Brooke's p.o.v
Childish innocence
Heavenly heartbeats
Infants come into the world longing to be loved
Living on a prayer, birth is a bittersweet occasion
Diamond eyes breathe and dream big
Reach for the sun, moon and stars
Elusive embryo be worth more valuable than money
Never a burden, someone calls you honey

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)

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
