Chapter Thirty-Eight: Pre-wedding Plans
"How are we going to fit everyone inside our house?" Erika complains to Rachel as they sit in the living room waiting for everyone's arrival.
"Well Nathan won't fly in until the day of the wedding so he won't be sleeping here. The only people we need to worry about are my sister, your parents and your brother and sister," Erika nods her head indicating that Rachel was right. "Sam said she would stay with Brooke. So your sister can take Sam's room. Your parents can take our guest room and your brother can have the extra room in our basement."
"But what about your sister?"
"Brooke offered Danielle to stay at her place and she accepted. She hasn't seen Sam in awhile so it will be bonding for them."
"But she's your sister."
Rachel smiles and nods her head.
"I know which is why I will be staying at Brooke's the night before the wedding. We will bond then. Don't worry, we have everything figured out."
"What about Peyton and Lucas?"
"Lucas never sold his parents house so Peyton, him and baby Sawyer will be staying there. If Nathan flies home early then he said he'd stay there as well."
"A few more days," Erika mentions with a smile. "Just a few more days."
"Yep and then I become Mrs. Rachel Jensen."
Erika grins before pulling Rachel into a passion filled kiss. Erika pulls away out of breath.
"I like the sound of that."
"So do I."
-Back to Me-
Jenna and Sam were sitting on the couch in the living room while Brooke and Haley were in the kitchen making lunch. Brooke and Haley loved that Sam would be staying with them for a few days.
"Have you two decided on baby names yet?" Sam asks out of curiosity. It had taken her awhile to be okay with the pregnancy, but with the help of her girlfriend things have calmed down a considerate amount.
Haley grins at Brooke and Brooke smiles at her daughter while carefully cutting up some apples to have with everyone's lunch.
"We have actually. Why are you so interested to know?"
Sam blinked in surprise. She didn't think it was a big deal to know. When she saw the gleam in her mother's eyes she knew Brooke was just messing with her.
"Can you tell me?"
Brooke glanced at Haley.
"Baby, do you want to handle this one?"
Haley grins and nods her head.
"For your little sister we are naming her Madison Lydia Davis. Lydia because of my mom and for your little brother we have decided on James Cooper Davis."
"I like it," Sam finally says after awhile of silence. "What do you think?" Sam asks Jenna.
"It's not like my opinion matters, but I do like it and it fits. All the kids' names fit, Samantha, Madison and James. It works."
"It does, doesn't it?" Brooke says with a smile.
Sam and Jenna agree while Haley shoves a few apple pieces in her mouth. Brooke turns to Haley with a grin. Haley swallows the apples and blushes.
"I'm hungry."
"Three more months, baby," Brooke says before telling everyone that lunch was ready.
-Back to Me-
"Tell me more about your family before they come," Rachel asks kindly as Erika finally takes a seat on the couch after getting the rooms ready for their guests.
"I know you know the basics, but I'll tell you it all anyway. My parent's names are Stan and Anna Jensen. I have an older sister, Charlotte. She's twenty seven, currently single. Then there is my younger brother Gavin and he will be graduating high school this year."
"There's a big gap between you and your brother."
Erika nods her head.
"Yeah, let's just say he was never planned, but loved. This will be the first time in over a year that are family is together. I'd be nice to see them."
Rachel switches positions to lie down on the couch and pulls Erika to lie down in front of her.
"Do you think your family will like me?"
"Yeah, I do. They knew about Haley, but they had never met her. They can't always make the trip to Tree Hill."
"I can't believe I never asked you this, but where are you from originally?"
"Minnesota, but I've moved around a lot. I've lived in Minnesota three different times in my life. Otherwise I've lived in California, South Carolina and now North Carolina. Have you lived in New York your whole life?"
"Yeah I have. I knew when Brooke and I talked about separating that she was going to come back here. I mean it's her hometown. Brooke talked about this place a lot and I kind of fell in love with it. Having Sam here and with me missing her all the time made me realize that I needed to relocate. It wasn't that hard of a decision."
"I'm glad you made that decision, otherwise you and I would have never met."
"Same here."
-Back to Me-
A few hours after lunch Jenna had gone home, Brooke went to her store to work on the finishing touches to Rachel and Erika's wedding dresses leaving Sam and Haley at home.
"Haley, when are you going on maternity leave?"
Haley looks up from her book as Sam sits down on the couch next to her.
"I'll be taking leave sometime next month just to be on the safe side. Anything can happen with twins and then considering it's so close to summer I'll be taking the rest of the year off and starting back up in the fall."
Sam groans and leans back in the couch.
"What's with the groan?"
"No one understands my writing except for you. Our class is going to have some lame ass sub that doesn't really care. They just want a paycheck."
"Samantha Davis, you are an amazing writer and if no one else can see that then clearly they're stupid. Sam, you have a gift."
"Thanks Haley."
"It's alright Sam."
Haley goes back to her book. After a few pages, Haley looks at Sam and notices that Sam is staring at her pregnant belly. Haley closes her book and turns to Sam.
"Is something wrong, Sam?"
Sam lifts her eyes from Haley's belly to her eyes.
"Are you scared?" Sam whispers.
Knowing that Sam was talking about the Twins, Haley nodded her head.
"Terrified," Haley replied honestly.
Sam nods her head.
"You're not alone."
Haley smiles.
"Yeah, I'm not alone and either are you."
Sam gives Haley a genuine smile.
