"Morning Jimmy Jam. Come on, its time to get up for school." Haley said as she bent down to kiss Jamie on his forehead.
"Mama, I don't want to go to school," Jamie whined as he wiped sleep out of his eyes.
"Why not? Come on, Uncle Skillz is going to come and get you and Lily today at 1 o'clock from school because you finish early and me, Dad and Aunt Karen are all working." Haley said as she sat on her son's bed.
"I know but seeing as Lily and I only have half a day of school couldn't we just miss it and go out with Uncle Skillz straight away?"
"Come on Jamie, it'll be the holidays before you know it yeah? Now hurry up and get ready or your Daddy is going to have eaten all of the waffles."
"We're having waffles?! Mama will you make Dad save me at least three?"
"Three? Sure. But you got to hurry up and get ready first." Haley said as she left her son's room only to meet her husband on the landing.
"Morning, I missed you last night," Nathan said as he pressed his lips tightly against Haley's.
"Yeah, you too. Brooke and I had a lot to talk about last night." Haley said with a smile on her face.
"Oh yeah, like what?" Nathan said as he pulled Haley in for another kiss.
Haley was about to begin to tell her husband about what his brother had been up to last night but she noticed Jamie walk out of his room so thought better of it. "I'll tell you later," she murmured.
"Oh that good huh?" Nathan joked as he ran his hand through Jamie's hair messing it up.
"Dad I've just done my hair!" Jamie said in an exasperated voice.
"Oh you had sorry J I hadn't realised," Nathan said in a mock apologetic voice.
"Daddy you better run," Jamie said as menacingly as he could (it didn't work) before charging at Nathan.
Haley looked on and laughed as father and son rolled around on the floor.
Back in New York Lucas and Peyton were waking up together in a hotel that was situated just off Times Square.
"Morning gorgeous girl," Lucas said with a smile before turning over to face Peyton.
"Morning beautiful boy," Peyton smirked as she kissed Lucas. "Luc, I need to ask you something."
"Ok, fire away," Lucas trying to keep the worry out of his face and voice.
"So, how come you're here? I'm glad you are, don't get me wrong it's, well, what made you change your mind?"
Lucas did not answer immediately; instead he went to his suitcase and picked out a white envelope. "I came back because what is inside this envelope made me realise what is inside my heart," he said as gave Peyton the envelope.
"Is this the one I gave you?" she asked slightly confused.
"Open it and see," Lucas replied.
Peyton took the envelope in one hand and opened it with the other hand. "It's a little heavier than I remember," she commented as she took out two pieces of paper.
"I added something of my own," Lucas said as he studied Peyton's face carefully, searching for her reaction.
Peyton took the first piece of paper. It was a photograph of her and Lucas at the Honeygrove Prom 5 years ago. She then turned it over in her hands and read what she had scribbled on the back before giving the envelope to Lucas, 'Me and Lucas at the Honeygrove Prom (perfect night); I love you P x'. Peyton handed the photograph to Lucas before looking at the second piece of paper. This piece of paper was a picture Peyton had drawn herself; it showed an engagement ring's shine being covered by her hand. Once again she turned it over to read what she had scribbled on the back, 'When you asked I said someday. Someday is today, tomorrow and every other day. P x.'
Lucas turned Peyton's head to face his lightly with his left index finger, the two then shared an intimate kiss before Lucas once again handed Peyton the envelope so she could see what he had added. Peyton carefully pried open the envelope before pulling out what looked like a wad of plain A4 paper stapled together. Lucas noticed Peyton's confused expression; he smiled as he turned the papers over to show her the 'cover'.
"Lucas Scott," Peyton read out-loud. "Erm Luc, what is this?"
"Open it and see," Lucas said as if that was the most obvious thing to do.
Peyton did so. She read the first page, this wasn't just a wad of plain paper no, this was the first two chapter of Lucas' third novel! Peyton could not help but laugh at this.
"What's so funny?" Lucas asked slightly offended.
"Nothing. It's just really sweet that's all," Peyton said but as Lucas did not seem thoroughly convinced she added, "Lucas, hey, I really appreciate it, thanks," before kissing him passionately to confirm this.
"You better," Lucas said jokingly before saying, "We're going to have to get going soon if you're going to be at the café on time to meet that guy on time."
"Oh no, I don't have to be there until two, which gives us at least… an hour and a half," Peyton said playfully with a slightly seductive smile.
"I know so I thought we could have a look round the city… unless you had a better idea?"
"Well I did have one."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."
The two giggled slightly before kissing and making out passionately and intimately. They had missed this closeness and intimacy that the two had only ever shared with each other.
