That's All Chapter Sixteen—Waving Goodbye to Childhood
DISCLAIMER: If I owned them do you really think I'd be sitting here writing this? I'd either be working on season three or hanging out with the cast. I don't claim to own them. Never have. Never will
SUMMARY: So here's a quick recap about what happened in the past ten chapters. Brooke came back to be with Luke. Haley came home and dropped the bombshell about being pregnant to Nathan and everyone else. Peyton hadn't been feeling good for a while and it turned out she was pregnant too (poor Brooke). Turns out Jules was the one that killed Dan Scott, and Keith still doesn't know because he just came back to Tree Hill. That's about it folks. Read on for more.
Thanks to Haylie for the characters name that I will reveal later in the chapter.
Thanks you guys for helping me pass that 100 mark. This is major for me seeing as it's never happened to me before. So thank you. .

July passed uneventfully into August. Nathan had successfully convinced Deb to loan them the beach house for four days as a sort of mini vacation from their real lives. Karen and Andy were right into their wedding plans. Haley is six months pregnant and extremely hormonal. She's actually driving Nathan crazy. Because she's so tiny, Peyton started showing a little bit, and Lucas and Brooke were…well Lucas and Brooke.
"Tigger! You and Lucas decent?" Haley called walking into Brooke and Lucas's with her eyes covered. Last week she had walked in on Lucas and Brooke in the bedroom. "You can uncover your eyes Tutorgirl. Lucas is at work." Brooke said laughing and coming out of her bedroom. Haley laughed. "Karen or Andy catch you two yet?" she asked sitting down on the couch. "No, but we've had some pretty close calls. Yesterday for instance, all I have to say is thank God for that door that leads outside." Brooke replied smiling as Haley shook her head. "I guess its better then random people's hot tubs." She replied. Brooke smacked her arm.
"Who's to say we still don't do that too?" Brooke asked laughing at Haley's horrified look.
"Brooke there is such thing as too much information." Haley said trying to shake off the visual of two of her best friends in a hot tub. Brooke laughed.
"Its part of my charm. So what's up with you Hales?" she asked.
"Nathan is driving me crazy. He is always there. It's making me nuts. So I came here before I lost it. I was thinking we can call Peyton and get the supplies for tomorrow." Haley said.
"Sounds like a plan." Brooke said grabbing the phone.

Lucas looked up when he heard the bells in the door ring. Peyton, Haley, and Brooke came in with tons of bags. "Hey Broody." Brooke said kissing him.
"Hey Cheery" Lucas said kissing Brooke back while Peyton and Haley made gagging noises in the background. Karen came in from the back.
"Hey you three." She said smiling.
"Hi" they said.
"Can I get you guys anything?" Karen asked the girls.
"I'm fine thanks." Haley said
"Water please." Peyton added.
"I'll get it Karen." Brooke said hopping up.
""Don't be ridiculous Brooke. Do you want anything?" Karen said.
"Coffee?" Brooke asked. Karen nodded.
"Listen. I gotta go pack for tomorrow. I'll see you guys then." Haley said leaving. Karen gave Peyton and Brooke their drinks and went into the office to look at the books. "Brooke, Lucas can I ask you guys something?" Peyton asked.
"Sure what's up Goldilocks?" Brooke asked.
"Well, I've been thinking a lot lately about the babies and the future and all that good stuff. And it doesn't look like Jake is coming back anytime soon. So I was wondering if God forbid, something were to happen to me would you take care of the babies?" Peyton asked.
"Of course we would Peyton!" Brooke exclaimed while Lucas nodded his head in agreement.
"But nothing is—" Lucas was cut off by someone walking in the café's door. A girl with light brown hair with blond highlights and blue eyes came walking in. she was pretty in a plain sort of way. The girl walked up to the three and smiled. She checked Lucas out even though Brooke was snuggled up to him. Brooke noticed this and tensed up a bit. "HI. I just moved here last week and I got lost trying to find the high school. Can you tell me where it is from here?" the girl asked.
"Uh sure. Go straight until you hit the first light then turn left and the school is right at the end of the block." Peyton said.
"Thanks. My name is Marissa Evans by the way." She said. Brooke spoke up.
"I'm Brooke Davis, this is my boyfriend Lucas Scott and one of my best friends Peyton Sawyer." Brooke explained smiling.
"Its nice to meet you. I guess I'll see you at school in September." Marissa said smiling and leaving.
"Uh-oh" Peyton said after she left. Peyton too had caught on to the fact that Marissa was checking out Lucas. Lucas, however, was oblivious to this fact.
"Uh-oh what?" he asked cluelessly.
"That Marissa girl was checking you out. And if she tries anything I will kill her." Brooke stated.
"I love it when you get all territorial." Lucas said kissing Brooke.
"I'm gonna go before I puke. I'll see you guys tomorrow." Peyton said getting up.

"Brooke what are you doing?" Haley asked Brooke the next night at the beach house. "I'm cutting up carrots for the salad." Brooke replied giving Haley a 'duh' look. Everyone was making dinner. Lucas and Nathan were outside grilling burgers and corn on the cob, and Haley, Peyton, and Brooke were inside making a salad. "First of all, you need to peel the carrots first Brooke. Second, Peyton already cut some up." Brooke laughed.
"Good to know. So what can I do then?" she asked.
"Cut these cherry tomatoes in half." Peyton said handing them to her.
"Will do." Brooke said picking up her knife.
"Look at them." Haley said dumping some shredded lettuce into a bowl. Brooke looked up and watched Luke and Nate for a minute. They were laughing about something. "Hard to believe that last summer they hated each other's guts." Brooke said smiling.
"Yeah and Nathan and I were still dating. God we were awful together." Peyton said laughing.
"And it was Lucas and me against the world." Haley added smiling.
"A lot changed since then huh?" Peyton asked.
"Its nice. We all balance each other out." Brooke said.
"I remember when I was first thrown into your world." Haley reminisced. "You didn't like me much then did you Brooke?" Haley continued.
"You didn't like me either. And it wasn't you. It was just me being insecure and covering that up by being bitchy." Brooke said.
"Brooke Davis insecure?" Haley teased.
"Shut-up. I'm happy I stopped being a bitch. Don't make me regret it." Brooke said laughing.
"Aw! Brooke your gonna make me cry!" Haley said sniffling.
"Come here Tutorgirl." Brooke said hugging Haley.
"You two are so sappy." Peyton said smiling.
"Way to ruin the moment Goldilocks." Brooke said laughing. Lucas came into the kitchen.
"What's so funny?" he asked.
"Nothing." Peyton replied.
"ok. Well dinner is almost ready so if you ladies would like to join me and Nathan outside." Lucas said kissing Brooke's forehead.
"Sure thing Luke." Haley said picking up the salad bowl. Lucas wrapped his arms around Brooke waist and they followed Haley and Peyton onto the deck.
After dinner the group of five changed into their swimsuits and were laying in the sand enjoying the long days of summer. Brooke sighed contently. "I love the beach." She said.
"Me too,." Nathan agreed.
"I'm going in. anyone care to join me?" Lucas asked.
"I'll come man." Nathan said getting up. The girls said no and Nathan and Lucas exchanged looks. Nathan went for Haley and Lucas went for Brooke. They picked them up, ran into the water and dropped them in. Peyton laughed at them and laid back down figuring she was safe. Nathan however, had other plans. He left Haley laughing her ass off and Lucas and Brooke. Brooke was fake yelling at Lucas about getting her bathing suit wet. (Ryan(mocking Summer): Cohen you almost got my bathing suit wet. Sorry, I had to get that OC reference in here.). he waded up to the shore. Peyton had closed her eyes and Nathan Picked her up and dropped her in the water with the rest of them. "Nate you really are an ass." Peyton said laughing. Nathan got a deviant look in his eyes. He whispered his plans to Haley and Peyton and then they turned to face Lucas and Brooke who were now making out. Nathan counted to three with his fingers and the three friends began splashing Lucas and Brooke. They broke apart. "It is so on!" Brooke exclaimed as a full-fledged water fight broke out. They stayed in the water until sunset and then they changed into dry clothes and sat around a fire talking, laughing, joking, teasing, making out, or at least Lucas and Brooke were, and of course roasting marshmallows. After that they went to bed, waving goodnight to each other and, in a way giving one last wave to their childhood as well.
