Time Period: Brooke's Flashback
Date: 12-19-2008
Special Event: Lucas and Peyton's annual Christmas Party
Action: Alone, a heavily pregnant Brooke Davis sits at a table observing people having fun. Peyton and Haley cheer her up.
Peyton (takes a seat at Brooke's table): Hello, B. Davis
Brooke (choked up): Hello
Haley (joining Peyton and Brooke): You are pregnant. This should be a happy time for you.
Brooke (emotional): I was raped
Haley (embracing Brooke): I understand
Brooke: I should've stayed home. Nobody wants to be near a pregnant woman.
Millicent (Brooke's driver): I can take you home right now
Brooke (uncertain): I don't know
Peyton: I appreciate your presence. Life would be boring without you.
Brooke (rubbing her stomach): My baby's birth might occur tomorrow
Haley and Peyton: We'll be there
Brooke (doubtful): Sure
Millicent (concerned): You need to rest. You need to save your strength.
Brooke: Millie, I thank you for your concern. As for now, I am fine.
Millicent: Firstborn babies come late so don't worry

Brooke (shivering, she knocks on the front door): Come on, answer the door
Lucas (walking toward the door): I'm coming
Brooke (startled by Lucas): Lucas
Lucas: I am glad you came to the party
Brooke (moving pass Lucas): I must see Peyton
Peyton (embracing Brooke): Hello, my friend
Brooke (heading toward the buffet): Preparing for the baby has made me hungry
Peyton (shocked and confused): You're pregnant?!
Brooke (eating food): No. I am adopting a baby who is due at anytime.
Peyton: Congratulations
Brooke (a little emotional): My daughter killed herself nine months ago. My adopted son might be born on Christmas. This transition from death to birth has been bittersweet for me.
Peyton (hearing Brooke's cellphone ringing): Your cellphone is ringing
Brooke (leaving the house): I'll be back
Scene: Outside on the front porch
Brooke (answering her cellphone): This is Brooke Davis speaking. Who is this?
The Adoption Agency (on the other line): This is the adoption agency
Brooke: Is there any news about my upcoming adoption?
The agency: The birth mother has decided to keep the baby
Brooke (heartbroken): Why?!
The agency: She feels she can provide for her baby
Brooke (fighting back tears): I understand
The agency: There is still hope for you. A pregnant woman named Mariah is seeking a home for her baby. The baby is due at anytime. Do you want to adopt her baby?
Brooke (with passion and enthusiasm): Yes! I want to adopt Mariah's baby!
The agency: Your contact information will be sent to Mariah
Brooke: Thanks
The agency (hanging up): You are welcome. Goodbye.
