Hi guys it's been a long time. But I have not forgotten about my loyal readers and of course my story. I was taking some time off and went on a trip. I took me and my best friend and went to Wilmington to visit the home of the show we love. I saw Peyton's house Luke's house and Brooke's house. SAME RED DOOR! It's crazy we took a video diary while we were there. It was so surreal. I just can't believe I can cross that off my bucket list! Well here is part 4.

Chapter 9

Peyton opened her eyes to a blinding white light. She looked around without moving her head and she was in a white room with white walls and metal tools everywhere. She knew she was in the hospital. She turned her head to see a sleeping Sawyer in the chair next to her. She reached out her and and timidly rested it atop the small one. Sawyer stirred and lifted her head to find her mother's emerald green eyes looking at her. A huge smile comes across the girls face and she climbs onto the bed to greet her mother with a hug.

"Hi mama!"

"Hey baby girl. I missed you."

"I missed you too mama. I am so sorry. I don't hate you. I love you."

"I have waited so long to hear you say that baby. I love you too."

Peyton squeezed the little girl tightly. They laid there in silence and Peyton stroked Sawyer's blonde curls until she fell asleep. She kissed her daughter on the forehead. She rested her head atop the pillow and dozed off.

When Peyton woke again Sawyer was still asleep. She looked around to find lucas outside her door on the phone. He hung up and walked in with a bouquet of flowers. Peyton lightly whispers.

"Well if it isn't Lucas Scott."

Lucas turns to see Peyton's smile wide and so perfect.

"Hello Peyt." Lucas wiped a few tears from his eyes.

"I see Sawyer came around." Lucas smiled.

"She called me Mama and she said she loved me." Peyton smiled.

"I do love you mama." Sawyer said sleepily.

Sawyer woke up to her father standing over her. She smiled at him and her mother.

"Did you see dad. Mama finally woke up!" The tiny blue eyed blonde exclaimed.

"I see!" Luke smiled.

Peyton hugged Sawyer again.

"I'm gonna call Josh and tell him about the good news. I'll be right back. I love you dad. I love you mama." Sawyer smiled as she walked out.

Peyton rested against the pillow and sighed.

"How are you feeling Peyt?" Luke asked sweetly."

"I'm fine just really tired. I don't remember what happened. Why am I here?"

"You were in a car accident. Peyt. A head on collision with an S.U.V. you are lucky to be alive. You have been in acoma for five months."

Peyton's eyes widened. "What? well what happened while I was here?"

Luke smiled. "We will discuss all of that but right now. I just wanna look at you. I just wanna be happy that you are fine."

They fell silent for a few moments until the door opened.

"P. Sawyer?" Brooke poked her head in the doorway.

Peyton smiled at her best friend. The smile faded when she remembered the vivid dream-like sleep she was in. The silence was awkward.

"So I take you two are together again?" Peyton asked.

"No!" They both spoke in unison.

Peyton looked really confused.

"Peyt. I am going to be honest with you. Brooke and I did kiss and for a second I thought maybe there could be something but I realized that I only love you. I am so sorry about how angry I got about Sawyer and I should have pushed her to give you a chance but i was mad, furious but I know why you did what you did and I think you are so strong and so brave and for that you made me realize that I can't blame you for that. I do blame you for one thing though." Lucas paused.

Peyton glared at him as she waited in anticipation.

"I blame you for stealing my heart Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer. I blame you because this feeling I have been feeling the last 15 years wasn't hurt. It was longing. Longing for you to be back where you belong with me. So now I will let you think about it but I do love you Peyt. Always have and always will." He finished.

"Well after that I just wanna say I love you P. Sawyer. maybe not in that particular way but I love you. I missed you and you scared me I thought I lost my soul sister and I don't think that is a world I want to live in." Brooke smiled.

Peyton motioned Brooke to come closer. Brooke timidly shuffled across the room. Peyton looked at her friend and smiled.

"I love you too B. Davis!" Peyton said as she stretched her arms out to embrace the brunette. Brooke settled into her friend's skinny arms and smiled.

They two girls finished their moment as Lucas watched.

"Lucas Scott, I have always loved you. You saved me from myself and I know now more than ever that I need you. I need you to help me with Sawyer and help me with all this love because the more I think about it we are a little family and it scares me. I haven't had much of a family except Brooke so I need to learn." Peyton smiled.

Lucas smiled widely. As he walked over and planted a kiss onto her lips. The door slowly opens up and everyone looks to see Sawyer emerge from the doorway.

"Were you two just kissing?" She asked.

All three adults begin to laugh. "Yes we were." Luke said.

"Okay." Sawyer said bluntly.

"Okay? That's all? You aren't mad?" Peyton asked.

The little blonde shook her head violently. "No. You are my mama and he is my dad and that's what people in love do. When I first met dad he told me he wasn't over you and when we met mama, I knew you missed dad. It was always awkward and there was a sense of 'unfinished business' and I am just so happy that I am what brought you two back together. Even though I am the reason you guys broke up in the first place." She finished looking ashamed.

"Sawyer Brooke Scott. I do not regret you one bit. You may not know it but you are the reason for making the woman you see here today. I am a mother, girlfriend and best friend, a god mother and Aunt. I am all these things because of you. I knew that one day we would be together again and I wanted you to be proud of me. Sawyer you are the most amazing girl I've met. So smart, strong, and artistic you get those from me. I see so much of me in you and you know what. You learned all that on your own. I am sorry that we weren't able to this sooner but I love you. You are your mother's daugher." Peyton smiled.

Sawyer wiped a few tears that came down her face and climbed into her mother's bed and hugged her tightly.

"I am so proud to be your daughter." She wrapped her small arms around her mother's neck.
