Chapter 24

"Do we really need all of this stuff?" Lucas holds up ribbons and bows that Rachel had given him.

"Yes" Rachel says handing him more stuff

"Seriously" Peyton says "It's just Christmas!"

"Just Christmas?" Brooke snaps "Just Christmas! It's only the best holiday of the year!"

Peyton laughs "Ok, calm down" she says kissing Brooke lightly on the forehead

"How come Sawyer got to stay home and I had to come shopping?" Lucas whines

Rachel turns and looks at him "because he's little and would get ran over and you're a strong burly man so we need you to carry things!"

"You're awful whiny today" Peyton says looking at him

"I just hate shopping!" he whines

"Oh, I know" Peyton says with a pouty look on her face "But you're going to have to suck it up because we're just getting started"

"Ug!" he whines again

Rachel and Brooke laugh at him and they all continue through the store. Peyton and Brooke pick out things together and talk and laugh while looking at stuff. Rachel is holding stuff up to Lucas and he's just shaking his head in agreement because he really doesn't care.

"Lucas" She finally says looking at him "Don't you care what I'm buying? It's for your apartment"

"I have no idea what I'm doing" he says "Whatever you say is good with me"

"Ok" Rachel shrugs and continues to walk through the store

Peyton looks at them and smiles. "He really likes her" she says

"She likes him too" Brooke says holding up a plate "Do you like this Christmas pattern?"

Peyton looks at the plate. There was a full evergreen tree impeccably decorated with baubles and tinsel, with gifts placed underneath and a heartwarming Santa tree topper.

"I think they're perfect" She says smiling at Brooke

Brooke smiles at her "We need place settings for 12 and then all the other stuff"

"Ok" Peyton says "We can have them sent to the house"

"Perfect" Brooke says "What else do we need?"

"Well we have tinsel, and baubles, and lights, and a theme and decorations for the mantel, and the kitchen and then bathroom. All of it will be delivered tomorrow so is there anything else we need?"

Brooke laughs a little "Are you saying we've done a ton of shopping today"

"Don't get me wrong, Brooke, I love shopping and I love spending time with you but we've been her most of the day and we've bought almost everything in the store."

Rachel and Lucas come walking over to the two women.

"We're done!" Lucas says "And I'm taking Rachel out to dinner"

"That sounds fun" Peyton says "Did you have everything shipped to your house?"

"Yes" Rachel says "They will deliver it tomorrow"

"that's the way to go" Peyton says "Could you imagine hauling all the stuff we bought today back to our places?"

"Um, no" Lucas says "Well we have to take off. We have to go change for dinner. Are you two coming over to help us decorate tomorrow?"

"We'll see" Peyton says "Brooke wants to get our place done too so it will depend on how much time that takes"

"Sounds good" Lucas says "See you tomorrow at some point" he adds hugging Peyton then Brooke

"Bye you guys" Rachel says following Lucas' lead

"Have fun" Brooke says as the two walk away

Peyton looks at Brooke with the sexiest little face "Baby" she says batting her eyes at Brooke "How about we go out tonight for a romantic dinner?"

Brooke smiles at her "I have a better idea" she says smiling "How about I take you home and make you a romantic dinner?"

Peyton smiles "I'd like that" she says "You know Sawyer is sleeping over at Jimmy's tonight"

"I know" Brooke says

"Then what are we waiting for?" Peyton asks looking around Macy's to make sure no one was around "I might have bought something today that isn't being shipped tomorrow but is in my bag right now"

"Oh really?" Brooke asks

"Really"

"Then why don't you head home and I'll stop at the market and I'll see you in a little while" Brooke says leaning in and kissing Peyton hard on the mouth while running her fingers softly up Peyton's arm

"Oh baby" Peyton moans into Brooke's ear

Brooke smiles "Head home and I'll see you in a little bit"

"Ok" Peyton says as the two walk towards the door and out of the store. In front of the store Peyton grabs Brooke's arm and Brooke turns to look at her "I love you" Peyton says softly

"I love you too" Brooke says walking over to her and kissing her

"See you at home" Peyton says heading in one direction and Brooke heads in the other.

There was a perfect Italian shop just up the street so Brooke thought she'd walk up there and get some sauce and make something Italian. She walks with a smile on her face. She was so in love and she couldn't wait to spend the holidays with a real family… Hopefully the family that will someday be hers. She walks into the shop and starts looking around. She wanted the perfect sauce for her perfect girlfriend.

"Well, well, well if it isn't Brooke Davis"

Brooke turns around and sighs. She starts to walk away but a hand catches her arm.

"You're seriously just going to walk away from me?" the woman says

Brooke sighs and looks at the woman "Listen Emma. I don't have time for this"

"Well you better make time" she says "After you let your snotty friends treat me like shit the other night"

"Actually it was Rachel who wasn't very nice and she has her own opinion of you. What do you want, Emma? Why can't you just leave me alone? You haven't been around forever and now that I'm happy and moving on you suddenly want me back?"

"You know I've been trying to get you back all along!" Emma says "We were good together, Brooke" she adds

"No we weren't and you're the one that walked away from me"

"And that was a mistake" Emma says "I miss you… I miss us"

"Well I don't" Brooke snaps "And I'd like you to leave me alone!"

"This is a public place, Brooke! I have just as much right to be here as you do"

"True" Brooke says "But you didn't need to talk to me now did you?"

"I guess not" Emma says "But I wanted to talk to you. I want us to try to work things out!"

"It's never going to happen!" Brooke snaps "I'm in love with Peyton. She makes me feel something I've never felt before and I love Sawyer. Peyton is who I want not you… so please just stop!"

"You don't mean that!" Emma says

"Yes, I do" Brooke says "Stay away! Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get things for dinner" she adds pulling her arm out of the grasp of Emma.

Emma just stands there looking at Brooke as she walks away. Brooke was furious and she collected her items quickly and got out of there. She just wanted to get home to Peyton and spend a wonderful night together. She reaches the penthouse door and sighs. She didn't want to lie to Peyton or not tell her that she saw Emma but she also didn't want to ruin their romantic night either. She opens the door and is greeted by the most beautiful sight. The lights in the house are dimmed and there are candles everywhere. Soft music is playing. She smiles and walks towards the living room. In the living room Peyton was lying on the couch in her robe.

"Hey baby" she says as she sits up "I've been waiting for you"

Brooke walks over and kneels down next to her kissing her softly on the lips. "Sorry I took so long"

"It's ok" Peyton says "I took a bubble bath and was just waiting for you to come home"

Brooke smiles "You look very relaxed and beautiful"

"Thank you" Peyton says smiling "What's for dinner?"

"Italian" Brooke says with a sigh and her face drops

"What's the matter?" Peyton asks noticing the change

"I have to tell you something…"

Brooke's words worried Peyton "Ok" she says softly

"I went to the Italian shop up the road from Macy's to get the sauce and other things for dinner"

"I love that shop" Peyton says "What's wrong with that?"

"I ran into someone there"

"Ok" Peyton says confused

"It was Emma" Brooke says

"Ok" Peyton says "What's wrong with that?"

"She's everywhere!" Brooke says sighing "I haven't seen her in forever and now that I'm happy with you she's everywhere!"

"So what" Peyton says grabbing Brooke's face so she's looking at her "She's going to try to break us up and we just have to be strong"

Brooke looks at Peyton funny "Who are you and what did you do with my girlfriend?"

Peyton laughs a little "I just realized that I don't want to lose you and I'm not going to let your ex drive a wedge between us. As long as I know you love me and want to be with me then I don't care what she tries to do to break us up! We won't let her!"

Brooke smiles at Peyton and kisses her again "I do love you!"

"I love you too" Peyton says "I also love your cooking…"

Brooke laughs "I can take a hint! I'll go start dinner"

"Would you like me to help?"

"Sure" Brooke says "You can make the salad if you'd like"

"Ok" Peyton says getting up off the couch "I'll pour us some wine and be right in"

"Perfect" Brooke says looking Peyton up and down. She wanted to know what was under that very short robe!

Brooke walks into the kitchen and puts her items on the counter. Peyton walks in and hands her a glass of wine and sits on the barstool across from Brooke. She smiles at her. Brooke notices that Peyton is being very sexy and flirty tonight.

"Let me help with something more than just the salad, baby" Peyton says taking a sip of her wine

Brooke looks at all the things in front of her and sighs "You can make the garlic bread"

"Ok" Peyton says smiling. She just wants to help Brooke and be with Brooke. She never felt this in love before and she just wanted to spend every second she could with her. "What do I need to do?"

Brooke hands her a loaf of French bread, softened butter, smashed and minced garlic, chopped parsley and a block of Parmesan cheese. Peyton looks at her shakes her head.

Brooke laughs a little "You don't know what to do, do you?"

"Um…"

"Ok" Brooke says smiling "It's really easy."

"Do you have time to show me?" Peyton says

"Depends on how hungry you are"

"I'm good" Peyton says

"Ok" Brooke says walking over standing behind Peyton wrapping her arms around her. "First" she whispers into Peyton's ear "You have to but the bread in half lengthwise"

Peyton picks up the knife and Brooke wraps her hand around Peyton's. Then Peyton holds the bread and Brooke also puts her hand on top of hers. Brooke lightly pushes her body into Peyton's. She rubs against her before they start to cut the bread. The two women cut the bread and Peyton rubs her back against Brooke.

"I think I want you to teach me how to cook lots of dishes" Peyton says turning and grabbing Brooke's lips with hers.

"I'll teach you anything you want" Brooke says

"What's next?" Peyton asks

"We have to mix everything but the cheese together"

"Will you help me?" Peyton says smiling

"Of course"

Again the two women rub and press against each other sexily and romantically as they mix the garlic butter together. All Brooke can smell is Peyton's sweet scent and she can feel herself getting turned on by the act the two are engaged in. Brooke sweetly kisses Peyton's neck and shivers run through Peyton's body. Peyton turns around and faces Brooke. She kisses her passionately. Peyton wanted to show Brooke that she wasn't a meek and mild woman. She kisses Brooke hard on the mouth. She then wraps her arms around Brooke and rubs them up and down her back.

"What are you doing?" Brooke asks in a soft voice

"I'm thinking about taking you on that table right there" Peyton answers

"What?" Brooke says "We're making dinner"

"I was thinking about having dessert first"

"Oh really?" Brooke asks

Peyton just kisses her again. Brooke moans into the kiss and when she opens her mouth Peyton slips her tongue in. She runs her tongue back and forth against the roof of Brooke's mouth. Brooke moans again and can feel the moisture between her legs. Peyton reaches up and lifts Brooke's shirt over her head. Brooke is now standing there topless and Peyton smiles.

"You're so beautiful" She whispers and she softly kisses down Brooke's neck and to the top of her breasts. "I want you"

"I'm all yours" Brooke says reaching up and unhooking her bra

Peyton smiles when Brooke's breasts are exposed. She leans down and takes one in her hand. She runs her finger over Brooke's nipple and it starts to harder. Brooke breathes deeply and Peyton smiles. She moves her other hand to Brooke's other breast and started to circle that nipple making it hard. It feel so good to Brooke and she was getting very wet.

"Peyton we need to make dinner" Brooke moans slowly

Peyton ignores Brooke's comment and starts kissing her slowly down her jawline to her neck, sucking oh so softly on her neck for just a second, and then kisses down to Brooke's breast. Here she slowly licks around her nipple not touching it with her tongue. After doing this a few times she takes the breast into her mouth and suckles it. Brooke moans and Peyton smiles. She then squeezes Brooke's breast while licking the nipple in all different directions and nibbling on it slightly.

"Oh Peyt" Brooke moans

Peyton slowly backs Brooke against the kitchen table and lifts her so she is sitting on it.

"What are you doing?" Brooke asks

"You" Peyton says with a devilish grin on her face

Peyton smiles and unbuttons Brooke's pants. Brooke lifts her hips and bottom so Peyton could slip her pants off. Peyton moves Brooke's panties to the side and runs her finger back and forth just to feel if she's wet.

"Wow, baby, you're wet"

"I know you do that to me" Brooke says

Peyton lightly pushes Brooke down so she's laying on the kitchen table. Peyton takes Brooke's feet and rests them on the table so she has a better view of her lady business.

"Touch me!" Brooke moans "Please baby touch me"

Peyton sits in one of the chairs and pulls Brooke closer. She then gently pulls Brooke's lady lips apart to expose her. She lean leans down and licks her softly. Brooke shivers because it feels good. Peyton then licks Brooke's clit slowly making Brooke moan. Peyton does this a few more time before she starts licking and sucking on Brooke's clit in a rhyme. Brooke moans and plays with her breasts to enhance her pleasure. Soon she grabs Peyton's hair and pushes her face into her pussy even more. She slowly starts riding Peyton's face and Peyton can feel her getting wetter. Peyton insert two fingers while continuing to lick Brooke's clit. As she feels Brooke relax she inserts two more fingers. The pressure was intense.

"Peyton, what are you doing?"

"Is it too much?" Peyton asks

"No, honey, it feels great!"

"Do you want me to stop?"

"Please no!"

Peyton goes back to licking Brooke's clit and then clutches her hand into a fist.

"I want to get it all inside of you. Take a deep breath"

Brooke does what she's told and Peyton slowly pushes her fist inside of her. Peyton feels her hand slide past Brooke's pubic bone and enter her.

"Peyton!" Brooke moans

"I can back out"

"No baby" Brooke moans "Fuck me!"

Peyton smiles and she does what she's told. She slowly moves in and out and moves her wrist back and forth.

"Oh my god!" Brooke screams "That feels so amazing.

Peyton just keeps fisting Brooke and Brooke starts to move to the rhyme of Peyton's fist.

"Oh…" Brooke moans

Peyton quickens a little and so does Brooke.

"Oh faster baby faster" Brooke moans

Peyton continues to move her fist around in Brooke and licking her clit.

"OH MY GOD!" Brooke screams and she squirts all over and she shakes in pleasure. Soon she relaxes her clinched female parts and takes a deep breath.

"I have to pull my fist out" Peyton says lightly "Just breath"

Brooke does what she's told and Peyton removes her fist and stands to look at Brooke. Brooke is still shaking and breathing very heavily. She can't move.

"Where the hell did you learn that?" Brooke asks

"The internet" Peyton says "I did a little research while you were gone"

"That was amazing!"

Peyton smiles

"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself"

"I'm going to need a few minutes before I can reciprocate"

"That's not what this was about" Peyton says

"I wanted to bring you as much pleasure as you've brought me"

"I'm sure I haven't made you that happy!" Brooke says smiling

"Oh, but you have!" Peyton says "Why don't you go slip into your jammies and I'll order a pizza and we'll spend the rest of the night in bed watching movies and eating pizza"

Brooke smiles as she sits up "I'm not sure I can move"

"Want some help?"

"Please" Brooke says

Peyton helps Brooke to the bedroom and turns to walk away but before she can Brooke grabs her.

"What are you doing?" Peyton asks

"The pizza can wait!" Brooke says "I didn't get my dessert"

Peyton smiles and Brooke pushes her down on the bed. She crawls up on top of her. Brooke kisses and touches Peyton in all the right spots. Peyton was already aroused by Brooke's reaction to the fisting that it didn't take Brooke very long to please her. She licked her clit and come hithered her g-spot for a few minutes and before she knew it Peyton was tightening around Brooke's fingers and moaning in pleasure. Peyton collapses on the bed.

"I'm sorry" Brooke says

"For what?"

"That wasn't that great"

"I was pretty much there by you so it didn't take that much and I'm satisfied baby!" Peyton says "You always take care of me first and it's always wonderful! I wanted to give you the fresh hot sex tonight."

"That you did" Brooke says kissing Peyton

Peyton's stomach grumbles "Are you ready for some pizza now?"

"I'm starving!" Brooke says "I had a romantic dinner planned"

"I know" Peyton says "But I couldn't resist you anymore!"

"I'm glad you couldn't!"

"Pizza?"

"Sounds good" Brooke says

Peyton grabs the phone on the bedside table and stares dialing while Brooke gets up and goes into the closet. She returns with two pair of fuzzy pajamas and hands one to Peyton. Peyton orders the pizza and they both slip into their comfy duds. Peyton climbs under the covers and so does Brooke. Peyton lays on Brooke's chest and sighs.

"I was thinking about Sawyer's Christmas presents" she says softly

"What are you going to get him?"

"I thought we'd decide that together" Peyton says looking up at Brooke

"Really?" Brooke asks

"is that too much…"

"No!" Brooke says kissing her forehead "I'd love to help you get his presents"

""Then we can go shopping one day once my parents get here and can watch him"

"That's would be fun" Brooke says "Too bad Santa can't bring him what he wants"

Peyton's head snaps up and Brooke sees the funny look on her face.

"Ok nevermind"

"No, no" Peyton says "He told us he wants a baby brother"

"I know" Brooke says

"One that's growing in your stomach!"

"I know that as well"

"Brooke"

Just then the door bell rings

"Pizza" Brooke says

"I'll go" Peyton says getting out of bed.

She walks out of the room and to the door to get the pizza. She returns in a few minutes with a bottle of wine, pizza and napkins. Brooke was on her cell phone.

"Ok" She says "No, no. "I'm glad you called us. He hasn't stayed the night many places so he's probably just a little scared. It's no big deal. We'll be over to get him in a few minutes. Ok, ok. Thanks. Good bye"

Brooke ends her cell phone call and looks at Peyton.

"What's wrong?" Peyton asks

"That was Jimmy's mom. Sawyer is crying and he'd like to come home"

"Oh no" Peyton says "You told her we'd be over to get him right?"

"Sure did" Brooke says getting out of bed.

Peyton walks into the closet and grabs two zip up sweatshirts throwing one Brooke. The two quickly exit the penthouse and make it down to the lobby and to the street where Brooke hails a cab. The cab ride is quick and it stops in front of a townhouse.

"Will you wait, please?" Peyton asks the cab driver

"Sure" he says and Peyton and Brooke get out of the cab.

Both women rush up to the door and Peyton knocks on it. Jimmy's mother opens it holding Sawyer.

"I'm sooo sorry" Peyton says

"It's no problem" Jimmy's mother, Kathy, say smiling "Jimmy has done this a bunch of times. That's why I started inviting his friends here so I didn't have to go out in the middle of the night"

Peyton laughs and looks at Sawyer "Hi buddy" She says softly

"I want to go home, momma" Sawyer says with tears in his eyes

"Ok, buddy" she answers "We just need to get your stuff"

"I have it right here" Kathy says "We packed it all up while we were waiting for you guys"

"Thank you so much" Peyton says

Brooke reaches out and grabs Sawyer's stuff.

"We can try it again" Kathy says

"Ok, thanks"

Kathy hands Sawyer to Peyton. Peyton, Brooke and Sawyer head back to the cab. They get in and Peyton sighs.

"What happen, Sawyer?" Peyton asks "You were so excited to stay at Jimmy's house"

"I know momma" Sawyer says "But I got scared"

Brooke looks at him "what were you scared of buddy" She says rubbing his head

"It was dark in Jimmy's room and I didn't have my pillow and blankie and…"

"It's ok" Brooke says "We missed you anyway so we're glad you wanted to come home"

Peyton smiles at her because she was so wonderful.

"In fact" Brooke says "We had just ordered a pizza and was going to eat it in bed and watch a movie!"

Sawyer smiles "Can I eat pizza and watch the movie too?"

"I think just this one time that would be ok" Peyton says

The cab pulls up in front of their building and Peyton paid the cab driver. They then family heads into the building and to their penthouse. Sawyer walks down and crawls into Peyton and Brooke's bed. Peyton grabs Brooke's arm before she gets too far away.

"Everything ok?" Brooke asks

"I just was wondering…"

"Momma. Brooke" Sawyer calls from their bedroom

Peyton sighs "I guess we can talk about it tomorrow"

"Um… ok" Brooke says "We're ok, right?"

"Yeah, we're great" Peyton says "I'm going to go grab some juice, napkins, and the pizza. I'll be right in"

"Sounds good" Brooke says kissing her softly.

Brooke walks into her bedroom where Sawyer was snuggled in the middle of the bed.

"We're you're pillow and blankie?" Brooke asks

"In my bed"

"Would you like me to get it for you?"

Sawyer smiles and Brooke walks out. Return a minute later with Sawyer's things. She then climbs onto her side of the bed and settles in. Sawyer sighs and Brooke looks at him.

"You ok, buddy?" She asks

"Yeah" he replies with a small frown on his face

"If something wasn't ok you could tell me, you know that right?"

Sawyer sighs again and climbs onto Brooke's lap "Remember my Christmas wish?"

Brooke smiles "Yes" she answers "Why?"

"I was thinking that I might want something else too"

"Ok" Brooke says smiling "What would you like sweetheart?"

"If you have my baby brother then you'll be his momma right?"

"Right" Brooke says "If I have a baby I'll be the baby's momma."

Sawyer sighs "But that won't make you my momma"

"You have a momma" Brooke says

"I know but I want you to be my momma too"

"Oh you do, huh?"

"Yes" Sawyer says "And I asked Jimmy's mom how to make you my momma too"

"Oh you did, did you?"

"Yes, and she said that you and momma would have to get united"

Brooke laughed a little

"But I didn't know what united means so I had to ask and she said it was like you'd get married"

"True"

"So" Sawyer says "I want you to united my momma"

Peyton walks in just as Sawyer says that.

"What in the world are you talking about?" She says with a shocked look on her face

Sawyer sighs "I was telling Brooke that I want her to unite with you"

Peyton looks a little concerned "What does that mean?"

"Get married" Sawyer says rolling his eyes at her

"I thought about it and if Brooke has my brother she'll be his momma but she still won't be my momma and I want her to be my momma too"

Peyton rolls her eyes "Sawyer" she sighs "It doesn't matter if Brooke is your momma or not! She still loves you the same and Brooke and I are not going to get married right now. You can't ask us to get married honey. I have to ask Brooke or she has to ask me!"

Sawyer looks at Brooke "Will you ask momma?"

Brooke smiles at him "Someday" she says and Peyton's face flushes. She couldn't believe that Brooke just said that. Brooke smiles at Peyton "Now" she says "Let's eat that pizza and watch a movie because it's very late and I'm getting tired!"

"Ok" Sawyer sighs

Peyton walks over and climbs into bed with Sawyer and Brooke. Brooke starts the movie. Of course she had put in Cars, Sawyer's favorite. Peyton dishes out pizza and hands everyone a juice. After they all eat a little Sawyer snuggles into Brooke who moves closer to Peyton. It was the cutest sight. They were the cutest family.

Peyton couldn't really focus on the movie because her head was spinning because of two things Brooke had said tonight. First, she said she wanted to have a baby and second she said that she wanted to marry her someday. She wanted to talk more about this with Brooke but then again she thought she should just see where it leads and let Brooke make her own decisions.

Brooke looks over at Peyton and knows that she's made two very big declarations tonight to Peyton. She hoped Peyton heard what she was saying. She wanted this. She wanted this life and more than anything she wanted to give Sawyer a brother or a sister to add to this family she so much was hoping would one day be hers.
