Here it is everybody... chapter 35! I hope you like it!

Peyton POV

"So... you guys hungry?" Mercedes asked putting her pencil down.

"Starving!" Brooke said looking up from her laptop, where she was finishing her English paper.

"Ok. How about the rest of you?" She asked as she got up and looked at Haley and Lucas, who were sitting on the couch.

They shook their heads and so did Nathan and I.

"Alright. Well... I'm gonna go pick up a pizza." She said putting her jacket on.

"I'll go with you." Nathan said putting his pencil down.

"No!" Brooke said suddenly. "I mean... you're almost done with you homework anyways. What's the point of getting up now?" She said nervously.

"It's ok Brooke it won't take long." Nathan said getting up.

"Nah, you should stay babe." Mercedes said putting her arms around his neck. "I'll be back soon. You stay here and finish your homework." She said placing a small kiss on his lips.

I think they make one of the cutest couples ever.

"Ok. I'll finish my homework." He said kissing her again.

"Good."

I saw her whisper something into his ear and his eyes went wide and he broke into the biggest smile I think I've ever seen on his face. This, to my surprise made me smile to myself. Who knew what she said to him to make him so happy. Only they know.. Kids theses days. Mercedes left and grabbed her keys off the table.

"Ok, you guys... I think we need to have a group meeting." Brooke said after she was sure Mercedes wouldn't be coming back.

Haley and Lucas joined us at the table and sat in their seats.

"What's going on Brooke?" Nathan asked.

"I got a call from Q earlier." Brooke answered excited.

"And?" I asked trying to get her to continue.

"Well... it turns out that him and D planned a massive blowout for her birthday on Saturday after her photo shoot. And when I say massive, I'm talking everyone you could possible think of. Here..." She pulled out a pink folder and handed it to Haley. "Take a look at the guest list. Q sent it to me earlier." Haley pulled the packet out of the folder and flipped through it.

"This is like... 400 people!" She said in astonishment.

She handed the packet to me and I too noticed that the list seemed to go on and on forever.

"I know. Anyone who's anyone will be at this party."

"Damn!" Nathan said once he had the packet. "50 Cent! Tony Yayo! Are you kidding me! She knows all these people!"

"Yeah. Not only does she know them.. But there all good friends." Brooke said proudly.

"The Perishers! Story Of The Year! Theses are really great bands." Lucas said looking at me.

"Yes, but did you happen to notice who's at the top of the list?" Brooke asked as Lucas turned to the front page.

"Umm... you, Nathan, Peyton, me, Haley, Jake, It's all of us."

"I know. We're VIP. VIP get's the special treatment. You'll see. I when to my fair share of Hollywood parties with her. She was always on the VIP list. They treat you like royalty. You guys are gonna love it."

"So... why shouldn't she know about it?" I asked turning to look at her.

"They want it to be a surprise for her. She's had a lot of ups and downs this year. This will defiantly cheer her up. But.. Anyway... Q asked me if us three girls would pick a few things for the ladies gift bags. Same to you boys."

"Sure." We all answered in unison.

"OK, we'll get started on the tomorrow."

Just as we were about to continue our conversation Mercedes walked in the door with a pizza in her hand.

"We'll talk later." Brooke whispered as she slipped the guest list back into the folder and into her backpack.

"That was quick." Nathan said as she set the pizza on the table.

"Yeah well... I have my ways." She said kissing him hello.

Mercedes POV

After everyone started serving themselves there was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it." I said getting up from Nathan's lap.

I walked over to the door and looked through the peephole. I smiled to myself when I saw Jake, only I didn't see Jenny with him.

I opened the door to see Jake and Jenny in her car seat next to him.

"Hey Jake. Come on in." I said as I stepped aside and let him inside.

He came in and followed me into the kitchen to where everyone had moved.

"Who's got you babysitting man?" Nathan said as he came in and saw Jenny in his arms.

"Actually... she's my daughter."

"She's you're what?" Brooke asked confused.

"My daughter." He answered again taking Jenny from her car seat. "Guys this is Jenny."

I walked over to him and took Jenny into my arms.

"Jake... are you serious?" Brooke asked dumbfounded.

"Why would I be kidding Brooke?"

"I don't know... I mean... you have a daughter. That's pretty big news."

While Brooke talked toJake, Peyton walked over to me and smiled.

"Can I hold her?" Peyton asked smiling down at Jenny.

"Yeah." I said handing her to Peyton.

Us girls gathered around Peyton and Jenny while the guys had a side conversation with Jake. I looked over st him and he locked eyes with me for a second. I winked to him and he winked back. After a conversation with all of us about his relationship with Jenny's mother, which he didn't say much about, except for that fact that she had left Jenny and that she had no part in their lives... We all sat in the living room admiring the baby and her father.

"That's gotta be hard." Peyton said touching Jake's arm.

He looked at her in surprise and smiled at her. I sat down next to Nathan with Jenny in my arms.

"So, your coming with us to LA." Nathan said bringing up the fact this was new information to him.

"Yeah, my mom agreed to take care of Jenny for the weekend." Jake answered

"Are you sure this is going to be ok?" Haley asked Mercedes concerned.

"What do you mean?" She said slowly taking the bottle out of Jenny's mouth.

"I mean... it's a lot of money."

"Please. This is all pocket change to her." Brooke answered before Mercedes could open her mouth.

"Thanks Brooke." Mercedes answered sarcastically.

"What?"She said innocently. "I was just telling the truth. You should tell them just how much money you actually have." She asked looking at her perfectly manicured nails.

"Brooke... can we please not bring that up."

"I think you should tell them the story."

"Here.." Jake said getting up. "Let me take her." He tookthe sleeping baby from my arms and placed her in her chair.

I snuggled closer to Nathan and smiled at him while he put his arm around my shoulders.

"Come on Z. Will you just tell them?" Brooke said urging me.

I gave her a death glare and relaxed when Nathan kissed my head.

"Tell me a story babe." Nathan whispered into my ear.

"Fine." I answered pointing at Brooke. "But... don't ever ask me for anything again Brooke. Ever." I said warningly.

"I promise I won't ask." Brooke said crossing her fingers.
