Episode 2 Ch.3 It's My Party

Lily is walking in the airport.

"Lily…" Her name is being called. "Lily…"

She turns around hoping to see Spencer, but instead she sees Aidan running towards her.

"Aidan, what are you doing here?"

"I love you," he held her hands. "I want to be with you. I have an interview for a job in Tennessee."

"You want to move to Tennessee with me?"

"I want to be wherever you are. I love you."

"I love you too." She leaned in and kissed him. She wanted someone to fight for her. She wanted it to be Spencer, but she loved Aidan too. He was good to her, and she knew he always would be.

"Lily, earth to Lily…" Aidan called out to her. She looks up at him. "Which shirt should I wear?" He held up a green shirt and a bright blue shirt.

"I like you in green."

"Then green it is." Aidan smiled at her. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine."

"Shouldn't you be getting dressed for the party?"

"Maybe we just shouldn't go."

"It's for you."

"Yeah but its not really that big of a deal. We could stay in." She started kissing him and rubbing her hands up and down his bare chest.

"As tempting as that sounds...." he kissed her. "We have to go to TRIC."

She sighed, "Okay…I'll get ready, but you could join me in the shower."

"I just showered."

She grabbed his hand, "You can shower again." She laughed and pulled him into the bathroom. "You can never be too clean."

Hunter sits on his couch while Nathan looks around the one room apartment. "This isn't a very good place to raise a baby."

"I'll figure it out."

"A baby needs to grow up in a two parent family. I'm sure that there is a couple out there that would love to raise your child."

"I don't care. I loved this baby from the moment I found out about it. I'm not going to abandon it."

"You wouldn't be abandoning it. You have too much at stake. You are only sixteen. A baby is a big responsibility, and I doubt that you are ready for that kind of responsibility." Nathan raised his voice. "You don't know what it takes to raise a child."

"Yeah well lately you don't either." Hunter yelled at him. "I think you should leave."

"We need to finish this conversation. I have been a damn good father to you. You have a roof over your head."

"Brooke has raised us. You haven't cared about us. All you care about is your stupid basketball team." Hunter grabbed his wallet. "Please lock up when you leave."

Nathan shook his head. He did not appreciate his son speaking to him in that manner. He was wrong. He was a good father.

Peyton comes out of the bathroom wearing a beautiful black cocktail dress.

"Whoa," Lucas says from his bed. "My wife is hot."

"Yeah well your wife is late. I have got to get to the club."

"I could go with you."

"I don't think so."

"Come on Peyt I'm sick of sitting in this bed."

"Well maybe next week after your doctor's appointment you can start sitting on the couch."

"You know this sucks. I feel like a baby." Lucas pouted.

"Well now you know how I felt when I was on bed rest."

"So this is payback?"

She shook her head. "No…this is for your health…I don't want to lose you Lucas."

He nodded his head. "So who is babysitting me tonight?"

She gave him a look. "Andy…" He knew her oh so well.

"And what about the girls?"

"I'm taking them to the studio. The nanny agreed to watch them." They had kept the nursery up and changed it into something that was much more like a play room for the kids.

"What about Charlie and Savannah?"

"They are staying with Michelle tonight while Andy is here. Michelle is going to have her hands full with Drew and Carter so Savannah and Charlie offered to help."

"Our Savannah and Charlie?" Lucas questioned.

"Yeah…I'm sure they will get into more trouble than Drew and Carter, but hey at least they have somewhere to go."

Lucas smiled. Charlie and Savannah were something else, but they were both good kids.

Peyton leaned down and kissed him. "I love you Lucas."

"I love you too."

He touched her face. "Are you okay?"

"What?"

"You're face is a little clammy. Are you feeling alright?"

"I'm fine Lucas…I've really got to go though. I'm gonna be late." She gave him one more kiss, and walked out of the room. Lucas was really beginning to worry about her. He knew that she had to be stressed.

McKenzie and Laura are sitting on McKenzie's bed. "I can't believe you are going to have a baby."

"I know. I'm the little sister. I'm not supposed to be the one that's pregnant."

"Everything is going to be okay."

"Yeah I hope so. Hunter is going to take me to court. It's going to be really weird if he gets custody and I have to watch him raise the child that I don't want."

"I don't think he'll get custody besides he'll probably drop it once he sees that it is for the best."

"I hope so…" McKenzie looked at a picture of her and Hunter. They were the real thing and a baby had to ruin it. "How long are you staying?"

"I was able to get a couple of weeks off considering I'm sleeping with my boss. So I'm hoping I'll be around when the baby is born."

"Me too…I'm gonna need you when I give the baby up."

Laura hugged her sister.

Nathan walks into Lucas' bedroom. "Oh wow who are you?" Lucas joked.

"Ha, ha…" Nathan sat down on the bed.

"What's wrong?"

"My son thinks that I am a horrible father. My wife barely speaks to me. Oh and Isabella was arrested."

"Whoa…that's not good."

"I don't know what to do."

"I think you have to make a decision about your life Nathan."

"I love coaching."

"Do you love your wife and family?"

"Yeah…I mean…I'm scared that Brooke and I just aren't meant to be together."

Lucas is surprised to hear this. He always thought that Brooke and Nathan were perfect for each other.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………

Brooke is sitting on the airplane. She thinks back to fight she had with Isabella.

"You are going to college."

"I'm a model mom. I don't need college."

"Yes you do. Your modeling career isn't secure. You need a backup plan."

"I don't need one. I can model for Clothes over Bros for as long as I want."

"No you can't because you're fired."

Isabella can't believe it. "You can't fire me. I'm your daughter."

"When you get out of college you can have your job back."

"I'm not going to college." She yelled back. "I'm gonna move to New York and I'll find something there. I don't need you."

"Isabella," Brooke yelled as Isabella walked out of the store.

Brooke is crying. She didn't know where she went wrong.

……………………………………………………………………………………………

Keith walks into TRIC. Jamie is practicing one of his songs.

"What are you doing here?"

"I thought I could help you set up."

"Thanks man…But you are late. I've already gotten everything set up."

"Oh…"

"I am glad that you are here though. There is something I have to tell you."

"What's up?"

"Jacey is back in town, and she has a boyfriend."

Keith shakes his head. "I guess everyone has to move on. How long is she here?"

"I think she's moving back for good."

Keith shrugs.

Keith and Jacey are lying in bed together. "Brooke offered me a job. It's gonna be like we are partners."

"Wow…that's great."

"She wants me to go to New York."

"Oh…well I'll go with you."

"I don't want you too."

"What?"

"I want to do this on my own."

"I don't understand."

"I love you and I always will, but I need to find myself before we can be together."

"I can't believe you are breaking up with me."

"I'm sorry…I want to be with you, but I have to do this alone."

"I can't believe this. This doesn't make sense."

"Maybe one day it will." Jacey got up from the bed and grabbed her clothes. "I know one day it will."

"It never will."

Jacey was sitting in her bedroom looking at a picture of Keith. She didn't really understand her decision either, and she never really would.

So a little more was revealed. Slowly but surely things will get there.

Please let me know what you thought. I love reading what you guys have to say. And reviews make my day. Oh I rhymed...yeah go me..
