Brooke's POV
I asked Matt what he wanted and he told me to g to the police. He told me that he needed to know that justice had been served for his dad. He had calmed down a lot. He had pretty much stopped spending time with Jenny. She was still going out all the time, and Peyton and Jake were worried about her.
It has been two weeks since I spoke to Lucas at the café. I am now 5 months along and the nursery is still only half painted.
Lucas was missing out on so much. Maia was excelling at school. She and Greg were now officially dating. It was exciting to see her growing into a mature young woman. Lola was having her first dance recital. Lucas was coming, but all she wanted was for him to come home again. The baby had also started to move inside of me. He wasn't there for our little boy's first kick. I called his cell and left a message. He left me a message about a day later that he was happy that the baby was thriving. This pregnancy was nothing like I imagined it would be. I spent a lot of time with Haley and Peyton who were going through what I was going through. The three of us ate lunch together a few times a week. Peyton was having a tough time with Jenny.
"Guys, I think we're going to have to get Jenny some help." Peyton said
"Peyton, is something wrong? Like worse than her acting out?"
"No, I don't think so. I don't know. We just can't get through to her. She's smoking all the time and she's drinking. I just don't want her to get hurt."
"I'm sorry Peyton" I said
"Brooke, why are you sorry? You aren't the one who got pregnant and caused her to act out!"
"Peyton, you can't think this is your fault. You just gave her an excuse to go crazy. You didn't make her do this. You were a better mother to her than Nikki was. She loves you, even if she doesn't show it."
"Peyton, Brooke's right. She loves you. You've been there for her since she was a baby; se even called you mommy. She'll come back to you."
"Thanks guys. I hope you're right. Now let's talk about something else, okay?"
"Okay, the baby moved for the first time last night." I said
"Brooke, that's great. I can't wait until the baby starts moving. I remember when I was pregnant with the twins and I felt like they were beating each other up. And then with Owen, so much calmer, I just love to feel them move. It's magical almost." Haley said
"Wow Hales, somebody's warmed up to the idea of a new baby."
"Huh, yeah, the first ultrasound picture really got me, but I'm really excited now. I can't wait to see his little face."
"Yeah, I hope me and Luke will be okay by then."
"Brooke, things will be fine, and your baby will be loved." Peyton said
"I know, but he missed the baby's first kick. I mean, he was so involved with Lola and now I'm just reminded of how alone I was with Maia. I just want this baby to have his daddy."
