Chapter 3

Friday morning:

A year and half ago Brooke's father passed away from a heart attack and she was left this huge house to her self so instead of selling it she asked Lucas to move in with her and after talking it over with Dan and Deb the both agreed it was a good idea and it would give the teens more room and privacy after being together for almost 3 years.

Lucas started to disturb and realized Brooke was still sleeping so he got up and took a shower and headed downstairs to make breakfast. 20 minutes later Brooke emerged from the bedroom having already showered and dressed and walked into the kitchen to see Lucas just finishing up breakfast, she took a seat on one of the stools in front of the counter and Lucas handed her a cup of coffee and breakfast while taking a seat himself. The two ate their breakfast then headed back up stairs to pack the stuff they would be taking to New York with them. Brooke decided to keep the house because when the gang comes back for vacation or visits they all have a place to stay and Dan and Deb promised to keep an eye on things with the house.

Lunch time rolled around and Lucas and Brooke were still packing but they were also getting hungry so Brooke went down stairs and grabbed the Chinese take out menu and grabbed the phone and ordered their favourites and headed back up stairs to continue the packing. Lucas was almost done packing he had already finished his close and toiletries and at the moment he was busy packing up all his and Brooke's CD, what she worked on packing the movies. 30 minutes later lunch arrived and they sat down in the living room to eat while turning to TV on to find a re-run of CSI Miami on. After Lunch they decided to load of the Hummer considering they were leaving early in the morning and didn't want to have to load up later that night or really fast in the morning and forget something important. After an hour of loading and making sure they had everything it was almost dinner time so they headed next door for one more meal with the rest of the Scoot Family.

Dan- hey Luke, did you get all the packing done?

Lucas- yea we finished packing and loaded up the Hummer so were all set to leave in the morning

Deb- that's great Luke, Nathan and Jake are in the living room why don't you head in there and Brooke do you mind helping me in the kitchen with Peyton and Haley?

Brooke- of course not

Lucas headed into the living room to join the guys while Deb and Brooke headed into the kitchen to finish dinner.

In the kitchen:

Brooke- hey girlies

Haley- hey tiger, you get everything packed up?

Brooke- yea and we even loaded the Hummer so we don't have to do it in the morning; hey Peyt you okay?

Peyton- huh oh yea I'm great, so you excited to leave tomorrow Brooke?

Brooke- okay now I know something's up you wanna tell me or do I have to go ask Jake?

Peyton- no don't do that, its nothing really I honestly think I'm over reacting

Brooke- Peyton what's wrong?

Peyton- I think I'm pregnant again (she says in a whisper)

Brooke- OMG Peyton that's great, what does Jake think?

Peyton- that's the thing I haven't said anything yet and I don't even know for sure yet, I was kinda hoping either you or Hales would get me a home test so I can find out before I tell him cause he just got this huge scholarship and I don't want to ruin that for him I mean we have Jenny and we love her but its hard sometimes and if I am then its gonna get even harder and I don't want Jake giving up his dreams because of us

Brooke- oh honey of course we'll get it for you and Jake loves you, he would do anything for you and you know that so no matter how this turns out he will always be there, you know that right?

Peyton- yea I know that I just don't want him to quit basketball cause he thinks we need the money

Brooke- Peyton if you are then we will figure things out then okay, and as long as you guys need to stay in the house your more then welcome to we are here for you honey through thick and thin

Haley- Brooke is right we are bring you 100% no matter what

Peyton- thanks Brooke you truly are my best friend

Brooke- and your mine besides tutor wife here

Peyton- absolutely

Haley- thanks guys

Brooke- Deb is there anything you need while I'm out cause I cant really tell the guys what I'm going for they'll start to get suspicious?

Deb- actually if you don't mind Brooke I could do with a bag of mike and a bottle of 7up

Brooke- no problem I'll be back in about ½ hour

Brooke heads into the living room to tell Lucas she needs to head to store for Deb

Lucas- hey baby I thought you were helping Deb in the kitchen?

Brooke- I am but I need the keys to the Lexus I have to head to the store for a couple things for dinner

Lucas- well let me come with you then

Brooke- no its okay I'm only getting Milk and 7up I'll be no longer then ½ hour you stay here and play with the boys, oh and kick their asses while your at it

Lucas- oh most definitely, here and please don't scratch the car this time

Brooke- LUCAS EUGENE SCOTT that was one time must you remind me every time I drive

Lucas- no and I'm sorry (he leans up and kisses her but she pulls away)

Brooke- not forgiven maybe be the time I get back but not right now

Lucas- oh c'mon baby please forgive me (he leans in again and captures her lips and this time she doesn't have the strength to pull away)

Brooke- okay your forgiven, bye baby love you; bye guys

Guys- BYE

Brooke heads out and gets in the car and drives over to the super market and goes in gets the milk and 7up then heads to pharmacy for the at home pregnancy test when someone catches her eye. Brooke thinks to herself that it cant be here but as soon as she hears that voice she knew it was her best friend from California that she hasn't seen or heard from in almost 5 years. Brooke knowing its her calls out her old nickname

Brooke- Hey SLUT!!!!!!!

- OMG Brookes Davis is that you?

Brooke- the one and only! how you been Rach?

Rachel- oh you know so, so; where the hell you been the last four years Brookie?

Brooke- living here in Tree Hill with my dad, but then he died a year and half ago and then by boyfriend of 3 years moved in with me and this coming Tuesday is our 4 year anniversary; why are you in Tree Hill?

Rachel- I'm visiting my aunt, I came to pick up a bottle of wine to take over; but wait a minute why you looking at pregnancy tests? That boyfriend of yours didn't knock you up did he?

Brooke- no its for my friend she thinks she might be pregnant again

Rachel- again???

Brooke- yea Peyton and Jake got pregnant junior year and then they got married and now she thinks number 2 is on the way

Rachel- wow!!! What else has been going on in your life?

Brooke- while lets see my other friend Haley and her boyfriend Nathan got married sophomore year but no kids

Rachel- please tell me you not gonna say you got hitched to?

Brooke- nope Lucas and I haven't gotten married yet were still dating

Rachel- thank god I thought I would have to kidnap you to knock some sense into your head

Brooke- oh Rach its so good to see you (she gives her a hug)

Rachel- its good to see you to Brooke

Brooke- while I gotta check out and head back to the Scott's

Rachel- WHAT!!!!!! You don't mean Dan & Deb Scott do you?

Brooke- yea why?

Rachel- because Deb's my aunt

Brooke- oh wow so that makes you and Nathan cousins then

Rachel- yep, oh please tell me he's not the one your dating

Brooke- nope I'm not dating Nathan he married Haley, I'm dating his cousin Lucas

Rachel- Lucas Scott while this will be interesting I haven't seen him in years

Brooke- you know Lucas Scott?

Rachel- of course I do I mean he is my brother after all?

Brooke- what the hell are you talking about Rachel? Lucas doesn't have a sister

Rachel- that's because Lucas doesn't know I'm his sister he still thinks I'm his cousin

Brooke- okay know I'm confused, hey do you need a ride back to the house?

Rachel- that would be awesome, saves walking in these heals

Brooke- of course you wear heals that high, c'mon Rach

Brooke and Rachel both headed through check out and out to the Lexus and they get in and once on the road Brooke asks Rachel to explain it to her

Brooke- Rach please explain what you mean by Lucas thinking you're his cousin when your really his sister?

Rachel- okay well you know I'm a year and half older then you, and our mom Karen Roe-Scott was Deb sister but no body knows that and when Karen got pregnant she was only 16 and wasn't ready for the responsibility so Deb was 3 years older then Karen so Deb raised me until I was about 4 then she moved me to California where I was raised by there brother Cooper Roe, two years later Karen got pregnant again but this time when everyone assumed it was yet again another child of Keith Scott they were wrong but nobody knows that----

Brooke- wait so Keith is your father but not Lucas'??? this makes no sense

Rachel- I know believe me, and yes I'm Keith's daughter and Lucas happens to be Keith's nephew---

Brooke- and that makes him Dan's son, so that means Lucas and Nathan are brothers

Rachel- right you are Brookie but the even weirder thing is Nathan isn't Dan's son he's Keith's

Brooke- holy shit

Rachel- exactly, see Karen and Deb are only half-sister while Keith and Dan are full brothers and Karen and Keith had been for about 2 months before she got pregnant with me, and then she had a one night stand with Dan the night of their senior prom and got pregnant with Lucas and because she had slept with Keith the night before she passed Lucas of as his son, and Nathan I'm pretty sure is Keith's son only cause Deb had gone out drinking one night and ran into Keith at the bar I don't know why he was there but he was and they got really drunk and did it in the back of her car, and then a week later at school she meets Dan and not long after that do they sleep together and she passes Nathan off as his

Brooke- OMG I cant believe this!!!!!

Rachel- yea and neither could I, so I'm trying to find Karen and Keith and see why they never bothered to find me after all these years

Brooke- um.. Rach I may be able to help with that

Rachel- really you know where they are?

Brooke- I don't know how to tell you this but four years ago Karen and Keith died in a car accident and that's how Lucas ended up in Tree Hill cause Dan was given custody

Rachel- OMG I cant believe my parents are dead and I never got to know them

Brooke- I'm sure if you tell Lucas who you are he will be able to tell you what ever you want to know about them

Rachel- yea I might do that

Brooke- hey Rach?

Rachel- yea?

Brooke- how did you find out about all this family stuff?

Rachel- Uncle Cooper told me, he's actually on a plane as we speak coming out here to see his dear sister

Brooke- oh joy, good thing Luke and I are leaving tomorrow morning

Rachel- what? Where are you to going?

Brooke- New York, he got a basketball scholarship and I got one for Fashion/Design. And then Haley and Nathan are attending NYU and so are Peyton and Jake

Rachel- wow!!! Well you guys have room for one more person in your group?

Brooke- seriously???? Your coming to NYU

Rachel- yep full scholarship for Business Management

Brooke- oh Rach I'm so happy for you

Rachel- thanks Brooke that means a lot

Brooke- can I ask you something though?

Rachel- I think you just did but go ahead

Brooke- why do you go by Gatina if you're a Scott?

Rachel- Gatina was Karen and Deb's mothers maiden name and I didn't want anyone to know who I was until I confronted my family

Brooke- okay, so you gonna let the cat out of the bag tonight?

Rachel- I don't see why not, with you and Luke leaving it's as good a time as any, don't you think?

Brooke- of course, any way to cause trouble right slut?

Rachel- absolutely whore

Brooke- um.. But do you think we could maybe break it to Lucas and Nathan first in private before the entire family finds out?

Rachel- of course its only fair and then they can help me break the news to dear aunt Deb and the ass whole she calls a husband

Brooke- Dan seems nice, I'm not his biggest fan but I don't see what's wrong with him, from what I've heard him and Keith always got along

Rachel- oh you know absolutely nothing Brookie

Brooke- well then I guess it's a good thing your back

Rachel- that's for sure

The girls keep driving and about 10 minutes later they pull into the drive way and Brooke gets out but she tells Rachel to go over and wait in her kitchen while she gets Lucas and Nathan and takes the stuff into Deb and Peyton. She drops the stuff off in the kitchen then heads into the living room to find the guys still playing the game but she bends down and turns the system off and puts her hands on her hips.

Guys- BROOKE WHAT THE HELL??????

Brooke- oh jeez its only a game get over it, I need Lucas and Nathan to come with me NOW we need to talk over at my house

Nathan & Luke- okay

They boys get up and Brooke bends down and turns the system back on for Jake and he thanks her before she follows the guys to her house and they enter the kitchen and as soon as the boys walk in the stand in shock to see who is sitting on the counter

Nathan- Rachel when the hell did you get here?

Rachel- NATHAN ROYAL SCOTT watch your language, and for your information I got here this morning

Nathan- then how do you know Brooke?

Brooke- Nathan where did I live before I moved here?

Nathan- California

Rachel- and where do I live?

Nathan- California with Uncle Cooper

Rachel- exactly that whore standing there was my best friend before she up and left without saying good-bye

Brooke- hey slut I tried but my mother wouldn't let me

Lucas- what's going on here? And why are you calling each other names?

Brooke- Lucas this is Rachel Gatina and we've always called each other names

Rachel- actually its Rachel Scott and I have a huge secret that needs to come out before anybody leaves for NYU

Nathan & Lucas- SCOTT????

Rachel- yep now if you two wanna sit down before you fall down then I would love to tell you what I told Brookie hear on the car ride over

Lucas- you knew she was coming?

Brooke- nope I ran into her at the store and offered her a ride

Nathan- okay so were sitting wanna tell us what your talking about

Rachel- oh course, well lets see my mother is Karen Roe-Scott and my father is Keith Scott, Karen got pregnant by Keith after about 2 months of dating she was only 16 and didn't want to raise a kid, so her sister Deb Roe who just happens to be Nathan's mother was 3 years older then Karen and decided to raise me until I was 4 then she moved me to California to live with Uncle Cooper.

Nathan- okay so that just means your Lucas' sister

Rachel- not exactly I'm his half sister, only because Keith isn't his father, Dan is--- I know, I know Karen and Dan had a one night stand at their senior prom and resulted in her getting pregnant with Lucas but she had slept with Keith the night before and passed you off as his son can Dan was long gone

Lucas- okay so you're my half sister and Nathan is my half brother, it cant get any weirder then that

Brooke- oh trust me broody it does

Rachel- anyway Nathan isn't your half brother he's still your cousin

Nathan- What the hell???

Rachel- weird I know, it was her first year of University and she was in a bar cooling off after a hard week and she ran into Keith and they got talking and really, really drunk and they slept together in her car and then she met Dan a week later and slept with him and passes Nathan off as his

Nathan & Lucas- HOLY SHIT

Brooke- exactly what I said

Lucas- so Rach why come now?

Rachel- I got accepted to NYU and I wanted to meet my parents so I decided to come to Tree Hill considering this is where they grew up but I ran into Brooke and she told me that they died in a car accident 4 years ago

Lucas- yea they did and I was shipped out here but I'm glad I was cause if I hadn't been I wouldn't have meet Brooke

Rachel- okay sickening, but anyway considering were half-siblings I was wondering if you would mind telling me about them, you got to grow up with them and I wish I had but Karen was only 16 and I can understand not being ready to handle a child

Lucas- yea I'll tell you what ever you want to know

Nathan- me too Luke, I had only met Keith a few times but from what I saw and how you grew up it had to be a good life

Lucas- it was Nate, I'm just sorry that neither of you had the chance to get to know him or Karen properly

Rachel- thanks Luke

Nathan- yea man thanks

Lucas- anything for family right

Brooke- sorry to break this moment up but I think we should really head back over before Deb and Dan get pissed that we ditched on dinner

Lucas- yea I agree

Lucas and Nathan go to stand up when Rachel stops them

Rachel- Wait!!!

Nathan- everything okay?

Rachel- no, I mean I want to let the cat out of the bag cause its only fair that Dan know Nathan isn't his son but Lucas is don't you think?

Brooke- I agree with Rachel but its up to you two what ever you feel is right

Lucas- I don't know man what do you think?

Nathan- I have no idea, does my mom know any of this?

Rachel- she only knows that I'm Karen and Keith's daughter nothing more uncle Cooper told me everything else when I was coming out and he should be landing about now and on his way over with in the hour

Nathan- okay then we wait until Uncle Cooper gets here and then he can tell Dad and Mom what you just told us, cause I think if it came from him it would be better to handle

Lucas- I agree with Nate its better if Uncle Cooper told them

Rachel- I agree that's why I begged him to fly out, but I came first cause I wanted to explain it to the two of you

Lucas- how did you know I'd be here?

Rachel- uncle Cooper told me that you guys came back to Tree Hill every summer so I took a chance and I guess it worked even though you've been here for the last for years

Brooke- sorry to break this up again but Deb's looking out the door to the kitchen staring at me so I think we should head over

Rachel- right lets go

They four of them leave Brooke and Lucas' kitchen and head next door to Dan and Deb's, once they walk in Rachel is attacked by Deb, considering they haven't seen each other in years and she was finally home where she belonged but as soon as she let it slip that Uncle Cooper would be here with in the hour Deb tensed up and all for of them noticed it and it was only a matter of time before everyone else in the house knew what Lucas, Brooke, Rachel, Nathan and apparently Deb already know.
