1 Month Later
It's been a month since Brooke had come to a decision about keeping the baby that is slowly growing inside of her. In the end she did decide to keep it. There is only a small amount of people that know about the baby but Brooke doesn't care about that right now. Lately, though, Brooke and Haley have been talking and hanging out.
Brooke is sitting at a table in Karen's Café when Haley sits down next to her.
"Hello, Brooke," Haley says with a smile.
"Hey, tutor-girl."
"How are you feeling?" Haley asks with concern.
Brooke looks at Haley and sighs.
"Morning sickness sucks but it's the price you pay when you're having a baby."
Haley smiles at Brooke sadly.
"So, how are things with Peyton?"
"Getting better…I just think I'm past all the drama you know? Plus she has Jake so that's great."
"You know Brooke? You could have yourself some Lucas," Haley says with a smile.
"Nope, we're just having baby together…as teenagers…god I've become a statistic."
"Do you want anything to drink?" Haley asks.
"Water please," Brooke says with a smile.
"I'll be right back."
Peyton and Jake were sitting on Jake's couch and listening to Jenny playing with her toys. Peyton was smiling and Jake turned and looked at her.
"Peyton Sawyer, would you like to go on a date with me?" Jake asks.
Peyton smiles at Jake and laughs.
"So, now you ask me out."
"Yes, now I'm asking you out, so will you go on a date with me?" Jake says with a smile.
"I would love too, but what about Jenny…your parents are gone, who is going to watch her?" Peyton asks.
"I've got it covered…I asked Brooke if she could watch her and she said yes, that it would give her practice."
"Then let's go on a date Jake Jagielski," Peyton says with a smile.
Peyton leans in and kisses Jake, but were soon by Jenny.
"Dada," Jenny says while clapping her hands.
Jake and Peyton laugh and Jake walks over to Jenny and picks her up.
"That's right baby girl, dada."
Peyton watches on with a smile.
Keith, Karen and Lucas are sitting in the family room in silence. Lucas looks around the room and decided to start talking.
"Mom, why did you want to talk?" Lucas asks.
"Because Lucas, you are becoming a father."
Lucas smiles at his mom.
"I know that mom, like I told Brooke. I'm going to be there for her…every appointment, when she's sick, for everything."
"I'm glad Luke, that's noble of you," Keith states.
"No, it's the right thing to do…I always swore to myself that I would be a better father than Dan and no matter what I am going to be there for my daughter or my son…I'll be there for every game or dance recital…school talent show…for their wedding…I'm going to be there."
Karen walks over to Lucas and hugs him tightly.
"You, my boy are a great man and I am proud of you."
"We both are Lucas," Keith states with a smile.
"I'm still scared though," Lucas states.
"It won't ever go away Lucas, parenthood will scare you," Karen says with a smile. "But you will be able to do it because I believe in you."
"Lucas, you are better than Dan believe that," Keith states.
"I know and part of that is because of you Keith. You showed me how to be a father and I just hope that I can be half the man that you are."
"You're already there Luke."
Haley sits down next to Brooke after her shift had ended and now they are talking about more interesting things.
"Brooke, do you believe in love?" Haley asks.
"Yes, I do, absolutely. The time that I was with Lucas, made me so happy and because of that I have a human being growing inside of me," Brooke states with a smile.
"I think I love Nathan," Haley blurts out.
Brooke looks up at Haley and smiles a knowing smile.
"I know," Brooke states.
"Is it that obvious?" Haley says sheepishly.
"Kind of…look Hales…if you love Nathan you should tell him."
"I'm scared though."
"Love is a scary thing Haley James, but it is worth it."
"I hope so…So, you got any plans for tonight?"
Brooke looks up at Haley and smiles.
"I'm sitting for Jake tonight so he and Peyton can go on a date."
"Getting the practice in huh?"
"Yep, got to get it somewhere," Brooke states.
Brooke knocks on Jake's door and he answers.
"It's good to see you Brooke, come on in."
"Thanks for this Jake," Brooke states as she walks further into the house.
"Alright, so important numbers on the fridge…I'm not sure how long I will be. Everything that Jenny needs are in the bag over there…feel free to help yourself in the fridge."
Jake hands over Jenny and Brooke takes her in her arms.
"Bye Jake…treat my friend right, you hear?"
"I will Brooke…bye baby girl," Jake says as he kisses his daughter's forehead.
Jake walks out and leaves Brooke and Jenny to fend for themselves.
"Okay baby girl, it's just me and your Aunt Brooke."
Jenny looks up at Brooke and smiles.
"Book," Jenny says while clapping her hands.
"Yeah, your Aunt Brooke," Brooke says with a laugh.
Nathan and Haley are sitting in Nathan's apartment watching a movie. Haley looks over at Nathan and smiles. She reaches for the remote and pauses it.
"Haley, what are you doing?" Nathan asks as he turns to face her.
"I have to tell you something…spending time with you is fun and we have grown as a couple and I really love that…I guess what I am trying to say is that I love you Nathan Scott."
Nathan looks at Haley and smiles.
"I love you, too, Haley James," Nathan says as he leans in and kisses his girlfriend.
Jake walks Peyton to her door after their date.
"So, I didn't know that when you meant date that we were going to take a walk on the beach and then stop at a hotdog stand."
Jake laughs at Peyton.
"Well, I was going for simple…is that bad?"
"No, it was perfect…thanks Jake," Peyton says with a smile.
"I'm going to kiss you goodnight," Jake states.
"Well I hope you do," Peyton says with a smirk.
Jake leans in and kisses Peyton.
Brooke watches Jenny sleeping in her crib. Brooke puts her hands on her stomach.
"I hope I'm suited for this kiddo."
A/N-As for whether or not Brucas should have a boy or girl…I have to tell you that it is currently tied so please let me know what you would think and if you have baby names that would be helpful as well…REVIEW…
