The time had passed and Brooke was now seventeen weeks pregnant. Everything was going well with her and the baby, she and Lucas avoided each other as much as possible, Nathan and Rachel were always there for her. Nathan was excited and ready for the championship game, Haley was almost ready to go on tour, as for Peyton, she was fine, her and Brooke were on speaking terms again at least, but never mentioning Lucas's name.
Brooke and Rachel were at the apartment getting ready for the game and Brooke said, "It won't take much long and I won't be able to use these clothes anymore, Dr. Connor said that I will probably begin to show from mid-pregnancy, I'm almost there and half of my pants are already too tight, what I am going to do?"
Rachel looked at her and said, "Brooke we knew this would happen, and you still fit on normal clothes, just thank God that today is the last game and you no longer will have use this uniform" Brooke agreed and said, "yeah I know, but we'll have to go away soon, the time is passing really fast and I will not have my son here"
Rachel said, "I know, but we don't need to think about it now, and everything is almost ready for us to go away, just a few more test and the principal Tuner said we're done, now stop complaining and let's go"
The stadium was packed, Tree Hill was all there and waiting for a victory, the players were getting ready in the locker room, Lucas took his medicine and Nathan said, "Hey, how is your heart?"
Lucas looked at him and said, "I'm okay, I'm taking the medicine, I didn't know you were worried" Nathan looked at him and said, "Lucas no matter what happens you're my brother and I care about you even if you are an idiot and I want to beat your ass, but now let's forget everything and win this game"
Lucas smiled and said, "Let's do this little brother" The game started and wasn't an easy one, with Lucas playing only fifteen minutes, Nathan was struggling to keep the score on their side.
Haley, Peyton, Brooke and Rachel cheered as they never cheered before, people kept shouting there was only a few seconds left of the game, it was a tied, Tim stole the ball and passed it to Lucas that quickly passed the ball to Nathan who did the fade away and made the winning basket.
The game was over. Ravens had won! Everyone stormed out to the court, they were all hugging and smiling.
After awhile everybody left and went to their parties to celebrate, the boys got changed at the locker room and went to meet the girls. Before Nathan could get near the girls he saw the scout, David Shea, from NYU, coming to talk to him.
David smiled and said, "Amazing game Nathan" Nathan smiled and said, "Thanks, but I had a lot of help" David said, "Still.. So I'm here to offer you a full scholarship to play with us, If you want of course"
Nathan shook his hand and said, "Thank you sir, you have no idea what this means to me" David looked at him and said, "I hope to hear from you soon Nathan, have a good night, you deserve it" and he walked away.
Nathan couldn't believe it, he got it, he saw Brooke packing her things and ran up to her and said, "Brooke are not going to believe what happened" Brooke smiled and said, "what Nate?" Nathan looked at her and said, "I just got an offer for NYU, a full scholarship"
Brooke hugged him and said, "Nathan! Congratulations! You deserve it, but that's what you really want? What about Duke? I don't want you to feel obligated to go just because I'm going there.."
Nathan interrupted her and said, "B., you never asked me anything, I'm not doing just for you, it's for me too. I want this, I want to go there and stay close to you and my nephew and I won't change my mind, so don't bother tying"
Brooke smiled and put her hand on her belly and made a face, Nathan looked at her and said, "Brooke what happened? Are you okay?" Brooke agreed and said, "Yeah, I am and looks like your nephew agrees with you, because he just kick me"
Nathan smiled and said, "he did?" He put his hand on her belly to feel it and said, "That is it buddy, show your mom that I'm always right" Brooke smiled and said, "you guys are already gathering against me and he's not even born yet!" They laughed, Nathan helped her with her things and they went to meet their friends to celebrate.
The party at Nathan's beach house lasted almost all night and strangely enough without any drama, everyone else had left except for Nathan, Haley, Rachel, Brooke, Peyton and Lucas.
They were sitting on the couch and Nathan said, "hey Luke, how about we go for a walk and leave the girls here with their gossip?" Lucas looked surprised, Nathan hadn't talked to him since the game ended and Nathan said, "you said you wanted to talk.." Lucas agreed and stood up and went towards the door.
Brooke looked at Nathan and said, "Nate.." He smiled and said, "Relax Davis, it's fine" The boys left, Brooke stood up and said, "I'm going to the kitchen you guys want anything?" Rachel looked at her and said, "you are going to get ice cream aren't you fat ass?"
Brooke laughed agreeing and Rachel said, "Well, I want some too" they all laughed and Haley and Peyton stood up and said, "me too!" the four laughed and went to the kitchen.
They were eating ice cream and Rachel said, "Nathan is right about us and we don't stop eating" Haley laughed and said, "Yeah..but he doesn't need to know that he already is cocky enough" they laughed and continued eating.
Lucas and Nathan went to the river court, Nathan sat down and said, "So.. you wanted to talk to me" Lucas looked at him and said, "yeah.. well.. I wanted to apologize" Nathan said, "You've been doing a lot of that lately"
Lucas agreed and said, "yeah I know, I'm trying to change, I know I messed up a lot, but I can't turn back time, so saying sorry is all that I can do right now.. And try not to do that anymore"
Nathan looked at him and said, "You know what I think? That you were always a mess and all of this brooding thing and always been a good boy.. I never bought it" Lucas said, "what you mean?"
Nathan said, "you never could really make up your mind about anything.. that's the main reason all this shit have happened. You always thought that I had a better life then you, that just because Dan chose my mom I got the better end of the stick. You were jealous, but at the same time you always thought you were better than me.. you always had that superior thing going on, you still do"
Lucas stayed quiet no knowing what to say and Nathan said, "And then you join the team, you met the girls.. and you started to see that our life weren't as great as you thought, I think that messed you up even more.. Because now you were not only better than me as you thought but you had my life too.."
Nathan continued, "you see.. me and Brooke, we knew how to adapted to your and Haley's life, I had Haley she believed in me, she stood by me and that was all I needed and Brooke, she.. well, she always wanted that.. so for her was that difficult. But you were mesmerized with the possibilities of having all you ever wanted.. and we know how that turned out"
Lucas was surprised, he never had thought about all of that in that way and he couldn't tell Nathan he was wrong, so he stay quiet and Nathan said, "But you know what? You're right you can turn back time, what happened, happened.. still makes me want to kick your ass, but I know you really didn't mean to hurt her and she's better without you, so.."
Lucas looked at him and said, "Nathan…" Nathan said, "Just one more thing, stay away from her, because Lucas I swear to God that if you do anything to make her sad or cry again I won't be responsible for what I will do to you"
Lucas said, "You really care for her… I'm really sorry for everything and I won't do anything to hurt her again" Nathan said, "Good" Lucas sat next to Nathan and they stayed quiet for awhile and Lucas said, "I really thought you were going to kill me.." Nathan said, "Yeah well.. I promised I wouldn't do anything stupid"
Lucas said, "Still after everything I did.." Nathan said, "Oh believe me I wanted nothing more than just kick your ass.. but.. anyway did you do anything else that I don't know of?" Lucas flinched for a second and said, "Nothing that she hasn't told you I'm sure.."
Nathan agreed and said, "Want to go back?" Lucas said, "How about one more game for old time's sake?" Nathan smiled and said, "Sure, why not?"
After eating the ice cream and talk, Haley went to sleep saying she had a lot to do in the morning, leaving Rachel, Brooke and Peyton in the room waiting for the boys to get back.
They were silently watching television when they went in and Nathan said, "Aww How cute is that Luke, they were waiting up for us" Rachel threw a pillow at Nathan, Lucas and Peyton laughed, Nathan looked at Brooke sleeping on the couch and said, "you're lucky that I don't want to wake up Brooke and deal with her fury"
Rachel laughed and said, "Yeah right! Just admit that you have nothing on me" Peyton and Lucas laughed and Peyton said, "You know Nate, I always knew you were afraid of girls" Nathan looked at her and said, "Not girls, girl! Her, and I'm not afraid to admit that"
They laughed, they all knew that Brooke could be pretty scary sometimes, Brooke began to move and everyone stopped. They all looked at each other and Rachel said, "We better stop before she wakes up"
Nathan agreed and said, "Let me take her to her room" he went to her, grabbed her and carried her to the room. The three stared and said nothing. Nathan came back and said, "Done the sleeping beauty is already in bed and now my turn. I'm going take a shower and go to sleep"
Lucas and Peyton agreed and Lucas said, "Us too, see you guys later" and they left. Nathan and Rachel looked at each other and he said, "You will sleep here too?" Rachel nodded and he continued, "Okay then, let's go to sleep"
Rachel laughed and said, "wow Nate was that an invitation?" he laughed and said, "No.. When I make one you won't have any doubts about it" they laughed and Nathan want to take a shower and Rachel went to bed.
In the morning the four of them were having breakfast and Haley said, "So I loved this whole family breakfast thing" everyone laughed and she continued, "But I gotta go, Chris manager is coming to talk about the details of the tour" Brooke agreed and said, "Go on then Rock Star, call us later!" Haley laughed and left.
Brooke put the dishes in the sink and said, "I told you to stop kicking mommy didn't I?" she put her hand on her belly and continued, "you better stop if you know what's good for you buddy" Nathan laughed and Rachel looked at her and said, "Is he kicking? Brooke turned to her and said, "Yeah since yesterday and now he just won't stop"
Rachel went to her and put her hand on Brooke's belly and said, "wow! It's amazing" Nathan laughed and said, "Isn't it?" Brooke looked at them and said, "That's because is not you that this little brat is kicking" Rachel and Nathan laughed and he said, "Yesterday you were so happy"
She agreed and said, "It's because I had never felt it before, now I felt too much" they laughed and went into the living room. They sat on the couch and Brooke said, "I just have the perfect idea, let's go on a road trip, the three of us this time"
Rachel looked at her and said, "Where are we going? To see Jake?" Brooke looked at her and said, "How did you know where I went?" Nathan hit Rachel's arm and said, "We found out, but we were waiting for you to tell us"
Brooke said, "Ohh… Rachel! you saw my emails didn't you?" Rachel agreed laughing, Brooke threw the pillow on her and said, "Bitch" Rachel threw it back to her and said, "Whatever Slut, just change your password"
They laughed and Brooke said, "Anyway, what you think, let's go? I miss him and Jenny.." Brooke made the puppy eyes and Nathan said, "God not the puppy eyes, okay! Let's go.. I want to see Jake too"
Rachel agreed and said, "Yeah, it's about time I meet him" Brooke yelled, "Yay! let's get everything ready, we leave in about one hour?" They agreed and she said, "I'll call Haley and see if she wants to go"
And of course they weren't ready when they planned, Nathan was putting the things in the car complaining, "I don't know why they set a time, they are never ready on time and I have to wait" Brooke looked at him and said, "You know Nate you should be used to this by now"
Rachel laughed and took another bag to put it in the car, and he said, "and another thing, we're going for a few days and it seems that you're moving there! Why all the bags?" he looked at them and before they could answer he said, "Yeah, I know .. you have to have choices, blah blah! Let's just go already"
They agreed and Rachel said, "What about Haley?" Brooke sat in the car and said, "I called her and she said she couldn't go, she has to do a lot of things for the tour, but said for us to go and have fun! Oh and don't forget to call her" Rachel agreed and Nathan got into the car and they drove away.
Lucas was helping his mother at the Cafe and she said, "You know when Brooke gets back Lucas?" Lucas looked at her and said, "Gets beck from where?" She looked and said, "I called her to invite her for dinner and she said she couldn't today because she was leave town with Nathan and Rachel, but when she got back she would love to"
Lucas sat down and said, "I don't know mom I didn't even knew that they were going away" Karen sighed and said, "I thought you said you were going to fix what you did Lucas" before Lucas could answer Haley came in and said, "Hey guys, how are you?"
Karen smiled and said, "Hi Haley, I'm fine" Haley smiled and said, "Dou you know the sex Karen? I forgot to ask you" Karen put her hand on her belly and said, "Yeah, it's a girl" Haley hugged her and said, "Aww congratulations Karen"
Lucas interrupted the moment and said, "Hales, you know something about Brooke leaving town?" Haley looked at him and said, "Of course I know Luke, she is my best friend, she, Nate and Rachel went on a little trip. I couldn't go because I have a lot to do here"
Lucas looked at her and said, "Oh, where did they go?" Karen looked at them and Haley said, "wow Luke, you never showed that much interest on her before" before Lucas could say anything Karen said, "So Haley.. you wanted to talk to me?"
Haley nodded and said, "Yeah, I wanted to let you know that I'm going on tour soon and I didn't want to leave you in short notice so.." Karen said, "Thank you Haley, and good luck don't forget us when become famous. When are you leaving?"
Haley laughed and said, "I'm going in a few days, but wanted to let you know soon, and I will never forget you Karen" Karen smiled and said, "Okay, let me know when know for sure so I could say a proper goodbye" Haley agreed and Karen said, "I have to go, I see you at home Lucas, bye Haley" Lucas agreed, Haley said bye and she went away.
Lucas and Haley sat on the table and Lucas said, "Sorry" Haley looked at him and said, "I think you never said that word so much in your life" he looked and said, "I know" Haley said, "We need to talk, you and me.. one of our talks, like before" Lucas agreed and said, "Later today?" Haley nodded and said, "Sure, see you later then" and she left the Cafe.
Nathan, Rachel and Brooke were in the car for more than four hours and had already stopped three times when Brooke groaned again, Nathan looked in the rearview mirror at Rachel who was in the back seat and said nothing.
Brooke groaned again and Nathan said, "I have to stop again, don't I?" Brooke agreed and said, "Yes.. but it's not my fault! It's your nephew and Lucas for getting me pregnant! I can't stand to have to pee all the time"
Rachel leaned against her sit and said, "At this rate when we get there the baby will be born already" Nathan laughed and stopped the car at the gas station and Brooke ran to the bathroom.
She came back and said, "I swear it was the last time" Nathan and Rachel looked at each other and said, "That was what you said last time"
Almost nine hours and seven stops later they arrived, Nathan looked at Brooke and said, "Did you called Jake and told him that we were coming?" Brooke rang the bell and said, "No" Before Nathan could say anything else door opened and Brooke jumped up to Jake's arms, he laughed and said, "Brooke, when will you learn to call and let me know that you're coming?"
Brooke laughed and said, "I like to surprise you, so surprise!" Jake laughed and said, "You're lucky that me and Jenny were missing you already" Brooke smiled and said, "And this time brought more surprises"
She pointed to Rachel and Nathan that he hadn't seen yet, Jake smiled, went to Nathan and said, "Nate! Hey, long time no see! How are you..dealing with this crazy one here I know is not easy!" Brooke said, "Hey!" Nathan laughed and said, "I'm okay Jake, thank God you're here, I can't take anymore girl talk"
They laughed and he turned to Rachel and said, "And you must be the famous Rachel, nice to meet you" Rachel smiled and said, "the pleasure is all my sexy" Nathan laughed and Jake looked at him and said, "Brooke two?"
Nathan agreed and said, "I don't know how I'm still alive" they laughed, Jenny came running to the door and said, "Booke!" Brooke turned and grabbed her and said, "Jenny, I miss you so much" Jenny hugged her and said, "me too auntie Booke, you took too long"
Brooke smiled and Jake said, "I told you she was missing you" Brooke looked at her and said, "Sorry girly, it won't happen again, and this time I brought two friends with me for you to meet!" Jenny smiled and Brooke said, "This is Rachel, you can call her auntie Rach"
Jenny gave Rachel a kiss on the cheek and said, "Hi auntie Rach" Rachel smiled and said, "hey there cuttie" Brooke turned to Nathan and said, "And this here is Nathan, you can call him Uncle Nate"
Jenny laughed and said, "He's cute" Brooke laughed and Jake said, "you see what you did Brooke! Oh my little girl" they laughed and Brooke said, "I know, he really is, isn't he?" Jenny agreed and kissed him on the cheek and said, "hi Uncle Nate"
Nathan looked at her and said, "Hey Jenny" She reached out and she jumped off from Brooke's arms to Nathan's and said, "Come on! I want to show you my room uncle Nate" they laughed and Rachel smiled and said "It seems that someone has a little crush already" Jake shook his head laughing and they entered the house.
