"Hey Peyton its Haley, I have a huge favour to ask of you."

"Hey Hales shoot."

"You know Lucas, Nathan, Skillz and I are all at school because it's 'Parent-Teacher Night'. Brooke has a meeting so can't look after Jamie and Mouth has to work and Deb is well, to be honest I haven't got a clue what Deb is doing but she can't look after Jamie either so will you do it please, we'll be three hours tops you can use our house, fridge, phone for long distance calls whatever. I know you've just got back from honeymoon and are really busy but I would be so grateful," Haley rambled quickly.

"Haley…breathe," Peyton joked, "I'm in my office all day so bring Jamie along whenever. It'll be fun, I love that kid."

"Peyton Sawyer, Scott sorry, I love you!" Haley shouted excitedly with relief evident in her voice.

"Haley I'm spoken for," Peyton said making the two giggle. "Anyway, I'll have to get this work done before Jamie comes so I'll see you later?"

"Actually it's probably going to be Nathan who drops Jamie off so I'll see you when I see you?"

"Ok see you when I see you," Peyton said as she closed her phone to hang up. She smiled, she loved hanging out with Jamie, she was also partial to an excuse not to work. Just as she did this her phone rang again.

"Hello this is Peyton Saw Scott, who are you and wad-do-you-want?" Peyton spoke into her phone. The smile on her face only grew when she heard who was on the other end.

"That whole changing name thing is really annoying isn't it?" Lucas joked to his wife.

"Tell me about it," Peyton laughed, "So to what do I owe this pleasure?"

"Well, I've got this 'Parent-Teacher' thing so we can't have dinner together so I thought maybe we could have a late lunch slash afternoon tea and cake instead, if you meet me about half two?"

"Slash afternoon tea and cake? That sounds like fun but there is one catch."

"What have you gone off me already?"

"No one could go off even you in month. No, I've just told Haley I'll watch Jamie and Nathan is going to drop him round any time soon."

"That's cool how 'bout I come to you then? The three of us could go out and eat together?" Lucas compromised he was pleased that his wife and nephew/god-son got a long so well.

"Sounds great, I'll see you soon."

"Yeah, I'll see you later."

"Hey Luc, you're really starting grow on me you know."

"You too, it's kinda handy seeing as we're married. Bye Peyton," Lucas said before hanging up. He looked around his office and sighed as he looked at his watch. It was going to be a long night especially with only random parents to keep him company. He really did not get the point of these 'Parent-Teacher Nights', there were only two things for him to tell the parents: Your kid can play ball. Your kid can't play ball. The point was, he concluded, that there was no point.

Lucas looked at the picture of him and Peyton on their wedding day that he had on his desk. He smiled as he realised that he had put it in the same place Whitey had had his picture of Camilla. Peyton was his Camilla, Peyton was his life, love and inspiration and Peyton was his comet.

Peyton looked at the picture of her and Lucas on their wedding day that she had on her desk. She smiled as she thought of that day. The ceremony hadn't been overly extravagant but it had been special just as Lucas and she had agreed it should be. All of their families and friends had been there. Peyton's father Larry had given her away though John had been present. The whole day had been perfect as she wore her mother Anna's veil and walked into the holy matrimony that was now her and Lucas.

Knock knock

Peyton was brought out of her daydream in time to see Nathan walk through her office door and Jamie run. She smiled as she hummed the tune of her and Lucas' first dance song, One Day Like This by Elbow.

"Hey, I believe you ordered psycho child," Nathan joked smiling at Peyton's smile, he liked to see her happy.

"Aunt Peyton! Can we go for a ride in your car please?" Jamie loudly as Peyton grabbed him in mid run and swung him onto her slender hip.

"James Lucas Scott! Sure, we'll go as soon as your Uncle Lucas gets here, he's treating us to food," Peyton said completely absorbed in the beautiful blondie brown boy in her arms. She did even register Nathan's presence until he asked, "So, are you and Luc doing good then?"

"Oh yeah, we're doing really great, we're both really happy," Peyton looked at Nathan still smiling brightly. Even in the middle of a dark February Peyton's smile could still light up a room. "How about you and Haley? You know, seeing as you're Tree Hill's fairytale couple."

"That's one way of putting it I guess. We are both doing really well, I think she might come back to the studio soon and I am back on the court, sort of and we are both happy too."

"That's great Nate and I'm really sorry to do this but Jamie and I have some fun to be had so we're going to have to ask you to leave."

"What?! Can't I be fun?" Nathan asked in shock horror. Peyton and Jamie both looked at each other before looking back at Nathan and replying "No" in unison.

"Well if you guys are going to gang up I guess I'll have to leave. Peyton, Haley'll come get him around eight from your house?"

"Ok, cool, see you later Nate."

"Bye Dad," Jamie said as jumped down from Peyton's waist to give his dad a quick hug. The two separated quickly and both went their separate ways: Nathan to the door and Jamie to Peyton. Once he reached Peyton, Jamie immediately pulled her to the snooker table where they could both sit and Jamie could question Peyton about the goings on of Tree Hill High 'back-in-the-day'. Jamie always chose Peyton to ask as everybody else only really gave him half answers to be honest so did she but always in a way that he never realised. They had just passed Peyton and Nathan's break-up and Haley and Nathan getting together and were about to move on to the sticky details of the 'Triangle'.

"Come on, Aunt Peyton, what happened with Aunt Brooke, you and Uncle Lucas?" Jamie asked eagerly and innocently. He obviously did not realise the can of worms that was about to be opened. Peyton was about to begin but was saved by the appearance of Lucas. "I'll tell you later," she muttered quietly to Jamie before jumping down from the table and welcoming her husband with a kiss which earned them both a look of distain from Jamie. Making the two adults laugh.

"Where do you want to eat then J-Luc?" Lucas asked lifting his nephew down from his perch.

"Erm, I don't mind, though I do know one place that does really good ice cream," Jamie said with a hopeful gleam in his eye.

"Jamie its winter is it not to cold to be eating cold food?" Lucas asked.

"No, not when the cold food is tasty like ice cream," Jamie replied simply.

"Yeah, Lucas," Peyton added as she handed Jamie his coat and put on her own.

"Ok, how about we get some proper food like chips? Then, we go and get you goofs some ice cream?" Lucas compromised.

"That sounds like a plan but I don't feel like ice cream I was just agreeing with Jamie," Peyton said simply with a crooked smile.

"Oh so that's how it is?" Lucas asked.

"Of course it is," Jamie answered making the two adults laugh lightly, "By the way Uncle Lucas we're going in Aunt Peyton's car because I like it better."

"That's me told," Lucas smiled as he slipped his arm around Peyton's waist and Jamie preceded them to the door.

At the eventually chosen restaurant, the three enjoyed their well-made meals. They each picked up on the fact that Karen's food was better but this was edible at least. The conversation was definitely better than the food as the three interacted not unlike a young family would. This was something that the two serving waitress' commented on. Lucas had then had to leave to make it to the school on time so rather than have desert their Peyton and Jamie had decided to have it back at Peyton's house instead. They had both curled up on the cream suede couch and had wrapped a blanket around themselves before the inquisition began.

"So, Uncle Lucas dated you and Aunt Brooke at the same time?!" Jamie exclaimed in realisation.

"Sort of, except that your Uncle Lucas and I kind of dated in secret so no-one knew they all thought that he was only dating Aunt Brooke," Peyton explained carefully, "Naturally when Aunt Brooke found out she was very upset and we fell out for a while but after I apologised a lot we became friends again," Peyton finished. She had decided to leave out the whole Nikki fiasco, Jamie did not need to know everything.

"And you never did again? That's how you and Aunt Brooke are friends now?" Jamie checked as a light bulb appeared to flash on inside his head.

Ring ring

"Something like that, I'll explain better next time," Peyton said calling for her visitor to come in. Her head turned in the direction of the living room door in time to see Haley enter through. People sure had perfect timing.
