Tree Hill, North Carolina August 18, 2007

It was a warm, sunny August day. The wind was barely blowing and the sky was blue with not a cloud in sight. On this paticular August day Peyton Sawyer and Lucas Scott could be seen exiting the hospital with a blue and beige Graco SnugRide Infant Carseat carrying their new born son in his yellow onesie that featured an elephant on the front. The couple's close friends all followed behind carrying odds and ends that were brought to the hospital. The carseat was carefully placed in the back seat and Peyton was helped into the back of the car to sit with her son on the way home. Lucas got behind the wheel while Karen climbed into the passenger seat.

Once Lucas and Peyton arrived home, Lucas helped Peyton out of the car. Together they walked around to the other side of the car and unbuckled the carseat. Peyton carried it up the front steps to their home as Lucas and Karen followed behind. Once inside the house Peyton went to the nursery, where she set down the carseat and began to unbuckle Aiden. She carefully lifted him from the seat and set him down in his crib. She did a quick check to make sure there was nothing her could grab and put over his face. Then she turned on the baby monitor, grabbed the receiver, and exited the room.

"You tired yet Mama?" Lucas asked as he wrapped his arms around Peyton.

"A little, I'm mostly sore though." Peyton replied as she leaned into Lucas.

"Well the doctor said you should sleep whenever he is sleeping. Maybe you should shower and then try and nap." Lucas suggested.

"That's not a bad idea. You'll be okay with him?" Peyton asked before handing over the receiver.

"Of course. Let me know if you need any help."

Later that afternoon after Peyton had showered and napped, she sat in the living room with Lucas, Karen, Brooke, Sam, and Riley. She was currently nursing Aiden while having a discussion about having sibilings.

"I can tell you one thing, Lucas and I won't be having another baby for a while." Peyton said.

"Oh come on. I bet Aiden already wants a sibiling." Brooke said.

"Yeah that's easy for you to say. Sam already has a sibiling." Peyton pointed out.

"Sam might have another sibiling soon." Brooke replied looking at Sam.

"Brooke, honey are you pregnant?" Karen asked.

"No definately not, but the adoption agency did call me the other day and they have a little boy that's around two weeks old. They want to know if Julian and I want him. We have until the day after tomorrow to decide." Brooke said nervously.

"Well why haven't you given them an answer?" Sam asked while everyone looked at her.

"Julian and I wanted to talk to you about it first. Riley is only six months and getting another baby when she isn't a year old is a lot to handle. When we get him he'll only be like three weeks old."

"I can't believe you didn't tell them yes right away. All we ever talk about is being a family and having lots of kids running around. In order to do that you have to give birth to them or adopt them. I think you should go call the adoption agency right now!" Sam said.

"What do you guys think?" Brooke asked looking at everyone else.

"Are you sure you can handle all that Brooke?" Lucas asked

"I don't see why not. I have the fall line designed and the spring line for next year all done. I'm going to have a bunch of free time coming up and there's something else..." Brooke said trailing off.

"Well what is it?" Peyton asked while trying not to disturb Aiden.

"Julian and I are thinking about moving to Tree Hill. We were going to take the company and make home base here and keep the office that's open in New York open. I was going to leave Victoria on to run it." Brooke replied. "Julian and I actually have plans to look at a few houses tomorrow. We were going to bring you with us." Brooke said pointing to Sam.

"Wow, so you're adopting another baby, moving your multimillion dollar company to Tree Hill, North Carolina, and you're going house hunting. That's a lot to take in." Peyton remarked.

"Brooke it's going to take a lot to move a company to a new place and it's going to take a lot to move down here. Are you sure it's wise to take on all that?" Karen asked as she held Riley.

"Well Millie will be able to handle almost all of the stuff with the company and with the move to the house, Julian and I can just hire people to move our stuff for us. We were just talking about all this at breakfast this morning. We think that if we're going to do it we should put an offer down on a house while we're here and then as soon as we get back we'll get everything together. We want to buy a new house, one that no one has lived in and we would also love for it to be on the beach.

"It sounds like you're really prepared Brooke, but do you really think you're going to be able to find a house you like tomorrow?" Karen asked.

"Well Julian and I have been looking online for houses down here, so we're not going in blind. We just have to make sure we all like the house."

"Brooke we've looked at five houses already. I think we're going to have to come back in a couple weeks." Julian said as Brooke, Sam, and Millie all climbed into their rent Yukon.

"No, I refuse to believe that! We're going to find our house today. It's only noon anyways, so we can keep looking." Brooke replied.

"Okay fine, we'll look at two more houses and then that's it." Julian said giving in.

"Deal." Brooke replied before kissing Julian.

Twenty minutes later Julian pulled up to a light blue ocean front property on exclusive Figure Eight Island. It was a two story house with six bedrooms and five bathrooms. They walked up to the front door and knocked. Soon they were being escorted inside to get a tour of the house. After the tour Julian and Sam continued to walk through the house, while Brooke and Millie, who was holding Riley, stood off to the side discussing the house.

"I think this is the house Mil." Brooke whispered excitedly.

"I really like this house Brooke. It's perfect for you guys." Millie replied.

"What do you mean us. If we move into this house your moving in too. I need my assitant, especially if I decide to move headquartes here." Brooke said.

"Oh Brooke I could never move in with you. I cannot afford to help out with the house and pay rent." Millie responded.

"Millie, you don't have to help. You basically running the company while I take care of Riley and this baby boy I'm getting will be rent enough and if you really want to help us, then you could find someone to work under you, so you have an assitant." Brooke replied.

"Thank you Brooke Davis." Millie said as she side hugged Brooke.

"Well babe, what do you think?" Julian asked as he walked over to Millie and Brooke with Sam.

"I know what I think, but I really want to know what you and Sam think." Brooke said.

"I really like this house, but you guys are in charge. I don't really know how big of a say I get." Sam said.

"Sam, your opinion matters to us. I really love the house Brooke. I think it's perfect especially after we get the new baby."

"I totally agree and I just got Millie to move in with us! She thinks the house is great!" Brooke said.

"So have you guys made up your mind?" Asked the owner.

"We'll take it." Brooke and Julian responded in unison.

Naley's House

Nathan, Haley, Lucas, and Peyton had all gathered at Nathan and Haley's house anxiously awaiting Brooke and Julian's return from house hunting. Brooke called Peyton and said they'd be there in time for dinner, but not to wait if they were hungry. Peyton had spent most of the day with Nathan, Jamie, and Aiden. Lucas and Haley were busy cooking dinner.

Sam was the first one to walk in the house with Riley in her arms. Millie wasn't far behind as she walked with Julian.

"Where's Brooke?" Peyton asked looking up from the tv.

"She is on the phone with the adoption agency finding out when we can get the baby." Julian replied taking a seat.

"Does this said baby have a name?" Nathan asked.

"No, since he is only two weeks old they've been calling him baby boy. If they don't have a family by the time the babies are a month old then they name them. We get to name him when we get there." Julian replied.

"Do you guys have any names in mind?" Peyton asked.

"Actually we do, but I'm not supposed to tell you." Julian said.

"Awe that bitch! She is trying to get me back for not telling her what Aiden's name was!" Peyton shouted.

Everyone in the room started to laugh.

"Why is everyone laughing?" Brooke said coming into the room.

"Peyton called you a bitch." Nathan said.

"Nathan!" Peyton shouted

"Why did you call me a bitch?" Brooke demanded.

"Because I wouldn't tell her what we're naming the baby. She thinks you're getting back at her for not tell her Aiden's name." Julian said as he wrapped his arm around Brooke.

"Well that is ridiculous!" Brooke said turned to walk into the kitchen. "But true." She called out over her shoulder.

"See." Peyton said pointing to Brooke. "Bitch."

Brooke walked out the kitchen a few moments later with Haley and Lucas following close behind carrying drinks for everyone. Once everyone had a drink and was seated Brooke stood up.

"Julian, Sam, Millie, Riley, and I found a house today!" Brooke squeeled

"That's great Brooke! Where is it and what does it look like?" Haley asked.

"Its on Figure Eight Island. Its a light blue, two story beach house. It has six bedrooms and five baths. Each bedroom has a balcony and we have our own private entrance to the beach. It's gorgeous!"

"It sounds perfect for you guys. When do you move in?" Peyton asked as she picked up a crying Aiden.

"We get to move in, in two weeks. That's probably just enough time to get the company together too. I've already got a building and they're starting construction tomorrow, so it will be ready when we get back." Brooke responded.

The friends spent the night eating dinner, remembering old times, sharing new adventures, and talking about the future. The group called it a night at eight with Lucas and Peyton going home with Aiden, Brooke and Julian going back to their hotel with Riley, Sam, and Millie, and Nathan and Haley tucking Jamie into bed before going to bed themselves.

"Do you think now that we had Aiden we should get married?" Lucas asked as Peyton rocked Aiden.

"Excuse me?" Peyton whispered.

"Seriously do you think we should get married?" Lucas asked again.

"Do you think we should?"

"Yeah I do. I think we should just get it over with. I don't think we need a big wedding unless you want one." Lucas replied looking at Peyton.

"I don't want a big wedding. I've never wanted a big wedding as much as Brooke would like to try and convince me I want one. We should just go down to the courthouse. We can take Aiden, your mom, and all our friends." Peyton replied

"Do we really need our friends? I say you and I just go and take Aiden with us and my mom or she'll kill us." Lucas said.

"A private ceremony would be kinda nice." Peyton admitted. "Where is this even coming from?"

"Well I was talking to Brooke."

"Naturally."

"And she just asked when I was going to propose. I told her I wasn't going to and if we decided to get married it would probably be a discussion and not a romantic gesture where I ask you to marry me."

"I'm sure she was thrilled by that answer." Peyton laughed.

"Yeah not a great moment. She then made a comment about how I still have the ring and how I should just propose." Lucas rambled on.

"You still have the ring?" Peyton asked surprised.

"Yeah of course I do. I always hoped that one day I would be able to give it to you."

"Well then why don't you give it to me." Peyton said shyly.

Lucas walked out of the room and was back in a matter of minutes. He got down on one knee and slid the ring on to Peyton's ring finger on her left hand.

"There, now you have it."

"Thank you." Peyton replied before kissing Lucas. "Can we wait a couple of months?" Peyton asked.

"We can, but our friends will most likely find out." Lucas replied.

"Ugh, we'll just have to figure something out. I just want to wait awhile until Aiden is a little older and my belly gets small again."

"Peyton you're beautiful." Lucas said.

"I just want to wait." Peyton replied.

"Okay we'll wait."

"Your baby is in the perfect position for me to tell you the sex, do you want to know?" Dr. Lee asked.

Haley looked at Nathan who nodded his head okay.

"Well it seems it's you're expecting a baby girl." Dr. Lee said. "Congratulations."

__________________________________________

Okay, so twice in a row I have had to go back and fix how far along Haley is in her pregnancy because apparently when I do math right I think I do it wrong so I do it all over again so it truely is wrong and then I redo it so I'm right. It's been crazy and it drives me nuts! I have pictures for this fanfiction up on my profile. When I orginally set out to do this story I knew Julian and Brooke would be getting another child, but I originally thought I was going to do a 15 year old boy. My how things change. I always intended for Nathan and Haley's second child to be a boy too, but most people wanted it to be a girl, so I went with popular vote. I did a lot of research when looking for Brooke and Julian's house. I had a lot of fun doing it though. I definately want to marry a billionaire and get a beach front home in North Carolina. Some of them or a lot of them I should say are pretty frickin awesome! Okay please review. Keeps me going. :)

By the way the house and bedroom for Peyton and Lucas is a future house and master bedroom. They're currently living in Lucas' childhood home.

I'm going to skip ahead a while too and I think when I do that I'm going to leave out writing Lucas and Peyton's wedding. I might do a flashback to it, but I just can't imagine writing it because I loved the one from the show too much.

Coming Soon...

Lucas and Peyton buy a new house for their expanding family.

Haley gives birth.

Lucas publishes another book.

Lindsay's back for more. (I personally hope my muse lets me punch her. :D)
