OKay this is just Brooke's side fo the story. Lucas and the drew will be coming into the story in the next chapter. I just wanted to show you how close Brooke and Jamie and Haley were because it's going to be a real staple to this story. I am going to warn you though because the next chapter is going to be very confusing because I am introducing several different characters.

It was hot and clammy in the small house. And she couldn't concentrate on her reading with the whimpers of a small boy coming from the corner. She put her long brown hair into a ponytail holder messily on her head and threw her book down. It was obvious she wasn't going to get any reading done. She walked over to where the little boy was lying in his crib and looked down at him.

"Aunt Book!" He called as he held out his arms for her to pick him up. She smiled and picked up the little boy and hugged him tightly to her chest nuzzling her face into his spiky blonde hair.

"Hey buddy. What happen you can't sleep?" Brooke Davis asked the little boy as she moved him away from her chest and looked into his deep blue eyes.

"I wad a wightmare." He said as he nodded his head and looked up at her with scared eyes as if the nightmare were coming true.

"A nightmare? What happened? They didn't hurt my bunny did they?" Brooke asked, as she faked shocked and gasped.

"Twe wonters wanted to wet me." Jamie said as he took a piece of Brooke's hair that was hanging loosely out of the ponytail and he twirled it with his small finger.

"Oh no! Well they didn't get you because I would have hurt them badly. No one can get a hold of my bunny bear." Brooke said as she tapped his nose with her finger and smiled down at him.

"I wuv you aunt Book." Jamie said as he let a laugh escape his lips.

"I love you to baby boy." Brooke sighed and kissed the young boy's forehead. He snuggled up against he shoulder and closed his eyes. She walked with him toward the couch and laid down on it. She picked up her book and began to read again when a slamming door interrupted her. She first looked down to see if Jamie was still sleeping and when she was sure he was she looked toward the door to see her best friend and god sister Haley and her husband Nathan standing there. Haley was glaring at a confused looking Nathan.

"You just had to do that right!" Haley yelled at her husband angrily as she put her hands on her hips and stared at him.

"I'm sorry. What was I supposed to say?" Nathan asked as he looked at Haley if she were crazy. He knew not to take it personal and it was just her hormones from being seven months pregnant.

"Umm…anything but I don't think it's a good idea man." Haley said doing her best impression of Nathan. Brooke stifled her laughter at this. Haley had been blowing up at Nathan every night for the last two months over the smallest things.

"It was the first thing that came out of my mouth." Nathan said as he shook his head at Haley and started towards their bedroom.

"Yeah well keep your mouth shut from now on!" Haley shouted after Nathan as he closed the door to the bedroom quietly.

"What was that about?" Brooke laughed as she got up from the couch and laid the sleeping Jamie in his crib making sure not to wake him up.

"Lucas." Haley answered with a sigh. She saw Brooke tense up and she knew it was a sore subject for Brooke had not yet gotten over the whole Lucas fiasco.

"He's back in town, right?" Brooke asked as she stood up and started off towards the kitchen to get something to drink.

"Yeah he came back today you know that. And you make it sound like he went to a different state or something. He went to war Brooke." Haley said as she followed Brooke into the kitchen and watched her friend shuffle around for a cup.

"What am I supposed to act like Hales? You know what happened." Brooke said with a sigh as she turned toward Haley.

"Yeah I know what happened and I think he was a complete jackass for what he did but still he loved you and he still does." Haley said again Brooke tensed up but she shook it off just as quickly as it had come.

"And I love him Hales. But it's just too much to get over. Too much to forgive." Brooke said shaking her head and turned back toward the counter.

"Second shelf. And I just wish this whole thing would be over between you guys. He asked for you I hope you know." Haley said as she placed her hands back on her hips and looked at her friend helplessly.

"Well I hope you told him not to worry." Brooke said sadly as she reached on the second shelf for the cup she was so desperately looking for.

"How was Jamie today?" Haley asked changing the subject. She knew that if she went to long with this subject it would only start an argument.

"An absolute angel." Brooke answered as she smiled at the mention of her godson's name.

"Really? And that wouldn't happen to be because you bribed him with ice cream before bed to go to sleep again would it?" Haley asked a smile cracking on her face.

"Again? Now Haley James-Scott what on earth are you talking about?" Brooke asked feigning innocence as she looked over at Haley with fake surprise.

"I'm talking about how I had to stay up with him half the night the other day because he wanted the ice cream aunt Brooke promised him." Haley said as she gave Brooke a knowing look.

"Well then I'm just going to have to teach him how to keep him mouth shut. Now aren't I?" Brooke asked as she poured herself some water in her cup and turned toward Haley.

"No you are not going to teach my son to lie. I don't allow lying under my roof." Haley protested as she shook her head vigorously around and glared at Brooke.

"Whatever dork." Brooke said as she rolled her eyes at Haley.

"So are you going to the dinner tonight?" Haley asked changing the subject to one she needed to know.

"Dinner?" Brooke asked looking at Haley confused.

"Yeah you know the fancy one. The one where we welcome all of our troops home." Haley said as she looked at Brooke densely. Brooke knew exactly what dinner she was talking about.

"Oh the Troops Dinner. Yeah I'm going to go. I can't miss out on seeing Jam and T-ball." Brooke said with a smile as she used Jamal and Tommy's nicknames she had made up when they were in school.

"You know if you keep calling him Jam he's going to get mad at you." Haley said with a smirk on her face as she remembered the countless times when Jamal and Brooke would get into an argument over his nickname.

"Oh, he'll get over it. He always does." Brooke said waving it away and rolling her eyes at him.

"If you say so. But the dinner starts tonight at 7:30 but we have and don't forget to wear one of your skank dresses there's going to be dancing." Haley told Brooke as she left the kitchen to take a small nap before the night. Brooke let out a small laugh and shook her head. Tonight she was going to have to face him once and for all.
