A/N-Another chapter here, hope you enjoy this chapter. The next 7 chapters are outlined and then season one will be over. Now each story has 2 seasons so this part of the story isn't anywhere near over.


Brooke and Peyton are walking in the mall looking at all the stores, neither girl was in the mood to shop but they just wanted to spend time together. Brooke and Peyton stopped in the food court and got a smoothie and they are currently drinking it and talking.

"How was your date with Jake?" Brooke asks.

Peyton looks at her friend and smiles.

"It was pretty great actually. We walked on the beach and ate hotdogs," Peyton says with a grin.

"Did you have sex?" Brooke asks.

"No, what did Jake tell you when he came home?" Peyton asks with an eyebrow raised.

Brooke laughs and takes a sip of her smoothie.

"Nothing about that…I just don't want you to be stuck in the same situation I am," Brooke says honestly.

Peyton sighs and grabs Brooke's hand.

"You are a strong woman Brooke Davis, don't let this discourage you. I'm here and so it Lucas, Nathan, Haley, and Jake, plus there is Karen and Keith."

Brooke smiles brightly.

"This kid is going to be loved so much."

"Yeah, he or she is and it's going to have an aunt Peyton who is going to spoil he or she so much," Peyton says with a smile.

"Peyton, can I ask you a question?" Brooke asks.

"Sure."

"Do you think I am going to be my mother?" Brooke asks hesitantly.

"That's a dumb question Brooke Penelope Davis."

"Why is that?"

"Because you will never be Victoria Davis, you actually have a heart," Peyton says which makes Brooke laugh.

"Peyton, I'm glad that we are friends again. I was hurt for awhile, but I realized that sometimes life can take a drastic turn and you need your true friends by your side. I'm glad I have you Peyton."

"Same here Brooke…I guess I thought that I liked Lucas because in some ways we were a lot alike but my eyes are at someone else."

"I'm glad you have Jake, Peyton, you seem so happy."

"I am happy and Jenny is the cutest thing I have seen."

"Yeah, she's pretty great," Brooke says with a smile.

Peyton takes a sip of her smoothie and then looks at Brooke.

"I've been meaning to ask. How was your night with Jenny?"

"It was better than I thought it was going to be. Jenny was easy to handle. I just hope that mine will be like that."

"What's the difference between cheery and broody?" Peyton asks with a smile.

Brooke shrugs her shoulders and smiles.


Nathan is at the rivercourt practicing his game when his father shows up.

"Bend your knees more Nate," Dan suggests.

"Dad, leave me alone," Nathan says as he shoots the ball.

"Nathan, I came here to talk to you."

"Have you signed the divorce papers yet?" Nathan asks.

"No, why?"

"Because until you can give mom what she wants you can't talk to me."

"How are things with you and that girl?" Dan says as he walks closer to Nathan.

Nathan turns and faces his father.

"That girl's name is Haley and things are going fine."

"Don't knock her up Nathan," Dan threatens.

"Not that it's any of your business but what gives you the right to tell me what to do?" Nathan asks.

"I'm still your father and I don't want you to end up like Lucas."

Nathan shakes his head.

"As far as I am concerned, I could take a few lessons from my brother."

"Do what you want just don't become a teenage father."

"Lucas is going to be a great father because he learned from Uncle Keith. He is going to be a father, which is more than I can say for you, dad."

Dan smirks and walks away.

"I'd follow my advice if I were you Nathan. You don't want to be tied down to a child. Trust me, I know," Dan says as he walks to his car.

Nathan sighs and shoots the ball into the hoop scoring a three pointer.


Haley and Peyton are in Peyton's room. Haley is looking through a magazine and Peyton is painting her nails.

"I have a dilemma," Haley states.

"Doctor Sawyer is in the house."

"Nathan and I haven't exactly had sex and I guess my insecurities are starting to show."

Peyton sighs and looks at her friend.

"Nathan Scott used to be an ass. A year ago I would have said that you would have a problem if you weren't in a sexual relationship with him, but now, Nathan Scott isn't an ass. You changed him Haley and you changed him for the better."

"I love him Peyton but I think I'm being a tease."

Peyton laughs and stands up from her bed.

"Haley James, you are not a tease. Kissing does not make you a tease."

Peyton faces the closet and starts writing on it with her nail polish.

"My question is do I take that next step with him?"

"Haley, only you can answer that question. Brooke and Lucas thought they were ready and now Brooke is pregnant. Brooke has had a lot of sex before but it was the first time she was in love."

"So, what you are saying is that Nathan and I could be Brooke and Lucas"

"Pregnant at 16, it's a possibility."

"I always knew it could happen but I never thought it would happen to one of us," Haley states.

"I'm sure that's how Brooke and Lucas felt too."


Lucas and Brooke are sitting in Lucas' kitchen eating ice cream, Brooke had a craving.

"Is it normal for you to eat that much?" Lucas asks with a smile.

"I don't know, it's the first time I've been pregnant," Brooke says as she takes another bite of her ice cream.

"Brooke, I want to thank you," Lucas states.

"Thank me for what?"

"Being friends, even after the way I treated you."

"I forgave you awhile ago Lucas, it just hurt a lot."

"Brooke, are you still scared?" Lucas asks.

"Scared of what?" Brooke asks becoming very interested in her ice cream.

"Of becoming a parent."

Brooke looks Lucas in the eye.

"Terrified…do you think we can do this?"

"As long as we have great support system, I think we can get through anything."

Brooke takes a deep breath and sighs.

"That's good."

A few minutes pass as Lucas and Brooke continue eating ice cream.

"Brooke, are we going to tell the school?" Lucas asks.

Brooke looks up at Lucas.

"The thing about Tree Hill is that secrets don't stay secrets for long."


A/N-Tallying of the gender of the baby is that a girl is in the lead. Just thought I would like you all to know…the voting is still going on. I just would like to inform you that the baby will be born in the season finale of season one, so in about 7 chapters. My question for you readers is what aspects or storylines from Season 2 of the show would you like to see in this story? Anything can go, although I am not too sure about Haley leaving on tour, but other than that it's totally open so let me know.
