Peyton was sitting in her room doing her make-up when Jake barged in holding Jenny with a frown on his face.
"What's wrong?" Peyton asked immediately standing up and took the little girl from Jake and took her into her own arms.
Jake shook his head as he plopped down on Peyton's bed and shook his head. "You're never going to believe who called me and who is back in Tree Hill." Jake said with his head held in his hands.
Peyton frowned and put Jenny on her hip and rubbed her back. "What? Who? Jake, what are you even talking about?"
"Fucking, Nicki." Jake said bitterly as he shook his head. "She's back and she wants to spend time with her. She even had the guts to say Jenny was her daughter."
Peyton's jaw dropped and she stared at Jake. "Wait a minute, Nicki is back in Tree Hill? I thought you dealt with her?"
"Partially, I got temporary custody over Jenny because of Nicki's drug and alcohol problems. She attended AA meetings for about a year and I guess now she's fit to be a parent." Jake said disbelievingly.
"You can't let her take Jenny." Peyton told him seriously. "She's not fit to be a parent. Not at all."
"I know." Jake said somberly and looked up at her. "But how am I supposed to go up against her? She has a nice paying job and she has an apartment down in Savannah. Even if I lose and we have visitation, on her part, I might have to go where ever she wants me to."
Peyton sighed and sat down next to Jake frowning. "Let's ditch prom." Peyton said after a while. "We should go to the courthouse and see if there's anyway you can get full custody. There's gotta be something we can do, right?"
Jake shrugged. "We shouldn't skip prom Peyton, or you shouldn't. This isn't your problem."
"Has it occurred to you that I love this baby just as much as you do?" Peyton asked him and put a hand on his shoulder. "Jake, I'm in this. I'll do whatever I have to do."
Jake looked up at her and gave her a grateful smile. "Thanks, Peyt."
Brooke was walking in the parking lot while holding Lucas' hand and had to suppress the groan that wanted to come out. High heels and pregnant women didn't go together. "Lucas, my feet hurt." She whined as her other hand subconsciously came up and rubbed her rounded stomach.
Lucas frowned and kissed her head. "I'm sorry, Pretty Girl. I told you not to wear the heels, that you'd be regretting it later, and you totally ripped my head and told me you were gonna do whatever you wanted."
Brooke frowned at him, guiltily. "I'm sorry." She said quietly and looked around at everybody as they entered the school. "God, I hate it whenever people stare at my stomach. I'm not the only pregnant girl here! They should go bother Haley for a change."
Lucas chuckled. "It's because they don't get a rise out of her. She doesn't care."
"I don't care. I just don't like that they stare at me like I'm a failure and my life is over. I've always wanted to have kids. Sure it might be a little sooner than planned, but I'm happy."
Lucas smiled down at her and led her to her locker. "I'm glad you're happy, because I'm happy too."
"You better be." Brooke warned as she opened her locker. "You have no choice but to be. You're not allowed to leave."
Lucas raised his brows at her and shut her locker after she got her books and they walked to his locker. "I wasn't planning on it."
Brooke looked up at him with glassy eyes, another thing she hated. Ever since she got pregnant she had been so emotional lately. But she looked over to Lucas' locker and she saw Haley and Nathan kissed softly by their locker and Brooke coughed loudly, causing them to break apart. "You already knocked her up, I don't think there's a need for that." Brooke said grinning at them.
Haley rolled her eyes. "And look who's talking."
But Brooke looked around with a frown on her face. "Have you guys seen Peyton?" She asked as she looked for a specific head of blonde hair.
Haley shook her head. "I haven't spoken to her since she was helping Chris with his apartment."
Brooke sighed and leaned up and kissed Lucas' cheek. "I'll see you guys later." She said before making her way towards a locker at the end of the next hall.
She saw the face she was looking for a plastered a smile on her face and walked over.
"Wow, captain of the cheerleading team gets knocked up but a player on the basketball team. Will wonders never cease to amaze me?" Chris Keller asked condescendingly and he smirked at her.
Brooke narrowed her eyes at him, her smile gone. So much for trying to be polite. "Shut up, and tell me where Peyton is."
"If she's your best friend aren't you supposed to know?"
"I haven't spoken to her since you got your apartment, she's been busy. Now answer my question. I need her to tell me what time she'll be at my place tonight."
Chris shut his locker and finally made eye contact with Brooke. "No I don't know where she is. I mean, I thought she would be in today because of prom and everything but I guess not."
Brooke groaned and stomped her foot lightly. "Man you are the worst boyfriend ever." She moaned at him.
Chris rolled his eyes. "Please, like you never told Lucas where you were going?" He asked as he walked away.
And before she could stop the thought in her head she muttered, "I was never cheating on him."
Bevin was in her study hall when she felt her phone vibrating and she answered it quietly.
"Hey." Jake's smooth voice came over.
Bevin smiled slightly. "Hey, where are you?"
Jake sighed and looked over at Peyton who was driving and she nodded encouragingly. "I'm actually leaving for a bit."
"Wait, what? Why didn't you tell me?" Bevin managed past the shock. "Are you leaving now? Do you want me to come?"
Jake's eyes widened. "No, no, sorry I already left. I'm on my way to a courthouse, Nicki is getting involved again."
"What? Why are you going there?"
"I need to make sure she doesn't take Jenny away. I don't want to drag you into this and make her see you as public enemy number one." Jake explained.
Bevin scoffed. "What? You think I'm afraid of her or something?"
"No." Jake said firmly. "But I am. The last thing I want is for you to get hurt."
Bevin frowned but saw the teach start to make her way into the room. "Fine, whatever, just tell me if my date to prom is still a go?"
Jake sighed and shook his head. "I don't know, if I'm back in time then yeah. Believe me Bevin, there is nothing more I want than to spend my night with you."
Bevin sighed and nodded. "Alright, fine. Just, don't think this is me letting you off the hook. This is me hanging up the phone hoping everything goes okay and hoping I don't get detention for talking on the phone."
Jake laughed softly. "Alright, I got it. If I don't make it to prom I'll be over at your house some time tonight."
"Alright, good luck."
Rachel was walking through the halls when she was suddenly pulled into the janitors closet and she frowned.
"What the hell is going on?" Nathan asked her.
"Beats the hell out of me. All's I know, is Dan knows what happened between us when Haley was in New York and you guys were going to get your marriage annulled." Rachel told him and at his disbelieving stare she raised her brows at him. "Why would I try to sabotage my own relationship?"
Nathan frowned and sighed as he looked away from her. "Please tell me you have the tape."
Rachel released a breath and looked up at him. "I thought you had it."
Nathan's eyes widened and he punched the door, inches away from Rachel's head. "Fuck."
Lucas walked outside for lunch and saw Brooke sitting by herself at one of the tables and he went over to her.
"Hey, Pretty Girl. What's up?" Lucas asked as he put his arm around her shoulders.
Brooke sighed and leaned her head against his chest. "My mother has been leaving me voicemails." Brooke said as she threw her phone on the table. "I knew it was a bad idea to ask her for money."
Lucas kissed her head. "I'm sorry. What does she wanna talk to you about?"
Brooke shrugged. "I don't know. Keeps on saying her and my dad are going to be in Tree Hill for graduation. They want to meet you, formally."
Lucas laughed and looked down at her the same time she looked up at him. "Well that doesn't sound like a great night, but it was bound to happen eventually. I'm just glad it's happening before the baby is born or the wedding."
"We are not getting married until I can fit into my wedding dress." Brooke said tired. "I want to be beautiful on that day. And I don't wanna get married right out of high school. That's so Naley."
"You okay?" Lucas asked worried. "You seem a bit off."
Brooke nodded against him. "I'm fine, I'm just exhausted. I just wanna go home and go to bed."
Lucas frowned and stood up taking her with him. "So come on, I'll drop you off by my mom. She's home."
Brooke smiled and held his hand as he led her to the parking lot. "Thanks."
"It's fine. I'll just tell her to call the school, I don't want you to over-exert yourself." Lucas told her seriously as they neared his car.
"I know. I'm sorry, I just don't wanna drop out now if I'm popping this kid out in like three months." Brooke told him as he opened her door for her.
Lucas frowned as he got into the drivers seat. "I know you don't want too, but I want you and my kid to be okay."
"We are Lucas. I have another appointment with Mencia in a week and she'll let me know if anything is wrong."
"I just don't want anything to happen. I mean, we don't even know if the baby has HCM, we don't need anymore problems."
Karen looked at her son more than amused as he constantly fussed over Brooke and she looked at the clock and started shooing him out. "Alright, Lucas. It's fine. I'm pregnant, she's pregnant, I'm sure we'll be great."
"Maybe I should just stay." Lucas said quietly as he watched Brooke shift uncomfortably on the couch.
"No you shouldn't." Karen told him firmly. "You did the right thing by bringing Brooke here. But you're more than fine, go back to school."
Lucas reluctantly agreed and kissed Brooke good-bye and then he, finally, left. Karen went into the kitchen and came back out with some hot home-made soup and handed it to Brooke with a smile. "I know whenever I start feeling like you are some soup helps me."
Brooke smiled. "Thanks." She said as she took the soup. "Lucas has been amazing, but there are just some days where I don't feel well, and nothing helps."
"That's what being pregnant is. Might as well rest up now, you want to have some fun tonight, don't you?" Karen asked.
Brooke sighed and shrugged. "I don't even know if I want to go at this point. I just feel so fat and tired all the time."
Karen frowned at her and sat down next to her. "I know that feeling, but sweetheart, you're still young. You're pregnant at eighteen, believe me that's something I know about. This is your last real chance at doing something that's a normal teenage thing."
"I know." Brooke said but then looked at Karen. "But my best friend is somewhere near a courthouse right now, trying to fight for custody for a baby that isn't even her's and I've always imagined us going to prom together."
Karen raised her eyebrows in shock. "Peyton is fighting for custody for Jenny?"
Brooke nodded. "Nicki is back in the picture."
Karen let out a dry laugh and got herself comfortable. "Why don't you tell me everything else I've missed out on."
Nathan was sitting with Haley on the gym floor during the class. They had gym together and because of her condition she wasn't exactly allowed to participate.
"You feeling better than you did this morning?" Nathan asked concerned as he pushed some hair away from her face.
Haley nodded and smiled at him. "Nathan, I'm fine, I promise. Everybody gets morning sickness."
Nathan scoffed. "Yeah, morning sickness. Not I'm going to purge everything from my body until I can't move for the rest of the morning."
Haley laughed and turned his face towards her and gave him a quick kiss. "You're such a dramatic."
"I just don't want anything to happen. I don't want you sick."
"Nathan your sweet, but you're so close to switching from nice and caring husband to over-protective and over-bearing husband." Haley warned him.
Brooke was standing behind Haley doing her hair and smiled slightly at Haley through the mirror.
"What?" Haley asked smiling at her through the mirror.
Brooke shrugged and shook her head as she continued curling her hair. "It's just it's prom night, Peyton isn't here, we're pregnant and I really don't feel well. Like at all. Yet, this is our last big thing, you know?"
"I know. But how are you feeling? You're alright, right?" Haley asked worried.
Brooke shrugged but nodded. "I guess. I go to my doctor next week I'll see how everything is then. But onto totally fun stuff, how is the Naley baby doing?"
Haley smiled and put a hand on her rounded stomach and smiled. "Great. We should be able to find out if it's a boy a girl in a couple more weeks."
Brooke pouted. "Lucky. I have to wait like another month. And then I can prove Lucas wrong about us having a girl and I will totally rub in his face we are having a boy."
Haley chuckled and rolled her eyes. "I actually was kind of surprised when you told me you wanted a boy instead of a girl."
Brooke shrugged. "I guess because everybody would think, 'Oh of course she would want a girl! She's Brooke Davis.' and that's not what I want at all. I want a little boy who I can run around the yard with and Luke can teach him basketball. I don't want a daughter just yet."
"That's sweet." Haley told her and touched her curls once they were finished. "Wow, Brooke. This is amazing."
Brooke shrugged and smirked. "Well, I wouldn't let my best friend go to the prom looking hideous. Especially when they're already calling us every name under the sun."
Rachel was nervous as she put on her dress. Cooper wasn't going to her Prom with her and he left that morning, something that she was hurt by, but she didn't complain. He had more important things to do other than bring her to her stupid Prom. She wouldn't even be going if it weren't for Mouth.
He was so sweet. He had asked her if Cooper was taking her to Prom and she told him no. He asked her if she wanted to go with him and Rachel immediately said yes. It felt nice to have a friend, who was a guy, that she hadn't slept with and actually liked her.
A knock on her door had Rachel putting on her earing and fixing the strap of her black dress as she went to open the door.
Mouth stood there on the other side and smiled at her. "You look great."
Rachel smiled at him and opened the door more. "Thanks. You wanna hang out for a bit, I have to find my shoes."
Mouth nodded and headed over to the couch, he sat down and watched as Rachel ran across ehr apartment.
"So where's Cooper?" Mouth asked as Rachel came back into the room with her shoes.
"Oh he's at the garage with his cars, fixing them up and stuff. Didn't really wanna go to Prom with me, whatever." Rachel shrugged and smiled at Mouth as she put on her shoes.
"Oh well, his loss." Mouth said shrugging.
Rachel stood up and put on her jacket. "Exactly, are we leaving or what?"
Brooke was walking with Lucas into the school that night constantly fidgeting with her dress.
Lucas saw and frowned at her, he took her hands in his to stop her from almost ripping her dress in public. "Brooke what's the matter? Stop fidgeting."
"But this dress makes me look fat." She pouted staring at him. "Lucas I don't wanna look fat for our pictures."
Lucas chuckled and pulled her in for a hug and kissed her head. "Brooke, you look perfect. Stop worrying."
Brooke picked up her head and sighed. "Thanks, Luke. Now if you could just get everybody to stop staring at me it would be great." Brooke said as they continued to walk.
"Just ignore them. If they don't think their getting to you they'll stop."
Brooke rolled her eyes. "Yeah, but they're just staring at my stomach. They aren't even being subtle about it."
Lucas sighed and put his arm around her shoulders more tightly as they went into the school and Brooke looked around nodding her head in approval.
"The girls did go in decorating this year." Brooke said quietly, she was still a bit upset that she couldn't help as much as she wanted to this year.
Lucas nodded. "Yeah, they did." He agreed but when they entered the gym Lucas spun her around to face him. "But you gave them all these ideas."
"It's still not the same." Brooke complained.
Lucas rolled his eyes at her and kissed her. It wasn't rough because he knew if he had kissed her like that, they wouldn't be standing here right now.
Brooke pulled back and smiled at him. "Okay, totally off subject but, have you talked to Peyton recently? I tried texting her but she never answered."
Lucas shrugged. "She called me this morning. Her and Jake have been at the courthouse all day."
Brooke sighed and shook her head. "We never get a break, huh."
"At least we can never be bored." Lucas said with a small smile. "How about tonight we just have fun. No fighting, no pasts, and just be teenagers who are really excited to be here and about to graduate."
Brooke smirked up at him and kinked her brow. "What about the being pregnant part? Are we allowed to be excited about that part too?"
Lucas kissed her nose softly. "Yes."
Haley was sitting down at the table with Nathan as he played with her bracelet she had on. She felt horrible for making him just sit here with her. She was feeling nauseous and her feet hurt, so dancing was out of the question.
"I'm sorry. I know this isn't exactly ideal." Haley told him playing with his fingers.
Nathan shrugged. "I only came to this stupid thing because you wanted to. If it were up to me, we'd be at home eating some dinner and watching movies until you felt better."
"You're sweet." Haley told him smiling and leaned forward to kiss him until somebody caught her attention. "Wait, why is Dan here?"
Dan walked out of the gym quickly pocketing the disc he had in his pocket. He walked to the tech. Department and put the disc in the compartment rather than the students talking about their time in Tree Hill HS.
Dan smirked as he quickly pushed the cart out into the hallway and began to walk back towards the gym.
This would teach them both not to mess with him anymore.
