Let's get on to the chapter...

CHAPTER 22

Lucas, Taylor, and Haley were all lying down in Taylor's queen-sized bed. Taylor was lying in between Lucas and Haley.

Taylor was trying to catch up with everything that has happened.

"Whoa…" she said. "Can you repeat all of that?"

Haley rolled her eyes.

"Brooke and Nathan got engaged," she began.

"Then Brooke's house was in flames," Lucas said.

"And while she was at the hospital, Brooke found out she was pregnant," Haley said.

"Nathan did too," Lucas added.

"Then Nathan, being the stupid boy that he is, told Brooke she should get an abortion," Haley said.

"Then to make it up to her, he went out and bought a butt-load of baby stuff that were all customized with his jersey number on it," Lucas said.

"And Brooke, well…she thought what he did was sweet and forgave him," Haley concluded.

Taylor looked to Lucas. "You do know that if that was us, there would be no way in hell that I would forgive you if that was your way of apologizing."

Lucas chuckled. "I know…I would have to buy you a lifetime of Twinkies."

"Damn…" Taylor smiled, proudly. "You've uncovered my Twinkie weakness."

"Well it wasn't that hard to figure out," Lucas laughed. "Especially after the other day."

(Flashback)

"Taylor!" Lucas yelled as he entered her house.

He looked around, but he couldn't find her, so he went up to her room

He heard her giggling as he neared her door.

He was jealous and angry at first, but he knew Taylor wouldn't do that to him, so then he was confused.

He walked towards her door and slowly opened it. What he was seeing was going to stay in his memory for the rest of his life.

Taylor was on her bed, which was covered in Twinkies, and she was asleep, hugging the Twinkies that were nearest to her.

Lucas smiled as she began to speak in her sleep.

"Don't touch my Twinkies!" she grumbled as she snuggled into the ones that were in her arms.

(End of Flashback)

Lucas and Haley were laughing hysterically, and Taylor just rolled her eyes.

Why do Twinkies have to be so damn tasty? Taylor thought. With their yellow, fluffy exteriors and white, creamy fillings…mmm…

Haley stared at her sister and began to recognize the look on her face. "Uh-oh…she's fantasizing about Twinkies."

Lucas stared too as he saw the drool that was forming on his girlfriend's lip and smiled.

He couldn't believe he finally got to be with her.

(Flashback)

Lucas let Haley and Jake go back to the hospital to check on Brooke as he stayed as Haley's house.

He was sitting on the couch in the living room, as he tried to watch a movie.

Taylor walked into the house just then and walked into the living room. "Oh…hey Lucas."

Lucas turned around and smiled. "How's it going Taylor?"

"Not so good…you see this hottie promised to take me out on a date the other day, but he never showed," Taylor said with a smile

"Was that this week?" Lucas exclaimed. "Oh crap, I am so sorry."

Taylor laughed. "It's okay Luke, it is. But I will let it go completely on one condition…"

"What?" Lucas asked, slightly scared.

"You become my BF," Taylor said simply.

"Your best friend?" Lucas asked in confusion as he creased his eyebrows.

"No," Taylor smiled. "My boyfriend."

"Oh," Lucas said dumbly, but then it finally clicked. "Ohhh!"

Taylor laughed. "So what do you say?"

"I say Hell Yeah!" Lucas exclaimed happily.

(End Flashback)

Haley looked over Taylor so that she could see Lucas's face.

He was smiling like an idiot, which made Haley smile. She knew what he was thinking about, well more like, who he was thinking about.

She was glad that Lucas and Taylor got together; they deserved each other. Just like she and Jake deserved each other.

She thought Jake and Jenny were perfect. She loved them both.

Jenny has even started to speak more.

Haley smiled even more when she thought about Jenny speaking.

(Flashback)

"Jen, look at the camera baby," Jake said as he walked closer to Haley and Jenny with the video camera in hand.

"Jake put that away," Haley said with a smile as she played with Jenny, who was sitting in her lap.

"But I want to record my babies," Jake said sweetly, as he sat down next to Haley on the couch, and kept camera on her the whole time.

"Do you have to do this now?" Haley asked.

"Yup," Jake said with a huge grin.

"But Jake-" Haley began to protest.

"Jenny…" Jake started while ignoring Haley. "Who am I?"

Jenny laughed. "Daddy!"

"That's right…and who is that?" Jake asked as he pointed at Haley with his free hand.

She thought for a while then she smiled with triumph.

"Mommy!"

Haley gasped and Jake's mouth hung open.

"Oh, my god," Haley whispered.

Jake's mouth now turned into a half smile. "Wow."

"Say that again Jenny," Jake encouraged.

"Mommy!"

Haley smiled happily and so did Jake.

Jenny climbed off of Haley and began to pull her by the hand.

"Come mommy!" she exclaimed joyfully as she dragged Haley with her.

(End of Flashback)

Now Haley was smiling like an idiot and Taylor and Lucas were staring at her.

"Helloo," Taylor sang. "Earth to Haley."

Haley blinked twice and looked at Taylor. "What?"

"So how did you two find out she was pregnant?"

"Oh…um…" Haley said, then turned to Lucas with a grin. "Lucas?"

"Fine, I'll tell it," Lucas said exhaustedly. "But keep in mind, that this was not my finest moment."

(Flashback)

Lucas, Jake, and Haley walked into Nathan's house.

"Does anyone know why she called us over?" Jake asked as he sat on the couch.

"I don't," Haley said as she went to sit on Jake's lap.

"Me neither," Lucas said as he stood next to the couch.

Jake wrapped his arms around Haley's waist. "Well, where is she?"

Just then Nathan came down the stairs and stopped when he saw them. "Brooke they're here!"

He walked up to them nervously. "Brooke will be down in a minute."

He kept fiddling around with his fingers, which made Lucas suspicious.

"Why you so nervous Nate?" Lucas asked as he looked at him accusingly.

"No reason," Nathan answered then turned when he heard footsteps behind him. "Hey look it's Brooke."

Brooke smiled nervously, which made Lucas even more suspicious.

"Hey guys," she said as she walked up to them and stood next to Nathan.

"So what's going on?" Jake asked.

"Well…" Nathan said as he looked to Brooke for help.

"I'm pregnant," Brooke blurted out.

Nathan's eyes widened at her frankness, then he turned around towards his friends when he heard a big thud.

He saw Haley kneeling over Lucas, slapping his face lightly.

Jake stood up from the couch and walked over to Nathan with a serious face.

He looked at Nathan straight in the eyes.

"How could you?" Jake said in what seemed to be an angry voice. "How could you just get a girl pregnant so young? You're not ready to be a father, you're so irresponsible."

Nathan stared at Jake fearfully.

But then Jake smiled. "Relax Nate…you don't really think I mean all of that do you?"

Nathan nodded his head vigorously.

"Why would I mean that when I'm a teenage father myself," he said with a laugh.

"Oh yeah," Nathan said like an idiot.

"But you do have to face Lucas when he snaps out of it," Jake said as he nodded towards where Lucas lay mumbling.

"Pregnant? Brooke? What?" Lucas said incoherently as he began to come to.

He stared at Haley, who was sitting in front of him. "Where am I?"

"In Nathan's house," Haley explained. "Brooke had something to tell us."

"That's funny, cause I just had a dream that Brooke said she was pregnant," he laughed at it's absurdity.

Brooke knelt down in front him. "Um…well…about that Lucas…I kind of…am."

"What!" he yelled.

Lucas sat up and looked over at Nathan. "You're dead!"

Nathan's eyes widened in fear as Lucas stood up quickly and tackled him.

Lucas was about to punch him but Jake pulled him off of Nathan.

"Lucas," Jake said slowly, as he tried to get Lucas's attention off of Nathan. "Let's go have a talk."

Jake pulled Lucas into a room, leaving Haley alone with Brooke and Nathan.

"Hales," Brooke said softly.

Haley looked up at her with an unreadable expression. "Yeah?"

"You are okay with this aren't you?" she asked.

"Of course I'm okay with it," Haley said as she crawled over to Brooke and pulled her in for a hug. "I just wish it wasn't so soon Brooke."

Brooke started to cry softly.

"You're too young for this," Haley whispered. "But I am positive that you will be a great mother."

Brooke pulled away and wiped her eyes with a slight smile. "Thanks Hales."

"Anytime," she smiled back.

Nathan stood up slowly, just as Jake and Lucas walked out of the room.

Lucas walked up to Nathan.

Nathan looked at him. "Look Lucas…"

Lucas hugged Nathan.

Nathan looked down at Lucas who was hugging him tightly.

"I'm going to be an uncle," Lucas said with a happy sob.

Everyone began to laugh as Lucas started to cry.

(End of Flashback)

Haley and Taylor laughed.

"Oh…my god," Taylor said through her giggles. "You…are so hormonal."

"Seriously," Haley laughed. "First you were angry, then you got happy and started to cry?"

"It was a beautiful moment!" Lucas defended, but his words just made them laugh harder.

"Okay, okay," Taylor said still trying to hold back her laughter. "That's enough."

"Fine," Haley relented with a smile.

"Thank you," Lucas said with relief.

"So…" Taylor said. "What was going on with Peyton while all of this was going on?"

"Oh yeah," Haley remembered. "Um…well while Brooke was still in the hospital, Peyton was having boy problems."

"Felix, Chase, and Chris being the boys," Lucas added.

"Felix left since he was too embarrassed to face Peyton, so that left Chris and Chase," Haley explained.

"But since they were best friends, Peyton was too afraid to do anything about it," Lucas explained.

"But after some recent events, that she has yet to tell me, she has made her decision," Haley said.

"Who did she choose?" Taylor asked curiously.

"I don't know," Haley exclaimed. "Who do you think I am? I'm not Wonder Woman."

Taylor rolled her eyes. "Fine whatever…so how are Brooke and Nathan doing?"

"Oh they're fine," Haley answered, completely forgetting her last sentence. "But now with the baby coming, the way they're acting can make me gag."

(Flashback)

"I'm here kiddies!" Haley announced as she entered Nathan's house. "What do you need?"

"We're upstairs Haley!" she heard Brooke yell.

Haley went up the stairs, looked at the doors, and rolled her eyes.

"Which room are you guys in?" she yelled.

Brooke stuck her head out of a room with a smile.

"In here sweetheart," Brooke said with a fake English accent.

Haley went towards the room and walked in. "Whoa…"

The room was decorated perfectly for a baby.

It had a crib, teddy bears, and baby toys scattered all over the place.

"Isn't it great?" Brooke squealed.

"Yeah," Haley agreed. "But why are you finishing it so early?"

"Brooke wanted to get her mind off of her house getting burned down, so she wanted to fix the room up," Nathan explained.

"And Nathan put the crib up all by himself," Brooke cooed at him as she walked over to give him a kiss.

"I know I'm great," Nathan said conceitedly as put an arm over Brooke's shoulders.

"Riiight," Haley said slowly. "So what did you need?"

"Oh nothing, we just wanted to show you the room," Brooke waved her off and kept her eyes on Nathan with a smile.

"It couldn't have waited until tomorrow?" Haley said disbelievingly. "I was hanging out with Jake."

Brooke ignored her and started to give Nathan little kisses that began to intensify.

"Guys!" Haley exclaimed. "Okay, Ew."

With that Haley ran out of the room.

(End of Flashback)

Haley shuddered at the memory.

"Maybe it was the hormones?" Taylor said helpfully.

"It's always the hormones," Haley muttered.

Lucas looked over at Taylor at wiggled in eyebrows in suggestion.

Taylor smirked and pulled Lucas in for a kiss.

Haley looked on in horror. "You guys stop it!"

Taylor pulled away with a laugh. "You're so touchy."

"No," Haley disagreed. "You people are the ones who are touchy."

Taylor shook her head with a smile.

"So is that everything that I missed?" Taylor asked after a while.

"Pretty much," Lucas said with a nod.

"Damn a lot happens in two months," Taylor said in awe.

"Yeah," Haley mumbled, but then looked around when she heard her cell phone ringing.

She picked it up from the drawer next to her and answered. "Hello? Oh hey…just at my house with Lucas and my sister…sure…really?…okay…bye."

Haley hung up and looked up at her sister and Lucas. "It was Peyton, she said she was coming over and bringing her boyfriend."

"She still failed to mention who it was?" Lucas said as he stood up from the bed.

"No, she mentioned who it was," Haley said with a smile as she walked towards the door.

"Well who is it?" Taylor asked as she crawled off the bed.

"Peyton told me not to say," Haley said with a grin. "It's a surprise."

"Like we need anymore surprises," Lucas grumbled as he walked towards the door.

"Don't worry Luke," Taylor said as she walked towards him and patted him on the back. "I'll be here to console you if you start to cry."

"Ha, ha," Lucas said dryly.

Haley laughed with Taylor, but stopped when the doorbell rang.

Let the surprising begin.
