A/N- I know it's been about a month since my last update and I apologize for that. I hope this chapter was worth the wait. I really loved how this turned out.

Brooke walks into her house after spending the night at Lucas'. They were getting the hang of being friends even in their awkward situation with Brooke carrying Lucas' baby, but they were trying and both Brooke and Lucas was glad because of it.

Brooke walks into her living room and is shocked to see her mother Victoria Davis sitting in the living room.

"Mom, what are you doing here?"

Victoria looks at her daughter with a raised eye brow.

"I live here and where were you?"

"At Lucas'," Brooke whispers.

"Brooke, you can do better than that boy. For the love of god do you see the way he lives? He doesn't even have a father. Just don't get pregnant because that will screw everything up for you," Victoria says before walking out of the room.

Brooke slowly sits down on the couch.

"Before I get pregnant, that's a little too late."

Lucas walks into the kitchen and grabs a bottle of water. Karen walks in later and sits down next to her son.

"Are you happy?" Lucas asks his mom.

"I love your uncle Keith. I am really happy," Karen says with a smile, "Are you happy?"

"Would it be wrong to say that I was?" Lucas asks.

"Of course not."

"I'm scared to become a father during my junior year, but then I am also happy that I am going to be a father. Does that make any sense?"

"When I first found out that I was pregnant. I was scared like really scared, but after I got used to the idea I realized that despite the circumstances I was happy that you were going to be in my life no matter who fathered you. When you hold your baby for the first time it makes what you are going through now worth it."

Lucas smiles at his mom and then hugs her.

"I'm really glad you are here for me. I don't know what I do without. Most parents wouldn't be there, but I am glad you are."

"Lucas, I am going to be a grandma. I maybe too young to be that, but that child will be family."

Brooke walks into Lucas' kitchen with tears in her eyes.

"Lucas I need to talk to you," Brooke says as she sits down in the chair across from Lucas.

"I'll let you two talk," Karen says before exiting the kitchen.

"Pretty girl, what is wrong? Is it the baby?" Lucas asks with concern.

"No, my mom is home…Lucas, what am I going to tell her? She doesn't even like you. God I am so screwed," Brooke says as she lets the tears fall.

Lucas walks over to Brooke and kneels in front of her and uses the pad of his thumbs to wipe the tears from Brooke's face.

"Look at me I'm a mess," Brooke states.

"It's the hormones Brooke, it will be okay. You have to tell your mom though."

"I know," Brooke whispers.

"Do you want me to come with you?" Lucas asks.

"No, I have to do this myself otherwise I will never face my mother."

Nathan walks into Karen's Café and sees Haley closing up.

"Hey Hales," Nathan says as he sits down at the counter.

"What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to keep you company while you closed up," Nathan says with a smile.

"No you didn't. You knew that this was the time when I sang."

Nathan smirks at Haley and hugs her.

"Sing for me Haley, please," Nathan begs.

Haley takes a deep breath.

"Fine, but I have to finish closing first," Haley says as she flips the sign on the door and locks it.

Haley walks over to the piano and sits down in front of it. Haley starts playing and singing. Nathan has a smile on his face.

I love the time and in between
The calm inside me
In the space where I can breathe
I believe there is a
Distance I have wandered
To touch upon the years of
Reaching out and reaching in
Holding out holding in

I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it as long as I can be
Left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand

I know this love is passing time
Passing through like liquid
I am drunk in my desire
But I love the way you smile at me
I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near
I believe

Brooke walks into the living room where she sees her mother sitting on the couch drinking scotch.

"Mom, I have to tell you something," Brooke says as she sits down across from her mother.

"Well what is it I don't have a lot of time?" Victoria says with a snarl.

I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand

"I'm pregnant…it's Lucas' and I'm keeping the baby," Brooke says as she looks her mother in the eye.

"The hell you are. Brooke Penelope Davis you are getting rid of that thing," Victoria says as she points to her daughter's stomach.

"It's too late for that. Why can't you just let me live my life? This is what I want," Brooke says with tears in her eyes.

Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
The mold that clings like desperation
Mother can't you see I've got
To live my life the way I feel is right for me
Might not be right for you but it's right for me
I believe

Victoria stands up and grabs Brooke by the arm.

"Get out of my house. You want to throw your life away, I won't stand here and watch," Victoria says angrily.

"YOU ARE NEVER HERE!" Brooke yells.

"No, you aren't either. GET OUT!" Victoria yells.

Brooke wipes the tears from her eyes and runs out of her house.

Brooke knocks on Lucas' door and Karen answers it.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Karen asks as she brings Brooke in for a hug.

"I told my mom and she threw me out. Karen I have nowhere to go," Brooke cries into Karen's shoulder.

Keith and Lucas look at the scene in front of them. Lucas walks over to Brooke and opens up his arms. Brooke walks closer to him and she cries harder.

"Brooke, you can stay here with us. We'd be happy to have you," Keith says as he walks closer to his fiancé.

"Thank-you," Brooke states quietly after the crying subsided.

I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand it

I would like to linger here in silence
If I choose to
Would you understand it
Would you try to understand

A/N-I never realized how difficult it was to outline a story. When I first started this story I had said that the story would be long, but I am coming to realize that it won't be the case. It will be shorter, but with plenty of drama. I need aspects of Season 2 that you guys liked in OTH so that I can plan the outline. Let me know what you guys liked so I can add it. Review please.
