Thanks to those who have reviewed, favourite, or alerted this story it means a lot to me!

After dinner, Brooke and Jake had to take a sleeping Jenny up to bed, this left time for Peyton to bond with the two other Scott.

They go down and get some ice cream down by the beach; Lucas and Nathan are ordering the ice cream whilst Peyton and Haley are talking.

"Look Peyton, I am really sorry about the misunderstanding when we first arrived" "Haley, seriously it's fine, Brooke is like that sometimes, she's a pretty good actor, but um... Does Lucas sleep around a lot, it's just from your reaction; I'm just not sure; I didn't think he was one to sleep around!"

"Honestly Peyton, he is not. That's why we were so shocked about what Brooke said. He is probably the best guy other than Nathan that I have ever met. He was bought up to respect women and he has two amazing parents who love him and each other more than life itself.

He has always wanted to be in love when he got married, he's a romantic at heart and an old soul- he wants to have a marriage like his parents, and not like Nathans- both boys do."

At this point Lucas and Nathan are heading over, so the girls decided to stop their conversation, "so two chocolate obsessions" Lucas says, gesturing to Peyton and Haley' ice creams "mmm Peyton says as she takes a mouthful, what did you get?" "Cookies and cream, you want some?" Peyton nods her head and smiles as Lucas takes a spoonful of ice cream and goes to feed it to her when instead he turns the spoon around and it goes into his own mouth "hey" Peyton explains, then Luke pulls her over and captures her lips with his, after a few minutes Nathan is clearing his voice trying to interrupt the two blondes, finally when they pull apart Peyton whispers "so good" and they both start laughing.

"So," Haley says, "that was awkward, anyway we have some news... and well, we're having another baby"

"Oh my god Hales that's amazing" Lucas exclaims as he goes to hug his best friend "nice job Nate" Luke says to his brother

Peyton then goes to embrace Haley then Nathan, "congratulations, how far along are you?" "About four months" Haley replies,

"How did Jamie take the news?" Luke asks

"He is so excited" Nathan says, "he wants a sister though which is pretty surprising, he said he likes to be the oldest and only boy.

"I can imagine that" Luke replies.

After that bit of news the group sits back down to their ice cream, and Lucas doesn't take his hand off of Peyton's for the rest of the night. The group got into easy conversation Haley talking about the tour she went on when she was 16 and teaching high school English, Nathan was telling stories about playing for the Knicks and they were both revealing embarrassing stories of Lucas in high school like during their 'boy toy charity auction' Lucas did a little dance and fell off the stage right on top of the 50 year old overweight librarian, who ended up paying $500 for his company for the evening." Peyton couldn't help but laugh at the dark shade of red Lucas' face went "God, I'm so glad Brooke and Jake had to put Jenny to bed," Peyton says thorough bouts of laughter.

After Lucas' face went back to a normal colour it was getting late, and they decided to call it a night.

They all headed back into the hotel and up the elevator, Nathan and Haley got off on the 5th floor, whilst Lucas and Peyton stayed on till the tenth; Peyton turns around in Lucas' arms and rests her head on his chest, "I had a really good day today, I'm really glad we ran into Brooke and Jake and Nathan and Haley are amazing" Luke places a gentle kiss on her forehead "mmm I can't believe there having another baby, they're amazing parents, and I am so happy for them," Luke says as he leads Peyton towards their room. They change into their pyjamas, Peyton puts Nada Surf CD on softly, and she crawls into bed, into Luke's arms "have you ever thought about children?" Peyton asks "yeah, I have," "well how many?" "five 2 boys, and three girls- 1 set of twins" "ok then, that's sounds like fun" "yeah it does, especially making the babies" Peyton lets out a laugh at that, "what about you Peyt, do you want kids?"

"Well yeah but, I guess I haven't decided how many yet, I'll play it by ear" Peyton says as he nuzzles her neck.

Its day two in Florida and the group meet for breakfast by the pool, "So what's the plan for today? Brooke asks "Because I think the girls should spend the day at the spa, and you guys can go to the beach or something "I like that idea" Haley says, "Yeah, I'm in replies Peyton" "then I guess we're going to the beach" Luke says

"Jen, what do you want to do?" Brooke asks, "I wanna stay with... Daddy" "ok baby, you can stay with the boys" says Brooke.

"Ladies are you ready?" All three girls stand from the table and give their significant others a Kiss before they leave the boys to go to the spa. "So the plan is manis, pedis, massages, and facials" Peyton says as they are in the elevator on their way up. They enter the spa and are offered Champaign and water, Brooke and Peyton go for the Champaign, whilst Haley goes for water- "Hales why aren't you drinking" a confused Brooke asks; Haley then replies "oh, I forgot you and Jake didn't come with us for ice cream, I'm pregnant actually" "Oh my god, what is with these Scott boys and their sperm" Brooke exclaims "WHAT?" Haley shouts with disbelieve written across her face "Peyton are you..." "God no Haley, Brooke just got the idea in her head and she won't listen to me when I tell her it's not possible at the moment, considering it is currently my time of the month. And hopefully we won't have any kids until after the wedding."

"Wait" Haley and Brooke say at the same time "you're going through with the wedding?" Brooke asks

Peyton smiles and nods "yes"- all three girls squeal and form into a group hug then Haley asks, "have you told Luke yet?" "No I haven't, every time I am about to say something he senses it and either changes the subject or distracts me, so I'm starting to think he has gotten his hear broken in the past, Haley?"

"Don't look at me, all I can tell you is that you need to talk to him, it's not my place to tell you what happened."

"So something did happen?" Peyton Asks

That's chapter ten, I'm trying my hand suspense not that it's a big one, but you have to start somewhere, and anyone want to guess what happened with Lucas and a past relationship?
