An: Hi guys… so this is the next chapter. I hope you guys like it and please review. It is my birthday in three days so it would be the best b-day present ever if I got a lot of reviews.

Brooke and Lucas had just finished moving Brooke into the guest bedroom. All her stuff was unpacked and put away.
"Thank you Luke so much for everything. I really appreciate it."
"No problem Brooke, I would do anything for you." He said as he headed for the kitchen.
Brooke was freaking out. What was that supposed to mean. Did it mean he loved her or was it just one of his comments? She was so puzzled that she couldn't move or talk. She just stood there for a while.
Brooke quickly composed herself and followed him into the kitchen. He was making some tea.
"Would you like some tea?"
"Sure," Brooke sat down and waited for him to say something.
"I'm sorry Brooke that it has been a little awkward between us lately."
"A little," she mumbled. "It's ok."
"I…I'm sorry… that we had drunken sex." He said bluntly. "I was so devastated about Lindsey and I wasn't even thinking. I didn't want it to happen, it just did. I'm so sorry. It's my entire fault."
What Lucas had just said hit Brooke hard. It felt like someone had thrown a brick at her face. All she could think of was how hard it was going to be for her to tell him she was pregnant and that he was the father.
Peyton and Jake were searching for the perfect house to buy. They had seen my houses that day but only one had stood out. It was a beautiful house with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen, dinning room and two living areas. It was perfect and it was a reasonable price.
"I really liked the third house we saw." commented Jake.
"I know! It is so perfect!" she exclaimed. "It would work perfectly for us. I love the master bedroom and I can already picture what I'm going to paint on the walls! I really think we should buy it."
"You think we should?"
"Yes," giggled the blond.
"Well I think so too!"
Peyton called the real estate agent for that house and made an offer. They were so excited and couldn't wait for the agent to call them back.
"Jamie, can push me?" Jenny called for him as she sat on the swing.
"Ok but you have to push me after."
Jamie and Jenny were having so much fun playing outside. They hadn't known each other long but they were now best friends. They did everything together.
"Jamie, Jenny, time to come in and wash up for dinner. Peyton and Jake will be back soon and Brooke and Lucas are coming over." Called Haley from the back patio door.
Peyton and Jake walked in the door.
"Hi Hales"
"Hello guys, any luck finding a house?"
"Actually we put an offer on a house." informed Peyton. "How were Jenny and Natalia?"
"Jenny and Jenny played outside all afternoon. Natalia is honestly the easiest baby ever. She rarely cries."
"That's good. When was the last time she ate?"
"Umm… I gave her her bottle around maybe two."
"Ok so she needs to get fed."
Peyton walked up the stairs to see her beautiful baby girl.
"Hi baby! Momma missed you today." She took the baby out of the crib and brought her downstairs. By the time she got downstairs, Jake had the bottle warmed up.
Peyton put the bib on the baby. Jake handed Peyton the bottle and she put it in her mouth. The baby immediately started suckling the bottle and fell asleep half way through. Peyton held her for a while and then put her in the play pen to sleep so she could help out with supper.
Everyone was coming over for a barbeque; Lucas, Karen, Lily and Brooke,
"Nathan, can you start up the barbeque please?"
"I already started it." responded Nathan. "All I need is the patties and hot dogs to cook."
"Here they are." Peyton passed him the platter as she moved on to cutting the veggies for the salads.
The salads were ready and Nathan was cooking the food. There was nothing left to prepare so Haley and Peyton went outside to talk with the guests.
"Momma, can me, Jenny and Lily go swimming?" Jamie begged.
"Ask Aunt Peyton and Karen but you will only have a half hour before supper is ready." answered Haley.
Jamie turned to face Karen and Peyton. "Can Jenny and Lily come swimming with me?"
"Of course!" the two answered at the same time.
"Jenny come here." called Peyton.
The little girl ran over, "Yes mommy"
"Let's go get your bathing suit on ok"
Peyton and Jenny walked up the stairs into the guest bedroom.
"Jenny, go to the washroom before going swimming please." ordered Peyton as she got out her bathing suit.
Peyton helped Jenny put her bathing suit and floaties on and they headed back downstairs.
Jamie and Lily were already in the pool so Jenny started running towards the pool and jumped in.
Peyton took as seat on a pool chair beside Lucas.
"Hey Luke."
"Hi"
"What's wrong? You seem very distant."
"I don't know…I'm just worried. Brooke was supposed to be here already. I called her cell phone five times and she's not answering."
"Don't worry about it. She's a big girl, I'm sure she's fine."
Everyone had already left Haley and Nathan's and Lucas was still worried. Brooke hadn't showed up and she still wasn't answering her cell. He decided to go home and see if she was there.
After arriving at his house and Brooke wasn't there he decided calling here once more.
It rang and rang until the voice mail picked up. Lucas was really worried and didn't know where she was.
He decided he best go looking for her. He searched the rivercourt, Karen's Café, the school, and everywhere he could think of. The last place he went to was Tric.
He walked in and saw it full as usual. He walked over to Owen.
"Owen, have you seen Brooke?"
"Who is Brooke?"
"Right…you don't know her. She has brown straight hair, she sort of small, brown eyes, very beautiful, nice smile..."
"Do you have a picture? There are many girls with brown hair and eyes here."
"I think so." Lucas flipped through his wallet and at the very back, there was an old picture of them from high school. "It is old but she still looks the same."
"Umm… Oh her…" he trailed off. "She has been here all night. She just passed out on the couch over there."
Lucas looked over to where he was pointing and saw her. A wage of relieve passed over him. "Thanks"
He walked over to her and shook her. "Brooke, wake up." There was no answer and he tried again. " Brooke"
She opened her eyes. "Wucas what are you doing here?" Her speech was slurred and he could barely understand her.
"I came to take you home. Let's go." He helped her up and realized she couldn't walk two inches without failing over. He picked her up and carried her to his car. He put her in and she fell asleep.
When they got home, he helped her get into bed. He was covering her up when she threw up all over him and herself.
"Oops!" She giggled.
He knew she drank a lot but not this much. He went to change his clothes and got out a shirt to put on Brooke. He took of her vomit covered clothes and changed her into his shirt. He covered her up and sat beside her.
"What have you done Brooke?" he quietly asked.
He wasn't expecting an answer. "I'm drunk silly!" She cheerfully said.
"I know but you had me worried. You were supposed to come for dinner at Naley's and you never showed up."
"I'm sorry Lucas!" she tried to sit up and hug him but she got very dizzy and lied back down. "I don't feel good Lucas."
"Why did you do this to yourself Brooke?" he stroked her hair as he said this.
She started to cry.
"What is wrong pretty girl?"
She was still crying and couldn't answer him.
He continued looking at her until she finally answered. "Please don't hate me."
"I won't what is it Brooke?"
"I'm pregnant."
Lucas was shocked. He didn't even know what to say. "Who is the father?"
She started crying even harder. "You are."
