spent the days telling herself she'd be ok without Lucas for a little while, maybe it would even be good for them. Then night would come, and all it took was for him to wrap his arms around her as they slept for her to know she definitely wasn't going to be ok. It hurt just thinking about it. But of course, in famous Brooke and Lucas style… neither of them talked about it… in fact they avoided it like the plague. But it was getting too close for it not to be obvious what was on both of their minds, even if the other one said nothing.

"Good thing you're on my elevator list" Brooke sighed playing with the buttons on Lucas's shirt.

"We can't have sex in the elevator"

"Why?"

"Its too cliché" Lucas laughed rolling his eyes at Brooke. This was probably her dream come true, and he was saying no…

"So?"

"So… its like bad luck or something"

"Its bad luck not too…it is kinda gross though" Brooke gagged looking at the floor they were sitting on.

"And it's hot as hell in here already…"

"Great… my cell has no signal in here"

"So we wait?" Lucas asked, knowing this was driving her crazy.

"We could play game"

"With just us?"

"Why not? Ok… take your shirt off" Brooke smiled deciding she was going to get him naked one way or the other… then they'd have to have sex… hopefully he'd be dumb enough to fall for it.

"Why?"

"Just do it"

"Here…now what?" Lucas asked, knowing exactly what Brooke was doing… what she didn't know was he could play dirty too.

"I don't know… its just much more fun to be stuck in an elevator with you shirtless"

"Your turn"

"What?" Brooke asked confused… what did he mean, her turn…

"Shirt for a shirt"

"Happy? Now your pants then"

"How is this not going to lead to sex?" Lucas asked shaking his head at her. She was just grinning, making him wonder why he was saying no to sex with her in the elevator.

"Because we don't have a condom…"

"Fine… now yours"

"Fine"

"We're so lame… of course we're having sex in the elevator" Lucas sighed kissing Brooke. He wasn't even sure why he tried to be responsible with her… what was the point? As long as they were using protection what did it matter… plus he was getting ready to loose her for the rest of the summer, so they needed this. He ran his fingers up her back to un-hook her bra as she kissed him hard. He was seriously living every guys dream right now as she ran her fingers though his hair, still kissing him. But of course, this was just all way too perfect.

"DON'T TALK TO ME"

"Haley?" Brooke asked pulling away from Lucas's lips at the sound of Haley's voice.

"Haley! I'm sorry, I didn't know!"

"Are we still on our floor?"

"Haley… wait, he isn't lying!" Brooke heard Peyton yell. She was guessing they were all in front of the elevator because their words were crystal clear.

"This sounds bad"

"PEYTON! BROOKE WAS RIGHT WHEN SHE SAID YOU WERE A WHORE"

"That was like 2 years ago!" Brooke whispered pissed that Haley would use that.

"Right…and when Brooke said you were a selfish little slut… she was right about you too"

"Why are they bringing me into this"

"Because they don't know we're in here…" Lucas sighed preparing himself for a long day… even if they did get out of here anytime soon, they had all the drama outside waiting for them. He was guessing it was a good thing they were stuck in here.

"Shit" Brooke heard Peyton cry.

"That sounded bad…"

"What's wrong?" Nathan asked sounding really concerned. Brooke and Lucas were starting to get nervous…

"My water just broke"

"Have fun delivering YOUR baby!" Haley screamed beating on the elevator door. Brooke guessed she didn't know it was jammed or something.

"Someone call 911"

"10 bucks says it's a girl"

"You're on"

The next few hours passed by pretty slow… Peyton screaming in pain, Haley screaming at Nathan, Nathan screaming because he didn't know what to do, and Brooke and Lucas stuck in the elevator listening to it all… Brooke was starting to wonder why someone hadn't suggested to take Peyton down the stairs to get her out… but apparently her friends didn't have that much common sense when it came to these things… but she was really worried about Peyton. She and Lucas had tried yelling for a few minutes… but apparently Nathan, Haley and Peyton were deaf… or just ignoring them. Either way… they were all pretty much screwed.

"This sounds painful… are you sure you really need kids one day?" Brooke asked trying to ignore Peyton's moaning and screaming… she'd never heard anything like it, I mean she'd seen stuff on TV, and films in class… but it sounded so much worse in person.

"Uh…not so much"

"Good… because it isn't happening"

"What do you thinks going on?" Lucas asked trying to imagine what was going on out there. It still sounded like just Peyton, Haley and Nathan…

"I don't think she's like… having it, I mean maybe? I don't know!"

"DON'T TOUCH ME"

"She sounds violent" Brooke shuddered sliding closer to Lucas. This whole thing was giving her chills and making her feel nauseous.

"I feel bad for her… I mean this changes everything in her life, and to have it happen like this?"

"You're mom did ok"

"Yea… but I know if she'd had the choice back then she wouldn't have had me, just like would you willingly choose to be pregnant right now?" Lucas asked, already knowing Brooke's answer. They'd had this conversation what seemed like a million times.

"No… but if I were I wouldn't spend all my time thinking about what if, ya know? When we have kids I want everything to be perfect but if its not… we'll deal with it, I don't want to end up bitter about it like my parents were"

"You think Peyton will end up bitter?"

"I don't know"

"Peyton, we're here to help" A voice said outside. It wasn't Haley or Nathan…

"Whose that?"

"Paramedic maybe?"

"How long before you can get that elevator open?" Another voice asked. Brooke and Lucas could hear a lot of footsteps now… and less crying from Peyton.

"Few more minutes"

"It hurts"

"No duh…" Haley muttered, personally Brooke couldn't believe she was being a smart ass at a time like this, but then again she didn't really blame her.

"Ok Peyton on the count of 3"

"Ew… why are having to hear this?"

"Maybe it's a sign we should have less sex?" Lucas asked leaning his head against the elevator door.

"Are you kidding me? We're never having sex again" Brooke said over Peyton's muffled screaming

"One more time Peyton"

"At least we aren't having to watch"

"Ok… Good job Peyton" The voice said as Peyton screamed. Brooke was definitely sure she was never doing this now. Nothing like having to hear it…

"God… what's that baby doing to Peyton?"

"It's a Girl!"

"What are you doing?" Lucas asked watching as Brooke stood up and waited… as if something else were going to happen.

"Waiting for the door to open…"

"What? Brooke… we're stuck in here"

"It always works on 7th Heaven" Brooke sighed sitting back into Lucas's arms. This completely sucked… here they had to listen to all the crappy screaming and crying… and now they didn't even get to see the good part.

"This isn't 7th Heaven…"

"It got so quiet"

"It wont be much longer after she says the kids name is Lyric" Lucas laughed wrapping his arms around Brooke. Right now everything seemed good, it was good. At least for them. Their biggest problem was Brooke's internship and compared to all of their friends, that wasn't a real problem… that was Brooke being lucky and talented as usual. It was almost too calm as Lucas sat there with her… like the calm before a storm, and if that saying was any bit true… the storm was going to be a big one.
