Character(s): Brooke. Mentions of Haley, Peyton, Lydia, Jamie, Sawyer, Julian, Chloe.
Disclaimer: I don't own OTH.
Time set: right after 8x18.

AN: Thanks for all of your reviews:) I haven't got many drabbles left (three to be exact) so this whole updating-every-day thing isn't going to last much longer. Now it will just be when I get inspiration. Believe me, it's incredibly difficult to try and fit someone's emotions while setting the scene in 108 words. This, for example, was really difficult. I rewrote half of it when I realised how crap it was. So hopefully the next ones good. The next drabble is Mia. Please review! Suggestions are welcome, but no AU couples (JL were a possibility, they could actually happen, but people like Lucas and Haley would never possibly happen). x


She stumbled out of the hospital room, trying to catch her breath.

Peyton has a baby.

Haley has two babies.

Brooke can't even get one.

Having a baby was one of the things she just knew that she wanted. She wanted to be married to an amazing man, check. She wanted to sell her designs, check. But having a child would fill the hole in her heart that she's had ever since she got the false pregnancy test in high school. Having a baby would make her believe that happiness was actually a destination.

Now Chloe has a baby, too.

Brooke doesn't have a baby.
