Chapter 1
Peyton Sawyer sat on her deck looking out at the ocean she knew she had an hour before two little monkeys got up. Elijah Laurence Sawyer and Elizabeth Rebecca Sawyer were running around. Eli and Ellie are two years old. Eli looks just like her the green eyes the blonde hair the one thing he got from his father was his squint. Ellie looked like her father the blue eyes, his smile and the way he would laugh. But they both had some of Peyton and Lucas in them. Peyton's love was unconditional as only a mother's love could be.
Lucas had come home early one afternoon only to find Lindsey and Mark Hudson in his bed with his wife. Lucas said nothing and walked out. Lindsey chased after him but he was gone by the time she got outside. Right then she knew it was over. Nothing she said or could do would change that fact.
Lucas went to the River Court and just throws shot after shot into the basket. Lindsey called Nathan and told him that Lucas had run out on her and she was worried about him. Nathan told her he would go look for him. Nathan went to the River Court and there was Lucas.
"Hey man, Lindsey called and said you ran out on her and she asked me to look for you." Nathan said.
"Did Lindsey tell you why I ran out on her?" "No I did not think so." "Nathan I found her in our bed with another man." Lucas said angrily.
"Luke I am sorry, no she did not tell me that." Nathan told him.
Nathan left Lucas there he really did not know what he was going to do. Lucas went to Tric and helped himself to the bar. It was not like Lucas to drink like he was but right now he could care less
Background
After Peyton and Lucas broke up she stayed in LA. Lucas got a call saying that someone was wanting to publish his book. He could not believe that it really was going to happen. About a month after Lucas left Peyton in LA. She found out she was pregnant. Peyton had no idea about the book being published. Which meant for Lucas many hours with his new publisher. Lindsey Strauss was Lucas age and very pretty. Lucas was ripe for the picking he was just coming off a relationship that had a hold on him and he fell.
End of flash back.
Peyton smiled to herself when she heard mommy being called out. She got up off the chair and went in and saw Eli and Ellie jumping on the couch. What are you two doing? Peyton scooped both of them up into her arms and squeezed them. She kissed their forehead's and told the good morning. The phone rang.
"Guess Who!" the exceeded voice said.
"Brooke?" questioned Peyton.
"You got it on the first try." "My plane just landed at LAX and I am in the car on my way to your place." "So I will be there soon can't wait to see my godchildren." Brooke told Peyton.
Brooke ended the call. Peyton had not expected this. She grabbed the kids and got them dressed.
"Guess what guys; Aunt Brooke is coming to see us right now." Peyton said.
Peyton could not help but wonder what this visit was about. When Brooke Davis shows up you know there is something brewing. Brooke never shows up unannounced.
"This can't be good." Peyton thought to herself.
