Chapter 21
Hush Little Baby
It was the next day, Brooke and Lucas didn't have any plans, but they were soon getting plans thanks to Peyton...
"Wow, Peyton that's great." Brooke said. Peyton had just told her about an art museum in New York that wants to look at some of her stuff. Her professor talked to the people there and she had to go as soon as possible. "When do you leave?"
"I have to go today, they said as soon as possible." Peyton explained. "But there's one thing."
"What?" Brooke asked.
"I can't take Jenny, where would I leave her?" Peyton said, pointing to Jenny who was playing with Braden.
"Ok, Peyton, I think I know what your getting at." Brooke said, laughing.
"Would you?" Peyton asked, desperately.
"Of course, P. Sawyer, I've always wanted a little girl." Brooke said, excitedly.
"Thanks so much, I'll bring her stuff over tonight." Peyton said, hugging Brooke.
"No problem, it'll be fun." Brooke said.

That night everybody was at Brooke and Lucas' to say good-bye to Peyton.
"Jenny, you have to be a good girl when mommy's gone, ok?" Peyton said, hugging and kissing Jenny good-bye.
"I wiw, me and Aunty Bwooke arwe gunna have a lots of fun!" Jenny said, excitedly, jumping into Brooke's arms. "And me and Uncwe Lucas arwe gunna play basetball!"
"Well, you have fun." Peyton said, laughing at her daughter's excitement. "Bye everybody, I'll be back on Saturday." She quickley hugged everybody and left because she had a flight to catch.
"Ok Jenny, you have to go to bed now, it's getting late." Brooke said.
"Awww, fine, then tomowow we arwe gunna do fun stuff?" she asked, curiously.
"Yea, of course, sweetie." Brooke said, dropping her on the little bed that Brooke had for Jenny in the spare bedroom. "Goodnight, babe."
"Gwoodnight Aunty." Jenny said, as she turned over and shut her eyes.
Brooke went into the living room where Haley and Nathan were leaving. She said good-bye and then plopped down on the couch with Luke. "I'm so excited to get to have a girl for 2 days."
"Me too actually." Lucas said, turning on the movie they were going to watch.
"Oh yea, I'll give you a little girl someday." Brooke said, smiling at him.
"Oh really?" Lucas asked, laughing at her. "Brooke Davis wants more kids?"
"Well, it's not as hard as I thought, you fall in love with the little guys and get so attached. Someday I want another one, Braden needs a brother or sister so he doesn't get to spoiled." Brooke explained, sarcastically. "But maybe he'll be like you, you were like an only child and you turned out pretty damn good."
"I know." Lucas said, proudly. He kissed her then they began to watch their movie again.

At Haley and Nathan's they were trying to get Gabby to go to sleep, but it wasn't working out to well.
"Please, baby, just go to sleep." Haley said, impaitently, she was almost crying herself.
"You can go to sleep if you want." Nathan said, massaging her shoulders.
"No, I'm not leaving you with the devil alone again, that's not fair, I would feel bad." she said.
"Fine." Nathan said, simply.
Gabby continued to cry, but it seemed like it was getting louder.
Haley rocked her more. "Gabriella Ann, come on, please go to sleep." Haley said, angrily. She was getting really stressed out by the looks of it.
"Hey, don't get mad at her, you have to be kind, she can tell your angry and it's upseting her." Nathan explained, he was acting like he new what he was talking about.
"And why do you know all of this?" Haley asked, confused.
"I've been reading the books." Nathan said laughing at the fact that he would do something like that. If somebody would have told him he would have a baby at 19, then know what to do when it cried, he would've just laughed.
"Awww, that's so cute." Haley said, sarcastically.
"Hey, at least I know what I'm doing." he said, defending himself. "And I know what you could do to calm her down."
"And what's that?" Haley asked, intrigued.
"You can sing to her." Nathan said, smiling. "You haven't sang for a long time."
"Sure." she said, happily.
Haley sat down in the rocking chair with Gabby in her arms and rocked her and sang to her...
Hush,
little baby, don't say a word.
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
Nathan watched her sing to Gabby and was totally zoned in on it, he loved it so much when she sang, he just wish that she would do it more often. He didn't understand why she wouldn't sing more.
And if
that mockingbird won't sing,
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond
ring
And if that diamond ring turns brass...
"Hey, Nathan, look at that, I got her to go to smile!" Haley said excitedly, making Nathan come and see.
"That's so cute." he said.
As they watched her she drifted of to sleep. Nathan took her and put her in the crib and they went to bed as well.

The next day was pretty easy. It was a nice day outside for March so Brooke and Haley took Jenny to the park and the guys stayed at their houses getting ready for practise that night and watching the babies.
"Brooke, the greatest thing happened last night. "Haley started to explain as they sat on a bench and watched Jenny go on all the slides and play centres. "Me and Nathan were trying to get Gabby to go to sleep, so I sang to her, it was the most rewarding thing ever. She's such a handful, but when I made her smile, for the first time...words can't even explain the feeling."
"I can't wait till Braden smiles." Brooke said. "He's probably going to have a smile like Luke's, awwwww, it's going to be soooo cute!"
"Yea." Haley agreed.
"So, Haley Scott singing, that's a surprise." Broke said, and it wasn't even sarcastically.
"Brooke." Haley said, annoyed.
"Well, Haley, you never sing anymore." Brooke said, whining.
"I just...I don't feel like I should be aloud to." Haley said, ashamed. Ever since she went on tour with Chris, she felt bad, so she just stopped singing all together. Her and Nathan talked about it once at Tric when Haley was performing for the cancer benefit thing, but they got into a fight about it, again.
"I thought you and Nathan talked about that?" Brooke asked, confused.
"We did, but we got into a fight about it again and then we didn't talk about the fight after that and it just kind of got forgotten about, so I have some left over issues, let's just say." she explained.
"You should talk to him about it. We need your voice back, girly." Brooke said, sympathetically.

That night the guys went to their practise, it was a lot harder then the last one, but they had to expect that. Haley stayed home with Gabby, since she was able to get her to stop crying now, and Brooke was home with Braden and Jenny, of course.
They ate supper and Brooke put Braden to bed and Jenny watched a movie, 'The Little Mermaid'. After it was over Brooke bathed her and put her to bed. Brooke was having the greatest time watching Jenny she loved having a girl. She couldn't say it enough. You couldn't do a boys hair, so she loved that part. If her and Lucas had a girl next, Lucas could play basketball him Braden and Brooke could get to take the girl to dance and all that fun stuff that Brooke never got to do with her mom. She hadn't even spoken to her mom since graduation, she sent pictures of Braden by e-mail, but it wasn't the same. Lucas just told Brooke that it was her loss and not to worry about it.
When Lucas got home him and Brooke talked more about another baby.
"Lucas I can't believe we are even thinking about this." Brooke said, nervously.
"I know, but it doesn't have to be soon." Lucas said. "When ever your ready."
"Yea, I think we should think about this for a couple months before we do anything crazy." she said, responsibly. Lucas was very proud of the responsible mother Brooke had become.
"Yunno, it's actually very sexy seeing you so responsible." Lucas said, smiling.
"Really?" Brooke said. Lucas started kissing her neck. "Hey, just remember I'm not getting pregnant anytime soon."
"Good thing your being responsible then, huh?" Lucas said, continuing to kiss her neck.
"Uh huh." Brooke said, starting to kiss his lips.

Peyton was coming home and Jenny was excited, she loved staying with Brooke and Lucas, but she wanted to see her mom.
"Jenny, what are you doing?" Brooke asked, confused. She was climbing a chair in the kitchen.
"I wanna watch out da window to see when my mommy is comin." Jenny said, annoyed. "Otay?"
Brooke just laughed. "Ok, go for it."
About 20 minutes later Peyton pulled into the driveway and Jenny started yelling.
"Auntwy Bwooke!" she yelled, excitedly. "My mom is hwere!"
"Is she." Brooke said, putting down Braden and coming to the window with Jenny.
"Yea, look!" she yelled, pointing to Peyton who was walking up the stairs.
"Well, go open the door for her." Brooke said, laughing.
"Otay!" Jenny yelled, running to the door. She opened the door and jumped into Peyton's arms, almost knocking her over. "Hi, mommy, I missed you!"
"Hey baby, I missed you too!" Peyton said hugging her back.
"Was she good?" Peyton asked Brooke.
"Yea, she was really good." Brooke said.
"Ok, Jenny you go play with your toys, mommy has to talk to Aunty." Peyton said, putting her down.
"Why?" Jenny asked, curiously.
"Because I have to,just go play." she said, patting Jenny on the bum to make her go.
"Ugh, fine!" Jenny said, running out of the room.
"What do you have to talk to me about?" Brooke asked, gesturing them to sit down at the table.
"Ok, I have a big problem and I need your opinion." Peyton said, seriously.
"Ok, what is it, Peyt?" Brooke asked, concerned.
"The people at the museum really liked my stuff." she began.
"Yea." Brooke said, drinking her water.
"They want me to move there and work there and bring my stuff in and do showcases and its a really good job but i don't know what to do Brooke help me!" Peyton blurted out.
The water burst out of Brooke's mouth and went everywhere. "What?"
"I said-"
"No, I know what you said, Peyton, it's just...that's big." Broke said.
"I know, I have Jenny to worry about and her grandparents, they might not want their 3 year old grand-daughter in New York."
"So, you are considering this?" Brooke asked, curiously.
"Uh, yea...should I not consider it?" Peyton asked, confused now.
"No, yes you should consider it, it's ust I don't know what I will do if you go." Brooke said, tearing up.
"Aww, Brooke, don't worry, your my best friend and that will never change." Peyton said, putting her hand on Brooke's.
"I know." Brooke said, hugging Peyton. "So, do you think you will go?"
"I think so, Brooke." she said, sadly. "It's a high paying job, it would be best for me and Jenny."
