Sometime during the silence after the bomb dropped all four of the parents had stood up. The sounds of their chairs scraping along the floor were the only things breaking the tension in the room. But still they said nothing. In reality, only a matter of seconds had passed but for the two teenagers standing in the middle of the room it felt like forever.

"You two…you're…together?" Finally Haley spoke up, but her voice wasn't reassuring to the two youngsters, she was hesitant, nervous, confused.

Logan and Lydia just stood there nodding slowly, pleading with their eyes for their families to understand. Another couple of minutes passed and no one made a move, until suddenly Quinn stepped up and embraced the young couple.

"Well that's great! We're just shocked that's all."

Haley quickly followed her sister's example; she couldn't stand the look of sadness painted on Lydia's face.

"Yeah of course sweetie!"

Lydia looked gratefully at her mum and quickly hugged as she walked up to the pair.

"We're just going to go for a walk, let it settle in for you guys," Logan said and quickly the pair walked away, trying to forget the mess they were leaving behind.

The cool breeze blew across, gracefully raising a wave of sand across the shoreline where the young couple were sitting. Her head was leaning gently on his strong shoulder and his arm was wrapped protectively around her body. The water rushed up and covered their feet and the hypnotic sound helped to calm them.

Suddenly their perfect little bubble was punctured by the harsh sound of a sarcastic clap coming from behind them. Jamie Scott was walking towards them with an uncharacteristic anger showing on his face.

"Jamie I'd really rather not get another bloody nose right now so could you just leave it please." Logan felt wrong talking to his best friend with such contempt. But it had been hard telling their families and Lydia didn't need to see them fight.

"Logan for once you're actually right, Lydia come on you're coming with me."

Lydia, who had so far tried to just ignore Jamie's presence, suddenly stood up at this point. Within seconds her mood has vastly changed from calm and peaceful and now she was very close to boiling point.

"Well Jamie like usual you're wrong, I'm not going anywhere with you! I don't understand what you're problem is!"

"My problem? My problem is that you're 17 Lydia and you're seeing this guy! And you know what, he's going to ruin your life!" Jamie's anger and worry suddenly exploded out of him and he couldn't control to his words.

"Whatever Jamie!" Lydia quickly grabbed Logan's arm and pulled him along in the opposite direction to Jamie. She was so angry that Logan practically had to jog to keep up with her pace.

"I found the pregnancy test Lydia!"

"Sam! Where are you? Julian needs help with the boys and I need to get the door."

Once again Brooke Davis was running around the mad house that she lived in, but the madness didn't matter. She loved it when Sam and the kids were there; even though she did have had to hurdle more than one stuffed-animals on her path to open the door. She opened it to a reveal a familiar face and a wide smile spread across her lips.

"Luke! What are you doing here?" But before he could say anything she registered the heartbreak on his face and pulled him into a tight hug,

"Luke, what happened?"

"Sawyer", he said her name and all the pain and hurt and worry was clear in his voice. Ever since Peyton moved on Lucas hadn't been able to rein her in. Brooke of course couldn't help herself and had immediately attempted to help her wayward goddaughter despite Julian's protests. Ever since Lucas and Sawyer had moved back to Tree Hill Brooke had endeavoured to guide Sawyer. But each move Brooke made to help her, Sawyer threw it back in her face. Brooke loved her with all her heart and truly believed that she'd get better but even she had to admit she was a tyrant. She stole, lied, slept around, connived and all in all ruined every opportunity she was given. Despite all this Brooke had never seen Lucas look this distraught about her before, he always believed in the best of her. Brooke could only imagine what could have happened now…

"'Of course sweetie'? Are you out of your mind Haley?!'

After the shock announcement, everyone filed out of the Evans' beach house pretty sharpish. Jamie had stormed off down the beach somewhere and Haley and Nathan began the drive home.

Nathan had been silent for the entire drive and for once Haley was stumped about what to say to him. Until he decided he might as well break the ice…

"No Nathan but I think you might be! What else were we supposed to say to her?"

"Anything! We could ban her from seeing him!"

At that Haley chuckled, no matter how wise an old man can get, most of them are still complete irrational idiots when it comes to their daughters and boys.

"Nathan calm down! You never had such a problem when she was going out with Davis and you like Logan!"

Nathan stopped for a minute and lowered his voice slightly,

"It's just…Logan's…well he's basically a mini-Clay! And you know how you felt about him when he and Quinn first started out! He's going to lead Lydia astray!"

Now the chuckle evolved into full on laughter and Haley just couldn't contain herself,

"Nathan, Clay is one of your best-friends and he's one of the nicest guys you know! And as for leading her astray, I mean what's the worst that could happen? They fall insanely in love, get married in their junior year and have a baby before graduation?"

"Lucas…talk to me…what is it?"

Lucas was sitting on the edge of his seat with his face in his palms. He took a minute and then slowly lifted his head, his face the picture of worry and unease. He didn't know how to explain and his silence was driving Brooke crazy. Worst-case scenarios were replaying over and over in her head…

"Lucas! Is she is trouble? Drugs? Did she get kicked out of schools? Is she pregnant? Did she get arrested? What is it?" Brooke's voice got more and more fretful and high-pitched with each question and finally her fear spurred Lucas to talk.

"Nothing. There's not just nothing. The other day I came home to find the house an absolute mess and I just lost it. I told her she had to sort it out or I'd kick her out…"

"Oh Lucas…"

"No, you see, it worked. She cleaned it all up and when I got home she'd even made me dinner. Since then she's been good, together. She's been doing her study, no drinking, no parties…something major has happened, it must have…"

When he finished, he reformed his prior position and with his face in his hands he missed the small smile that began to form on Brooke's lips.

"Lucas…isn't this what we were hoping for? Like, shouldn't we be happy and celebrating not being all broody there-must-be-something-drastically-wrong pouty boy?" Brooke was suddenly calmer, maybe this was it, maybe they had finally got through to her.

Lucas lifted his head,

"You think so?"

"I do, we'll take it day by day and we'll keep an eye on her but this is good Luke, she's finally growing up! Now come on, we're going to cheer you up! Sam and Jack are here so there's plenty of food, come and have a dinner."

Without actually ever waiting for his response, Brooke grabbed Lucas's hand and pulled him with her to the kitchen. Brooke tried to hide the doubt that was creeping in her mind. Although Sawyer's change of behaviour was great news, the suddenness was worrying. Something had triggered it and Brooke wasn't convinced it was Luke's stern parenting…

So we still don't know who's pregnant? Any guesses? Hope you enjoy, reviews welcome! xoxo
