"Lucas…" I say smiling and pulling him closer.

"Yes my beautiful wife."
"Do you want more children?"
"Yeah, of course I do. Why? You wanna try for one now?"
"Of course I do, but this'll just be for fun."
"So your pregnant?"
"Yeah. Are you as excited as I am?"
"Of course."

The next morning I woke up and did the usual morning ritual. Lucas cooked the kids breakfast and I made lunch for Lola. After breakfast I got Lola dressed for school and she got in the car. It was my day to drive all the kids to school. Maia, Greg, Matt and Jenny all walked to school together with some other friends. Lola got in the car and we drove down the road to Haley's. She was busy with Owen and I saw him run outside when Hannah opened the door and Haley came running out after him.

"Owen. Owen get back here." She called

"By mom" called the girls in unison.

"Bye girls. Have a great day! If you still don't feel better later Grace, go to the nurse and I'll come get you. Love you both!"

"Bye Hales. Noon at your place right?"

"Yup. Remind Peyton too."

Haley had stopped teaching when she had had the twins. They had money from Nate's pro career that she could go back to work once the kids were in school. Now she spent her days just being a mom and playing with two year old Owen.

About ten minutes later I pulled up in front of Peyton's.

Peyton walked outside holding baby Sofia.

"Hey Peyton, Drew ready yet?"

"Not yet. Five more minutes probably. So what are the plans?"
"Haley's at noon. Bring the kids, She's got Owen and I have Lola because Lucas is trying to finish a project right now. (Note: Lola is in half day kindergarten)
Drew, short for Andrew, was always late. No matter what the occasion he couldn't get himself together in time. Peyton and Jake couldn't even help him. At six and a half, he was a mini Jake. Everything about him screamed Jake, everything except his eyes. They were Peyton's. He had incredible, big light green eyes. He came running out of the house.

"Sorry Aunt Brooke. I couldn't find Jasper."
"You did find him right Drew?" Peyton said right away looking at her son.

"Yeah, he was in Kyle's room."

Jasper was Drew's snake. Peyton didn't really like the snake too much, but Drew was fascinated, and she couldn't deny him a snake.

"Come on Drewy, school isn't going to wait for you." I said.

He climbed into the car and I dropped the kids at school.

At noon I went to Tree Hill Elementary and walked down to Lola's class room. Just then I got a cal from Haley on my cell.

"Brooke"
"Yeah Hales, what's up?"

"Can you get Grace at the nurse, she isn't feeling well?"

"Yeah, sure. Did you tell the nurse I was getting her?"
"Yeah. It's all set up."

"Not a problem Hales, see you in a bit."

Lola ran into my arms when I got to school. She had only been in kindergarten for three weeks and was still adjusting to not being at home with me all the time. I also went ad got Gracie from the nurse and the three of us made our way to Haley's.

"Haley!" I called as I went into her house. She wasn't in plain sight, but Gracie ran up to her room.

"I think mommy's sick too Aunt Brooke." She called down to me. "She's in the bathroom and she's throwing up"

"I'm coming Hales!" I called upstairs. "Lola, go play in Owen's room okay."
"Okay mommy"

I went upstairs to find Haley crouched over the toilet trying to hold her hair back. I sat down next to her and held her hair for her and I stroked her back.

"Hales, you feeling okay?"

"Brooke" she said looking up at me with puffy eyes "I think I'm pregnant"

"Haley, that's a good thing isn't it. You love kids. And now we can be pregnant together!"

"Brooke, I want to go back to work. I love my kids, but I want to have job again. I want to have me time."

"Haley, you know you don't have to keep the baby if you are pregnant. That is always an option, but why don't we take a test first, okay?"
"Thank you so much Brooke. And congratulations on the new baby." She said smiling.

"Haley! Brooke!" We heard Peyton call.

"I'll get her Hales, you freshen up."
"Hey Peyton, Kyle and Sofia." I say

"Hey Brooke. What's going on up there?"

"Oh nothing, I just brought Grace home, she wasn't feeling too well."

"Oh, I hope she feels better. Kyle, why don't you go play in Owen's room."

Kyle was exactly like Peyton in everyway. He had her face, her hair and her eyes. He had also inherited his artistic talents from her. Sofia at a year seemed to be all Jake, except that her hair was dirty blonde. She was adorable too.

Just then Haley came downstairs. She looked much better than when I had left her.

"So let's get this party started!"

Together we made sandwiches and served lunch outside. All the kids played outside together, and Grace rested inside. We adults talked together while the kids played.

"So, I already told Haley, but Lucas and I are expecting!"

"Congratulations Brooke!" Peyton said. "I actually have news too, Jake and I are expecting too!"

"This is going to be so fun, all of us pregnant together!"

"Wait, Hales your pregnant too?" Peyton asked

"Not sure, maybe." She said. Peyton sensed Haley's uneasiness "Sorry Hales, I didn't realize you didn't want more kids."

"It's not that I don't want more kids, I just, I want to have more time with Nathan and myself and I want to go back to work. But if I am pregnant, I'll love this baby just as much as the other three. And it will be fun if we are all pregnant together!"

"That's the spirit!" Peyton shouted. "Cheers!" she said as we all raised our lemonades.

(Author's Note: Please suggest more names; I loved the ones you gave me, and I will try to use as many as possible. Remember, this time I need boy and girl names because I don't even know the gender of the babies yet! Please review! Thank you! I'm also going to try and make Lucas and maybe some other characters more prominent in coming chapters.)
