Lina said excitedly. "So everyone from the party is going to be there?" Rachel asked. "So a quadruple date-away" Rachel mocked. "That's what i said" Brooke said walking in to the foyer. "Nice to see you again, Red" "you too,dimples." "So," Brooke started looking at Lina "that was Luke he picked up the van and is on his way." "Cool, im just packing the last bit of essentials and I'll be done." Lina replied.Brooke gave her skeptical look "i promise!"Lina defended. "I'll go help her"Rachel laughed. "Hello sorry these two are rude," Owen rolled his eyes, "I'm Owen,Rachel's fiancé" he waved at Brooke. "Nice job, red"Brooke winked at Rachel, "I'm brooke, the roommate slash future sister-in-law." "So where's my niece"Owen rubbed his hands together. "Upstairs in the nursery" Lina said heading upstairs with her two friends. Walking into the nursery Essie was standing up in her crib with her curls everywhere. "Hello baby girl" Owen pushes his way passed the girls lifting the baby into the air before snuggling her to his chest,kissing the top of head,"mmm I've missed you."

Owen said as they walked out the nursery to Lina's room. "So i saw you updated you fbook status to in a relationship." Rachel inquired causing Lina to smile. "Yeah we are officially official." "I never thought I'd see the day, even when you were with Josh, the short period of time you didn't change your Facebook." Rachel said sitting on the bed. "I don't know Rachel, it's different."Lina replied walking to her closet to grab more clothes. "I loved Joshua with all my heart." "I know." "It's just different." "Different is good,I'm just happy to see you happy" Rachel got up and hugged her friend. "You know your couple name for me now is Pbj." Lina laughed. The girls continue to catch up and pack by the time Luke pulled up in front of the house Rachel, Brooke and Lina were sitting the kitchen drinking hot cocoa. "Hello!" Luke said letting himself in the house."y'all ready?!" "Coming!"Lina called out. "You guys take your bags to the car I'm going to let my parents know I'm leaving." Lina walked out the kitchen. "Hey big bro" Lina said passing him and going upstairs as a tall guy came down. "Hey you must be Luke." Owen stretched out his hand when he got to the last step."I'm Owen." Luke shook his hand,"yes, I'm luke." "Hey boyfriend." Brooke rasped kissing him gently. "Pretty girl" he smiled. "Lina went upstairs to let Jules know we were leaving, we can start taking the bags to the car." "Please tell me you only packed one bag." Lucas asked. "Yes broody, we are going for the weekend."brooke smiled sweetly pointing to the luggage bag by the door. Luke shook his head, "Brooke a duffle bag would've sufficed" rolling the bag out the door toward the van. "Our bags are in the rental." Rachel said popping the trunk from the porch as Owen made his way to the car. Owen pulled out a duffle bag and luggage case from the trunk making his way to the van. "Looks like Rachel and Brooke pack the same." Owen said walking up next to Luke. "And Im sure Lina packs the same." Luke shook his head smiling. "Good thing we got the 15 passenger van." Luke said lifting Brooke bag into the van, trying to lie it flat but it was to wide.He flipped it to its side. "Good thinking, this trunk space is going to be filled like we are traveling with 15people."Owen lifted Rachel's bag, putting it on its side in front of Brooke's." A few moments later the girls were heading their way and to the guys surprise Lina had a large duffel bag. When she got to the van she put her bag on top of Rachel and Brooke's. "Now that's how you pack!"Owen said. "Oh don't start."Rachel said rolling her eyes. "Next stop,Jake's."Lina interrupted climbing into the van making her way to the last row. Rachel and Owen followed into the van sitting in the second row with Owen shutting the door. Once Brooke and Luke we're settled in the front seats they made their way to Jake's. Tossing his duffle in the trunk he climbed in next to Lina kissing her hello. "Hey rach." Jake smiled. "You must be Owen" Jake nodded to Owen "I'm jake." "Hey man nice to finally meet you." Owen nodded back. They made their way to Haley and Nate. "I heard it's supposed to snow," Brooke said excitedly. "Really?"Lina asked,"Ugh I've missed snow." Letting Nate and Haley in the van they were finally on their way to the cabin. Two hours later they were pulling up to the cabin. "This place is huge." Rachel admired. "Yup, big enough for each couple to have their own room." Brooke winked at the group. "I like the way you think."Rachel replied. "Let's get these bags into the house and choose a room."Haley said. "All but the master is up for grabs."Brooke advised. "Sunrise or sunset." Lina asked Jake as he slung his and her bags on each of his shoulders. "Um sunset."jake replied . "Perfect, I know which room we're getting,follow me."Lina said, leading the way upstairs making a left and going down the hall opening the second door to the right, from all the pictures Brooke showed her during the trip planning it's like she's been here before. "This room has a perfect view of the sunset."Lina declared. "Hmm," Jake said dropping the bags and kicking the door closed. "I see an even better view." He walked up to her cupping her face in his hands as he kissed her walking her back into the bed. Lina sat on the bed pulling away from him she peeled of her jacket as he did the same. "I like the way you think, Jacob." She grinned. Kissing her again he climbed on top of her as she wrapped her legs around his waist. Slowly she started to unbutton his shirt,spreading her hands on his chest she slid them down to start undoing his belt. "What about this one!" Haley said opening the door,"oh my god!!sorry!"she shut the door again. Jake pulled away from Lina quickly laying next to her in bed as she laughed. "Oh my god!im sorry" Haley yelled through the door. Lina laughed even harder before kissing Jake and getting off the bed opening the door. "This room is occupied you prev." She joked. "I'm sorry" Haley said her face completely red. "Don't worry about it, now we know to lock the door."Lina smiled. "Good thing Nate wasn't right behind me, he would've been so mortified." Lina waves her off, "maybe if y'all came in five minutes later" causing Haley to turn redder. "Where is he?"Lina asked. "When i shut the door quickly he went into the other room" Haley laughed finally finding the humor in all of this. "Well than i guess y'all found a room after all."Lina replied. "Which is where I'm going to go and a leave y'all alone, remember to lock your door this time." Lina laughed walking back into the room closing the door and locking it, "where were we?" Lina said walking over to the bed. "Really?" Jake said with his hands covering his face. "The doors locked now,"Lina said straddling him,removing his hands from his facing and kissing him. "Unless?"lina said, pulling away. "Forget it."jake said flipping her over causing her to laugh.

"Ok broody here we are" Brooke said removing her hands from his eyes. "Wow this room is huge." Luke looked around in awe. "Yup, plus we have our own personal hot tub." Brooke said removing her jacket. "And you know our history with hot tubs."she winked as she removed her shirt tossing it to him before she started undoing her pants. Once she was down to her underwear she made her way to the hot tub. Thank god for modern technology she thought she had turned the tub on from her phone when they were 10 mins away. "Are you going to join me?" Brooke asked as she stood in the middle of the hot tub she u hooked her bra sitting in the water and tossing the garment at Luke. Luke quickly undressed and joined Brooke in the tub.

"Where's everyone?" Brooke said as she walked down the stairs with Luke, the only people they saw was Jake and Lina snuggled on the couch. "They went to get food?" Lina shrugged eating a bowl of popcorn. "which is weird cause the kitchen is fully stocked." "Yeah I called the caretaker to stock up for this weekend." Brooke said walking to her grabbing a handful of popcorn and taking a seat on the couch next to the couple. "What are we watching?"luke asked taking a seat next to Brooke."Grey's"Lina replied focused on the tv. "Isn't this an old.." "shhh"Lina shushed Luke. "Jake"he whispered and nodded his head to the kitchen. Both guys got up and went to the kitchen. "Thank you!" Jake said as he joined Luke in the kitchen. "I like grey's but binging is a no go" Jake added. "Same,Brooke could watch it all day."Luke said looking into the living room seeing the girls were now spread out on the couch with the popcorn between them. "What's there to eat?" "There's a lot of everything." Jake shrugged as Luke went through the cabinets and fridge. "Where did the other go to get food?" "I don't know, we texted them earlier and they said they were at some restaurant." "Ok so they're eating out which means we just have to make enough for us."luke stated as his stomach growled. "Well we can make pasta, that's quick." Jakes said opening the fridge seeing a container of grated cheese, a jar of minced garlic and a bundle of parsley "Perfect,let's see what we have."Luke opened up the cabinets again finding a box of spaghetti, olive oil, salt and pepper. "Looks like we had the same idea."jake commented placing his ingredients on the island. "Quick and simple,pasta with garlic and cheese." "One of the things Karen taught me to cook." Jake smiled. "Same." Luke laughed. Ten minutes later they filling up the plates and placing them on the table. "Time to eat." Jake announced gaining the girls attention. Lina paused the show as both girl made their way to the table. "Yum pasta with cheese and garlic." Lina smiled. "One of the first things Karen taught me" Brooke said. "Seems like that's ma's go to starter recipe." Luke replied. They continued eating by the time they finished and the rest of the group arrived back. "Look the bunnies are out."Rachel smirked. "Ha-ha-Ha" Lina rolled her eyes. "Where'd y'all go?" "Theres a bar/grille about three miles down."Nate said, "we saw it on our way up." "You didn't want to invite us?"brooke asked. "Y'all were a little preoccupied."Haley replied. Lina and Brooke shrugged. "Well Jake and Luke made us dinner." "So what do we do now?" "We are going to bed." Rachel said winking at Owen, "time for us to get preoccupied." She finished as she led Owen down the hallway to their room. "Remember to lock the door!" Lina yelled out, "Haley's on the loose." Haley shook her head at Lina. "Bed sounds amazing."Haley said, grabbing Nate's hand and pulling him up the stairs. "We could watch more greys,"Brooke suggested. "Or go for round 2?" Luke whispered in her ear. "That food made me so sleepy."lina said suddenly. "Same." Brooke replied. "Good night." They said making their way upstairs to their designated rooms.

Lina laid in bed wrapped in Jake's arms, "I like this."She mused. "What?"Jake asked pulling her to his chest. "This,us together."She placed a kiss on his chest. "Me too."jake sighed, "some of my favorite days this past month have been with you,school,hanging with the girls,it's been awhile since I've been just happy." "You have been one of the best surprises that came from this move." "I love pizza" Jake whispered. "I love pizza too" Lina whispered back.

"I have something for you" Luke said getting up from the bed and waking to his bag. "Ohh i love presents."brooke said sitting up on the bed. Reaching into his bag and making his way back to the bed with his hands behind his back. "Gimme"Brooke said excitedly. Luke pulled his hand from behind him holding an envelope, "you wrote back too me?" Brooke smiled. "Yes, it's only fair,83 unanswered letters." Brooke grabbed the letter and placed it on the nightstand, "I'm going to read it but first," Brooke kisses him deeply pulling him on top of her.

Lina woke up stretching in bed realizing she was alone. Getting up and making her way to the en suite she got ready for the day after throwing on some leggings and a tree hill sweatshirt she made her way downstairs. "Morning sleepy head." Rachel called from the kitchen. "Morning" Lina grumbled. "Where are the guys?" "They went for a morning run."Brooke answered, handing Lina a coffee. taking a sip and letting the caffeine hit her bloodstream before replying "That's amazing,And it's like 2 degrees outside." "That's what i said, but Nate was all like 'no pain no gain'" Haley said rolling her eyes as she whisked eggs in a bowl. "So we decided to make breakfast," Brooke added as she added more bacon to the plate on the island. "Yum,"Lina said reaching for one before Rachel smacked her hand,"nuh uh, none til the boys are back." "Boo!" Lina pouted before standing , "whats left to make?" "You can make the French toast" Rachel offered. "If Haley didn't. Use all the eggs already." Brooke laughed. "Hey y'all wanted to make a breakfast feast whats a breakfast feast with out omelettes?" "True,"lina agreed. "There's more eggs in the fridge, tomorrow will be an egg free breakfast." Haley shrugged. "Cereal for everyone tomorrow" Brooked stated. "So today's New Year's Eve, what's the plan?" Lina inquired. "Based on how you asked that question,i feel like you already have an idea." Rachel answered, eyeing the girl. "You know me so well," Lina.beamed, "ok so when we were driving up i saw this party store and i was thinking we get some costumes to celebrate tonight?" "I love the idea!" Hales replied., "i hope they have some cool couple costumes." "Yes! Couples costumes" Lina beamed. "Oh lord," Rachel rolled her eyes. "Lina loves couples and group costumes." "Yes i do!" She said pulling out her phone. "What are you doing?" "Googling couple costume ideas." Lina said typing into her phone. "Well if they have a Lucy costume ,calling dibs!" Rachel said. "Are you actually participating in a couples costume?"brooke asked shocked. "If you can't beat them join them." Rachel shrugged grabbing Linas phone, "you're supposed to be making French toast." "Right,"she said continuing where she left off in whisking up eggs and cinnamon. "What are you thinking about Haley?"brooke asked. "I'm trying to figure out if i want to do cute or funny?" "Im leaning towards funny,but I'm going to wait for Jake to decide." "Why would anyone be hermoine and harry?" Rachel asked scrolling through the phone. "It's like people who dress up as woody and Jessie." Lina replied as she placed a pan on the stove, "oh...why don't y'all go as buzz and Jessie? Natas a total buzz"Brooke laughed. "Hmm.. that might be a thought." Haley said. "We should get some firecrackers and sparklers." Bevin suggested. "A true New Year's Eve shindig" Haley agreed. "Shindig?" Rachel shook her head laughing. "What?" Haley asked. "Nothing, let's set up the table." Rachel said grabbing plates from the cabinet. "Something smells good!" Nate yelled as he walked through the door. "You girls made breakfast? Y'all the best."Luke said walking in after him with Jake. "Honey I'm home." Owen said as he walked in closing the door. "Ricky!" Lina said as she added more French toast to a platter. "Ethel."he deadpanned as she answers him by sticking out her tongue. "Everyone sit breakfast is served."brooke announced as Lina walked the platter to the table.
