A/N-I got done early so I decided to post early…Hope that's okay!

Lucas walks into Brooke's apartment with a smile on her face. All the boys from the boy draft were called last night by the girls to inform them that they were to spend the Saturday together. So, that's what Lucas was doing.

Lucas walks inside and sees Sophia on the floor with her toy baby on the ground.

"How's my favorite girl?" Lucas asks with a smile.

Sophia looks up from the floor and smiles. She stands up and walks to her daddy with a smile on her face.

"Hi, daddy!"

Lucas picks Sophia up and twirls her in the air.

"I missed you baby girl."

Brooke comes from her bedroom and smiles at the sight in front of her.

"Okay, boyfriend, do you have any idea on what we are going to do today?" Brooke asks with a smile.

Lucas walks over to Brooke with Sophia in his arms.

"I was thinking that we could go to the park and watch our daughter play around while we talk."

Brooke smiles and nods her head.

"I love that idea."

"So explain to me why you decided we should be here," Haley states as she takes a seat at the picnic table.

Nathan smirks and sits down. "Well this is the place where you first started tutoring me."

Haley smiles and grabs her husband's hand.

"Well I love how you went old school on me."

Nathan shrugs his shoulders with a smile.

"I figured I could charm you once in awhile."

"I love you Nathan Scott."

"I love you too Haley Scott."

Peyton parks her mustang in front of an unfamiliar house, but what she sees on the front porch makes her smile wide. Peyton gets out of her car and walks closer to the man standing on the porch.

"It's great to see you Peyton."

"I missed you Jake," Peyton whispers before kissing Jake softly on the lips.

Jake pulls away and grabs Peyton's hand. They walk inside the house.

"So, you have to explain to me this whole boy draft thing," Jake says with a smile once they reach the couch and sit down.

"Well the girls on the team have been fighting over guys and Brooke came up with the idea of just picking one boy and sticking with them. I chose you."

Jake smiles, "I'm glad you did if I get to see you."

Peyton blushes and looks around the house. It's pretty bare and a little rundown.

"So, where is Jenny?"

Jake takes a breath. "She's with Nikki."

Peyton's eyes open in surprise. "But didn't you try and get away from her."

Jake nods his head. "Yeah, but when I went to court the judge ordered temporary custody to Nikki's parents and since Nikki is currently living there she gets to see Jenny most of the time."

"I'm sorry Jake."

"It's okay. If I don't screw up within the next couple of months I can get full custody of Jenny. That's the whole reason why I haven't been in Tree Hill Peyton. It's not because I don't love you because I do. I just need my daughter."

"I understand that Jake. I really do."

"Rachel, why did you pick me?" Mouth asks as he takes a seat on Rachel's bed.

"Because you are different then most guys."

Mouth nods his head.

"You know, you aren't like most girls either."

Rachel smiles and then falters when certain memories come to mind.

"I have a lot of secrets Mouth. Some I wish I could tell people, but I can't."

Mouth looks at Rachel with sympathy.

"I'm here if you need me Rachel. I want to be your friend."

"You're a really good guy Mouth. Never forget that."

"Mama, I go swing."

Brooke laughs and let's go of her daughter's hand. She watches as Sophia runs over to the stairs.

"She's growing up so fast."

Brooke smiles as she looks at her boyfriend.

"Yeah, pretty soon she'll be in high school."

Lucas shudders at the idea. "Let's hope she doesn't grow up that fast."

Brooke thinks about it for a moment and then nods her head.

"I totally agree."

Lucas laughs and takes Brooke's hand. He leads them to the closest bench that's closer to Sophia.

"Lucas, I want this. I do, but sometimes I'm afraid that everything is going to fall apart."

"Brooke, I love you okay? Nothing is going to change that. I want to try this and I know I made mistakes, but I want to correct them."

"I love you, too," Brooke says with a smile before kissing Lucas on the lips for the first time in forever to Brooke.

"How are things going with Chris?"

Haley shrugs her shoulders. "Chris says I'm doing fine. I'm halfway down with actually finishing the song, but we do a lot to edit it so it might take awhile."

"That's good Hales. I love when you sing."

"Yeah, well I love it when you play basketball. You're all sweaty and sexy. It's great," Haley says with a small blush.

Nathan smirks, "I wonder what my wife would say if she heard you talk like that."

Haley smiles and leans over the table. "If I were your wife I would never let you go."

"Then it's a good thing that I'm talking to her right now isn't it?"

Haley nods her head. "You bet your ass you are."

Haley leans a little bit further and kisses her husband on the lips.

"So, have you thought about going to find Ellie?" Jake asks after leaning against the doorway from the kitchen.

Peyton shrugs her shoulders. "I've thought about it, but I ask myself if I want to go through with all that hurt. Get to know her just to watch her die. It's hard Jake."

Jake walks over to Peyton and kneels down in front of her.

"I know it is Peyton, but you are the bravest person I have met. You can do this, but only if you want to."

Peyton nods her head. "Enough about me, tell me about you. Are you staying up with school?"

Jake nods his head. "Yeah, I take online classes so that I can work and provide a living for Jenny. I figured I would do that in case I get to go back to Tree Hill soon."

"I hope you get to come back Jake. Everyone misses you."

"I miss them too. Hopefully soon a judge will grant me custody and then Nikki will grow a heart and let me move to Tree Hill."

"You may not know this Mouth, but you are popular. Despite what everyone else may say or think, you are popular. You're not the geek at least not anymore."

Mouth shakes his head. "You've always been popular Rachel. You don't know what you are talking about."

Rachel sighs and stands up and goes over to her dresser and pulls out a picture from the top drawer. Rachel turns around and faces Mouth.

"I never used to be popular Mouth. At my other school, I just stuck to myself and did what everyone expected of me. There was this guy, he was nice and he was a jock, but he wasn't mean. We started dating, but then he transferred before I could say anything," Rachel hands Mouth the picture in her hand. Mouth looks at it in shock. "I was pregnant and alone and then I had that beautiful baby boy."

Mouth looked at Rachel with sadness. He knew something was up considering he never say a baby at her house.

"Where is he?"

"He's dead. He died a few months before I came here."

Mouth hands the picture back to Rachel.

"It explains a lot Rachel. I won't tell anybody, but Brooke's been in that situation…well not exactly, but I mean she's a teen mom and you…were."

Rachel puts the picture back in her dresser and sits down next to Mouth.

"I really like you Mouth," Rachel says before putting her lips on his.
