Chapter 1: Good news and bad news
Pregnant
Brooke stared in shock at the pregnancy test in front of her. She couldn’t believe it. She, Brooke Davis was pregnant. When she had realized that she was 2 weeks late, she had gone out and brought out 5 pregnancy tests, and each and every one of them had been positive.
As she stared at the last test in her hand, she felt the shock ebb away a little bit, letting a new feeling seep through her. A happy feeling. She had wanted kids for so long, as the reality sank in, she couldn’t help but feel a smile creep on her face.
She had Julian had been dating for a little over 2 months, and for the first time in her life, she felt as if she was truly happy, and despite trying to keep her walls up, she had fell for him. Hard. Neither had sagte I Liebe Du to each other yet, and Brooke wasn’t even sure that Julian loved her, but that didn’t stop her from falling for him deeper with each passing day. And now that she was pregnant with his baby, Brooke couldn’t help but close her eyes, and sigh at how perfect her life was at the moment.
And it was in that position that Sam found her.
“Um Brooke? What are Du holding? And why the hell do Du have such a dorky smile on your face?” Sam demanded as she walked up and snatched up the pregnancy test from her hand, before she could say a word.
“Samantha Walker give that back now,” Brooke said, grabbing for the test, but Sam was too fast for her.
“Not before—Holy crap is this a pregnancy test?” Sam asked stunned as she looked in horror at the stick in her hand.
“What do Du think, Sherlock?” Brooke asked rolling her eyes.
“You’re pregnant?” Sam asked quietly, her eyes glued to the screen reflecting the results.
“Apparently,” Brooke sagte noncommittally, trying to gauge Sam’s reaction before she could express her emotions.
“Is it Julian’s?” Sam asked taking her glazed eyes off the test to look up at her foster mother.
“Of course it’s Julian’s,” Brooke sagte defensively, “Who do Du take me as?”
“I am sorry. I don’t know why I asked that. I am just really surprised,” Sam sagte apologetically, handing the test back to Brooke.
“It’s okay. I could read the shock on your face,” Brooke sagte understandingly, placing a hand on Sam’s shoulder, “But now that the initial shock is over, what do Du think?”
“What do Du mean, what do I think?” Sam asked quietly, wondering if Brooke would want to get rid of her now that she was having a kid of her own.
“Well, me being pregnant greatly affects Du too. So I want to know what think about all this,” Brooke clarified.
“I’ll be fine,” Sam sagte putting up a strong face, “I mean I have lived in a foster Home before—”
“Wait, wait, foster families? What are Du talking about?” Brooke asked confused.
“Well now that you’re going to have your own baby, aren’t Du going to send me away? I mean who would want to deal with a teenager like me, when they’re having their own kid,” Sam sagte emotionlessly, looking away from Brooke’s face.
“Here we go with the uncertainty again,” Brooke sagte shaking her head, “Sam I told Du before, and I am going to tell Du once again, I have no intention of letting Du go unless Du want to leave. You’re a part of my life now, and just because I am having a baby doesn’t mean that I am going to care any less about you.”
“Why? I thought Du only took me in because Du wanted kids, but now that you’re having your own kid, why would Du want to put up with me and my stier, bull crap?” Sam asked softly.
“Because I Liebe you,” Brooke sagte simply.
“You Liebe me?” Sam asked surprised.
“Of course I do,” Brooke sagte as if it was the most obvious thing in the world, “I thought that was a given.”
“Nobody has ever told me that they loved me,” Sam sagte quietly and Brooke felt her herz break for the girl in front of her.
“Oh honey, I Liebe you. I Liebe Du so, so much. You’re like my daughter, and no matter how many kids I have, I’ll always consider Du to be my first one,” Brooke sagte seriously.
“Wow,” Sam sagte softly.
“What?” Brooke asked confused.
“Julian sagte the exact same thing,” Sam sagte wonderingly.
“What do mean? Did Du and Julian ever talk about kids,” Brooke asked eagerly.
“No, well kinda, I mean one Tag we were talking, and I told him how Du would want to get rid of me once Du have your own kids. And Julian looks at me and says ‘Samson, Brooke loves you. You’re like her daughter, so she can have eight kids, but she’ll always consider Du to be her first one’, and Du basically sagte the exact same thing,” Sam explained, “Oh and he also sagte that if Du ever kick me out, I can always go crash at his place.”
“Jeez Sam, nice to know Du have so much faith in me,” Sam sagte sarcastically.
“Sorry,” Sam said, “But with the kind of life I have, Du can’t blame me for being uncertain can you?”
“Yeah, I guess not,” Brooke agreed, “But now that Du know that Du have a stable home, can Du please tell me how Du feel about this?”
“I think it’s awesome,” Sam sagte seriously, “I’ve always wanted a younger brother and sister, so this is great. I am going to have so much fun spoiling that kid rotten, and teaching him oder her how to break rules without getting caught.”
“Sam Walker, you’re going to do no such thing,” Brooke sagte appalled, “I just found out I am pregnant and I am already dreading it.”
“Oh don’t worry,” Sam sagte rolling her eyes, “I’ll am pretty sure your husband will be on my side.”
“No, he is—Wait my husband?” Brooke asked quirking her eyebrows.
“Julian,” Sam sagte simply.
“He’s not going to be my husband,” Brooke sagte blushing, “We’ve only been dating for two months and—”
“And you’re already in Liebe with him,” Sam finished, “And if the way Du two act is any indication, then he is just as much in Liebe with Du as Du are with him. So I will be surprised if Du don’t have a ring on your finger before this kid is born.”
“Alright Sam, now that’s pushing it,” Brooke sagte lightly.
“No it isn’t,” Sam sagte stubbornly, “I know Du Liebe him, so don’t even try to deny it. And Von the way Julian talks about you, I am pretty sure he loves Du too.”
“Okay so maybe you’re right about me. But I don’t know about Julian. I know he likes me, but love?” Brooke asked uncertainly.
“Brooke he talks about Du all the time. Whenever I meet him at the coffee shop, he always has this story about how wonderful Du are. And the way he looks at you. It’s so cheesy that I have to look the other way so I don’t throw up. So trust me mom, he loves you. He just hasn’t gotten the guts to say it yet. In fact, Peyton and I have a wager going on as to when he’ll say those three forbidden words to you,” Sam sagte seriously.
“Wagers? I am not even going to ask,” Brooke sagte shaking her head, “Alright, so let’s say you’re right. That he might Liebe me. But what if he’s not ready to be a dad? What if he freaks out and breaks up with me when he finds out about the pregnancy?”
“Brooke he would never do that. He’s not that kind of a guy,” Sam sagte comfortingly watching as he foster mother’s face went from happy to uncertain and even scared in a span of a couple of seconds.
“I know he’s not that kind of a guy Sam. But this is big. This wasn’t planned; and we’ve only been going out for two months. Not everyone is willing to take such a huge responsibility just two months into a relationship. We haven’t even thought about the possibility of having kids, and me just springing this on him, might kill this relationship for good,” Brooke sagte in a small voice, because now that she was starting to think about this situation, she was beginning to see how having a baby can have Mehr cons than pros.
“Brooke, Julian grew up with a horrible dad, and he knows how it feels to practically grow up without a father. I am pretty sure he would want to be there for his kid no matter how bad the timing is,” Sam sagte seriously.
“But what if he asks to have an abortion?” Brooke asked horrified as another possibility came to her, “I wouldn’t be able to do that. I wouldn’t be able to kill my own kid.”
“Julian will never ask Du to do something that Du wouldn’t want to do. He’s not Dan, Brooke,” Sam sagte firmly, hardly believing that Brooke thought Julian was going to force her into killing their kid.
“I know—Wait, how do Du know about Dan?” Brooke asked side tracked.
“I guess I’ve been spending a lot of time with Peyton and Lucas,” Sam sagte shrugging, “But the point is that Julian would never force Du into anything.”
“I know. I know he wouldn’t do that,” Brooke sighed.
“Then what’s the real problem?” Sam asked confused.
“I am happy Sam. I am really happy. This is the first time in my life that things are going the way I want them to be. For the first time, I am actually satisfied. And now finding out that I am having Julian’s baby, the scenario just seems too perfect. I can’t help but feel that this is the calm before the storm. Feeling this happy and at ease with life is a foreign feeling to me, and I am afraid that something is going to happen that will end up knocking me back to the ground. I don’t want to go through that again, not after finding out what true happiness is like,” Brooke sagte vulnerably.
“You know that’s exactly how I felt. When Du took me in and started caring for me, it was all new to me. In all my life, I have never been taken care of. But I loved it, and that’s why I was being so rebellious. Because I wanted to see how much Du could take. I wanted to test your limits and see if Du would throw me out like all of my other foster families. I didn’t want to get too comfortable to just being miserable again. But then Du proved to me again and again that Du weren’t going to get rid of me. Du made me realize that feeling happy isn’t a forbidden feeling. And a person like that deserves their happy ending no matter how sappy it is. I think life has shown Du enough hardships, it’s time to feel happy again,” Sam sagte wisely.
“Thank you,” Brooke sagte softly after a couple of seconds, a smile slowly appearing on her face.
“You’re welcome,” Sam sagte grinning, “I can’t believe I sagte all that stuff. That’s so out of character for me.”
“You think?” Brooke asked quirking her eyebrows, “I was thinking that Du had traded bodies with Haley oder something.”
“Well don’t expect it anytime soon again. This wiseness streak just comes once in a blue moon,” Sam sagte rolling her eyes.
“You do realize that you’re the best right?” Brooke asked pulling her foster daughter into a hug.
“And Du do realize that you’re in Liebe with Julian right?” Sam asked pulling back.
“Yes, yes, I think I am,” Brooke sagte smiling lightly as she acknowledged her feelings out loud for the first time.
“Great, now would Du mind repeating that one Mehr time so I can record it?” Sam asked pulling out her cell phone.
“Wait what?” Brooke asked confused.
“Repeat what Du just said, I need proof to Zeigen to Peyton so I can get my 15 dollars,” Sam explained.
“Do I even want to know?” Brooke asked tiredly.
“Not really, just say it will you? I really need those 15 dollars,” Sam sagte urgently, hitting the record button on her phone.
And as Brooke repeated the words to the phone, she couldn’t help but feel that this just might be her happy ending. And honestly, she wouldn’t want it any other way.

Meanwhile…
“Dad what the hell is the big emergency? And why won’t Lucas say anything?” Julian demanded as he barged in his dad’s suite at baum Hill’s Hilton.
“Julian, about time Du got here,” Paul sagte as he appeared holding a glass of champagne, “I have something very important to discuss with Du and I am pretty sure it’s going to be distressing, so I would Guter Rat Du to take a seat.”
“Okay enough with the suspense already. Will Du just tell me what the hell is going on?” Julian asked impatiently.
“Alright, ‘The Ravens’ have been cancelled,” Paul sagte simply.
“What? What are Du talking about? How can the Ravens be cancelled? We just had our last meeting two days ago, everything seemed fine then. What happened?” Julian asked stunned.
“Dixon quit. He sagte Du guys were being ridiculously uncooperative and that he’s had enough, so he left,” Paul explained.
“We were being uncooperative? He was the one who wanted to twist everything in the book. And what does Lucas have to say about this?” Julian asked appalled.
“I called him after Dixon left, and he sagte that he would rather not have the movie made than have a director who doesn’t understand the material. I made it very clear to him that if Dixon leaves, the movie will be cancelled, and he sagte he was fine with that,” Paul sagte shrugging.
“But what if we get another—”
“Director? Yeah that’s what Lucas asked in the beginning too. But it’s too late for that now. We would never be able to make the movie within our deadline with a new director. So, that’s out of the question. It’s either Dixon oder nothing. Lucas chose the latter, and since he’s the writer, he gets the last word,” Paul sagte firmly.
“This is unbelievable. Absolutely unbelievable. I worked so hard to get this movie started, and it’s all for nothing?” Julian asked aghast.
“That’s showbiz Julian. Du make some and Du break some. That’s life,” Paul sagte unaffected Von his son’s distress.
“But—”
“Wait, I am not done yet,” Paul sagte interrupting his son, “I also have some good news for you.”
“Good news? I don’t think anything you’ll say Weiter will be good news,” Julian sagte rolling his eyes.
“Oh no, this is really good news,” Paul sagte smiling for the first time, “I have just gotten an offer from the Autor of the teen series ‘Gossip Girl’ and she wants Du to make her series into a movie.”
“The Autor of Gossip girl wants to make her series into a movie?” Julian asked stunned.
“Yeah, I was surprised too. I mean off all the talented producers in the world, she went off and picked you. But who was I to refuse to such an amazing deal. So, I signed Du up. Gossip girl is your Weiter official project,” Paul sagte proudly.
“You signed me up? Du signed me up without asking me about it?” Julian asked angrily.
“You should be thanking me son. Von this time Weiter year, you’ll be one of the biggest producers of Hollywood. Your career is made from this film. Du should be jumping up and down from joy,” Paul said, not understanding why Julian looked so angry.
“You signed me up, without even asking for my opinion? I don’t believe this. How the hell could Du do that?” Julian raged.
“Excuse me for wanting Du to become the best. Producers would give anything to be in your position right now. I did Du a huge favor, I don’t know why you’re being such an arsch about it,” Paul sagte aggravated.
“Where do we make this film?” Julian asked, ignoring his dad’s comments.
“Hollywood of course. Du leave for LA in a week,” Paul sagte shrugging.
“I am not going back,” Julian blurted out.
“What do Du mean you’re not going back? You’re not going to spend your entire life in baum hügel are you? Du can’t succeed in Zeigen biz sitting in this remote town. And anyways, Du have a meeting with the crew of the film in a week, so Du better start packing,” Paul sagte turning away.
“I am not 15 years old again Paul. I don’t have to do anything Du tell me to do. I don’t want to leave baum Hill, and Du should have talked to me before signing me up for a film like that,” Julian sagte firmly.
“Well it’s too late for that now isn’t it? I have assigned Du to be on that film, and unless Du get your act together, I will have to feuer you, and I can promise Du that if I feuer Du from my firm, Du are not getting a job anywhere,” Paul sagte sternly.
“You can’t do that. I am your son,” Julian sagte appalled.
“Like Du sagte Julian, Du walked out of me 8 years ago, to me you’re just another head trying its luck in Hollywood, and I am going to treat Du like that,” Paul said.
“But—”
“It’s because of that girl isn’t it? Peyton’s friend, the one you’re dating. She’s the reason Du don’t want to leave?” Paul asked quirking his eyebrows.
“Maybe, but that’s not the point—”
“Then what is the point Julian? I never thought I’d see the Tag where Du would put a girl over your career,” Paul sagte contemplatively.
“She’s not just a girl. She means a lot to me,” Julian sagte quietly.
“Peyton meant a lot to Du too, but Du moved on didn’t you. I am sure you’ll Bewegen on from this one too,” Paul said, waving his hand as if it was no big deal.
“Yeah but—”
“No buts Julian. This is it. This is the movie of your career, the movie that will make my firm the most beliebt in Hollywood. So it’s either the girl, oder the end of your career,” Paul sagte firmly as he walked towards him, “You have one week to make your decision. These are your plane tickets. I hope to see Du oder your resignation letter in my office in LA Weiter Monday.”

“Hollywood of course. Du leave for LA in a week,” Paul sagte shrugging.
“I am not going back,” Julian blurted out.
“What do Du mean you’re not going back? You’re not going to spend your entire life in baum hügel are you? Du can’t succeed in Zeigen biz sitting in this remote town. And anyways, Du have a meeting with the crew of the film in a week, so Du better start packing,” Paul sagte turning away.
“I am not 15 years old again Paul. I don’t have to do anything Du tell me to do. I don’t want to leave baum Hill, and Du should have talked to me before signing me up for a film like that,” Julian sagte firmly.
“Well it’s too late for that now isn’t it? I have assigned Du to be on that film, and unless Du get your act together, I will have to feuer you, and I can promise Du that if I feuer Du from my firm, Du are not getting a job anywhere,” Paul sagte sternly.
“You can’t do that. I am your son,” Julian sagte appalled.
“Like Du sagte Julian, Du walked out of me 8 years ago, to me you’re just another head trying its luck in Hollywood, and I am going to treat Du like that,” Paul said.
“But—”
“It’s because of that girl isn’t it? Peyton’s friend, the one you’re dating. She’s the reason Du don’t want to leave?” Paul asked quirking his eyebrows.
“Maybe, but that’s not the point—”
“Then what is the point Julian? I never thought I’d see the Tag where Du would put a girl over your career,” Paul sagte contemplatively.
“She’s not just a girl. She means a lot to me,” Julian sagte quietly.
“Peyton meant a lot to Du too, but Du moved on didn’t you. I am sure you’ll Bewegen on from this one too,” Paul said, waving his hand as if it was no big deal.
“Yeah but—”
“No buts Julian. This is it. This is the movie of your career, the movie that will make my firm the most beliebt in Hollywood. So it’s either the girl, oder the end of your career,” Paul sagte firmly as he walked towards him, “You have one week to make your decision. These are your plane tickets. I hope to see Du oder your resignation letter in my office in LA Weiter Monday.”
