Disclaimer: I do not own OTH.
I rewrote this chapter so many times because I couldn't get it to flow and I'm only semi-happy with this one so if it seems choppy I'm really sorry.
They'd sat in the tutor centre for an hour or so more before either of them spoke, Haley had stated that she had to talk to Nathan, explain everything that she'd told Brooke to him, because he deserved to hear it, Brooke agreed and said she had to head on home and drop off her stuff anyway, so after a long hug, Haley asked her to dinner and Brooke quickly accepted.
So here she was knocking on the Scott mansion door for the second time that day more than three hors after the invite, but this time instead of nerves, there was excitement.
The door swung open to reveal Nathan again, this time though, he was half naked with only a towel wrapped around his waist his hair plastered to his forehead, and a wide grin on his face, a far cry from the state he was in earlier that day.
"I totally just interrupted makeup shower sex, didn't I?"
"Hello to you too, Brooke" Nathan greets
"And judging by that grin it was hot shower sex" Brooke continues steadily.
"sadly no Haley, no sex" Nathan replies casually walking over to the fridge and pulling out a beer for himself and hands one to Brooke, before taking a sip of his own " She's doing some last minute shopping.
"You know, you could always use your hand, always works for me" Brooke replies cheekily taking as sip of her own beer.
Not expecting that reply, Nathan chokes on his beer, slapping himself on his chest a couple of times to force the beer down
"Gees Brooke warns a guy next time" Nathan says still coughing a little "when exactly was the last time you got laid Brooke?"
"Let's just say my beds in perfect condition back home"
"I never thought I'd see the day when Brooke Davis became celibate" Nathan says clearly amused.
"Please I'm no Haley James, I find other ways to get what I want" Brooke smirks
"Still the same Brooke Davis, I remember"
"You know it Nate" Brooke replies draining the rest of her beer, "you got another?" she asks
Nathan walks back over to the fridge, pulls out the whole pack, sitting it on the counter.
"Help yourself, I'm gonna get changed," Nathan says as he walks down the hall.
"don't mind if I do" she mutters taking another bottle from the pack, to be honest she missed this Nathan, she loves the Nathan he had become, Haley had changed him for the better, but she remembers how it was before Haley, Peyton and Lucas, just the two of them and..
"Brooke, Brooke, Brooke" a voice says from behind her interrupting her thoughts, spinning in her chair she gasps as she sees who the voice belongs too.
"Jake, Jake, Jake" Brooke squeals and claps her hands excitedly jumping into his arms hugging him tightly, swaying from side to side.
"what are doing here JJ" Brooke asks using an old nickname from their childhood as they pull back from their hug, but still hold onto each others arms.
"I could ask you the same question Brooklyn" Jake replies teasing her slightly, knowing how much she hates being called that, probably why Nate and himself constantly called her that when they were younger.
"For Nathan and Haley" Brooke replies softly her eyes dimming a little.
"Yeah I don't know how I'd handle it If Peyton lost our baby"
"Whoa hold the phone, Peyton's Pregnant?" Brooke asks shocked that she knew so little about her ex friend.
"Yeah eight months, she's getting really big" Jakes replies with a happy smile. "She was still making her way up the driveway when I came in"
"Jake Jageilski, you left your pregnant" at this she pauses in her scolding.
"Fiancé" Jake answers the unasked question.
"Fiancé, you left your pregnant fiancé, to waddle up the drive way by herself?"
"She was doing fine when I left her" Jake says in a weak defence.
Before Brooke can force Jake out the door, Peyton waddles through it.
"Wide Load coming through" Peyton laughs as she hobbles over to the stool to sit down. "Those driveways are a bitch" she states out of breath from her small walk.
"See fine" Jake says gaining the attention of Peyton, who was digging through a plastic bag searching for snack to satisfy her craving.
"Brooke" Peyton says nervously, trying to get up from the stool.
"Jake help her up"Brooke orders slapping him on the shoulder, before addressing Peyton "How you doing P.Sawyer"
"Well I'm struggling at the moment" she replies lightly glaring at Jake.
"Move your ASS, Jake" Brooke snaps.
"I'm going, I'm going"
"She's got you whipped man" Nathan says as he walks in laughing at Jake scrambling to help his fiancé up.
"Which one" snorts Jake lifting Peyton up from the stool kissing her on the cheek as he does so to which she smiles softly.
Watching this Brooke realises just how in love they were, and how much of the blondes life she had missed out, things had obviously changed in the past five years, Peyton had obviously changed, she thought that seeing her with Lucas would hurt so bad that all that anger from the past would come rushing back, but seeing her with Jake she just couldn't be mad at her when she was so obviously happy, and the only feeling she could muster up was happiness for her friend.
Smiling she reaches out to help steady her Blonde friend.
'You miss me P.Sawyer" Brooke asks quietly, truly wanting to know that Peyton hadn't forgotten her.
"Every day B.Davis" Peyton replies honestly.
"Then why didn't you call" Brooke asks with a hurt tone.
Peyton looks upset and glares slightly "I did Brooke, You never called me back, I called when you left, I called when I left Tree Hill and when I got back with Jake, when he proposed and when I found out I was pregnant, hell I even called last week Brooke to tell you, that I had decided to name you godmother" she admits tears welling in her eyes. " I thought that you hated me so much that you never wanted to see me again, but that didn't stop me, Because no matter what I needed you to know how sorry I am" Peyton says sincerely, by this time the boys had gone out the back and started up the Barbie, knowing the girls needed time to themselves.
"I don't understand, who did you call, I never got the messages" Brooke asks confused, she could see that Peyton was telling the truth, but didn't understand how she didn't know about them.
"Your office, the receptionist said that she would pass along the messages each time"
Brooke knew she'd have to have a word with Millicent, she had a hunch as to who stopped the messages from being passed on, but she needed proof.
"Peyton" Brooke begins softly making sure that Peyton was looking in her eyes before continuing " If I knew that you had called all these years, I would have called you back, even if it was to yell at you" she laughs. "But I had no idea, and when I find out who did this, there will be hell to pay, because no one keeps me from my P.Sawyer" Brooke promises more to herself than Peyton. "But Peyton, I do know how sorry you are, I can see It in your eyes, and I need you to know I forgave you along time ago, I just didn't know it until I seen you today"
Peyton looks at her for a moment before breaking into a grin and laughing through her tears, she tries to hug Brooke straight on but finding it slightly awkward she settles for a side hug.
"I needed to hear that, I've missed you so much Brooke"
"I missed you too Peyton" also trying to will back her tears of joy. "Now let me see this ring of yours" she says bringing her hand up to inspect it, it was a simple band with four small diamonds lined in a row, it may have been simple but it was still enough to notice the beauty.
"Oh honey it's gorgeous, it suits you"
"Aunty Brooke" Jamie shouts excitedly as he notices his godmother standing in the kitchen.
"Hey Buddy" Brooke greets bending down to pick up her godson "you been behaving?"
"Yep" he answers nodding his head "guess what Aunty Brooke"
"What?"
"Uncle Lucas is here, he's really nice, he reads to me all the time"
Before Brooke can get anything, out Jamie takes her by the hand and starts leading her out the front door.
"Where're you taking me buddy" Brooke asks puzzled
Brooke answers her own question when she notices Lucas sitting on the Tree swing Brooke had purchased four years ago for Haley, when Jamie was still seven months.
"Uncle Lucas" Jamie calls out upon approaching said uncle, his small hand still lightly holding onto Brookes pulling her along.
"Hey squirt" Lucas says turning his attention away from his laptop to face his godson, upon noticing the hand that Jamie held Lucas ran his eyes up the leather jacket clad arm to come face to face with someone he never thought he'd have the pleasure of seeing again.
"Uncle Luke, this is my godmother Brooke, she lives in New York and makes clothes for rich people"
"Sweetie your Uncle and I have already met along time ago, you know that" god Lucas had missed that voice, nobody else had the same sultry husky tone that Brooke had, and nobody else's voice could make him shiver in delight, it was a voice that was simply Brooke.
"I know, but Mama says that when I take someone to see someone else I have to greet them properly, so that's what I'm doing" Jamie says smartly before continuing "Aunty Brooke this is my godfather Lucas, he lives in Tree Hill and writes books"
Deciding to play along to please Jamie Brooke sticks her hand out "Hi Lucas Scott from tree hill I'm Brooke"
Laughing a little and accepting her hand Lucas follows suit "Hi Brooke Davis of New York, I'm Lucas"
"Nice to meet you again"
Lucas decided to use this small moment to observe Brooke completely, running his eyes up from her Red pumps, her dark blue skinny jeans, which covered her slim legs, trailing his eyes up over her toned stomach hidden only by a white tank, over her perfectly sized and shaped Breasts to which his eyes lingered for a moment longer, finally to come to a stop on her face, her plump lips slick with a shiny red gloss, her still very adorable nose, her dimples were not yet showing much to Lucas's disappointment and finishing on her hazel eyes that contained more green than brown.
"She's pretty isn't she Uncle Luke" ah the innocence of kids.
"She sure is a pretty Girl" Lucas replies softly solely focused on Brooke
Feeling awkward at the endearment Brooke pulls her hand back as if burnt; bending down to face Jamie she looks at her watch "Hey buddy, its 4.30 doesn't sesame street start now"
Jamie gasps excitedly spinning on his heel taking of towards the door before spinning round and running back up to a confused Brooke, leaning up quickly Jamie kisses his godmother's cheek "Thanks Aunty Brooke" before racing off again.
Watching him run through the door with a smile, Brooke spins around with no such smile on her face as she gazes at Lucas.
"You can not say things like that Lucas"
"Brooke it was Harmless"
"It was not harmless Lucas, that term meant everything to me, but we are no longer dating, you can't use these things to get to me anymore" Brooke says, tears pooling in her eyes
"I was not using it to get to you, Brooke"
"Then why'd you say it?" she asks running her hands through her hair
Reaching up to caress Brookes cheek Lucas sighs "Because It's true Brooke, you are a Pretty Girl" he says sincerely
Seeing Haley arrive with the shopping, Brooke sighs in relief, reaching up to grasp Lucas's hand she pulls it away from her face slowly holding his hand in both of hers squeezing it slightly.
"but I'm not your Pretty Girl, not anymore" she says quietly before dropping his hand and walking past him to help Haley with the bags, had she looked back she would've seen Lucas's face crumble.
A/N Okay so I know there wasn't really angst or anything, but I've had a bad couple of days, and needed something to take my mind of my bad mood.
I honestly have no idea where the Peyton pregnancy came from, it just came out, but this will add to Haley's recovery, not sure whether good or bad I'm not going to say, because my chapters aren't turning out how I had originally planned.
I will say that with in the next few chapters you'll see flashbacks of the years before to cover in some holes and the main focus will be Brucas.
Also I wanted Peyton and Brooke to come together I loved their friendship in season two and hate how Mark wrote in all the lies and backstabbing and I truly believe that Brooke is just that selfless that she only wants her friends to be happy including ones that have hurt her in the past.
Tell me what you thought good or bad!
