Hey guys! Sorry for the appalling lack of updates but it has been a very bust two weeks! I have had exams and assignments to finish. Not to mention I am typing with a broken arm due to a minor sledging accident at the weekend when I went out to enjoy the snow! I apologise if this chapter isn't quite up to par, but I hope you enjoy it!

Lucas shifted slightly in the bed as his eyes fluttered open. Sunlight was drifting through a crack in the curtains and he could hear the birdsong from outside. He gazed over to his wife who was sprawled across his chest, still deep in slumber. Not wanting to wake her, he carefully moved from underneath her and crawled gently out of bed, kissing her forehead as he did so. Turning his attention to the clock he saw that it was only 6:15. He made his way out the bedroom towards the kitchen, knowing that he wouldn't get back to sleep.

He peeked his head into the boy's room on his way out, smiling when he saw they were still soundly asleep. Keith had somehow moved into a position that had his upper body hanging off the bed with his legs still tucked into the sheets. Lucas quietly crept into the room and tenderly moved his son back into the bed. It wasn't that high up and wouldn't cause harm if Keith fell, but it wouldn't have been a pleasant experience for him. Lucas stroked his son's hair before turning to check on William. The little boy was dead to world as he slept on his stomach clutching a Raven's teddy bear, causing the smile on Lucas' face to become even wider.

He took a moment to observe his boys before softly making his way out the room. Upon entering the kitchen, he grabbed a glass of water and made his way outside. He was shocked to see Nathan sitting at the table, basking in the morning sun.

"Hey. I didn't think anyone would be up this early." Lucas said as he joined his brother at the table.

Nathan opened his eyes as he turned towards Luke and shot him a smile.

"Me neither, for some reason I woke up eager to start the day" he lightly chuckled.

For a moment they sat in silence just taking in their surroundings. At length, Nathan continued the conversation.

"So how was the first night in the RV? Did you find the beds comfy?"

Lucas gave a small smirk "yeah. Real comfy" came his simple response.

Nathan took in his brother's smirk, recognising the expression. "Oh, gross! How were you even awake enough to do that? You were practically sleep walking when we all went to bed last night."

Lucas' answer came in the form of a shrug.

"You and Peyton are like a couple of randy teenagers! It no surprise you had two kids within three years" he joked, causing Lucas to laugh.

"Seriously though Luke, I'm glad to see you two happy. You deserve it" Nathan said

Lucas looked at his brother. "Thanks Nate, that means a lot. It's good to see you and Haley so happy too"

"We both did good didn't we?" Nathan smiled in reflection.

"We both got lucky more like" joked Lucas.

"Hey either way, we deserve it after all the crap we have been through over the years."

Lucas nodded in agreement. "You know, I watch the boys play together or see Peyton colouring with them at the kitchen table and I wonder how I ever lived life without them or what I ever did to deserve them. I've achieved a lot over the years. Published a few novels, won a state championship, and went to college. But none of that can even hold a candle to Peyton and the boys, nothing comes close. Because being with Peyton and having Keith and William, that's my greatest achievement. They are the best things that have ever happened to me, they are my whole life."

Nathan sat quietly and absorbed his brother's words. Inside he was smiling as Lucas had just described how he felt about Haley, Jamie and Aidan.

"That's very sentimental for this early in the morning" Nathan teased.

Lucas laughed before he responded "you were the one who got talking about family."

"Yeah, I know. But for the record Lucas, I feel exactly the same way."

The two brothers shared a smile before enjoying the stillness that the early morning brought.

An hour later saw most of the gang enjoying their breakfast outside. The only ones missing were Skills and Sam, who had insisted that they needed much more sleep.

"So, what is on the agenda for today?" asked Brooke cheerily.

"Dunno. What does everyone want to do?"Peyton asked as she fed William bite sized pieces of fruit.

"Well, I know that this probably isn't the fun filled option but we need to stock up on groceries. The sooner we get it done the better." Haley said

The others nodded in agreement.

"Tell you what, why doesn't Lucas and Nathan head out and get the supplies while we get everything together here?" Brooke suggested.

"Hey! Why do we have to go?" whined Nathan.

"Yeah!?" agreed Lucas as he moved stand next to Nathan.

"Because we are the girls and you have to do what we say or else" replied Brooke sweetly.

Lucas and Nathan shared a look before they sighed.

"Fine, but we are taking Jamie and Keith" Lucas said triumphantly, as though this would be horrible for the girls to handle.

"That's fine babe, gives up more time to relax" Peyton winked at her husband.

Nathan and Lucas kissed their wives goodbye and collected their eldest sons.

"That's great! No goodbye kiss for me!" she jokingly pouted.

Lucas and Nathan moved either side of her and both pressed a kiss to her cheek. This action was then mirrored by Jamie and Keith, causing everyone to break out in laughter as the guys left.

"William! Don't throw food!" admonished Peyton.

The baby looked blankly at his mother and then to the food on the floor before breaking out in laughter.

"Does that baby do anything but laugh?" Sam moaned as she made her way out the RV.

"I know, shocking that he is so happy when he has two broody parents" Laughed Brooke.

Sam threw herself into one of the plastic chairs as she looked around.

"Where are the others?" she questioned

"We sent Lucas and Nathan off to the onsite store to get some groceries, they took Keith and Jamie with them" answered Millie as she sipped her cup of coffee.

"Skills is still asleep" continued Haley.

"Right" Sam nodded as she stretched in her chair. I hope Nathan and Lucas get chocolate" she muttered as she closed her eyes.

"Ok, here we are" said Nathan as he and Lucas stood outside the campsite store. It wasn't huge, but seemed to contain the essentials that you would need on a camping trip.

"So, what do you think we should get?" Lucas asked.

"Get cookies Daddy!" Keith shouted from on top of his father's shoulders.

Lucas chuckled. Keith had definitely inherited his love of cookies from his dad.

"Ok buddy we will get cookies"

They made their way through the store deciding in what they might need.

"It was so nice of the girls to provide us with a list if what to get" Nathan muttered sarcastically.

"But they didn't give you a list Daddy" said Jamie with a frown causing his uncle to burst out laughing. Jamie sure was one literal kid.

"I was just being sarcastic Jimmy-Jam" Nathan told his son. "Well, we definitely need more beer. We were running low on that last night"

"Beer it is then" Lucas said as he steered the trolley down the aisle.

"This is the life!" Brooke sighed as she sat in the chair basking in the sun. "No work, no interruptions, just niceness"

Haley scoffed. "Niceness isn't a word Brooke" she smiled.

"Well it is now. I should send it to the people who write the dictionary, Niceness: something that is more than just nice." She smiled proudly at herself.

"Now your life is truly complete" Sam grinned as she held William on her lap. She was trying to do 'this little piggy' with him but her efforts were futile as William would laugh the minute she touched his toes.

"You're not supposed to laugh until I have finished it!" she reprimanded. "It is strange how happy this baby is!"

"Hey, there are no complaints from me! If all I have to worry about is him laughing too much then bring it on!" Peyton smiled.

William once again smiled as drool gathered around his mouth and threatened to fall. Seeing this, Sam quickly scrambled to get the boy back to his mother.

"Urrg! Take him, quick!" as she shoved the baby at Peyton.

Peyton laughed as she wiped her son's mouth with a tissue. "Relax Sam, it's not like it will kill you"

"No, but it's disgusting. That's bad enough!"

The women simply laughed at her revulsion.

Just then, Skills made his way out of the RV with a wide yawn.

"Well good morning man, nice of you to honour us with your presence!" laughed Mouth.

"Shut up Dawg, I'm on vacation. I'm allowed to sleep as much as I want" Skills replied.

He looked around, noticing that it was quite. Too quite. He then noticed the absent Scott's.

"Where's Luke, Nate, and the mini Scott's?"

Brooke rolled her eyes at the question she had heard repeatedly that morning.

"They have gone to the store to get some shopping."

"Oh, good. I hope they get some beer" He mused out loud

A little while later Lucas and Nathan finally returned. Their arrival was announced by Keith who ran into their spot screaming. He headed straight to his mother and landed on her lap. Jamie did the same thing to Haley.

"Hey Mommy!" he yelled excitedly.

Peyton laughed at her son "hey baby boy. Did you have fun with Daddy?"

"Yeah, he brought me some cookies" he smiled, showing his mom the half eaten bag.

"Did he now?" she asked as she shot a glare to her husband, who had just arrived with Nathan, pulling some sort of cart.

"You little traitor. You weren't supposed to tell" Lucas mock scolded Keith. The little boy just giggled at his father.

"What's with the cart?" asked Millie.

Nathan panted as he dropped the handle. "The shop lends them out so you can take your stuff back to your camping pitch if it's really heavy."

Millie nodded in response.

"So, what goodies do you have for us?" asked Brooke as she, along with Peyton and Haley, dived for the cart. They weren't pleased with what they saw.

The three rounded on Lucas and Nathan, who quickly picked up William and Aidan, knowing they were less likely to get killed if they were holding the babies.

"Did you buy anything but beer?!" Haley yelled at them.

Nathan scoffed "of course we did. We bought the bag of cookies."

Seeing the looks on their wives faces, Lucas knew that Nathans response hadn't helped.

"Nice work man, piss them off more" Lucas whispered at his brother as the babies were swiftly removed from their arms, leaving no barrier of protection for them. The brothers shared a look and gulped.

Hope you enjoyed it. It took so long to type with one arm so I apologise for any typos! The beer incident was based upon my experience when I went on a family trip last year and we stupidly let my brothers go and do the shopping. They came back with loads of booze; it looked like they were setting up a shop! Needless to say, they were never allowed to go shopping again unless they were properly supervised! Please review, tell me your thoughts!
