Brooke sat in the middle of her new living room sorting through a box of pictures and smiled. She couldn't believe that she was now living in Sacramento and Nathan was finally in the NBA playing for the Kings, she picked up the picture of her and Nathan on their wedding day and smiled. 6 years ago Brooke never would have thought that she would be living in Sacramento and married to Nathan Scott but she wouldn't change anything for the world, even though losing the baby still hurts her to this day.
She stood up and set the picture on the mantle and stood back looking at the rest of the pictures that sat on the mantle. The first one was of graduation and the group with Peyton, Luke, Nathan, Rachel, Mouth, Skills, Bevon, and of course Whitey, the next one was of Nathan and Brooke getting married with Luke and Peyton, Karen, Deb, and Brooke's parents, another one was of Brooke and Peyton with Peyton's daughter Jessica and then of Nathan and Jessica, the next one was right after Nathan's first college game, then after Duke won the championship 2 years later, Brooke's graduation from North Carolina State with Luke, Peyton's graduation from Design school, and then Nathan's graduation, then just random pictures taken throughout their college years. She smiled and walked into the kitchen where Buddy the old and faithful beagle was sleeping next to the door. Brooke didn't know how she would've handled some of the nights she spent alone without Buddy to lay with her.
It was hard for Brooke some nights when Nathan was away and she was at home doing her own college thing. Somehow she had come out of it a better person with a business degree and now had a thriving clothing business that she and Peyton ran with Peyton living in LA with Luke and Brooke up in Sacramento. It was going to work out fine, at least Brooke hoped. She made her way into the kitchen and found Buddy lying near the back door and smiled as she rubbed the dog's head and he perked up when he heard the front door opening before taking off as fast as he could since he was almost 7 years old.
Nathan walked in the front door sore and just wanted to crash on the couch. He smiled when he heard Buddy's paws on the wood floor coming towards him and he picked up the surprising light beagle and carried him into the living room. Nathan crashed on the couch and rubbed Buddy's ears as he laid there waiting for Brooke to come in. Sure enough, Brooke walked in with a glass of water and aspirin for Nathan and handed them to him as she picked up his head and sat down letting his head fall into her lap.
"How was practice?"
"I'm so tired."
"Well you have had some time off."
"I know but I can't be that out of shape." Nathan replied making Brooke tilt his head so he was looking at her.
"Really how much did you work out the past month?"
"Enough."
"Okay, what else is new?"
"I have a photo thing for my trading cards tomorrow."
"That sounds like fun."
"Yeah, how was work today?"
"It was chaotic. I thought I was going to cry in the middle of my office, they screwed up a whole thing of the new t-shirts and the we still have the ads to shoot and Peyton's on vacation so I have both offices calling me and it's so stressful."
"Well maybe you should take some time off when Peyton comes back."
"I just took time off remember, to go on an anniversary trip with you."
"Oh yeah." Nathan smirked remembering the amazing time they spent in Hawaii. It was like a 2nd honeymoon for them and he didn't remember them leaving the hotel room that much. Brooke watched Nathan drift off into his little world and lightly smacked his shoulder bringing his mind back to a PG area. "That was a great trip."
"I just wish I would've seen more of Maui."
"Oh shut up." He replied sitting up and facing her. "You know that you loved every minute of it." He leaned forward so their lips were almost touching. "I know I did." She leaned forward and gave him a quick kiss.
"When have I ever complained?" He laughed and put his arm around her pulling her closer to him. "Have you gotten your schedule yet?"
"Nope, one of the guys said that we would get them tomorrow, why?"
"Just wondered." Nathan looked down at her and wondered why she all of a sudden wanted to know when he got his schedule. Chalking it up to Brooke's curiosity Nathan rested his head against hers and turned on the TV.
Brooke was perfectly content with staying like that for the rest of the night but off in the other room she heard her phone going off and contemplated not answering it but decided that it might be Peyton so she got up and went to answer the phone.
"Hello?"
"Brooke, its Dr. Holiday."
"Oh hi."
"I got your results from your test today."
"Oh good." She smiled as the doctor told her the results and hung up the phone before running out to the living room in front of Nathan.
"Who was on the phone?"
"I have something to tell you."
"Okay."
"I went to the doctor today because you know I've been feeling pretty worn out and stuff and guess what?"
"What?" Nathan asked somewhat alarmed that something might be really wrong.
"I'm pregnant." Nathan looked up from his shoes with a shocked look on his face.
"You're pregnant?" He asked making sure he heard her right. She nodded her head as he shot up and picked her up twirling her around in the air. "We're having a baby!" He exclaimed kissing Brooke over and over. "I have to call Luke."
"Wait I wanna do it!" Brooke called racing Nathan to the phone. She cut him off and grabbed the phone sticking her tongue out at him. He huffed playfully and sat down in the chair pulling her into his lap. Brooke kissed his cheek and dialed Luke's cell number her happiness growing with each ring. Finally after the 3rd ring Luke finally answered.
"Hello?"
"Luke it's Brooke."
"Oh hey what's up?"
"Um…I was wondering if you could get Peyton and put me on speaker phone."
'Um, okay." He replied and the line was silent as Luke went into the other room to grab Peyton. "Alright we're here, what's up?"
"I'm pregnant!" Brooke exclaimed and Nathan heard Peyton exclaiming over the phone. Nathan smiled and Brooke put them on speaker phone."
"That's so amazing Brooke."
"It's about damn time Nathan did his job." Peyton joked making Brooke laugh.
"Hey! I've been doing my job all along."
"Well congratulations guys. Now we have to celebrate so we'll fly up there to see you guys this weekend."
"It's a deal."
"So we'll see you guys later."
"Bye Uncle Luke and Aunt Peyton and give Jessica a kiss from Auntie Brooke." Nathan laughed and kissed Brooke's cheek as they sat there. Brooke looked at Nathan and lightly rested her head on his shoulder before calling her parents and Karen before Nathan called Deb to let her know and after many promises to come visit Brooke fell back against the couch exhausted.
"Hey order in some take out and have a movie night." Nathan suggested knowing that Brooke was too tired to go in the kitchen and actually make something. She nodded and Nathan ordered them some pizza. That night both fell asleep with smiles on their faces that they were finally going to have a child.
