Brooke was pregnant too, but she left at the beginning of season four. This story is set 16 years after the fourth season's finale, but includes flashbacks.
"Your going to be fine!" Brooke exclaimed at her 16 year old daughter October.
"Mom, I've lived here for 2 days, you are sending me Tree Hill High in the middle of a semester, and the only thing you've said to me in the past two hours was to go by the last name of Davis, not Scott, I am far from fine. Did you commit a crime? Is that why we moved and I have to go by your name? Wait no, never mind, goodbye," October said quickly before shutting the car door.
Brooke laughed silently as October slowly made her way through the groups of students. It didn't seem like all that long ago, she herself had been here, but in reality it was sixteen and a half years before. Brooke sighed at the thought, and then pulled out of her parking space and heading to her new job. Her clothing line was very successful and she was just opening a new store in Tree Hill's local mall.
Inside, October nervously tried to maneuver through the crowded halls to find her locker, number 003. After spotting the dark blue locker, she quickly opened it and dropped her stuff inside. She smiled at the brown haired girl who stood next to her, before closing her locker's door.
"Hi, are you new here?" the girl said, showing off her pretty smile.
"Um, yes, I just moved here two days ago, unexpectedly," October said, smiling herself.
"Well, it's nice to meet you. I'm Lilly and if you need help finding something just let me know alright?" Lilly said before walking away to join her friends.
"Okay," October said to herself as the bell for first period rang loudly in her ears.
"English, fun," October said out loud.
She navigated though the halls until she found room 245 and she walked inside.
"Good morning," her teacher said, as she slid into the first empty desk she spotted, "Are you October? I was told someone would be joining my class today."
"Yes, that would be me," October smiled.
"And your last name is..." the teacher asked.
"Sc..Davis," October said, catching her real last name in her throat.
Her teacher then looked at her as if he was trying to place where he had seen her before.
"Well, you can call me Mr. Scott, and welcome to English 10," Mr. Scott said quietly.
After school that day, October stood quietly outside, near a picnic table waiting for her mom to pick her up. Reflecting her day, it was a haze of being ignored and whispered about. Tree Hill sure liked to gossip. A half hour later, October was alone, except for the small group of cheerleaders who were practicing on an open space of cement. October spotted Lilly giving out commands, and laughed at how into the whole thing she was. Lilly then spotted October and waved her over.
"Hey everybody, this is October, she's new here," Lilly said smiling widely.
"Hi," October said awkwardly as a few hello's were mumbled throughout the crowd.
"Could I talk to you alone?' Lilly questioned October.
"Yeah, of course."
Lilly dragged October so they were out of earshot from the rest of the girls.
"I was wondering, if maybe you'd be willing to try out for the squad," Lilly smiled hopefully, "We need one more person for our routine to work properly, and the options are fairly limited around here. Wanna give it a shot? If you don't like it you can always quit."
"Um, I've never been a cheerleader before, but I guess it couldn't hurt right?" October said, unsure if she'd even be good at it.
"Great!" Lilly exclaimed. She quickly ran to the squad and told everyone the news, and shouted that practice was over for the day.
October then spotted Brooke, finally pulling up to the curb and dashed for the passengers seat.
"How was your day?" Brooke asked, as soon as October's door flew open.
"Well, all my classes suck, except for English, I liked it. My teacher's nice, but kinda quite around me. His name is Mr. Scott. Am I related to him? OH, and as of right now I am a cheerleader. The captain Lilly asked me to join. You used to be a cheerleader right? Could you help me because I'm clueless and don't want to look completely lame. Everyone here already ignores me."October said breathlessly.
"Everyone?" Brooke asked.
"Well, except Lilly, besides that, no one has even said hello," October said meekly.
"Don't worry, you'll know everyone soon enough. So, um, this English teacher, what was his name?" Brooke asked.
"Mr. Scott," October replied.
"First name?" Brooke questioned.
"I don't know, I'll check my schedule," October said before pulling out her sheet of info, "It only says L. Scott."
"Lucas," Brooke whispered.
"Huh?" October asked, "You know him? Is he related to me in some way?"
"Um, yeah," Brooke said, "Let's not talk about it now, alright?"
"Okay," October said, dropping the subject, "Just out of curiosity, why did we move her?"
"I've told you before, I'm opening a new store," Brooke explained.
"You've opens about 20 stores by now mom, we haven't moved to any of the locations. Why here?" October asked again.
"Long story," Brooke gave in, "Short version is, I graduated here, and wanted you to as well."
"Is this where my dad lives?" October asked.
"I believe so," Brooke replied.
"Does he know about me?" October asked.
"Yes," Brooke replied, "On some levels.'
"Meaning?" October said narrowing her eyes.
The two girls pulled into the driveway of their new home, which was actually down the street from, where Brooke had grown up in. Inside, Brooke finally answered October.
"When I was in my senior year of highschool, I was dating your father, and he kiss my ex-best friend Peyton, we broke up. A few weeks later I discovered I was pregnant and left. I couldn't face him, or anyone else," Brooke began, "Your father's brother and his wife were having a baby as well, and so was your grandmother."
"My grandma had a baby?" October said, weirded out.
"She had your dad at the end of her senior year, so she wasn't old," Brooke laughed.
"Okay," October smiled.
"After I left, I went to live with my parents in California and when I got closer to the end of my pregnancy, I felt a lot of guilt. So I went back. I drove all the way from California to little Tree Hill, because I was to far along to fly." Brooke said, "As I drove down main street, I felt my water break, and I drove to the hospital. I was freaking out because you were a little over a month early."
FLASHBACK
Brooke winced as another contraction hit her, and she quickly walked over to the admitting station.
"Name please?" the nurse said calmly.
"Brooke Davis," she said quickly.
"Brooke?" she could hear a voice ask behind her.
Crap.
"Yeah?" she asked turning around to see Haley and Peyton staring back at her, "Hi.."
"What the hell!" Haley exclaimed as Peyton stood there shocked.
"Nice to see you guys to, but OWWW,"Brooke shouted in pain.
"Who's is it?" Haley asked, "Where have you been? Why are you her now? Wow, my head is spinning."
"California," was all Brooke could say before the nurse wheeled her away in a wheelchair to her room.
"It looks like you guys just saw a ghost," Lucas laughed as he walked down the hallway.
"It was worse than a ghost," Peyton said.
"What was it?" Lucas asked squinting.
"A pregnant Brooke," Haley said stunned.
"Are your hormones bugging you again Hales?" Lucas questioned.
"NO! Brooke was here, she was pregnant and in labor and they took her into a room and she was in California, and I seriously need to calm down," Haley spoke.
"Brooke's having a baby?" Lucas asked, "Who's the father?"
"Who knows," Peyton smirked.
"Excuse me, is one of you a Haley James Scott? Brooke Davis wants to see you." the nurse said in a bored tone.
"That's me," Haley said raising her hand.
"Room 167," the nurse replied.
"Haley, this hurts," Brooke whined as soon as Haley entered the room.
"I'm sure it does," Haley smiled, "I'll be going through it soon enough too."
"Yeah," Brooke smiled tiredly.
"Brooke, you went to California. Was this the reason?" Haley question.
Brooke nodded her head in return.
"Is the baby Lucas'?" Haley asked.
Brooke's silence, answered Haley's question.
"You have to tell him," Haley said softly.
"I know," Brooke replied," Can you?"
"What?" Haley asked.
"I can't look at him Tutor Girl, it hurts, I can't. I came here to see him but I am not ready. I am really not ready too," Brooke said, "And the baby is early and I just can't I can't do this. Please don't make me."
"I'm not going to make you do anything," Haley smiled, "But he really does have the right to know."
"Why are you all here?" Brooke said raising one of her eyebrows.
"Karen collapsed and they did a C-section, she had a baby girl," Haley smiled, "She's beautiful."
"Wow, that's great. It's so awful Keith isn't here," Brooke said sadly.
"It's not fun to grow up without a dad," Haley said looking at Brooke's big belly.
"Don't make me feel any worse," Brooke said quietly.
Two hours later, October entered the world at 5 pounds 3 ounces.
Haley squeezed Brooke's hand, "You did awesome."
"Why isn't she crying?" Brooke asked, "The book's said she'd cry!"
"I don't know," Haley said, suddenly worried as well.
"Code Blue," shouted one of the nurses into the hall.
"Code what? What's going on?" Brooke asked loudly.
"Your baby isn't breathing, we need to take her into another room to help her alright, don't worry," the nurse said quickly, as they wheeled the baby out of the room.
"Oh my god," Brooke said panicked, "Haley?"
"Yes," Haley whispered.
"Follow her please, I can't and someone needs to be with her," Brooke said.
"You sure you'll be okay here by yourself?" Haley asked softly.
"Yes, GO," Brooke said.
Haley moved out of the room, and followed the doctors down the hall, until they reached the room the were headed to. The doctors advised Haley to wait outside.
"Hales!" Lucas said coming down the hall, "What's wrong?"
"She's," Haley said tearing up, before she started to sob.
"Haley, what's going on, common I need to know," Lucas said scared.
"The baby won't breath, Brooke's baby won't breath," Haley said making herself calm down.
"Oh no," Lucas said quietly.
"It's your baby too Luke," Haley said tearing up again.
Haley watched as Lucas' face fell.
END OF FLASHBACK
"Then what happened?" October asked.
"Well, they got you to breath, and we left back for California. I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't do it. I thought I could but just seeing everyone there again made me realize I couldn't." Brooke spoke.
"Were your friends mad?" October asked.
"I haven't talked to them since, except for you aunt Haley. I've called her everyday on your birthday from a pay phone, just to tell her we were fine," Brooke said, "You are probably really pissed off at me right now huh?"
"Well, no, it's what you had to do, and I wouldn't want you to be here if you weren't ready to be, I just feel kinda bad for my dad. He had no clue and didn't even have a chance to be a part of my life. Not that he'd want to or anything." October said, "So, my new English teacher is my father?"
"How random is that?" Brooke laughed.
