A/N: One of my longer chapters for this story that's why it took so long to get up. Many of you were wondering how the Peyton and Derek thing would play out in my story or rather Peyton and Ian, but I just found it hard to make my own and nothing I could've come up with would have been any good so I kept it the same…Also in this episode is where Nathan finds out Haley is pregnant only in my story he already knows so I had to tweak that a little bit and this is the final product. Enjoy

"Mommy, daddy," Sophia says as she crawls into her parents bed. Lucas and Brooke were still sleeping and cuddled into each other's arms. "Wake up, please," Sophia whispers.

Brooke cracked an eye open when she heard her daughter's voice. It really was a nice way to wake up especially when Sophia would wiggle her way in between her parents and Sophia would play with the strands of her mother's hair.

Sophia says her mom's eyes open and she smiled brightly.

"Mommy, awake."

Brooke moved her arms to hug her daughter tightly. Enjoying the contact, Sophia cuddled into her mother and pushed her legs under the covers.

"Yes, sweetie, mommy's awake. What are you doing up cuddle bug?" Brooke whispers trying not to wake her husband who was sleeping peacefully. He had been working out more than normal to get back into game shape. He was worn out.

"I love you, mommy," Sophia says before kissing Brooke's chin.

Brooke smiled adoringly at her daughter. She loved moments like these and growing up without them only made Brooke want more with her daughter.

"I love you; too, sweetie, but you didn't answer my question."

"No tired no more," Sophia explains sweetly.

Brooke chuckles softly and places a kiss in Sophia's brown hair. A soft snore broke the silence in the bedroom. Sophia looks at her father and sighs with a smile.

"Daddy snores."

Brooke cracks up with laughter.

Nathan was sitting at the table in his apartment eating when his phone rang. Nathan looked at the ID and answered the phone.

"Hello? Yes, sir," Nathan chuckles. "A full scholarship…yes sir. Tell Coach K I won't let him down. Thank you."

Nathan hangs up the phone and pumps his fist in the air.

"Haley!"

Haley comes out of the bathroom with a yawn.

"I'm going to Duke."

"I got a full ride to Stanford."

Nathan looks at his wife in shock.

"What? I thought that you applied to Duke."

"I applied to both, but Stanford was the one willing to give me a full ride."

"How?" Nathan questions in disbelief.

"With helping in the tutor center and my good grades and our financial status and marital status…I'm going to Stanford."

"How long have you known?"

"A few weeks," Haley responds gently.

"A few weeks? Haley?"

"Nathan, I didn't know how to tell you. Duke's your dream, but Stanford is mine."

"I've got to go," Nathan says as he makes his way to the door.

"Nathan, where are you going? How do you feel about this?"

"I feel like you should have told me a few weeks ago. That's how I feel, Haley."

Jake quickly gets out of his car and brings Peyton's jacket with him. He had seen Peyton walking towards him.

"Peyton! Here's your jacket."

Peyton looks at her boyfriend excitedly.

"You found it," Peyton says as she digs through the pocket. "Damn, the picture of Ellie is gone."

"That is your jacket right?" Jake questions a little unsure.

Peyton nods her head.

"Your jacket was on a girl in the hospital."

"Is everything okay?" Peyton questions in fear that her boyfriend could be hurt.

"Yeah, Jenny was just running a high fever, but everything is fine. Anyway, I'm telling you this jacket was on a girl in the hospital."

"Okay, creepy and weird, but why do I have a feeling that you are going to bring Derek up next."

Jake sighs.

"The other night at Tric, when he hugged you goodnight, he kind of…he sniffed your hair."

Peyton starts laughing.

"Jake, come on!"

"No, look and then your jacket goes missing…"

"Stop!"

"-Ends up on some hooker in the hospital wearing a blonde wig and whose dressed like you."

"Whoa-whoa-whoa, wait. How do you know she was a hooker?"

Jake shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know. She looked like a hooker."

"Thanks. Look, I know you're a little bit jealous of him…"

"Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa, I'm not jealous of him."

"So instead of a girl stealing my jacket, you think that Derek stole it and put it on a woman who may or may not be a prostitute. Is that what you think?"

"Honestly, yeah," Jake says as he turns to Peyton.

"Jake, come on. This is important to me, okay? Having a family and having Derek. He's been nothing but good to me. So just don't make me doubt him, please."

"I'm just trying to watch out for you, Peyton."

"I know and I thank you, but how about you just bodyguard me to English class?"

Jake and Peyton walk further down the side walk, unaware that a certain blonde haired man was watching them or rather watching Peyton.

Brooke and Haley sit in the quad. Brooke places her books on the table and turns to her friend.

"Tell me what's going on with you and Nathan. I saw Nathan kind of storm down the apartment complex."

"I got a full scholarship to Stanford."

Brooke smiles at her friend.

"Haley, that's great."

"Nathan got a full ride to Duke."

Brooke instantly winces.

"That sucks. Haley, what are you going to do? You and Nathan are having a baby. You can't go to separate schools. That would be too much, how would you think my niece or nephew would feel?"

Haley felt what Brooke said was a huge blow. She was using her unborn child against her.

"I don't know Brooke. Our dreams schools are miles and miles away from each other and I told Nathan I was going to Stanford."

"I can't help you honey. The only decision I make that actually makes a difference is when it comes to my daughter who was absolutely adorable this morning."

"What happened?"

"She crawled into bed with Lucas and me this morning. She and I had a quiet conversation while Lucas slept, but then he started snoring. Sophia looked at Lucas, sighed with a smile and said 'daddy snores.' I just about died."

Haley places a hand on her stomach.

"I hope I get that with my child."

"You will," Brooke reassures.

"Not if Nathan chooses Duke," Haley says solemnly.

After school Peyton had gone on her computer and started to IM Lucas. Or what she had thought was Lucas until the messages had gotten creepy. With one phone call, to Lucas, Peyton had started to doubt was going on. There was a distinct mistake when typing in which the letter y would be typed twice.

When she went into the email where she had saved the conversations with her brother she had noticed the same mistake.

Now Peyton had found herself into Derek's hotel room. She went to his computer and found herself as his desktop and freaked out internally. She opened a blank document and typed the letter Y. It came as two of them. Peyton then noticed something on the floor; she picked up the picture that had been missing from her jacket. Peyton quickly shoves the picture into her back pocket when she realizes that Derek was in the room.

"Ho, Peyton. Who let you in here?"

"Your door was open," Peyton said with a laugh trying to calm her nerves. It wasn't working.

"That's odd."

"Yeah, so here's the deal. You know I've really enjoyed having you around, but school's gonna be really busy. So maybe you should just go back to St. Flora now."

"It's Jake isn't it? He doesn't like me."

"No."

"He's sabotaging our relationship."

"No, Derek. It's not Jake. I mean it's my dad. He's back from sea now so I have to; I have to spent time…"

"He's not even your real father!" seeing the look on Peyton's face he apologizes. "I'm sorry Peyton. I've always imagined what it'd be like to know you. You know to really get inside you. Now I can never imagine not knowing you. Not mattering to you."

Peyton heads to the open door.

"I matter to you, don't me, Peyton?"

"Yeah," Peyton whispers.

"More than Jake?" Derek asks as Peyton walks out the door.

"Goodbye Derek."

-Changes-

Jake had been waiting for Peyton to return home so he could tell her about what he had said to Detective Wilcox, but when Peyton had come up to him with Ellie's picture and a whole explanation, Jake was getting really worried for his girlfriend. He had her go pack a bag. When they walked inside Peyton's house, they didn't see that car that Derek was in.

-Changes-

"Mommy, where is daddy?" Sophia questions as they enter their apartment.

"Sweetie, your daddy's working out again."

Sophia pouts and crawls up onto the couch. There was one downside with Lucas being hone all the time and that was that he spent less time with his daughter. He did however make sure he read a story to her before she went to bed.

Brooke kneels down in front of her daughter.

"Baby, I know daddy's not home right now, but don't you want to hang out with me?"

Sophia crosses her arms and shakes her head.

"You're going to make me cry," Brooke says as she sticks out her bottom lip just like her daughter.

Sophia gasps in surprise. She didn't want that to happen.

"No mommy, no cry!"

Sophia jumped down from the couch and into her mother's lap. Brooke had her hands in front of her face. Sophia removed them and kissed her mother.

"No cry no more. I play with you."

Brooke fake sniffles.

"Okay."

-Changes-

Haley walks into her apartment looking for her husband.

"Nathan?"

Haley sees Nathan walk out of their bedroom in a suit and tie.

"Hi."

"I'm having a press conference to announce that I'm going to Duke."

Haley looks at Nathan in surprise.

"I thought we agreed we'd make that decision together."

"Well plans change, don't they?"

Haley was in the kitchen when she sighed and looked at her husband.

"Everyone has congratulated me today about going to Stanford and telling me how wonderful it is except you."

"A part of me does think it's wonderful."

"A part of you?"

"Haley, what do you want me to say?"

"I want you to say that, whatever it is, we're gonna face it together and you've never been so happy and everything's gonna be okay."

"Haley, I don't want to lie to you. This whole thing scares me to death. ? We're having a baby and we want to go to separate schools," Nathan sighs. "Look, do you want to come with me?"

"To Duke?"

"To the press conference."

"I can't. I can't do that right now."

Nathan shakes his head and starts towards the door.

"You know what Nathan. It is really not about what schools we go to or what dreams we have because whatever you want, I want that for you."

"You're not going to make me feel guilty about this. You're not."

-Changes-

Haley walks into Brooke's apartment with a sad look on her face. Sophia and Brooke had been coloring on the floor.

"Auntie Haley!" Sophia shouts as she runs up to her aunt.

Haley smiles at her niece and hugs her tightly, or as best as she could for being six months pregnant.

"Nathan's going to Duke."

Brooke nods her head and gets up from the floor.

-Changes-

Jake closed his phone after getting off with the Detective. He and Peyton had just arrived for Nathan's press conference.

"They got him," Jake says with a smile. "They want me to go down and talk with the detectives some more. Are you going to be okay?"

Peyton smiles and nods her head.

"Yeah, just come to my house after okay?"

Jake nods his head.

"You bet you," Jake says before kissing Peyton soundly. "I'll see you soon."

-Changes-

Brooke, Haley, and Sophia were cuddled onto the couch and watching the TV. Nathan's press conference was about to start.

"I'd like to present a young man with an enormously bright future, Nathan Scott."

When Nathan appeared on the screen Sophia grinned and clapped her hands.

"Uncle Nathan."

"As many of you know, I called this press conference today to announce where I plan to play basketball in college. I've had a lot of great offers, but it's always been my dream to play at Duke University. So, that's where I plan to go. But today I learned that my wife, Haley got a full ride to Stanford. She's also pregnant with our child. And while it's an absolute honor to be recruited by Duke University, I guess what I have to say to you today is this. Where I play basketball, if I play basketball is no longer a decision for me to make alone. It's a decision that I'll make with my wife and my family's best interest at heart. And when I do, I'll let you all know."

Haley and Brooke had tears in their eyes. Sophia was confused.

"And my wife couldn't be here today, so I just wanted to say one thing to her. Haley, no matter what happens, we'll face it together. But I promise you, I've never been happier. Everything's gonna be okay. I love you. Thank-you."

"I love you, too," Haley whispers as she wipes her eyes.

"Me too," Sophia says with a smile. She knew those words.

-Changes-

Jake and Detective Wilcox walked down the hall.

"That number you gave us led us right to him."

"Yeah, I'm just glad he's not out there."

Jake looks in the window.

"That's not him."

"Son, that's Derek Sommers from St. Flora, North Carolina. Same phone number as the one in the letter you gave us."

"That's not him," Jake says in a serious tone. Jake's eyes widen. "Peyton!"

-Changes-

Peyton arrives home from the press conference when her cell phone rings.

"Hey."

"They got the wrong guy."

"What?"

"Derek. He's still out there. Don't go home."

Peyton turns around and Derek is leaning against the car. She gasps.

"Hey, Jake. I gotta go. I just got home and my dad's waiting for me, plus Derek's here."

"No-no-no-no! Wait! Didn't you hear me?"

Peyton hangs up the phone.

"Hey, Derek, look, you know what, I told you my dad's home now," Peyton says as she fiddles with her keys.

"No, he's not."

Peyton runs up to her front door.

"I locked it Peyton. Peyton!"

Derek grabs Peyton's shoulders.

"Don't you know how much I love you?" Derek says as he nuzzles into Peyton's cheek.

"Oh, god, Look, look, Derek," Peyton says as she slowly pulls out a spray. Peyton sprays him and Derek groans in pain. Peyton unlocks her door quickly and locks it from the inside.

"That wasn't very nice, Peyton."

Peyton runs to her house phone.

"You better get out of here. I'm calling the cops."

"I don't think so," Derek says as he looks in the side window by the front door. "You see, you dropped your cell phone on the porch and the house line, well, it's dead."

"Leave me alone!"

Derek punches in the window and Peyton screams. Derek makes his way inside the house. Peyton quickly runs upstairs. Peyton makes it to her room and Slams the door shut. While Derek is pounding on the door, Peyton looks around the room and notices all the pictures of her hung up, everywhere.

"Don't you know we're supposed to be together?"

Peyton is trying to get her window open, but nothings working. Peyton screams when Derek gets the door open.

"Don't cry, Peyton. I'm here now. I came here for you," Derek says in a haze as he pulls out his tazer.

Jake comes barreling into the room and slams Derek into the ground. Jake punches Derek in the face.

"Run, Peyton!" Jake yells as he continues to punch Derek. Derek grabs a hold of his throat and tasers him in the neck.

"Jake!" Peyton yells when Jake falls to the ground. Peyton slams her lamp against Derek who had been leaning over Jake. Peyton runs to make her escape, but she gets as far as the hall way before Derek gets her. Derek maneuvers a crying Peyton to the door ham and grabs her chin.

"I watched you, Peyton. I listened to you. Everything that you showed me on your webcam. The things that you shared with me on-line. You were talking to me," Derek nuzzles against Peyton's cheek again. "I know you were."

Derek licks Peyton's top lip. Peyton bites Derek's thumb. Derek groans. He head butts Peyton to her bed. She lands on her back. Derek grabs her wrists, but before he can do anything, the real Derek slams fake Derek against Peyton's albums and Peyton gets off her bed.

"Who the hell are you?"

"I'm her brother bitch! Who the hell are you?"

The two men struggled against each other until their positions were reversed. Fake Derek tries to knee Derek in the balls, but Real Derek protects himself until fake Derek slams him to the ground. Fake Derek picks up the taser from the ground.

"It's been real good meeting you."

Both Jake and real Derek start to get off of the floor.

"But there' sonly room for one guy in Peyton's life…"

"No way," Jake says getting his bearings straight.

Jake and real Derek charge at Fake Derek and pushes him out the window. Peyton gets up from her spot on the floor. She cries when she sees fake Derek lying in the grass.

"Hey, Hey, it's okay I'm here. It's okay," Jake says as he wraps Peyton in his arms.

"Who are you?" Peyton asks the man standing next to her.

"I guess I'm your brother."

-Changes-

Nathan walked into his home and was happy that Haley was there.

"I watched the press conference at Brooke's. Sophia was excited when she saw you on the television."

Nathan gives Haley a genuine smile.

"Apparently we have some decisions to make because I don't think I can be away from you or our son or daughter for an extended period of time."

Haley nods her head.

"I can't either."

Nathan walks to his wife and gently places his arms around her.

"Haley, we will figure this out. I mean you still haven't heard from Duke yet and I haven't heard from Stanford. We still have time."

-Changes-

Lucas had arrived home shortly after Nathan's press conference finished. He had gotten home just in time for dinner. He and his family had eaten and where currently in the living room watching a movie. Sophia was cuddled up next to her father and Brooke was on the other side of him.

Brooke had been surprised when Lucas suggested they watch a movie because it had already hit a little after eight and Sophia was in bed by eight every night.

Halfway through the movie, Sophia had started getting sleepy. By the end of the movie, Sophia had fallen asleep. Brooke turned the movie off and looked at her daughter sleeping in her husband's arms.

"Lucas, we shouldn't have put in the movie. We have to get Soph ready for bed now."

Lucas smiled at his wife.

"Brooke, Sophia is easy to wake up. Watch," Lucas says as he demonstrates getting his daughter up.

"Sophia Peyton Scott. You need to wake up, baby girl."

Sophia's eyes slowly open, but then close. Brooke raises an eyebrow. Lucas frowns.

"Sophia, you can't go back to sleep without me reading you a story."

"I want story."

"Then we need you to brush your teeth and get your pj's on and then hop into bed."

Sophia sits up and quickly gets off of the couch and runs to the bathroom. Lucas leans back and yawns as Brooke cuddles into him.

"Sounds like its early bed for us as well," Brooke mentions

"Yeah, I've just been wiped out. I'm sorry I haven't been home as much."

"It's okay. I know you're trying to get back in shape. You are taking your pills, right?"

"Yes pretty girl I am. You don't have to worry about that. I won't ever leave you and Soph like that ever."

"I'm gonna hold you to that Lucas Eugene Scott."

"Please do, Brooke Penelope Scott."

-Changes-

"FREEZE!"

The police had swarmed Peyton's house with their guns drawn.

Jake, Peyton and the real Derek walk out of the house.

"It's okay. I live here," Peyton steps forward. "He's right over here."

Peyton points to the ground where fake Derek once was, only he wasn't there.
