Brooke left the store feeling very happy. Perhaps as happy as she had every felt. Don't get her wrong she loved her best friends and was glad that they were happy and had their own families, but she wanted some of her own happiness. And she was glad that she had finally found some happiness.
Brooke walked as quickly as she could to the recording studio so she could tell the one person who had been with her all along. The person who always believed in her. Her best friend, Peyton Elizabeth Scott.
As she entered Red Bedroom Records, she saw Peyton and Lucas making out like teenagers.
"Seriously newlyweds, this is how you ended up how you are now," responded Brooke regarding them getting pregnant before marriage.
"Brooke, you know I could never keep my hands off of Peyt and know she is even sexier since she is carrying my daughter," Lucas stated making Peyton brush, which made him think she was even sexier.
"What, you are having a daughter?" asked an ecstatic Brooke.
"Yep, Brooke you are going to have a niece," stated an equally joyful Peyton.
Brooke was very excited. She loved having a nephew in Jamie, but she was glad that she would be able to spoil her niece. She was already planning on all the clothes she would buy her and all the shopping trips they would go on together.
"But Brooke it looks like you had something you wanted to tell us when you came in her," replied Peyton, breaking Brooke out of her thoughts.
"Oh yes, you know how I had the interview today?" questioned Brooke.
"Yes, the interview you were going to kiss ass. How did it go?" replied Peyton.
"Well I had to wait 45 minutes for Christy to come out, but when she did she learned that I graduated from Parsons Design School. And guess what? So did she. Apparently she had to let someone go, so she looked at my portfolio and she offered me an internship as a designer!" answered Brooke.
"Brooke, I am so proud of you. You have worked so hard. I told you, you would kick ass," replied a very proud Peyton.
"Yeah, congrats Brooke. See I told you that you would change the world one day," stated a much calmer Lucas.
"Thank you both. I am just so excited. Hopefully there will be some hot models that I will be working with," stated Brooke.
"Always count on Brooke to be looking for the hot guys," laughed Peyton.
"Well you know P. Scott I can find one for you," said Brooke.
"As tempting as that is, I have a pretty sexy guy that I just married and am madly in love with," stated a smitten Peyton as she kissed Lucas on the check.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," replied a jealous Brooke. "But I was thinking that would should throw a party."
"And why would we throw a party, Brooke?" asked Peyton.
"Because I have the dream job and you are having the niece that I am going to love to spoil," stated Brooke.
"Okay, I am fine with the first part, but not so sure about the last part," said Lucas.
"Oh shush Lucas, you know that she will be wrapped around your finger right when she enters this world," replied Brooke.
"I agree that we should have a party, but it will need to be sometime next week because Lucas leaves tonight for a quick book tour on the West Coast," stated Peyton sadly.
" Oh so that is what I walked in on. Lucas Eugene Scott I cannot believe that you are leaving your pregnant wife to go on a tour!" stated Brooke.
"Brooke, please don't get started. I already feel awful..." stated a sad-looking Lucas.
"Brooke, it is okay I completely understand. Plus, that just means I can spend the night with you and we can watch all the movies that Lucas would never watch," interrupted Peyton.
With that said, Brooke, Peyton, and Lucas agreed to have a party next Monday at the Leyton house to celebrate Brooke's new job and the news of the Leyton baby.

Brooke woke-up early Thursday after being awoken by her cell phone around 6:30 a.m. Brooke was asked to come into work today by Christy because they had a big fashion show next week that they needed her help with. Brooke gladly told Christy that she would come in and would be in around 8 am.
An hour and a half later Brooke walked through the doors of the store. "Thank you, so much Brooke for coming in. I know I asked you to start Monday, but we had someone call in saying they had to go visit their sick father, so we really need you to help with our fashion show," stated Christy.
"No problem. Just let me know what you need me to do and I will do it," replied Brooke.
"Well, we have this new model that I need you to measure. You also need to decide what clothes he should wear for the fashion show. He is in the back room. I will be back in an hour to see how everything is going," replied Christy.
Brooke was a little nervous, but she walked into the back room expecting to meet a female model, instead she saw a male model who was tall, handsome, and had sparkling brown eyes. Just then Brooke was imagining herself with this tall, handsome man.
"Hello, I am Julian. So I guess you must be, Brooke Davis," replied Julian breaking Brooke out of her daydream.

I do not really like this chapter. To me it feels really random and sporadic. I am really sorry. Let me know what you think. However, Julian finally appeared.
Please give me suggestions for names of the store that Brooke is working at.
