"Daddy, daddy" Alex screamed as she ran towards Lucas and jumped straight into his arms.
"Did you have fun at the museum?" He watched as the small blonde bobbed her head up and down excitedly. "That's good. Ready to go home"
"Yupp" Alex smiled as she and Lucas made their way to the car. He strapped her into the booster before getting into his seat and pulling out of the school parking lot.
The arrived home about ten minutes later and Alex fidgeted in her seat until Lucas un-strapped her and she was able to jump out the car. "Aunt Haley" she ran towards the brunettes open arms.
"Hey kiddo. How was the trip" Haley asked as she lifted Alex into her arms.
"It was fun. I got to see dinosaur bones and they were really big." Haley watched as she used her hands to show how big the bones were.
"Wow…I think you should go draw me a picture" Haley winked at the little girl before setting her down and opening the front door. Lucas laughed as he approached his best friend, his daughter's book bag flung over his shoulder.
"Hey Hales" he greeted as he watched his daughter run down the hall to her room.
"Hey" Haley said quietly. Lucas looked down at the brunette and instantly took note of her nervousness.
"Hales…what's going on." Lucas inquired as the smile disappeared from his face.
"You'll never guess who decided to come back to Tree Hill." Haley looked up at the blonde who just shook his head.
"Yeah I can….Brooke. I saw her when I stopped at the drug store on the way to get Alex. You could say we had a less then pleasant encounter. She was pissed and got me pissed and she cursed me out and then left. God how I missed her over the years." Lucas rolled her eyes.
"Brooke Davis is actually back in North Carolina, yet alone Tree Hill." Haley raised her brow and shook her head in disbelief.
"Wait…you weren't talking about Brooke." Lucas looked down, now confused.
"Let's just say our high school days were nothing compared to the hell that about to break loose over the next few days, possibly the next few weeks if someone doesn't just get up and leave." Haley sighed in frustration as she tossed her head back.
"Haley what are you mumbling about?" Lucas asked as he eyed the brunette cautiously.
"Lets see…there's me, Nathan, you, and Brooke….who's missing from our little senior year drama club?" Haley watched as Lucas thought about her question and his eyes suddenly grew wide.
"You can't be serious." Lucas muttered.
"Yeah well I saw her at outside of the café after I had a little argument with her roommate Amy." Haley smirked before rolling her eyes in disgust.
"Why the hell is Peyton back now, what does she think is going to happen?" Lucas retorted bitterly as she stormed into his house. Haley soon followed him shutting the door behind him, hoping that she could keep the rest of the world or at least Tree Hill away from Lucas and Alex until Peyton and Brooke left.
