-1Haley sat in the living room of her and Nathan's home waiting for him to get off of work. She looked down at the white stick in hr hand and smiled as she looked at the two pink lines. She had gone to get herself a pregnancy test after she left Brooke and Lucas's house and before she picked up Jamie from school. Haley had left Jamie next door until she had time to tell Nathan about the baby. Haley had already told Jamie about the baby and even though he wanted to stay home until Nathan got home he didn't mind to go next door because he loved spending time with Lucas and Brooke, even more now since Hannah was getting old enough to where she was able to play with Jamie. Haley sighed deeply as she heard Nathan's SUV pull up in the driveway.

"Hey Hales" Nathan called as he walked into the front door. He smiled when he saw her sitting on the couch and he looked around for Jamie.

"Nathan we need to talk" Haley told him as she stood up and ran her hands down the front of her jeans.

"Why…what's wrong?" Nathan asked a little nervous by the tone in Haley's voice.

"I know there's no easy way for me to say this so I'm just going to say it…..we're pregnant" Haley smiled as soon as the words left her mouth. She stared at Nathan who was standing in the living room speechless.

"Are you sure?" Nathan asked as he walked over to Haley.

Haley nodded "I'm positive"

Nathan smiled and he placed his hand on Haley's stomach "We're going to have another baby?"

"Yeah" Haley replied as she looked up at Nathan

Nathan smiled and he leaned down and wrapped his arms around her. "I love you so much Hales"

A tear slid down Haley's cheek and she and Nathan rocked back and forth "I love you too"

"Here Hannah you can have some of my onion rings" Jamie said taking a few of his onion rings and placing them on Hannah's high chair table. Brooke looked over at Jamie from where she was feeding Hannah her mashed potatoes.

"That's really sweet Jim-Jam but she's not able to eat them" Brooke told him as she fed Hannah a spoonful of potatoes.

"Why….she doesn't like them?" Jamie asked as he looked at Brooke.

"I'm sure she will sweetie but she just doesn't have enough teeth to eat them" Brooke informed as she took a bite of her own food before returning back to feed the baby.

"Oh…ok…..Uncle Luke…guess what" Jamie exclaimed

"I don't know….what Jamie" Lucas asked from across the table.

"I'm going to be a big brother" Jamie smiled excitedly before taking a drink of milk

"I know….you told me when your mommy dropped you off" Lucas smiled

"Oh…I forgot….Uncle Luke do you think Chester will like the new baby ?" Jamie asked looking at Lucas.

"I'm sure he will Jamie….He's a friendly rabbit" Lucas assured before standing up to take his plate to the kitchen.

"Aunt Brooke do you think I'll be a good big brother ?" Jamie had been asking that question all night long.

Brooke smiled and she wiped Hannah's mouth off before she answered his question "Honey you're going to be the best big brother ever….you're already such a big help with Hannah…I'm sure that you'll be an even bigger help to your mommy when she has your baby brother or sister"

"Thank You….can I play with Hannah now ?" Jamie asked as he watched Brooke take Hannah out of her highchair and sit her down on the kitchen floor. Hannah spotted her purple monkey and took off crawling into the living room.

Brooke nodded "Yeah sweetie just be careful with her"

Jamie took off walking into the living room and shouted "I will"

Brooke cleaned off the table and Hannah's highchair and she walked into the kitchen to where Lucas was doing the dishes. "I can do those Luke…you don't have to finish them"

Lucas looked over his shoulder "Brooke I want to do them you should go and rest you just got out of the hospital this morning"

Brooke nodded "I know but I feel fine I'm just a little sore…that doesn't keep me from cleaning up around my house"

Lucas looked at Brooke "Brooke go in the living room and rest"

Brooke rolled her eyes "Lucas I'm fine….I just want to do the dishes" Brooke turned back to go and get the remaining dishes but she got dizzy and stumbled into the marble countertop.

"Brooke?" Lucas called quickly walking over to her and taking a hold of her arm. "Are you ok?"

Brooke nodded and she ran her hands through her dark hair "I'm fine I just got a little dizzy"

Lucas sighed "Brooke go relax….you're overdoing it"

"Lucas…" Brooke protested

Lucas shook his head "No…Brooke I'm not going to argue with you go and lay down"

Brooke shook her head she wasn't in the mood to fight with Lucas "Fine" Brooke took off walking into the living room and she sat down on the couch.

After Lucas finished the dishes he walked into the living room. Jamie was sitting on the floor with Hannah handing her random toys and following her as she crawled around on the carpet. Lucas sat next to Brooke on the couch and he took the remote off of the coffee table and started to flip channels. Brooke ran her hands through her hair and she smiled as Hannah crawled over to the couch.

"Mama" Hannah called and held her arms up for Brooke to pick her up.

"Hey Hannah Banana" Brooke reached down and picked Hannah up and sat her down on her lap. "How's my most favorite baby girl?"

Hannah babbled something incoherently and she placed one of her hands in her mouth. Brooke kissed the top of Hannah's head "Does my baby girl have a new tooth coming in ?"

Lucas looked over at Hannah "It's going to be her fourth" Lucas announced sadly and he looked down at his lap.

Brooke smiled and she stood up slowly with Hannah and walked into the kitchen "Let's get you a cold washcloth to chew on" Brooke told Hannah as she walked into the kitchen to get a washcloth out of the freezer that they had put in there for Hannah to chew on. "My baby girl is getting so big"

Lucas listened to Brooke talk to Hannah, he was proud and happy that Hannah was growing up so fast but something somewhere inside of him hurt. Hannah was his baby and while her growing up was a good thing he just couldn't' stand the fact that she was just a few months away from her first birthday. Lucas couldn't stand the thought of his baby girl growing so fast. If it was this hard on him now how hard was it going to be when she hit bigger milestones like walking, starting kindergarten, driving, her graduation, so many more things it just hurt him and he wasn't even sure why.

Brooke walked back into the living room just as Nathan and Haley walked in. Jamie ran to his mom and dad. "Did you tell him Mama ?" Jamie asked as he jumped up and down.

Haley laughed at Jamie's excited ness "Yeah baby I told him"

Nathan smiled and knelt down in front of Jamie "You ready to be a big brother Jamie ?"

Jamie nodded "I sure am….how long till the baby gets here?"

Haley looked down at Jamie "I don't know baby…mommy has to go to the doctor so she can find out"

Jamie nodded "Oh ok"

Haley walked into the living room further "Hey where'd Brooke go?"

Lucas pointed down the hall "The nursery"

Haley looked at Lucas and then at Jamie "Jamie come with mama and we'll go see Aunt Brooke"

Jamie took off running down the hallway followed by Haley. Nathan looked at Lucas and went to sit next to him. "What's wrong with you man…you've been acting so weird lately…even before the accident"

Lucas said nothing he just shook his head and kept his gaze fixated on the TV " Congratulations by the way….It's going to be weird with you guys starting all over again"

Nathan nodded "Yeah but I can't wait….I hope that we have a girl…and If she's half as good as my brother's baby girl than we'll be just fine"

Lucas looked over at Nathan "I appreciate that man…thanks"

Nathan nodded "No problem"

Lucas looked back at the TV "I told Brooke I wanted another baby"

Nathan looked at Lucas "What did she say?"

Lucas shook his head "She didn't say anything about it….I guess that she's thinking about it"

"Well man maybe she just has her hands full….you know Hannah is still just a baby…just give her some time"

Lucas shrugged her shoulders "Maybe I can help her think about it"

Nathan looked down the hall and then back at Lucas "What are you going to do man?"

"Tamper with her birth control pills" Lucas whispered

"Luke man don't….that's a really bad idea…Brooke will come around just give her some time…I'm sure you guys will have another baby eventually…but If you want my honest opinion I don't think your marriage can handle it"

Lucas furrowed his brow "What's that supposed to mean?"

Nathan shook his head "I don't mean anything by it man…I'm just saying things were on a downward spiral with you guys for a while and now that you've worked things out I think it's best if you just give it a few months"

"I just don't want to be 50 years old taking my kids to the park" Lucas sighed

"Luke…you're 24 years old…you've got plenty of time to have kids" Nathan assured

"I guess so….I just don't think it would hurt to bring it back up again" Lucas replied turning his attention back to the TV.

"Man….give it like 6 months and then mention it again…it'll be for the best"

Lucas nodded "Fine…but I'm not happy about it"

Haley and Jamie walked back into the living room "Are you ready to go home ?"

Nathan nodded "Yeah….let's go"

Lucas said goodbye to the three family members and he turned the TV off and walked into the bedroom where Brooke was getting ready for bed. He watched as Brooke slowly walked over to the bed and pulled the covers back. Brooke groaned as she sat down and she winced in pain as she settled into the bed. Lucas frowned and shook his head "You ok?"

Brooke nodded and forced a smile "Yeah…I'm fine….I'm just a little sore but it will pass"

Lucas walked over to the dresser and pulled out some sleep pants and an under shirt. Lucas went into the bathroom and got ready for bed. He brushed his teeth and came back out and he got into bed beside of Brooke. He looked down at her and noticed she was already asleep. Lucas leaned down and kissed Brooke on her temple and he reached over and turned the baby monitor on he could hear Hannah's rhythmic breathing as she slept. After turning the monitor on he turned off the bedside lamp and rolled over and draped his arm over Brooke and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning Peyton was sitting at her front desk, it was her first day back at work since the accident. She looked at the clock and realized it was only 7 am it didn't matter though the earlier she got there the more work she figured she'd get done. Peyton was still sore but she thought that getting back to work would help her get her mind off of it. Peyton had just gotten out of a meeting with Mia when Rachel stopped by.

"Hey Bottle Blonde" Rachel teased walking into the room and sitting down in the chair across from Peyton.

"Hey Plastic…everything" Peyton said dryly looking Rachel up and down.

"You're funny Peyton….you really are…I forget why we don't hang out more often" Rachel folded her arms and looked at Peyton.

'What do you want Rachel ?" Peyton asked looking up from her computer screen.

"I just wanted to stop and tell you my news" Rachel replied looking across the desk at Peyton.

"What news is that ?" Peyton asked turning to face Rachel.

"Well…since you look like you're dying to know….Mouth proposed to me last night" Rachel said excitedly holding up her left hand to show off her engagement ring.

Peyton smiled "Wow….someone is actually going to take you as a wife"

Rachel sighed "Don't sound so shocked Peyton…besides you're the first to know"

"Why did you tell me first ?" Peyton asked

"Well, I figured Brooke would be here but since she isn't I thought I'd tell you instead" Rachel explained.

Peyton nodded "Well, Brooke is at home"

Rachel nodded to herself "Oh….the one place I didn't look"

Peyton laughed softly "Congratulations Rachel I'm really excited for you"

Rachel smiled "Thanks Peyton"

"You're welcome" Peyton replied

"By the way do you think you could hook me up with some sweet entertainment at my reception?"

Peyton rolled her eyes "How'd I know"

Rachel shrugged her shoulders "I don't know it's me…what can I say?"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Brooke trailed her kisses down Lucas' neck and then his shoulder and collarbone , she ran her hands anywhere she could reach. Lucas slowly opened his eyes in time to watch his wife move to straddle him. "Brooke what are you doing ?"

Brooke didn't say anything she just leaned down and kissed him and slowly started to grind her hips down against his. Lucas placed his hands on Brooke's hips and he helped slowly guide her movements. Soon it became too much and Lucas rolled them both over so that he was on top of her. Lucas ground his hips into Brooke's and she pulled her mouth away from his as they kissed and parted her legs for him even more. "Harder Luke" she begged softly.

Lucas' eyes shot open when he heard his alarm go off he hit the off button and raised himself up on his elbows he could hear Hannah's cries from across the hall and he looked over to find Brooke's side of the bed empty and groaned to himself and laid back down on the bed and coved his head with his hands.
