A/N: This was originally supposed to be longer, but I really don't have the time right now to make it longer so it will be continued in the next chapter. Hopefully I can get that to 3,000 words I just didn't want to get you guys left out on an update so here is one. PROMISE NEXT ONE WILL BE LONGER.

Chapter Twenty-Five: Spring Break Part One

"How does it feel to be halfway through your senior year?" Brooke questions her daughter as she spots her exiting her bedroom.

"It's different. I've been through so much in just a short amount of time and I feel like…I don't know what I feel like."

Brooke brushes the hair off of her daughter's face with a smile.

"I'm sure you figured it out. I also noticed the stack of college applications on the table this morning."

"I can't choose," Sam says with a shrug of her shoulders.

Sam goes to the fridge to grab some apple juice.

It was the second week in March and currently Tree Hill High's spring break. Julian was busy filming his new movie with Alex on point considering she wrote the script. Kelsey was away on vacation with her dad. Brooke had an ordinate amount of free time now that her store was doing better.

"Have you and Kelsey talked about what you're going to do? I'm curious to know if you are going the long distance route for your relationship or if you are going to the same college."

"The only college we applied together was UNC so I'm hoping we both get in. The applications that are on the table are ones that Kelsey has no interest in, but I do. NYU is my second choice and then there are a few in California."

"Why do you want to move far away from me?"

Sam chuckles and quickly hugs her mother.

"It's not about you, mommy. All the schools I have looked into have different things about them that I'm interested in. The only downside I have is whether or not Kelsey and I's relationship can last long distance," Sam pulls away from her mother and sighs. "I just don't know that it will."

"Do you think that I'm rushing this?" Kelsey asks her father as she looks at the small box in her hand.

"I can't tell you what to think Kels. I can only tell you that doing this now could go either way."

Kelsey sighs and places the box on the table in the café.

"I don't want to lose her dad. I love her with all my heart and there are these moments that I get, and it's just for a fraction of a second, but it's enough to let me know that there is a possibility that she and I won't last and that scares the hell out of me."

"Well like I said when you first told me, you have my blessing. Just don't rush the second part of this deal."

Kelsey smiles slightly. "I won't dad. I've thought about this a lot and I think this is where we are headed."

"You're both eighteen. Just know that it will be a very long road."

Kelsey looks up and smiles when she sees a blonde woman walking towards them.

"It seems you may have a long road to go down as well dad."

Trevor turned around and smiled when he saw the familiar blonde in front of him.

"Hello Lindsey."

Lindsey smiled slightly.

"I'm glad you guys could come."

-DG-

"Mom, dad, I know this might be hard for you to hear, but I really need to tell you something. It's important."

"What is it son?"

"I'm gay."

"And cut!" Julian yells as he takes off the headphones on his head. "That was a job well done. You can all go home everybody."

The crew was in a hurry and excited to get the rest of the day off. Alex was smiling brightly.

"This is going kick ass," Alex says with a grin.

"Yeah, I think so too. Sam says that she and Kelsey want to be the first ones to see it. And I'm happy to oblige that."

"That's good, but I'm interested on talking about what you and Brooke have been planning to do for the last few months. Any word from the adoption agency?"

Julian shakes his head sadly.

"No, they haven't gotten back to us yet. I mean we haven't even broached the subject with Sam yet."

"Yeah, but didn't you and Brooke say that you wanted to adopt way before Sam's attack?"

Julian nods his head.

"We did, but we wanted to focus our attention on Sam so that kind of went on the back burner. With Sam going off to college after this summer our house is going to be empty and Brooke and I are still young. Brooke can't carry to full term anymore since the miscarriage six years ago so adoption was our only option."

"I think it's a good thing that you're doing this. Chase and I only wanted one child and adoption was never in our sights. When are you going to tell Sam?"

"Brooke's telling her today."

-DG-

"How come this is the first time I've heard about this?" Sam questions softly.

Brooke had just got done telling Sam about the adoption agency.

"Honey, you were dealing with your own stuff and we didn't want to confuse your feelings."

"Mom, you and dad have to start living your life and not have it focused on me. I love you to death, really I do, but you were born to be a mother and I was surprised that it hasn't happened earlier. I mean I was thirteen when you were pregnant and you looked so happy and the next there was no baby and you looked incredible sad. I think it's great that you want to adopt and I support you and dad whole heartedly."

Sam's words brought tears to Brooke's eyes.

"You don't know how much it means to hear you say that."

"Have you thought about what you're looking for?"

"We want a little boy. I don't think I can handle a baby. All thoughts about babies lead me to the one I couldn't have so we were thinking a boy around maybe five years old or four. It doesn't really matter as long as we get a baby."
