*Authors Note*
Is anyone mightily confused? I have decided that I am going to make a change to the line-up of my big one tree hill story live on through: it all comes back to you and turn it into a series of stories which will be called live on through: and then the title of the story (it will be based upon what's going on in the chapter). This change will mean that the chapters that are written will be placed in a better order, readers can read as much or as little as they want, Readers can pick what they want to read based upon which families and couples they want to read about, It also means that I can now go back through my chapters and improve them to the best they can be! Unfortunately this means that I will have to write more summaries, and I am horrible at that!
So those who have read the story before let me know what you think about the change, and please keep reading, those new readers please enjoy and review for me
Thanks

*The next chapter will explain a bit more, this is like a scene setter*
Live on through: It all comes back to you: Chapter one
Quinn hummed as she walked into her youngest sisters gorgeous two story home, she walked through the kitchen and her stomach seemed to rumble right on cue, she knew this house, specifically the kitchen like the back of her hand. What was the harm in having a quick snack? Her sister surely wouldn't mind. Quinn reached for a bowl and a box full of the most sugary cereal present in the giant filled to the brim pantry. Quinn loved cereal, if it was an option she would eat it for every single meal or the day.
"What are you doing in my kitchen?" Her black haired brother-in-law said as he walked down stairs into the kitchen right next to her
"I thought this was Haley's kitchen" she smiled as Nathan laughed "I'm just having a snack"
"More like stealing our hard earned cocoa puffs, depriving our children of breakfast cause you know after that box I don't think we will be able to afford another. Feel guilty yet?"
"Yes" Quinn said with a sad face placing the bowl of cocoa puffs on the bench before Nathan quickly pulled the bowl over to himself taking a spoonful of cereal and smiling cheekily at the shocked James girl.
"You'll pay for that Nathan Scott" she said staring him down as he ate his actually her cereal. "Anyway Where is Haley-Bob?" She asked as Nathan pointed upwards towards the stairs
"Battling the children" he said between mouthfuls
"JAMES LUCAS SCOTT DON'T WALK AWAY FROM ME"
"See" he said directed at Quinn as Jamie came bounding down the steps, trying his hardest to get past the kitchen without being noticed or stopped, he failed
"Hey Jamie, listen to your mum please" Nathan said to his son as his son rolled his eyes
"Also get your teenage butt over here and give your aunty a massive hug please" Jamie smiled back at his aunty with his perfect grin, the braces had done an excellent job and the whole family knew it when Jamie shot that killer grin. Jamie walked over to his aunt with an open armed embrace.
"Jamie, please can you just take your sister to Brooke's, I don't have time to do it myself" Haley said as she walked down the stairs hand in hand with her four year old daughter Lydia
"Mum I can't, my teacher said I was going to get a detention and not be able to play baseball if I was late to class again" James Lucas said in a pleading tone
"You're not going to be late to school" Haley scoffed
"Yesterday the bus drove straight past me"
"Jam..."
"Go Jamie, I can take Lydia to Brooke's on the way to work" Nathan said in true hero form
"You're my lifesaver" said Haley before planting a kiss on her husband's lips
"You're mine too but I'm not thanking you like that" Jamie said as his dad aunt and mum laughed
"Cheeky" said Haley with a big grin on her face, she loved her little, well quite big family A LOT. Jamie hugged his mum and headed out the door.
"Come on Baby girl" Nathan said leaning down and picking up Lydia-Bob before throwing the pink princess backpack over his broad shoulders "Let's go to Aunt Brooke's, I love you honey" he said before kissing his wife "Say goodbye to mama and Quinney darling" he said as the little girl in his arms waved happily at her mum who kissed her cheek and at her aunty that blew her kisses, before Nathan turned to walk out the door "That backpack really suits you Nate." Quinn joked as Nathan pretended to strut
"You're really working it babe" Haley said in a fit of laughter as he walked out the door. "Okay we have like ten minutes to sit down and gossip" Haley said sitting down on the barstool at the bench. Quinn went to speak when the baby monitor went off in the not so distant distance "Walk and talk lets walk and talk" Haley said as she walked towards the stairs
"You look tired honey" Quinn said looking at her sister as they walked side by side through the hallway
"I've got three kids under five and one going through puberty, while trying to run two business and keeping Nathan happy…"
"EW. You're my little sister I didn't need to know that" Quinn said mockingly blocking her ears
"That isn't what I meant" Haley laughed
"Really?" Quinn asked
"Okay maybe a little bit" she said before they both broke into laughter as they opened the nursery door, looking towards the two cots one with her daughters head popping out the top, the other holding her son who had his leg between two of the cots bars. Haley lifted out the little girl first and she ran up to her aunts legs as she was hoisted into the air, Haley moved to her sons cot, untangled his leg from the bars and lifted the sleepy baby into her arms as he rested his dummy using head onto his mums shoulder, Sam wasn't really a morning baby like his two minute older sister, Izzy was instant smiles the moment she opened her eyes whereas Sam would be grouchy and want his mum to hold him until he woke up properly. Quinn who was holding Izzy and opening the curtains went to speak again but was interrupted again by the doorbell.
"I guess we are never going to get to talk" said Quinn
"Sorry."
"Are you always busy?" Quinn sort of sulked
"I can book you in sometime next week." Haley said with a smile "Come on though I have to go get the door" she said before rushing down the stairs, her sulking sister no doubt somewhere behind her. Haley felt bad that it seemed like she didn't have any time for Quinn but her life was so hectic four kids were hard to manage on a good day, even when she just had two with her it was hard work, one kid would always want undiverted extreme attention. She thought to herself maybe I should plan a girls weekend as she opened the door, but all thought stopped with the shock of the people standing in the door way, her doorway.
"Well hello superstar"
"What are you doing here?" she said as a smile beamed across her face, before she hugged Karen, Lily and Andy
"We desperately needed a dose of Haley James Scott" Karen said as the spokesperson of the little KANDY family.
"Oh man I wish I had have known you were coming I would have cleaned up a little, Come on in"
"Let's just wait a second" Karen said as Haley looked at her strangely, when Haley went to ask her something she heard a car door slam, looked over Karen's head and saw the spikey blonde hair, she practically threw Sam at Andy and ran up her driveway, he smiled at her as she ran up standing still with his arms wide open when Haley reached him she launched herself into his arms and wrapped her legs around his torso not letting go for anything.
"Whoa Haley you're getting heavy" Lucas said placing her feet back on the ground
"Shut up" Haley said before punching him in the arm "I have not! And anyway your hair looks stupid"
"DOES NOT" he said as his hand moved towards him scalp with a worried look on his face
"You two are so mature" Peyton said leaning against their car watching Lucas and Haley, Haley directed her attention to Peyton as she walked over to her "Hey Foxy"
"Peyton Sawyer as I live and breathe" Haley said as she wrapped her arms around her blonde curly sister-in-law, Haley looked down as she hugged her and saw her curly little niece standing behind her mum.
"Sawyer baby come say hi to Aunty Haley" said Peyton before the little girl ran into her aunties arms and was span around in a circle
"I missed my gorgeous girl" she said tickling the little girl as her parents went to separate sides of the car retrieving two separate children from either side "You do make stunning babies"
"Is that yours?' Peyton said directing her gaze to the little boy in Karen's arms who seemed to have woken up now, Haley nodded before Peyton headed up the driveway handed Andy her one year old daughter before taking Sam out of Karen's arms. Haley and Lucas headed up the driveway behind her with their other two kids.
"Look how big he has gotten" Peyton said cooeeing at her nephew.
Within half an hour the gang was back, Brooke and Julian had brought over Jude, Davis and Lydia and Nathan didn't go to work. By the time Jamie walked in the door they had all caught up on things that hadn't or couldn't be said on the phone. Jamie was hit with the force of a tall Jet black haired girl hugging him, it took him a moment to register that he wasn't being attacked, that it was in fact Lily Roe Scott.
"Whoa Lil what are you doing here?"
"That's Aunt Lily to you" she said with a laugh
"What are you doing here?" Jamie still shocked to see the girl he only ever saw on weekly webcam family catch ups
"Obviously you didn't get the memo, The whole family is here" she was taking some enjoyment out of Jamie's cluelessness
"The Family?" Jamie said surprised before walking into the noisy living room and as everyone saw him they stopped talking and just smiled at him as he looked around full of shock
"Obviously he has lost the ability to speak" Lucas laughed
"Hey buddy shut your mouth a fly might fly in" Nathan joined in
"Leave him alone" Peyton said standing up and walking over to Jamie "Hey Handsome" she said hugging him
"That can't be James Lucas, this kid is a giant" Karen said standing up and walking over to him too hugging him and then heading towards the front door.
"Where are you going?" Brooke said concerned standing up
"Just have to go and see Keith, I'll be back soon"
