Author's Note: I only used to watch Everwood because of Bright and Hannah, therefore I don't know too much about all of the characters, so if I screw up on something, just point it out, and I'll tell you I meant to do that. Also, my story is going to be a bit different when it comes to certain points. I realize I am changing a show, but too bad. I have this thing called an imagination and I need to use it.

Also, I know the title doesn't relate much to the story, but it's one of my favorite songs and I couldn't think of anything else. I can probably fit it in at some point anyway, but if someone happens to have any suggestions, I'm listening.

Disclaimer: I don't own Everwood. Duh.

Chapter 1

Hannah's heart was definitely in her throat as she stepped off the plane. She was re-evaluating her life. And she knew she was doing it a little too late, but in the back of her mind she knew that if anything went wrong, she would be the kind of girl to step right back onto that plane.

Of course as she spotted Amy waiting for her by the airport entrance, she knew that never in a million years would Amy let her. That's what best friends were for though and she was happy as hell to see hers for the first time in two years.

"Hannah!" Amy shrieked. "Amy!" Hannah shrieked back causing more than just a handful of heads to turn in her direction, and not just because of her voice. She was gorgeous.

"Well," Amy emphasized, "haven't you stayed exactly the same?" she mocked. "Hey! You're the one who got married! And now there's a little "it" inside you," Hannah shot back. Amy smiled and unconsciously rubbed at her stomach.

"Hey there, Lily. How are you doing today?" Hannah asked the stomach. "Lily? I am not naming my daughter Lily," Amy stated defiantly as she picked up Hannah's lightest piece of luggage and hauled it toward the car. "Why not? I like that name."

"So save it for when you get married and knocked up," Amy joked. Hannah scoffed, "If I ever get married… Or knocked up." Amy gave her friend a quizzical look but concluded the discussion. It was Hannah's first day back in Everwood and she did not want to get into a fight just yet.

The ride back was full of laughter and stories they hadn't gotten a chance to exchange over the phone. Hannah didn't want to admit it, but it was the first time in ages she had genuinely enjoyed herself. By the time they reached Amy and Ephram's little house, Hannah was half asleep. Amy being Amy, tried to convince Ephram to carry Hannah inside, but by that time Hannah had been woken up by a phone call from one of her good friends back in Minnesota.

Amy was convinced it was all Ephram's fault but Hannah assured her it wasn't and Amy's husband only looked on in amusement. Hannah was envious, but not in a bad way. She just wanted a relationship like that was all. Over the course of two years, she had never been able to make it work though and she had always hated that.

Nevertheless, as the three of them discussed more events of their lives at the kitchen table, Hannah wiped all relationship related affairs from her mind and engulfed herself in the beautiful simplicity of being with the people she loved.

At the end of the night, she retreated to Amy's guest room and tried to fall asleep. It didn't work too well, so she went and sat in the rocking chair by the window. Everwood was beautiful at night. There was nothing much unique about the town but it was alluring nonetheless.

Hannah smiled to herself. Everything was so familiar. Given, she had only spent a few years in this town, but it would always be home to her. All the houses… All the cars… Especially that car, she thought to herself. Where have I seen that car?

All of a sudden, she knew. She knew exactly where she had seen that car before. And it made her heart go cold.
