A/N: I'm so sorry it has been so long since I've updated. Not only was I trying to get "It's Perfect," started, but I got sick Christmas night with a bad stomach virus and am still getting over it. So it's been a very stressful two weeks! But here is the next chapter for you guys! ANd I would still like ideas for baby names too! Hope everyone had a great Christmas and a happy New Year! And special thanks to Morgan for everything! This chapter wouldn't be up if it wasn't for her! Thanks!

Brooke and Nathan both almost passed out when they heard the next exchange between the two.

"I'm pregnant," Haley said loudly. Lucas' eyes went as wide as they possibly could. They both heard a gasp and realized that Brooke and Nathan had heard her confession. Haley silently cursed herself before looking back at Lucas, trying to determine his reaction.

"You're joking right?" he asked in confusion. As soon as he said the words, Haley's eyes filled up with tears and she ran away from him as fast as she could.

Peyton, who was standing by the entrance to the school and had not heard Haley's confession, was more than slightly confused when Haley flew past her and ran back into the school. After waiting a moment and realizing no one was going to offer up the information, she quickly strode back over to Brooke and Nathan, Lucas only a few feet away.

"Okay, anyone want to tell me what the hell just happened?" she asked, noticing the worried looks on Nathan and Lucas' faces, and the shocked expression on Brooke's. Still, no one answered her. "Guys!" she shouted, gaining everyone's attention. Nathan and Lucas immediately looked at each other.

"Obviously it's not mine since you're the only one that's had sex with her lately!" Nathan said quietly, going to sit down next to Lucas on the hood of Peyton's car. "Are you sure? I mean, we always used protection! Always!" Lucas stammered. "Well, it obviously didn't work. Go after her you idiot!" Brooke exclaimed, pushing him off of Peyton's car.

"Brooke, I'm sorry. I didn't know this was going to happen," Lucas apologized. "Luke, yes, I'm still mad. But what's done is done," she told him. He gave her a small smile before turning around and running towards the school. Peyton took one look at his retreating figure before turning back to her two best friends. "Okay, I'm going to count to ten in my head, and someone better start explaining before I'm done!" Peyton warned them. Before she could get to three, Brooke started explaining the situation.

"Okay, so Lucas and I broke up before English. And you were there for what happened during English. Then Nathan came out here to tell me the whole note thing and you saw everyone's reactions. And then Nate and I were talking and heard Haley tell Lucas she was pregnant. Next thing I know, she fled and here we are!" Brooke said, trying her best to leave out the explanation of what happened between her and Nathan. But by the look on Peyton's face, she knew she would have to explain that later.

"Okay, this officially sucks. I'm going home!" Nathan told them, starting to walk towards his car. "Nate, you do know you left all your stuff in class, right?" Peyton asked. "Yeah, I know. I've done it before. Mr. Harris just gives it to Whitey to give to me at practice. You guys staying?" he asked them. Brooke and Peyton took one look at the school before jumping in Peyton's car. Instead of walking to his car, Nathan just jumped into the backseat of her car, deciding to go with them to Peyton's house.

Lucas had stayed at school that day trying to get Haley to talk to him. She had refused, saying she needed time to cool down. After school was over, he decided to skip practice, giving Whitey some lame excuse, and headed home. When he pulled up to his house, he saw Haley sitting on the porch outside of his room.

"You gonna talk to me Hales?" he asked, sitting down on the steps next to her. "I don't really want to right now. I'm still kind of upset. But we do have some things to discuss. Lucas, I'm pregnant!" she cried. He immediately took her in his arms and let her cry for a moment.

"Haley? Listen, I know in the end that this is all up to you. That it's your decision. But I want you to know that I love you and I will support you in whatever you decide. If you want to keep the baby or not, I will still be here and I will still love you!" Lucas told her. "I love you too Luke. And I'm keeping the baby. I can't get an abortion! And adoption makes me uncomfortable, giving my baby to a complete stranger! No, we're going to do this. We are going to have a baby. Now we just have to tell our parents," she whispered with wide eyes.

"Okay, don't stress yourself out about this! We will just sit them down separately and explain that somehow we went from best friends to falling in love. And that we were careful, but sometimes these things just happen. That's all we can do, okay?" Lucas explained. Haley just nodded her head. "Let's go inside, it's getting kind of chilly out here!" she said, rubbing her hands up and down her arms.

At Peyton's house:

Brooke, Peyton, and Nathan had all been lounging in the living room watching TV all day. This was a normal routine for them when they skipped school, and only because Peyton's dad was never there to catch them skipping. Peyton and Brooke would always create a makeshift bed on the living room floor that they would lay on and Nathan would always take the couch.

"I think we need more blankets! This floor is still kind of hard! Brooke, you want to help me get some more blankets?" Peyton asked, heading for the stairs. Brooke jumped up and followed her, flashing Nathan a quick smile.

"Okay, now that I finally got you away from Nate, what the hell happened between you two?" Peyton demanded. "Ah! You said you wanted more blankets! You sneak!" Brooke complained. "No, I really do want more blankets!" Peyton laughed, grabbing two blankets from her closet, "I also want to know what happened! And you know you can't lie to me!"

"It's nothing Peyton, really. Just a onetime thing that's never going to happen again," Brooke said quietly, trying to busy herself with one of Peyton's music albums. "What's never going to happen again?" Peyton demanded. Brooke rolled her eyes and walked to stand in front of Peyton whispering, "We hooked up."

"What?" Peyton shouted. "SHH! Look, you can't tell Nathan I told you. We swore we wouldn't tell anyone! It was at his mom's house, we went over there to go in the hot tub. And one thing led to another and we hooked up. It was a mistake! I swear!" Brooke explained, talking as fast as she could to get it over with, hoping that would keep the truth out of her eyes. She didn't want to admit that she didn't think it was a mistake. That it was the best moment she has had in such a long time. For the first time since the school shooting, she had felt like someone still wanted her.

"A mistake? Brookie, you're a horrible liar!" Peyton giggled. One look at Brooke's face and Peyton could tell she was lying. She could tell that Brooke had thoroughly enjoyed what happened between her and Nathan. That she was just scared to admit it because Nathan is her best friend. The one thing she couldn't believe was that Nathan and Brooke had managed to keep this from her. They never kept anything from each other, even things as big as this.

"What? I'm not lying P.," Brooke tried to tell her. "Brooke, you can tell me whatever lie you want, but I'm still your best friend. And I know you don't think that was a mistake. You want to know what I think? I think you're falling for Nathan Scott!" Peyton smirked, walking out of the room with the blankets. Brooke stood frozen for a moment. Falling for Nathan Scott? There was absolutely no way Peyton was right. Nathan was her best friend! The one person, besides Peyton herself, that had always been there for Brooke. One of the only people to know all her deepest, darkest secrets. She couldn't be falling for Nathan. Could she?

Brooke decided to join them back downstairs, walking like a zombie until she reached the bed her and Peyton had made on the living room floor. Lying down next to Peyton, she pulled the blanket over her and tried to focus on the television. She didn't dare sneak a look at Nathan, scared for what she might think when she saw him. Peyton cast a glance at Brooke's confused face and knew she had made Brooke think about what she had said. Before she could ask if Brooke was okay, Nathan jumped up from the couch and lay down next to Brooke, squishing her in-between him and Peyton.

"What's the matter Brookie Cookie?" he asked, wrapping his arm around her, making her lay her head on his shoulder. "Nothing, Natey," she smiled up at him, "Nothing at all."

When, in fact, everything was wrong with her. Peyton's words had really made her start to evaluate her friendship with Nathan. She started recalling every moment they had spent together since that day in the hot tub. She realized all the little things he had done, all the quiet comments he thought she hadn't heard, all the sweet gestures. It was at that moment that she realized that her best friend was in love with her. And it was also in that moment that she realized she was falling in love with her best friend. Peyton was right!
