Situation:After a difficult birth experience, Brooke is finally discharged from the hospital. Peyton is kind enough to pick up Brooke from the hospital. Victoria and Millicent are busy with the store as usual.

Brooke (passing by the nursery in a wheel chair): OH, look at all of the pretty babies. I don't see my baby anywhere, where is my daughter?

Peyton (pushing Brooke's wheel chair toward the exit door): Here she comes

Nurse (placing True into Brooke's arms): True is surely a miracle

Brooke (smiling): I know

Nurse (walking away from Brooke and Peyton): God bless you

Peyton (helping Brooke into truck): My family is finally complete

Brooke (putting on her seat belt): We had a rough start, but never lost heart

Peyton (settling True into her car seat): You are surely a big girl, True. Please don't grow up too fast.

(Delighted, True just cooes making Brooke and Peyton laugh. Peyton is kind enough to help Brooke and True get settled in their house)

Date: 12-25-08

Scene: Christmas Morning-Brooke's house

(Peyton has decided to join Brooke and True for Christmas. They have gathered around the Christmas Tree to open up their gifts)

Brooke: Peyton, I thank you for celebrating Christmas with True and me

Peyton(laughing): No problem

Brooke: True will be upstairs sleeping in her crib if you don't mind

Peyton: No, I don't mind at all

Brooke(looking at the gifts stacked up underneath the tree): OH Look at all of these gifts. I never knew that I was loved this much.

Peyton(laughing): You deserve it, girlie

Brooke(referring to True): Ted is the best Christmas gift that I could ever receive in my life

Peyton: How has giving birth and then becoming a mother changed your outlook on life?

Brooke: True's birth and motherhood has taught me how truly fragile, precious and short life really is. I should never take anything for granted.

Peyton: Your mother is suppose to be here with you. I wonder where she is?

Brooke(choked up): You know how Victoria is

Peyton(choked up): Victoria doesn't want anything to do with you, therefore she buries herself in her work

Brooke: Thats correct

Peyton: Thats so sad

Brooke: At least I will not have to spend Christmas alone this year

Peyton: I don't understand why you wanted to spend Christmas all alone in the first place

Brooke: Nobody wants to spend time with me anymore

Peyton: Thats untrue

Brooke: I thank you for making time for me

Peyton(giving an unopened gift to Brooke): Anyway, I brought this gift for True

Brooke(curious, she opens the gift): I wonder what it is

Peyton: It is baby clothes

Brooke(embracing Peyton): Thanks, Peyton

Peyton: I knew True needed some more clothes so I decided to buy her some more clothes

Brooke(smiling): Thats so sweet of you

Peyton: Who needs a mother like Victoria when you have a friend like me?

Brooke(choked up): But still I wish Victoria would love me for once

-Brooke's Flashback-

Date: 11-18-2008

Situation: Hospital-Ultrasound Test

Brooke (crying as she listens to the baby's heartbeat): I have another human being growing inside of me, it's amazing. Hearing my baby's heartbeat is music to my ears.

Obgyn: The baby's heartbeat sounds good and the placenta is still intact

Brooke (still crying): My beautiful little angel is surely a fighter. All of my prenatal visits have made me to fall even deeper in love with my baby girl.

Peyton (choked up): Please stop crying. You are making me want to cry.

Brooke (sniffling): I am sorry

Obgyn: Brooke, you must take it easy in your condition. The baby's survival depends a lot on your survival.

Brooke (looking at the screen): Is it reality or just my imagination that my baby is making funny faces at me?

Peyton (to Brooke): True is your secret admirer

Brooke: God forbid she becomes my old high school self

Peyton: True has her own destiny

Obgyn: December is almost here and I bet you are excited about giving birth. You might have yourself a Christmas baby.

Brooke (becoming nauseous at the thought of the birth): Somewhat

Obgyn: Where is the baby's father?

Brooke (thinking about her rapist): He is out of the picture, it's complicated

Peyton: Don't worry, Brooke. You will survive.

Brooke: I thank God for friends like you. I love you, Peyton Sawyer.

Peyton: The feeling is mutual

Place: Brooke's house-after the ultrasound test

Event: Brooke's baby shower

Brooke (walking through the front door): I don't want to have a baby shower

Peyton (following behind Brooke): That's too bad

Millicent and Haley (shouting): Surprise!

Brooke (startled, she yells): OH MY GOD

Peyton: We are at your baby shower, Brooke

Brooke (choked up): I thought I told you that I didn't want to have a baby shower

Peyton (laughing): I am sorry

Brooke (crying): I didn't want one, but I thank you for giving me a baby shower

Peyton: You are welcome

Brooke (touching her stomach hoping to feel the baby kick): I am getting as big as my house

Peyton (laughing): But still you are beautiful

Brooke (looking around for Victoria): I don't see my mother anywhere. I wonder why she didn't show up for the baby shower.

Peyton (choked up): You know how Victoria is

Brooke (choked up): She could've at least given me a gift

Haley (giving Brooke a gift): Brooke, this gift is from your mother

Brooke (opening up the gift): Thank God, Victoria did think about me for once

Millicent (curious): Brooke, what did Victoria give you?

Brooke (holding up a snow globe): Victoria gave me a snow globe
