Authors Note: Hi folks this is my very first fan fiction story ever. My wife writes stories as does my two secret girlfriend's. I've been thinking about writing a story for a while but when I saw that both of my secret girlfriend's posted stories based on one of my wife's and my favorite T.V. Shows I decided that I'd try to write a story for a show that I know real well before branching off to another show or two that I've been watching. Now remember this is my first fic ever so please be nice. This story is dedicated to my three special women Live-4-CM, Angel N Darkness and Randallsbaby. It takes place during Season five and will be AU as Crystal told me to put to a certain extent.

Disclaimer: I don't own One Tree Hill or any of the characters on the show.

Peyton Sawyer couldn't believe that she had finally come home. After being away from Tree Hill for four years she was nervous about being back. She was back for two reasons and she wasn't sure about telling those she loved that she was back let alone why she was back. She knew that eventually all of her old friends would figure it out that she was back in town but she decided at that moment that she wanted to get her and her twin daughters settled in before letting anyone know that she was back.

She was thankful that she had thought ahead of time to have all of their belongings shipped to them so that she only had to stop and get the two suitcases that they had brought with them. Holding on to her daughters hands she led the way over to the baggage claim area and let out a sigh of relief that her suitcases were ones of the first ones coming their way.

She looked down at Brooklyn and Brianna and said "Now you two Mommy is going to let go of your hands but you both stay right beside me while I grab our suitcases. Okay?"

Her four year old daughters nodded and chorused "Yes, Mommy."

Peyton couldn't help but smile as she let go of their hands and grabbed their suitcases before arranging the suitcases to where she could take one of Brooklyn's and one of Brianna's hands back into her own as she led them out of the airport. She smiled in relief that she wouldn't have to wait on a cab since one was there and she quickly got her daughters in it before getting in beside them after putting the suitcases on the floor board of the backseat. She sat back in her seat and let out a sigh of relief after giving the driver her address.

Once she got the suitcases out of the cab and paid the driver she helped Brianna and Brooklyn out and held their hands as she walked up to the front door of her childhood home. She was happy that she was able to buy it back from the people who had bought the house from her father. She really wanted some place familiar for her and her daughters. After setting the suitcases down she looked down at her daughters and saw the excitement in their eyes. She was just thankful that the family that she had bought the place from was nice enough to take the delivery of the beds for the girls and offered to set them up.

"Alright my Princesses I know its late and you two are tired so how about I pull out your jammies and then put you to bed?" Peyton asked as she saw that her girls' eyes were trying to fall shut. She was just thankful that they had ate on the plane and wouldn't want anything else til morning.

Brooklyn smiled up at her Mom. "That is fine with us Mommy. We're tired."

Peyton chuckled and after grabbing the suitcase that held her daughters clothes in it she led them up the stairs and to their bedroom. She quickly took off their clothes and put their nightgowns on and then tucked both of them into their beds and said their prayers with them. She smiled as she heard both girls bless people they have never met but have heard about from her. She knew then that girls would get along great with all of her old friends.

"Alright my sweet darling girls Mommy will be in the room across the hall if you need me. I love you." Peyton said after giving each girl a kiss on the head.

"We love you too Mommy." Brooklyn and Brianna chorused together.

Peyton smiled as she made her way out of the room and across to her old bedroom. She gave a relieved smile when she saw that the Grant's had also set up her bed. She couldn't believe how lucky she was that they not only were willing to sell her the house back but that they had been willing to be at the house for the delivery of the beds. She didn't bother changing because she was in pain and exhausted and now that she was semi alone she could admit to herself that she went way to long with out medicine. After taking her pills she climbed into her bed and let her eyes drift shut. She knew that tomorrow she would probably run into someone that she knew and she wasn't sure if she was ready for that yet.

Peyton woke up in pain but tried to stay still until it passed. She should have known that wouldn't have worked with her energetic daughters. She couldn't even get the breath to tell them no running or jumping like they like to in the mornings to wake her up because she was trying not to scream at how much pain she was in. She couldn't bite back the cry of pain that worked its way out of her throat as soon as Brianna and Brooklyn both ran in and jumped on her bed and landed on her.

"Mommy, we're hungry!" Brianna said.

Peyton sucked in a deep breath and realized she wasn't going to be able to move right now. No matter how much she tried to make herself move she knew that she had waited to long to not only for her medicine but for the treatment she needed. She knew that she needed to get her daughters something to eat but with the amount of pain that she was in she wasn't sure how she was going to do that. She turned her head and saw her cell phone and decided that she'd call her best guy friend. She knew that this wasn't the way that she wanted him to find out that she was back in town but she also knew that there wasn't any other way to let him know now.

"Okay babies I need you to go play in your bedroom for a minute. Okay?" Peyton said through her clenched teeth. It wasn't that she was mad or anything it was just that she was clenching her teeth so that she didn't scream out in pain.

Brooklyn looked at her Mom and knew something was wrong so her being the smart girl she was grabbed her Mommy's cell phone and handed it to her before saying "Alright Mommy we'll be in our bedroom."

Peyton gave a slight strained smile to her daughters and watched as they ran out of her bedroom and to the bedroom across the hall. She took in a deep breath and then let it out slowly as she dialed a familiar number.

She took in another deep breath and held it in as she waited on her friend to answer and she let the breath out as Nathan's voice filled the silence with "Hey Sawyer."

She couldn't help but smile slightly but then another sharp pain ran through her side and she let out a cry of pain before saying "Nathan, I need you."

Nathan's eyes widened at the cry of pain he heard and widened even more after Peyton's statement. "I'll be on the first flight out to L.A. Peyt."

Peyton couldn't help but chuckle even though it hurt her and she whispered "No, need to fly to L.A. Nathan. I'm in Tree Hill. I'm at my old house. Can you not tell anyone I'm back in town please? But I really do need you Nathan."

Nathan sucked in a breath at what Peyton said but he could tell from the sound of her voice that something was seriously wrong. "I'm on my way. Just hand tight. How do I get inside?"

Peyton thought about that and then said "I put a spare key under the welcome mat. Just hurry Nathan."

She let out another cry of pain before she had the chance to end the call. She just hoped that Nathan would get here quickly.

Nathan had walked away from the guys once he saw Peyton's name flash on his phone but now he walked back towards them quickly and said "Hey guys sorry but I got to go. Something important came up."

Lucas looked at his brother and said "Do you need me to go with you little bro?"

Nathan would have liked that but he remembered that Peyton didn't want anyone to know she was back in town so he shook his head. "Nah I got this big brother. I'll call you guys later. Oh and hey Luke are you and Lindsey still coming over for supper tonight?"

Lucas gave a nod of his head. "Yeah we'll be there so I'll see you then."

Nathan nodded and then took running to his car. He had no clue what was wrong with his best friend but he damn sure was going to find out. As soon as he was in his car he pulled out of the parking lot quickly and drove as fast as he could over to Peyton's house and once there he jumped out of the car and ran towards the house.

He found the key and quickly unlocked the front door and after shutting it he yelled "Peyton where are you?"

He heard noises coming from upstairs and he quickly followed them. As soon as he walked into Peyton's old bedroom his heart just about stopped beating before he quickly over came his shock as he ran towards the bed where two little girls were standing and crying.

Before Nathan could say anything one of the little girls looked over at him and when she recognized him she shouted "Uncle Nate you got to help Mommy. Mommy isn't awake anymore and we can't get her awake. She was talkin to us one second and the next she quit responding."
