8 Years later, Peyton was working for a recording agency. After her work on the cd to raise money for cancer research, she got into collage on a 'Business scholarship'. Now she managed, a few bands, and handed most all of the big events. Some of her favorite artists she managed were Hayley Scott, and of course Chris Keller.

She stood in her kitchen doing up the last of the dishes from the cookout they'd had in the back yard earlier. Everyone was there, Peyton's dad and his new wife. Karen and Keith Scott, Deb Scott, Hayley and Nathan Scott, their two kids Junior and Clara. Lucas and Brook Scott along with Katlyn, Josh, and Carter. And Alex, Tristan and Tristate Alexander and Tristan the 3rd. Peyton's family.

She was softly humming to herself, when she felt strong arms encircle her trim waist. And lips press against her neck.

Then the deep husky voice, start singing in her ear, the song she had been humming. "Every time our eyes meet, this feelin' inside me, is almost more then I can take. Baby when you touch me, I can feel just how much you love me. And it just blows me away. I've never been this close to anyone or anything, I can hear your thoughts, I can see your dreams." Peyton dried her hands and turned in Chris' arms. With a smile, she placed a kiss on his lips. When they pulled back, he caught her hand, and began dancing with her. As he continued to sing. "I don't how you do what you do. I'm so in love with you, it just keeps gettin' better. I want to spend the rest of my life with you by my side, forever and ever. Every little thing that you do, Baby I'm amazed by you."

"Chris, I thought you were outside watching the kids."

"Honey. We can see them through the sliding glass door. Don't worry. Their fine, they'll be in, in a sec and ready for a bath bed and a story. Just dance with me and stop complaining. Besides the next part is my favorite." He spun her out, then back in tight against her body. "The smell of your skin, the taste of your kiss. The way you whisper in the dark. Your hair all around me, Baby you surround me. You touch every place in my heart. You know it feels like the first time, every time. I want to spend the whole night in your eyes." With a smile, he dipped her low. Peyton laughed, and moved to kiss him again.

Both heads quickly turned to the door way when they heard laughing. There in the door stood their kids. Elizabeth Ann, was four and the twins' Christopher Sawyer and Adriana Renee were three. "Daddy, I thought you were going to play with us!" Elizabeth exclaimed.

"I was playing with you. Now I'm talking to mommy."

"Well, can we go back out now?" Sawyer asked.

"No, cause it's time for your baths." Peyton answered.

"But mom!" All three exclaimed.

"Don't but mom me. Let's go, upstairs. Come on." Peyton scooped her oldest into her arms, as Chris picked up the twins, and headed upstairs.

Once the kids were all bathed, dressed and tucked into bed. After their stories, Peyton kissed each of them, and headed back downstairs.

"Peyt, babe. Leave the dishes. I'll do them in the morning." Chris said when he caught her wrist before she got to the stairs, and tugged him back to her.

"Chris.."

"No. Forget it. The dishes can wait, so let them. Come on, how about we go to our room, and draw up a nice hot bath in that big tub of ours. You've been kinda tense lately, with work and all. So, how about you let me give you a nice rub down. And then take you to bed." He grinned and kissed the corner of her mouth. "What do you say, love?" He whispered into her ear.

"Lead on, lover boy." Smiling he scooped her up in his arms and headed into their bedroom. And dropped her on the bed. She giggled as she bounced, then smiled happily up at him. "I love you Chris. So much. Thank you, for being with me, and for the life you've given me. More importantly for our beautiful kids."

Chris kneeled beside her, and looked her directly in the eye. "I love you too, Peyton. And I'm supposed to be thanking you, for those things, not the other way around. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be as happy as I am today. Before we were together it seemed all, I thought about was my music. Now I have a wife and three kids. I have my music too, but it's not nearly as important it me as you four are. Remember that always." Leaning forward, he placed a gentle kiss on her lips. "You wait here, and I'll go and get the bath started."

That night Peyton lay in bed wrapped in Chris' arms. Neither of them was sleeping, just relaxing, talking about everything and nothing at all. It was moments like this that Peyton truly loved. She could remember all there was about her life over the past couple of years. The way her proposed, the ring. The way she felt each time she found out she was pregnant. And how supportive he was through the how ordeal. The way she felt the first time she held, each of her kids. The way she felt when they brought them home. The way Chris looked and smiled at her and their kids. The way he looked in the morning, and how he looked at her, no matter how bad she looked, he looked at her like she was the most beautiful person in the world. She was so glad she went back those years ago. When she realized what, it was she wanted. And what she wanted was him, and her kids, her family. And she had it. Thanks to none other then Chris Keller. She still got a giddy feeling when someone called her Mrs. Keller.

They lay listing to the storm bet down outside. And both knew it wouldn't be much longer before their kids came running into the room, and climbed into bed with them.

Peyton and Chris scooted to their sides and pulled back the covers, as the three kids bounced onto the bed between them. They snuggled beneath the covers and felt warm and safe, there with their parents. Just as always.

It was in those moments that both Peyton and Chris realized what life really was all about. The small things, doing right by their kids, loving them, and each other. They had the family they both had always unknowingly longed for. And they found it in the least like of place. Since neither of them really got along when they had first meet. In fact Peyton wouldn't be far off to say she really kinda hated her. And well, who the heck knew what Chris' deal was back then other then he was a cocky jerk, like 90 of the time. Peyton could pretty much peg the moment her feeling changed each time. The first time loathing changed o a comfort ability on the bus, and the next day when he held her as she cried over talking to Elie. It changed to friendship, when he offered to go with her to see Elie again, and to deal with everything. She thought she loved him after their first time making love. She knew for a fact she did love him when he left the hospital to get her tooth paste, and snacks.

Chris felt drawn to Peyton well, the very first time he saw her. And that night on the bus he knew there was something between them, not what just something. He fell in love with her honestly that first time she came to him that night, crying and needing to be held. He knew he wanted her for the rest of his life the morning after their first time. And now laying there on the bed with his wife and three kids between them, he knew his life was just the way he wanted it to be, the way it was meant to be. He knew both his parents and aunt would be proud of him, and the life he had made for himself, with the help of his wife.

This was life, their life. And they could ask for nothing more. How could they, as for as they were concerned they had it all.

End.

A/n: there it's finished! Finally. Or at least that's what I think. Let me know what you think of the ending, and if there should be more. Thanks for reading and please review.
