Dirty Little Secrets
A/N: I don't own anything associated with One Tree Hill
Chapter 3
6 months later…
Brooke waddled up the stairs to her 3rd storey studio apartment with arms full of shopping.
"God, I can't believe I couldn't get an apartment building with an elevator" she muttered to herself as Brooke climbed the last few steps.
"Talking to your self again, Brooke?"
Brooke turned around to find her next door neighbour, Felix watching her carry the parcels to her door.
"You mind helping me Felix??" Brooke said, flirting with Felix a little, after all she still was Brooke Davis!
"Sure thing, Brooke" as they walked into her apartment, Felix carrying most of her shopping.
"Hey Brooke, can I ask you something?"
"Anything, Tiger" Brooke said while winking at Felix
"Who are the people in the photographs you have in your apartment?"
"Oh, just from a lifetime ago…"Brooke said vaguely
"Hmm you're a very secretive person aren't you?"
"No... just guarded" Brooke said, beginning to feel very uncomfortable where the conversation was heading.
"Well secrets have a way of coming out, Brooke" Felix said
"Do you have experience in that area, Felix??"
"Hmmm…I better get back" Felix said, looking like he wanted to be swallowed by the ground alive.
"K…thanks for bringing in my groceries, Felix. See you later" as Brooke sat down on the couch and switched the TV onto the E! Channel
In breaking news, star small forward for the Charlotte Bobcats, Nathan Scott and wife, Haley James Scott are expecting their second child according to a statement released by their publicist today. "I am overjoyed to announce that Nathan and Haley are expecting a brother or sister for their son, James. Haley is in her 4th month of pregnancy and mum and baby are doing fine"
A longing came over Brooke for her friends back home. It had been a hard couple of months for Brooke, all her college friends were still partying their way through the city, and no one really wanted a tired, cranky pregnant lady hanging around the dance floor. All she wanted to do was pick up the phone and congratulate Haley and Nathan. Brooke knew the couple had wanted another child for a few years now, and it pained her that she kept her pregnancy from Haley.
The name she had been avoiding for 6 months woke Brooke from her reminiscing. She drew her attention back to the television.
In related news, Nathan's author brother, Lucas and his supermodel girlfriend, Rachel Gettina are expecting their first child. Although reports have been unconfirmed, Rachel and Lucas were seen in Tree Hill in a local maternity shop, with Rachel wearing a loose fitting peasant top and figure hugging denim skirt. How far along is weight-conscious Rach? Only time will tell.
All thought processes had now left Brooke's brain. Rachel? Pregnant? It's bad enough that she was engaged to him but now she was pregnant too…Rachel was getting the life that Brooke had always envisioned with Lucas.

So what do you think? Is Rachel pregnant? Fake pregnant? Miscarriage? Could it be someone else's?? Let me know what you think! Please Review, I am loving the response so far and would love a few more reviews. Reviews are really encouraging, particularly for a first time writer. Thanks, Lydia
