I own nothing … thanks for the reviews and I was going over the last chapter and a lot happened in it…I probably should have broken it in half…should I change it?

When Peyton woke up that morning she had a certain spring in her step. As she walked around the house in a seemingly glorified daze her kids raised an eyebrow.

"You ask her", Keith whispered.

"Why me", Ellie argued.

"Because you're the oldest girl", he pointed out.

"So, you're the oldest, period", she said with a smirk on her face. Mikey and Anna watched the scene unfold with confused expressions; R.J. was too busy making raspberry's to notice anything.

"Momma, what's wrong with you", Anna asked, as the two oldest stared at her in disbelief.

"What do you mean baby", Peyton asked with a small laugh.

"Well Keith and Ellie said that you've been walkin around here in a glorified", before Mikey could finish that sentence Ellie's hand covered his mouth.

Peyton watched with a raised brow as the blood rushed to her teenager's cheeks.

Keith laughed uncomfortably. "What we mean is…ummm…okay we wanna know", he took a deep breath.

"What's with the teeny bopper I-just-met-everyone-from-N'SYNC-look?", at this comment everyone at the table stopped and looked at Ellie, even R.J. stopped fascinating himself with raspberry's, "I have a heart condition, I'm allowed to be honest", Ellie argued.

"Firstly, don't joke about that", Peyton said sternly, "secondly, I have no idea what your all talking about", she said feigning innocence.

"If you say so mom", Mikey said disbelievingly.

Peyton laughed as she turned her back on them and began to do the dishes. She wasn't sure why she didn't want them to know about the date, she knew they would be thrilled. In a way she didn't want to jinx it.

"Oh by the way, Aunt Haley called", she could hear the smirk in Keith's voice, "she said she had no problem keeping an eye on all of us, she even insisted we stay for the entire weekend", he crossed his arms over his chest in triumph. Peyton sighed.

"You wanna tell us the truth now mom", Ellie spoke up.

"Fine, I'm going out with your father tonight", she said in a rushed breath. She watched as all of their faces light up.

"Like a date", Mikey asked.

"Yes", Peyton said as she blushed.

"Well, what are you guys going to do tonight", Keith asked.

"I don't know", Peyton said while shrugging, "he just said to be ready."

"Do you wanna go shopping later", Ellie asked.

"Yea sure, I'll have to tell Haley though because she'll kill me if I don't invite her", Peyton said with a small laugh.

"What time do we have to be out of the house by", Keith asked while smiling.

"He said he'd be here around seven", she said while shrugging.

"Okay, everyone go pack. I'll get stuff together for R.J.", Peyton watched as everyone vanished from the room. Peyton shook her head as the doorbell rang. She opened it expecting to see someone but was instead greeted by a white box.

She opened it to reveal a beautiful pale yellow dress. She smiled as she held it up to her. It was strapless and came up just short of her knees.

"That's gorgeous", Ellie said as she walked down the stairs.

Peyton blushed, "Your father always was a charmer."

"So then we don't need to go shopping today", Ellie said while trying to hide her disappointment.

"No, but how about you hang out with me all day. You can calm my nerves and help me get ready", she said while smiling.

"Okay", Ellie said with a bright face. Soon enough the rest of the Scott clan was heading down the stairs.

"I'll drop R.J. off with grandma, Mikey and Anna with Uncle Nate and Aunt Haley, and I'm going to Ashley's…" he trailed off as he looked at Ellie and then his mother.

"She's staying for the day", Peyton said while putting her arm around her.

"Cool, we'll see you tomorrow", he said while kissing her goodbye, "nice dress by the way", he said as the younger kids said their goodbyes.

"Thanks, I love you guys", she called out, they did the same before closing the door.

"So what now?" Ellie asked.

"Now, we don't talk about me or your father", Ellie eyes her curiously.

"Then what do we talk about", she asked hesitantly.

"You", Peyton said while dragging her into the living room.

And they had. All afternoon actually. They talked about Josh, Peyton smiled when she heard Ellie say that they love each other. They talked about how she wanted to redo her room and so many other things. They only thing Ellie wouldn't open up about was her HCM, hopefully Lucas could get her to.

It was five minutes to seven and Ellie had just left. Peyton was sitting on the couch, in her pale yellow dress, with her hair in a ponytail with a few curls hanging loosely, twirling her wedding rings. The doorbell caused her to jump.

She took a deep breath before she answered.

"Hey you", she blushed as he looked her up and down.

"Wow", he whispered.

"Oh please, you picked it out."

"Right, yea, but still…" he let his sentence hang.

"Thanks", she said while blushing again, "are those for me", she asked as she pointed to the flowers. She was surprised the he had remembered they were her favorite.

Lucas snapped out of his gaze, "Yes, calla lilies", he said as he handed them to her.

"Let me go get a vase", she said as she walked down the hall. Lucas took the time to calm his nerves.

"Ready to go", she asked as she walked to the door.

"Let's go", he said as he took her hand in his.

"Okay before we go anywhere I need you to put this on", he said as he handed her a blindfold.

"No", she said firmly.

"Peyt", he begged with a slight pout.

Peyton sighed, "Fine", she said as she grabbed the blindfold from his hands and put it on.

"I love you", she could hear the smile in his voice.

"You better", she teased.

"Trust me, I do", he said seriously as they drove to the intended destination.

"You know, it's weird talking to you with this thing on", she said as she pursed her lips.

"I know you miss staring at me, but we'll be there soon."

"Even though I can't see you I can still tell you have that stupid smirk on", she said as she smiled.

"You love that smirk", he said as he parked the car.

"Yea I do."

"Don't take that off", he said as he got out of the car and walked over to her side.

"Lucas how do you expect me to–", she was cut short when she felt herself being lifted out of the seat.

"Walk?" he asked as he walked up the stairs, "never. I've got you now babe".

"You certainly do", she said quietly as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Okay, we're here", he announced as he put her down.

"I can take this ridiculous thing off now", she huffed.

"Yup", he said in amusement.

He watched her face light up as she looked around her. The rooftop of the café was decorated romantically. Christmas lights hung all around them. There were a few candles scattered around and rose petals surrounded the perimeter of their dinner table.

"Lucas, this is beautiful", she said in awe of her surroundings.

"Almost as beautiful as you", he said while looking right at her.

"Sweet talker", she teased, although you could hear the adoration in her voice.

Lucas took her hand and walked over to the table. He pulled out her chair and they enjoyed the night together. Before the night was over Lucas got up and walked to the brick wall.

"Okay, so you know how Haley and I used to make predications for the upcoming school year", he said as he sat back next to her.

"Yea", she said with confusion in her voice.

"Well I want to read my predictions to you", he sad as he took the cover off of the old tin box.

"Seventh Grade", he began, "this year I will talk to Peyton Sawyer", he watched as she blushed. They took turns reading his predictions until they came to senior year.

"I will always be there to protect Peyton", she said quietly.

"That was right after the shooting. Nathan and Haley were here and they told me that if I hadn't gone back into the school we would have been at your funeral. That night I came up here and wrote that", he said as he stared into her eyes.

"Peyton and I are going to live happily ever after", she smiled sadly.

"That was right after I proposed", he said quietly.

"So, what's for desert", she asked when she noticed the slight awkwardness between them.

"I was hoping you could take care of that", he said while wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

"Lucas", she said as she playfully hit him.

"Alright, I have one other place to take you", he said as she took his hand and they walked out of the café.

When they came to the Rivercourt Peyton looked at him.

"You know I have been here before", she joked.

"I know, and every time we come here it's because something big is happening or is going to happen in our lives", he said as he put his arm around her waist.

"And what is going to happen tonight", she asked as she turned and put her arms around his neck.

"We're reconciling", he said as he leaned in and lightly pecked her on the lips. When they broke away they both had goofy grins on their faces. It wasn't an intense kiss but it was enough for them.

As they both sat on the blanket in the middle of the court Lucas took something out of the basket.

"This is for you", he said as he handed her a photo album.

"Luke, you don't have to give me things", she watched as he held up his hands.

"Whatever I do, it's because I'm in love with you Peyton", he watched her blush.

She began to flip through the small book. Pictures from every event were in there. The ones from his Peyton box, ones from the summer going into senior year, as well as one of him and her at the Halloween Party at Tric, one of them from Classic Sparkle Competition that Karen insisted they take, one from when they went to Rachel's cabin, graduation, parties, their wedding, vacations they took, countless days and memories of just the two of them filled this small book. As she turned to the last page she noticed what was written.

She read it aloud, "Everyone has a certain part of their lives where they truly wish they could just freeze time. Whether it was three years ago, today, or still to come. Whether it was just a moment, a whole day, or a whole summer. Everyone has a time in their life where they wish everything would just stop. The world would stop turning and people would stop changing, because to them, at that time, everything was perfect", she took a breath to hold back her tears, "these are my moments with you Peyton. I know we've had some bumps in the road, but I truly cannot wait to make more of these memories with you."

"Now I know why you're a writer", she joked as she wiped at her tears.

"I meant every word", he said as he took her hands in his.

"I know", she said as she leaned in and kissed him. He cupped her face to deepen the kiss but she pulled away.

"Sorry, I know you said we were taking things slowly and that–"

Peyton cut him off, "Do you wanna head back to the house", she watched as he grinned.

"Sure", he said as he helped her off of the blanket.

"Just so you know you're not getting lucky", she said as they walked into the house.

"What", he asked as he felt the blood rushing to his cheeks.

"I saw the look in your eyes when I asked you to come back here. I simply wanted to have some coffee and desert", she said while taking a seat on the couch.

"Well, that's not a problem", he said a bit unconvincingly.

"Mhmm", she smirked at him.

"So that coffee", he said hoping to change the topic.

"Oh shoot I left my bag in your car. I'll be right back", she said as she rushed out the door.

Lucas took a few deep breaths. Peyton looked amazing tonight, that dress was amazing, her hair was amazing, and everything about her was amazing.

Back in the car Peyton was searching around for her bag when the low humming sound stopped her. She reached into the cup holder and furrowed her brows when she looked at who was calling Lucas.

"Why the hell are you calling my husband", Peyton asked as her anger boiled over.

"Peyton", Brooke asked sounding shocked.

"Are you two sleeping together again? God, I cannot believe this", she was about to run into the house and give Lucas a piece of her mind when Brooke stopped her.

"Peyton, we're not sleeping together", Brooke defended.

"Oh then why are you calling him at ten o'clock on a Saturday?"

"Because I wanted to know how your date was", she said as she smiled.

"What", Peyton asked slightly embarrassed.

"Lucas called me and told me he was taking you out on a date, he was incredibly nervous. He told me about the café and the predictions, he said he had another surprise, which he refused to tell me about", she said while furrowing her brows.

"Why should I believe you", Peyton asked, refusing to let her guard down.

"Because I'm trying to regain your trust, I wouldn't lie to you", she heard Peyton sigh, "Make sure you save the label of that pale yellow dress you have on when Lucas rips you out of it", she said while smirking.

"Brooke", Peyton said as she turned beat red.

Brooke scoffed, "When did you become such a prude?" she joked.

"Sorry I'm not comfortable talking about this with my husbands former mistress", Peyton heard Brooke sigh.

"So if you helped him with this date, you told him about the calla lilies", Peyton asked, trying to change the topic.

"No, he wanted to get you roses but then I told him to get your favorite flowers, he knew they were calla lilies. Give the man some credit", she said while laughing.

"Okay but your sure you didn't know about the surprise", Peyton asked skeptically.

"No, and I'm dying. You wanna tell me", Brooke asked hesitantly.

Peyton debated it. Brooke had helped out with the date. Peyton bit her lip before continuing.

"Why did he call you? After everything, why would he call you?"

"Because, I know you better then anyone P. Scott."

"It was a scrapbook", Peyton said quietly.

"That's sickeningly cute", this caused Peyton to smile.

"I have to go, Lucas is inside", she said as she watched him nervously fidget with his hands.

"Okay", Brooke said softly.

"Just so you know you're not absolved from anything."

"Good, because I haven't even began to ask for forgiveness yet."

"Night B. Davis", they both smiled at the use of her nickname.

"Night P. Scott."

Peyton looked into the house and sighed. She wasn't going to tell Lucas about talking with Brooke, not tonight anyway. She smiled in spite of herself. She was going to enjoy the moment of being with him.

Lucas looked around the living room. He didn't want to leave him spot on the couch because from where he was sitting he had the perfect view of his wife. He smiled when he saw her bending over the seat, looking for her purse. 'She's always losing something', he said to himself. That smile faded when he saw her talking on the phone, his lips turned into an all out frown when he saw her yelling and about to run into the house before she stopped again. At this he hurried into the kitchen and made a pot of coffee. When he walked back into the living room she was still on the phone. He decided to sit and take whatever verbal bashing she was gong to dish out. He held his breath as she opened the door.

He watched as she walked right over to him and straddled his lap.

"What's going on", he asked curiously.

"I love you", she said while staring into his eyes.

"I love you too", he said while doing the same.

"Tonight was amazing", she whispered as he leaned closer.

"You're amazing", he said as he cupped her face.

Their lips met in a sweet kiss. Before long Lucas tilted her head with his hands to deepen it. Their tongues slowly tangled as Peyton ran her fingers through Lucas's hair. She shifted her hips to get closer to him. He let out a low groan. He rubbed his hands up and down her sides. When they pulled away they were both breathless.

"I love you", he said as he leaned his forehead on hers.

"You already said that", she joked as she began a trail of kisses along his neck, stopping when she reached the hinge of his jaw, right below his ear.

"I mean it. Every time I say it Peyton", he said through hooded eyes, that spot was his absolute weak point. She stopped abruptly and looked at him.

"There's no turning back Luke. Wherever we go tonight, this is it. If you have any doubts or your sick of me just stop now and leave", she said quietly. Lucas smiled.

"I'm not going anywhere", he said as he kissed her again. She took of his sports jacket and continued to kiss his neck. He slowly slid his hands up the bottom of her dress, needed to feel her warm skin.

"Upstairs", Peyton said before she quickly smashed her lips back onto his.

They fumbled up the stairs. Lucas carefully held onto Peyton all the while her legs were wrapped around his waist. Once they reached the bedroom he slowly placed her on her feet. She ran her long fingers down his chest and his ever present bulge before she ran her finger back up. She smiled as he shuddered in anticipation. They both stared intensely as she undid his belt buckle, throwing it across the room, watching as his pants fell to the floor. Lucas unzipped her dress watching as it slowly fell to the floor, revealing that she wasn't wearing a bra. He took a moment to drink in everything about her. She blushed.

"God, you're beautiful", he said right before he kissed her again. She hooked her fingers around the rim of his boxers, watching as he closed his eyes and leaned his head back. In one swift motion they fell to the floor in heap taking his socks with them as he stepped out of them. He picked her up and she quickly wrapped her long legs back around his waist. The slowly fell onto the bed and he began a trail of kisses from her lips, down across her collar bone, to in between the cleavage of her breasts all the way down in between her thighs. She arched her back so that he could remove the article of clothing separating them. He brought his face back up to hers and they kissed deeply as he brought his hand up and slowly massaged her breast.

"Lucas", she moaned into his mouth. She shifted her hips and could feel his hardness; he was just as ready as she was.

"Lucas", she said more seriously.

"Hmm", he mumbled as he slowly kissed her pulse point. She cupped his face as she spoke.

"Make love to me", she said with love in her eyes. This confirmed any reassurance he might have needed. He entwined their hands above her head as he positioned himself. Right before he entered he hesitated, she squeezed his hand reassuringly.

"I love you", she said while gazing into his eyes.

"I love you too", he said meaning it more then ever.

He entered her slowly, they both stayed joined like that for a moment; this was the first time in months either of them had done this. Once they were used to the feeling of the other, they began a slow and steady movement. They made love slowly and passionately. Each whispering the others name and leaving sweet lingering kisses along each others body. As their heartbeats increased so did their movements. The closer they got the faster they moved. With the last thrust they yelled the others name. As he rolled off of her he took her in his arms.

"That was the best desert I've ever had" he joked in between breaths.

She leaned up and kissed him. "You want seconds", she said seductively.

Lucas and Peyton spent the rest of the night making love. Making up for the lost months. Making up for the broken hearts. Making up for all the things they've missed.

Okay…I hope I did it justice...let me know lol
