With Arms Wide Open

Well I just heard the news today
It seems my life is going to change
I closed my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open

Haley's POV;

I sighed as I picked up the last few pieces of clothing that lied in the corner of my teenage son's room. It still amazed me to this day how much kids could grow in a blink of an eye. I mean one day it seems like they are there holding your hand on the way to the park, and the next they're off in high school doing their own thing. I laughed slightly as I finished picking up the last piece of clothing, and turned to face the rest of my son's room. Jamie sure had changed over the years. He was no longer height deprived like his mother, but stood 6 feet- 2 inches, just like his father. Also his once blond hair was now a light brown. Of course his personality had changed a little too. He was even more stubborn then when he was younger, and his patience wore even thinner. Remind you of anyone? But through all the changes, there was one thing that had stayed the same, his love for basketball. I actually think it had grown. The walls of his large room were covered by posters of famous players, every shelf had trophies standing, and basketball's covered every inch of the floor. So I guess you could say my little boy had turned into his father in every way possible, and I loved it.

Nathan's POV;

As I punched in the last digit of the security code, the gate doors opened, and I pulled my big SUV into the long drive way. I got out of the car as slowly as possible due to the fact every bone in my body ached. Today's practice had been a brutal one, but a much needed one. The five year "curse" had finally been broken. After constant criticism of every ESPN analiyst there was, the Los Angelos Lakers had finally made it to the play offs, and were no doubt the top contenders to make it to the championship. It brought a smile to my face just thinking of it. The second I stepped into the entrance of my house, I was met with the voice of my little girl.

"Daddy! Your home, finally!" she said running into my arms. Despite my aching body, I picked her up easily.

"Hey how's my girl?"

"I'm good! Guess what daddy!?" she said excitedly, her chocolate brown eyes that matched Haley's, shining.

"What!?"

"Today at school, we were reading a story and everyone had to read. So at the end of the day when Mommy came to pick me up, the teacher told me and mommy I was the best reader in the class and I read real good for my age!" she said, obviously proud of herself. I smiled proudly at my daughter, but wasn't surprised at all. Natalie was a carbon copy of Haley in every way, including her their shared intelligence. Her honey blond hair matched how Haley's once was, and she had the same, beautiful chocolate brown eyes. Their personalities were exactly the same too. Natalie cared for everyone around here no matter what even though she was only 5, and she was quite sarcastic. Her smile is contagious to everyone around her, and she has me wrapped around her little finger.

"That's great Nat! See, I told you, you were a genius!" I said kissing her forehead, and causing her to laugh.

"Your right, she is our little genius isn't she." Haley said walking in. I inhaled deeply as I looked at her beauty, just like I always did. Her white summer dress framed her tan body perfectly, and her hair was pulled back loosely.

"Hey." I said, pulling her in with my only free arm.

"Hey yourself."

"How was your day?" I asked.

"It was good, the usual, how about yours husband?"

"Great, now." I said before pulling in her in for a kiss. This was definitely one of my favorite parts of the day.

"Jeez, how many times have I asked, nicely, might I add; Please keep the affection down to a minimum when me, or my sister are around." A deep voice said coming in behind me.

"Jamie!" said Natalie, once again excited. She jumped out of my arms, and ran over to her big brother.

"Hey little sis." Jamie said ruffling her hair playfully.

"Wow my son in the house during regular hours, I'm shocked." Haley said jokingly. Since Jamie was 16 now, he was definitely out a lot more with his friends, and not always home like before. Haley was still trying to get used to it, even though she tried denying it.

"Dramatic much mom?" Jamie said as he walked into the kitchen.

"No, just honest." Haley said.

"Jamie will you play NBA live with me, please!?" Natalie said changing the subject. Jamie looked at me and Haley, almost begging us to offer to play with Nat so he wouldn't have to.

"Please Jamie." She said, pointing her brown eyes right at Jamie knowing he'd give in. This kid sure knew how to work, after all she did learn from the best.

"Okay, sure. Go up stairs to the game room and set it up, I'll be right there."

"Yay!" Nat said racing up the stairs.

"That was sweet, you know how she loves spending time with you." Haley said smiling.

"Yeah I guess." Jamie said rolling his eyes playfully, then changing his expression to a serious one when he seemed to have remembered something.

"Oh yeah I have something to tell you guys." He said some what nervously.

"What is it?" Haley asked placing her hand on his shoulder.

"Um well I don't know how to say this but…you know yesterday, when you took Natalie to gymnastics, and I was home?"

"Yeah?" We both said.

"Well someone called the house…"

"Who was it?" I asked starting to get curious.

"It was Lucas…Uncle Lucas."

Well I don't know if I'm ready
To be the man I have to be
I'll take a breath, I'll take her by my side
We stand in awe, we've created life

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
Now everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open
With arms wide open
I'll show you everything ...oh yeah
With arms wide open..wide open

Lucas's POV;

I slammed my laptop closed, tired of pressing the delete button over and over again. I looked over to the gold, little man standing at the corner of my desk and laughed. It really was unbelievable how much things had changed since that night. I had been at the top of the world, and then I lost it all, again.

Flashback;

I dug my nails into the arms of my chair as the announcer started to speak once again.

"And the Oscar for best original screenplay goes to..." I looked to my side, seeking for some support from the person next to me, but then realized no one was there… because I didn't have anyone to bring. I shook my head, focusing back to the stage, closed my eyes, and just listened for the next words to come out of his mouth.

"Lucas Scott, for Unkindness of Ravens!" As I disbelievingly opened my eyes, I was met with the roar of applause filling the enormous theater. I couldn't believe this, I had won, I had actually won.

End of Flashback;

I once again laughed bitterly as I finished thinking about one of the greatest nights of my life. Two months before that night, and a few months after I felt like I was king of the world. I was known to everyone in the movie industry, and everyone had wanted me. Now, I was just a has -been author hardly anyone even knew, not even my family and friends knew me.

"Stop it…" I mumbled to myself realizing what I was doing. I didn't want to start this again, bringing up my past was the last thing I wanted to do right now. I opened the drawer of my desk and looked for the perfect solution; my cigarettes. It was a habit I had picked up a few years ago, and even though it's horrible for you, for me it's just the ultimate way to relax. As I kept looking, I finally found them and quickly pulled them out, along with something else. I leaned down to pick up what had fallen out, and flipped it over. It was a picture…with TRIC in the back round. In it stood Nathan with his arm wrapped around Haley, and a five year old Jamie standing in between them. Then there was Brooke, Skillz, Junk, Fergie, Mouth and Millie and Me…with Peyton. I threw the picture back onto the floor, and covered it with my foot, the familiar ache once again burning my heart, just what I had wanted to avoid tonight.

"Great, so much for not bringing up the past."

If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me
I hope he understands
That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open...

Peyton's POV;

Rejection letters; why are they really necessary? Why can't every band just be signed? That would just make life so much easier! I massaged my aching hand, as I finally finished signing the last letter, and putting it into a folder. I heard the familiar sound of my ring tone fill my office, and pulled it out, smiling when I noticed who it was.

"Finally, jeez what takes you so long to answer your phone!" my best friend said as soon as I had pressed the answer button.

"Hi to you to Brooke." I said.

"Oh sorry, Hi P. Sawyer! What's up?"

"Not much, just finished the last rejection letter, you?"

"Well, I finally finished the last sketch for Baby Brookes fall line."

"Ha-ha, fall line, for babies. Wow B. Davis." I said laughing. Only Brooke would ever think of that.

"Hey babies have to look good too! Especially my god children- oh and speaking of, how is my god child!" Brooke said excitedly.

"Jack, he's great! I swear everyday he needs new clothes, it's like he hasn't stopped growing since the day he turned six!" I said thinking of my beautiful baby boy. Well, nine year old son.

"Well that's a good thing he has a fashion designer as an aunt then I guess."

"Of course. Hey have you read Haley's email she sent? About going to L.A. to visit?" I asked, just finishing reading it.

"Yeah, I actually just did. Sounds like a good idea, I miss Naley, and my other beautiful god children. Did you see the picture she sent too, they're so big!" Brooke said.

"It is a great idea, and I know! Jamie's huge, and Nat so cute." I said.

"Very! Well I have to go P. Sawyer, call you tomorrow! Bye Love you."

"Bye Brooke, love you too." I said, hanging up. My focus shifted back to the picture frame sitting on my desk. Jack Michael Sawyer, my little boy. My miracle baby. Through all I had been through in my life, he'd been worth every second. He had wavy blonde hair, and a personality that could make everyone love him. Then were his eyes; his amazing blue eyes that matched those of the man I once loved.

The end! There's CH 1! I really hoped to guys liked it! And like I said before, all these ideas I got from the first promo (only it takes play 10 years ahead.) Okay so first I will start of with Naley; They seem pretty happy but are they truly? Nathan finally got his dream, but did Haley? And why were the Scotts so surprised to be hearing from Lucas? Then there's Lucas, obviously he's changed. But what happened to make him like that? And why is he no longer writing and the big question…what's with him and Peyton? Lastly Peyton! She seems pretty happy, for once. She finally got her record label, and it seems like she has a son too? Does Lucas know though? You'll just have to wait and see! I have so much instore for this story. Oh yeah and Jamie will also be a big part of this story, and Natalie probably. I will also introduce Jack (Peyton's son) and Dan because he will be a big part, and probably Brooke. Well tell me what you thought, honestly, do you like the idea? R&R!?
