Disclaimer- I do not own One Tree Hill all credit due to Mark Schwahn who is a genius!

AN- Okay guys this is a quick update for me. I am still at high school and I share the computer with my mum and dad so updates at times may be slow. There is one thing i will not have which is people using my plots for their own. Not fair guys !

So i would like to take time to reply to your reviews-

DianeHermans- I think I may have pm'd you but if not thanks for reviewing the story. About your question the adult couple will be most likely stay the same for time being but the teenage couples probably not. It is extremely hard for any off Naley's kid's to have boyfriends or girlfriends that are main character as most of the main characters are their cousins. Also you know what high school's like folk breaking and making up all the time.

Cabently,grayfan and Lucas&-Thank you for reading and reviewing but you'll see my dilemma above. I will try to get these up as soon as i can though ;).

Obsessive Princess-Thanks for mentioning me in your last chapter of 'I won't give up' that was lovely and i never got your PM back . I hope you keep following my story though Ashley.

I Really Need Reviews! Keep Em' Coming and also if you have any idea's


Introduction-Carry You Home

This chapter just explains everybody's reasons and feelings about coming home to tree Hill and what Haley and Nathan are doing in these times. The next chapter will be set just as school starts (Any American readers when is that?) so everybody will have returned to Tree Hill.

The first "I'm coming home" phone call Haley received was from her sister-in-law Peyton. Haley was at work when she called but on returning home and looking through the missed calls she found a European number, meaning it was Lucas and Peyton seeing they lived in Spain. Haley was confused, Peyton NEVER called apart from birthday's, Christmases or fourth of July and she ALWAYS woke them up because Spain was 5 hours ahead of East Coast Time.

Haley's short fingers typed the well known number into her house phone and she waited for the familiar "Hey it's Lucas, Peyton and the family. Were not in but leave a message" voice mail as it would be 11pm there but instead a well known sobbing voice picked up. Peyton explained that Lucas had been coaching the local high school basketball time with he had a heart attack, a big one like after The State Championship. They had decided they were returning to Tree Hill because her dad had bought back their old house as a gift to Peyton on her next birthday but told her about it sooner due to Lucas' ill health. She said they would be home when Lucas was fit to fly again and that could be 3 months at least and it was. They arrived with their family in July and started to settle in.

That same day in April in the Scott house James Lucas Scott had went all the way with his girlfriend. Holly Lauren McFadden was her name and she was going to be Senior Class President, she could just feel it. Little did Jamie know that one day would haunt him way into the future and his mom was down the stairs.

About 3 weeks later on her return from the weekly shop at Wal-Mart, Haley had another missed call from older sister Quinn. She hoped this was the phone call where Quinn would tell her Clay had FINALLY after 17 years of them being together had proposed to her but no such luck. She thought she would wait till later to phone Quinn because they were in opposite time zones on opposite coasts of the USA so sat down with a black coffee and turned on the TV.

About 7pm that night once the Scott's had finished their dinner and Haley and Nathan had put their 2 youngest Clare and Evans to bed. Haley picked up the phone and dialled Quinn's number but nobody answered so she picked her LG from her bag and voice dialled Quinn. When Clay answered he had a worries tone in his voice. Clay NEVER answered Quinn's phone because she never answered his (She couldn't work it). He explained that his and Quinn's trouble making older daughter Sarah had been taken to hospital to get her stomach pumped and Quinn was there with her. Clay and Quinn had a lot of trouble with Sarah, she had been in custody for various random incidents, she had 3 tattoos, and she drank ALL the time. She was only 17 years old!

Clay and Quinn had decided it was time for them to return to Tree Hill because their children were getting into the hard party lifestyle Los Angeles had to offer and it was stressing Quinn so much she hadn't slept in weeks. Her son Jay who was also 17 had had a bad break-up with girlfriend Kim and had went on a 3 day drug and booze binge, he ended up down at L.A County police station and was left off with a warning as if it was added to his permanent record all those college scholarships... Gone! Their daughter Rainn who was 16 and they best behaved in the house hold, except from the dog Trill, had even gotten drunk at a randomers Sweet 16 and nearly lit the tent on fire and had to run away but her dad found her first.

They still had Clay's beach house and were due to return in July before the school year started. Sarah hated her parents for this but her life was spinning way out of control. Jay wasn't too bothered he was just upset he wouldn't get to be Senior King at the prom, because no one would vote for him in Tree Hill and Rainn was slightly upset. She would need to leave her secret girlfriend Cate at home and she would never find a girl who wouldn't tell her secret in Tree Hill. Everybody knew everybody there.

Somewhere on the other side of town Mr Nathan Scott was attending a doctor's appointment at Tree Hill Doctor's surgery. He was there fortnightly for a back check-up and to get his prescription as he wasn't playing basketball anymore. He had to retire mid season when during a game against the New York Knicks some ass had punched him to the floor which curved his spine slightly meaning it was NOT safe for him to play real games. Now the only person Nathan saw about as much as Haley and the kids was Dr Lee Rice his back doctor, he could never remember the real name for them. This check-up was different when Nathan went to walk out the door of Room 23 (Ironic, ha ) the doctor asked him to go to his office next door. Nathan sat down praying for good news and it was, the doctor had told him he would not need another check-up until at least summertime. Nathan practically jumped with glee. He couldn't wait to go home and tell Haley and the kids his good news.

On the Friday of that week Nathan was home alone when the melody "The Entertainer" rang through the huge house. It was the landline but the phone wasn't on its dock, he only found it when he approached Lydia's room and found it in her underwear drawer-Lydia was not allowed a mobile so would sneak downstairs at night and steal the landline phone. Nathan was mad but he would sort that out later so he ran back downstairs and settled on the couch. Judging by the familiar number Nathan knew this phone call could take forever...

It was Brooke, Brooke Davis-baker and her fabulous family were soon going to be gracing the residents of Tree Hill with their presence. Brooke explained the idea had first came about when Julian (who never got his big break), had decided that North Carolina had more job prospects for him the highflying New York. Her soon Jude had also been injured in a New York street fight. This surprised Nathan as he thought the description of the incident was better fitted to Jude's twin, Davis. Davis thought himself a bit of a hard guy or a ladies' man and Nathan remembered when he and his brother stayed with the Scott's when they were 12 and he had punched Jamie for touching his girl Madison. This was so far from the truth; Davis was actually jealous of Jamie because he went out with Madison. The boys had never been back since.

Brooke explained that the guy's had been walking home from a City and Colour concert in Manhattan when some ruffian had jumped out and pushed Jude through a nearby window of a Tiffany's Store just so he could break in. Jude was now confined to a wheelchair and Davis was at therapy every week because he was so traumatised by the event. Brooke and Julian had figured that maybe a smaller town such as Tree Hill would be the best medicine for the young boys and their siblings.

Nathan was informed that they would be returning before the school year re-started so the boys could graduate Senior Year and not fall behind. Brooke had convinced Principal Turner that she would make a great fashion and design teacher and her husband, Julian had recently graduated film school with a teaching degree. She had been looking up houses online and was going to leave the business with her mother, Victoria and reopen a store in Tree Hill which her assistant Alexis would run until she found a new boss. Brooke sounded really excited to be coming home, and Nathan knew she always would be The Girl Behind the Red Door.

At this same time Haley was sitting in the paediatric ward of New Brunswick County Hospital with daughter Lydia. Lydia had been coughing and wheezing the past few weeks and had complained of chest pains, Haley was worried in case Nathan had been the carrier of the HCM gene and had passed it on to Lydia. The nurse had done check-up and quickly informed Haley that Lydia probably had seasonal asthma which she would probably only suffer from it in Spring/Summer and gave her a prescription for an inhaler. Lydia was then told she should come back before school started again in case she needed some more medicine. Gleefully the little girl walked out of the nurse's room as her mother followed behind her grasping the prescription. This was a good thing all Haley and Nathan's family were fit happy and healthy and she couldn't wait for her friends return to Tree Hill.

If only Haley had knew what her son was doing behind her back, what was going to happen to her husband and daughter, what would become Julian's best friend on his return to Tree Hill, where Lucas' spare cash went, what Peyton had lost in her life, what the Scott and Baker twin's were doing together, who Brooke was doing in her classroom, who her niece kissed secretly and most of all How she would keep everyone together? ...
