Chapter Two- Home Again
Lucas pulled into the driveway of his mother's house, it was the house that he'd grown up in and he loved it, "Brooke…hey wake up sweetie." He said softly, she had slept the last hour of the trip along with their boys.
He got out off the car and opened the backdoor, "Lucas!" He turned around and smiled, "It's so good to see you!" He smiled as his mother trapped him a bear hug.
"It's good to you see you too, we've missed you." Karen let him go and smiled at Brooke who'd just gotten out of the car.
Brooke ran over and hugged her, "Oh Brooke you look beautiful…and a mommy now, let me see my grandsons." She turned to Lucas who had already gotten Seth out of his car seat and was walking around to the other side to get a sleeping Austin.
Seth smiled up at her holding his sippy cup, "Hi, i'm Seth. You my Grammy?" He asked boldly, Karen smiled this one took after his mommy.
"Yes I am, can I have a hug Seth?" Seth ran into her arms and she lifted him into the air, his hair was dark like this mothers but he had his father's eyes and smile.
Brooke smiled watching the exchange, "Oh Brooke he's a cutie." Karen said through happy tears as she put the wriggling boy down.
"Thanks Karen, Lucas tells me constantly that he's too much like me, there's not a shy bone in his body." Brooke told her mother-in-law proudly. "This one on the other hand…" Brooke began as Lucas came around with Austin who'd woken up and seen his grandmother just to bury his head in his daddy's neck.
Karen smiled remembering how shy Lucas was when he was a baby, "You know I bet that Seth and Austin would just love some chocolate milk." Hearing his favorite drink Austin lifted his head up and turned to face his grandmother. "It's okay buddy." Lucas whispered softly to him, putting him down.
"The boys love chocolate milk." Brooke said softly nudging her baby towards his grandmother. "Broody why don't you get the bags while I get the boys settled?"
"Sure babe." Lucas popped the trunk and got the bags, it always amazed him how much Brooke could manage to bring on a short trip. He hoped that Austin would let Karen love on him, he'd seen how happy she was when Seth ran into her arms.
He walked into the house and smiled, Austin was sitting on his grandmother's lap drinking his milk while Brooke stirred something on the stove. "Hey mom where are we all sleeping?"
"Well I had the basement completely re-done, there's a bathroom and everything down there if you and the boys would like to sleep there, your room up stairs is two small for both you and Brooke and the boys." Karen told him wiping Austin's milk covered face with a washcloth, Seth was telling her all about his family.
Brooke sat down next to him and smiled, "When is everyone else coming?"
At midnight Nathan and Haley arrived at Deb's house, the house still made Haley nervous even though Dan was no longer living there. After his and Deb's divorce and the fire had left him paralyzed he'd moved to Florida.
"I'm exhausted Nate." Haley said that he unlocked the door, the lights were off so he knew that his mom was either out or already asleep, "All that I want to do is just crash into bed. Tomorrow we'll see everyone."
Nathan took a quick shower and crawled into bed, "Haley maybe we should talk about adoption." He said quietly, he knew how much she wanted to be pregnant but it just wasn't happening.
"I've been thinking about it, but maybe we should try Invitro first just to see what happens, please I am open to adoption but I want to see if I can have your child." It was another she'd wanted to come down here, her OBGYN had told her about a doctor in Charleston that could do the procedure. "There's a doctor down in Charleston, before we go back home I think we should at least talk with him."
He slipped his arm around her and held her tight, "Alright Hales we'll talk with him. Good night…I love you."
"Love you too Babe." She said happily for the first time in a long time, she was determined to be a mommy.
Jake's parents had moved to Fla. Shortly after he'd graduated from college. They had left the house to him for when he and Peyton returned. Jake carried his sleeping daughter in and laid her in bed, "Good night angel." He whispered kissing her forehead softly, he couldn't believe that she was getting so big.
"Honey are you ready for bed?" Peyton asked changing into her pajamas, "I want to try and sleep in a little." She said but she knew it was wishful thinking between Jenny and the baby inside her she rarely slept in, and she was excited about seeing their friends again. "I cannot wait until this kid is born, he's active just like you!" She exclaimed happily.
Jake pulled her to him, "He'll be here soon and it could be a girl ya know."
"I know… but since we've decided to be surprised I guess that we should just used to not knowing." Peyton had decided that there weren't enough good surprises in life and so she didn't want to know the gender of the baby…not until he or she was born.
