Lucas's eyes widened as the blaring of a car horn echoed in his ears. He immediately jerked the steering wheel to the right, narrowly missing an oncoming truck, but the force of the maneuver was so strong that the 1957 restored BMW that they were driving veered into the ditch.

His knuckles where white as he gripped the steering wheel of the car, he looked at Peyton, his hands releasing the wheel as he caresses her cheek with one hand and inspected her with the other, tilting her chin up. "Are you okay?" he asked seriously, looking into her eyes.

Peyton nodded and immediately she swiveled around in her seat, "Sawyer?"

Lucas looked at his sister for a split second; although Lily looked slightly shaken, she gave her brother a thumbs up and Lucas nodded.

Simultaneously looking to his daughter as Peyton shrieked.

"I'm fine Mom." Came Sawyers drawl as Peyton scrambled from the passenger seat and yanked open the back door.

"Baby you're bleeding!" Peyton's forehead creased with worry as she thumbed the cut on her daughters forehead.

"It's just a bump." Sawyer insisted exasperated as Peyton continued to fuss over her. "I'm fine." Sawyer claimed, Peyton ignored her not meeting her eyes as she checked the rest of her daughter for injuries. "Mom!" Peyton finally met her eyes, "I'm fine." Sawyer told her more gently this time, keeping her eyes locked with her mothers until Peyton finally nodded.

"Of course you are." Peyton pulled her into a tight hug and pressed a kiss to Sawyers forehead, holding onto her a little too long before Sawyer began to disentangle herself from her mother.

Peyton rocked back.

"You can go now." Sawyer flashed an annoyed grin.

"Right." Peyton ran a hand through her hair before making a reluctant retreat back to her seat.

Lucas gave her shoulder a comforting squeeze, "We'll stop at the hospital on the way." Lucas told his wife, "Just to be safe." Peyton nodded.

"Ugh!" Sawyer groaned as she slumped further into her seat, "You two are so overdramatic!"

Lily snorted at the irony of Sawyers statement and received a glare from the younger girl.

"Better safe than sorry." Lucas quipped as he turned the key in the ignition.

The engine stuttered several times but refused to start.

Lucas sighed as he pushed his door open and stepped out into the tall cat tails that Peyton had somehow neglected to notice in her plight to make sure their daughter was uninjured.

His wife followed suit as they stood at the hood of the car and popped it open. A puff of smoke emerged from the engine. "It's overheated." Peyton observed.

Lucas nodded running a hand through his hair, "I guess we're going to have to call a tow."

The two headed back to the car and announced the news causing Sawyer to let loose another temper tantrum, "Of course we're stuck here!" she shrieked, "Why wouldn't we be?"

"We'll be back on the road in no time." Lucas assured her.

"Right because that's exactly what I want." Sawyer bit out snidely.

"Sawyer Brooke Scott." Peyton turned around in her seat frustrated with her daughters attitude, "I know you are upset about being away from your friends for a week but let me tell you something, if this is the worst thing that happens to you in your life you are pretty damn lucky, so close your mouth and stop acting like a spoiler brat, capisce?"

Sawyer glared at her mother, crossing her arms angrily over her chest but didn't say another word as she slumped back down into her seat.

Lily let out a relieved breath.

"So we're just running a bit late." Lucas explained into his cell phone, "The tow truck should be here in-" he checked his watch, "Twenty minutes?"

"Twenty minutes?" the woman on the other end laughed into the phone, "More like two hours."

Lucas groaned knowing she was right.

"Luke, we'll just come get you, it's on the way than you can wait with the car and we'll take Sawyer, Peyton, and Lily to the hospital for a quick check and we'll be good to go."

"Hales-"

"No arguing Lucas Scott. This is just what makes the most sense. Now tell me where you are."

Lucas smiled at his friend and sister in-law, knowing he couldn't argue, "Just off Highway 85 before the bridge."

"Be there in 15." Haley replied before hanging up.

Lucas ended the call, staring fondly at his phone for a moment before looking at Peyton "Change of plans."

"We're going to go pick up Peyton, Sawyer and Lily while Lucas waits for the tow truck." Haley told her husband.

"Cool." Nathan agreed as he jumped down from securing the extra storage compartment atop their SUV before swooping down to give her a tender kiss on the cheek.

Haley smiled, relishing in the moment for only a second before her brown eyes looked up at her husband, "So we're ready to go?"

Nathan nodded, "Just missing two important things." He eyes flashed playfully as Haleys brows furrowed confused.

"I'm sure I packed everything." She mentally began going over her list, using her fingers for assistance, "Pots, Pans, Dinners, Games, Toilet Paper, Towels, Bags, Kids Bags-"

"Kids?" Nathan offered.

Haley pursed her lips as she smacked him playfully shaking her head as she walked slightly towards the house, "Jamie! Lydia!" she called, shooting another glance back at her husband.

"Coming Mom!" Jamie came out the front door of the house sporting a backpack slung over one shoulder and a basketball under the other arm.

"You think we'll get a chance to shoot some hoops?" Jamie asked his Dad.

"I think we'll be able to get quite the game of three on three going, maybe more." Nathan winked at his son and Jamie smiled.

Jamie was in the process of completing a degree in Psychology and Business at Duke University. He was top of his class and the captain of the schools basketball team. He had grown into a tall, handsome, and polite young man.

"Lydia!" Hayley called again before heading back towards the house in search of her daughter.

Hayley's eyes widened when she realized her daughter was on all fours, hysterically crying as she rooted through her bag. "Lydie, what's wrong?" Haley breathed as she sunk down onto the floor beside her daughter.

"I can't find it." Lydia continued to search the bag uncontrollably scattering its contents across the hallway.

"Find what honey?" Haley asked gently tucking a strand of her daughters honey suckle hair behind her ear.

Lydia looked up at her mother in a panic, "Sawyers CD! It was just here and now it's GONE! Ohmygod she's going to kill me."

"I think that's a little excessive." Haley frowned although she knew how Sawyer could be, when Lydia gave her an 'I don't think so' look she sighed, "It's got to be here somewhere."

"I didn't even want the stupid thing. I don't like that kind of music." Lydia explained rapidly, "I didn't think-" she pulled at her hair in frustration.

"Okay." Haley took her hands, "Lydie, listen to me. Everything is going to be okay. I know your cousin can be a little bit…er…temperamental. But this was an accident okay? She'll understand. We'll just buy her a new CD."

Lydia's sobs had subsided and now she just sniffled and nodded. Haley gave her a soft smile. "Now lets get this cleaned up." She suggested kindly, "We're running late."
