Ok, so here it is, chapter 22… and with it, the Jeyton babies! I feel like I've waited for this for so long that I just had to get them out of there! Um, can't think of anything else to tell you except that I aced my exams (yay!), so here we go with the chapter!

It was a warm, sunny, early March day, and in delivery room 2 of the Tree Hill Community hospital, Jake Jagielski was slowly losing all feeling in his left hand.

"Jake, I hate you! I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!" Peyton screamed.

"Honey, this probably isn't the best time to be asking this, but what did I do?" Jake asked, wincing from the pain. He was starting to realise now that it maybe wasn't the best idea to tell Peyton she could hold his hand.

"You got me pregnant, you-" Peyton paused mid-sentence as she was gripped by another contraction, and Jake was sure he heard one of his fingers break. Luckily for him, this was the time the midwife chose to enter the room and set up camp at the end of Peyton's bed.

"Ok, Miss Sawyer, I'm just going to check how dilated your cervix is, so if you'll just give me a minute…"

"It better be nearly there because this-" Peyton's voice softened and she looked up, "It hurts, Jake."

"Don't worry honey, it'll all be over soon." Jake smiled as reassuringly as he could, considering that the last time he had done this was over fifteen years ago, and he was so scared then that he had hardly noticed what was going on.

"Yes, and sooner than we expected too. You're fully dilated, so get ready to push, Peyton." The midwife called across the hall for a couple of extra hands, then sat back down and looked up at Jake and Peyton. " Are you two ready to become parents?"

oooOOOooo

"Brooke, why did you break up with Lucas? I always wondered." a bored Jenny asked Brooke in the waiting room.

"What, honey?" Brooke snapped out of her daydream-induced trance and frowned.

"Well, you and Lucas must have dated in high school, because then you got pregnant with Tristan, right?"

"Right…" Brooke replied, unsure as how to explain the whole Peyton-Lucas situation back then, if Jenny asked.

"All I was wondering was, how come you broke up? I mean, you had a kid together."

"Jen, your dad and your real mom had a kid too, and they still broke up."

"Yeah, but Nicki is a self absorbed, heartless bitch, and you're not. Plus, you and Luke would have made way more sense as a couple than my parents ever did."

Brooke sighed, not sure whether what she was about to tell Jenny was true or not. "Lucas and I, in the end, broke up because we weren't the right people for each other, I guess."

"God, that sucks." Jenny took a sip from the cup of water she had in her hand. "How long has it been now? I think I might ring Leo."

Brooke checked her watch. "Um, almost five hours. I guess I should startcalling the others; if I know the speed your future stepmom likes to do things at, it shouldn't be too long now…"

oooOOOooo

Peyton Sawyer beamed up at her fiancé as she cradled her newborn son in her arms. He was holding their daughter, a spitting image of Peyton, but with Jake's eyes. Both the babies nestled peacefully in the arms of the people who were going to love them most in the world.

"Jake, we did it. I can't believe we did it!" Peyton exclaimed.

Jake sat down on the edge of the bed and pushed back Peyton's hair. "No, you did it, honey. You did it all, and I love you so, so much. Shall I go and get Brooke to come in?"

"Just stay here a minute. Oh, look at how beautiful they both are." Peyton stroked the baby's cheek. "Just so beautiful."

oooOOOooo

"Ok, now I'm bored." Brooke sunk her head onto Haley's shoulder and pouted.

"How long have they been in there? The midwife came out, like, half an hour ago." Jenny added.

"Just be patient, you guys." Haley urged. "Maybe they just want some time with the twins before everyone else barges in and takes charge."

"I suppose." Brooke got up from her seat and bought herself a coffee from the machine, then sat back down. "Haley?" she grinned, "do you think they're ready for us to barge in and take charge yet?"

Haley started to reply but was cut off by Jake tapping her on the shoulder. "Hey," he said softly, "where are the others?"

"Oh, Nathan's at home with the kids and Lucas said he'll come up when Katie and Callie are in bed."

Brooke jumped up. "So, are they here yet?"

Jake let out a little laugh. "Yes, they're here."

oooOOOooo

Peyton placed the tiny bundle back in the crib next to her bed as Brooke bounced in and gave her a huge hug.

"Hey, P. Sawyer! How is my bestest friend in the whole wide world?"

Peyton laughed and looked at Haley quizzically, who explained by holding up a cup of coffee and six fingers. "I'm fine, thanks. As are our two little angels here." She leaned over and picked up the smaller of the two babies, passed her to Jake, and settled the other in her arms.

"Oh. My. Word. They are just adorable!" Brooke squealed.

"Have you two decided on names yet?" Haley asked.

"I think so." Peyton looked up at Jake, who nodded. "Madeleine Anna and Noah Jacob Jagielski." She shifted Noah, so he was facing Haley and Brooke.

"Madeleine and Noah." Brooke whispered. "They are like the luckiest little babies in the whole world."

"Yeah," Jake twisted one of Madeleine's tiny blonde curls around his little finger. "We think so too."
