Alright! This is the end! I enjoyed writing this so much and I hope you enjoyed reading it. This is kinda corny too, but that's okay. I like it that way! :D
Enjoy!
It had been a year. One whole year since her and Lucas had been together. She smiled as she looked through her photo album filled with pictures of their wedding. It had been a beautiful one, with all their friends and family. It was around December when she had become Brooke Davis- Scott. It had also been the time when their daughter was born. Apparently, after their little "fun night" when they were drunk back when he was with Lindsey, Brooke had became pregnant with her first child, figuring out when she went to have a check-up.
She put down the album down when her two year old came toddling in. She could barely stand up and Brooke smiled when she fell gracefully to the ground only to try it again. They had named her Penelope James Scott. She was so beautiful with her dark brown curls and her bright blue eyes. Brooke stood up and picked up her daughter before going into the kitchen.
As she prepared their lunch, she reflected on her life so far. She was still designing and Lucas was an even greater author than before. They only lived a few blocks from Haley and Peyton, who came over nearly everyday, and Karen had decided to move back after learning that Brooke was pregnant. There were only a few people who were disappointed about the Lindsey and Lucas wedding not happening, mainly Lindsey's family.
Brooke smiled as she remembered the night Lucas proposed to her. It was about a month before they got married.
"Brooke?" Brooke looked up at Lucas. He had taken them out to a fancy restaurant on the outskirts of town. She was now eight months pregnant and bigger than ever.
"Yeah Luke?" He stood up and walked over to her and got on one knee. Her mouth fell as she realized what he was doing. She dropped her fork as he grabbed her right hand.
"Brooke, I love you and I'm so excited that I can share this with you. I'm so happy that's it you who is having my child," he paused as she got teary-eyed. "I've always loved you Brooke and it would be an honor if you would be my wife. Brooke Penelope Davis will you marry me?"
Brooke who, by now was in tears, nodded. "Yes, yes I will." The whole restaurant clapped along with her answer and they kissed.
"Ma..ma," Penelope said when she noticed her mother wasn't paying attention to her. Brooke shook out of her memory and smiled at her. Penelope, who was glad that her mother's attention was back on her, went back to playing with her toy. Brooke laughed and remembered the day she was born.
A very tired Brooke was pushing as hard as she could to get her child out. She gripped Lucas' hand so hard, that even he was wishing for this whole thing to hurry up.
"Push!" The doctor yelled and Brooke groaned.
"Lucas, we are never having sex again. Do you understand me?" Lucas gulped, afraid for his life while Haley, who was also in the room, laughed as she remembered yelling that to Nathan.
"One more push, come on." Brooke pushed one last time and her eyes watered when she heard a baby cry.
"Oh, is she out?" The doctor nodded and Lucas pressed a kiss to her forehead. Once the baby was all wrapped up, they handed her to her mother. Brooke gaped at the little baby as the tears flowed down her face.
"Look at her Luke, she's so tiny."
Lucas smiled. "Yeah and she's ours." She quickly pecked Lucas and had to give the baby back to the nurses for cleaning and checking for anything wrong.
"So, what do want to name her?" One of the nurses asked. Brooke looked to Haley and Lucas.
"Penelope James Scott." The nurse wrote it down.
Haley smiled. "You used my middle name."
"Your also godmother." Haley smiled at this and hugged her best friend. "And Nathan is godfather."
"Ah, were godparents to each other's kids," she squealed before calming herself down. "Well, I'll go tell Nathan the news and everyone else." She kissed Brooke's forehead. "Get some rest." Walking out, she winked at Lucas.
"Thank you Lucas," Brooke whispered as soon as Haley was out.
"For what?"
"For giving all this to me. I'm so happy now."
"Me too, pretty girl, me too." She smiled at the nickname before closing her eyes and just enjoying the moment while Lucas held tight onto her hand.
Brooke snapped out of her daydream when she heard a scream. She looked over and Penelope was laughing as their dog, Bax who they had adopted a few months ago, played with her. They had found Bax when they were out shopping. He was just a mutt but Penelope took a liking to him instantly. She smiled when he licked her face.
"Guess what Penelope?" Penelope, who couldn't understand her mother, turned and listened.
"Your gonna have a baby brother or sister," she told the baby, who just cocked her head and giggled.
"Yeah, I'm excited too." She was in fact excited. This was her second child and Lucas didn't know yet but she had a good plan on how to tell him. Everyone was coming over for dinner tonight but she was gonna tell him beforehand. He would know when he got home from coaching.
She went back into the kitchen to get some fruit for them when she suddenly remembered when she learned she was pregnant.
"Brooke Davis, I presume?"
"Yeah," she smiled when the doctor walked in. She looked over at Lucas and raised an eyebrow.
"Her boyfriend." The doctor nodded at his statement and went to examine Brooke. Once she had, she left, promising to return with the results.
"What results? Its just a normal check-up." Lucas just shrugged and a few minutes later, the doctor walked back in and smiled.
"Mrs. Davis, is there any possibility that you could be pregnant?"
"I don't think so. Why?"
"Well," the doctor paused. "You are. The results say it."
"What?" Brooke asked, who was shocked beyond comprehension. "How far along am I?"
"I would guess about twelve weeks or so."
Lucas, who had stopped breathing temporarily looked up. "It must have been when we..that night."
"Oh," was all she said. "Well, thank you doctor." The doctor nodded and handed Brooke a pamphlet on pregnancy before leaving.
"Were pregnant."
Lucas nodded. "Yeah."
"Well, what..are you okay with this?" Brooke, said tearing up, afraid that he might not want her anymore.
"Brooke, what's wrong?"
"Do...do you still want me?" Lucas laughed and she looked up, hurt that he would turn this into a joke.
"Brooke, your crazy," he said and she looked up sadly. "No, I meant your crazy to think that. Brooke, I love you and I'll love the boy or girl that's inside you." She smiled and kissed him.
"So, you'll put up with my hormonal-ness?"
"Well, I'll have to even if it scares me."
Brooke sighed. "Me too." She rested her head on his chest and he kissed her forehead.
"Well, lets get going."
"Baby shopping!" Brooke yelled excitedly as they walked out of the room.
"And this is the part I dreaded."
Brooke laughed at the memory. She walked over to the couch and sat down, eating a few pieces of fruit as she did. She handed a tiny piece to Penelope and laughed when she threw it to Bax.
"Your one crazy girl. I hope your daddy is prepared to handle you when your a teenager. He better be if you were anything like me." When Brooke had first had her, she was afraid she would be exactly like her mother. That was, until everyone convinced her otherwise. She hadn't seen or heard from Victoria since she fired her. She didn't even know she had a granddaughter, but she probably wouldn't care, considering she never liked Lucas anyway. Karen was more of a mother to Brooke anyway.
Brooke looked up when she heard a car pull up and went to look out the window. She squealed excitedly when she saw Lucas get out. Walking into the tiny closet, she picked up the tiny box and waited for him in the living room.
"Brooke?" He yelled.
"In here," he heard her call from the living room. Walking in, he saw her on the couch and Penelope playing with Bax. He picked her up and kissed her cheek.
"Hey girlie," he cooed and she giggled. Her dimples showed and it reminded him of Brooke. When she began to fuss, he put her down and she resumed her play with Bax.
"Hey Brooke," he greeted and kissed her on the cheek. She didn't say anything, but handed him a tiny white box. He looked at her confused but opened it anyway. When he did, he was shocked but turned to her and smiled.
"You are?" She nodded and he hugged her before kissing her. Inside the box had been a positive pregnancy test. "This is great!"
"Yeah, it is," she smiled. "I plan to tell everyone at dinner."
"That's good." Brooke smiled and laid her head on his shoulder as they watched their daughter and Bax play.
"Nathan!" A very pregnant Haley yelled as she tried to get from the bed to her couch. She was due in a few weeks and Nathan was going crazy as he did things for her, not remembering it being this bad when she was pregnant with Jamie.
"Yeah?"
"Where are you?" He sighed when she asked. He rarely got alone time now that she was on a hormone-filled schedule and sometimes it irritated him to no end.
"Um, with Jamie." Jamie, who was now five, was playing a computer game while Nathan helped him. After everything that happened, they had gotten closer as a family and Nathan tried to be with them as much as possible.
"Nathan?" He heard her voice and turned to see her standing in the doorway, rubbing her swollen stomach gently.
"Yeah?"
"You still think its a good idea to bring her?"
"I don't know. I mean, I guess. She has someone new now."
"But what if?" Haley asked, unsure of the idea they had conjured. Nathan stood up and walked over to her, placing a kiss on her head.
"It'll be fine. They might kill us."
"No, I don't want to be," she said, half-kidding, half-serious. "I want to have this baby!"
"Don't worry sweetie," he told her before saying the rest under his breathe. "They're all to scared of you to anyway."
"What was that?"
"Nothing," he said quickly, afraid that she would decide to take out her anger on him.
"Let's go get ready Jamie!" Jamie looked up and smiled.
"For Uncle Luke's?"
"Yup," Haley told him and he jumped up to get ready, eager to see his younger cousin.
"Peyton's coming too!" Brooke yelled from the bathroom. She was giving Penelope a bath and it was not going well. Lucas walked in and laughed when he saw them both covered in soap.
"Yeah, I know. She called earlier." Brooke nodded and went back to washing her and ended up getting soap on Lucas who just shook his head and went to change his shirt.
Brooke had eventually gotten her washed and dressed. The little girl walked around, staring at her dress and her new shoes.
"I like!" She squealed excitedly.
"They are cute," Brooke smiled and picked her up when she heard the doorbell ring. Opening the door, she saw Peyton and Jake along with Katie.
"Hey guys!"
"B. Davis!" Peyton greeted. "Where's your handsome husband? Oh, there's adorable." Penelope laughed at the face Peyton made towards her and Katie smiled at her "cousin".
"Hey Jake," Brooke greeted. Jake smiled and then Lucas suddenly appeared.
"Hey Luke," Jake said. Lucas smiled and they did their handshake. The girls rolled their eyes and guided their daughters to the backyard to play.
"So how have you two been?" Peyton asked. Brooke smiled and Peyton could see the glow that surrounded her. "I haven't seen you this happy in so long. Somethings different today, but I can't figure it out." Brooke hoped that she wouldn't figure it out before dinner. She wanted it to be a surprise for everyone. Peyton just shrugged it off and Brooke sighed.
"Anyways, we've been good. Penelope has been great!"
"That's good," Peyton said. "I'm happy for you." Brooke smiled at her. "So, is the tutor mom coming?"
"Yeah," she replied. "She should be here. Their bringing a guest apparently." At that, Peyton's eyes went nearly wide. Brooke noticed this and gave her a questioning glance. "You okay?"
"Allergies," she answered. Before Brooke could say another word the doorbell rang again and she heard Lucas yell that he would get it. Brooke laughed and went to the door too, making it just on time as the door opened and Brooke nearly stopped breathing.
"Hi Haley," she greeted and held a tight smiled as she saw the person behind her. Brooke glared at her and let them in. Lucas, who hadn't said anything, just went straight to the living room while Peyton had just come in with the girls. Once everyone was in there, the room went silent.
"It's nice to see you again Lindsey," Brooke broke the silence. Lindsey smiled at her. "Who's the man?" Brooke pointed to the cute guy next to her and Lindsey blushed.
"This is Damien," she answered. "My fiance."
"Oh," Brooke said, half of her relieved that she wasn't gonna try and steal Lucas back or kill her for taking him. "Well, nice to meet you Damien." He smiled and shook her hand. Brooke nudged Lucas, who had yet to say anything.
"Hi Lindsey," he said, giving her a hug.
"You look good Luke." Brooke, even though she was over it, wanted to hurt the woman. She was touching her man. God, she hated hormones. "Oh my gosh Peyton! You had another one?"
"No," Peyton laughed before handing Penelope to Brooke. "She's Brooke's." Lindsey's eyes flashed jealously for a moment before they went calm and she smiled.
"She's adorable. What's her name?"
Brooke smiled at the compliment. "Her name is Penelope."
"How old is she?" Brooke dreaded the question and didn't want to answer it. Giving her the answer would most likely give away the fact about what happened before they had gotten together. So she did the thing she knew best; she lied.
"She's one."
"Oh," was all she said before she turned her attention to Peyton. Brooke motioned for Haley to meet her in the hall. Brooke handed Penelope to Lucas and headed to where Haley went.
Before Haley had a chance to say anything, Brooke blew up on her. "How the hell could you bring her here?"
"I thought you were over it."
"I am!" She nearly yelled. "But it doesn't make me feel any less bad or nervous."
"Sorry. She called and we couldn't say no. But hey, she's got a fiance."
"Yeah," Brooke said sarcastically. "Another one."
"Brooke-"
"Sorry, its just the hormones." Brooke knew she had given it away the moment she said it. Haley was always there when she was pregnant and knew how Brooke acted. Haley smiled as the realization kicked in.
"Are you pregnant?" Brooke didn't say anything and Haley squealed. "How far?"
"About 10 weeks or so."
"Does Luke know?"
"Yeah," Brooke smiled and then frowned. "I was gonna tell everyone at dinner, but now I can't with her here."
"Why not?"
"Because, it would be awkward."
"Just do it." Brooke groaned and shrugged before heading back out to the living room where everyone was talking. She smiled and her and Haley began dinner.
Dinner was ready and everyone was at the huge table. Brooke smiled at everyone once they sat and they began eating. They all talked animatedly with each other while she helped Penelope with her food. Lucas watched as Brooke nervously picked at her food. He quickly put his hand on her leg and she smiled before standing up.
"Guys!" It was silent in a matter of minutes. "I have an announcement."
"What is it?" Peyton asked.
Brooke smiled. "I'm pregnant...again!" Peyton smiled and congratulated her while Nathan and Haley did the same. Lindsey just smiled and sat back, watching the scene. Brooke, who noticed her, felt as though the situation, which was so familiar, had reversed roles.
Dinner went smoothly after that, minus the fact that Brooke was entirely nervous and jittery the whole time. After her announcement, Lindsey wouldn't even look at her and that made her feel bad. She couldn't help it and after they had cleaned up, she went to sit outside by herself.
She heard the door open and shut and was about to get up but felt someone sit next to her.
"Hey," she heard a voice say. She sighed when she realized who it was.
"Hi Lindsey."
"Listen Brooke, I'm sorry about dinner. I didn't mean to be so-"
Brooke cut her off. "It's okay. I understand." Lindsey smiled before looking up at the dark sky.
"You know, I always knew that you and Lucas had something, but I think I chose to ignore it. I'm glad that you two are together and happy."
"Lindsey-"
"No, I really am. I may seem stand-offish but I'm not. It's just that now that I'm seeing him so happy, it's just, I don't know. I mean, it's weird."
"Yeah, I know what you mean. So, what about Damien?"
Lindsey smiled. "He's great. He's a lawyer though, so he's gone a lot."
"I'm sorry."
"No," Lindsey shrugged. "I'm used to it."
"Do you love him?"
"I don't know. How can you tell?" Brooke couldn't believe that she was asking her for advice, but she smiled none the less, and gave her what she needed to hear.
"I think it's when you know that you can't live without that person and it hurt when they were with other people."
"Mhm," Lindsey muttered.
"It's hard, you know? I can't say much because the only mad I've loved is inside but it's just a always happy feeling, I guess?"
"I think," Lindsey paused. "That I do. I mean I feel that way but part of me still loves Lucas." Brooke sighed at her confession.
"I'm sorry. Sometimes I wish it would have been different, like I could have loved someone else and not ruined everything but then sometimes I'm glad that I didn't."
"I'm glad you didn't."
"Why so?" Brooke asked, confused.
"Then I never would have met Damien. I know it sounds weird, but I do."
"When did you two get engaged?"
"A month ago."
Brooke smiled. "Congratulations!"
"You too on the baby."
"Thank you. It means a lot." Brooke clapped her hands together. "Well, I better get going. I heard Peyton screaming or crying, one of the two." Lindsey laughed and stood up as well. As Brooke reached the door she heard her name and turned back to Lindsey.
"How old is Penelope? Honestly?"
Brooke sighed. "Two years."
"So-" Brooke nodded and waited for the beating to come. She looked at Lindsey who just smiled and walked up next to her.
"I hope the best for you guys." Brooke smiled and went inside as Lindsey followed.
That night, while she was laying in bed, Brooke thought about everything. She and Lindsey were semi-friends. They talked and told each other that they would call but it still felt so weird. She looked over to where Lucas and Penelope were fast asleep and smiled at her family. This was her first true family and she was so happy to be apart of it.
Even though it was awkward with Lindsey, she felt better knowing that Lindsey wasn't totally depressed and had moved on. She was glad that everything worked out in the end. She smiled one last time before her eyes shut and her dreams took over.
Thats it! Fini, end! I don't want to end it, but there is nothing more I can do with it. I hope you all liked it.
Please Review it one last time! I want to thank you all so much for your reviews. They helped me want to complete this.
Anyways, goodbye for now. I still have one other story though and keep on the lookout for new ones! :D
