Author's Note: Hey, all. Thank you so much for the continuing reviews, especially the ones for the last chapter. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the Taylor/Peyton relationship/friendship, but I have a pretty good idea, I think. Either way, the story almost coming to a close, maybe just a few more chapters so they won't play that big of a part anyway, but they will definitely be in the sequel. Anyway, please make sure that you guys continue to review for this chapter, it will really mean a lot to me. Thanks.

...WWHT…

Brooke moaned slightly as she started to come to. She could tell that she was in her own bed because of the way the sun was coming through the window and hitting her in the face. The window in Haley's room was on the other side, and Peyton always had the blinds closed in her room. It took her a moment to remember why she was at her house, before the events of last night came back to her.

She remembered comforting Haley as she was crying, something she both loved and hated to do. She loved being able to make her feel better, and to hold her in her arms, but she just couldn't stand seeing Haley crying for any reason. She made a face as she recalled all the things that she had said at the dinner table.

Soon, a smile spread on her face as she remembered what happened after they had made up. She could still feel Haley's hands all over her body, the way her fingertips felt as they brushed against her bare skin. A slight shiver ran through Brooke's body and a huge smile spread across her lips.

She slowly opened her eyes, making sure that she did her best to avoid looking in the direction of her window. She immediately turned to her right so she was facing her girlfriend. The sight that greeted her almost made her heart melt, Haley was just so damn cute, especially in the morning. Seeing how beautiful Haley looked when she was sleeping made her wonder how she ever slept alone.

At some point during the night, they had managed to change their positions, something they tended to do every night. Brooke wasn't sure who was the restless sleeper, but they always seemed to wake up in a different position then when they went to sleep.

Brooke remembered that they had gone to bed early last night, spooning, if she was correct. Somehow, Haley had managed to get her on her back and was now snuggled up against her side, with her hand resting against she shoulder and her arm draped across her stomach.

Brooke giggled quietly at the look on Haley's face. She brought the arm that was already around Haley and buried it in her hair, pulling her head closer to her. She pressed her lips Haley's forehead. When she removed her lips, she just let Haley's head rest against hers, a content smile on her face. She brought her other hand and interlaced her fingers with Haley's as they rested on her stomach.

After a few moments of just lying in silence, basking in the sunlight together, there was a soft knock on her door. The didn't think that her mother would want to talk to them, and she couldn't remember the last time her father had come up to her room. For a moment she thought that maybe Peyton had spent the night in a guest bedroom and was coming to see them, but that thought was denied when Brooke glanced at the clock to see what time it was; it was only seven. Peyton Sawyer did not get her ass out of bed any early than eleven o'clock on a weekend.

"Come in," she called out, covering Haley's exposed ear with the hand that was already in her hair. She didn't want to wake up yet, especially if that was who she could only assume it was. The last thing she wanted to do was exposed Haley to another meeting with the Hell Beast.

"I was hoping you'd be awake," was the first thing her mother said as she opened up the door and stuck her head. She waited a moment before pushing it open completely. She entered the room with a cup of hot coffee in her hands, dressed as if she herself had just gotten out of bed. She was even still wearing her housecoat.

"We went to bed early," Brooke reminded her, trying her best to keep her voice neutral. She really wasn't in the mood to start another fight with her mother, especially this early in the morning and with Haley right there. She couldn't be held responsible for all the things she says when she fighting with her mother.

"Right, I forgot," she lied, closing the door and moving further into the room. As much as it killed her, she couldn't help but smile at just how adorable her daughter looked all snuggled up with her girlfriend. Maybe she was wrong about her daughter's intentions with Haley, they certainly looked like they were in love.

"What's up?" Brooke asked, shifting silently so she wasn't completely on her back. She wanted to be able to see her mother, but didn't want to wake Haley or lose her hold on her. "I didn't think I'd see you till next month."

"That's usually a pretty safe assumption," Angela replied, and if Brooke didn't know any better, she'd think she heard regret in her voice. Angela sighed and sat down on the bed, careful not to wake Haley. "Look, I got to thinking last night and…"

"Wait," Brooke stopped her before she could get any further. "Do you think this might take a while?" Angela nodded her head, thinking over all the things she wanted to say to her daughter.

"Probably." Brooke nodded.

"Okay, then we should go to another room," she suggested. "Haley had a little accident the other day, and I think she needs as much sleep as she can get." Angela nodded and stood up, walking to the door to wait. She watched as Brooke carefully untangled herself from Haley's arms and gave her a loving kiss on the lips before standing up. "I'll just be downstairs, baby."

With one more quick kiss, Brooke joined her mother. They left the room, closing the door so Haley wouldn't be disturbed and began walking towards the stairs in silence. Finally, Angela broke the silence.

"What happened to her?" Angela asked as they descended the stairs. She had noticed before that Haley had a slight bruise on her face and a swollen lip. She had thought about asking yesterday, but she didn't care enough then. Now though, after thinking things over, talking to Karen and seeing how cute they were together, she was curious and maybe even a little worried.

"You mean last night?" Brooke asked and continued without waiting for an answer. "Well, you got me going as usual and I completely lost my mind, saying a bunch of crap that I didn't mean in the slightest…"

"Not that," Angela cut her off with a smile. The more open minded she was about Brooke and Haley's relationship, the more cute she thought it was. Brooke looked at her in confusion. "You said she had an accident, back in your room that's what you said. I was just wondering what happened?"

"You care?" Brooke asked as they reached the bottom of the spiral staircase and started walking towards the living room. She wasn't trying to be rude or accuse her mother of anything; she was just genuinely surprised at her apparent concern.

"Yeah, I do," Angela answered, biting her tongue so she didn't say something mean. She could understand why Brooke was surprise; in fact her concern kind of surprised her as well. "I noticed she looked a little bruised last night at dinner, but I didn't want to say anything."

"It was just something that happened at a party the other night," Brooke told her, pushing the horrible feelings to the back of her head. She could remember everything about that night in exact detail. It was horrible. "Theresa and a few of the other cheerleaders cornered Hales in the pool house."

"Theresa hurt her?" Angela asked, surprised at Brooke's answer. She had meet Theresa a few times; she knew some things about her. She didn't know the girl as well as she knew Peyton, but the last time she checked, they were friends.

"Yeah, beat the crap out of her," Brooke explained, letting out a bitter laugh. They rounded the corner and entered the living room. Brooke plopped down on the couch and Angela sat down on the chair Mr. Davis had been sitting in the night before. "Me and Peyton got there just in time. I was trying to get her to let Haley go, but Haley said something and Theresa slammed her head against the floor."

"But she was okay?"

"I then proceeded to beat the crap out of Theresa and Peyton called the ambulance," Brooke continued. She shrugged as she reached the end of the story. "She had to stay the night at the hospital, but she was pretty much okay."

"You came here for breakfast the next morning, didn't you?" Angela asked, trying to work out the dates in her head. Brooke nodded, still feeling guilty about leaving Haley alone in the hospital that day. "That's why you guys were being all cutesy on the phone, cause she was in the hospital?"

"No, because we're in love," Brooke corrected her. She still couldn't believe that her mother didn't understand the concept of being in love. She assumed that the only reason she'd have to tell Haley she loved her was because she was hurt. "We always talk to each other that way. Then again, you'd know that if you were ever around."

"So this is what this is all really about?" Angela asked, letting out a sigh as Brooke began to get bitter, it was always the same old thing that they fought over. "The fact that I'm not around enough? You don't seem too bothered by it when you get your allowance."

"What all of what is about?" Brooke questioned. Was this a new record for them? It's been maybe two minutes and they're already fighting. No, if anything, this is good for them. "You're the one that came to my room to talk to me, okay? I didn't ask to have this conversation."

"But it's always the same…" Angela stopped herself, biting her tongue. This wasn't going the way she had hoped it would. She wanted to talk about Brooke and Haley's relationship, not her's and Brooke's, that conversation would take a lot longer to get through. "Look, I just wanted to apologize about what happened last night."

"You do?" Brooke asked in surprise. She couldn't remember the last time that her mother had apologized about something.

"When Peyton came down and told us that you guys were asleep," Angela began to explain. "I told them to let you guys stay here for the night. After Peyton and Haley's sister left, Karen said somethings to me."

"Did she tell you how to be a mother?" Brooke mumbled under her breath. She glanced up and saw the look on her mom's face and she assumed that meant she heard what she said. She slumped her shoulders, feeling bad about what she had said. As much as she hated to admit it, her mother tried her best. "I didn't mean that. You're not the only one to blame for the way our relationship is."

"She just told me that I needed to get over myself and accept your relationship with Haley," Angela continued, hiding the smile that threatened to appear at Brooke's words. She had been waiting forever to hear her say something like that. "She told me that if I wanted to be in your life, then I would have to accept that Haley will be in it too. If I didn't, then I'd lose you, and I don't want to lose you."

"So what are you saying?"

"I'm saying that if you'd like to start over again, I'd be more than willing to do that," Angela explained. It hurt her to have to swallow her pride like that, go against he beliefs and allow this to happen in her house, but ultimately her family won out. Not many people would believe it, but she was willing to do anything for her family.

"Really?" Brooke asked, slight excitement creeping into her voice. She always denied it to anyone that asked, but her mother's approval really did matter to her. And when she wasn't around, it hurt her more than she tended to let on.

"Really." Angela smiled at the excitement that could be heard in her voice. "Your father and I have to be somewhere this week, but if Haley's willing to give me another chance, I'd love to have dinner with the two of you next weekend."

"Thank you, mom," Brooke told her, genuinely thankful for her mother's new found attitude. She got up and gave her mother a hug. "That means a lot to me."

"You're welcome."

Mr. Davis stood at the entrance of the room, coffee in hand as he watched the two most important women in his life. He always knew that if one of them would just swallow their pride, then they could get along just great. He watched them for a moment longer before heading in the direction of the kitchen.

...WWHT…

"She really said that?" Haley asked as she shut the passenger side door of Brooke's silver Bug. By the time Brooke had woken her up and they had gotten dressed and showered, the Davis' had already left for their vacation, leaving Brooke to tell her girlfriend about their plans for next weekend.

"I'm still as shocked as you are," Brooke laughed, coming around from her side of the car to meet Haley. When she finally reached her side, she gave her a quick kiss before lacing their fingers together and walking towards Haley's front door. "It was so surreal."

"It sounds like it," Haley agreed, glancing over at Brooke. She couldn't help but noticed the thousand watt smile on Brooke's face. She was so happy to see that Brooke was finally starting to get her life together. Now all she needed was to work things out with her parents and things would be perfect.

"We'll have to thank Karen the next time we see her," Brooke suggested, waiting for Haley to find her key so they could get into her house. She was surprised thatTaylor remembered to actually lock the door, normally she forgot and it would go left open all night, something that usually scared Brooke when she wasn't there to check it.

"Oh, maybe we can get her a nice gift basket!" Brooke laughed at Haley's excitement and shook her head. How she ever got so lucky to get a girl as amazing as Haley, she'll never know. Without warning, she leaned forward and captured Haley's lips with her own, pressing her against the still closed door.

The feelings that spread through her were much like the ones she had felt the night before when they were making out on her bed. She knew that things weren't going to get as far as they did last night, since it was the broad daylight and they were outside for anyone to see, but for some unknown reason, she just suddenly felt the need to be against Haley.

"Wow," Haley breathed once they pulled their lips apart. She quickly glanced around to make sure that no one had seen them. Luckily, it was still too early for most people to be outside. Haley giggled and brought a hand up to Brooke's lips to feel just how swollen they were. "Not that I'm complaining, but what brought that on?"

"You're just so cute," Brooke answered, closing her eyes as Haley traced the inside of her bottom lip. "It's just, now that my parents know and everything, it just seems so official, you know? I mean, my mom's never even meet any of my other boyfriends. It's just so cool and I suddenly had this urge to kiss you."

"Sounds like a nice enough reason," Haley blushed. She didn't think she'd ever see the day when Brooke Davis would be her official girlfriend. Sure, they had been officially dating for a while, but know that people knew, it just seemed that much more official. It seemed like everyday they were getting closer to that white picket fence.

"Come on, baby," Brooke said, pulling back from Haley's body and letting her free. She reached for the doorknob that had already been unlocked and turned it, opening the door. "Let's go wake up that deadbeat sister of yours," she suggested as she pulled Haley into the house and shut the door. They started making their way through the house.

"Then we can call Pey and we can go over to Karen's to celebrate," Haley agreed, walking into the living room. Brooke nodded and wrapped an arm around her waist. Just as she was about to say something, a sight on the couch caught her eye.

"Aww," she gushed, pulling Haley to a halt before she went any further. Haley looked at her confused for moment, until she saw where she was looking. Her gaze traveled over to the couch where Peyton and Taylor were snuggled up under a blanket, sound asleep. "Look at them!"

"Aren't they just the cutest?"

"Well, second cutest," Brooke corrected her, giving her a noisy, wet kiss on the cheek. Haley giggled at the feeling and turned back to look at her best friend and sister.

"I wonder what happened her last night," Haley mused, pulling away from Brooke and moving to start cleaning up the mess that the two girls had made. Brooke watched Haley bend down with a smile, enjoying the view. She quickly wiped the smirk off her face as Haley turned back around. "A little help here, missy?"

"Nah, I like it right here, good view," Brooke teased. She quickly started cleaning when she received a glare from Haley. Once they had everything cleared up and the dishes were in the sink, they were standing in front of the sleeping couple, arguing over what they should do.

"Should we wake them up?"

"No, let them sleep," Brooke decided. "Look how cute they are."

"Okay," Haley shrugged, starting to walk away.

"How great is this?" Brooke asked excitedly, which brought Haley to a halt and turned her back around with a sigh. This is where Brooke gets a stupid plan. "If Peyton and Taylor get together, then Peyton will be like your sister in law, which would make her like my sister in law, we could all be one big happy family!"

"Brooke, they're not a couple."

"We can go on double dates," she continued, completely ignoring Haley's comment. She was not going to let something as unimportant as logic get in the way of her fun. "We can have a double wedding and our kids can grow up together…"

"Brooke," Haley interrupted, wanting to make sure that she got her attention before things got out of hand. She grabbed her by the shoulders and spun her around to face her. "Peyton and Taylor are not a couple. Peyton is dating Jake and Taylor is currently dating what's his name, okay? They just had a movie night and fell asleep on the couch. Nothing else, okay?"

"But, Hales…"

"Okay?" Haley repeated, wanting to make sure that Brooke understood that she was not to get involved in this or try to cook up some stupid plan to make this happen. Brooke let out an overdramatic sigh, as if all her hopes and dreams had been shattered.

"Okay," she agreed. Haley smiled at her, glad that she was letting this go.

"I'm going to go call Karen and tell her that we're coming," Haley told her, giving her a kiss before pulling away from her. "Can you wake them up?"

"Sure thing," Brooke told her, giving her a bright smile as she walked out of the room. As soon as Haley was out of sight, Brooke's sweet smile turned into a devilish one as she turned back around to face the sleeping girls.

Oh, they were going to get together, all right. Whether Haley liked it or not.

...WWHT…

That's all she wrote, or all I wrote. I hope that you liked it and are enjoying where this is going. I think this is definitely coming to an end soon, but I'm not sure how many more chapters I'm going to do. Please tell me what you think, and I'll be sure to take everyone's opinions into consideration. Thanks for reading.
