Song Used: Cry-Mandy Moore

Krystle

In places no one will find, All your feelings so deep inside, It was there that I realized, That forever was in your eyes, The moment I saw you cry

When we get back to my-or our-house, Sam and I help Julian unload his bags. We go into mine and Julian's room and put his bags on the floor at the end of the bed. He his still holding my hand, and I have no objection, I never want to go a day without his touch or his love.

Sam grabs her overnight bag from the couch, and turns to us, "Mom, I'm going to head over to Haley's. She said she and Nathan will be out late, so I'll just crash there."

I nod at her, "Ok, that's fine. Give my godson a kiss for me."

She smiles, "I will. See you guys later."

"Bye Samson," Julian says with a smile. Sam laughs and when the door closes behind her, he turns back to me. "Well, now what do we do?"

I smile wickedly at him, walk over and loop my arms around his waist. I lean up and kiss him softly and when I pull away, I whisper, "I can think of a few things."

His eyebrows shoot up, and he kisses me again. He then whispers the words he told me so long ago, only he changed one word, and I smile when I hear it. "Maybe we should continue this in our bedroom-"

"Preferably without our clothes," I finish, and giggle when he picks me up and carries me down the hall.

I love this.

The 'after' part of making love, not that I don't love the during, cause, that part is really amazing. But I love to lay in his arms, and know that I am the only one who gets to see him like this, knowing that he is feeling the same feeling as I am right now.

I feel a light tug on my hair, and I turn my face upwards to find him grinning down at me. "What are you thinking about?"

I smile, "You."

He smiles back at me, "Good thoughts I hope?"

I nod in the affirmative, "They are great thoughts. I just-I'm so happy that you're here, and you're going to be with me forever. I would be lost without you, Julian. I don't ever want to imagine my life without you in it. I know that we have only been together for a short time, but I have fallen fast and hard for you. I know that what I'm feeling for you is true, and it took you almost leaving for me to face my feelings."

"Brooke, if I had gotten on that plane, I wouldn't be able to last in LA without you. I would have been on the next flight to Charlotte, and in the next rental car to Tree Hill. Everything for my job is in LA, yes. But my life is in Tree Hill laying in my arms right now. I will never leave you, and I will never give you any reason to doubt my love for you, okay?"

I nod, "I know you won't. I just can't believe that you almost left."

"But I didn't."

I blink back tears and change the subject, "So, now that you're moving in with me and Sam, we have to find you open space for your own production company."

"I don't know, Brooke. I just want to take things as they come."

"But I thought you loved being a movie producer? Why not just start your own company?"

"Cause I want to spend time with my fiancé and our kid, is that too much to ask?"

My eyes soften at his words and I smile, "No, its not too much to ask. She loves you, you know?"

"Sam?"

"Yeah. She was almost as big of a mess as I was before we picked you up today."

"I love her too. She's a great kid. You've done an amazing thing with her, Brooke. You're an amazing mother."

I smile, "Thank you, Julian. She's one of the best things to happen to me this year. We started off on the wrong foot, but I love her. Like someone else I know."

"And who might that be?"

"Dixon, of course."

He rolls over on top of me, and I begin to giggle as he places short kisses on my neck, "Oh is that so?"

I nod, "Sure, why not?"

He lightly bites my neck and whispers, "Can he do this?"

And before I know it, we are getting lost in each other.

Sam's POV

"Thank you so much for watching Jamie tonight, Sam," Haley says, putting her sweater on.

I smile at her, "It's no problem Haley. Jamie is the coolest little kid I've ever met."

"Well, thank you. He gets that from me," Haley says, jokingly.

I laugh, "I'm sure he does."

"Um, we shouldn't be out super late, but feel free to crash here if you'd like. The emergency numbers are on the fridge, and of course you can call Brooke if you need anything."

I nod, "Okay, but I don't think I will be calling Mom tonight."

Haley furrows her brow, "Why's that?"

I smile. "She and Julian are alone in the house, and I'm not going to disturb them."

"I thought he left today?" she asks confused.

"Mom asked him to stay, and he did. Which is good, cause I didn't want him to leave either. He makes her happy, and its like we're a family when we're all together. That's all I've ever wanted. A family."

Haley pulls me in for a hug, "Well, since Brooke is Jamie's Aunt, feel free to call me Aunt Haley if you'd like."

"We'll see, its still weird for me to call you Haley since you were my teacher and all. But, thank you. Maybe one day I'll be comfortable enough to do that."

Nathan comes down the stairs with Jamie following him, "Come on Hales, lets go. I'm sure Sam can handle the little monster."

"Daddy!" Jamie yells in protest to being called a monster. "I'm not a monster, I'm a hotshot, right Sam?"

I smile down at the boy and say, "You sure are. Come on, I'm gonna beat you so bad at WII Basketball!"

"You wish!" Jamie yells, and runs to the living room to get the system set up.

"Have a good time guys."

"We will, thanks Sam," Nathan says.

"Anytime."
