-1It had been two days since Brooke had woken up, she was still in the hospital of course, but she was almost back to herself. She was lying in bed reading one of the many magazines that Haley had brought her when there was a knock on the door and Peyton entered.

Brooke looked up from her magazine and she smiled "Hey best friend"

Peyton smiled sadly from the door as she stabilized herself using her new crutches "Hey"

Brooke didn't take her eyes off of Peyton "You can come in further….I don't think I have the plague or anything like that"

Peyton crutched her way over to the empty chair beside Brooke's bed "I can see you've got your color back…..you've gone from white to off white" Peyton slowly sank down into the seat her whole body ached from the wreck she never knew broken ribs hurt so much Peyton looked around the room before continuing "So where's Lucas?…..I think it's the first time in almost a week that he hasn't been by your side"

Brooke smiled "He went home to take care of a few things….he's going to bring Hannah when he comes back"

Peyton nodded and scooted back in the chair "That surprises me….I thought they were going to have to pry him out of this room"

Brooke nodded "Yeah…and when I'm better I'll make sure that he gets a "proper" thank you"

Peyton laughed at Brooke's comment and rolled her eyes "You are too much sometimes Davis"

"Davis-Scott" Brooke corrected before laughing

"My bad…." Peyton smiled but her smile fell when she saw Brooke wince and place her hand over her stomach. "So how are you feeling?"

Brooke shook her head "I'm just really sore…..today was the first day I was able to take a shower and I think I just over did it a little….the good news is…the doctor says I won't have any scars so I'm pleased with that…I can totally rock out my new tops and not worry about it"

Peyton looked down at her hands and whispered "I'm sorry Brooke"

Brooke looked over at Peyton "For what?"

Peyton looked up at Brooke and wiped the tear that fell from her eyes before talking "I'm sorry I almost killed you and Hannah"

Brooke sighed "Peyton….it's not your fault it was really nasty out and we couldn't see…don't worry about it everyone is fine I don't want you to blame yourself for something that is not your fault….besides don't think you can kill me off and make a play for Lucas"

Peyton laughed softly and dried her eyes "Yeah….cause he's just so in love with me…please the guy doesn't even look at another girl…you're the only one he ever sees"

Brooke shrugged her shoulders "I know….I guess I'll keep him around…and don't get so down in the dumps on me….Jake can't keep his hands off of you…if he had his way you'd be in bed all the time"

Peyton nodded "Yeah…we need to stop that my kids are old enough to understand that you don't wrestle naked"

Brooke shook her head in agreement "I'm just glad Hannah still sleeps in her crib….I'm not sure what she'd think about some of the things Lucas and I have done since she's been born"

Peyton furrowed her brow "Oh…man I didn't need to hear that ….that was an over share"

Brooke was about to respond when Lucas walked in with Hannah, Peyton looked at Brooke's who's entire face lit up as soon as she saw her daughter. Peyton smiled as she looked at Lucas holding Hannah he'd obviously dressed her Peyton thought because her blue "Ravens" top did not match her brown pants that were covering a huge diaper. Hannah's dark hair was pulled up on top of her head into pig tales. Hannah didn't seem to mind though she clapped her tiny hands as her father carried her into the room his arms loaded down with a diaper bag and some things that he'd brought from home.

"Hey Peyton" Lucas acknowledged as he handed Hannah down to Brooke.

"Hey Luke….dress Hannah in the dark again?" Peyton teased

Lucas furrowed his brow "What's wrong with what she's wearing?"

Peyton shook her head "Nothing if it's Halloween"

Lucas mocked laughed at Peyton "You're so funny"

Brooke ran her fingers across Hannah's face the little girl looked intently at her mother as she babbled on about something that Brooke couldn't make heads or tails of but she listened like she understood every single word.

"Why is her diaper so big Luke?" Brooke asked looking up at him

Lucas sighed "Nathan came over as I was getting her dressed and I told him that I needed to go and get diapers cause we were almost out and he said they still had some diapers from when Jamie was a baby and he went home and got them….well they were made for like 22 lb toddlers and I'm like "Nate these won't fit her" and Nathan's all "Yeah…they will besides the bigger one's hold more"

Peyton laughed out loud as Lucas told the story "No wonder Haley was the one who was always changing Jamie when he was a baby"

Brooke nodded "I know Haley was telling me that she thinks that it's time for Jamie to have a little brother or sister….she hasn't suggested it to Nathan yet but I'm sure that he'll be on board for it"

Peyton nodded in agreement "Jamie would be such a great big brother…I really hope that Nathan and Haley have another….I think I want another one"

Lucas looked down at Peyton "Don't you have enough kids….You're in labor and delivery so much they should dedicate a room to you and Jake"

Peyton hit Lucas on the leg "Shut up"

Lucas shrugged his shoulders "I'm just saying"

Brooke rolled over on her side and pulled Hannah with her so that the baby was lying beside her. Hannah rested her head on a pillow and looked up at her mother.

Lucas took Hannah's teething ring out of her diaper bag and handed it to her, Hannah took the ring and placed it in her mouth as chewed on it.

Brooke ran her hand across Hannah's hairline "What are you thinking about Hannah?"

Hannah's POV

I don't understand why mommy's in here and not home with daddy and I…..Daddy and I doing bedtime together isn't the same without my bath time with mommy…..Aunt Rachel stopped by the house for a little while today….she watched me while Grandma Karen went to town to get Lily and go to Wal-Mart….Anyway Aunt Rachel gave me my first official frosty from Wendy's today….it was good she told me not to tell mommy or daddy but then she's all "I don't have to worry about that cause you can't talk" I mean who says that?….It's not funny then she takes me home and daddy dresses me like I'm a hobo and brings me out In public….I wish he'd have looked when I pointed at my yellow sun dress that Uncle Skills got for me…..I like that Uncle Skills although I think he just uses me to pick up girls….that's naughty…I bet that mommy and daddy don't know he does that. I hate that Aunt Peyton hurt her leg…she came to see me yesterday and she told me that she was sorry that mommy got hurt….I felt bad cause she cried so I gave her some cheerios…they always cheer me up"

Jake knocked on the door and walked in he was carrying some peach colored roses, and he walked in and sat them down on the table. He hugged Brooke and went to stand behind Peyton's chair.

"So did you find out when you can come home?" Jake asked before kissing the top of Peyton's head

Brooke nodded "I think maybe tomorrow or the day after….I'm glad though I can't wait to get home"

Jake nodded "Well hopefully you'll get home soon and I can drop Peyton off at your house….cause Lord knows she's on my last nerve at home…."Jake bring me this…..Jake get me that" he teased

Peyton folded her arms "I didn't realize it was "Give Peyton a Hard Time" day"

Lucas rolled his eyes and smiled "Aw, Peyton we only do it cause we love you"

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Haley wiped her mouth as she finished brushing her teeth, she didn't know why she'd gotten so sick all of a sudden. One minute she was sitting in the living room grading papers the next she was throwing up everything that she's eaten for breakfast. She ran her hands through her hair and pulled it up into a ponytail. Brooke was coming home today and Haley was excited to go and see her. Haley looked up at the clock and saw the time, Brooke had been home for about an hour but Haley didn't want to rush right over, she wanted to give Brooke some time to relax at home before she went over. Haley grabbed her purse and walked out the door and next door. She knocked and smiled when Lucas answered his shirt covered in oatmeal. Haley laughed as she looked at him.

"You've got something on your shirt" Haley pointed out

"Oh yeah ?" Lucas looked down at his shirt "I didn't notice" he said sarcastically

"Oatmeal….mmmm" Haley replied as she walked into the house.

Lucas sighed "Yeah…It was my idea that Hannah would like oatmeal…but it was a no"

Haley saw Hannah sitting in her highchair wearing only her diaper she had oatmeal everywhere: On the floor, on the walls, on her highchair table, her hair, arms and body were all covered in the grainy substance. Haley shook her head "Oh, Luke…"

Lucas looked back at Hannah "Damn!….Hannah no! that's bad….you're supposed to let daddy help you eat…your mommy is going to be so mad at me"

Haley folded her arms as she looked at Lucas "How's Brooke doing by the way ?"

Lucas grabbed Hannah's bowl and placed it in the sink as he grabbed a sponge from under the sink and started to wipe off the floor and the walls. "She's good…she's in the living room watching "Regis and Kelly"

Haley nodded and turned into the living room she found Brooke curled up on the couch sketching. Brooke looked up from her sketches and smiled "Hey"

Haley walked over and sat down "What are you doing?"

Brooke shrugged her shoulders "I'm just finishing up these sketches so that I don't have to worry about getting them done later on"

Haley looked down at the sketch book "You know some people rest after getting out of the hospital after having MAJOR surgery"

Brooke rolled her eyes and closed her sketch book "Did you just come over here to harass me?"

"No, I didn't come over here to harass you" Haley mocked "I came to tell you something"

Brooke nodded "Really…what?"

Haley glanced back into the kitchen to make sure that Lucas wasn't listening "I think I'm pregnant"

Brooke squealed with delight and clasped her hands over her mouth "Haley are you serious that's great"

Haley nodded "Yeah I guess"

Brooke placed her hand on Haley's shoulder "You don't sound very happy about it"

Haley shook her head "No…it's not that it's just outside of watching Hannah Nathan and I haven't had a baby in the house in 5 years"

"Tutor Mom…I'm sure that you're going to be just fine….and Nathan is going to be thrilled….I'm excited and you're not even sure yet"

"Sure about what?" Lucas asked walking into the room with Hannah

"Um…sure about if I should get Jamie a scooter or not…he really wants one but I'm not sure if he's ready to have one yet"

Lucas nodded "If you get him proper gear I'm sure he'll be fine"

Hannah whimpered and squirmed in her father's arms Lucas furrowed his brow "Hannah stop"

Brooke raised her eyebrow as she looked at Lucas "What's wrong?"

Lucas groaned "Hannah is just in a really bad mood today…she's never like this"

Brooke nodded and looked at Hannah who started to fuss as her father held her "Maybe she just needs a nap…she just is out of her routine….I think you are too Luke"

"Well….I'll have to give her a bath first…cause our daughter seems to think that she can feed herself by pushing the food through her face"

Lucas walked out of the room with a crying Hannah who only started to cry louder when the bathwater started to run.

Haley looked at Brooke "What's wrong with him?"

Brooke looked down the hall toward the bathroom "I don't know I think it really bothers him that Hannah is hitting all these milestones….I mean like feeding herself and crawling…I think he misses her being so dependant on us for everything….He's been dropping hints that he wants to start trying for another baby"

Haley looked at Brooke "What makes you say that?"

Brooke shrugged her shoulders "When we went up to Peyton and Jake's cabin Lucas had spent some time with Hayden and later that night he told me he'd like to have a son"

Haley nodded "What did you say?"

Brooke looked back down the hall " I didn't say anything….I was hoping that he'd forget about it…but I don't think he's going to"

"Well what do you want…I mean do you want another baby ?"

Brooke nodded "Yeah….I definitely want more kids it's just Hannah isn't even a year old yet and Luke and I are still young….the way I see it we have plenty of time to have more kids…..I'm just getting used to the one we've got….by the way Peyton told Luke and I she and Jake want another baby"

Haley smirked "Are you serious?….jeez her and Jake must be going for some kind of record"

"I know….I'm happy for her though….I'm happy for you too" Brooke smiled

Lucas walked back into the living room with Hannah she was clean now and wore a new diaper and a yellow bath robe that had lions on it. Hannah was now sleeping against her fathers shoulder and Lucas sat down in the recliner in the living room with her.

"She fell asleep when I was putting her diaper on" Lucas whispered running his hand up and down Hannah's back.

Brooke looked over at Lucas, he was such an amazing father. It was like he was meant to be onw his whole life. "I figured she was just tired"

Lucas nodded "So Haley what kind of scooter do you plan on getting for Jamie?"
