Almost Reality
Chapter 38
You ever wake up from a really good dream, and try to get back to sleep? Or you got the flu, and you promise yourself you will appreciate normal so much more, if you can just get back to it? That's the way I feel. I just want things to go back to the way they were.
I bought baby supplies, a car seat, and toys. Chris made sure we have gas and money and passports. It's all set we're just waiting for the right moment and we'll get her then take off out of Tree Hill. He knows where they take her and where they drop her off. I'm driving our getaway car. They will both at last understand what it means to lose someone they love. And I for one can't wait. Nikki thought to herself. Looking over the stuff she had recently purchased. Before going back inside her home.

"Hey Hales." "Work's going really good we're very busy." "How did meeting up with Karen go.?" Nathan asked. With the phone in his ear.
"It was wonderful we had a very nice time." "There was talk of babies, weddings, and Emmy." "Can you believe she's going to be a year old in a matter of days.?" Haley asked smiling into the phone.
"No, I can't it feels like she was just born yesterday." "She's growing up so fast." "One year done many more to go." "After the party's over we'll celebrate just me and you." Nathan said.
"I'll hold you to that Nate." "I'll let you get back to work." "I love you." Haley said. Smiling into the phone.
"I love you too." "I'll gladly make it a night full of memories for you too."
"Nathan Scott what has gotten into you." Haley says as she pulls into the Karen's café parking lot.
"Just in love with my beautiful wife." Nathan said in response.
"I'm just as in love with my incredible husband." "And I'm officially off birth control so we may just make another baby that night." Haley said to him.
"See you when I get home." Nathan said. Closing the phone.
"We'll be waiting for you." "We'll put her to bed then I'll put you to bed." Haley said smiling. Closing the phone.
….
"There is your baby." "Everything is growing the way it should."
"I'm going to be giving you a prescription for prenatal vitamins." "Feel free to ask me any questions you may have." "Would you to hear your baby's heartbeat.?" The doctor asked.
"Yea of course." Peyton said. Looking to Lucas.
Who was holding on securely to her hand as the lights went out and a loud thumping filled the room.
Peyton's eyes filled with tears. As she turned to Lucas.
Lucas wiped her tears. Leaning over kissing her.
The lights eventually coming back on. And Peyton sat back up.
The doctor looked at them. And started to speak.
"I'm sorry I was wrong there was two heart beats." The doctor said. Looking to them.
"That sounds normal to me." "Mine and the baby's." Peyton said. Looking to them.
"Not counting your own your pregnant with twins." "Congratulations you two." The doctor said.
Peyton placed her hand on her stomach.
Lucas leaned over kissing her again.
The doctor left the room. To get the prescription.
Peyton got up and Lucas wrapped his arms around her in a hug.
"Two babies." Peyton said in disbelief hugging him back.
…
"Brooke, you know I would be more than happy to go wedding dress shopping with you." Karen said. Looking to her.
"I know but there is no doubt in my mind what I want to do and it's to wear your dress all the happiness you and Keith have had and the fact that you both have been parents to me my whole life." "I would be honored to wear it." Brooke said. Looking up at her.
"Alright it's yours." "You will make such a beautiful bride." Karen said. Looking to her.
"Keith will have the harder time with this than I will you two have always been close." Karen said.
"I know I love him and he offered to walk me down the aisle and I said yes." "It's all coming together." "This time in all of our lives couldn't be better." Brooke said. Looking back at her.
…
"You go and play Emmy." "Then you'll come inside for your nap." The playground monitor said. As she went to check on the other children.
Emmy went to play and was already consumed into her fun.
Chris smiled as he watched her. "Aren't you beautiful." He said. Leaving minutes later.

"So give all the details on the fun, interesting people of Tree Hill." Spencer said. Looking to Sam.
While the two girls sat down at lunch.
"Well that depends on what group your trying to be apart of." "I for one am not a clique person." "I'm friends with everyone I'm a lot like my mom that way." "Tric is the place we love having out at." "Food is great, the drinks are cheap and you are guaranteed to make a connection with someone." Sam said. Looking back at her.
"As long as there are cute people around I'll be all set." Spencer said to her.
"Of course the guys here are very good looking you'll have no problem." Sam said to her.
"Oh I don't care about that." "Guys aren't really my thing." Spencer said. Looking back at her.
"What do you mean by that.?" Sam asked.
"I'm gay I like other girls." "Is that a problem for you.?" Spencer asked.
"No Tree Hill is very tolerant but there are still jerks." "You have me as your friend so they will back off if not they'll have to deal with." Sam said. Looking back at her.
"Thanks Sam for your support." "It means a lot to me." Spencer said.
"No problem." Sam said in response.
