A/N-Here is the last chapter to the first story. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter Twenty-Six: Is Love Enough?

Brooke and Peyton left the doctor's office with smiles on their faces. It was really happening. They couldn't believe it.

"So, we just have to wait awhile and then you take the test to tell us if you're pregnant right?" Peyton asks unsure if she is right or not.

"Yep, in a few weeks we will know if we have to plan for a baby."

Peyton stops walking when a thought occurs to her.

"Brooke, what if you don't get pregnant?"

Brooke kisses Peyton softly.

"Then we will try, try again."

Peyton smiles and nods her head.

Brooke and Peyton get into the car and Peyton starts driving.

"So, have you figured out what you are going to do about your job?"

"I'll finish out this year and then work at the record company. It's my passion, but at least I'll know that I will have a fall back on something in case my record company goes down the drain."

"Let's hope it doesn't do that then."

Peyton nods her head and pulls into her driveway.

"Let's hope."

Skye walks into the main office waiting to see the new student. The doors to Principal Turner's office opens and Turner and a young boy walk out; he had short brown hair and green eyes.

"Ah Skyler, this is Mark Austin. He is the new student I told you about. I'm sure you will make him right at home."

"I will Principal Turner."

Turner walks back into his office and Skye turns to Mark.

"My name is Skyler, but everybody just calls me Skye."

Mark smiles and holds out his hand.

"Mark, everybody just calls me Mark."

Skye laughs and opens the door.

"Well welcome to Tree Hill Mark Austin."

At lunch Skye and Mark walked up to their usual table where Brianna, Chelsea and Chase were sitting.

"Everybody, this is Mark Austin."

Brianna stops her fork in mid air and Mark looks at Brianna with a big smile.

"Oh my god, Marky," Brianna says with a squeal as she jumps out of her seat and gives Mark a big hug.

"Bri, look at you. It's been awhile."

Skye frowned at the interaction between the two where Chelsea and Chase just looked confused.

"Do you two know each other?" Skye asks.

Brianna smiles at Skye.

"Oh, yeah, Skye this is Mark my friend and Mark I guess you already met my friend Skye."

Skye frowned at the word friend. I thought I meant more to her.

Chase and Chelsea looked at each other in a bit of shock.

"Yeah, she was the welcoming committee. Hey, do you think we can catch up?" Mark asks hesitantly.

"You bet, just let me grab my stuff. Later guys."

Brianna and Mark walk off leaving Skye standing with a frown and Chase and Chelsea frozen in their spot.

"I'm her girlfriend," Skye murmurs as she sits down.

"How do you think they know each other?" Chase asks.

"It's probably from before she met any of us," Skye says.

"Are you okay?" Chelsea asks concerned for her friend.

"I don't know. I just want to know what is going on."

Brianna and Mark sit down at a bench on the other side of the Quad.

"So, what has been going on with you?" Mark asks gently.

"Well a lot of stuff has happened, I got adopted."

"That's great, by whom?"

"Probably the best people you would ever meet. Do you have Sawyer as a teacher?"

Mark nods his head.

"Yeah, well I was adopted by her and her wife."

"Wow, how is that?"

"It's going good. Hopefully I will be a sister again."

Mark smiles.

"You were always good at that. I just don't want to see you go through what you did before."

"Don't remind me Mark. I know what happened."

"I wouldn't mind repeating what happened with us," Mark says with a smirk.

Brianna hit him in the shoulder.

"You were comfort…a few times."

Later that night Brianna walks up to Skye's door and waits for her to come outside. She had called previously stating that they needed to talk.

"Hi," Skye says as she steps onto the porch.

"I guess I should explain Mark huh?"

Skye folds her arms across her chest.

"It would help."

Skye and Brianna sit down on the porch swing and Brianna starts talking.

"I've known Mark for a long time. He knew my brother and he knew my parents. He was best friend. When my brother died, he was there for me and I took advantage of that and I screwed a lot of stuff up."

Skye nods her head when Brianna looks at her and she grabs her hands.

"When we gave our hearts fully to each other I was kind of vague about my answer when you talked about your first time. I knew it was with me, but I should have said something about mine. It was Mark and despite how I was feeling, he was kind to me, but we were young and it just sort of happened a few times."

Skye has tears in her eyes and she wipes them away before asking the next question.

"Do you love him?"

Brianna frowns up at Skye.

"I love you! Why would you ask something like that?"

"Because you introduced me as your friend and not your girlfriend," Skye stands up from her porch and walks to her door. "And none of what you said was 'no Skye, I don't love him.'"

Skye walks into her house, leaving Brianna to think.

A Week Later

Peyton stands up in front of her class with a smile on her face. Her smile starts to fall when she sees her daughter and Skye looking away from each other. Normally they would be staring at each other. She knew there was something wrong and hopefully they could fix it.

"Well, you guys have been an awesome class and I love you all a lot. But there is a reason why I am taking a few minutes out of our class room time. My daughter told me or rather asked me why I was teaching when music was such huge part of my life and I can't remember what I said, but then she told me that I should follow my dreams like I let my wife follow hers. I guess what I am trying to say is that I won't be back next year. I'm starting my own Record Label and hopefully it won't fail."

Brianna smiles at the news.

"Isn't there a slight chance you will come back?" a boy asks from the front row.

"There used to be, but last night I received some news that made ecstatic. My wife is pregnant and I think I'm going to be kind of busy as well as my daughter."

Brianna groans and the class laughs. Skye smiles at her.

"I also wanted to say that sometimes in life things happen in your relationship that could change and as long as your love is strong it shouldn't matter…it really shouldn't."

Both Brianna and Skye knew that that comment was directed at them. They just didn't know what to do with it.

A/N-So there is trouble for Brianna and Skye. Brooke is pregnant and Peyton isn't teaching anymore. What about Mark?

Part Two coming up next week:

It will skip ahead about 6 months I think and a lot will get explained. Also, Part Two is going to expand until Brianna and Skye are 18 so that should be about 2 years although it won't feel like it.
