"So, you are under some stress from all the wedding planning and stuff like that?" The doctor asked.

"Yes. Could there be problems with the baby because of it?" Brooke asked worried, as she held Chase's hand tightly.

"Yes, that's a possibility. Researchers have long known that during times of stress, the brain releases several hormones, including one called corticotrophin-releasing hormone, or known as CRH." She said, pausing before speaking again so they could take it all in.

"In past research, women who deliver prematurely or have low-birth-weight babies were often found to have high levels of CRH in their bloodstream, and other studies show a greater risk of miscarriage in women reporting stress," She paused again.

"So, right now I want you, Brooke, to just stay in your bed and rest. Just for 2 days. You can get up to get yourself something to eat and go to the bathroom of course, but I want you to get more rest than you usually do." The doctor said.

Chapter 24

2 days later

It was in a week. The best day of her life, was almost here. She couldn't believe it. She would be married to Chase. She would be Brooke Davis Adams.

Brooke pictured it. The wedding. She saw the roses and she saw herself walking down the isle, looking so beautiful in her wedding dress. Her hair was down, loosly curled. Brooke started walking down the beautiful isle, covered in rose petals that Lily and Rachel had thrown all over the place.

It was perfect.

"Brooke? Brooke" Peyton yelled.

"What?"

"You were in your own zone for a second. You okay?" She asked.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine, just thinking about the wedding." Brooke said as she gave a smile.

"It'll be great," Peyton told. "Are you feeling okay? I mean is your stomach hurting?"

"Eh, just a little bit. I think I'm going to lay down. The doctor said rest often."

"Yeah, okay."

"But, love, is everything ready for the wedding?"

"Yup, the flowers, the dresses, everything's in order."

"The photographer?"

"Yup. Brooke, everything is fine. Now, go rest."

"Come with me, we can watch tv."

"So have you or are you gonna talk to Lucas? Or do you want to be with Jake?"

"I wish I could be with Lucas." Peyton said. "But, I don't think that he does. I blew it."

"Well, it was pretty stupid to kiss Jake!" Brooke said angrily.

"Okay, I'm gonna say the hormones made you say that." Peyton said.

"Me too." Brooke said, knowing that she wouldn't of gotten that mad and looking confused.

"So are you going to talk to Peyton man?" Nathan asked as Lucas and him went for a run.

"I don't know. I'm still a little bit angry with her, and it's hard to even see her. I don't know what I'm gonna do at the wedding." He said, out of breath as they stopped at the rivercourt.

"Yeah, I know," Nate said, stopping and noticing the basketball the was on the grass. "Hey, you up for a game?"

"Of course I am." He said, grinning. "We'll see what you got..." He paused. "Old man." He smirked.

Nate laughed. "I'm the same age as you! Actually, I'm younger than you."

"Oh yeah." Lucas said laughing.

"So who's the old man now?" Nathan said, shooting the basketball and sinking it in.
