A/N-I know it's been awhile, but the end of the school year is vastly approaching and I have spent most of my time preparing for graduation, but anyway…here is the new chapter and I hope you enjoy…
Chapter Twenty-Three: Finalized
1 Month Later:
Brianna walks up to Skye with a smile on her face. She sits opposite of her at the picnic table.
"Hey baby," Brianna says with a smile.
Skye smiles and grabs Brianna's hand.
"Hello there…you look like you have some news…care to tell your girlfriend."
Brianna nods her head.
"Brooke and Peyton are adopting me."
Skye's eyebrows raise and she looks a little shocked.
"When did all of this happen?"
Brianna smiles and kisses Skye's hand before letting it go.
"Well it all started after my dark week…"
Peyton walks into her and Brooke's room and instantly says what is on her mind.
"We need to adopt Brianna."
Brooke looks at her wife with a raised eyebrow.
"Peyton, we already decided that, but I thought we were going to wait on that."
Peyton shakes her head.
"No more waiting Brooke. We need to do it now."
"What exactly did you two talk about?"
Peyton sits down next to Brooke and kisses her softly.
"It doesn't matter, but I want Brianna to be a part of our family."
Brooke smiles and grabs Peyton's hand.
"I'll call the lawyer on Monday and have him draw up some papers."
"When should we ask Brianna?"
"Right now," Brooke says with a smile as she gets off of the bed.
Brooke and Peyton walk into Brianna's room, knocking off course and are happy when they are ushered in.
"What's up guys?" Brianna asks with a raised eyebrow.
"We would like to talk to you about something, something big."
"Okay, what is it?" Brianna asks slowly.
Peyton looks at Brooke and nods her head. Brooke looks at Brianna with a smile.
"We want to adopt you, if you say yes."
Everything is silent for awhile and Brianna takes a deep breath.
"Okay."
Peyton and Brooke's head jerks up.
"Okay?" Peyton asks to make sure.
Brianna smiles and nods her head.
"Okay!"
"Oh my gosh, Brianna, I am so happy for you," Skye says before walking over to Brianna and sitting down in her lap.
"I'm excited about it."
"I bet you are. Baby, this is so great."
"I know," Brianna says before kissing Skye softly on the lips until someone clears their throat behind them. Brianna and Skye pull away from each other and come face to face with two teenagers about their age, one boy and one girl.
"You guys are Skyler and Brianna right?" the guy asks.
Brianna looks at Skye who shrugs her shoulders.
"Depends on who is asking," Brianna responds casually.
"Oh sorry, my name is Chase and this is my sister Chelsea. We are new here and Miss Sawyer said that you guys would be good to meet."
Brianna rolls her eyes and laughs.
"Of course she did. Do you guys want to sit with us?" Brianna asks with a smile.
Chase and Chelsea smile and they take their seats at the table.
"Here is the deal we will get along great if you don't have a problem with two girls in love," Skye states.
Chase and Chelsea look at each other and then back at their new friend.
"I see no problem," Chase says with a smile.
"Yeah, I do have to say that you two have guts because I could never do what you two are doing being out and proud of it," Chelsea adds in.
"You can't help who you love," Skye says as she looks at Brianna.
"Yeah, you can't help who you love," Brianna whispers back.
Brooke walks into Peyton's class room with a smile on her face. It was currently Peyton's lunch hour and she couldn't wait to tell Peyton the good news.
"Baby, it's official."
Peyton looks at Brooke with a smile.
"What's official?"
"We are the proud owners of a 15 year old girl."
"Are you serious?" Peyton whispers as she stands up from her chair and walks over to her wife.
Brooke nods her head with tears in her eyes.
"I'm serious. She's all ours."
Peyton kiss Brooke quickly and hugs her.
"When should we tell her?"
"Tonight…we should tell her tonight."
Brooke nods her head and kisses Peyton one last time.
"I need to get back to the store, but you and I need to talk later," Brooke says as she points at her wife.
"Why?"
"Because we do," Brooke says with a grin before leaving.
"I'll never understand that woman, but god do I love her," Peyton says before sitting back at her desk and eating her lunch.
"So, what made you two move?" Skye asks with curiosity.
"Our dad got a new job do. He moved his practice here."
"What does he specialize in?"
"He's an OB/GYN," Chelsea says with a smile.
Skye smiles and takes a bite of her food.
"Hey baby, how far along is your sister?"
Skye thinks for a few minutes and shrugs her shoulders.
"I think 4 months, but not quite sure. She did get a new doctor though."
Skye looks at Chase and Chelsea and asks a quick question.
"What's your last name?"
"Emery."
Skye starts laughing and Brianna, Chase and Chelsea look at her funny. Once Skye stops laughing she explains her outburst.
"That's my sister's new doctor."
Brianna walks into her home and is surprised to see what she sees. Brooke and Peyton are both at the kitchen counter and they have smiles on their faces.
"What's going on?" Brianna asks as she sets her bag on the couch and walks into the kitchen.
"We want you to read something," Brooke says as she hands Brianna some papers.
Brianna sits down on the stool and reads aloud.
The state of North Carolina in the city of Tree Hill hereby grants the adoption of Brianna Rae Evans to Mrs. Peyton Elizabeth Sawyer and Brooke Penelope Davis-Sawyer…
Brianna looks up at Brooke and Peyton.
"It's final?" Brianna asks with hope.
"It's final," Peyton says with a smile.
Brianna hugs both Brooke and Peyton.
"I have to go tell Skye," Brianna yells before running up the stairs.
"WELCOME HOME!" Brooke and Peyton yell as they watch Brianna's retreating form.
Brooke grabs Peyton's hand and she walks them to the door.
"Come on, there is some place we have to be."
Peyton rolls her eyes and follows her wife.
Brooke and Peyton enter Peyton's getaway and Peyton frowns.
"Why did you have to bring me here?"
Brooke puts her hands on her hips and looks at her wife.
"What? You don't like your new office."
"What do you mean office?" Peyton asks with a raised eyebrow.
Brooke pulls a piece of paper out of her pocket and hands it to Peyton.
"I talked to some people and they told me that this was the guy you needed to see to start your own record label."
Peyton looks at Brooke with tears in her eyes.
"I don't understand…"
"Brianna spilled the beans, but Peyton, you should've been the one to tell me. This is your dream and I am going to support you like you supported me."
"Brooke, I can't do this now."
"Yes, you can. The school year is almost up and you can give Turner your notice and start on what you love to do and before you think about it we are all going to be fine. I do have a successful business so money isn't a problem. Just do this Peyton, you know you want to," Brooke says with a smile.
Peyton hugs her wife and kisses her softly.
"Thank you," Peyton whispers before sucking on her wife's ear lobe making her shiver.
"Peyton, if you continue to do that. We won't be leaving for awhile."
Peyton moans and licks Brooke's neck.
"I think I can handle that."
Brooke laughs.
"Hmm, Peyton come here," Brooke says as she brings Peyton's lips to hers and backs her to the couch.
