A/N: This is the final part to this story. Thank you to all who have read this who knows I might come up with a sequel. The kids are still the same age as I left them near the end of chapter 9.
Part 10 ~Samantha Meets Karen~
Ellie, Anna, Jaime and Samantha had all grew up together. Despite the age difference it didn't matter to them especially to Jaime since he was the oldest. He had both his sisters and Samantha's back always. Over the years Peyton had kept in contact with Karen. She told her everything about what happened leaving out certain stuff. Samantha was finally going to meet her grandmother but she wouldn't do if Ellie and Brooke couldn't come with her so Haley gave permission for Ellie to go.
"Samantha sweetie you almost ready?" Brooke asked walking into her daughter's bedroom.
Samantha had her back against the headboard listening to her ipod but turned in down realizing Brooke was standing out at the doorway.
"Sorry what was that I had my music on." Samantha says.
"Just seeing if your ready to go. Your mom just went over to get Ellie."
"Yeah um Brooke what she like?" Samantha asked curiously.
"She is very nice and you also have an aunt that your also going to meet. I'm sorry it took so long but give her a chance."
Samantha smiles. "Alright for you I will and mom of course but um I really am scared." She says.
Brooke knew how scared she was because she herself was scared to see Karen again. Given Karen had told her and Peyton that she didn't hate them. Brooke deep down still felt like it was her fault for what Lucas had become.
Samantha and Ellie were best of friends that shared everything together. Peyton, Brooke and Haley always said there is going to be another 'Peyton and Brooke and them two would be it. Samantha resembled her mother a lot and a little of Lucas Scott because of the way he loved to write and just read and because she was so close to Brooke she had her attitude a lot and just loved to have fun, but she had a big heart as well. Everyone was in the car on the their way to the airport. Peyton and Brooke glance at one another just mentally telling each other it was all going to be okay. Ellie looked a lot like Haley in so many ways but the fact she had an older brother and a twin sister she didn't really care much for basketball but she loved to cheerlead and she did that along with doing some extracurricular activities.
Ellie and Samantha were talking among themselves.
"Ellie just promise you won't ever leave my side when I meet them okay?"
"Samantha I am here through the whole thing you don't have to worry okay I'm sure it will go through fine." she says squeezing her friend's hand.
"I hope so I am just really nervous I mean with what I know and everything I just hope it goes okay."
Ellie smiles. "I know and it will I promise." She says trying to comfort her friend.
Samantha believed Ellie and as Peyton and Brooke watched them they just looked at one another as if they saw each other in the mirror.
"But what if she don't like me…mom I CAN'T do this…do I have to do this?"
Peyton chuckles to herself. "Sweetie we will be right there with you. She is a good person I promise and she will like you." She says trying to keep her daughter calm. "I know this isn't easy for you and believe me she isn't mad at you just lets just do this and if you want to keep in contact with her that's your choice."
"Nobody is telling you what to do Sam just get to know her and she is a part of you." Brooke says helping Peyton helping out.
Samantha knew who her father was and what he had done. She hated him but he was dead from what Peyton has told Brooke after the one on one with him she did all those months ago just after he was released from Prison. Lucas could be trying to find them but there was no sign of him she had shot him twice so all she knew was he could be dead but wasn't sure at all. They finally got to the airport, Ellie held Samantha's hand all the way in there never letting go. Brooke and Peyton were walking hand in hand as they kids followed behind.
"You know that was us at that age." Brooke says with a smile to Peyton. "Lets hope its easier for them to express how they feel than it was for us."
Peyton just smiles she knew exactly what Brooke meant. They hoped no boys would come between the two best friends. Who knows there could be another "Breyton'' in the making, Brooke and Peyton, but nobody can tell for sure. Karen was already there waiting sitting right next to her daughter Lily.
Long awkward silence as they all just looked at one another not really knowing what to actually say. Karen knew which one was Samantha, she had a lot of Peyton's features but her hair was a lot like son's so she knew.
"Karen and Lily I would like to meet our daughter Samantha Elizabeth Davis." Brooke says introducing them all and Karen was surprised to hear that she had Brooke's last name.
Samantha stayed quiet than decided to shake's Karen and Lily's hand. "Nice to meet you both but um don't expect to call you grandma or aunt or anything like that."
"Samantha." Peyton says smacking her daughter on the arm. "Be nice." She whispers.
"We wouldn't want that for you but you got so big and it is very nice to finally meet you." Karen says calmly. "Peyton you have done very well for yourself but I think honestly this was a mistake to come here. Samantha its nothing to do with you but you have a family already and we don't want to ruin that. Brooke I'm really sorry for what happened to you all those years ago but Lily and I we are going to go."
With that they left there was nothing left to say. Samantha looked at the confusion on her parents' faces. Ellie couldn't help but laugh at the whole situation.
"That was weird can we go home now?" Samantha asked than turns to Ellie. "Thank you for being here with me." She says with a smile.
"Always and forever S. Davis."
"Always and forever E. Scott." Samantha says in the same tone as Ellie just did and gives her friend a hug. "I love you."
Peyton and Brooke just watched as if they were watching themselves all those years ago when they were that age.
"Lets go home now I hear that your mother is making some bbq Ellie." Brooke says rubbing her stomach.
"Well at least its better than you cooking." Samantha jokes.
Everyone laughs and they all head out of the airport and back into the vehicle to head back home. Peyton pulls Brooke aside waiting for the kids to get into the car before she says what she needs to say.
"I think I want us to move back to Tree Hill given we raised our family here but I think we all should go back to the place we grew up. Pine Valley isn't our home, Tree Hill I mean you don't have too if you don't want too just that maybe we need to go back there and quit running from our problems." Peyton says.
Brooke agreed as did Nathan and Haley. They all moved back to Tree Hill, North Carolina. Nathan became the coach for the ravens of Tree Hill High and Haley got teaching job at the high school. Nobody was going to run anymore so if Lucas Scott happens to be alive than they will deal with it than. Peyton and Brooke were laying in bed neither one of them could fall asleep.
"Its weird being back here but I'm glad its with you. These last ten years or so have the best years of my life P. Sawyer and I love you with everything I am."
Peyton kisses her wife. " I love you too B. Davis."
As for the kids Jaime will graduate from Tree Hill High in two more years but his sisters and Samantha wouldn't start high school for a little but when they did who knows what could happen. Ellie and Samantha would most likely do cheerleading as for Anna she loved to play basketball so she would probably play that. Life has a funny way of showing itself. A family can consist of many things but friends are the most precious things you can ever have and family is friends. Brooke, Peyton, Haley and Nathan have been through so much within the past ten years or so but they managed to stay together all this time but now there time was just about up and it was their children's time now. Love is strange sometimes but hopefully the same thing doesn't happen for Ellie and Samantha.
The end
A/N: Sorry I'm guessing the ending is really sucky but I needed to end it. I have other stories that I need to write and yes there is quite the possibility there will be a sequel to this story not sure yet. Thank you to all who have read it and I had fun reading it.
