Chapter 7

We were finally in Utah! It was covered in fresh white snow and a fresh layer of ice which Skills had already slipped on as soon as we got out of the airport. When we pulled up to the cabin all of our jaws dropped.

"Wow! That is a cabin?!" Jamie said from the backseat.

"It looks like a castle! It is so big!" Logan chimed in.

"Julian said it is bigger than the one that we stayed at last time but this is ridiculous!" Nathan said getting out of the car.

"Okay, this place has 8 bedrooms so all couples get their own room and then I figured Jamie and Logan could share one and then Lydia and Sawyer could share the other one and all of the kids younger will sleep in the room with their parents. Sound good?" Julian announced.

"Sounds perfect!" Jamie and Logan said.

"Okay lets settle in and then us guys are going to go be woodly men and go chop down our Christmas tree!" Julian smiled.

"Great! Why couldn't we just buy one?" Clay said.

"Staying in a cabin and buying a tree? That doesn't sound good to me at all. This Christmas is going to be perfect, we are all together and healthy so we are going to cut down a real tree and decorate it like they did in the old days!" Brooke chimed in.

We all went in and the men started carrying everything in while we women were getting the bedrooms ready. It was nice that Jamie and Logan were going to be able to share a room, even though I was afraid they may destroy it. Sawyer and Lydia both thought they were princesses so this was either going to go really well or we were going to have a break down in a matter of minutes. I could hear Logan and Jamie jumping on the bed in there room when I walked in.

"Jamie Scott and Logan Clay you break that box spring and you are sleeping on the floor!" I said carrying in sheets and clothes.

"This bed is huge!" Logan said.

"That's why you two are going to share it, it is better than sleeping on the couch right?" Quinn said carrying in Logans' clothes.

"Yeah, as long as Jamie doesn't snore!" Logan said laughing.

"Hey! I don't snore!" Jamie argued back.

"Okay! Before we have a fight break out on our first day get over here and put your clothes in these drawers! Jamie you get the top two drawers and Logan you get the bottom two drawers." Quinn said putting Logans' clothes on the floor by the dresser.

"I'm going to put Lydias' stuff up but after you two get done putting your clothes away go help the guys carry in the bags and groceries please!" I said walking out the door to the girls' room.

"Hello my pretty girls!" I said walking into Lydia and Sawyers room.

"Hi Aunt Haley!" Sawyer yelled and ran to me.

"Well hello, do you like your room?" I asked.

"Ummm.." She said shyly.

"What's the matter?" I said putting the clothes on the bed.

"I am afraid of the bed." She said.

"Why? Lydia will be in here with you so you won't be alone. What's wrong honey?" I said

"I might fall off the bed and break my bones!" She said very dramatically.

"Wow! Well don't worry I have a guard that either your daddy or Uncle Nathan is going to put on the bed so you won't fall out…and break your bones." I said trying not to laugh at her dramatic nature.

"Thanks!" She said and went back to coloring with Lydia on the floor.

I started putting Lydias' clothes away and looked down at the little girls coloring on the floor. This is what I envisioned when I thought of Lucas and me future when we were kids, our children sitting on the floor playing peacefully together. It turned out though that things are better than I could have imagined because Quinn's son and my son are best friends and I know once Brookes twins get old enough they were going to be best friends with Sawyer and Lydia and they would take Tree Hill on together which gave me such a sense of peace and happiness.

"Haley, when you are done with that can you comes help me! The twins will not stop crying and I am trying to put the stuff away and they are just driving me a little crazy!" Brooke said with a crying Jude on her hip.

"Of course, I am almost done with this, then I will be in there just stay calm." I said to her.

"Millie, Peyton and I are going to put the groceries away if you guys don't mind getting the kids settled and everything." Quinn stood next to Brooke.

"That sounds fine Quinn thanks." I said putting the last of the stuff in Lydias' drawer.

"Nathan! Have you carried the baby gates in yet? I want to put one in here while all of us are up and busy so that Lydia can't walk around and get hurt or walk around and get outside!" I yelled.

"Yeah, I am coming with it now!" I heard him yell back as I stood up.

"Thanks babe, I won't keep it up all of the time but I don't like the idea of all of us running around and her being able to walk around and make her big escape!" I said laughing.

After 2 hours of putting things up and getting everyone inside and warm all of us women were in the kitchen cooking while the men were lounging on the couches tired after carrying in a million different bags. They were not use to the cold weather so it was kind of hitting their bodies a little hard.

"Okay why do I feel like we are sister wives?!" Peyton said laughing.

"Oh my gosh!" Quinn said busted out laughing.

"Please like those men in there could handle having all of us as wives!" Brooke chimed in.

"So true, they can barely keep up with one forget about all of us!" Millie said.

"We are a close group of friends but we aren't that close! Besides we all about didn't survive the Lucas, Peyton, Brooke triangle more less all of us!" I said laughing.

"We would all kill each other within an hour!" Brooke said laughing.

"I want to go play in the snow!" Logan yelled coming into the kitchen.

"Not until after dinner buddy, then all of us will go outside but we need to eat first and your dad and uncles need to warm up before they go back out there." Quinn said.

After we all sat down and ate and laughed at stories from the past and catching up with everyone and thanking Julian for getting all of this for us so we could be together. The men grabbed chain saws and bundled up and headed out to find the perfect tree.

"Can we go mom?" Jamie asked.

"Absoululy not! I don't know if the adults are going to make it back alive more less kids so no you have to stay around here. Go start building a snow fort." I said as Jamie stomped off disappointed.

"Good call Hales, I would have probably said yes but now that I think of all of the men that are out there with chainsaws and don't know what they are doing. Not a good idea for kids to be involved in that mess. We will be lucky if they make it back unharmed." Quinn said laughing
