So this is Chapter 7. We will have scenes of Lucas, Peyton and the twins in this chapter. I will also begin to fade Lindsey out and start preparing the way for the Brooke/Owen wedding. This chapter and into next chapter Lindsey will square off with Peyton, Brooke and surprisingly Karen. So I hope you enjoy….

Peyton is in the nursery playing with Anna and Ellie. It has been two weeks since Lucas found out he was a daddy and since he has been spending a lot of time at Peyton's house.

"Hey Peyt." Peyton looks up to see Lucas standing in the doorway of the nursery.

"Hey Lucas. How are you today?"

"I am better now that I get to see my girls. How are you my little angel?" He asks as he picks up Anna. Just then Ellie crawls over to him and says "dada"

"Aww that is so cute Luke she wants your attention too. I think our girls are going to both be daddy's little girls." She says with a smile as Lucas sits on the floor beside Ellie while still holding Anna.

"Oh come here baby girl I have enough room for both of you to sit on my lap." Ellie crawls up beside her sister and sits on her daddy's lap.

"They are wonderful Peyton. Again I am so sorry that you had to go through it all on your own for so long. I wanted to discuss some things with you. If its ok I would like to maybe talk now while we play with the girls" He says

"Sure what's up Luke?"

"Well I am going back to New York tomorrow. But only for one day. I will be home tomorrow evening. I am going to get my stuff. But the thing is I really need to find somewhere else to stay. I can't keep staying with Nathan and Haley or my Mom and Andy. So I was wondering if when I get back you wouldn't mind helping me find somewhere close to you to live. That way I can be here whenever you need me to help with the girls. I want your approval though since you are the mother of my children and I want you to be comfortable with where they will be staying some times. Do you think you can help me maybe?"

"Sure Luke but I have a better idea. Why don't you stay here for awhile? I have an extra bedroom and I really think it would be good for you to be able to spend time with the girls day or night. You could help me with the bills and it would actually save both of us money and the girls would have their daddy here all the time. But if you aren't comfortable with that I can understand. I just think it would be good for everyone."

"Yeah Peyton that would be a great idea if you are sure you don't mind."

"Lucas I am the one who came up with the idea. Of course I don't mind silly." She says and tosses a pillow towards him barely hitting his leg.

"Hey I am holding our daughters here." He says tossing the pillow back at her while laughing.

"Oh I didn't even come close to hitting them." She laughs.

"This is nice Peyton sitting here being friends and playing with the girls."

While they are sitting there playing with the girls they don't know that Lindsey is outside the house waiting for Lucas to come outside so she can confront him and demand he move back to New York and be her husband.

"Well Peyton why don't we take the girls for a walk it is a beautiful day."

"Sure they would like. Let me just get their coats and I will be ready." Peyton gets the girls coats and Lucas helps her put them on. They get the stroller and put the girls into it. When they open the door and walk out Lindsey crosses the street and starts yelling at Peyton "You are nothing but a whore. He is still my husband and you have him in your house doing god knows what with him. How pathetic Peyton go get your own man."

"Lindsey" Lucas starts but Peyton cuts him off.

"Lucas take the girls back inside it is time Lindsey and I settle this right now." Just then Brooke walks up.

"Luke Peyton's right take the girls inside and let P and I handle Lindsey." Brooke says. Looking defeated Lucas takes the girls back inside.

"Lindsey how dare you start screaming at me in front of my daughters? You scared the hell out of them. Why don't you get your ass off my property. I have had enough of you and your shit. I am done with it. Lucas doesn't want to be with you. Get over yourself and just sign the damn divorce papers already."

"Why don't you just shut the hell up Peyton I am tired of hearing your name. Blah blah blah Lucas didn't marry me boo hoo hoo. Cry me a freaking river Peyton. He married me and he will stay married to me whether you like or not. Leave my husband alone and stay away from him."

"Ok Lindsey you have stepped way out of bounds here. Nobody talks to my best friend like that." Brooke says getting in her face.

"Brooke its ok I can handle her."

"Yeah Brooke she can handle me. Peyton you are nothing but a whore who needs to fess up that those girls in there are not Lucas' you just want him back so you are using them to get to him. Its not his fault you can't keep your legs closed and you got pregnant with two bastards." before she could finish her rant Peyton knocks her back on her ass.

"Lindsey I will take a lot but you will not speak that way about my children. Now I suggest you get up and go back to New York and sign the divorce papers." Then Peyton stomps back into the house. Lucas comes out and asks Brooke what happened.

"Peyton just knocked Lindsey onto her ass for talking about the girls. Now its my turn. Lindsey don't you ever speak those baby's names again. If I hear you even utter one word about either Ellie, Anna or Peyton I will hurt you. That is not a threat that is a promise that you can take to the bank. So take yourself and get out of here. As for Lucas give him the divorce he wants so he can move on. Stop chasing a man who doesn't want you."

"Oh right like Brooke Davis never chased a man that didn't want her. I read the book Brooke you chased Lucas as well and if I had to guess I would say you still wanted to be with him. So that is the pot calling the kettle black."

"No Lindsey I don't want Lucas. What happened between him and I was a long time ago. I let him go so that he could be happy with Peyton and so my best friend would be happy. I suggest you do the same thing." With that Brooke walks into the house.

"Go home Lindsey you aren't wanted here." Then Lucas walks into the house leaving Lindsey standing there stunned.

Inside the house… "Peyton I am so sorry she showed up here. I didn't mean to bring this to your home and in front of our girls." Lucas says apologizing.

"Luke it isn't your fault she followed you here. You didn't even know she was still in town. I feel better now that I was able to take out my frustration on her." Peyton says with a grin. They all laugh.

"Yeah actually I feel better too P. I really let her have it when you walked back in. That felt good."

"Thanks for sticking up for me B."

"Any time my dear best friend."

Cut to Karen's house….

Lindsey knocks on the door and Karen answers. "Lindsey what are you doing here?"

"Karen I know you don't really care for me but I want you to tell your son to come home with me to New York. He can't keep this little charade up for long. It's getting old."

"Lindsey I am sorry but I most certainly will not tell him to do that. I don't blame him for asking you for a divorce. How could you keep something so important from him?"

"Oh Karen what the hell do you know. You raised him to be dependent on you for everything. I am so sick of this town and all the people in it who think they are better than everybody. I am especially sick of Peyton Sawyer so she has been raising two kids by herself wow she isn't the only single mom out there. Seriously who cares. What kind of a mom can she make being a whore? I demand my husband leaves here with me at once and that he stays away from that home wrecking whore."

"Lindsey get the hell out of my house. You will not come in here and talk to me that way and you will not talk about the people I love that way. I raised Lucas to be a very stable young man. He has done more in his 25 years than most people have done in 60 years. So give him the divorce and stay out of his life. As for Peyton, she is a wonderful mother and a better person than you will ever be. Peyton has never been a whore and she fights for what she wants. Lucas doesn't love you like he loves her. Can't you see that? Get that through your head. Leave Tree Hill go back to New York and sign the damn papers Lindsey. Oh yeah stay the hell away from my son, Peyton and their daughters." Then Karen slams the door in her face. Lindsey just stands there crying. Then she decides to go back to New York.

Okay I am going to end here. Let me know what you think and yes Lindsey will be gone by the beginning to middle of the next chapter. Preview: Peyton, Brooke and Haley start planning Brooke's wedding to Owen. Lucas and Peyton start growing closer.
