Hi, It's Emma here. This is my first story. Set early season 5 but with a twist. Read if you want to.
She was panicking, like really panicking.
It had been five years, five long years since graduation, since leaving for L.A, leaving Luke. She wasn't sure if she could look him in the eye- let alone tell him about Sawyer, her beautiful baby girl.
She squeezed Brooke's hand as the stepped into Tree Hill, "Calm down, P. Sawyer. Breathe. You'll be fine," her best friend told her reassuringly and confidently, " I promise you we'll be fine."

He looked at his phone in shock, his best friend, and sister-in-law, just text him confirming what he feared. She was back. Peyton Sawyer, the love of his life who had abandoned him was back. He didn't know how to deal. How to feel.
"Luke?" His girlfriend's voice broke him out of his revere.
"Huh? Oh, hey Linds what's up?" He asked nonchalantly trying to cover up his pure and utter terror.
"Are you ok?" she asked him tentatively, there was no doubt that this girl loved him. Truly did, but she was never sure if he returned her feelings.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?" Lucas mentally kicked himself for that last comment, ' oh yeah, just make her suspicious Eugene, you fool' he thought to himself.
"Err, no reason apart from you staring at your phone like it's about to explode." She laughed hesitantly. She was nervous. Why was she nervous? Was it because she knew he was keeping some part of truth from her? Even just about what he was feeling? They didn't have that type of relationship. They were always honest with each other.
"Oh, chain mail, they freak me out you know." He lied easily, and that unsettled him, " But, enough with this. Let's go the Haley and Nathan's. I wanna see my nephew."
"Ok, sure. I'll just call Hales!"
"Ok babe," He kissed her gently then took her hand and led her to her car.

"You're coming here?"
Nathan raised his eyebrows at Haley's slightly hysterical voice, but chose not to question her right now.
"Like right now?" Haley's voice was slowly getting higher in pitch.
She listened intently as the person on the other end of the phone replied. Nathan heard the voice ask a question.
"No, no of course it's not a problem. Yeah, yeah. Ok see you soon. Bye!"
She hung up and let out a massive breath.
"What's going on babe?" Nathan asked, slightly amused by his wife's frustrated expression and demeanour.
"Luke and Lindsay are coming over. They'll be here in half an hour."
"But aren't Brooke and Peyton bringing Sawyer here?"
"Yeah, I should call and warn th-" she was interrupted by a knock at the door.
It was Peyton and Brooke, she just knew it.
"Oh, shit" The petite brunette muttered under her breath.
