"What Lies Ahead Of Us" - Chapter Ten

Rachel sat on the couch, watching the kids. She wondered why she had even wanted to baby sit. At the moment, it seemed like the worst possible thing she wanted to do; handle kids. She couldn't even take care of herself, let alone two other lives. She almost laughed at herself.

Her thoughts were interrupted when two-year-old Rachel came up to her, handing her a book as she sat on the couch. The two-year-old smiled up at Rachel, as she handed the book to her.

"What the hell am I suppose to do with this?" Rachel asked her, annoyed. The three-year-old gasped and then giggled.

"Momma says that's a naughty word." She whispered, still waiting for Rachel to take the book and start reading.

"Well, what Momma doesn't know won't hurt her." Rachel said, winking at her.

"Please?" Rachel whispered to her, handing the book to her one more time. Rachel still had an annoyed look on her face, and she grabbed the book from the little one.

"Oh god," She mumbled under her breath and started reading. "Once upon a time,"


"Oh, my, god." Peyton said, wide-eyed. "Brooke, are you okay," She said, completely shocked. Peyton quickly called for Chase. "We need to go to the hospital."


"Well, Brooke," The doctor said to her. "Your test results turned out normal. You'll be fine. Just a case of morning sickness." He reassured her, and she nodded.

"Thank you, doctor." Brooke said, quietly, and Chase helped her walk out of the room. "Baby, I'm fine," She laughed.

"I'm just worried about you, that's all." Chase said, giving her a warm smile. She turned around and gave him a kiss.

"The three of us are going to be fine." Brooke said, and they walked out of the room, hand and hand.
