A/N-I know I didn't update last week, but I needed to rework the rest of my season, but now that I have I think things will run smoothly. Hope you like the new chapter.

"Are you sure we should do this Nathan?" Haley asks as she packs her clothes.

Nathan turns to his wife and smiles.

"This is your chance Hales. You need to do this."

"Aren't you worried about not passing this year?"

Nathan smiles and shakes his head.

"I married my tutor."

Haley laughs and puts the rest of her clothes in her bag and she grabs her guitar.

"Should we say goodbye first?" Nathan asks.

"I already said bye to Lucas and everyone. The only person I haven't said it to was Brooke."

Nathan grabs Haley's hand.

"Let's go say goodbye."

Peyton walks onto Jake's steps and smiles.

"Hey there beautiful," Jake says with a smile.

Peyton sits down next to Jake and takes Jenny in her arms.

"What are you doing sitting out here?"

Brooke just came to pick up Sophia so Jenny and I decided to stay out her for awhile.

"What's been going on Jake?" Peyton asks with concern.

"Jenny's mother showed up. Peyton I'm scared. I can't lose my daughter."

"I'm going to be here for you, you and Jenny. You're my family and I love you guys."

Jake smiles.

"We love you too."

Nathan and Haley knock on Brooke's door and she opens it.

"Hey guys. Sophia's sleeping so if you could be quiet that would be great."

Nathan and Haley walk into Brooke's apartment.

"So, why are you guys here so late and with bags?" Brooke asks as she sits down.

"I'm leaving…we're leaving," Haley states.

"Why?"

"Chris Keller and the Wreckers want Haley to go on tour with them and they said I can go with so Haley and I are leaving for awhile."

Brooke pouts and gets up to hug Haley.

"I'm going to miss you tutor-girl."

Haley laughs.

"I'll miss you too Tigger."

"When do you guys get back?" Brooke asks as she pulls away from Haley.

Nathan and Haley look at each other and then at Brooke.

"May."

"You two are going to miss your goddaughter's birthday?"

"There's nothing we can do about it, but we will send a lot of gifts or one really good one."

"Good luck you too."

3 Months Later

Brooke walks into her daughter's room and sees her daughter standing up in her crib.

"Hey birthday girl," Brooke says with a smile.

"Mama," Sophia says as she smiles.

"You are so gorgeous my sweet girl, come here," Brooke says as she picks Sophia up and puts her on the ground. "Let's get you into your birthday clothes."

After changing her daughter, Brooke makes her way into her living room with Sophia crawling behind her and is surprised to see Karen, Keith and Lucas already there.

"What are you guys doing here?" Brooke asks surprised.

Lucas was hanging up a banner while Karen was in the kitchen and Keith was fixing Brooke's dishwasher.

"Well Lucas said you needed some stuff fixed and he told me he was going to help set up the party and we figured we could help out," Karen says with a smile.

"You two didn't have to do that. It's your wedding anniversary."

Keith stands up and smiles.

"Yes, but it is also our granddaughter's birthday so deal with it," Keith says with a smile.

"Eif, eif," Sophia says as she crawls into the kitchen.

Keith smiles and wipes off his hands before picking Sophia up.

"How are you birthday girl?" Keith asks even though knowing he wouldn't get an answer. Sophia just smiles. "I take that as a yes."

Brooke laughs and looks around.

"This is all great Lucas, thank you."

"It's not a problem at all."

Keith and Karen glance at each other and smiles. Something was starting and they knew it.

A few hours later people started showing up at Brooke's place. There were only a few in attendance, but it was fine with Brooke. Jake, Peyton and Jenny showed up along with some of the cheerleaders at school. There was cake and ice cream and Sophia managed to get cake all over her face. It was a great picture that Lucas took. Brooke and Sophia opened the presents.

Sophia had gotten some clothes along with a few toys from the cheerleaders. Lucas had gotten a few books and some clothes for Sophia. Jake, Peyton and Jenny got her a few stuffed animals and toys. Keith and Karen gave Sophia a bank account which will be filled every year on her birthday and at 18 she could get into it. The only present that had not come yet was from Haley and Nathan whom they had called and told her it was going to be a little later then they thought.

At the moment, Sophia and Jenny were on the floor playing and everyone else was in the kitchen talking.

"So, have you had any word from Nikki yet Jake?" Brooke asks.

Jake shakes his head and looks at his daughter.

"Not yet, but I'm sure there will be soon."

"Well as long as she doesn't get Jenny that's all I care about," Peyton says sincerely.

Jake smiles and nods his head as he looks at the time.

"I think I should get going, it's getting kind of late, but thanks for inviting me Brooke."

Brooke smiles and nods her head.

"I'm glad you came."

"I'm going to head out with them," Peyton says.

Brooke nods her head and watches as Jake, Jenny and Peyton walk out of the house. Lucas stands next to Brooke.

"They make a great family," Brooke comments.

"Yeah they do."

Brooke looks around her house and frowns.

"Where are your parents?"

Lucas frowns.

"They headed home a little bit ago. I think they're having sex."

Brooke frowns.

"That's gross."

"Totally," Lucas says before Lucas and Brooke start cracking up.

"I'm glad you stuck this out Lucas," Brooke says in a whisper.

"Why wouldn't I?"

"You're right," Brooke says honestly, "but there was still a part of me that thought that you would leave me in the cold."

Lucas brings Brooke into a hug.

"I would never do that to you pretty girl, ever."

Brooke looks at Lucas and smiles before leaning up and kissing him softly on the lips.

A/N-Brooke and Lucas finally kiss. Yeah, but still things will be going slowly for them. There are only 2 episodes left for season 2, but I hope you will like the ending.

I need to know your favorite episodes or scenes from season 3 of OTH so that I can start planning the new season.
