A/N: Sorry I haven't updated for aaages guys I have been pretty under the weather and I still feel pretty rough but I needed to update! The last quotation in the chapter was from Roy Croft- from a top 100 love quotes thing- I needed something really good for leyton!

Disclaimer: I own nothing but I don't mind now as S6 premier was so awesome I instantly forgave mark and stopped saving up the money to buy him out of the one tree hill rights... Although the leyton stuff in 6x01 totally steps on my honeymoon style chapter LOL.

Peyton pushed at the silk material wrapped round her eyes and sighed dramatically, "are we there yet?"

From the drivers seat Lucas chuckled, "relax wifey i'm not taking you anywhere you won't approve of."

"Do I have to wear this though?!"

"Yes! This is meant to be a surprise."

"Luke- it would have been acceptable if i'd been wearing it for ten minutes but i've been wearing it for over an hour and I have a feeling we're not in Tree Hill any more."

"Maybe not," he slowed down and signalled, "but we are some place just as good."

They pulled up and she felt herself being jerked around by the car going over rocks and into pot holes. She reached up to the roof of the car to steady herself, "Luke!"

"Sorry sorry," he wrestled with the wheel.

"You're not driving us over a cliff Thelma and Louise style are you?"

"Why? Would you decide to jump from the moving car Cameron Diaz style?"

"Unbelievable! We're on our honeymoon and it only takes you less than a day to bring up some hot famous chick! I mean you're-"

The car pulled to a stop and Lucas broke her rant with a kiss, "Peyton, shush now, you were the one who mentioned hot chicks first."

"I know," she smiled, "i'm just cranky when I can't see things!"

"Oh yeaaah, let me remedy that." He jumped out of the car and ran round the front, opening the passenger door and gently helping Peyton out. He undid the blindfold and she stopped feeling at all cranky.

"Wooow, Luke..." They were standing on the shore of a lake, surrounded by huge fir trees, there was a calming silence, only the sound of gentle waves and the stars were brighter than she'd ever seen. She turned and touched his face, "it's beautiful."

"There's more," he said grinning and twirling her round to look behind them. There was a log cabin, the roof covered in snow and the curtain drawn, with white rose petals leading up to a blue door surrounded by ivy. She felt tears fill her eyes and swallowed, her voice was shaky when she spoke.

"Oh my god Luke," she clutched his hand tightly, he looked at her concerned.

"Peyt are you ok?"

"Oh yeah, just stupid hormones" she turned and cupped his face, "this is wonderful Lucas, thank you- can we go inside?"

"Of course babe, here," he bent and picked her up and she tipped her head back laughing.

"Lucas i'm pregnant!"

"So?!" He bent his knees and dipped her jokingly.

"Stop it! Luuuke!"

"Ok sorry sorry," he smirked and then kissed her, "I can handle a little extra weight, besides you're still a rake babe."

"I'm a rake?!" She said crossly as they headed up the steps, he struggled to keep his balance in the snow and let out a grunt.

"Peyton," he said breathlessly, "just give me a second before you start ranting again ok?"

She felt guilty and fell silent, her arms clinging round his neck as they went through the door. He stopped walking and they both gazed round incredulously, "wow, this is amazing," she said softly.

He lowered her gently to the floor and she kissed him lightly. "I'm sorry, I guarantee that was my last moan- I don't deserve someone as sweet as you."

"You don't," he said grinning, "you're just lucky my standards are low."

She shot him a warning look and he raised his hands, "i'm kidding, i'm the luckiest guy alive Peyton Sawyer."

"It's Peyton Scott now," she said shyly and he smiled widely and wrapped his arms around her.

"You know I like the sound of that."

"Mmm," she kissed him, "me too."

He left an arm around her waist and guided her forward into the living room. The inside décor was lots of creams and deep purples and blues, the sofas were wide and soft and the lights were dimmed, only a faint glow coming from a fire lit the room. There were wide windows looking out onto the lake and she sank onto one of the sofas and peeked under the curtain to get a proper look.

"Wow it looks magical out there with the snow and the stars," she turned back into the room to where he was messing with the cd player, "Luke this is perfect, how did you find it?"

"Oh," he shrugged and came towards her, "I googled it." He held out a hand, "dance with me Mrs Scott?"

She stayed where she was for a second, she wished she could take a picture of this moment- in this gorgeous room, Lucas reaching out for her hand, his face full of love for her- it was like a perfect dream. Except it wasn't a dream, it was real, his hand taking hers now, the music in the background, everything, she couldn't have wished for anything else.

For you there'll be no crying,

For you the sun will be shining,

Cause I feel that when i'm with you,

It's alright, I know it's right,

And the songbirds keep singing that they know the score,

And I love you I love you I love you,

Like never before.

"Not too cheesy I hope," he murmured as they span slowly round the room, his thumb stroking her hand.

"It's seriously cheesy, but I wouldn't have wanted anything else," she could feel his heart beating against her hand through his tee shirt and she leant her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes, "it's perfect."

Meanwhile back at the Naley residence Haley was resting her head on Eva Rose's crib and feeling like she might have a break down. There was no singing happy song birds full of joy and love here. Instead she had managed to accidently break the mobile hanging over Virginia's crib and that had set her off which had set Eva off- that was if they had even stopped, maybe it had been for five seconds, she couldn't remember... Nathan came wandering into the room tossing a basketball from one hand to the other and stopped mid toss, the ball dropped to the floor.

"Hales? What's wrong?" She looked up, her brown eyes were full of tears and her face looked exhausted.

"They won't stop crying Nathan. I- I- i'm going crazy. All day, all night, I thought it might just have been a settling in period but they haven't stopped! I'm terrible at this- Jamie was so easy. I'm the worst mother ever I mean i'm comparing our children, I- I-" and before he could say anything she fainted and collapsed on the floor in a heap.

"Haley!" He dived forward and shook her by the shoulders, "Haley open your eyes baby- Haley!"

Her eye lids fluttered open and she gazed up at him wearily, "i'm sorry," tears brimmed over and she leant against him crying silently whilst in the background the twins joined in.

"Haley, sweetheart, you're being ridiculously hard on yourself. You are not a bad mother," he gently pulled her up so that they were sitting and reached for one of the girls blankets on the back of the crib. He wrapped it over them both and stroked her hair trying to calm her down. "It was always going to be a bigger adjustment than with Jamie- there's two of them! And they weren't born on time like Jamie or- hell a lot of reasons Hales, it doesn't make you a bad mother for thinking he was easier to look after- don't be crazy!"

She sighed and wrapped her arms tightly around him, "i'm just so tired Nathan- how can I be a good mother if they don't like me?"

"Haley stop it! They love you-"

"They cry every time I go near them!"

"They cry every time anyone goes near them- you're doing the paranoid mother thing and it's not good, here," he picked her up gently and carried her down the hall into their bedroom and laid her on the bed, "you sleep Hales, i'll go sit with them."

She reached up and stroked his face, "thank you."

"Hey you don't need to thank me, i'm the daddy remember? I'm supposed to do this stuff, now sleep Mrs Scott!" She didn't need telling twice. It had been a crazy few days, with all the preparations for new year she had thought the twins were just over excited, but what were they going to do if this was a long term thing? Jamie was already getting slightly annoyed that she kept falling asleep whilst reading to him. Tonight he had gone to stay at Brooke's- and hadn't implied he'd miss the house very much.

Nathan came back into the twins room and glanced around, he needed a distraction for them. Virginia was still going strong and every time Eva stopped she seemed to realise her sister was still going and felt like she had to accompany her, and start up again. He sighed and leant over Eva's crib,"hey pretty girl, you don't feel like sleeping?" To answer his question she continued to scream her lungs out.

"And what about you junior?" He twisted and bent over Virginia's crib, she stopped and looked up at him for a second, her brown eyes wide, and then took a breath and continued to cry.

He rolled his eyes, "look girlies I know i'm not as good at the patience thing as your mother but ten minutes would be really great." They both ignored him and for a second he floundered. Then he thought of something.

Over at Brooke and Peyton's Jamie was curling up on the sofa with Brooke and Saved By the Bell classics that she insisted they watched.

"It's nice and quiet over here," he said, helping himself to a lemon sherbet. Brooke glanced over at him amused and rubbed his shoulder.

"I know buddy, but it'll get better I promise."

"I hope so," he said sternly then collapsed against his godmother, "they don't stop crying Brooke."

"I know sweetie, but they will- you don't cry all the time do you?"

"No! Don't be silly, i'm four!"

"Ohh yeaaah, see I thought you were older somehow," she dimpled at him and poked him in the ribs, "but that's my bad." The doorbell went just as Brooke pressed play and she sighed exaggeratedly and rolled off the sofa

"Coming com-" she swung the door open and paused, "well hello there, I didn't realise i'd ordered a sexy broody take away today." Owen was leaning against the door frame and grinned wickedly at her, he produced a bunch of red christmas roses and leaned in to kiss her.

"Hey gorgeous, just thought i'd swing by."

She glanced at the roses, "why thank you but are you sure you don't want something."

"Mmm," he kissed her again and she moved backwards into the hall, "I had a few ideas."

"Oh no mister-" she pulled back as he moved to kissing her neck, "Jamie is in the living room."

"Oh-" his disappointment vanished and his face lit up, "i'll go say hi to the little man." He headed into the living room and she smiled and rolled her eyes, he was so good.

"Jaaaaa man!"

"Owen!" Jamie jumped off the back of the sofa and into Owen's arms.

"Jamie be careful!" Brooke warned as she came through with the roses in a vase.

"He's ok, aren't you big guy?"

"Uh huh! Me and Brooke were gonna watch Saved By The Bell- you wanna watch too?"

"Ahh thanks man but that's up to Miss Brooke here," he turned and glanced at Brooke, "can I stay ma'am?"

"Only if you swear never to call me ma'am again!" He threw Jamie over his shoulder and kissed Brooke.

"Thaaank you lovely lady!"

"Thank you Brooke!" Owen ran round the room pretending to drop Jamie every other step and he squealed with laughter, Brooke watched them amused.

"We don't have anything planned for dinner, shall I call for take out?"

"Sounds great babe." He and Jamie collapsed onto the sofa and she disappeared to get menus.

Several hours later and Owen pulled a blanket over Jamie and then followed Brooke through to the kitchen carrying the remnants of their Tai take out.

"I can't believe you own Saved By The Bell dvds!" He said teasingly as she ran dishes under the tap. She turned and shot him a look;

"Hey, that is nothing to be ashamed of! Besides you're friends with Keller!"

"Touche," he said grinning and sliding his arms round her waist, she turned to face him, leaning against the sink.

"Hi."

"Hey pretty," he kissed her and then turned and looked round the kitchen.

"What's up?" She asked, resting her hands on his chest.

"You know, I was wondering... is Peyton gonna be living here now she and Scott boy are married?"

"Oh my god, I totally hadn't thought about it," she inhaled, "wow yeah I guess she'll be moving out..."

"So you'll, you know, have some spare rooms available..."

She looked at him puzzled, "yeah I suppose, why? You don't want me to house Chris Keller do you?"

He chuckled and laced his fingers with hers, "no you know I was thinking maybe more, housing me occasionally..."

"You mean- like you store stuff here?"

"No you dope! I mean how do you feel about us moving in together- is that clearer?"

"Ohhh!" Her face lit up, "wow! Do you want to?"

"I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't serious Miss."

"Hmmm, you know i've never actually lived with a boy before- just in a boys room but that's totally different and I was only like sixteen and-"

"Brooke!"

"Sorry," she took a breath.

"What do you think?" He was looking at her intently and she suddenly felt excited.

"I say hell yeah!"

"Really?!"

"Yes!" He caught her up in his arms and she wrapped her legs round his waist laughing, he perched her on the sink edge and looked in her eyes;

"We're gonna do this?"

"Absolutely," and as though to confirm her feelings she leant forward and kissed him deeply.

Peyton woke the next morning surrounded by the roses that had been on the bed and discovered she had petals in her hair. She giggled, they'd had such a romantic evening, it was nice to know she could take reminders home. She looked over to where Lucas was fast asleep, one arm resting across her stomach and the other flung over the other side of the bed. She ran a finger up his arm;

"Luke," she whispered.

"Mmm," he shifted in his sleep but didn't open his eyes, "what's up babe?"

"I'm gonna get a drink of water, do you want one?"

"Mmmm," he opened one eye and sniggered, he reached over and pulled a petal out of her hair, "hey beautiful."

"Hii."

"I'll get your water- you stay where you are."

"No it's ok- you want anything?" She slid off the bed and reached for a tee shirt.

"No i'm ok- come back soon ok?"

She bent back onto the bed and kissed him, "i'll be right back."

She padded through to the kitchen and filled two glasses with water. She glanced out of the window and decided to check out the outside in the light. She grabbed Luke's hoodie and pulled on her ugg boots before trudging down the snowy steps and out into the cold air. The lake looked amazing in the day time, the early sun gave it an ethereal quality and there was a slight mist. She watched her own breath mist and smiled happily, an arm snaked around her waist and a cold looking Lucas kissed her neck.

"You took ages babe."

"I was five minutes," she said laughing.

"It felt like forever," he said sulkily.

"You're such a soppy kid Lucas Scott."

"I know," he smiled shyly, "but you know, it works for me."

They decided to walk to the nearest town area for breakfast and found a tiny quaint bakery where they could sit and have coffee and hot chocolate.

"So what do you wanna do today?" She asked as they linked their fingers across the table. He messed with her wedding ring, smiling to himself about it;

"Oh I dunno- pretty much what we did yesterday?" His eyes met hers sparkling and she blushed slightly.

"Hmmm.. I don't know.. Didn't really work for me..."

"Oh really?"

She smirked and kinked her eyebrow, "what do you think?"

Haley woke fairly early feeling refreshed and stretched out across the bed, expecting her hand to find her husband's arm, surprised she sat up to see he wasn't asleep beside her.

"Nathan?" She leant into their bathroom but it was empty. "Nate?" She walked down the corridor checking rooms when suddenly she heard a voice she recognised.

Feel this, can you feel this,

My heart beating out of my chest.

"Nathan?" She opened the door to the twins room to find her husband sitting in the corner on the pink rocking chair Deb had presented them with, a twin in each arm, with her newest song playing round the room. He seemed to be dozing, and both the twins were sound asleep. She moved forward and crouched down in front of him, touching his arm gently, "Nathan?"

"Huh?" His eyes snapped open, "oh hey baby, I told you I could get them to sleep!"

"You played them music?"

"No, I played them your music Haley James, and they were asleep in like, record time. And there you were thinking they didn't like you!"

She smiled, "really?"

"Yeah, I don't know why I didn't think of it sooner, they've been listening to you sing all along and- well this just seemed logical."

"Nathan Scott being logical- well I never."

"Yeah you've definitely rubbed off on me," he said grinning, she straightened up and kissed him, before smiling down at her daughters.

"And they haven't woken up since?"

"No they slept right through the night- hopefully they will from now on."

"I think that might be a little optimistic but for now- you're a genius baby."

"You're only just realising?" She smiled and then sat down on the sofa next to him, watching them happily.

Lucas and Peyton spent the morning wondering around the town, arms tightly wrapped round each other and Lucas constantly checking Peyton was warm enough. They had been in and out of several second hand book stores and Lucas had bought at least a shelf full of American greats to keep him busy for the next ten years. Now Peyton was making him wait whilst she wondered round a shop that sold home made soaps, he had made a sarcastic comment in the first ten seconds and she had kicked him out. She came out now, a bag full of lavender scented soaps and sachets and smiled at him;

"You ready to head back to the love nest baby?" She said slipping her hand into his.

"Absolutely," he said beaming and kissing her hand.

"Let's get out of here then," she said smiling up at him.
