Thanks for all the reviews guys…see I promised that I wouldn't keep you waiting as long this time. I really don't have any rants this time….I know believe me I'm shocked too. If it comes to pass that Brooke isn't able to have kids in Monday's episode…I will blow my top. Only because it's not fair that everyone gets to be happy and Brooke can't when she's the ONLY who has wanted a family and happiness like everyone else. I get that yeah there doesn't need to be anymore pregnancy storylines on One Tree Hill but they should have thought about that last season when they put everyone through the hell of a pregnancy that had NO POINT OTHER THAN TO MAKE EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY EPISODE ABOUT THAT CERTAIN PERSON FROM THE MOMENT SHE FOUND OUT SHE WAS PREGNANT PLUS IT WAS NOT EVEN NEEDED CONSIDERING HOW LAST SEASON ENDED. I just want Brooke to have what everyone else has, what she's always wanted because she deserves that. It's like someone said on the OTH Forums that Mark would kill Brooke off before he'd ever make her happy….sadly enough I'm really starting to believe that. I feel better now

Lucas had left Karen's and he drove straight to Tree Hill Memorial Hospital. He parked his car and walked into the hospital with Hannah and found Brooke standing in the corner talking to Haley.
"What happened?" Lucas asked as he walked up to his wife and his best friend. "How'd Jamie break his arm?"
"He decided that it would be funny to from the top of his dresser across the floor to his bed. Needless to say he missed and landed straight on his arm and broke it? Haley explained as she adjusted Leah on her hip.
"Is he ok?" Lucas asked as he wrapped an arm around Brooke. Who in turn curled up against him.
"Yeah, Nathan's with him right now I just needed to get some air cause my worry has now went into anger and I don't want anyone to see me publically scold my child" Haley said as she put Leah down on the ground beside her.
"Mama" Leah said holding her hands up to Haley.
Haley sighed and looked down at Leah. "Just give mama a breather her arms are sore baby"
"Daddy" Leah called as she saw Nathan walking towards the group of them and she took off toddling to her father who picked her up.
"Is he ok?" Haley asked
"Yeah, Hales, he's doing fine….he's upset that he made you cry though" Nathan said wrapping an arm around his wife and kissing her on the forehead.
"I guess I shouldn't have freaked out like I did…It just scared me so bad Nathan…I didn't know what to do I called Brooke screaming and then she called Luke and it's just been a mess" Haley said as she relaxed in Nathan's arms. "I guess I should go and talk to him"
"OK" Nathan said as Haley slipped out of his arms and walked down the hall.
"Poor Haley…she feels so guilty about getting mad at Jamie" Brooke said as she looked down in Isaiah's stroller to check on the sleeping boy.
"I knew that this was bound to happen the boy has no fear anymore" Nathan said.
"You sad Nafan?" Hannah asked looking at her uncle.
"No, H-bug I'm not sad…Uncle Nathan is just tired" Nathan said.
"You want a cookie?" Hannah asked holding up her box of animal crackers to her uncle.
"No baby girl you eat them" Nathan said as he adjusted Leach on his hip and looked down at Hannah "I'm going to go and get something to drink in the cafeteria do you guys want anything?"
"Sure, I'll come with you" Lucas said as he followed his brother down the hall. "Do you want to come Brooke?"
"No, I'm just going to stay here" Brooke said taking Hannah's hand and pushing Isaiah's stroller over to the waiting room.
"Can we watch SpongeBob mommy?" Hannah asked as she climbed up on to the couch that Brooke was sat down on in the waiting room of the pediatric orthopedic unit.
"No, Hannah cause the people in here are watching a TV show" Brooke explained to Hannah as she gestured over to an older couple who were watching the evening news.
"Oh, I turn it?" Hannah asked before eating another animal cracker.
"No, baby that wouldn't be nice" Brooke said brushing strands of Hannah's hair that had fallen out of her ponytail out of her face.
"They be mad?" Hannah asked
"Yeah" Brooke said
"Oh" Hannah said. "When we go home?"
"We'll go home when Jamie gets his arm fixed" Brooke explained.
"He cried" Hannah said
"I know he did..It hurt" Brooke said as she heard Isaiah start to whimper in his stroller and she turned the stroller around to face her.
"Hey handsome boy" Brooke said as she unbuckled her son from his stroller and picked him up. Isaiah instantly rested his head on Brooke's chest and rubbed his eyes with his pudgy hands."You still sleepy?" Brooke asked as she started to rub his back gently.
"Dada" Isaiah said softly.
"Daddy went with Nafan" Hannah explained to her baby brother.
"Dada?" Isaiah called again.

"You sure you're ok man?" Lucas asked his brother as they looked around the hospital cafeteria for a snack and a drink.
"Yeah, can I tell you something Luke?" Nathan asked as he grabbed a Coke for himself and some chips for Leah from the counter
"You know that you can, Nate…Is something wrong?" Lucas asked
"Yes…and no" Nathan said as the two brothers took a seat at the table. "I was down at the gym playing some basketball and I was approached by this man who asked me to try out for the Bobcats"
"Nate man that's awesome…what did Haley say?" Lucas asked a smile appearing on his face. The smile slowly fell as he watched Nathan buckle Leah into a highchair and open her bag of chips for her.
"I haven't told her about it" Nathan said "I was fine with just writing for the sports column but this is a dream come true man…it means I've got the chance to really follow a dream that I've wanted all my life"
"You should talk to Hales about it…she loves you Nathan and is all about you following your dreams and she'd want this for you for the both of you" Lucas explained
"I know but I just don't know if it would be fair to her and the kids…Hales has given up a lot and I don't want her to sacrifice any more than what she already does….I love her way too much to ask her to do such a thing" Nathan explained.
"Haley hasn't given up anything for you man. She's got the life that she's always dreamed of….I don't understand how you don't see that you've been making her dreams come true since we were in high school" Lucas said
"You think so?" Nathan asked
"I know so" Lucas said "I'm not just saying that because you're my brother either...tell Haley about this"
"Ok" Nathan said "How are things with you and Brooke?"
"Amazing" Lucas said "I have no words for how much I love her I always thought that there was this one perfect person for everybody in the world, you know, and when you found that person the rest of the world kind of magically faded away, and, you know, the two of you would just be inside this kind of protective bubble, but there is no bubble, I mean if there is you have to make it, I just think life is more than a series of moments, you know, we can make choices, and we can choose to protect the people we love, and that's what makes us who we are and those are the real memories"
"Damn, Man you are a writer" Nathan said shaking his head
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Haley curled up against Jamie and closed her eyes. "Are you mad at me mama?"
"No, buddy I'm not…I just get frustrated when you don't listen to me…You have to understand that I'm your mom and I know what's best for you and what will hurt you" Haley said opening her eyes to look at her 7 year old son.
"I know it" Jamie said. "I just thought I could make it"
"I know you did buddy" Haley said
"I'm sorry that I made you so upset with me mama" Jamie said
"It's ok…is your arm ok?" Haley asked
"Yeah, I just want to go home with you and dad and sleep in my bed" Jamie said.
"We will buddy, but first the doctor needs to decide if you need surgery to fix your arm or not" Haley said making sure that her son's arm was ok since it was only protected by a splint until his x-ray's came back from the lab.
"Don't tell that I cried ok" Jamie said
"I won't tell anybody….scout's honor" Haley said holding her hand up.
"Ok" Jamie said resting his head on Haley's shoulder. "Do you think when my arm gets better that you and dad and I can go somewhere just the three of us?"
"Well what about Leah?" Haley asked
"Mom. She's a girl" Jamie said.
"Well, buddy I'm a girl and she's your sister who loves you" Haley said
"Yeah, but she's always kissing me and everything" Jamie said "And I'm too old for little sister kisses"
"James Lucas Scott….I just don't know what I'm going to do with you buddy" Haley said shaking her head.
"I love you, mama" Jamie said.
"Right back at you buddy" Haley said as the doctor came in.
"Good news for you Mr. Jamie Scott, you don't need surgery but you are going to have to have a cast" The Doctor said.
"Can I pick the color?" Jamie asked
"Yes, you can pick the color" The doctor said.

Peyton and Jake's House
"And from what I understand your mommy hooked up with this guy named Pete from the group FALL OUT BOY….I mean who does that? And you know what else she did, guys? She made out with him on a bunk bed while your uncle mouth was right above them…That's not the worst thing though…a few weeks after that your mama decided that she loved your uncle Lucas in a more than friendly way…but did she go about the right way of breaking that news to people…nope…"
"JAKE" Peyton said looking down at her husband as he talked to her belly
"What? Peyt I'm just telling them what they're being born into….I'm sure they get an earful of Jake Jaglieski stories when I'm not around" Jake said.
"No, I don't tell the twins anything that isn't true" Peyton said sticking her tongue out at Jake.
"Well I'm not telling them anything that isn't true either….Peyton Elizabeth Jaglieski besides I'm about to get to the best part…you'll like the ending" Jake said as he moved his attention back to her belly "So where was I…oh your mommy and Uncle Luke…gosh that saga lasted longer than….you guys would be in college before I couldn't finish telling the whole story….So I'll just cut to the chase….They decided after what seemed like forever and a day that they were not good together…So, your mommy left LA and she flew to Savannah where I was working and one night there was a knock at the door and your big sister Jenny and I went to answer it and who was there but your mommy…she was dressed in her I'm Peyton I don't care about the world ripped jeans and a The Cure t shirt but that didn't matter cause daddy looked at her and he was 17 years old again…It was in that moment that all the memories came flooding back and I knew I had to make her mine forever…So a few weeks later after mommy and daddy got back together I asked mommy to be my wife…then we went to the courthouse and got married and that night was probably the night that your big sister Emily was conceived….I can't really remember"
"Jake…" Peyton said
"What…P… you know one day they'll ask so why not tell them now?" Jake asked
"Cause they're kicking me like crazy which means they're tired of hearing your story that started 10 minutes ago and still has no point" Peyton said.
"Peyton…just eat your hot pocket and don't worry about me" Jake said rolling his eyes."I've forgotten how much fun you are when you're pregnant"
"Ha Ha. Just remember buddy you did this to me" Peyton said.
"You enjoyed every minute of it…in fact I think you were screaming that you loved it" Jake said raising an eyebrow.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I'm so glad to be home" Brooke said as she laid down on the couch and rested her head on Lucas's lap.
"Me too. It's also a major plus that the kids are asleep…we never get time for just you and me anymore" Lucas said
"I know it…I'm going to miss you when you and Nathan go to Vegas" Brooke said
"I'm going to miss you too pretty girl" Lucas said running a hand through her hair.
"Yeah right" Brooke said as she looked up at her husband "You'll be too busy drinking and meeting girls and all that fun stuff"
"It's just a golf weekend" Lucas said.
"That's what they all say" Brooke said "I'm glad that Mouth is back from his trip to Orlando"
"Me too baby girl…I didn't need to hear anymore of Rachel's stories of the kind of sex that her and mouth had while he was away…phone, cyber…Skype….it's just too much for me sometimes" Lucas said
"I know it…not a good dinner topic" Brooke said as she thought back to the night before's dinner.
"And who just rips their shirt off like that?" Lucas asked
"You've got to love Rachel though…she makes things…interesting and motherhood has slowed her down just a little bit" Brooke said.
"Yeah, Abby is a good addition to their family…she's going to either turn out like mouth or e a mini Rachel….I say the world needs as many Marvin McFadden's as it can get" Lucas said with a yawn.
"You know she's going to be just like Rachel…I mean before Rachel took her to the sitter last night she painted her toenails…she said…Abby's not going to be a slum like Haley and I" Brooke said shaking her head.
"Well….she has a point" Lucas said
"Luke" Brooke said slapping him on the stomach before getting up off the couch.
"Babe I'm kidding….come back and lay down" Lucas called.
"No…I'm not talking to you Lucas Eugene Scott" Brooke said from the doorway.

Nathan stood in the doorway of his and Haley's bedroom and looked at his wife. "Hales, can I talk to you for a minute?"
"Sure…what's wrong?" Haley asked
"Nothing sweetheart" Nathan said "It's something that could be really great for us"
"Well what is it?" Haley asked as Nathan walked over to her and took her by the hands and sat down on the bed.
