Hey Guys

Here we go again. I'm still in awe that we have gotten past 50 chapters and are now on 55. What a trip we have taken. I think after this chapter I'm going to move on to the week before finals for them just to move the story along a little. For every one who asked how I did on my finals last week I got my grades last night for my Health and Legal class I got an 84 for my final overall grade, and for my computer class I got a 91 for an overall final grade.

LuvAngel448: Your wish is my command. Here is your update…lol.

Brucas03: I am too. I'm actually surprised how the chapter turned out last night.

PaulineJ: Thank you. Moving them all back to the state is going to make it so much easier on me as a writer. It's hard to write telephone conversations.

MARIALAFFERTY: thank you for your review and I'm also happy that they are all coming home.

DanaJaycee: I figured I would show that she was only really half paying attention to Lucas when he was talking to Keith and Karen. Tell your son happy birthday for me. That's the joy of having family over, the ability to get rid of them the next morning.

jeytonlover: Neither can I at this point.

Team Frank: Thank you. And Welcome back.

Love,

Emily

The next morning Brooke and Lucas got up and went to their classes, just as they would on any given morning. But for the first time since Brooke moved to Boston they both felt at peace not only with their relationship, but also with every aspect of their lives together. They had decided to drive home when they went back at the end of May, since they both had small pieces of furniture to bring home.

Brooke decided to call Peyton and tell her the news as she got up off the floor where she was sitting still cutting patterns out.

"Hello?"

"P. Sawyer what are you doing?"

"Hey Brooke, not much just trying to get 'Cinderella' out of my head and Art History in, why what's up?"
"Luke and I have some news."

"You're not pregnant are you?" Asked Peyton concerned.

"No, and if I was would that be such a bad thing?"

"Not at all just the way you said that you and Luke had some news, I didn't know."

"I understand, but that's not the news, Luke and I are moving home for good in May."

"What do you mean for good?"

"Like we're not moving back to Boston in September, we're staying in Tree Hill." Said Brooke.

"Really? Brooke that's great because then Jenny will get to know her Auntie Brooke and Uncle Luke better." Said Peyton.

"Peyton, what do you mean, she'll get to know us better?"

"Oh that's right I haven't told you yet, well Jake and I decided that Seattle isn't right for us or Jenny so we're moving back for good too. The details aren't all worked out yet but that's the plan, so where are you guys going to be living?"

"Wait, Peyton you guys are leaving Seattle, and to answer your question we're going to be living at Keith and Karen's."

"Yeah, we want Jenny to know our parents and you guys more than just the people she sees on holidays, so we're coming home."

"Peyt, that's great. You just made this day even better." Said Brooke.

"We thought so, so when did you decide to move back?" Asked Peyton.

"Yesterday, and then we talked to Keith and Karen and told them we wanted to come home for good and they said yes. So have you talked to Larry and Jake's parents?"

"Well, I was going to call my dad when you called. Hopefully he'll be happy."

"Are you kidding Larry will be ecstatic so won't Lorna and Bruce." Said Brooke.

"I know so listen not to cut this short or anything but I have to call and try to catch my dad before someone else tells him so can I call you later?"

"Absolutely, we'll be in my room tonight." Said Brooke.

"Okay. Bye Ho."

"Bye." Said Brooke.

Brooke turned around when she heard the door open and noticed it was Lucas walking in from his last class of the afternoon.

"Hi, Honey."

"Hey, so did you have a good day?" Asked Lucas as kissed her hello.

"Yeah, which just got better now that you're home and I got some pretty good news from P. Sawyer a couple minutes ago."

"Really what's that?"

"Well it seem we're not the only ones that missed home." Said Brooke.

"What do you mean?"

"Jake, Peyton, and Jenny are moving home for good also." Said Brooke smiling.

"Are you serious?"

"Would I joke about something like this?"

"Well that's great that our family will be together again, did you tell her that we were going back too?"

"Yeah, when I first told we had news she thought I was going to tell her I was pregnant, so I had to quickly tell her that we were moving, so she didn't go into a rant about it." Said Brooke as she sat on Lucas' lap.

"You did tell her you weren't right?"

"Of coarse I told her I wasn't pregnant." Said Brooke

Meanwhile, in Seattle Peyton hung up with Brooke and decided to call Larry. She knew that he hadn't gone back to work yet so now was a perfect opportunity to get in touch with him.

"Hello?"

"Hey Dad, how's it going?"

"Fine honey what's up?"

"Not much, um actually I wanted to run something by you, something important." Said Peyton suddenly nervous.

"What is it, Peyton?"

"Dad, Jake and I want to come home for good, not just for the summer, we want Jenny to grow up around her family and I never thought I would say this, but I miss Tree Hill."

"Peyton, come home if Seattle isn't right for you guys come home." Said Larry.

"Thank you Dad, I just have a favor to ask and I don't know how you will feel about this but can we stay at your place I know it's a lot to ask."

"Peyton, you guys are more than welcome to live here, we can fix up the spare room and make that Jenny's room and don't worry about a thing all I ask is that you and Jake stay in school, that is my one condition." Said Larry.

"Thanks Dad, so have you talked to Keith or Karen within the last 12 hours or so?"

"No why?"

"Well I got a call from Brooke and it turns out that Boston didn't agree with her and Lucas so they're moving home also for good."

"Well all my children are coming home this is a good day. Did she say why?"

"Not really, I didn't get into too much detail I'm sure if you go find either Keith or Karen they can fill you in more than I can at this point." Said Peyton as she noticed Jenny sound asleep from the movie."

"So are you guys flying or driving?" Asked Larry.

"Driving, it's the only way we can get the car back home, and Lucas better be prepared to do a tune up because it's going to need one after this trip." Said Peyton.

"Well when you guys get here we'll get started on her room that way she can help and maybe pick a color to paint the walls or something."

"Cool, would you mind if I did like a mural for her on the wall?"

"Peyton, I'm not even going to answer that question, you know you can do anything you want to." Said Larry.

"I was just checking that's all." Said Peyton.

"Okay, well honey I would love to talk more, I am leaving in the morning for two weeks and I have a date with Deb tonight that I have to get ready for. So I will talk to you when I get back?"

"Of coarse Dad, thank you for everything." Said Peyton.

"Your welcome honey, give Jake my best and kiss the princess for me."

"I will, she put herself down for a nap, and I am not about to disturb her but I will give her a kiss for you." Said Peyton as Jake walked in the door and she motioned for him to be quiet as he kissed her.

"Okay honey I'll talk to you later."

"Go get ready for your date and I'll talk to you when you get back, I love you Dad. Be safe."

"I will sweetie, and I love you too. Bye."

"Bye."

Peyton and Larry hung up and Peyton then turned her attention to Jake.

"Hey, so I have great news for you." Said Peyton as she kissed Jake.

"Yeah, what's that?" Asked Jake.

"Well that was Dad and he said that we could move into the house, and he said he wanted to redo the extra bedroom for her. And it looks like we aren't the only ones not liking being away from Tree Hill."

"What do you mean?"

"I talked to Brooke and apparently Lucas and Haley's conversation got him thinking and he and Brooke talked about it last night and they are going to be moving back to Karen and Keith's."

"For good?" Asked Jake.

"Yeah, I just hope she isn't mad at me right now."

"Why?"

"Well when she called she said her and Lucas had some news and I asked her if she was pregnant and she took it kind of harshly, I don't think she is but I don't know." Said Peyton.

"I don't think Brooke's mad at you, because if she was you and I both know she would have come right out and said she was." Said Jake.

"You're right, but when I talk to her later I'm going to ask her just in case." Said Peyton.

"Okay, so when did Jenny go down?"

"Um, probably about 20 minutes ago." Said Peyton.

"Well let's leave her there for now and I will call my parents and tell them." Said Jake.

"Hello?"

"Hi Mom."

"Hi Jake, what's going on?"

"Not much, um I wanted to tell you something."

"Jake, stop being cryptic and just get to it." Said Lorna.

"Yes, well uh Peyton and I want to move back to Tree Hill for good, Seattle isn't right for us and we want to raise Jenny around family, which will get even easier to do since Brooke and Luke are moving back also." Said Jake.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, we talked about it and this is what is best, and since Larry is gone on the boat so much we're going to live at his place. And we're going to fix up the extra room so Jenny can have her own room. So what do you think Mom."

"I say, when do you get here?"

"Well right after finals, we're going to drive that way we can get the car back also." Said Jake.

"Good as long as you are here for the wedding, welcome home sweetie." Said Lorna.

"Thanks, and don't worry Peyton and I are both going to enroll in school down there."

"Good, as long as you guys have a plan I support your decision fully Jake." Said Lorna.

"Thank you Mom, can you tell Dad for me? I would but Peyton has to call Brooke and Hales back."

"I will tell your father for you."

"Thanks Mom.

"Bye sweetie."

"Bye."
