Anyywhoo…

Let's get on to the chapter…

CHAPTER 33

Lucas and Haley had comforted Brooke while she cried about how much she missed her mother and how her child would never get to meet his or her grandmother, but soon after that she had fallen asleep from sheer exhaustion.

Lucas, relieved that Brooke had gotten some of what she was feeling out, left because he didn't want to disturb her.

Haley stayed to think a little bit about the situation she was in but she decided not to dwell on that for too long and got up to leave but not before leaning toward Brooke to place a kiss on her forehead.

She pulled away and smiled. "Take care buddy."

Just as she turned towards the door it had opened to reveal her sister.

"Oh hey Tay," she greeted as she walked over to her. "Did you want time alone with Brooke?"

"Uh no that's okay…" Taylor smiled sadly. "I kinda wanted to talk to you about something."

"Okay," Haley answered confusedly. "About what?"

"Well…" Taylor started as she looked down.

---------------

Chris walked into the hospital and looked for his girlfriend.

When he spotted her with Lucas, Jake, and Nathan he smiled. "Hey guys."

They looked up from their seats and grunted their responses which made Peyton laugh as she stood up and greeted him with a quick kiss.

"Don't mind them," she said as she nodded back at the three guys who looked very unhappy and tired. "They are just grumpy because the hospital chairs are uncomfortable and they can't fall asleep correctly."

"Ah..." Chris said in understanding with a slight laugh.

"So what are you doing here?" she asked, curiously.

Chris shrugged with smirk. "Just wanted to make sure you were alright."

"Aww you're so sweet," she gushed.

Chris hissed a 'shush' at her playfully. "Don't say that, say I'm bad ass or something."

"Oh I am so sorry," Peyton said in a fake apologetic voice. "Let me revise that then: Aww you're so bad ass!"

"Why thank you, my ass is pretty awesome," he said as he checked his butt out.

"You're such a dork," she laughed.

"It's just one of the many qualities that make the girls go gah gah for me," he said with a cocky smirk.

"Yeah whatever Romeo," she said with a smile.

His smirk turned into a worried expression. "Hey so how is Brooke doing?"

"She'll be fine," she assured.

He is so cute to be worried about Brooke, he barely met her, and he was also cute to ask me if I was okay, she thought.

She really didn't understand herself.

When Felix had done the exact same thing she was uncomfortable and wanted him to be gone, but when Chris did it she swooned and got giddy.

This helped her realize that Chris was the one for her.

Now all she had to do was show that to Felix.

"Peyton?" Chris said as he broke her out of her thoughts.

"Yeah?" she said expectantly.

"You wanna go get some ice cream or something?" he asked somewhat shyly.

"I'd love to," she answered as she looped her arms through his and guided him out the hospital.

"Hey and don't worry," he started with a smile. "Chris Keller always springs for ice cream."

---------------

Felix sat in his room deep in his thought.

He really thought Peyton liked him.

Wasn't the fact that she kissed him when they met proof of it?

But she has a boyfriend, he thought bitterly.

After a moment Felix smirked evilly. If they truly loved each other then no one could come between them, not even me. I think I'm just gonna have to test them.

"This is perfect," he said out loud with a laugh. "Besides, I'm sure that boyfriend of hers wouldn't mind a little...competition."

Felix nodded to himself and stood up to walk over to his computer.

If he was going to fight this guy for Peyton then he had to know all the dirt on him.

---------------

Taylor walked into the waiting room and went straight for Jake.

"Jageilski," she called while walking towards him.

Jake stood up with a smile. "What's up?"

Taylor looked him straight in the eye before punching him, knocking him back into his seat.

"What the hell?!" he exclaimed as he held his jaw with his hand.

"That's for getting my sister pregnant," she said angrily as she walked out of the hospital in a huff.

Lucas and Nathan, who had been watching on from their seats next to Jake, had their mouths agape in complete shock of what they just witnessed and heard.

"What?!" Jake exclaimed, still holding his jaw and staring at the direction that Taylor had gone in shock.

Lucas groaned and put his head in his hands. "Not again."

Nathan stood up quickly. "I'm gonna go check on Brooke."

---------------

Nathan entered Brooke's room and saw Haley crying next to Brooke, who now was awake and wanted to know what had happened.

"Hales…" he said softly as he got another chair and pulled it up next to her.

"She is so disappointed in me," she sobbed.

"Who?" Brooke asked.

Haley spoke through her sobs, "Taylor...she said it wasn't suppose to be me…"

"That got pregnant?" Nathan asked, trying to make sense of everything.

Haley looked up in shock. "How do you know that?"

"Well she kind of…punched…Jake in the face for it," he said, wincing as Haley yelled out her response.

"What?!"

"Are you serious?" Brooke asked in shock.

"Why did she do that?" he asked in curiosity.

Haley sighed. "She's protective of me, you know? And I guess finding out that I'm pregnant just…it just ruined what she wanted for me…she wanted me to go to college and be successful. Not pregnant and...unsuccessful."

"Hey," Brooke said with a fake offended voice. "I'm gonna be successful."

Haley let out a laugh. "I'm sorry Brooke…I mean I know I can still be successful and all, it's just that Taylor doesn't see it that way."

Silence took over the room as all three of them were in deep thought until Nathan spoke.

"Hey why don't you go check on Jake?" he suggested. "You guys can talk about this and figure out what you're gonna do.

Haley nodded. "Good idea."

She stood up and headed towards the door and as soon as she walked out Nathan let out a breath. "Whoa…"

"Yeah…" Brooke agreed.

"How messed up is all this?" Nathan said. "First you get pregnant and we're the ones freaking out and now Haley and Jake…its all just really weird."

"I know," Brooke said quietly.

"But hey," he said, a smile forming on his lips. "They're gonna get through it just like we did."

"You really believe that?" she asked.

"Yeah I do," Nathan said as he scooted his chair closer to her. "You know why?"

Brooke shook her head. "Why?"

"Because they love each other just as much as we do," he said simply.

"Good point Mr. Scott," she smiled as she leaned up to kiss him.

"Why thank you…Mrs. soon to be Scott," he mumbled before accepting her kiss.

"Hey guys-" Lucas said when he opened the door but stopped short when he saw that they were in a serious make out session. "Oh…um…I'll just come back later…"

With that he was gone, and Brooke and Nathan still haven't broken apart.

----------------

"Jake?" Haley said hesitantly as she sat down next to her boyfriend, who was holding an ice pack to his jaw. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," he mumbled. "But damn, your sister could throw a mean right hook."

"I'm sorry," she said softly. "I'm sorry that she punched you and I'm sorry that you couldn't hear the news from me personally."

Jake nodded. "It's alright Haley."

"Are you okay with this?" Haley asked.

Jake, knowing what she was talking about, smiled. "Of course, I love kids."

"It must be hard having to go through this again though," she said sadly.

"It won't this time," Jake assured. "Because I didn't love Nikki like I love you, and I know you're not gonna leave or abandon this child like she did."

Haley let silent tears go down her cheeks and Jake put down the ice pack to pull her into a hug.

She just cried into his shoulder.

---------------

Taylor didn't actually leave, she was standing right outside the hospital and she couldn't bring herself to go back in.

She knew what she did was uncalled for and that Jake didn't really deserve it. But she needed to get rid of her frustration out somehow, and unfortunately punching Jake was the only thing she could think of.

"I knew you didn't leave," she heard behind her.

She smiled sadly, knowing the voice, and turned around. "Lucas…"

He saw her sullen posture and opened his arms in invitation to which she accepted.

He wrapped his arms around her torso and she put her arms around his neck as she rested her head on his chest.

"How's Jake?" she spoke softly just loud enough for Lucas to hear.

"He's fine," he answered. "He's just scared of you now."

"Tell him I'm sorry," she said. "I didn't mean to hit him."

"Why don't you tell him yourself?" Lucas suggested. "Haley is in there too, you'll have a chance to apologize to her too."

"I don't know…" she said unsurely. "What if she's mad at me?"

"I'm pretty sure she's more concerned with you being mad at her," he said.

"I wasn't mad," she disagreed, but then thought back to her actions and laughed lightly. "Okay I guess I kinda was but I'm over it now."

"Then go say that to your sister," he said. "I'm sure it'll make her very happy."

Taylor nodded against his chest before pulling away from his embrace. "Okay."

---------------

Chase walked down the street.

He knew that Chris and Peyton were together.

What surprised him the most was that he had no problem with it.

He was actually happy for his best friend.

At first he wasn't because he thought Chris would just treat Peyton like all the other girls he used to date, but then he started to see that they really did love each other. So right now he was just going to look for his best friend and his girlfriend to apologize.

But then his cell phone rang, so he dug through his pockets and looked at the caller id, which he didn't recognize.

"Hello?" he said as he held his phone to his ear confusedly.

"Is this Chase Adams?" the voice asked.

"Yes…" he answered uneasily. "Who's calling?"

"I'm Felix Tagarro. This concerns Chris Keller, Peyton Sawyer, and the break up that you are going to help me with…"

This information caused Chase to raise an interested eyebrow and smirked. "Really..."

---------------

"This totally sucks," Brooke whined from her hospital bed at Nathan who was still seated next to her with an amused expression.

"What's so bad about it?" he said with a smile.

"I'm being confined to bed for about five months!" she said wide-eyed. "That's what's bad about it."

"Well look at it this way," he said as he leaned closer to her. "It's going to be like having room service 24/7."

"Oh really?" she asked with a raised eyebrow and smirk. "Can I have a little bell?"

"My baby wants, my baby gets," he assured with a nod.

"You're sexy when you give me what I want," Brooke said as she leaned closer to him, so that their lips were almost touching.

"Oh yeah?" he said with a smirk. "Only when I give you what you want?"

He closed the gap and gave her a slow, sensual, heart-stopping kiss, and pulled away.

"Okay you are so sexy when you kiss me like that," she quickly said before pulling him by his collar for another kiss.

---------------

Taylor walked up to Jake and Haley. Lucas walked right behind her.

Haley saw Taylor coming and stood up. "Tay I'm so sorry..."

Taylor cut her off. "No Haley I'm the one who should be sorry."

"But-"

"No," Taylor said firmly. "I'm sorry I punched your boyfriend and future...baby daddy."

Haley smiled.

"Just promise me that you're not going to drop out of school or anything," Taylor pleaded.

"I promise," Haley said.

Taylor pulled her into a hug and held her protectively.

Lucas seeing this, gestured Jake to walk over to him.

When he did he pulled him into a tight hug, making Jake laugh as he patted his back. "Let me guess...beautiful moment?"

Lucas nodded against Jake's chest as he continued to hug him.
