Scene: Clothes Over Bros

Situation: Brooke has returned to work from Maternity Leave

Brooke(pushing True's stroller, she enters the store): Good Morning

Millicent: Good morning, Brooke, welcome back to Clothes Over Bros

Brooke(smiling): Thanks, Millie

Mercy: Good morning,

Brooke(suspicious of Mercy): Good morning, who are you?

Mercy: My name is Mercy James and your mom hired me to work here

Brooke(yelling at Victoria): You are not allowed to hire people until I approve of them first

Victoria: Clothes Over Bros is our company, remember?

Brooke: But still..

Victoria: I can do whatever I want to since I own apart of the company. While you were on maternity leave, I interviewed Mercy and I was impressed with her resume.

Brooke: How did you know if I would like Mercy?

Victoria: Mercy is only just nineteen, but she comes from a very rich family

Brooke: But still...

Victoria: Mercy is going nowhere so get used to it

Brooke(to Mercy): I give you permission to work here at Clothes Over Bros

Mercy(smiling): Thanks, Brooke

(All a sudden True starts crying and Brooke tends to her)

Brooke(holding True): Please stop crying, True, everything is going to be alright

Victoria: True is going to distract you from working. I don't understand why you decided to bring her to work with you.

Brooke(complaining): I don't know anyone that can babysit her. Besides, I love always having her around me.

Victoria(with a sigh): Mothers and babies

Brooke(threatening Victoria): True will run you out of business someday

Victoria(doubtful): I'll doubt it

Peyton (walking into the store): Good morning, everybody

Victoria (to Peyton): What the hell are you doing here?

Peyton: I am here to buy clothes. I am also here for Brooke.

Brooke (embracing Peyton): Thanks

Peyton: No problem, B

Brooke: So how I may help you?

Peyton (rubbing her growing baby bump): I am here to buy maternity clothes

Brooke (curious): For who?

Peyton (smiling, she glows): I am pregnant

Brooke (excited): OH MY GOD, I am going to be an auntie

(True starts crying and Millicent tends to her)

Peyton: I am currently five months pregnant. The baby will born sometime in May. Lucas and me are looking forward to our daughter's arrival.

Brooke: Why didn't you tell me about your pregnancy earlier?

Peyton: I was concerned more about you and True. I didn't want my good news to outshine your happiness.

Brooke (choked up): Peyton, I thank you for sharing your good news with me. You and Lucas will be such wonderful parents.

Peyton (smiling): Thanks

Victoria (angry, she yells): Girls, I have a store to run. I need money.

Peyton (carrying stack of maternity clothes to the cash register): I want to buy these clothes

(Mercy rings up the clothes and gives Peyton change along with a receipt. Peyton embraces Brooke then leaves the store with a bag of clothing)
