Haleys Pov:

Sawyer, Lucas Scott was born on August 25 at 3:00 in the morning. It's the oldest story in the world one minute your 16 and planning for someday and then quietly ,without you even really acknowledging it ,someday is today and then then someday was yesterday ,and this is your life .

That's exactly how I felt today. My baby was born four years ago and I don't even know how fast the time had passed, I suppose that's what happens when you're surrounded by people you love .Am guessing that there are around 6,470,818,671 people in the world . Some are running scared, some are coming home. Some are still waiting to come home. Some tell lies to get it through the day. Others are now facing the truth. Some are at war with good , and some good is struggling with evil . Six billion people in the world six billion souls and sometimes all you actually need is a few .

" What's on your mind ?" Nathan said behind me as he enclosed his arms around my waist.

" Can you believe it ,our baby is four years old today ." I whispered as I observed him. He was hiding around the counter with his favorite person in the world as he puts it . While Jake counted till ten .

" Which one?" he responded with a chuckle as he watched Peyton and swyars head pop out on the side looking to see if Jake was near them .

' Nathan I'm being serious ." I stated, shaking him playfully.

" I know what you mean though ,the years have passed by in a flash ." He said, kissing the top of my head," a lot has happened in the last couple of years." he said gazing at the curly blond.

" She's been through a lot." I whispered softly but she's fine, she's a fighter and for the first time in a long time she's happy, I mean do you see the size of that grin. I stated with a chuckle.

" Well hales you see when a man and a woman love each other they tend to have fun in the bedroom witch puts them in good moods ."

" Nathan Scott !"

" While Ms. Scott I didn't know you possessed such a mind, I was referring to a pillow fight ." He replied with a smirk.

" For certain, you were ." I stated, rolling my eyes.

" He's good for her, though, right I mean he won't do what Luc-

" No. That boy loves her that's for sure, I can see it in the way he looks at her the way he takes care of her kind of the way you act ." I said with a playful smirk.

" He better or ill kill him." he said sternly . I smiled you see some young adult females would be jealous if their husband was so concern about another woman, but I now better he loves her like his little sister and he takes care of her like a big brother should .

" Hey look at it this way swyar thinks he's ok and we all now he guards peyt like there's no tomorrow ." I injected with a smile.

" Yeah, he really does like her huh ?"

" The kid adores her." I said with a chuckle .

" Mummy, daddy . Can we have some cake now!" swyar asked, running towards us .

" Hmm, I don't know are you going to be a good little boy if we do ?"

" Yes, I promise." he said with a small puppy dog face, he managed to steal from his aunt Peyton .

" Ok then ."

" Yay !" He shouted as he grabbed the peytons hand and guided her towards the table Jake right behind them .

" I'll grab the cake you go with them ." I told Nathan. He nodded and cleared his way to them , he tickled sawyer while Jake and Peyton laughed loudly.

I smiled as I couldn't help but feel it happiness. To think happiness comes in many forms in the company of good friends ,in the feeling you receive when you make someones elses dream come true,or in the promise of hope renewed. It's ok to let yourself be happy because you -

The sound of the door ringing snapped me out of my thoughts . I was surprised to see a small black haired boy standing at the door, I squinted my eyes , the kid looked so familiar." Hey kiddo, what are you doing here all by yourself? What's your name?" I asked

" Mom and dad are coming I just wanted to knock on the door ." He stated proudly.

It was then I recognized who he reminded me of and I could feel all the color drain from my face.

" Hey stranger long time no see ." A familiar voice stated . I was frightened to look up, but I had to and when my suspicions were confirmed I swear my mouth almost hit the ground my last thoughts running back in my head .

It's ok to let yourself be happy because you never know how fleeting that happiness may be .
